Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 423 The Final Cave
The red-haired beauty couldn't help but scrutinize Shi Feng, even using an Observation skill.
Aside from reaching level 22, Shi Feng's ID and equipment revealed no information, making him a little mysterious.
The red-haired beauty's companions also looked at Shi Feng, seeking confirmation.
An individual piece of the Battlefire Set was being offered for 10 gold, much higher than other offers. Assembling a full set and selling it to Shi Feng for 180 gold would make them rich.
"Of course. We can add each other as friends. Just contact me if you get any pieces of the Battlefire Set," Shi Feng said with a smile.
He was joking. The Battlefire Set was a guaranteed investment at 180 gold.
Fine-Gold ranked sets only dropped in the level 20 fifty-man large-scale team dungeons on Hell mode. Dark-Gold ranked sets only dropped in hundred-man Hell mode large-scale dungeons, and even then, they were extremely difficult to complete.
Speaking of the Battlefire Set, Shi Feng recalled several good spots to farm the set.
Not because the drop rate was higher, but simply because there were more Battle Monkeys, increasing the chances of a drop.
Shi Feng wanted to farm a few sets right away, but these locations required a sufficiently strong team. Zero Wing's current five-hundred-member team wasn't enough; at least five hundred Tier 1 players were needed.
For now, Shi Feng could only mine Starlight Ore in the inner region of White Mist Canyon.
"Great! My name is Lan Shuyun. I'll definitely contact you if we get any Battlefire Set pieces." Lan Shuyun cheerfully sent Shi Feng a friend request.
Shi Feng accepted it immediately.
"Black Flame, huh? Okay, I'll remember." Lan Shuyun looked at the new addition to her friend list, a friend named Black Flame, and nodded. "I'll be sure to contact you first when we get equipment. Don't refuse then."
Shi Feng smiled wryly and headed towards First Line Gorge, contacting Aqua Rose.
"Guild Leader, you're finally online! I have big news to tell you," Aqua Rose said, laughing.
"You're talking about the large number of foreign players in White Mist Canyon, right? I already know. Where are you now? I didn't see you at First Line Gorge. How's the team?" Shi Feng noticed the absence of players in First Line Gorge, feeling a little worried.
"We don't even know where we are. We were farming monsters at First Line Gorge when suddenly, over a dozen Flame Guardians appeared from the inner region of White Mist Canyon. These Flame Guardians are all level 28 Lords, and their Flame Domain is too powerful. With the Crimson-Eyed War Monkeys surrounding us, we had no choice but to retreat deep into White Mist Canyon."
"Luckily, we managed to retreat to a place called the Cave of Ending. The Flame Guardians are too big to enter, but they're guarding the entrance, so we can't get out..."
"Cave of Ending? Where is that cave?" Shi Feng asked, surprised.
He was very familiar with White Mist Canyon but had never heard of a place called the Cave of Ending.
"We don't know. It doesn't show up on the system map. But the cave is very big and deep, with a lot of monsters inside. Fortunately, there aren't any Lord-ranked monsters, so we can barely handle them." Aqua Rose didn't know their exact location, as they were focused on escaping.
"Add me to the team. Don't go any deeper. I'm coming over now." Shi Feng frowned slightly and said quickly.
White Mist Canyon had many dangerous areas, and Aqua Rose might have stumbled into one.
In God's Domain, dangerous areas were forbidden to players. Like the Coldwater Pond in the Realm of Origin Sword, they would surely die without the right methods!
After sending a team invite, Aqua Rose reminded him, "Guild Leader, be careful. There are over a dozen Flame Guardians guarding the entrance."
"Okay, I understand," Shi Feng replied.
After joining the team, Shi Feng immediately activated the team tracking mode.
In tracking mode, Shi Feng could find the footprints of a specific team member, allowing him to reunite with the team.
"The Stone Forest to the south?"
Shi Feng could vaguely see glowing footprints on the rocky ground, left by Aqua Rose.
The Stone Forest in the inner region of White Mist Canyon was intricate and chaotic, making it easy to get lost even with a map. However, the narrow paths of the Stone Forest were suitable for evading the Flame Guardians.
Shi Feng carefully avoided high-level monsters, quickly following the footprints.
However, after chasing for more than ten minutes, the footprints suddenly disappeared as if the person had vanished, leaving him completely puzzled.
"How could they disappear?"
Shi Feng looked at the empty space in front of him in surprise. There were no caves nearby, let alone a dozen huge Flame Guardians.
Shi Feng wandered around, but he couldn't find any more footprints. The footprints simply ended in the open space.
"Could it be a barrier?" After thinking for a long time, Shi Feng could only think of that possibility.
Barriers in God's Domain came in many forms, some trapping people, some killing people, and some hiding residences.
However, entering a barrier required meeting certain conditions.
Aqua Rose and the others met the conditions, allowing them to enter the barrier, but Shi Feng did not, preventing him from entering.
This was what troubled Shi Feng...
Five hundred people fled here. Who knew what they triggered to allow everyone to enter?
Who knew what the conditions for entering were?
"I wonder if the Eye of All-Seeing will work." Shi Feng walked to the spot where the footprints disappeared and activated the Eye of All-Seeing.
The Eye of All-Seeing could detect all information within a 100-yard radius, hiding nothing.
As soon as Shi Feng activated the Eye of All-Seeing, the scene before him shocked him.
Right in front of him was a light-blue wall, and inside the wall were over a dozen Flame Guardians pacing outside a cave entrance. Their huge bodies couldn't fit inside, but it wasn't easy for players to enter either.
Flame Guardian, Lord rank, level 28, 700,000 HP.
These Flame Guardians were in a berserk state, making them much stronger than ordinary Lord-ranked monsters. A single one could easily wipe out a hundred-man team, and a dozen of them together would be suicide even for thousands of elite players.
Shi Feng was still thinking about how to break the barrier and enter when the Flame Guardians at the entrance seemed to sense Shi Feng's gaze. They turned their heads to look at Shi Feng, letting out low roars as they summoned blazing flames in their hands, turning them into flaming warhammers, each capable of crushing players into ash.
"You've got to be kidding me."
Shi Feng looked in shock at the Flame Guardians charging towards him, each filled with murderous intent.
Without another word, Shi Feng turned and ran.
Before Shi Feng could get far, the light-blue barrier wall was shattered by the Flame Guardians with a single blow, and they charged out of the barrier.
