Chapter 1258 Horned Humanoid Monster

"Are they active near Stone Forest Town?" Shi Feng couldn't help but ponder.

In his memory, the Star-Moon Kingdom had never encountered such monsters, and it was his first time seeing anything like them.

If they were aberrant monsters, they wouldn't spare any living creatures, and players would never be able to mingle with them.

However, these horned humanoid monsters were somewhat similar to aberrant types, able to grow stronger by killing monsters and players.

As Blood Fang had said, the monsters weren't much to worry about now.

But as these horned monsters continued to grow, they could become very dangerous.

"Before I had Blood Fiend go and discuss cooperation with you, I secretly investigated that area. According to the information Blood Fiend reported, not only have all the wild Bosses in that area been taken down, but there isn't even a single ordinary monster left. And the same situation has been discovered in the level 60 maps nearby." Blood Fang then sent Shi Feng a few pictures. "These pictures were taken by Blood Fiend in that level 60 map. At the growth rate of these monsters, it probably won't be long before they become a danger to Stone Forest Town, or even NPC towns."

After looking at the photos, Shi Feng could hardly believe it was real.

The once lush forest was now full of sinkholes and scorched earth. A level 63 Great Lord, over thirty meters tall, lay there, its entire body like a mummy, as if all its moisture had been sucked out.

Even more terrifying, ordinary monsters no longer respawned in areas where the horned monsters had appeared. This was equivalent to ruining the entire map. Although it seemed insignificant now, if it continued to spread, the entire Star-Moon Kingdom might not have anywhere for players to level up.

"Thank you for the information, Guild Leader Blood Fang. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave." After reading the photos, Shi Feng frowned and bid farewell to Blood Fang, taking out a Return Scroll and starting to read it.

After Shi Feng disappeared in a flash of white light, Blood Fang turned to the dark guard beside him and instructed, "Tell Blood Fiend to have our people temporarily withdraw from the Star-Moon Kingdom and focus on the Black Dragon Empire next door."

"Guild Leader, business in the Star-Moon Kingdom is good. Having everyone withdraw will reduce our gold coin income significantly, and those monsters are only affecting the Star-Moon City area. There's no need to be so cautious, is there?" The cold-faced dark guard beside him asked in surprise.

"Do you think those monsters are that simple?" Blood Fang glanced at the dark guard beside him. "There's something I didn't tell Zero Wing. Not long ago, the Shadow Assassins I sent out reported that they had discovered those horned monsters. Do you know where they found them?"

The dark guard shook his head.

"It was an NPC town on a level 50 map. Now, the entire town has become a nest for those horned monsters. According to previous information, there were fewer than ten of those horned monsters, but now there are hundreds, and the lowest level is 50, while the higher ones have reached level 80 or higher. At this rate, something will happen to the entire Star-Moon Kingdom sooner or later. It's better to leave early. Don't forget that those who were killed by those monsters haven't been able to log into God's Domain since then." Blood Fang said with a smile, "And I also received news that the Blackwater Consortium guys have decided to start operations in the Star-Moon Kingdom. It's best if we don't have any contact with them right now."

"What? Has the Blackwater Consortium finally moved into God's Domain? But why in the Star-Moon Kingdom?" After hearing about the Blackwater Consortium, the cold face of the dark guard showed a look of horror for the first time.

"I don't know either, but it's probably because of the new class. After all, only the Star-Moon Kingdom is the easiest to cultivate new classes in this God's Domain. Having this batch of new class players will be very beneficial for future development." Blood Fang shook his head. "Among all the major consortia, I hate the Blackwater Consortium the most. They never choose their means and never follow the rules. Next, Zero Wing Guild will have to rely on its own abilities."

…

Not long after Blood Fang gave his instructions, Blood Fiend also left the Star-Moon Kingdom with several hundred Dark Crow members hidden in the Star-Moon Kingdom, heading to the Black Dragon Empire next door to develop. As for Shi Feng himself, he didn't go to Blackwing City to purchase Exorcism Scrolls, but instead came to Star-Moon City.

The Star-Moon City at this time had undergone obvious changes compared to a few days ago. Many of the players coming and going on the streets were from other kingdoms and empires, all hawking weapons and equipment. There were also many non-combat adventure players. These players were generally low-level, some even only level 10 or so, but they were very rich. These people were player merchants.

In the city, it was difficult for players to have their own shops, and there were restrictions on the time for setting up stalls in the free market, making it impossible to sell items at any time. However, selling in the auction house was too expensive for ordinary players, so they generally chose to hawk on the streets. If someone wanted to buy, they could simply trade.

Although this was time-consuming and laborious, it allowed ordinary players to earn some money, especially ordinary players selling weapons and equipment, which was no small amount.

Because of this, players engaged in commerce had the opportunity to make money. They generally ran around in major kingdoms and cities after reaching level 10, buying items from players hawking in the city and then selling them elsewhere. After all, the prices of goods varied in each city and country, allowing them to earn a lot of money.

Because they were professional merchants, the major kingdoms and cities of God's Domain offered certain discounts on teleportation fees. Moreover, merchants, like life occupations, were also divided into levels. The higher the level, the greater the discount on teleportation fees.

Many players had the capital to build shops in an NPC city because of running merchants, otherwise, with the wealth accumulated by ordinary players, they would not be able to afford a piece of land in their entire lives.

Soon, Shi Feng followed the street all the way to the estate of Grand Duke Hartfield.

The NPC guards in front of the estate's gate did not stop Shi Feng after seeing him, allowing Shi Feng to enter the Grand Duke's estate.

Shi Feng came here not for the Dawn Treasure Chest, but for the horned monsters.

Originally, Shi Feng didn't know the origin of those horned monsters, but seeing the information in the photos, as well as what Blood Fang had said, allowed Shi Feng to be certain of one thing.

That was that the horned monsters were related to the Evil God's Temple.

On the continent of God's Domain, the threat to the human race was not only the abyss monsters, but also many other dark forces, among which the most threatening was the Evil God's Temple. Unlike the War God's Temple, which specialized in fighting against the abyss invasion, the Evil God's Temple specialized in destroying the continent of God's Domain, and was purely intent on destroying all life, unlike the abyss monsters, which were possessive.
