Chapter 1 The Momentum

As Shi Feng left, the members of the Blackwater Guild breathed a sigh of relief, and the major guilds present also felt much more relaxed.

"Did he just leave like that? Is he not going to deal with the Blackwater people?"

"I guess Black Flame doesn't bother with Blackwater's members. I saw the battle in the Ancient God's Ruins. Black Flame single-handedly withstood legendary monsters and wreaked havoc among Blackwater's army and the Evil Beast army. A thousand-man elite team probably isn't even worth his attention."

"Too strong! Just one person is enough to make the members of the major guilds breathless. No wonder everyone acknowledges Black Flame as the number one expert in the Star-Moon Kingdom. He's on a completely different level than those top experts."

...

Not far away, the adventurer team members watched the major guild members, none of whom dared to move rashly, and were shocked. They had never imagined that one person's power could be so terrifying.

They had heard many stories about Black Flame before, and they all felt like jokes, passed down through exaggeration.

But now, seeing it with their own eyes, they truly understood that the rumors were true, and even more terrifying.

This gave some free players who were not very interested in joining a guild some ideas, namely joining the Zero Wing Guild, especially those swordsman players who wanted to improve.

Shi Feng himself did not know that his unintentional action made many free players in the Orc Empire want to join Zero Wing even more.

At the same time, the commotion caused by Shi Feng's appearance also made the dark players hidden in the shadows take action.

"Leader, we found Black Flame."

"Where?"

"He's here on the border of the Orc Empire, but he's surrounded by a lot of NPCs, making it difficult to deal with him."

"Keep following him. I'll gather the troops immediately. As long as our Wind Arrow Adventure Team can kill Black Flame once, we can join Dark Soul. We must not miss this opportunity. Keep a close watch on him."

"Yes!"

With Shi Feng's appearance, one dark adventure team after another in the Orc Empire took action.

Because not long ago, the Dark Soul of the Dark Night Empire had issued a reward for the Zero Wing Guild. As long as they could kill a high-level member of the Zero Wing Guild, one person could get a spot for dark mutation. If they could kill the guild leader of the Zero Wing Guild, whether it was an adventure team or an individual, they could join Dark Soul and become the leader of the new adventure team formed by Black Flame's Soul.

For players who walk in the dark, the name of Dark Soul is like normal players worshiping those super-first-class guilds and super guilds. Being able to join it and become the leader of an adventure team is no less than the vice president profession in the guild, so how could it not be exciting?

Because of this, the major dark adventure teams, and even some dark guilds, actively took action, wanting to find Black Flame's whereabouts.

Maybe Black Flame is very powerful, but ants can kill an elephant, not to mention that there are many special means in God's Domain to kill a player once, not necessarily relying solely on strength.

On the gravel path, the Thunder Horn Earth Dragon galloped all the way.

As it went deeper into the Orc Empire, the monsters and orcs blocking the road became stronger and stronger, from the beginning of the Elite rank to gradually becoming the Lord rank, and then the High Lord.

If the Thunder Horn Earth Dragon were not an 80th-level Great Lord, it would have been stopped on the road long ago.

"It is really difficult to open trade routes in the territory of the dark forces." Shi Feng sat in the carriage and looked at the Lord-ranked orcs being knocked away one by one, feeling very fortunate.

Fortunately, he was the first player in the Star-Moon Kingdom to open a trade route, so he had the authority to use the Thunder Horn Earth Dragon. Normally, opening a trade route would involve using Mysterious-Iron-grade transport vehicles, and the mounts for opening the road would only be Lord-ranked. It can be said that it is difficult to move forward in a neutral map controlled by dark forces. You can only rely on the NPCs to fight all the way, or let the guild send a large number of players to open the way.

Now with the Thunder Horn Earth Dragon, it is much easier, but the forward speed is much slower, which is only a little faster than the player's running speed.

And this is just the beginning in the neutral map controlled by the dark forces. As Shi Feng goes deeper, the monsters and orcs he encounters later will become stronger, and even with the three-tier NPCs accompanying him, it will gradually become difficult to cope with.

