Chapter 1 The Red Rain Woodlands

Neutral map, the Red Rain Woodlands.

In the great forest filled with red rain, a team composed of a thousand third-order players was frantically fighting tens of thousands of level 120 or higher Bloodthirsty Manbeasts.

The weakest of these Bloodthirsty Manbeasts were Elite monsters at level 121, while the stronger ones were High Lord ranked at level 126. The battle between the two sides was like a clash of armies.

On the player side, Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights holding shields stood at the forefront, while on the Bloodthirsty Manbeast side, the Ironhide Manbeasts, known for their defense, acted as spears, launching a frenzied charge against the Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights. After one wave of impact, another wave of Ironhide Manbeasts followed, constantly repeating the cycle.

In the distance, the Giant Manbeasts lifted red trees as hard as rocks and threw them at the players one after another, turning the sky a crimson red...

The terrifying scene would make even third-order players accustomed to battle feel a surge of fear, and they dared not fight these monsters head-on.

However, this thousand-player team didn't take the storm-like fierce attacks too seriously.

"They're almost all drawn in. Magic teams, move!"

The leader, a spirited long-haired woman, watched as more and more Bloodthirsty Manbeasts gathered, and immediately gave the order.

Instantly, hundreds of magic-class players standing in the center began to chant complex incantations simultaneously. Each phrase of the incantation made the surrounding magic power become more condensed, more violent, and more powerful.

In less than four seconds, the ground began to shake violently, and huge cracks spread across the surrounding five hundred yards, directly swallowing the Bloodthirsty Manbeasts and instantly collapsing their fierce offensive.

"Swordsmen and Berserkers, clear the way! Rangers and Assassins, prioritize taking down the Manbeast leaders directing the battle!"

The long-haired woman watched the Bloodthirsty Manbeasts, now torn apart, and directly ordered the entire team to split up and begin prioritizing the slaughter of the Bloodthirsty Manbeasts directing the battle.

The long-haired woman, like a demon of the night, instantly appeared behind a High Lord ranked Bloodthirsty Manbeast that was seven or eight meters tall and at level 126.

The long-haired woman waved the dagger in her hand, and it was as if space itself twisted, instantly turning into more than a dozen rays of cold light, directly piercing the heart of this Bloodthirsty High Lord.

Damage numbers exceeding 500,000 points appeared one after another, directly taking away nearly eight million health points from this Bloodthirsty High Lord.

Then, with a turn of her body, as if teleporting, she transformed into the darkness of night, enveloping the surrounding area and devouring the Bloodthirsty High Lord's surroundings. When she solidified again in front of the Bloodthirsty High Lord,

*Tear! Tear! Tear!*

Blood splattered from the Bloodthirsty High Lord's limbs, greatly reducing its mobility. Not only that, but its health was also rapidly draining at a rate of 600,000 to 700,000 per second. The three level 124 Great Lord ranked Bloodthirsty Guardians around it also spurted blood and paused in their movements as if they had been frozen in place...

In just fifteen minutes of battle, this Bloodthirsty High Lord and the three Bloodthirsty Guardians had fallen to the ground, dead as could be.

At this time, the tens of thousands of Bloodthirsty Manbeasts on the battlefield had been mostly cleared out, and the dropped items were scattered all over the ground. However, none of the players who fought went to pick them up. Instead, they advanced in an orderly manner towards the depths of the Red Rain Woodlands, leaving only a few Assassin teams to clean up the battlefield.

A level 119 female Knight suddenly walked to the long-haired woman commanding the team and whispered, "Vice Guild Leader Hanguang, Zero Wing just sent a message saying they are willing to sell information on fourth-order job changes."

"Oh, they're willing to sell it?" Hanguang Shiying was slightly surprised when she heard Yu Bai's words.

In her opinion, the fourth-order job change information was definitely Shi Feng's biggest trump card for gaining the initiative in God's Domain, and he would never sell any information about it.

"They are willing, but the asking price is extremely high." Yu Bai's expression was also very unsightly, and she deliberately used the word "extremely".

"Extremely high?" Hanguang Shiying smiled and said, "How much is it?"

"Five thousand units of Seven Luminaries Crystals," Yu Bai said in a low voice. "It's obvious that Shi Feng doesn't want to sell the fourth-order job change information at all, and just wants to play with us!"

"Five thousand units of Seven Luminaries Crystals, he really dares to ask for that price." Hanguang Shiying also laughed, and then said, "I guess those super forces are going to be very angry with Zero Wing now, and might even resort to force."

"That's for sure. Five thousand units of Seven Luminaries Crystals is simply not something those super forces can afford. If those super forces want it, the only way is to join forces and start a war," Yu Bai nodded.

Five thousand units of Seven Luminaries Crystals was simply treating the super forces as suckers. It would be strange if those super forces were willing.

"Alright, tell Zero Wing," Hanguang Shiying nodded and said with a faint smile, "I'll buy it!"

"Buy it?" Yu Bai's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at Hanguang Shiying in disbelief. She couldn't help but remind her, "Vice Guild Leader, that's five thousand units of Seven Luminaries Crystals!"

Their Illusory Paradise could indeed afford five thousand units of Seven Luminaries Crystals, but it would be a bit of a strain on the entire guild, especially since Seven Luminaries Crystals had always been the resource that the higher-ups specifically requested the most, and it was forbidden to use them recklessly.

"That's right, I'll buy it!" Hanguang Shiying nodded, and suddenly asked Yu Bai, "Do you think Zero Wing is stupid?"

Yu Bai thought for a while and said, "Probably not, but they are too arrogant!"

That's right, Zero Wing's arrogance was simply ingrained in their bones. They didn't take the super forces seriously at all, and they didn't know the meaning of the word death.

