"Don't disappoint me."

Qi Yitao slowly walked to a dried corpse and took out a dark gray crystal from his backpack. The center of the crystal had a sinister blood-red glow, flickering like an eye, so creepy that it made one's hair stand on end.

Qi Yitao chanted an incantation, and a blood-red mist emerged from the crystal, flowing little by little into the dried corpse.

Before long, the player, who had been a corpse, actually started to move.

As Qi Yitao finished reciting the last line of the incantation, the dried corpse instantly turned into a blood mist, which returned to the crystal in the blink of an eye, and everything returned to calm.

"Damn it, these people are too weak!" Qi Yitao stamped his foot in frustration, then opened the system map and examined it carefully. "It seems I need to go to other places to find experts."

"I remember this is a high-resource map occupied by the Star River Alliance. There should be many experts there. I'll just use you guys as guinea pigs to test my strength."

After speaking, Qi Yitao summoned a two-headed giant wolf, mounted it, and galloped towards the Twilight Hills, not far from the Stone Ape Forest.

...

Storm Empire, the guild residence of Echo of Dusk.

"Tianquan, are you saying that if we don't hand over the town to Zero Wing to manage, Zero Wing won't agree to cooperate with us?"

"This Zero Wing Guild takes itself too seriously! Does Echo of Dusk really need them to protect the town?"

"I said long ago that the Zero Wing Guild is unreliable. Rather than cooperate with Zero Wing, we might as well increase our defense investment in the town. Anyway, there's still some time before the protection period ends, and the area around the mana ore vein is controlled by our Echo of Dusk. Even if Senluo Hall is interested in the mana ore vein, it won't be easy to snatch it from our territory."

"But we can't underestimate Senluo Hall too much. I just received a secret report that Senluo Hall not only absorbed a large number of elite players through this celebration, but also found many powerful free players. And I don't know what methods Senluo Hall used, but many powerful adventurer teams have also joined Senluo Hall. Now, in terms of guild strength, Echo of Dusk and Seventh Street combined are probably no match for Senluo Hall."

"It seems that Senluo Hall is indeed backed by a large consortium. We must be careful."

"Since the situation is already like this, then we will abandon cooperation with Zero Wing and put all our energy into the mana ore vein. As long as we strengthen the town's defenses and add our geographical advantage, even if Senluo Hall wants to make a move, they will have to think twice."

The elders of Echo of Dusk in the conference hall were discussing animatedly.

They would never satisfy Zero Wing Guild's exorbitant demands.

...

Meanwhile, Shi Feng had already arrived at the edge of the Sea of Death on the Swift Dragon speedboat.

The Sea of Death is known to players as a forbidden zone of life, but it is also called the Garden of Eden, because this sea area is full of all kinds of dangers, but also full of opportunities.

Therefore, in his previous life, countless adventure-loving players poured into this sea area, and some of them even used it as a springboard to reach the top.

Even before Shi Feng entered the Sea of Death, he could see the waves churning on the sea and hear the huge roars, which were caused by sea beasts.

"The Sea of Death, which has not been explored, is indeed very dangerous." Shi Feng looked at the waves rising in the distance and couldn't help but click his tongue.

Although he couldn't see the appearance and number of sea beasts clearly, he could tell from the movement on the sea surface that the level and number of sea beasts were considerable. If he ventured over, he would most likely be killed, even if he was on the Swift Dragon speedboat.

Sea beasts are different from monsters on land. Each sea beast has very high health, comparable to three to five times that of monsters of the same level. Coupled with the geographical advantage, even a Lord-ranked sea beast can wipe out a hundred-man elite team. This would be absolutely unbelievable on land, but it is commonplace at sea.

If you encounter more than five sea beasts, this route is basically impassable, because with so many sea beasts gathered together, it means that there must be a Boss-level existence among them.

Being able to become a Boss at sea means at least a Grand Lord level.

This is a difficult existence to deal with even on land, let alone at sea. Without a fleet, you can only detour and run away.

And according to Shi Feng's experience, the number of sea beasts in front of him is at least more than ten...

It cannot be ruled out that there are higher-level Grand Lord sea beasts.

The Swift Dragon speedboat is strong, but it is not enough to fill the teeth of a High Grand Lord.

Just as Shi Feng was driving the Swift Dragon speedboat to detour, he suddenly noticed a fleet heading towards the group of sea beasts, obviously wanting to eliminate them.

To be called a fleet at sea, the number of ships must be at least more than thirty, not including fishing boats.

The fleet that Shi Feng saw had more than a hundred ordinary speedboats, as well as advanced speedboats, and the leading speedboats were bronze-grade.

As the distance got closer, Shi Feng finally saw the fleet clearly through the Swift Dragon speedboat's telescope.

The four leading bronze-grade speedboats were all printed with a water-blue spear pattern. This pattern is also a fleet's logo, and these logos are not just for show, but also have a function.

That is magic array suppression, which is somewhat similar to a magic barrier, but much weaker. Generally, you can only get such a logo after registering as a fleet with the Adventurers Association.

"Freedom Alliance?" Shi Feng was shocked when he saw the Azure Spear mark. "Why are they here?"

The Freedom Alliance is not a guild, but an organization composed of various small guilds and adventurer teams, specializing in absorbing various small guilds and adventurer teams to join. Of course, not all small guilds and adventurer teams are eligible, and they need to meet certain conditions. This way, the power of all the small sea guilds is combined to form a super-powerful force at sea.

In his previous life, the Freedom Alliance was even more powerful than the sea forces formed by some super guilds, and it could be said to be a behemoth at sea.

However, the Freedom Alliance's area of activity is not the Sea of Death, but the Termination Sea, which is very far from the Sea of Death.

The Termination Sea is much larger than the Sea of Death, and it is completely a maritime empire!

Where everything is composed of cities and alliances formed by islands, the gameplay is not as intense as on land, or rather, the competition between players is not as intense, but the living environment is much more dangerous than on land.

Moreover, the players who live in the Termination Sea have been fighting at sea ever since they entered God's Domain, so in terms of sea combat ability, they are much more powerful than the experts of those big guilds.

"Are they going in?" Shi Feng was stunned when he saw the fleet rushing directly towards the sea beasts.
