Chapter 1629 Golden Holy Trace

The Golden Holy Trace was originally a means to find the Seven Treasures.

A clue to the Seven Treasures had previously appeared in Lake Heart City, but the aura of the Seven Treasures only flashed by before disappearing. Fortunately, the NPC had already been locked.

It's just that the NPC was too strong, so they didn't want to alert the snake.

Shi Feng had been in God's Domain for so long and had been to many places. Only now did he accidentally obtain a clue related to the Seven Treasures. Now, touching the Soul Orb actually triggered the Golden Holy Trace. How could Shi Feng not be excited?

Because of this, Shi Feng planned to give up entering Demon Island and return to White River City first.

Not for any other reason, but because the Soul Orb was guaranteed to drop after a player died. The ruins of Demon Island were already very dangerous, and now, due to the appearance of the Demon God, it might be even more dangerous. It would be a great loss if he accidentally died in the ruins, so returning to White River City took priority.

Afterward, Shi Feng said goodbye to Jun Wuchang and agreed to meet in the Sea of Termination tomorrow.

On Demon Island, the black-clad ranger Chen Xu, who had just arrived, almost had his eyes pop out when he saw Man Qiang personally seeing Shi Feng and the others off.

"Boss Man Qiang, are you just letting them go?" Chen Xu said in disbelief, "We lost a lot of people."

They were demons, and each death resulted in a loss of three levels. The members killed by Shi Feng alone numbered sixty or seventy. If this were known to the higher-ups, they would definitely be severely punished, as it wasn't so easy for players to become demons.

"We can only say our luck was bad," Man Qiang said.

"Could it be that Boss Man Qiang couldn't eliminate them?" Chen Xu asked in surprise.

Man Qiang was a top expert in the Seven Sins Flowers, and the combined strength of his five teammates was stronger than his. Dealing with Shi Feng, who had no burst skills, should not have been a problem. Moreover, Man Qiang had become a titled demon, and his strength was on par with second-tier players of the same level. How could he not be a match?

"Do you know who that top expert you're talking about is?" Man Qiang turned his head and asked.

Chen Xu shook his head. Shi Feng was wearing a black cloak, and all his information was hidden. Judging solely from the swordsman class, it was impossible to determine. After all, there were too many swordsman experts in God's Domain, not to mention many unknown experts among the swordsman experts who had entered God's Domain. How could he possibly guess?

"He is the Ice Eye Assassin!" Man Qiang said with a bitter smile.

"What? He is the one the higher-ups have been looking for?" Chen Xu couldn't help but exclaim.

The Ice Eye Assassin might not matter to ordinary players. After all, ordinary players had no idea how difficult it was to kill a high-level member of a super guild in its headquarters, let alone for one person to accomplish it.

Even the old monsters of the Seven Sins Flowers praised him and wanted to recruit the Ice Eye Assassin into the Seven Sins Flowers.

"No wonder he's so strong!"

Chen Xu thought of the scene where Shi Feng had instantly killed Iron Hammer and the others before and felt that it was indeed possible. Otherwise, how could he have killed a high-level member in the headquarters of a super guild and left safely?

"Alright, go and inform the higher-ups now, saying that I have a way to contact the Ice Eye Assassin. Also, compile all the detailed information about the previous battle and bring it over. As for the matters on Demon Island, we will handle them quickly," Man Qiang immediately instructed.

…

Star-Moon Kingdom, White River City.

After Shi Feng sent away the Free Alliance and returned using a return scroll, he immediately noticed that the atmosphere in the city had become somewhat tense.

"Those red-name players are too arrogant now, daring to attack in NPC towns, causing us to lose all the dropped items that our team worked so hard to get from killing the Boss."

"Your team was too careless. However, since the new expansion pack opened, those dark guilds and red-name players have indeed started to stir. Several teams have already been attacked and suffered heavy losses."

"I really don't know which bastard started this new expansion pack. I heard that such situations have appeared in all the major kingdoms and empires, and many new dark towns and cities have also appeared in these kingdoms and empires, allowing these dark players to exchange for many things inside."

"Exchange for items?"

"That's right. Although the exchange prices are very high, three mithril-grade weapons and equipment can only be exchanged for one mithril-grade weapon and equipment of the same level, the attributes of these exchanged weapons and equipment will be more suitable for oneself. Some players who are not members of dark guilds or red names are also secretly asking people to exchange for them."

"Wouldn't that be great? There are many unusable weapons and equipment in our team. Instead of selling them for money, it's better to exchange them for suitable weapons and equipment."

"Do you think it's that easy? The exchange place is in the only NPC dark city that has newly appeared in the Star-Moon Kingdom, the Eternal Night City. Non-red-name players or players from dark forces cannot enter, and if you want to exchange for higher-level weapons and equipment, you also need enough reputation and meet some conditions. Ordinary red-name players can only exchange for bronze-grade weapons and equipment at most. I heard that you need to become a black-name player to exchange for mithril-grade weapons and equipment."

"It seems that we will have to be careful in the future. Now that these dark guilds and red-name players have such a convenient exchange channel, their actions will definitely become more frequent."

"That's right. Even the NPC towns are a little unsafe now. I don't know what those red-name players exchanged for, but they can isolate the NPCs' detection in a short period of time. Unless the NPC guards are very close, they can't detect it at all."

…

Many wild teams and free players in White River City were discussing the new expansion pack with hatred in the open-air bar in the teleportation hall.

Originally, the range of activities for dark players was not very large. Now, after the new expansion pack, new dark towns have appeared within the jurisdiction of the major NPC cities, and these new dark towns are very powerful. The defending NPCs are at least level 100, which is not something they can move at this stage. This has greatly expanded the range of activities for dark players.

"It's starting so quickly." Shi Feng didn't expect the dark players to act so quickly.

The new expansion pack, the Demon God Disturbance, was good news for dark players. Although it was somewhat unfavorable for normal adventuring players, it was not entirely harmful.

That was the crusade against NPCs!

With the rise of dark forces, many originally hidden dark NPCs would become rampant. Because they were hostile NPCs, normal players could kill them.

As long as these NPCs could be killed, in addition to dropping weapons and equipment like killing a Boss, there was also a chance of dropping Seven Luminaries Crystals.

The Seven Luminaries Crystals were very precious items for both players and NPCs. Some powerful NPCs would collect a lot of Seven Luminaries Crystals themselves, but wild Bosses were different. They would not collect anything at all, so killing these NPCs would allow them to obtain the Seven Luminaries Crystals they had collected.

This was considered the biggest reward for normal players.

After listening to the players' discussions on the street, Shi Feng returned to the Candlelight Firm and carefully took out the Soul Orb alone in the special forging room.

"I hope I won't be disappointed." Shi Feng then activated the ability of the Golden Holy Trace on the Soul Orb.

One was the Detection Skill, and the other was the Omniscient Eye.

The Detection Skill could have a specific sense of the Seven Treasures, and the Omniscient Eye could detect all information, including some things that were not visible on the surface.
