Just as Huo Wu and Shui Niu were silently marveling, a low voice came from behind them.
“Why haven’t you left yet?”
The two were startled. They quickly leaped, turned, and scattered, drawing their weapons and staring at the figure that had appeared behind them.
“Brother Ye Feng.”
Huo Wu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw who it was. She sheathed her dagger and tucked it back at her waist.
The Windstorm Canyon was filled with members of the Martial Alliance. If they got into a fight, they would immediately call for reinforcements, making it impossible to kill them all.
“We came to help. The Martial Alliance killed so many of our companions. We must avenge this,” Huo Wu said, her gaze turning cold as she mentioned the Martial Alliance.
“I want to form a large group to run large dungeons in the future. Are you interested in joining?”
Shi Feng thought that Huo Wu’s skills were excellent, and since Huo Wu and her friends hadn’t joined any guild and were free players, if he could recruit them into his team, it would greatly benefit Zero Wing Studio.
“This…” Huo Wu hesitated upon hearing this.
Shui Niu also remained silent.
“Do you already have your own large group?” Shi Feng felt a pang of regret.
After entering White River City, there are many large dungeons, which are the main sources of equipment, materials, and other resources. Free players who want good equipment must run large dungeons. Moreover, to raise a guild’s level, conquering large dungeons is also essential. So to make progress in Divine Realm, raiding large dungeons is a necessary condition.
However, forming a large group capable of running large dungeons is no easy task. Most large dungeons require fifty players, and many even require a hundred. Gathering so many people is extremely difficult, not to mention whether they have sufficient strength. Trust and equipment distribution are also major issues. But elite guild teams and large studios have it much easier.
“No. We don’t have our own large group. The people in our group are mainly in it for fun and don’t think too much about it. Can you give me some time?” Huo Wu explained.
In truth, she also wanted to develop seriously in Divine Realm, but most of the people in her group weren’t very interested in dungeons. They just wanted to play casually. If they joined a large group, they would inevitably face certain restrictions, so they definitely wouldn’t join.
“Alright. It’s still early anyway. Let’s add each other as friends. Once you’ve made up your mind, you can contact me anytime.” Shi Feng knew that this decision couldn’t be made immediately; gaining something always meant losing something else. Besides, he didn’t want to just recruit anyone.
“Okay. As soon as I finish discussing with them, I’ll contact you.” Huo Wu nodded. She felt it was time to make a choice.
Then Shi Feng added Huo Wu as a friend. He then ran deep into Windstorm Canyon to find Hei Zi and Jimo Ruxue.
Along the way, to avoid being caught by the Martial Alliance’s search parties, Shi Feng had to hide in trees and wait for the Martial Alliance members to leave.
With nothing to do, Shi Feng took out the items dropped by the Shadow Panther King to see what good stuff he had gotten.
“This luck is too good. The rewards from a Leader-rank monster are really impressive,” Shi Feng exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the drops.
Among the nine items, there were two Mythril rank weapons, three Iron rank equipment pieces, two rare materials for crafting Mythril rank equipment, a Bronze rank cooking knife, and a Mythril rank accessory.
The two Mythril rank items were a level 8 staff and a level 8 two-handed axe. The Iron rank equipment was also level 8. The Bronze rank cooking knife wasn’t useless either—it could increase the speed and success rate of cooking.
However, the most precious among them was the Mythril rank accessory, Shadow Blessing, which was also the most valuable drop from the Shadow Panther King.
Shadow Blessing, Necklace, Mythril rank, Level 8, All stats +5, Luck +3.
