Chapter 194 Crisis

Inside the dim offline space, Stone Peak had barely clicked to request a call when Sharlyn from the other side connected the video call.

In the video, Sharlyn was clearly in the wilderness, looking anxious, with the sounds of intense combat all around her.

"Guild Leader, you've finally restored communications." Sharlyn's furrowed brow relaxed slightly, as if relieved. "If I couldn't reach you, I was about to have Blackie contact you directly."

"What's wrong?" Stone Peak asked, surprised, looking at Sharlyn's somewhat weary expression.

He hadn't been in God's Domain for long, and he hadn't received any information before entering. But as soon as he came out, so many people were urgently trying to contact him, which left him a little confused.

And looking at Sharlyn's anxious expression, it seemed that the matter was not small. Otherwise, with Sharlyn's abilities, she would have solved it herself and wouldn't need to contact him.

Now that Zero Wing Guild had White Feather's joining, the guild was stronger than before. However, in terms of guild management, Sharlyn's side was much more relaxed. With Sharlyn and White Feather both being capable, they could handle many things without him having to make decisions. That's why he felt at ease coming to change classes, otherwise his class change plan would have to be delayed.

"Not long ago, the Heaven's Burial Guild moved into the Dark City and turned the Frozen Traces map into a Shura-level regional dungeon. According to information from within the Dark City, as long as you kill the final Boss, the Frozen King, you can obtain the guild's right to reside in the Dark City. Now, all the major guilds are frantically trying to攻略 (gōnglüè – strategize and capture) this regional dungeon."

"And many super forces are also eyeing this opportunity. The competition and fighting inside are very intense."

"My idea is to have White Feather temporarily put aside the matter of Lakeside City and gather all of Zero Wing Guild's strength to first deal with Frozen Traces. However, White Feather said that Lakeside City is just starting to improve and she can't leave at all. Currently, I'm only leading some of the guild's main force members, and it's difficult to compete with those super forces."

"Moreover, recently, there have been many dark players in White River City killing players everywhere, making the players in White River City panic. Some players have even chosen to develop in Star-Moon City. In order to suppress these dark players, we have also sent out many experts, which has further reduced my manpower."

Dark City, as the only dark city in the Star-Moon Kingdom, has many privileges that no other NPC city has. One of them is that when a guild reaches a certain reputation in Dark City, it can allow Dark City to establish a teleportation magic array in the guild town, which can directly teleport from Dark City to the guild town, or directly teleport back to Dark City from the guild town. Moreover, as the guild's status increases, the number of town teleportation arrays that can be established will also increase.

Such privileges are absolutely not available in other NPC cities. It not only facilitates the guild, but also accelerates the development of the guild town. Dark City is not far from Star-Moon City, and many players can teleport directly to the remote guild town through Dark City, easily leveling up in the high-level maps near the guild town, without having to travel all the way, treating the guild town as a temporary resting point.

At that time, a large number of free players will definitely flock there, and it will be difficult for the guild town not to develop.

"The right of the guild to reside in Dark City?" Stone Peak realized.

No wonder Sharlyn was so anxious, and even Feng Qianyu had contacted him several times.

If Zero Wing Guild could reside in Dark City and connect the Stone Forest Town with Dark City, it would definitely be a sublimation and qualitative change for Stone Forest Town. Of course, the same is true for other guilds, so it's no wonder so many guilds are going crazy for it, and even super forces want to get involved.

"Guild Leader, I hope that White Feather can put aside the matter of Lakeside City for now. If the Frozen King is killed by other guilds, it will be difficult to reside in Dark City afterward," Sharlyn anxiously advised.

"No, White Feather's people can't be moved." Stone Peak shook his head. "As for your side, give up攻略 (gōnglüè – strategizing and capturing) Frozen Traces for now."

"Give up?" Sharlyn couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Stone Peak say this.