"That's good. Since they're not stupid, then they should know the consequences of doing this." Hanguang Shiying also said with some resentment, "Although I really hate Zero Wing, Zero Wing has been able to survive until now, and it's definitely not as simple as you and I think. Even Lord Odin has given up on killing that Shi Feng, which shows his extraordinary nature."

"But that's five thousand units of Seven Luminaries Crystals!" Yu Bai couldn't help but say, "The guild will definitely not agree."

"I also said just now that I'm buying it, not letting the guild buy it." Hanguang Shiying shook her head. "So we don't have to worry about the guild's affairs."

"Vice Guild Leader, if you buy it, then all the Seven Luminaries Crystals you've saved up will be given to Zero Wing," Yu Bai was even more shocked, and quickly said, "In that case, your plan to be promoted to First Vice Guild Leader will probably be postponed indefinitely."

Seven Luminaries Crystals had always been very important to the guild, so Hanguang Shiying had been secretly acquiring Seven Luminaries Crystals in the early days, with the goal of contributing them to the higher-ups in the guild at a critical moment, so that the guild would recognize her value.

But if she lost these Seven Luminaries Crystals, then it would be difficult to handle things later.

"Seven Luminaries Crystals are indeed very important, but advancing to the fourth order is more important now." Hanguang Shiying looked at the endless Red Rainlands in the distance and said very seriously, "Currently, with third-order jobs, there are too few places to explore. Only by becoming a fourth-order job can we truly set foot in those places. So our first priority now is to become a fourth-order job, and then we won't have to worry about not being able to earn back those Seven Luminaries Crystals!"

Shi Feng's exorbitant price made her feel extremely unhappy, and she couldn't wait to kill Shi Feng now and make him die hundreds of times. But currently, Shi Feng was the only one in the entire God's Domain who knew how to advance to the fourth-order job as soon as possible, as well as the specific process of the job change.

Having this information was equivalent to having an absolute advantage.

After all, she had already reached level 120. With the information from Zero Wing, she would definitely be able to advance to the fourth order before everyone else in the guild, and be the first to set foot in those forbidden areas, allowing her to continuously become stronger and eventually become the number one expert of the younger generation in the guild.

"I understand, then I'll go prepare now." Yu Bai looked at Hanguang Shiying, who had made up her mind, and didn't try to dissuade her anymore.

Among the experts of the various super forces, there should already be level 120 existences emerging one after another. If they could take the lead in becoming a fourth-order job, their voice in the guild would be very different.

Of course, Hanguang Shiying was also gambling.

She was gambling that Zero Wing would not lose to the various super forces, and gambling that Zero Wing could survive in this struggle, so that they could gain an absolute leading advantage.

However, Yu Bai didn't understand Hanguang Shiying's madness.

Because in Hanguang Shiying's opinion, regardless of whether Zero Wing could survive, it was enough as long as she could get this slight advantage first.

Orc Empire, Silverwing City.

"It's too hateful! This Zero Wing is simply trying to play with us!"

"That's right, we kindly wanted to buy fourth-order job change information from them, but they wanted to laugh at us for not even being able to pay five thousand units of Seven Luminaries Crystals!"

"Why don't we join forces? As long as we join forces and blockade Zero Wing, I don't believe Zero Wing won't yield."

"That's right, as long as we join forces, Zero Wing has no chance of surviving."

...

For a time, many of the super forces that came to Silverwing City reached private agreements, intending to put pressure on Zero Wing, and began to target all members of Zero Wing, forcing Zero Wing to yield, and finally making Zero Wing obediently hand over the fourth-order job change information.

At the Zero Wing Residence, Shi Feng also received a call from Yuan Tiexin.

"Guild Leader Black Flame, you've gone too far this time. Even if you wanted to sell the fourth-order job change information, wouldn't it have been fine to ask for a thousand units? At that time, many of the super forces would probably be willing to pay, and you could make a lot of money. Why make the super forces hostile to your Zero Wing?" Yuan Tiexin said speechlessly.

Five thousand units was taking the lives of the super forces, but the super forces would still be willing to pay a thousand units of Seven Luminaries Crystals. If there were thirty or so super forces paying, that would be a large sum of Seven Luminaries Crystals.

At that time, they would have earned the Seven Luminaries Crystals, and the super forces wouldn't bother Zero Wing for no reason.

It was completely a win-win situation, but Shi Feng insisted on doing things so drastically.

"Hostile?" Shi Feng laughed. "I didn't plan to be hostile to them. And Elder Yuan, you're wrong about something. It's clearly them who are begging us, Zero Wing, to sell the fourth-order job change information, not that we want to sell it. I gave them a price, and they can't afford it, so how did it become my fault?"

"What you said isn't wrong..." Of course, Yuan Tiexin understood, but the situation was not in their favor, and there was nothing they could do about it. "But those super forces won't think that way. They will definitely join forces to secretly target all members of your Zero Wing. At that time, the members of your Zero Wing will definitely be bathed in blood."

Currently, the super forces may not be able to break through Zero Wing's cities, but arranging people to specifically kill Zero Wing's members would be too easy.

The members of your Zero Wing can't possibly not go to level up, right?

It's also impossible for every member to have top experts protecting them at all times, right?

At that time, a large number of Zero Wing members quitting would only be a matter of time.

As for Zero Wing wanting to kill their way back?

This wasn't as simple as starting a war with a single force. These super forces would all secretly take action, so how would Zero Wing be able to tell which super force was taking action?

And even if these super forces all admitted it, could Shi Feng defeat so many super forces by himself?

Just running around the map would probably exhaust him to death!

That's right, this was the general trend!

The pressure of the general trend was simply not something that individual power could resist.

Shi Feng said very calmly, "Then let them be bathed in blood!"
