Chapter 178 The Terrifying Three-Order NPC

In the secluded and isolated primeval forest, several figures suddenly appeared.

With their arrival, the distant mountain cave collapsed, and a pillar of light shot straight into the sky. The terrifying pressure solidified the air, and an earth-shattering roar echoed throughout the forest for a long time.

Only then did everyone understand how terrifying a level 100 Tier 3 NPC was.

The fact that Shi Feng could withstand such an NPC for so long without being killed was simply monstrous.

This caused Yanqiu, Fengsi, Mingqiang, and the others to sigh inwardly.

They had clearly had the opportunity to improve their relationship with an expert like Shi Feng, and might even have received guidance from him, but they had refused.

"Quick, use your Return Scrolls!" Shi Feng shouted when he saw that everyone was present.

Although Tier 1 Instantaneous Transfer Scrolls were great for escaping, the ones chasing them were level 100 Tier 3 NPCs, who would not let them go easily.

Upon hearing Shi Feng's reminder, everyone took out their Return Scrolls and began casting.

As time passed, everyone became increasingly nervous. If they were caught by the Tier 3 NPC, they wouldn't even be able to escape.

Fortunately, the Tier 1 Scroll transported them a long distance. Even when Gerald emerged from the cave, he didn't immediately find them. After waiting quietly for the Return Scroll to finish casting, Gerald still couldn't find Shi Feng and the others.

White River City Teleportation Hall.

"That was close. I thought I was a goner," Qingzhu said, patting her chest. Even after returning to the city, she was still a little scared.

The power of a level 100 Tier 3 NPC was simply invincible to the current players.

It was the first time she had seen a monster directly crush a player's attack energy. It was easy to imagine how vast the difference between the two sides was.

Fortunately, they had completed the mission.

However, not long after Qingzhu spoke, the system quest notification sounded in everyone's ears.

System: You have been targeted by Gerald. If you fail to hatch the Giant Egg within three days, Gerald will detect your presence whenever you appear in a wilderness map. If you are killed by Gerald, the death penalty will be doubled, and you will suffer weakness for three days.

"There's another quest?" Siyu Qingxuan frowned slightly as she looked at the system notification.

The original quest was to obtain the Giant Egg. Now that the quest had finally been completed, another quest had appeared, and the penalty for failure was quite severe.

If the quest failed, it would mean that they would often face pursuit from a level 100 Tier 3 NPC in the future. However, killing a level 100 Tier 3 NPC was simply impossible for the current players, making it impossible for them to level up in the wilderness.

Yanqiu and the others were also shocked, not expecting that helping someone with a quest would also affect them.

It was the first time they had encountered such a quest.

They had personally witnessed Gerald's power earlier. If they encountered Gerald in the wild, they would have no chance of survival.

"Does the Giant Egg have any information about the hatching conditions?" Shi Feng asked Yanqiu, taking it all in stride.

"Let me see." Hearing this, Yanqiu quickly opened the Giant Egg's data. "It says that hatching the Giant Egg requires a large amount of life energy and that you need to kill Grand Lords above level 40."

"How many do you need to kill?" Shi Feng asked.

"Twenty!" Yanqiu said helplessly.

"Twenty? Are you kidding me? Those are Grand Lords!" Qingzhu said in despair.

Fengsi and Mingqiang also frowned deeply.

Level 40 Grand Lords were no joke. They usually required a hundred-man team of players who were all level 40 and equipped with top-tier equipment, and there couldn't be any mistakes during the battle to have a chance of success.

Even if they gathered such a team, it would usually take most of a day to defeat a Grand Lord, and they would have to sacrifice many people.

To defeat twenty level 40 Grand Lords in just three days was simply impossible.

Moreover, level 40 Grand Lords were not easy to find. They usually only appeared in hundred-man team dungeons. If they were to look for them in the wild, they probably wouldn't be able to find twenty Grand Lords in three days.

But how difficult was it to clear a level 40 hundred-man team dungeon? The major guilds were still challenging the Hard difficulty, not to mention the Hell difficulty.

Even if they used all the power of the Stormwind Spear, it would be impossible to accomplish such a thing in three days.

Just as everyone was despairing, Shi Feng thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it's not that difficult to do. But we need to prepare in advance. You guys wait here for a bit."

With the power of a six-person team, it was certainly impossible to defeat a level 40 Grand Lord, but a twenty-person team could do it.

"No way, you have a solution for this?" Mingqiang looked at Shi Feng with disbelief.

Not only did Mingqiang not believe it, but even Siyu Qingxuan and Qingzhu from the same guild were surprised.

Those were level 40 Grand Lords. Why did it sound like they were just wild monsters in Shi Feng's mouth?

After everyone waited for a while, a cheer erupted in the large teleportation hall.

"Wow, isn't that Fire Dance from the Zero Wing Guild?"

"Look, that's Aqua Rose, the vice-guild leader of Zero Wing!"

…

The players in the entire teleportation hall were stunned when they saw Fire Dance and the others walk in.

These Zero Wing experts were like legends to ordinary players, people from another world. Especially after the battle in Stoneclaw Mountains, everyone knew what a true expert was.

The current core members of Zero Wing had long become objects of worship for the players of White River City, famous figures. How could they not be excited to see them in person?

"No way!" Qingzhu stared blankly at Fire Dance and the others walking over.

These people were all high-level members of Zero Wing, top experts in the Star-Moon Kingdom. Shi Feng had only contacted them, and they had come over.

Even Ziyan Liuyun, who she admired, was there.

She simply couldn't believe it was real.

"Just who is this Ye Feng?" Yanqiu couldn't help but look at Shi Feng.

Fengsi and Mingqiang were also shocked.

They had previously looked down on the experts from their guild, but after seeing these experts from Zero Wing, they suddenly felt like they were just frogs in a well. Each of these people put a great deal of pressure on them.

Especially Fire Dance in the team, the pressure she exerted was like a humanoid Lord monster standing in front of them. Just a glance made them feel cold all over, and their first instinct was to stay away from Fire Dance, the further the better.

And with such a group of people standing together, the pressure was even greater.

It was as if the surrounding space had been frozen, making it very difficult to move.

This was before even fighting. If the two sides were to clash, they were sure that they would never escape these people's grasp.

"Alright, now that everyone is here, we can start the quest." Shi Feng said with a smile.
