Chapter 1661 Dark Players

"What level of mount is that exactly?"

Masked Angel stared wide-eyed at the towering and mighty Demon Flame War Tiger, speechless.

Although she knew about the Zero Wing Guild's Demon Flame War Tiger, seeing it in person was still incredibly shocking.

Both Searing Blood and Qilin had Mysterious-Iron ranked mounts, but a comparison revealed a gulf.

The difference was more than just one rank.

The Demon Flame War Tiger simply standing there exuded considerable pressure, a feeling usually only experienced with Lord ranked monsters.

"Could it be a Fine-Gold ranked mount?"

This question crossed the minds of Masked Angel and the others more than once.

Even the great powers in God's Domain didn't possess Fine-Gold ranked mounts, at most only Secret-Silver.

Aside from the shocking Demon Flame War Tiger, what truly astonished them was Shi Feng's level.

Shi Feng wasn't using the Demon Mask to disguise himself as Black Flame, nor was he concealing his level. A quick glance revealed he was already Level 42, two levels higher than Searing Blood and Qilin.

Such a level was unheard of even in the great empires.

It was hard to imagine a kingdom harboring such an expert.

"I am Nightfall, an honorary elder of Zero Wing. The Guild Leader has urgent matters and cannot come. I can represent Zero Wing. What brings you to Zero Wing?" Shi Feng said with a smile, seated atop the Demon Flame War Tiger, his gaze sweeping over Searing Blood and the others.

Even an Elementalist like Feng Qianyu had only reached Level 39. Two of these six people exceeded Feng Qianyu's level, and the other four were on par. Without special leveling methods or a strong team assisting, this would be impossible.

These people were strangers to Aqua Rose, but very familiar to Shi Feng – almost too familiar.

All six were red-named players from a super guild within the Dark Guilds, belonging to a guild called Dark Crows.

Dark Crows was previously unknown in the virtual gaming world, a new guild established after the launch of God's Domain. Even now, Dark Crows had no reputation.

Dark Guilds typically had fewer members than normal guilds, but Dark Crows was particularly unusual. The entire guild consisted of less than a thousand members, and even after ten years, it never exceeded three thousand.

Yet, no one in God's Domain dared to underestimate Dark Crows.

Because Dark Crows was one of the six great Dark Guilds in God's Domain, its strength was considerable, and even super guilds were reluctant to provoke it.

The six people before him appeared to be normal players, but this was merely a disguise. Only advanced observation skills could detect the abnormalities, and this disguise was very similar to the Demon Mask, even concealing their aura.

However, under Shi Feng's Eye of Omniscient Perception, everything was revealed.

"Such dense bloodthirst. How many players have they killed?"

It was better if Shi Feng hadn't used the Eye of Omniscient Perception. After doing so, the names of the six people before him were no longer blood-red, but a deeper, pitch-black.

In God's Domain, when players actively killed other players, their ID name and bodies would be stained with a faint red aura. This was usually only noticeable after killing hundreds of players, and the aura would gradually fade over time.

The bloodthirst of the six people before him had reached an appalling level, turning into a blood mist directly shrouding them within four or five yards.

He couldn't even estimate how many players the six had to kill to achieve such a thing.

However, that wasn't the reason their ID names had turned pitch-black.

In God's Domain, only players who committed heinous crimes would have their ID names turn so black.

"Heinous crime" wasn't simply killing a few neutral NPCs; it was an unforgivable offense that triggered a curse. This curse could make players stronger, but it also confined them to areas controlled by dark forces. If discovered by NPC guards, the consequences would be severe.

"Hello, I am Searing Blood. This isn't the place to talk. How about we find somewhere more suitable for a chat?" Searing Blood said with a slight smile as he looked at Shi Feng.

"Sure, let's go inside and talk," Shi Feng nodded, leading Searing Blood into the Zero Wing Guild.

As Shi Feng entered the Zero Wing Residence, the crowd outside lining up became even more excited, their desire to join Zero Wing Guild intensified.

Inside Zero Wing's reception room.

Shi Feng was about to serve Searing Blood and the others some tea and snacks, but Searing Blood declined.

"I believe Elder Nightfall has already used advanced observation skills to examine us," Searing Blood said with a smile. "Elder Nightfall probably knows our identities as well. As you can see, we are all red-named players, or rather, dark players."

Shi Feng nodded without concealing anything.

By now, God's Domain had been open for so long that major guilds generally had people who mastered advanced observation skills, so there was nothing to hide.

"We are from the Dark Guild Dark Crows. Perhaps you haven't heard of us, because our Dark Guild was only recently established. As for our strength, you've seen it. We've come to seek cooperation with Zero Wing," Searing Blood explained.

"Cooperation with Zero Wing? How do you want to cooperate?" Shi Feng asked curiously.

Generally, Dark Guilds and normal adventurer guilds didn't interfere with each other, and Dark Crows had significant backing from a major power. The guild itself didn't have many members, so it should be easy to develop, and there was no need to cooperate with other guilds.

"That's right. We've done a lot of research on Zero Wing. On the surface, Zero Wing is full of experts, but in reality, there aren't many true experts. If you want to achieve anything in the Dark Arena, I'm afraid it's simply not enough. You don't even have much of a chance to win the next match, let alone the fact that the various powers have increased their stakes. It will be even harder for Zero Wing to make money in the Dark Arena in the future."

"You've seen our strength. If Dark Crows assists you, you have a good chance of becoming a host in the Dark Arena. At that point, you'll not only earn a massive amount of gold every day, but you can also freely use various rare resources, allowing the Zero Wing Guild to expand at will and cultivate various Lifestyle players and expert players. Don't you think that's great?"

As Searing Blood spoke, he snapped his fingers.

Immediately, several pieces of equipment on Searing Blood and Qilin emitted Epic ranked equipment special effects. In particular, the weapons of Searing Blood and Qilin were both Epic ranked. This gear was indeed at the pinnacle of God's Domain.

"What do you want in return?" Shi Feng asked with interest.

Just as Searing Blood said, in the eyes of ordinary players, Zero Wing Guild had countless experts, but in the Dark Arena, where heroes gathered, Zero Wing appeared very weak. Currently, the only ones who could be considered combat power were him, Fire Dance, and Violet Cloud. Aqua Rose was still a bit lacking.