Now that Stone Forest Town had finally become the number one town in the Star-Moon Kingdom, if other guilds succeeded, the status of Stone Forest Town might not be guaranteed.

"That's right, give up攻略 (gōnglüè – strategizing and capturing) the Frozen King for now. Take people and try to攻略 (gōnglüè – strategize and capture) the Frozen Traces team副本 (fùběn – instance) Frozen Hell Fortress first, preferably to get the first clear of Frozen Hell Fortress." Stone Peak nodded.

"Guild Leader, that's a level 50 hundred-man team 副本 (fùběn – instance)..." Sharlyn said speechlessly, "By the time we get the first clear, the Frozen King will probably have been killed long ago."

A level 50 hundred-man team 副本 (fùběn – instance) is a huge challenge for any guild right now, much more difficult than攻略 (gōnglüè – strategizing and capturing) the Frozen King.

The Frozen King, as the final Boss in the regional 副本 (fùběn – instance), is only a level 53 High Lord according to investigations. It's just that the location of the Frozen King is very deep, requiring clearing many monsters and Bosses along the way to reach there, and the environment of the entire Frozen Traces is extremely harsh. Players fighting here consume several times more stamina than in other places, which leads to a very slow攻略 (gōnglüè – strategizing and capturing) progress.

Now, instead of killing the easier-to-攻略 (gōnglüè – strategize and capture) Frozen King, they're going to challenge the more difficult team 副本 (fùběn – instance), which is simply crazy.

"The Frozen King is an ice-type Boss, and it will be very difficult to deal with without high ice resistance. The weapons and equipment dropped by the Frozen Hell Fortress are relatively special, almost all of them are high ice resistance equipment. With these high ice resistance equipment, it will be easier to deal with the Frozen King. Anyway, so many guilds are competing, and it's impossible to determine the winner in a short time. We'll secretly improve our team strength first, and then攻略 (gōnglüè – strategize and capture) the Frozen King later." Stone Peak smiled and didn't say much.

"Okay, I understand. I will攻略 (gōnglüè – strategize and capture) Frozen Hell Fortress as soon as possible." Sharlyn was skeptical about this. She knew that there were a lot of Poseidon's Blessings in the guild warehouse, which could greatly increase magic resistance. However, since Guild Leader Stone Peak had said so, she couldn't object and could only攻略 (gōnglüè – strategize and capture) the 副本 (fùběn – instance) as soon as possible.

Soon after, Sharlyn hung up the communication. Stone Peak could only laugh at Sharlyn's somewhat puzzled expression. He couldn't say too much. After all, no one had攻略 (gōnglüè – strategized and captured) the Frozen King yet. He couldn't possibly say that the ice resistance required to攻略 (gōnglüè – strategize and capture) the Frozen King was at least 300 points.

Such high ice resistance is not enough even with two bottles of Poseidon's Blessing. Other weapons and equipment are also needed to increase ice resistance, otherwise there is no chance at all.

In the previous life, many guilds competed for the right to reside in the guild, and they were all focused on clearing the monsters along the way, spending a lot of manpower and material resources. However, after encountering the Frozen King, people realized that the Frozen King, who seemed to be only a High Lord, was not actually like that. In the end, the entire army of hundreds of thousands of elites was frozen into ice sculptures by the Frozen King, becoming a tragedy in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom.

However, the Heaven's Burial Guild's entry into Dark City made Stone Peak feel a sense of crisis.

In the previous life, it took a full twenty days from the appearance of Dark City to the entry of the first guild. Now, it hasn't been long since Dark City appeared, and the Heaven's Burial Guild has succeeded, which is simply unbelievable. Moreover, being the first to enter Dark City will have some benefits, which will be of great help in increasing the guild's reputation in Dark City.

I'm afraid it won't be long before the Heaven's Burial Guild's guild town can be connected to Dark City.

"No, I have to speed up here."

Stone Peak re-entered God's Domain after two hours of deep sleep.
