Chapter 1 The Frenzy

Just as Shi Feng finished giving Water Rose her instructions and hung up the call, he immediately contacted Melancholic Smile.

He instructed Melancholic Smile to post an announcement from the Zero Wing Guild on the official forum, once again raising the bounty on the Underworld Guild.

The original reward for killing ordinary members was 40 Silver Coins, now increased to 80 Silver Coins. Elite members went from 2 Gold Coins to 4 Gold Coins, and expert players went from 20 Gold Coins to 40 Gold Coins.

He also wanted an eye-catching title.

Dare the Underworld Guild Fight?

It could be said that killing one expert from the Underworld Guild would immediately allow players to buy mounts from the NPCs. Even those who already had mounts could use the money to buy Fine-Gold ranked equipment of Level 45 at the auction house.

This reward was very tempting even for expert players. After all, no matter how hard an expert player worked in a day, they couldn't earn even half that amount. Even if they died, as long as they killed an expert from the Underworld Guild, it wouldn't be a loss.

"Guild Leader, are you crazy?" Melancholic Smile looked at Shi Feng's latest bounty, her eyes almost popping out. "Where does our guild have so much money?"

This wasn't just some bounty game anymore; it was simply playing with their lives!

As soon as this bounty was announced, a large number of expert players would definitely go to kill members of the Underworld Guild. The bounty money paid out at that time would be no joke. With Zero Wing Guild's current income, it simply couldn't withstand it. It was simply playing self-destruction, letting other guilds and players laugh at them.

"Don't worry, I'll figure out the money issue. If we really can't hold on, we can sell all the dropped equipment obtained by the Black God Squad this time, or use it as an equivalent payment for the bounty money," Shi Feng said.

The current bounty was indeed a considerable burden for the Zero Wing Guild, but it didn't mean much to the Underworld Guild. Continuing to consume resources like this would only become more and more detrimental to them.

Relying solely on the Black God Squad's hunting was obviously not enough. After all, the Black God Squad had too few people, and the funds of the two sides were not at the same level. If they wanted to truly hurt the Underworld Guild, they could only injure themselves by 1000 to harm the enemy by 800.

Fortunately, the Black God Squad's gains from killing the Underworld Guild this time were quite rich. Just the obtained Level 45 Dark-Gold equipment was more than 400 pieces, Level 45 Fine-Gold equipment was more than 700 pieces, and Level 45 Mysterious-Iron equipment was more than 2000 pieces. It had to be said that the Underworld Guild's experts and elites had a lot of good equipment. These dropped weapons and equipment were enough for Zero Wing Guild to last for some time.

Moreover, he had already dispatched the Black God Squad. With a large number of other players hunting down the members of the Underworld Guild, it would also make it easier for the Black God Squad to hunt the Underworld Guild.

Besides these, magic ore would also be a major source of income in the future.

Currently, all major guilds were very short of magic ore, and the price of one piece had reached an outrageous 1 Gold and 20 Silver Coins. It should be known that the original price of one piece of magic ore was only 30 to 40 Silver Coins, and the Bone Erosion Land was a place rich in magic ore. It wouldn't be difficult to obtain a large amount of magic ore.

"I understand," Melancholic Smile could only nod helplessly. Although she trusted Shi Feng very much, she still felt that this was too crazy.

As Melancholic Smile sent out this news.

The players throughout the Star-Moon Kingdom were silent, followed by madness and amazement.

"Zero Wing is mighty!"

"So rich! Is this the foundation of the Zero Wing Guild?"

"Damn it! Is Zero Wing Guild trying to fight to the death? Killing an expert from the Underworld Guild is 40 Gold Coins. I'm wondering if those experts from the Underworld Guild will kill themselves first and then go to the Zero Wing Guild to collect the bounty."

"Crazy, Zero Wing Guild is really going crazy this time! I'm afraid many top experts will be tempted by this price."

"No, I want to form a team to brush the Underworld! Anyone want to team up?"

"Too awesome, Zero Wing Guild dares to do this, even the Underworld Guild will suffer heavy losses this time."

