"Is Zero Wing's Guild Master really that powerful?"
Jun Ya and Purple Lightning Rakshasa looked at Huan Yu, who spoke of Black Flame with a solemn expression, their hearts full of astonishment.
It felt like Huan Yu was pulling one over on them.
They were no strangers to Zero Wing of the First Shelter. They also knew that Zero Wing was a major guild from the outside world, and that its Guild Master's strength was certainly extraordinary — otherwise, a figure like Qing Shuang wouldn't have joined Zero Wing.
But the idea that a single person could change the dynamics of this defense battle seemed utterly impossible.
After all, this defense battle was a full-scale war, not some outdoor team skirmish. They would be facing not only hordes of expert players, but also all manner of war weapons and powerful items. It wasn't as simple as a fight between players.
In the face of war weapons and powerful items, Tier 3 professionals were no different from Tier 2 players. How could a single person possibly turn the tide of battle?
"Mm, very powerful — a true monster." Huan Yu nodded. Looking at the somewhat skeptical Jun Ya and Purple Lightning Rakshasa, she couldn't help but smile wryly. "With my skills, I probably wouldn't last more than three moves against him."
"You wouldn't last more than three moves?" Jun Ya and Purple Lightning Rakshasa were visibly startled.
Although the two of them couldn't gauge Huan Yu's true strength, their instincts told them that if they ever faced her, there would be only one thing they could do.
Run!
There was no other option. Even if both of them attacked together, the outcome wouldn't change.
But a monster like Huan Yu wouldn't last more than three moves? How was that possible?
"If you ever run into him, you'll find out soon enough whether I'm telling the truth." Huan Yu looked at the two who clearly didn't believe her, smiled, and didn't bother explaining further.
Jun Ya and Purple Lightning Rakshasa remained skeptical but didn't press the issue. Instead, they began discussing the defense battle with Huan Yu.
Just as Huan Yu and Jun Ya were talking strategy for the defense battle, Shi Feng was preparing to leave the Aurora Shelter with Flame Dance and the others, completely unaware that Huan Yu had been talking about him.
"Guild Master, are we really leaving so soon? I saw so many attribute gems being sold here at cheap prices, and there are even Tier 3 magic Skill Books for sale. Leaving now feels like such a waste." Watercolor Rose looked at Shi Feng, who clearly didn't intend to stay long at the Aurora Shelter, and said reluctantly.
Before entering the Aurora Shelter, it hadn't mattered. But once inside, she realized it was an absolute treasure trove.
Not only were the attribute gems sold on the streets priced at half of what they cost on the Eastern Continent, but even Tier 3 magic Skill Books — which were exceedingly rare on the Eastern Continent — were available for purchase. While these Tier 3 Skill Books were all fairly basic offensive magic spells rather than control or large-scale area-of-effect skills, they would absolutely cause a stir in the Auction Houses of any major kingdom or empire, and would be snatched up in an instant.
After all, Tier 3 magic skills were a full tier above Tier 2 in terms of power. Whether for PvP combat or killing monsters, they provided a significant advantage.
"Yes, we have to leave immediately. Those attribute gems and Tier 3 magic Skill Books are indeed valuable, but we have something even more important to do." Shi Feng looked at the reluctant Watercolor Rose and the others, his tone firm.
The Dark Caverns were a special planar world. He had originally thought it would be a long time before the major powers of the Divine Realm gradually discovered it.
But he hadn't expected it to be discovered this quickly — and not only that, there was already a Bronze Teleportation Gate linking the two worlds...
Most people probably had no idea what this meant, but for someone who understood the Divine Realm as well as Shi Feng did, he knew all too well just how terrifying this was.
It could only be described as insane!
Tier 3 and above magic Skill Books were extremely rare in the outside world. Even running super-large Level 100 team Dungeons yielded very few — and this was true across other worlds as well. But the Dark Caverns were the exception. Forget Tier 3 magic Skill Books — even Tier 3 Forbidden Spells could be obtained with relative ease.
For Tier 3 professionals, besides the Mana Body which could greatly enhance a player's combat power, learning Tier 3 magic skills was the fastest way to boost their strength.
In the increasingly competitive Divine Realm, every major power was scrambling to dramatically increase their combat strength. With such a perfect opportunity to enhance the power of their Tier 3 experts, how could any major power not go absolutely crazy?
Right now, while the passages linking the two worlds hadn't multiplied yet, he naturally needed to seize every possible advantage within the Dark Caverns and develop the First Shelter. That way, there would be a steady supply of Tier 3 magic Skill Books for the guild's experts.
While the First Shelter was doing reasonably well at the moment, within the Dark Caverns it barely ranked in the top ten — still far behind the Aurora Shelter...
Accelerating a shelter's development generally required its players to put in the effort to manage and build it up, progressing bit by bit. Achieving rapid growth in a short period of time was extremely difficult.
