Iron Hand's words caused Longyou Tianxia's expression to darken slightly.
"Iron Hand, you'd better not cause trouble. Our Dragon Riders Adventure Team is affiliated with Aether Blade!" Longyou Tianxia warned.
The Shield Warrior before him, Iron Hand, was not much of a threat on his own—merely an expert who had just reached the realm of Intent. However, standing behind Iron Hand was the Nine Serpents Adventure Team.
Dragon Heart Island was a place where all manner of people converged. Besides the superpowers and first-rate guilds, the various adventure teams occupied half the stage. On Dragon Heart Island alone, there were ten major adventure teams, all of tremendous strength, backed by powerful conglomerates. They followed an elite-focused approach, recruiting large numbers of formidable experts, making their overall power far surpass even those first-rate guilds.
The Nine Serpents Adventure Team was one of those ten major teams on Dragon Heart Island.
Because of this, the members of the Nine Serpents Adventure Team almost all conducted themselves in an overbearing manner. The major adventure teams and the free players developing on Dragon Heart Island did their utmost to avoid these people, terrified of attracting trouble.
The Sea of Death was nothing like the mainland. Competition here was not only fiercely intense, but death was also far more terrifying than on land. On the mainland, when a player died, they simply died. But at sea, death meant the destruction of one's ship and the loss of everything. Ships were the capital for survival on the sea—without a ship, one could do nothing.
Of course, their Dragon Riders Adventure Team, as a well-known team, had also caught the eye of several powerful adventure teams and could pledge allegiance to them for protection. Their Dragon Riders Adventure Team was one that had allied itself with the Aether Blade Adventure Team.
The Aether Blade Adventure Team was likewise one of the ten major adventure teams on Dragon Heart Island.
"Oh? Aether Blade is all that impressive?" Iron Hand sneered. "Do you know who this expert beside me is? I'll tell you—this is the new captain of the Blood War Adventure Team, Can Guang Ruxue!"
"He's that genius from the Blood War Adventure Team?" Longyou Tianxia looked at the slightly self-satisfied Level 79 young Berserker, his expression growing somewhat grave.
The name Can Guang Ruxue was one that virtually every major adventure team on Dragon Heart Island knew.
Not for any other reason than the fact that Can Guang Ruxue, at not even twenty-two years of age, had become the captain of the Blood War Adventure Team—a matter that had sparked considerable discussion at the time.
The Blood War Adventure Team, like the Nine Serpents and Aether Blade, was one of the ten major adventure teams on Dragon Heart Island.
However, the Blood War Adventure Team ranked among the top three. Its strength was simply beyond what the Nine Serpents or Aether Blade could compare to—one could say that combining the two would still fall short of the Blood War's power.
The Blood War was so powerful it could be considered a half-superpower, and any expert who could serve as its captain was someone whose strength rivaled that of the absolute peak.
"That's right. We're in a hurry, so we don't have time to waste on nonsense with you," Iron Hand said, casting a impatient glance at Longyou Tianxia before turning his gaze to Shi Feng and the others. "I haven't seen you before. You must be Longyou Tianxia's friends. I'll cut to the chase—hand over two of your tickets. If you run into any trouble on Dragon Heart Island in the future, you can drop our name."
After all, Longyou Tianxia was the captain of an adventure team affiliated with Aether Blade, so Iron Hand couldn't simply snatch the tickets from him. But people outside of Longyou Tianxia's circle were fair game.
The players watching from the surrounding area couldn't help but look at Shi Feng and the others with envy when they heard Iron Hand's proposal.
Setting aside Can Guang Ruxue's reputation, Iron Hand's name alone was worth the price of the tickets. The Sea of Death was nothing like the mainland—player-vs-player battles were frequent, and without a certain level of strength, one simply could not survive here. Having big-shot backers like Iron Hand and Can Guang Ruxue watching over you would make life on Dragon Heart Island considerably easier.
It was simply that such an arrangement was a bit embarrassing in terms of face.
Longyou Tianxia, standing nearby, could say nothing about this. Iron Hand was one thing, but someone like Can Guang Ruxue was not someone he could afford to offend. If he angered such a person, even though the Dragon Riders Adventure Team was affiliated with Aether Blade, it was far from certain that Aether Blade would step in to protect them.
However, Qinyin and the others were his friends, and he naturally could not allow them to hand over their tickets.
Just as Longyou Tianxia was about to speak up and offer to give his own tickets instead, Shi Feng—who had remained silent up to this point—finally opened his mouth.
"Scram."
A single word. In an instant, the entire area fell into dead silence. Even the experts from the various adventure teams who had been chatting among themselves, seemingly indifferent to the whole affair, couldn't help but turn their gazes toward Shi Feng.
This outcome was far beyond what any of those adventure team experts had expected.
"Has this man lost his mind?"
"They must be players who just arrived in Dragon Heart City. They probably don't know who Can Guang Ruxue is."
The members of the Nine Serpents Adventure Team conducting themselves in an overbearing fashion was something the members of all the major adventure teams had long grown accustomed to. Moreover, the Nine Serpents did not push things too far. Combined with their ever-growing influence on Dragon Heart Island, any smart person would simply let such small matters slide.