"The Underworld Guild is in big trouble this time. Even if they destroy the Zero Wing Guild, they probably won't have an easy time either."

Everyone felt deep sympathy for the Underworld Guild for Zero Wing Guild's sudden doubling of the bounty, and at the same time, they were shocked by Zero Wing Guild's large-scale actions.

No one expected the Zero Wing Guild to be so shocking when they finally made a move.

It was simply the behavior of a madman!

Orc Empire, Ancient Rock City.

As the only player city in the internal area of the Orc Empire, the players who come here every day are endless. The number of players is far greater than even the NPC big cities in the kingdom.

Although the city is full of flowers and bustling, the atmosphere in the meeting room of the Underworld Guild's駐地 was deathly silent. The huge hall was full of the high-level members of the Underworld Guild, each with a gloomy face, looking at Yi Xiao Du Zang, who was sitting on the guild leader's throne, feeling the heavy pressure.

Due to the Hunting War, they had lost a lot of equipment, and even many expert players had died. It was impossible to recover their levels in a short period.

But that was not all.

The reason why they were gathered here was entirely because of the announcement issued by the Zero Wing Guild.

Because of this announcement, the number of deaths of the Underworld Guild's members began to soar at an unprecedented rate...

"Madman! This Zero Wing Guild is simply a madman!" Yi Xiao Du Zang's eyebrows twitched as he looked at the latest number of deaths of guild members.

In less than half an hour after the Zero Wing Guild released the announcement, the number of player deaths in their Underworld Guild exceeded 4,000, which was much more than the number of player deaths in the Zero Wing Guild's Hunting War...

The indirect loss of Gold Coins amounted to as much as 7,000 to 8,000 Gold Coins. Of course, the Zero Wing Guild was not having an easy time either. They had to pay at least 10,000 Gold Coins. I'm afraid that in less than a day, the amount of Gold Coins consumed on their side would reach 50,000 to 60,000 or even 70,000.

Even if he had the Blackwater Corporation's investment and the income from Ancient Rock City, it probably wouldn't be enough.

"Guild Leader, I have investigated everything. The reason why we have suffered such heavy casualties is partly because those Black God Squad members have started to operate in the Orc Empire, causing considerable losses to our side. Although we have tried our best to encircle and suppress them, their actions are fast and we can't catch them at all. On the contrary, we have lost a lot of people because of it," Wu Xia said slowly. "In addition, the morale of our guild is very low, and even some elite members have already quit the guild..."

"Good, Zero Wing Guild! Good, Black Flame!" Yi Xiao Du Zang gritted his teeth as he looked at the information in his hand. "In that case, let's see who can last longer!"

He really didn't expect things to progress to this point.

With Zero Wing Guild doing this, even their Underworld Guild had to increase the corresponding bounty. Increasing the bounty was another large sum of money. The funds originally used to develop Ancient Rock City were all gone...

However, he was also confident that the current foundation of the Underworld Guild was not something that the Zero Wing Guild could compare to. With the continuous investment of the Blackwater Corporation, coupled with the constantly increasing number of players in Ancient Rock City, not to mention the full assistance of the Blackwater Guild, he really didn't believe that he couldn't beat a Zero Wing Guild.

On the other side, Shi Feng finally led the Zero Wing's internally trained members and the White Tiger Dojo's students to the Bone Erosion Land.

As soon as everyone arrived here, they felt enveloped by a dark force, which immediately made everyone feel very depressed, as if a thick fog covered their hearts. Moreover, the surroundings gave people an unspeakable sense of crisis, as if they could all be killed as long as they took a wrong step.

Faintly in the thick fog, a small town with towering walls loomed.

"What's going on? Why is there a small town here?" Shi Feng looked at the distant, intermittently visible town in surprise.

He was very familiar with the Bone Erosion Land, and he also clearly remembered that the Bone Erosion Land was the residence of demonic creatures. There were no towns at all. It was completely a barren land, and other creatures simply couldn't survive here, let alone human-style town buildings.
