The scene of Shifeng instantly killing Thousand Mile Bear stupefied the remaining members of The Million Ghosts, who were preparing to flee.
Shifeng's speed was simply too fast.
They had only seen Thousand Mile Bear's body fall to the ground as soon as he finished speaking. Before they knew it, Shifeng was already standing beside Thousand Mile Bear, looking like the Grim Reaper.
Monster!
This thought immediately entered the minds of The Million Ghosts' members. Only now did they understand why Shifeng looked down on the Dark Guild The Million Ghosts so much.
With such strength, even the Guild's three giants would not be a match for him.
At this moment, Red Rain and Rainless Path were similarly shocked as they stared at the Shifeng. They had a rough understanding of how strong Thousand Mile Bear was. Even if the two of them worked together, they would have to expend quite a bit of effort to take down the Berserker. The Berserker might even escape. Yet, Shifeng had killed Thousand Mile Bear as if he were an ant.
They could no longer imagine how strong Shifeng was.
"I thought his companions were strong enough. I never imagined that he himself was even stronger. Fortunately, I agreed to his request." Red Rain still felt some lingering fear when she recalled how she had taken a Gold Coin from Shifeng. Fortunately, she had not offended Shifeng in any way. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"So, this is what a true expert is like." Rainless Path felt an indescribable excitement when he recalled that lightning-fast sword strike.
In Starfall City, Rainless Path was already one of the top experts. He no longer had any worthy opponents. However, after seeing Shifeng's stunning performance, he finally understood what an expert was.
A true expert was someone who could push their body and techniques to their limits. They did not waste the slightest bit of Strength. Just because they were slightly stronger than ordinary players did not mean they were an expert.
After Thousand Mile Bear's death, Fire Dance and the others quickly killed the remaining members of The Million Ghosts, obtaining some top-tier equipment.
Although these Level 25 Dark-Gold and Fine-Gold Equipment were useless to Fire Dance and the others, many Guild members wanted to snatch the Level 25 Dark-Gold and Fine-Gold Equipment. However, there were a bunch of players in the Guild who were vying for these items. Hence, Shi Feng kept all of them in his bag and did not leave them for the Red Rain Caravan.
"Thank you for your help, Big Brother Expert. If not for you, our Red Rain Caravan would have fallen today." Although Shifeng had hidden his name, Red Rain's face revealed that he was not young. That was why Red Rain called Shifeng Big Brother Expert and thanked him profusely.
"There's no need to thank me. I'm just doing what a guard should do." Shifeng waved his hand. He then shifted his gaze to The Million Ghosts' dead member, saying softly, "A large Guild has already set its sights on this trade route. In the future, other caravans will have to pay a toll if they wish to use this trade route. May I know what plans Miss Red has for the future?"
Dark Guilds were much more tyrannical than normal Guilds. Dark Guilds would not give up on this source of income just because of a single failure. They would act again and again like a hungry wolf, not giving up until they achieved their goals. After all, Dark Guilds had a much smaller source of Coins than ordinary Guilds. If they wished to develop, they had to do so. This was also the main direction that Dark Guilds should take to develop.
Moreover, as players continued to level up, the trade routes would also become more prosperous. Collecting tolls would be extremely satisfying. Furthermore, it was a business without any capital, and it controlled several major trade routes at the same time. It would likely be even more profitable than the current Candlelight. Hence, The Million Ghosts would not give up.
For a Caravan formed by independent players like the Red Rain Caravan, there was no guarantee of safety. Even with Rainless Path overseeing the caravan, the outcome would be the same. At the end of the day, the strength an independent expert could exhibit was limited. Even Violet Cloud, who had left Ouroboros in the past, had established her own Workshop as a foundation. Otherwise, she would not have been able to become a Tier 6 Cleric God.
After hearing Shifeng's words, Red Rain finally realized the severity of the situation.
No matter how powerful an independent Caravan was, it could not possibly stop a large Guild.
"If we can't do it here, then our Red Rain Caravan can only develop in other cities." Red Rain could not help but sigh. Originally, the Red Rain Caravan had just begun to show signs of improvement. She had never imagined that such a situation would occur.
"Go to other cities?" Very quickly, Rainless Path thought of the crucial point. Shaking his head, he said, "Big Sis Red Rain, I'm afraid that large Guilds will also try to interfere in other cities. The only difference is the toll they collect."
Hearing this, Red Rain's expression became even more dejected.
This situation made it impossible for independent players to survive …
"Miss Red Rain, if you wish to continue your business, I know of a good place to go. Only, I'm not sure if you are interested," Shifeng said, smiling.
"Please speak, Big Brother Expert," Red Rain could not help her interest.
"Recently, Candlelight will be hiring some Caravans to transport Candlelight's goods to other kingdoms and empires. With the backing of a trading firm, you won't have to worry about large Guilds robbing you when you transport your goods in the future." Shifeng finally revealed his true intentions.
Red Rain and the others were more familiar with the transportation of goods. As time passed, Candlelight would eventually have its own Caravan to transport its goods. Now, not only could he lay down some foundations, but he could also improve the relationship between Red Rain and Rainless Path.
"Candlelight? Is that the trading firm established by the famous Ling YI Society in Starmoon Kingdom?" Red Rain's breathing quickened.
If Candlelight really wanted to hire a Caravan to transport its goods, this would be great news for her. She would have an additional layer of protection. The only problem was that Candlelight would have to prioritize transporting its goods. However, the Red Rain Caravan would no longer have to worry about being robbed in the future.
The Ling YI Society was one of the most powerful Guilds in the entire Starmoon Kingdom. Even the super-first-rate Guild, the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, could not do anything to the Guild, not to mention the other Guilds in Starmoon Kingdom.
"Thank you for your reminder, Big Brother Expert. I'll make the necessary preparations once we return," Red Rain thanked Shi Feng profusely.
Following which, Red Rain had her subordinates clean up the battlefield. She planned to visit Candlelight once she was done transporting her goods.
"Guild Leader, when did Candlelight start hiring a Caravan to transport its goods? Why didn't you tell me? "Shiuse Qiangwei, who stood beside Shi Feng, asked curiously.
It was not easy for a Caravan to transport goods. Based on the previous battle, Red Rain knew that there were many factors involved.
"We just decided on it," Shifeng said, chuckling.
"…" Shiuse Qiangwei was momentarily speechless. He could not help but look at Red Rain's departing figure, then at Shifeng, a meaningful smile appearing on his face. When he looked at Shifeng, his expression clearly said, "I understand."
…
Half an hour later, the Red Rain Caravan arrived at the exit of the Great Forest of Soria. Shifeng and the others had also completed their agreement. After bidding farewell to Red Rain and the others, they headed deeper into the Great Forest of Soria.
Four hours later, Shifeng and the others arrived at a forest beside a small lake.
"Guild Leader, aren't we here to capture a Guild Mount? Why have we come to a place where there aren't even any monsters? " Hei Zi surveyed her surroundings. Even after waiting for a long time, she did not see a single beast or monster around the lake. No matter how she looked at it, it did not seem like a place to capture a Mount.
As soon as Hei Zi finished speaking, she heard the sound of wings flapping.
Turning towards the source of the sound, a twenty-meter-tall lion with golden wings descended from the sky, landing beside the clear lake.
"A Great Lord!" Hei Zi's jaw dropped when she saw the lion.