After spending seven or eight hours, Shi Feng came to an orc fortress, which is also the last base point for building a magic array on the trade route.

"This mission... Does it really require building a magic array inside the fortress?" Shi Feng looked at the army of orcs holding swords and wearing armor on the city wall, and wondered if he had seen the marked location on the map incorrectly.

The orcs blocking the way here are completely on a different level than before.

Before, they were all beasts and patrolling orcs, but now they are well-trained troops of the Orc Empire. Only because of the mission, the number of guards is only about three thousand, but their levels have been greatly improved. The weakest are all Elite ranked, and most are Lord ranked. Their levels are not lower than those of the accompanying NPCs, and the leader is an 80th-level Legendary orc general...

As the orc general raised the battle knife in his hand and shouted angrily, the three thousand orc army guarding the city walked out of the gate of the fortress, step by step pressing towards Shi Feng and others. The front row was full of strong orcs holding shields, and the last row was orcs holding bows and arrows, which made the accompanying NPCs nervous.

The number of Great Lord-ranked orcs that can be seen is more than a hundred, and there are more than a dozen High Great Lords, and even a Legendary orc general leads them. The two sides are not on the same level at all.

Just when Shi Feng didn't know what was going on, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his ear.

System: The player has triggered the epic trade route mission "The Ambition of the Beast King". The player can choose to accept or give up. The mission reward is that the player will receive an award from the Star-Moon Kingdom and obtain the qualification to build a flying ship port. Giving up this mission will change the established coordinate point and will not affect the player's original trade route mission. The player has three minutes to consider.

"Epic trade route mission?" Shi Feng was stunned when he saw the prompt displayed by the system, but after seeing the mission reward, he couldn't help but get excited. "Could it be because of the reward for the first trade route?"

The construction qualification of the airship port!

This is what countless guilds are pursuing in the neutral map, but very few guilds can do it, and no guild has even revealed how they got this construction qualification.

This sensational scene made the major dark adventure teams and dark guilds following Shi Feng dumbfounded.

"Damn! What's the situation? Is Black Flame going to attack the fortress?"

"He's going to attack the fortress alone. Is he crazy?"

"This Black Flame is too arrogant! This is an orc fortress. Although he can contend with legendary monsters in a short time, it is impossible for him to lead some NPCs to take it down."

Everyone watched Shi Feng and others and the orc army approaching each other, and couldn't help but be stunned.

They have seen many guilds attacking fortresses in the Orc Empire, but this is the first time they have seen someone attacking a fortress alone like this...

"Leader, what should we do? Should we deal with Black Flame now?"

"These orcs are too high level, and there is a legendary orc. If we accidentally get involved, it would be a loss. Let's take a look at the situation first. It would be best if Black Flame is defeated by these orc army, and we can go up later."

Seeing that the orc army had rushed in front of Shi Feng and others, the major dark adventure teams and dark guilds planned to wait and see first.

Watching the orc army getting closer and closer, the accompanying NPCs were also ready to fight.

"We can only fight it." Shi Feng looked at the mission reward and analyzed his combat power and feasibility. After all, it was just building a magic array, not occupying the fortress itself. The two were qualitatively different, and the difficulty was much lower. If he missed such a great opportunity, it would be a pity.

Then Shi Feng gritted his teeth and clicked to accept the mission. Then he took out a crimson magic scroll engraved with divine patterns from his backpack.

This magic scroll is the fourth-order continuous magic scroll Fire God's Lament obtained from the magic crystal treasure chest, a magic scroll that is more valuable than ordinary epic equipment.

And it is still an ultra-rare summoning scroll.

Originally, he wanted to keep it as a trump card for the guild war, but it was still worth it to complete this epic trade route mission.

Then Shi Feng poured the magic power of a thousand magic crystals in his backpack into it.

Suddenly, a crimson triple magic array formed under Shi Feng's feet, and the sky began to change, and the earth began to tremble.

"Why is it getting dark?"

Everyone suddenly found that the sky had become gray, as if day had suddenly turned into night, the entire space began to solidify, and then everyone felt an unspeakable sense of fear all over their bodies.
