Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 520 Expert Hidden in the Darkness
A hundred-man team from A Smile That Can Captivate a City took turns grinding at the Dragonkin Nest.
In the Giant Dragon Mountain Range, Dragonkin Nests were considered treasure troves, filled with various treasure chests. Each nest was guarded by at least one Boss, usually a Leader rank, with very few Lord rank Bosses. They were perfect for hundred-man elite teams to level up and improve their equipment, making them high-resource areas.
At this moment, the hundred-man team was completely unaware of Shi Feng's slow approach.
However, when Shi Feng got within about 100 yards, he suddenly stopped.
"Why is he here?"
Shi Feng looked at a gaunt man at the very front of the group, tanking for A Smile That Can Captivate a City, and couldn't help but feel surprised.
Shi Feng's equipment and stats far surpassed those of current players. Furthermore, thanks to the super-observation skill, Eye of Omniscient Perception, his vision was naturally superior to ordinary players, and the darkness of the night had little effect.
The gaunt man he saw was none other than Canglang Zhantian, a true top-tier expert he had met a few times. Canglang Zhantian was now a Level 27 Tier 1 Shield Warrior, with a significant change in his equipment. He was covered head to toe in Level 25 Fine-Gold equipment. His HP was nearly 7,000, not much worse than Zero Wing's chief MT, Cola. However, the biggest change was the guild emblem he wore.
Shi Feng had considered recruiting Canglang Zhantian, but Canglang Zhantian disliked being tied down by guilds, so he gave up. But now, not only had he joined a guild, but he had also joined A Smile That Can Captivate a City…
How could Shi Feng not be astonished?
"No wonder A Smile That Can Captivate a City is progressing so quickly in Maple City's dungeon攻略 (gōnglüè, strategies). So he's helping them." Shi Feng suddenly understood. He had seen Canglang Zhantian's skills. Adding that Canglang Zhantian was a Shield Warrior, clearing team dungeons with a Tier 1 Shield Warrior like Canglang Zhantian would inevitably be fast.
However, Shi Feng didn't understand how A Smile That Can Captivate a City had managed to recruit Canglang Zhantian.
In this hundred-man elite team, besides Canglang Zhantian, Shi Feng also saw other experts. These people were obviously different from A Smile That Can Captivate a City's elite members. They had a resolute, decisive, and bloodthirsty aura. Their attacks and dodges were several levels higher, clearly not at the same level.
Several of them had even stepped into the realm of true experts, and would be considered top combat power in any guild. These people's skills were no less than Teng She of the噬身之蛇 (Shì Shēn zhī Shé, Ouroboros), and their combat experience even exceeded the gifted Teng She.
"A Smile That Can Captivate a City is hiding things pretty well. Luckily I discovered this now. If these people slowly build up their momentum in secret, they will definitely pose a considerable threat to Zero Wing in the future." After a short period of observation, Shi Feng discovered seven true experts, plus Canglang Zhantian, making eight in total.
There were as many as eight experts of this caliber. Even Zero Wing didn't have that many.
The seven experts might not be as good as Canglang Zhantian, but they were definitely stronger than Cola and the Five Demon Generals. Perhaps only Fei Ying, one of the Five Demon Generals, could barely approach their level. In a real fight, if Fei Ying didn't have an attribute advantage, he probably wouldn't be a match at all. The only ones who could contend with them were Huo Wu, Shui Se Rose, and Zi Yan Liuyun…
Of course, in terms of growth potential, Cola alone could surpass these people, not to mention Shui Se Rose and Zi Yan Liuyun, who had the potential to become god-ranked.
In God's Domain, every peerless expert who could become god-ranked was an extraordinary existence, far beyond the reach of experts who had only touched the threshold of the Refinement Realm.
Moreover, these people's fighting styles were similar to Canglang Zhantian's, clearly the result of years of training by Canglang Zhantian. Cola, Fei Ying, Huo Wu, and the others were just ordinary people who had been groping their way forward, so they were naturally no match for these people.
