The Desolate Ridge was a wasteland within Maple City's region. Not a single blade of grass grew here, and the ground was dry and cracked. Yellow sand covered the sky all year round. Yet, right now, many players were grinding here.
The Desolate Ridge was a Level 25 to Level 32 leveling map. Although it was a wasteland, various Stone Beasts lived here. Stone Beasts were Elemental Creatures, and they were excellent stone materials. As long as one killed a Stone Beast, there was a 20% chance of dropping Advanced Stones. There was even a certain chance of dropping rare ores.
Currently, the forging industry was very popular. Many Lifestyle players who did not like fighting would choose to learn forging. Hence, various forging materials were very popular on the market. Even if there were no treasures or high-level quests here, many players still liked to grind for stones and ores here.
Practically every city's high-resource areas had been claimed by the various large Guilds. Ordinary players had no way of entering these areas. If they were discovered, they would be chased away if they were lucky. If they were unlucky, only death would await them.
Naturally, ordinary players would not grind in these areas. They could only come to these ordinary maps.
However, after Shi Feng's last visit to Dragon Ridge, Overwhelming Smile's members had stopped visiting Dragon Ridge. Instead, they had come here to grind and level up. This situation had made many ordinary players run over to Dragon Ridge happily. Meanwhile, Black Flame's name had instantly become a target of worship for Maple City's ordinary players.
One person could force an entire Guild to back down. His strength was simply unimaginable!

Seeing this, Overwhelming Smile's Guild Leader, Laughing Heaven, wished he could cut the Shifeng into a thousand pieces.
However, Laughing Heaven could do nothing about it.
According to War Wolf's report, the Shifeng's Basic Attributes were simply too high. He was several times stronger than these experts. If they wanted to be a match for him … First, they needed to upgrade their equipment and increase their Basic Attributes. Until then, they had to hide as much as they could.
Of course, it was not impossible to deal with the Shifeng. Just a single large-scale destruction Spell was enough to annihilate most of them. They needed a legion of at least 1,000 players. However, the Shifeng's whereabouts were unpredictable. Trying to surround the Shifeng with just a few thousand players was practically impossible. Hence, they could only endure. They endured until they could contend with a strategic-level expert like Hei Yan.
"Damn it, how long do we have to stay here?" A Level 24 Summoner from Overwhelming Smile grumbled. "When has Overwhelming Smile ever suffered such a loss before? To think that we actually came to such a godforsaken place to level up. Isn't he just an expert? Moreover, I refuse to believe that we can't take him down with over a hundred people surrounding him."
"Shh, lower your voice, if you jinx it. What if that person really comes? " As the team leader, the Level 25 Elementalist frowned as he carefully looked around. He then said softly, "You were lucky that you didn't come to level up that night. If you had personally experienced that volcanic aura, you would know that hundreds of people were nothing more than ants in that person's eyes. Even the Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights with the highest Defense and HP couldn't block a single attack from him. "
Many people in the group nodded in agreement. Although it was daytime now, when he thought of the madness of that night … Until now, it still felt like last night.
"Leader, aren't you being a little too godly? Although our equipment isn't top-tier, even if we were fully geared in Level 25 Dark-Gold Equipment, it shouldn't be possible for him to kill our team's Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights with a single attack, right?" the Summoner said in disbelief.
Not long after the summoner finished speaking, a black shadow flew down from the sky.
"You don't believe me?
"Then, experience it for yourself."
The figure descending from the sky was none other than the Shifeng. As the Desolate Ridge was too large, and the members of Overwhelming Smile were scattered, the Shifeng had no choice but to activate Wind Rider to search for them. Now that they saw a hundred-man team from Overwhelming Smile, the Shifeng immediately dashed towards them.
The instant the team descended, the Shifeng switched the Aura of Wind for the Aura of Fire. Immediately, a Firestorm descended from the sky, enveloping an area with a radius of 30 yards.
Flames soared into the sky, instantly incinerating everything within its range. Even the Level 27 Stone Beasts, which had high Magic Resistance and 5,000 HP, turned into ash after the first wave of damage. Needless to say, there were many players with less than 5,000 HP who did not even have Magic Resistance.
In the blink of an eye, only a little over twenty members remained of Overwhelming Smile's 100-man team.
"They sure have a wide range of positions." After the Shifeng landed, he frowned when he saw that there were still quite a few players that had not been enveloped by the Firestorm.
However, the Firestorm had already stupefied the members of Overwhelming Smile.
"Not good! The Great Demon King is here! Retreat in all directions! Contact the Guild Leader and notify the others immediately!" the Elementalist, who was the team leader, shouted in the team chat.
"Leader, what are we afraid of? He's alone! Just watch how I deal with him! " Although the Summoner was shocked, he quickly chanted an incantation, summoning a Flame Spirit Beast to attack the Shifeng.
The Flame Spirit Beast was a fire-type Elemental Creature. It possessed extremely high fire-type damage. Moreover, it possessed a very powerful Skill.
Self-destruct!
Self-destruct dealt 300% damage to all targets within a 10-yard radius. It could be considered a very powerful AOE Skill. However, after Self-destruct, players would have to wait four hours before they could summon the Flame Spirit Beast again. Hence, it could not be used as a grinding Skill.
"Die!"
The Summoner controlled the Flame Spirit Beast to charge at the Shifeng.
When the Flame Spirit Beast was ten yards away from the Shifeng, the Summoner suddenly saw a flash of silver light. The silver light then pierced the Flame Spirit Beast's flaming body. Immediately after, the Flame Spirit Beast lost control and began to disintegrate.
"How is this possible?!" The Summoner was shocked.
The Flame Spirit Beast was currently his strongest summoned creature. It had over 10,000 HP. Yet, before the Flame Spirit Beast could get close to the Summoner, it had died. The Summoner had not even noticed how the Flame Spirit Beast had died …
To end the battle as soon as possible, the Shifeng immediately activated Defensive Blade and Purgatory Power, greatly increasing his attack range and damage. To the Shifeng, an attack range of ten yards and 10,000 HP was nothing.
By the time the Summoner recovered from his shock, he suddenly felt as if his entire body could not move. A person stood before him. Although the person wore a Black Cloak, hiding his appearance, the person's aura, as well as a chilling killing intent that the Summoner had never felt before, instantly shattered his will to resist.
The Summoner was completely dumbfounded.
"Is this person even human?"
At this moment, the Summoner finally understood why his team leader had spoken so mysteriously. He had even avoided mentioning Hei Yan's name.
In the blink of an eye, the Shifeng's figure disappeared.
"Was it my imagination?" Just as the Summoner was about to say something, he suddenly discovered his vision turning gray. Following which, his body collapsed to the ground. "When did he take action?"
In just a short moment, the 100-man team from Overwhelming Smile had been annihilated.
"After such a long time, they should've already notified the other members of the Guild. It will most likely be difficult for me to find Overwhelming Smile's members now." Shifeng sighed helplessly as he looked at the loot on the ground. There was still a long way to go before he could collect 5,000 points of Life Force.
