Several figures suddenly appeared in the quiet and secluded primeval forest.
Following the appearance of these figures, the cave in the distance collapsed, and a pillar of light shot into the sky. The frightening pressure from the pillar of light caused even the air to freeze. At the same time, a deafening roar echoed throughout the forest.
At this moment, everyone finally understood how frightening a Level 100, Tier 3 NPC was.
Meanwhile, the Shifeng had actually managed to survive against such an NPC for so long. They were simply monsters.
This situation made Autumn Goose, Death Wind, Gunfire, and the others sigh inwardly.
Previously, they had clearly had the opportunity to deepen their relationship with an expert like the Shifeng. They might even have been able to obtain guidance from the Shifeng. Yet, they had rejected the offer.
"Quick, use your Return Scrolls!" Shifeng hurriedly said when he saw that everyone had gathered.
Although the Tier 1 Instantaneous Movement Scroll was very useful for escaping, their pursuer was a Level 100, Tier 3 NPC. The NPC would not let them off so easily.
Hearing Shifeng's reminder, everyone promptly took out their Return Scrolls and activated them.
Time slowly passed. Everyone was extremely nervous. If a Tier 3 NPC were to catch up to them, they wouldn't even be able to escape.
Fortunately, the Tier 1 Instantaneous Movement Scroll allowed them to travel far away. Even after Gerrard exited the cave, he did not discover them immediately. Even after waiting for the Return Scrolls to activate, Gerrard still failed to locate the Shifeng.
White River City's Teleportation Hall:
"That was close. I thought I nearly lost my life." Blue Bamboo patted her chest. Even though they had already returned to the city, she was still somewhat afraid.
To current players, the Strength of a Level 100, Tier 3 NPC was practically invincible.
This was the first time she had seen a monster capable of shattering a player's Attack Energy. One could just imagine how massive the gap between the two sides was.
Fortunately, they had completed their quest.
However, shortly after Blue Bamboo finished speaking … The sound of a system quest notification entered everyone's ears.
System: Gerrard has targeted you. If you do not hatch the giant egg within three days, Gerrard will kill you. In the future, as long as you appear in a field map, Gerrard will discover your presence. If Gerrard kills you, the death penalty will be doubled and you will be Weakened for three days.
"Why is there another quest?" Thoughtful Rain frowned when she saw the system notification.
The original mission was for them to obtain the giant egg. Now that the mission had been completed with great difficulty, there was another mission, and the punishment for this mission was quite severe.
If he failed the quest, he would have to constantly face Level 100, Tier 3 NPCs in the future. However, if he wanted to kill a Level 100, Tier 3 NPC... This wasn't something that current players could do. This made it impossible for players to level up in the fields.
Autumn Goose and the others were also shocked. They had not expected to be implicated while helping someone else with a quest.
This was the first time they had encountered such a mission.
They had seen Gerrard's power with their own eyes. If they encountered Gerrard in the wild, they would definitely die.
"Are there any conditions for hatching the giant egg?" the Shifeng asked Autumn Goose. He was already used to this.
"Let me see," Autumn Goose said. Hurriedly, he checked the egg's statistics. "It says that hatching this egg requires a large amount of Life Force. We need to kill a Level 40 Great Lord or above."
"How many do we need to kill?" Shifeng asked.
"Twenty!" Autumn Goose said helplessly.
"Twenty? Are you kidding me? That's a Great Lord we're talking about! "Blue Bamboo could not help but despair.
Death Wind and Gunfire also frowned.
A Level 40 Great Lord was no laughing matter. Normally, a 100-man team needed to be at least Level 40 and fully geared in top-tier equipment. They also could not afford to make any mistakes during battle. Only then could they raid the Great Lord.
Even if they gathered such a team, raiding a single Great Lord would take half a day. Who knew how many people they would have to sacrifice to do so?
In a short three days … It was simply impossible to raid twenty Level 40 Great Lords simultaneously.
Moreover, Level 40 Great Lords were not that easy to find. Normally, players could only raid 100-man Team Dungeons. If they searched the fields, they might not even find twenty Great Lords in three days.
However, raiding a Level 40, 100-man Team Dungeon was incredibly difficult. Even now, the various large Guilds were still challenging Hard Mode, not to mention Hell Mode.
Even if they used all of the Wind God's Spear's power, they could not complete such a task in three days.
Just as everyone despaired …
"Actually, it's not that difficult." After giving the matter some thought, Shifeng said, "However, we need to make some preparations. Wait here for a moment."
With the strength of a six-man party, it was naturally impossible for them to defeat a Level 40 Great Lord. However, a 20-man team should be able to do so.
"What? There's even a way?" Gunfire stared at Shifeng, who was brimming with confidence, in astonishment.
Even Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo were shocked, much less Gunfire.
That was a Level 40 Great Lord they were talking about. Why did Shifeng treat it like a Common monster in the fields?
After waiting for some time, cheers rang out in the massive Teleportation Hall.
"Wow! Isn't that Ling YI Society's Fire Dance?"
"Look! That's Ling YI Society's Vice Guild Leader, Shiuse Qiangwei!"
…
When the players in the Teleportation Hall saw Fire Dance's group, they were stupefied.
To ordinary players, Ling Yi's experts were practically legends. They were characters from two different worlds. After the battle in the Stoneclaw Mountains, everyone finally understood what an expert truly was.
Currently, Ling Yi's core members had long since become the idols of White River City's players. How could they not be excited to see such famous characters in the flesh?
"What?!" Blue Bamboo was stupefied when she saw Fire Dance and the others.
These people were all Ling Yi's upper echelons. Every one of them was a top-tier expert in the Starmoon Kingdom. Yet, Shifeng had only contacted them for a brief moment, and all of them had rushed over.
Moreover, even Violet Cloud, whom she idolized, was present.
She simply could not believe this was real.
"Just who is this Ye Feng?" Autumn Goose could not help but look at Xiang Shifeng.
Death Wind and Gunfire were similarly shocked.
Previously, they had looked down on Guild experts. However, after seeing Ling Yi's experts, they suddenly felt that they had been frogs at the bottom of a well. Every one of these experts gave off an immense pressure.
This was especially true for Fire Dance, who stood in the middle of the team. The pressure she gave off was as if a humanoid Lord ranked monster stood before them. With just a glance, they felt a chill run down their spines. Their first instinct was to get as far away from Fire Dance as possible.
When such a group of experts stood together, the pressure they felt was even greater.
It was as if the space around them had frozen, making it difficult for them to move.
They hadn't even fought yet, but it was already like this. If the two sides fought …
They were certain that they would not be able to escape these people's clutches.
"Alright, now that everyone's here, we can start the quest," Shifeng said, chuckling.
