Chapter 48 Dark Path

The scene of Shi Feng instantly killing Xiong Wanli stunned the remaining members of Wan Gui who were preparing to flee.

Shi Feng’s speed was too fast.

They only saw Xiong Wanli finish speaking about retreating, and then he was lying on the ground. They didn’t know when Shi Feng had stood next to Xiong Wanli, like a god of death.

Monster!

This thought was immediately etched into the hearts of the Wan Gui members. At this time, they understood why Shi Feng looked down on the dark guild Wan Gui so much.

With such strength, even the guild’s three giants were probably no match.

At this time, Hong Yu and Mo Wuyu also looked at the quietly standing Shi Feng in shock. They knew something about how strong Xiong Wanli was. Even if the two of them joined forces, it would take some effort to take down Xiong Wanli, and Xiong Wanli might still run away. But Shi Feng crushed Xiong Wanli like stepping on an ant.

They couldn’t imagine how strong Shi Feng was.

"I originally thought his companions were strong enough, but I didn’t expect him to be even stronger. Fortunately, I agreed to his request back then." Hong Yu thought that she had taken a gold coin from Shi Feng, and now she was a little scared. Fortunately, she hadn’t offended Shi Feng in her words and deeds, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

"So this is a true expert." Mo Wuyu thought of that sword as fast as lightning, and a sense of inexplicable excitement surged in his heart.

In Xingluo City, he was already among the top experts, and there were no more opponents. But seeing Shi Feng's amazing performance, he truly understood what a master was.

A true expert is someone who pushes their body and skills to the limit. There is no waste of strength. It's not just being a little stronger than ordinary players that makes someone an expert.

After Xiong Wanli died, Huo Wu and others quickly killed all the remaining Wan Gui members and obtained some excellent equipment.

Although these Level 25 Dark-Gold and Fine-Gold equipment were useless to Huo Wu and the others, there was a pile of people in the guild scrambling for them, so they were all put into their backpacks and not left for the Hong Yu merchant group.

"Thank you, expert brother, for your help. If it weren't for expert brother's help, our Hong Yu merchant group would have been doomed today." Because Shi Feng hid his name, but the vague appearance in the cloak didn't look young, Hong Yu called Shi Feng expert brother and thanked him repeatedly.

"There's no need to thank me. I'm just doing what a guard should do." Shi Feng shook his hand, turned his gaze to the dead Wan Gui members, and said softly, "This trade route has been targeted by a large guild. In the future, other merchant groups will definitely have to pay tolls to pass through. I don't know what Miss Hong Yu plans to do in the future?"

Dark guilds are more aggressive and domineering than ordinary guilds. They will never give up this financial path because of this failure. They will act like hungry wolves again and again until they achieve their goal. After all, dark guilds have much less gold coin income than normal guilds. If they want to develop, they must do so. This is also the main direction of dark guild advancement.

Moreover, as players' levels continue to increase, trade routes will become more and more prosperous. Collecting tolls is a very profitable business. Controlling several major trade routes is probably more profitable than the current Candlelight Trading Firm. The Wan Gui Guild is even less likely to give up.

A free player merchant group like Hong Yu's merchant group has no security at all. Even with Mo Wuyu in charge, the power that a free expert can exert is ultimately limited. Even Zi Yan Liuyun, who left the Devouring Serpent in her previous life, had her own established studio as a foundation, otherwise she would not have been able to become a Tier 6 God Shepherd.

After being told this by Shi Feng, Hong Yu realized the seriousness of the matter.

No matter how powerful a free merchant group is, it is impossible to stop a large guild.

"If this place doesn't work, then our Hong Yu merchant group can only develop in other cities." Hong Yu couldn't help but sigh. Originally, the Hong Yu merchant group had just started to improve and was starting to get on the right track, but she didn't expect something like this to happen.

"Go to other cities?" Mo Wuyu quickly thought of the key point and shook his head, "Sister Hong Yu, I'm afraid other cities will also have large guilds interfering. It's just a matter of how much the tolls are."

Hong Yu's expression became even more lost when she heard this.

This makes it impossible for free players to survive…

"Miss Hong Yu, if you still want to engage in commercial transportation, I do know a good place. I just don't know if you are interested," Shi Feng said with a smile.

"Please tell me, expert brother," Hong Yu said with interest.

"The Candlelight Trading Firm is recently recruiting some hired merchant groups to transport the Candlelight Trading Firm's goods to other kingdoms and empires. With the backing of the trading firm, you naturally don't have to worry about large guilds robbing you in the future." Shi Feng said his real purpose at this time.

Hong Yu and the others are more familiar with the transportation of goods. As time goes on, the Candlelight Trading Firm will eventually need its own merchant group to transport goods. This not only lays some foundation in advance, but also brings Hong Yu and Mo Wuyu closer.

"Candlelight Trading Firm, is that the trading firm established by the famous Zero Wing Guild in Star-Moon Kingdom?" Hong Yu's breathing became a little rapid.

If the Candlelight Trading Firm really wants to hire merchant groups to transport goods, it would be great for them. They would have an extra layer of protection, The only trouble is that the Candlelight Trading Firm must be given priority when transporting goods, but the Hong Yu merchant group will no longer have to worry about others robbing them in the future.

The Zero Wing Guild is the rising star in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom. Even the first-rate guild Dragon Phoenix Pavilion can't do anything about it, let alone other guilds in the Star-Moon Kingdom.

"Thank you, expert brother, for the reminder. I will go back and prepare." Hong Yu thanked him repeatedly.

Afterwards, Hong Yu had people clean up the battlefield and prepared to go to the Candlelight Trading Firm to try out after transporting this batch of goods.

"Guild Leader, when did the Candlelight Trading Firm start recruiting merchant groups to transport goods? Why didn't you tell me?" Aqua Rose asked strangely.

It is not easy for a merchant group to transport goods. Just from the previous battle, it can be seen that there are many things involved, and it is quite troublesome to deal with.

"It was just decided." Shi Feng smiled.

"…" Aqua Rose was speechless. She couldn't help but look at the departing Hong Yu, and then at Shi Feng. A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she looked at Shi Feng with an expression that said, "I understand."

……

More than half an hour later, the Hong Yu merchant group arrived at the exit of the Soria Great Forest. Shi Feng and others also completed their agreement, bid farewell to Hong Yu and others, and headed towards the depths of the Soria Great Forest.

More than four hours later, Shi Feng and others arrived at a forest next to a small lake.

"Guild Leader, aren't we going to capture guild mounts? Why are we coming to a place where there aren't even any monsters?" Blackie looked around. He waited for a long time, but there were no wild beast monsters around the lake. It didn't look like a place to capture mounts.

Just as Blackie finished speaking, he heard the sound of wings flapping.

Looking towards the source of the sound, a lion with golden wings that was more than twenty meters in size descended from the sky and landed next to the clear lake.

"Great Lord!" Blackie's mouth was wide open after just one glance.

The others were also stunned.
