Chapter 765

"A Fine-Gold Treasure Chest!"

Hearing Shi Feng's words, everyone shifted their gazes to the distant, glowing altar.

Five crystal pillars that emitted a faint green light surrounded the altar, and on top of the shining altar, there was a gilded treasure chest.

Aside from the Gilded Treasure Chest, there was also a gigantic, pitch-black egg on the altar.

Many runes had been carved into the egg's surface, and one could faintly see white mist flowing into the egg.

"Rain, that's what you want, right?" Autumn Goose asked as she pointed at the gigantic, pitch-black egg.

Through the quest's introduction, everyone already knew that this quest was a quest that allowed them to obtain a Mount. Meanwhile, the reason they had come to the Crystal Forest was to obtain a sealed egg.

"That should be it." Thoughtful Rain nodded. However, when she looked at the altar, her expression turned slightly grim.

Currently, a faint blue barrier enveloped the altar. Meanwhile, an NPC stood beside the altar with his eyes closed. If one used an Identification Skill on this NPC, they would discover that this NPC was actually a Level 100, Tier 3 Illusionist.

[Gerrard] (Illusionist) Level 100 HP 8,000,000/8,000,000

Meanwhile, this Illusionist was marked with a red "Hostile Marker", which meant that this Tier 3 Illusionist was their enemy.

A Tier 3 class was equivalent to a Great Lord of the same level. Although NPCs had much less HP than a Great Lord of the same level, players were far more willing to deal with a Great Lord of the same level than a Tier 3 NPC.

Not to mention, the NPC before them was a Level 100, Tier 3 NPC.

The instant everyone saw Gerrard, they felt their bodies grow heavy, and the atmosphere in the room froze. They were as happy as they had been when they had obtained a Berserk Skill.

"We can't be trying to defeat him, right?!" Blue Bamboo whispered as she pointed at Gerrard. She was deeply afraid of disturbing Gerrard.

Everyone in the team didn't know what to say after hearing this.

If they really had to deal with Gerrard to complete this quest, then this trip would have been a waste.

Not to mention a Level 100, Tier 3 NPC. Even a Level 100, Tier 1 NPC would be no match for them. The massive difference in levels resulted in a massive difference in Attributes. This was not something current equipment could easily make up for.

Just as everyone was about to give up …

"No, there should be a way to complete this quest," Shi Feng suddenly said through the team chat.

"You have a way?" Everyone could not help but stare at Shi Feng as if he were a monster.

Not to mention taking the egg from a Level 100, Tier 3 NPC, it would already be a miracle if they could even last a few seconds against Gerrard. How could they possibly take the egg?

In the eyes of Autumn Goose, Death Wind, and Gunfire … This was something that was simply impossible to achieve.

Gerrard was a Level 100, Tier 3 NPC, not an ordinary monster.

"Mhm. That Gerrard is obviously maintaining the defensive magic array by injecting a large amount of Mana into the egg. If we go over, there will be two outcomes. The first is that Gerrard will give up on maintaining the magic array and attack us. The second is that he will summon a summoned creature to deal with us. However, Gerrard will not be able to move while maintaining the magic array. As long as we interrupt his casting, the defensive magic array will similarly lose its effect. "

"It doesn't matter if it's the former or the latter. As long as the magic array loses its effect, we will have a chance to snatch the egg. The only problem is how to delay Gerrard. We can give the others an opportunity to obtain the egg. "

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard Death Wind's words.

"But who among us can delay that NPC?" Autumn Goose asked. "Even if Big Brother Wind is a Shield Warrior, he will most likely die instantly against a Level 100, Tier 3 NPC. I'm afraid he'll be killed instantly. How will the others get the egg? "

To put it bluntly, they did not even qualify to be cannon fodder. How were they supposed to snatch the egg?

"I can delay him for a moment. However, the person taking action needs to be quick. If they aren't quick enough, we won't be able to complete this task," Shi Feng said after giving the matter some thought.

With his current standards, he definitely could not defeat a Tier 3 Illusionist. However, he was still somewhat confident of stalling for time.

Although Shi Feng had spoken softly, everyone's jaws dropped when they heard his words.

Based on Shi Feng's words and actions, they already knew what kind of person he was.

He was definitely a trustworthy person who would do what he said.

Since Shi Feng dared to say such a thing, it meant that he was confident of accomplishing it. Otherwise, he would not have asked at all.

"But none of us have speed-type classes. I'm afraid we won't make it in time," Thoughtful Rain said, shaking her head.

Aside from Shi Feng, who could stall for time, everyone else was a Warrior. They simply could not make it in time.

"Don't you have a battle spirit?" Shi Feng asked, chuckling.

Battle Spirit Possession could increase a player's Agility. With that, their speed would naturally increase as well. Moreover, he also had a Speed Increase Scroll.

"But this Skill Book is incomparably precious. Moreover, it is thanks to your help that we were able to enter this place. Is it really alright for outsiders like us to learn Battle Spirit Possession?" Autumn Goose asked awkwardly.

A Berserk Skill was even more precious than a top-tier Dark-Gold Weapon.

"It's just a Skill Book. If you really feel bad about it, why don't you join Zero Wing? Experts like you will normally receive a set of Dark-Gold Equipment and a Berserk Skill Book as a bonus. Moreover, Zero Wing has a lot of freedom. It doesn't restrict players from doing anything. If you want to go on an adventure or do a quest, the Guild will provide all sorts of assistance," Shi Feng said, chuckling.

Whether it was Autumn Goose, Death Wind, or the others, their combat standards were remarkable. However, they lacked proper guidance. Otherwise, they would have been able to become independent experts.

Although Zero Wing had grown a lot stronger, it only had a few experts.

If Autumn Goose and the others were willing to join Zero Wing, the Guild would undoubtedly grow even stronger.

Not to mention a Berserk Skill Book, Zero Wing would even give them a Tier 1 Set Equipment.

Moreover, while the Battle Spirit Possession might be valuable to other expert players, it was nothing to Zero Wing's experts. He could simply use Power of Darkness. Although Power of Darkness didn't provide as much of a boost as the Battle Spirit Possession, it had a much longer duration. Overall, the Battle Spirit Possession was much stronger than the Battle Spirit Possession.

Compared to the Berserk Skill Books, Shi Feng was far more interested in the Fine-Gold Treasure Chest.

Hearing Shi Feng's straightforward attempt to recruit them, Autumn Goose and the others fell silent.

Previously, they had viewed Zero Wing with disdain. However, after seeing Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo's daily lives, in addition to an expert like Shi Feng, their impression of Zero Wing had changed significantly.

Even an expert like Shi Feng was willing to help Thoughtful Rain with her quests. Other Guilds would not even dare to imagine such a thing happening. Moreover, Thoughtful Rain normally adventured with them without any restrictions. On the contrary, every time they completed a quest, Thoughtful Rain would provide plenty of information and clues.

The information Thoughtful Rain provided was confidential information that they could not find, and it would be much more convenient for them to complete their quests.

In the end, after the three of them discussed the matter, Autumn Goose walked up to Shi Feng with a serious expression.
