Chapter 1757 Blood Qi Crystal

"A mere Zero Wing dares to challenge all of our Dark Guilds. They must have a death wish."

"Since they dare to declare war on our Dark Guilds, we have to wipe out Zero Wing, or other guilds will look down on us."

"We were going to deal with Blackwater, but since Zero Wing wants to die, don't blame us for being rude!"

"Unless Zero Wing is completely removed from the Star-Moon Kingdom, our Dark Guilds will never rest!"

Soon after Zero Wing announced its crusade against the Dark Guilds, the higher-ups of the various Dark Guilds quickly responded.

There weren't many Dark Guild members gathered in White River City originally, but after Zero Wing's announcement, batches of players wearing black cloaks to conceal their faces increased, and the number of Zero Wing members attacked in the wilderness of White River City also began to increase.

"Guild Leader, people from the major Dark Guilds are gathering here now. Our guild's teams don't dare to go out casually. Only large groups can be safe. These Dark Guilds are even blatantly waiting outside our guild residence, waiting for our guild members to go out and find a chance to attack." Aqua Rose said with a headache.

She really didn't understand why Shi Feng would do this.

Dealing with just one Dark Guild would be fine, but in reality, a large number of members from more than a dozen Dark Guilds were gathering in White River City, practically turning White River City into their Dark Guild gathering place, but they couldn't do anything about it.

These Red Players could easily deceive the NPC guards by putting on cloaks and using disguise items, disappearing into the wilderness. Even if they were pursued, they would find themselves in an ambush trap set up by these people.

Although many of their core members had killed some Dark Guild players, it was nothing more than a scratch for the Dark Guilds. If they were to be dragged down for a long time, it would be easy for them to be defeated by so many Dark Guilds, not to mention the Blackwater and Underworld guilds eyeing them covetously.

"They're all gathered in White River City?" Shi Feng nodded and smiled, "That's a good thing. It saves us time searching for them."

Aqua Rose was immediately puzzled. Clearly, there were more and more enemies, so how could it be a good thing?

However, Shi Feng didn't explain too much, and simply took Aqua Rose and Fire Dance to the Adventurer's Association.

Dark Guilds were Dark Guilds after all, like rats crossing the street, only able to hide in dark corners. Daring to be so arrogant in an NPC city naturally meant they had to pay a bloody price.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" A beautiful blonde NPC at the front desk looked at Shi Feng and asked.

"Hello, I want to buy Blood Qi Crystals and activate the Advanced Alert Mode for White River City," Shi Feng said.

Aqua Rose and Fire Dance were completely bewildered.

They had never even heard of Blood Qi Crystals or the so-called Advanced Alert Mode.

"Sir, you need to reach Two-Star Adventurer status to be eligible to purchase Blood Qi Crystals, and you need to reach Three-Star Adventurer status to apply for the Adventurer's Association to activate the city's Advanced Alert Mode," the beautiful NPC explained.

"Is this status enough?" Shi Feng smiled and switched his title to Spirit Slayer.

The Spirit Slayer title was a high-level title, enjoying Four-Star treatment at the Adventurer's Association, a status equivalent to a branch vice-president.

"So it's Lord Spirit Slayer. These are Blood Qi Crystals. Because you enjoy Four-Star treatment, you can get a 30% discount, and you only need to pay 700 Gold. As for applying for the city's Advanced Alert Mode, you still need to pay an application fee of 1400 Gold." After the beautiful NPC recognized Shi Feng's title, her gaze immediately became respectful.

"No problem." Shi Feng said, taking out 2,100 Gold.

Both Blood Qi Crystals and the city's Advanced Alert Mode could be said to be the bane of Dark Players, which was why players from the major Dark Guilds in later generations never approached NPC cities.

After using the Blood Qi Crystal, players within a certain range could detect blood qi. As long as a player killed other players or lawful NPCs, their body would be stained with blood qi. It was like a player's Red Name, and it took a considerable amount of time to wash away.

In other words, as long as a Blood Qi Crystal was used, players could easily sense Red Players within a certain range. Moreover, players with Tracking skills could also track Red Players through blood qi. It could be said to be a common item for crusading against Dark Guilds, but players now simply didn't know about it.

However, Blood Qi Crystals were very expensive, and only Two-Star Adventurers could buy and use them. One-Star Adventurers could only buy Blood Qi Detection Stones from the association. Although the effect of Blood Qi Detection Stones was the same as that of Blood Qi Crystals, they could only be used individually, and the detection effect was far inferior to that of Blood Qi Crystals.

As for the city's Advanced Alert Mode, simply put, players in the city could no longer hide their identities by wearing black cloaks, and patrolling NPCs would all carry advanced detection stones, which could detect the aura of dark creatures and the blood qi of Red Players. At the same time, players in the city could not use any teleportation items. The only two ways to leave were through the Teleportation Hall or through the city gates, but both of these places were guarded by high-level NPCs, and Red Players without black cloaks to hide their identities could not pass through.

"Lord Spirit Slayer, your application has been approved for three natural days. The next application will have to wait one week," the beautiful NPC said respectfully.

Just as the beautiful NPC finished speaking, the system announcement for White River City rang out.

White River City System Announcement: This city will temporarily activate Advanced Alert Mode. No teleportation items can be used within the city.

The system announced three times in a row, leaving all the players in White River City at a loss.

"What is Advanced Alert Mode?"

"Did someone trigger a special quest?"

Just as the players in White River City were curious, players wearing black cloaks on the street revealed their true appearances.

"What's going on?"

"Why can't my black cloak hide my appearance?"

The Dark Guild players who were originally stationed outside the Zero Wing residence were immediately terrified.

Without the hiding effect of the black cloak, it would be easy for high-level NPCs to recognize their disguise.

Being caught as a Red Player in an NPC city was a death sentence!

"Guards are coming!"

"It's okay, they're just patrol guards, not high-level NPCs. We just need to be careful on the streets, and we can leave safely when the Advanced Alert Mode ends."

"That's right. Only Advanced Observation skills can see through our disguise skills. Ordinary Observation skills are useless."

Just as the Dark Guild members on the street were still relieved, they saw the patrol guards rushing up from more than 200 yards away, and without saying a word, they began to kill these Dark Guild players.

For a time, battles broke out in various places in White River City, stunning the ordinary players on the streets.

In just a few minutes, all the Dark Guild members in White River City were killed, and not one of them survived. But that wasn't the worst of it. As everyone knew, the punishment for attacking players in White River City was already very severe. Dark Guild members who had killed many players would have to consider changing accounts if they were caught by NPCs in the city...
