Chapter 16 Long眠之地

Outside the Resting Ground, one of the three great dungeons, many guilds had established strongholds to facilitate their strategies.

Inside the Dark Star Guild's stronghold.

"We've acquired the Arcane Shield, so the MT problem is finally solved. Next, we must take the lead and be the first to conquer the Resting Ground on Hell difficulty," Wei Wo Dukuang said, full of vigor.

He had put in a lot of effort to buy the Arcane Shield. To quickly raise the 30 gold, he spent a whopping 700,000 credits. But now that he had it, Dark Star Guild could be said to be the second guild in White River City that could start raiding the three great dungeons on Hell difficulty.

The main reason Dark Star was surpassed by Serpent Swallow was that their MT wasn't strong enough. But now it was different. With the Arcane Shield, Dark Star was on the same starting line as Serpent Swallow.

As for the other guilds, they were not worth fearing.

Even if Zero Wing Guild already had the Arcane Shield, a newly established guild simply didn't have the resources to raid the three great dungeons.

At this moment, a system announcement rang out.

White River City Regional System Announcement: Congratulations to Zero Wing for becoming the first team to conquer the Devil's Castle on Hell difficulty. All players in the team are rewarded with 300,000 experience points and 10 silver coins, as well as 40 points of White River City reputation and 10 points of Star-Moon Kingdom reputation.

White River City Regional System Announcement: Congratulations to Zero Wing for becoming the fastest team to clear the Devil's Castle on Hell difficulty. All players in the team are rewarded with 300,000 experience points and a Tier 2 random attribute gem, as well as 30 points of White River City reputation and 10 points of Star-Moon Kingdom reputation.

…

It was repeated three times in a row.

Wei Wo Dukuang was stunned for a long time.

He knew very well what kind of team dungeon the Devil's Castle was. If the first clear of the three great dungeons wasn't so important, Dark Star Guild would have started raiding it long ago.

But now Zero Wing Guild had secretly taken the first clear, and it was even on Hell difficulty…

Currently, Serpent Swallow was the only guild in White River City that could clear a 20-man Hell difficulty team dungeon, but that was just a low-level level 10 dungeon, not a high-level level 15 dungeon like this.

"How could this be? It's just a guild that was established not long ago. How did they do it?" Wei Wo Dukuang couldn't figure it out. "Could it be that Ye Feng secretly helped them? That's impossible. It's a 20-man dungeon, and individual power is ultimately limited."

"Guild Leader, should we investigate immediately?" an assassin asked.

"No, the three great dungeons take priority. Zero Wing only got the first clear of the Devil's Castle on Hell difficulty. Once we get the first clear of the Resting Ground, Zero Wing Guild will just be a foil to our Dark Star," Wei Wo Dukuang shook his head and smiled dismissively.

Although Wei Wo Dukuang was very disdainful, the other guilds in White River City didn't think so, and the free players were even more amazed.

Before, everyone thought that Zero Wing Guild was not worthy of being ranked among the top six guilds in White River City. However, since one guild had eight people occupying the top eight spots on the level honor roll, no one would say anything. Now that they had taken the Hell difficulty first clear of the Devil's Castle, it meant that dungeons were no longer Zero Wing's weakness.

This made many gaming experts who were still hesitating whether to join Zero Wing feel tempted.

Because Zero Wing Guild was the second guild in White River City to take down a 20-man Hell difficulty team dungeon, and it was the highest-level level 15 dungeon that players could currently enter, which was far ahead of other guilds.

While the people of White River City were talking about it, Shi Feng and the others had already started their spoils distribution meeting.

As a Boss second only to the final Boss of the three great Hell difficulty dungeons, the Dark Knight Gaia could be said to be the most powerful Boss below level 20. Combined with the terrifying increase from the quest, he was even stronger than the final Boss of the three great Hell difficulty dungeons. His drops were naturally not bad.

A total of twenty-seven items dropped, including nine pieces of weapons and equipment, a forging design, a tailoring design, a potion formula, a cooking recipe, three precious crafting materials, ten magic spirit crystals, and a demon's heart, which was Shi Feng's quest item.

Five of the nine pieces of weapons and equipment were Dark-Gold ranked, and all of them were upgradeable weapons that could be used from level 15 to level 20. One of the priest's staffs and a piece of priest's cloth armor were given to Ziyan Liuyun, a warlock's headgear was given to Heizi, an elementalist's shoulder armor was given to Shuise, and a shield warrior's gauntlet was given to Ye Wumian.

There were also four Fine-Gold ranked items. Two of them were leather armor chest pieces and shoulder armor, which were both given to Huowu. There was also a ranger's longbow, which was given to Qingse Huiyi, one of the Five Demon Generals, and a two-handed greatsword was given to the berserker, Shuiniu.

After the equipment was distributed, the team's combat power had increased a lot.

Even in the entire White River City, it would be impossible to find a second team with such equipment.

As for the other items, Shi Feng kept them all.

"This harvest is really not small." Shi Feng looked at the designs and formulas in his backpack, feeling very happy.

Although these things were valuable in the hands of others, they were capital for him to make big money.

Among them, the forging design was for the Gem Socket Design, which allowed a piece of bronze rank or higher equipment to have an additional gem socket. A maximum of three gem sockets could be used on the whole body, which meant that there could be three more gem sockets.

The value of this thing was no less than that of the Advanced Whetstone Design.

In addition, the other formulas and designs were also very good, but their value was not as great as the Gem Socket, and they had a wider audience.

After leaving the Devil's Castle, Shi Feng let everyone move freely, and he went to the White River City Hall.

Arriving at the reception room of the City Hall, the Tier 4 magic导师 (mó dǎo shī, mage) Weisman was still leisurely, standing quietly by the French window, observing the square outside.

"Young man, you've come. I've already heard about your matter from that girl, Xia Lian." Before Shi Feng could walk in, Weisman, as a powerhouse, had already discovered Shi Feng. He left the window, came to Shi Feng, and nodded with a smile, "Not bad, not bad at all. I didn't expect this old fellow to misjudge one day, hahaha."

"You not only killed Gaia but also saved the entire White River City. I don't know how to reward you."

"Well, let me make the decision. From now on, you are the viscount of White River City."

"You have such strength. I think you should be able to protect that place. Take this Black Iron Contract."

System: Completed the unique quest "Demon's Heart". Quest rewards: White River City viscount title and Black Iron Contract, 500,000 experience points, 2 gold coins, and 50 free mastery points.

Shi Feng was stunned and very surprised. The reward was too generous, especially the viscount title, which only Shi Feng knew the meaning of.

"By the way, I almost forgot. That little girl, Xia Lian, said she had something to do with you. She's in the Star Observation Tower. If you have nothing else to do, go see that girl. It's a rare opportunity, so don't miss it." Weisman looked at Shi Feng meaningfully and smiled.
