Chapter 1 A Change in Baihe City

Star-Moon Kingdom, Baihe City.

Shi Feng walked out of the teleportation hall and suddenly noticed that there were far fewer players on the streets than before. Even the way they looked at him, a player wearing a black cloak and the Zero Wing emblem, was different.

In the past, free players on the street would look at players wearing the Zero Wing emblem with a hint of envy, but now it was more of pity and sympathy.

This made Shi Feng feel very strange.

He didn't understand how such a big change could happen after only being away from Baihe City for a few days…

"What exactly is going on?"

Shi Feng glanced at the crowd on the street. Not only free players, but even members of small guilds passing by looked at him with a hint of mockery, as if the Zero Wing Guild was a thing of the past.

This puzzled Shi Feng. No matter what, the Zero Wing Guild was recognized as the number one guild in the Star-Moon Kingdom. Even if they were in a full-scale war with the Underworld Guild, they shouldn't be looked down upon by members of a small guild in Baihe City. Moreover, he had previously given the Underworld Guild a good beating.

Without the profits from Gu Rock City, the Underworld Guild's development potential and resource income had plummeted, making it impossible to compare with the current Zero Wing Guild.

"He's wearing a Bronze-level Zero Wing emblem. He should be an expert in the Zero Wing Guild. How does he have time to wander around here?"

"He probably knows he can't win, so he ran back. After all, the Underworld Guild is really too powerful this time. They actually have such heaven-defying methods. It's hard for the Zero Wing Guild not to be defeated. Now all the major guilds are in danger. The Underworld Guild has also made it clear that anyone who dares to assist the Zero Wing Guild will die. If members of the Zero Wing Guild leave Zero Wing, they won't be pursued."

"Yeah, who would have thought that Underworld could seal off the entire Stoneclaw Mountain Range, completely isolating it from the outside world? Even using teleport scrolls is impossible, completely trapping the people inside. They can kill them however they want. And there's only one passage to enter, but that passage is easy to enter but difficult to exit. I heard that there are a large number of Fiend armies guarding it, making it impossible for players to send messages to notify the kingdom's army."

"It's been six or seven hours since the Stoneclaw Mountain Range was sealed off. With the strength of the Underworld Guild, they're probably about to take down Stone Forest Town."

"I don't know, but the Zero Wing Guild hasn't sent fewer experts to rescue them, but there's still no news. According to some players who logged off in Stone Forest Town, it seems that the Zero Wing Guild and the Underworld Guild are fighting fiercely inside. Both sides have suffered losses, but the Zero Wing Guild members have always been unable to break through the entrance of the passage. On the contrary, there are more and more people from the Underworld Guild, even Fiends."

"This method is really awesome. If the news can't be sent out from inside, the kingdom's army can't be mobilized to assist. Going in from the outside is just sending them to their deaths. If the Underworld Guild wants to, they can completely kill the enemy as many times as they want inside the sealed space. There's no escape, unless they log off, but this will not only be punished, but the Stone Forest Town inside will also be gone."

…

The players sitting and resting on the street discussed Shi Feng, admiring the methods of the Underworld Guild. Although the Zero Wing Guild was already very powerful, the Underworld Guild was still one step ahead. With such methods, who would dare not submit in the Star-Moon Kingdom?

If they didn't submit, they would be truly wiped out, and it was possible to be killed back to level zero, after all, they couldn't leave the sealed space inside.

"Sealed off the Stoneclaw Mountain Range?" Shi Feng couldn't help but be surprised.

He had seen map sealing before, but it was very difficult to achieve complete isolation. At least he had no way to do it now.

In his previous life, this method was generally used by super forces to target a peak expert or a big city. Otherwise, with the strength of a peak expert, even if they couldn't win, they would always find a way to escape. Not to mention dealing with big cities, the city defenses were already very high, and if there were constant reinforcements or allies supporting them, it would be impossible to capture them without overwhelming power.

Thinking of this, Shi Feng turned around and walked into the teleportation hall without saying a word, directly teleporting to Star-Moon City to rush to Stone Forest Town.

Inside the Stoneclaw Mountain Range, which stretched for miles, the entire sky had turned gray, and evil energy enveloped the entire seal. Even if players did nothing, they felt their stamina and mental strength constantly being consumed, and their minds became a little dull.

On the contrary, the Fiends here were like fish in water. Whether it was their actions or intelligence, they had been improved to a certain extent, and even their basic attributes had been slightly improved.

On the city wall of Stone Forest Town, Water Rose looked at the increasingly large army of players and Fiends outside the city wall like ants, her face unspeakably gloomy.

"Guild Leader Water Rose, according to the reports from the scouts we sent ahead, another large army of players has arrived from the entrance of the seal. It looks like people from the Blackwater Guild, with a number of about 20,000, including more than 6,000 expert players above level 49. They also brought eight siege weapon catapults." At this time, a level 50 ranger in blue clothes walked over and whispered.

"Six thousand experts plus eight catapults?" Water Rose's face became even more solemn when she heard this.

There were only 100,000 Zero Wing members guarding Stone Forest Town, most of whom she had brought to rescue Stone Forest Town.

And the Underworld Guild members who had gathered numbered more than 300,000. Although there were only about 160,000 to 170,000 elite players, the remaining players could not be underestimated either. At least they were all players above level 45.

Not to mention the large number of Fiends behind the Underworld Guild. It was estimated that there were 100,000, and the number was still increasing. It was just that their levels and strength were relatively weak, generally around level 45, and some were even elite-level. However, these Fiends were constantly killing and devouring the monsters in the Stoneclaw Mountain Range, and their strength was also getting stronger and stronger.

Now the Underworld Guild had not launched an attack on Stone Forest Town, entirely because they were accumulating strength.

Although she had led many experts to launch several attacks towards the passage, wanting people to send the news out so that the kingdom's army could be notified to wipe out the Fiend army, she had been blocked by the guarding Fiend army and the Underworld Guild after several attacks in a row.

The Fiends guarding the exit passage were too powerful. Among them, there was also a Legendary-ranked Fiend. Even Fire Dance, who had the most hope of rushing out, was killed in a few hits, without any resistance at all…

Now, with the addition of 6,000 experts and eight catapults sent by the Blackwater Guild, the Underworld Guild's ability to siege the city had undoubtedly been further improved.

Although she now couldn't wait to rush out and destroy the eight catapults brought by the Blackwater Guild, they would definitely be attacked by the Fiend army as soon as they left Stone Forest Town. At that time, they would become food for the Fiend army to grow, allowing the Underworld Guild to better capture Stone Forest Town.

"Hahaha, Guild Leader Water Rose, I advise you to give up. I'm determined to take this Stone Forest Town, and not only Stone Forest Town, but also Zero Wing City will be in my hands. I advise you not to make a mistake. If you wait until my Fiend army rushes in, you'll be miserable. Moreover, you can't leave the Stoneclaw Mountain Range here. You'll only be killed again and again. It's better to surrender and leave the Zero Wing Guild." Yi Xiao Du Zang looked at Water Rose on the city wall and loudly persuaded her through the loudspeaker, "I won't hide it from you. At this time, the Blackwater Guild's army and a new batch of Fiend armies are already on their way. When they arrive, even the King of Heaven can't save you!"

The faces of the people in Stone Forest Town were gloomy and silent when they heard Yi Xiao Du Zang's words.

"Are we just finished like this?"

Because everything was as Yi Xiao Du Zang said, all they could do was wait for death…

Just at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky, and a low voice echoed throughout Stone Forest Town and the Underworld Guild's army, deeply imprinted in their minds.

"Is that so?"
