Chapter 174 Delaying Time

"This Black Flame is as cunning as a fox. We've been tricked. He didn't want to escape at all, but to lure us here. Everyone, be careful!"

"What's there to fear? They're only a hundred strong at most. We have tens of thousands here. They can't turn the world upside down."

Although everyone realized something was wrong, they couldn't worry about it anymore.

The arrow was already on the string and had to be released.

Shi Feng had obtained too many dropped items. Such a fat sheep would probably never be found again. Even the combined loot of their guilds wasn't as much as what Shi Feng had obtained alone. Even if they had to fight Zero Wing's hundred or so people now, they wouldn't hesitate.

"Hahaha, great! I've just been tagging along in Shady Stream Town, now I can finally get my hands dirty!" Blackie said happily, looking at the approaching crowd.

"Blackie, don't kill too many. Leave some for the others to practice. There aren't many chances for such large-scale battles," Fire Dance said, drawing the dagger from her waist and disappearing with a faint smile.

The others in the group felt speechless.

Everyone in Zero Wing knew there were two great killing gods, Blackie and Fire Dance. If Blackie hadn't had a large-scale magic like Star of Light in the last battle, Fire Dance's kill count would probably have surpassed Blackie's.

"Everyone be careful, those who have survived until now are all powerful," Aqua Rose completely ignored Blackie and Fire Dance. Their attacks were too fierce; others couldn't learn them.

"Don't worry, Aqua, our equipment has improved so much now. We can test how much we've improved on them."

The others laughed.

After the Mechanical Slaughterer died, the magic array protecting Shady Stream Town disappeared. The Bloodhand Society's treasure trove was an eye-opener for everyone. They obtained hundreds of pieces of Mysterious-Iron equipment, as well as a lot of Secret-Silver and Fine-Gold weapons and equipment, which greatly improved everyone's equipment level.

Now, facing tens of thousands of players, although the enemy was numerous, they were completely crushing them in terms of level and equipment, and they also occupied a favorable position. The gate of the Teleportation Hall was only so big; not too many people could rush in at the same time. They had a chance to fight.

At this time, Shi Feng stopped at the entrance of the Teleportation Hall and no longer fled. Instead, he turned to face the major guilds that were chasing after him.

明明一方是上万人，另一方只有上百人，人数相差百倍，可是各大公会冲到了相距50码的地方后都统一停了下来。

"Black Flame, don't think that just because you have these helpers we can't do anything to you. If you hand over all the loot today, we might consider sparing your life. If you don't, today will be the beginning of the end of your myth."

"Hand over the loot, and we'll spare your life. Otherwise, you and your team are finished."

The guild leaders were staring at Shi Feng with bloodshot eyes, wishing they could devour him. They had suffered heavy losses because Shi Feng had guided the Mechanical Slaughterer to slaughter them. Then, Shi Feng's fake death had caused them to fight each other, further reducing their numbers. Now that so many reinforcements had suddenly appeared, no one knew if Shi Feng had any other tricks up his sleeve.

Now Shi Feng had suddenly turned to them with a smile on his face, how could they not be worried? So they stopped and didn't rush up directly.

What if they rashly charged and were tricked again?

So no one dared to be the first to charge.

"Why waste so much time talking nonsense? You've been chasing me for so long, now it's my turn, right?" Shi Feng drew the Abyssal Blade, quietly watching the army of ten thousand with a smile.

Shi Feng's calmness made the major guilds somewhat uncertain.

Anyone facing tens of thousands of enemies, even a top expert, would be nervous to some extent. But they had observed for a long time and didn't see any nervousness on Shi Feng's face.

Did he really have some trick that could allow a hundred people to resist them?

"Brother Chiyu, there's definitely something wrong with this. Why hasn't Black Flame escaped when he's already at the Teleportation Hall and can escape at any time? Instead, he seems to want to fight." Liu Qianqian frowned.

Chiyu also nodded, feeling that something was indeed wrong.

He could have escaped into the safe zone of White River City and been protected by the guards, making it difficult to kill him and seize the loot.

But instead, he slowly changed direction and led everyone to the Teleportation Hall. Why?

"Not good, we've been tricked, Black Flame is trying to buy time!" Chiyu suddenly became anxious and quickly opened the team member display to see if the members in the safe zone of White River City were safe.

"Brother Chiyu, what's wrong?" Liu Qianqian was a little confused.

"Black Flame is diverting the tiger from the mountain. Zero Wing Guild has more than five thousand people, but only a hundred or so have come over. Since he can send a hundred people over, why not send more?" Chiyu explained, "The reason he doesn't send more people over is to send more people to intercept those who are guarding our dropped items. Moreover, they're blocking the Teleportation Hall, so they can attack or defend. As long as the others in Zero Wing seize the items, they can leave."

Chiyu didn't use team chat, and his voice wasn't quiet, so the major guilds heard him clearly. The guild leaders' faces changed instantly, becoming gloomy, almost dripping with water.

So they started contacting the people who had taken the dropped items away.

But the result was that they couldn't be contacted at all. Even using team chat within the same team didn't work. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation.

"It's too late to realize it now," Shi Feng said, shaking his head with a smile as he saw the actions of the major guilds.

Just as Chiyu had guessed, when he rushed towards Dark Star, he had already ordered Zero Wing's army to split up and keep an eye on the escort teams of other guilds. When Shi Feng and the Dark Star members were fighting, Zero Wing's army had also begun to take action.

The major guilds were all focused on Shi Feng, so there weren't many escorts, only a few dozen people, or even just over a dozen. Zero Wing had dispersed each group with a hundred or so people, or even three or four hundred, so they had no worries about taking them down.

Moreover, in order to ensure that these escort members wouldn't be able to contact the major guilds when they were ambushed, Shi Feng had everyone buy a large number of Information Lockdown Scrolls from the magic shops. These scrolls cost 50 silver coins each, which was very expensive. They couldn't defend, attack, or assist players. Moreover, they could only be used on players. Their only function was to prevent players from using the communication system for a certain period of time, preventing them from receiving or sending any information. All they could do was speak normally, so no one had ever been interested in them, but they were perfect for this situation.

Although these escort teams hadn't left the battlefield far, they couldn't contact the major guilds when they were ambushed, so the major guilds couldn't send people to rescue them in time. Facing several times their number, they definitely couldn't protect the loot.

Because it would take time for the guards to arrive, using several times the combat power to kill a few specific players during this time, unless these few people were all top experts, they would definitely die. Even if the guards settled the score afterward, the dropped items would have been taken away by Zero Wing Guild members who hadn't participated in the battle.

At this time, Chiyu's face was ashen. Although he didn't know what means Shi Feng had used to block these people's contact, he could only see that their health was decreasing. However, he could already predict what had happened. After all, blood wouldn't be lost without a fight.

These people must be in a fierce battle.

Chiyu realized for the first time that he had greatly underestimated Shi Feng. He had been completely fooled by Shi Feng's facade as a first-rate expert. Compared to Shi Feng's combat skills, this kind of wisdom was even more terrifying.

明明有这么多的玩家，这么多的公会，付出了那么多的代价，结果却只有是零翼成了最大的受益者或者说是唯一的受益者。

Such wisdom didn't resemble a fledgling little fox at all, but an old fox demon that had lived for who knows how many years.