"There are countless experts in God's Domain. You really can't afford to underestimate anyone." After seeing these people, Shi Feng suddenly felt that he had been careless.
The world's population was huge, and with the era of universal technological fitness, there were countless talented individuals. Even if he was the guild leader of a second-rate guild in his previous life, the God's Domain he had seen was only a small area. He was like a frog in a well. There were many hidden places in God's Domain that a small figure like him couldn't see.
Like the Canglang Zhantian in front of him, Shi Feng had never even heard of him in his previous life. However, Canglang Zhantian's strength was already so great now. In the future, he might not be able to become a Tier 6 god-ranked expert. And this was just in Star-Moon Kingdom. God's Domain had hundreds of kingdoms and empires. The experts in the kingdoms were the least numerous. Just a glimpse of the leopard in the tube gave an idea of how many experts and secrets he didn't know about in the entire God's Domain.
"It seems that the expert training plan must be accelerated." Shi Feng had always wanted to train Huo Wu and the others so that they could enter the Refinement Realm as soon as possible and become true top experts, but he was too busy and didn't have good enough equipment, so he let Huo Wu and the others study and train on their own first.
Seeing Canglang Zhantian and the others go deep into the Dragonkin Nest, Shi Feng didn't rush to attack. Instead, he secretly followed them, waiting for an opportunity.
It wasn't that Shi Feng couldn't kill these people, but that he wanted to kill all these experts at once, especially Canglang Zhantian. Although Canglang Zhantian wasn't a friend before, he was at least not an enemy. However, now that Canglang Zhantian had joined A Smile That Can Captivate a City, he stood on the opposite side of Zero Wing and naturally couldn't be spared.
However, Shi Feng was alone, while there were hundreds of people on the other side. If these hundreds of people were determined to escape, how could he kill them all alone? Moreover, there were eight top experts, including a tricky character like Canglang Zhantian. Two fists couldn't beat four hands. If he got entangled with Canglang Zhantian for a while, and the other top experts joined forces and attacked Shi Feng at the same time, Shi Feng would be in danger of dying.
That's why he couldn't rush.
A good hunter must first have patience, and secondly, grasp the timing, especially the first sneak attack. Shi Feng was used to ambushing enemies. It was obviously impossible to harvest these people now. The terrain was too wide, with forests everywhere, making it easy to escape and hide. Naturally, he wouldn't rashly rush out and expose himself.
Moreover, he had plenty of time now. It was night in God's Domain, and players' vision wasn't very good. Hiding in the dark made it even harder to be discovered. Furthermore, Shi Feng's level was as high as Level 30, higher than the level of the monsters in the Dragonkin Nest, making it even harder for him to be detected by the monsters. The chances of being discovered were invisibly reduced.
Time passed bit by bit, and Shi Feng continued to follow Canglang Zhantian deep into the Dragonkin Nest.
During this time, Shi Feng wasn't bored. As soon as the cooldown time for Divine Grace was over, he opened Dawn Treasure Chests.
After the Heart of Icarus evolved, his Luck Attribute increased a lot. After activating Divine Grace, it could reach 32 points, which was 7 Luck points more than before. Each time he could open nine treasure chests, and there was a high chance of getting one or two Tier 1 Set Equipment from the nine treasure chests.
After waiting for nearly four hours, Shi Feng had unknowingly collected the Hurricane Set, a Tier 1 set for Swordsmen.
"As expected of a Minor Divine Artifact. I've only opened half of the treasure chests, and I've already collected a Tier 1 set. If I upgrade the Heart of Icarus to Epic rank and open all the Dawn Treasure Chests, I might even be able to collect Tier 1 sets for all the classes." Shi Feng looked excitedly at the brand new Hurricane Set in his bag.
As a Tier 1 set for Swordsmen, it could be said to be the equipment that maximized the combat power of Tier 1 Swordsmen, except for Epic-rank equipment. It was much stronger than the Level 20 Dark-Gold Dragon Claw Set he was wearing, and it was more targeted at the Swordsman class.
