"An airship?"
"That's impossible!"
The members of the Blazing Flame Adventure Team stared up at the Scarlet Dragon Airship that blotted out the sky, their jaws dropping one by one, utterly unable to believe what they were seeing.
"This has to be a hallucination!" The tall and imposing vice-leader, Xueren Bugui, stared wide-eyed and said in complete disbelief. "It has to be fake. How could something like an airship possibly end up in the hands of players?"
At a time when players didn't even have flying mounts, an airship was practically a legendary artifact.
They had only ever seen such things in books. Even a major trading city like Meteorfire City didn't have a single one. According to the rumors, the only flying vehicles in existence were those used by the Holy City Guard when patrolling human territories—far beyond anything players could ever get their hands on.
At that moment, forget about Xueren Bugui—even Lionheart Feixue's heart was shaken to its core after seeing the Scarlet Dragon Airship, unable to calm for a long while.
After their initial shock wore off, Chilan and Zhufeng Tianxia couldn't help but turn their gazes toward the composed and unperturbed Shi Feng.
"Who on earth is this Black Flame?"
A deep and persistent question kept surfacing in their minds.
They had done plenty of research on Shi Feng and his group—they were, after all, potential long-term partners, and it was only natural to learn as much as possible about them.
Yet the more they dug, the more confused they became, as if Shi Feng were a bottomless abyss with no end in sight.
At first, they had assumed he was merely a Tier 4 expert who had come from another NPC main city. But after Shi Feng produced the Soul Crystals and Soul Water, and they witnessed the effects of both—along with the fact that no other NPC main city possessed anything like them—they began to reconsider.
They realized Shi Feng was far from ordinary. He was most likely a high-ranking member of a powerful faction or major guild in some distant NPC city; otherwise, there was no way he could casually sell such precious Soul Crystals and Soul Water while possessing such formidable strength on top of that.
This was one of the reasons why Captain Lionheart Feixue had wanted to show off his strength and recruit Shi Feng—after all, forming an alliance with such a major faction would be enormously beneficial for their Tianyan Adventure Team.
But now Shi Feng had produced an airship, a legendary artifact, and it left them completely unable to figure out just who he really was.
Their Tianyan Adventure Team could be said to have a near-monopoly over Meteor Fire City. While they couldn't compare to those great guilds capable of dominating multiple cities, they were still considered a regional powerhouse in the Divine Realm.
Even granting that there was a gap between their Tianyan Adventure Team and those top-tier guilds, the gap absolutely could not be this vast…
Nearby, Yuluo gazed at the Scarlet Dragon Airship hovering in the sky and then at the stunned crowd on the rooftop, feeling not the slightest hint of surprise.
Back when Shi Feng had first unveiled the Scarlet Dragon Airship on the Divine Realm's continent, it had stunned the entire Divine Realm.
The shock of witnessing the Scarlet Dragon Airship was something impossible to forget, let alone for people here who didn't even have flying mounts.
"Alright, let's head up." Shi Feng stepped onto the Scarlet Dragon Airship without a second thought.
As an advanced airship, the Scarlet Dragon Airship could accommodate up to 130 people, which was just about enough to carry everyone present.
Only after Shi Feng spoke did the members of the Tianyan Adventure Team snap out of their daze, quietly filing onto the Scarlet Dragon Airship one by one. They tried their best to suppress the excitement and shock welling up inside them, terrified that Shi Feng and his companions would look down on them.
However, once they actually stood aboard the Scarlet Dragon Airship, those suppressed emotions became impossible to hold back.
Because standing on the Scarlet Dragon Airship and looking down at all of Meteor Fire City was simply exhilarating.
The mere presence of the Scarlet Dragon Airship hovering in the skies above Meteor Fire City made it the most dazzling spectacle in the entire city. Players and NPCs along the main street all gazed up at the airship — some in wonder, some in shock, some in envy — chattering endlessly about it.
