Chapter 1 Assembling

Outside the underground arena of Yanlong City, a large number of luxury carriages and high-end mounts were parked in front of the gate.

Hundreds of members of the garrison regiment, clad in black armor, were orderly checking invitations.

"Isn't that the guild leader of the Silver Knights, a first-rate guild?"

"What kind of mount is that? It's so huge!"

"Damn! Epic-level halo effect!"

"This Dark Arena competition is too awesome! Which teams are competing? How can it attract so many people!"

…

Whether they were free players visiting from the Yanlong Imperial Capital or guild members participating in the Dark Arena, they were all shocked by the scene before them.

High-end mounts, which are usually hard to see in the Yanlong Imperial Capital, were everywhere now. There were warhorses, cheetahs, tigers, lions, kodos, war wolves, and so on. The variety was dazzling.

In addition to high-end mounts, high-level members of large guilds, who are usually never seen, also appeared here.

However, the most discussed topic was still weapons and equipment.

In God's Domain, dark-gold weapons and equipment are already considered divine artifacts for ordinary players. However, in this gathering place of high-level members of large guilds, dark-gold weapons and equipment were nothing special. Only epic items could attract people.

The reason why so many high-level guild members were attracted was entirely because the first auction of the Dark Arena was to be held today. This made large guilds, who were not very interested in the competition, want to see what good things would be sold at the auction. After all, this was an auction jointly held by several major organizers, and it would be very embarrassing if the items sold were bad.

Moreover, the Dark Arena also advertised that epic-level items would be sold.

Even in first-rate guilds, there were only a few epic-level items. Some even had only one or two, which were regarded as the treasures of the guild, used to attract new players and free players entering God's Domain. If first-rate guilds were like this, let alone other guilds.

In addition to super guilds and top-tier guilds, the guilds invited by the Dark Arena were mostly first-rate guilds, as well as a very small number of second-rate guilds, well-known adventure teams in God's Domain, and well-known top-tier free experts in God's Domain.

With an invitation, one could bring other people into the venue.

Many high-level members of large guilds who did not receive invitations came in with people from first-rate guilds.

Therefore, many large guilds came to the Dark Arena. For these large guilds without epic-level items, they were all waiting to buy one as a treasure for their guild.

In this crowd of experts, a six-person team suddenly appeared, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Wow, which guild are those people from? Everyone is equipped with epic-level items, which is even more awesome than the guild leader of a first-rate guild!"

"No, they shouldn't be guild members. Look, they don't have any guild emblems."

Everyone looked at this six-person team and exclaimed in amazement. Even many high-level members of first-rate guilds were very curious about the identities of these people.

Not only did each member of this six-person team have epic-level items, but their levels were also shockingly high.

All of them were level 43!

This level, placed in the Fire Dragon Empire, one of the four empires of God's Domain, would definitely be among the top ten. This was because the first and second players on the level rankings in the Fire Dragon Empire were also level 43. Even if some people didn't want to attract attention and hid their rankings, the number would definitely not exceed five or six people.

Now that six people were all level 43, they could naturally be ranked among the top ten on the Fire Dragon Empire's level rankings.

"Sister Weiyang, many people are looking at us. Should we cover up with black cloaks?" Yun Zhongsha always felt that they were too eye-catching in the crowd, and might attract the attention of some people with ulterior motives, after all, epic-level items were too conspicuous.

"No need, we're here to build some reputation for Midnight Tea Party, so that it will be easier to find people who can trade with us." Weiyang Qianhen completely ignored the fiery gazes of the crowd and directly led everyone into the Dark Arena.

She had three purposes for coming here. The first was to watch the match between Zero Wing and Miracle, the second was the auction, and the third was to find some powerful forces qualified to trade.

Obviously, these guild players at the gate did not meet her requirements.

There were too many people entering the Dark Arena, so they were divided into two channels. One was a VIP channel prepared for super forces, and the other was an ordinary channel prepared for large guilds.

There were originally few people from super forces, so they entered without queuing. The ordinary channel prepared for large guilds had a large number of people, and everyone had to wait slowly in line to enter.

In Weiyang Qianhen's eyes, these large guilds queuing up did not have the qualifications to trade with her. The main reason was that they did not have the strength to trade, so naturally she would not waste time and directly led the members of Midnight Tea Party through the VIP channel to enter the venue.

This made the high-level members of the large guilds who originally wanted to make friends smile bitterly. As for those who wanted to take advantage of the epic-level items, they directly gave up the idea.

People who could enter the VIP channel, regardless of whether they were free players or not, definitely had a good relationship with those super guilds in God's Domain, otherwise they would not have received a VIP invitation.

…

In a VIP box on the third floor of the underground arena, Qi Yitao sat in front of the window, quietly watching the odds displayed in the arena outside the window, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"Hahaha, great, this time, as long as the Evil Flood Dragon battle team wins completely, all the previous losses of the Blackwater Guild can be recovered with interest!" Qi Yitao laughed excitedly.

Although some people knew that the Evil Flood Dragon battle team had the support of the Miracle Guild, which caused the odds of the Evil Flood Dragon battle team to drop a lot, from one to three to one to one point five, the odds of a complete victory increased to one to eight, which was higher than the previous one to seven.

"Guild leader, Miss Ling Jingxuan has arrived at the venue, do we need to meet her?" Zui Xiaoke walked into the room and reported softly.

"You can greet her for me. If possible, it would be best to borrow some precious materials from her. Just say that I will pay her back three times the amount when the time comes." Qi Yitao thought for a while and ordered.

He didn't pay much attention to Ling Jingxuan. After all, Ling Jingxuan didn't have power in the Blackwater Consortium, so there was no need to curry favor with her. However, Ling Jingxuan's status was very high, so he had to deal with her a little bit.

"I understand." Zui Xiaoke bowed and left.

…

In another VIP box in the underground arena, Feng Qianyu looked at Shi Feng and others sitting under the competition arena, her eyebrows furrowed.

"It's really only five people!" Feng Qianyu couldn't believe her eyes. "What exactly does the Zero Wing Guild want to do?"

She didn't understand what Shi Feng was doing at all.

Was he provoking the Evil Flood Dragon battle team?

Or was he trying to preserve his strength?

Although some teams had done this before, they were super-strong teams with absolute confidence, who felt that there was no need to expose the other members of the team, so they didn't show up. But what kind of team was the Evil Flood Dragon battle team? It was a team strongly supported by the Miracle Guild. Its strength was much stronger than the previous Glorious Lion battle team.

However, it was too late to say anything now.

Because the number of people on the competition list had been determined, and it was impossible to change it now. Moreover, the first match had already started. The most ridiculous thing was that the first Shura battle team member to appear was Banxia Qingcheng, whom she had only met once, without any relevant information or any achievements.

…

"This Feng Qianyu is really interesting. She quickly realized the gap between us, so she deliberately asked the Shura battle team to give up?" Qianli Wuya smiled disdainfully. "It's a pity that it's already over. Sanyue, you go too. By the way, tell Jiuxiao and the others to play with the Shura battle team, so that they know the profound gap in strength."

"Yes!" A trace of excitement appeared in Chenji Sanyue's eyes.
