With the total annihilation of the Divine Miracle Guild on Garna Island, the Abyssal monsters that had been circling overhead dispersed one after another, spreading out in all directions.
Shi Feng was more than happy to see this.
While it was troublesome for players developing in the Sea of Death, it was a good thing for him. After all, with Abyssal monsters present, no one would dare come to Garna Island.
However, the Abyssal passage he had opened was ultimately just a small-scale one. Unlike in the Twin Tower Kingdom, where a medium-scale passage had been opened, its influence was ultimately limited.
In the Divine Realm, it wasn't easy for these Abyssal monsters to move around freely. The suppressive force of the world pressed down upon them—the farther they strayed from the Abyssal passage, the more severe the suppression became. The range a small-scale passage could affect was quite limited.
Moreover, he could only use this method once.
The Ancient Abyss Book came with two Abyssal passage openings upon acquisition—one medium-scale and one small-scale. Previously, the Devil's Dungeon had already opened a medium-scale passage to deal with the Unfalling Light of the Twin Tower Kingdom. Now the remaining small-scale passage had been used by him as well. If he wanted to use it again in the future, sufficient sacrifices would be required.
Opening a small-scale passage required fifty thousand players. A medium-scale passage required three hundred thousand. A large-scale passage required one million. Capturing that many players for sacrifice was an extremely difficult task.
It would be fine as long as they weren't discovered, but once players found evidence of what had happened, the consequences would be dire.
After watching the Abyssal monsters disperse, Shi Feng turned his attention to the field of dropped items and began sorting through them.
Meanwhile, in the Sea of Death, at the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion's temporary base on Thunder Island.
"Qianyu, I've already notified all our fleets within the Sea of Death. While we can't command the fleets under the Nine Dragons Emperor's banner, there are currently three fleets that should be able to reach Garna Island within half an hour," Qinghuang reported.
From the moment they had discovered Divine Miracle heading to Garna Island, they had begun mobilizing their forces. However, Garna Island was located in an extremely dangerous zone deep within the Sea of Death. Under normal circumstances, the major superpowers based on Thunder Island didn't operate much in that area, and they were all stationed far apart.
Even having the nearest fleet rush over would still take considerable time.
"Half an hour? I hope we can make it in time." Feng Qianyu nodded.
Half an hour wasn't particularly long, but it wasn't short either. If Zero Wing had been too impulsive, with Divine Miracle's army of thirty thousand, wiping them out would have been far too easy. But if Zero Wing chose to run and hide, they might have been able to hold out for half an hour.
"I really can't figure out what Zero Wing was thinking. Knowing full well that Divine Miracle had dispatched an army of thirty thousand, they insisted on fighting them head-on. And look at them now." Qinghuang was utterly speechless at Shi Feng's actions.
She felt that Zero Wing had fought too many first-rate guilds and was treating Divine Miracle like any other first-rate guild.
Five hundred players, that was all. Even if it was Zero Wing's main force, that was still facing Divine Miracle's army of thirty thousand—and that was no comparison to a first-rate guild's thirty thousand. Five hundred people wasn't even enough to fill Divine Miracle's teeth.
Just as Feng Qianyu and Qinghuang were discussing Garna Island, the office door suddenly swung open, and two people walked in.
As the two entered the office, Qinghuang's expression darkened slightly.
"Qianyu, it's been a while. Seems like you've made quite a fortune in the Sea of Death—you've even swapped out several pieces of your equipment." The Nine Dragons Emperor walked in and greeted Feng Qianyu with a smile.
"Nine Dragons Emperor, what are you doing here?" Feng Qianyu looked at the grinning Nine Dragons Emperor with displeasure.
This time she had been ambushed on Barbarian God Island, and it was largely connected to the Nine Dragons Emperor. If not for the lack of hard evidence, she would have reported him to the Grand Pavilion Master long ago.
