Chapter 179 - The Wolves
“Brother Xiao, you are alone. No matter how powerful you are, you will also feel weak when the opponents are too strong. Space Stone is construction material needed by all the major guilds and there is no output anywhere at all at present. These Space Stones can help you find a lot of allies and destroy many enemies!” Qian Duoduo said in a hurry. That was her purpose—she wanted to help Xiaofeng.
“Don’t worry, those are all small problems, and this is for you. I’m about to go now.” Xiaofeng shook his head and left the main building of the Treasure Pavilion after handing over the two tokens to Qian Duoduo, not allowing her to say anything about it.
The two tokens had been dropped when he killed the sentries of the demon sentry that he encountered when he went to Bone Mountain to improve himself. Since he had given them to Qian Duoduo, Xiaofeng had to change to another map in order to find demon sentries.
“Brother Xiao, you are new to online games. You may have no idea of how powerful a major guild is when it is fully formed after a player has made it through the early stage. Just some common guilds, like the Doomsday League, that are low on the list can have millions of followers, let alone the Glory. Your powerfulness is only due to the advantage of the level of equipment in the early stage. When it comes to the middle even later stages, individual strength will be less and less prominent,” Qian Duoduo signed and looked at Xiaofeng’s back.
In online games, a great population would have absolutely overwhelming strength in the later stages. For example, an archer could learn a special skill of archery at level 20. The attack could ignore part of DEF, then it could break Xiaofeng’s defense. Damage brought by a round of arrows launching would be definitely horrible.
Furthermore, the higher the professional level of the mage, the more powerful skills they could learn. Some skills could bring fixed damage; some could cut health to a certain percentage, in addition to the damage effect brought by advanced equipment. No matter how powerful you were as an individual, you would feel powerless at that time.
Of course, Xiaofeng didn’t care so much. He went straight to the Warehouse and planned to expand his backpack. A space of 100 cases was totally enough for him, but it seemed not enough on some special occasions, for instance, when he needed to transport rare potions.
“Aren’t you Archbishop? You are such a rare visitor! Please! Please come on in!”
The fat npc boss saw Xiaofeng coming from a distance. He hurriedly greeted him and graciously spoke.
“Help me expand my backpack, I have brought Space Stones here.” Xiaofeng did not talk any nonsense, he directly took out the Space Stones. There were 128 in all, and Xiaofeng put them in front of the npc boss.
“What! This is impossible!”
The chubby boss immediately widened his eyes. He first rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then looked at Xiaofeng with a forced smile, “Archbishop, I have limited ability, I can use 10 Space Stones to expand an extra 100 cases of space at most, which is also the upper limit of adventurers’ backpack.”
“Do I have any other ways to expand my backpack?” Xiaofeng asked. The upper limit of the backpack was 200 cases, which was inadequate for him.
The fat boss thought about it then said, “Er… Archbishop, you can go to the first forge master of the Shenzhou Empire. With so many Space Stones, he should be able to create space equipment of Celestial Artifact quality for you.”
“Celestial Artifact?” Xiaofeng’s eyes lit up immediately. “Where is the first forge master you have just spoken of?”
“I have heard that he was in Iron Teeth before, you can go there and see,” the fat boss hurriedly said.
“Iron Teeth? Ok, thank you.”
It was a strange main city for him. Anyway, he could be teleported there. Xiaofeng just made sure that there was enough time and immediately left.
Celestial Artifacts could make all players feel excited, and Xiaofeng was no exception. He went directly to the central square of Tianlong City and walked toward the Transmission Formation.
“Big Brother, have you got a token?” A little boy happened to call and his voice sounded chaotic. It seemed that there were others with him.
“Yes,” Xiaofeng replied. He had given Qian Duoduo two tokens and left one for himself.
The boy hastened to say, “Then, do you have time to help me a little just a little? Ok?”
“No, get lost,” Xiaofeng said without any hesitancy.
“Don’t say that, big brother. We are all looking for demon sentries on the map of the Dwarfs. My sister is also here. Come with us,” the boy continued.
Xiaofeng felt that it was strange and said, “Why are you going to the Dwarfs?”
“There are too many players in the Terran. Every map is full of players looking for demon sentries everywhere. Some people even dare to go to the high-level maps. So we can only go to the Dwarfs, there are fewer players there,” the boy explained.
“Since you already have a priest, you can play it yourself. I still have a task to finish.” Xiaofeng nodded and didn’t wait for the little boy to reply. He hung up the call. Since they already had War Spirit Ziyi with them, there was no need for him to go there. It was so boring for him to call him.
At the other end of the call, in a map of ruins, the little boy hung up the call silently. He looked at the enchanting back of War Spirit Ziyi and soon had sweat on his forehead.
They had a large team and were besieging and attacking a demon sentry. The team was originally organized by the Nicholas Brothers and their alumni. But a demon sentry was an Elite BOSS after all, so they asked the little boy for help, who was a senior player. And because the team was just in need of a priest, the little boy called War Spirit Ziyi.
The little boy totally depended on his feeling of being assisted. It was accurate to say that he had been spoiled. He would feel that something had gone wrong if he had not been assisted when attacking monsters.
“You said that Master Xiao would come, why hasn’t he arrived yet?”
In front, after War Spirit Ziyi added Nicholas Tiezhu’s BUFF to full, she turned around and asked the little boy. Her compelling eyes had some suspiciousness in them.
“Big brother said that he will arrive soon, ha, haha.” The little boy forced a laugh, which made War Spirit Ziyi squint. But it happened that the demon sentry got angry and Nicholas Tiezhu only had half of his health left. Therefore, War Spirit Ziyi had to hasten to cure him.
Iron Teeth was not the main city in the south. The fee that Xiaofeng paid for being teleported was as high as 30 gold coins, so he immediately understood that the city was very far.
Iron Teeth had a good temperature. It seemed to be located in the tropics, and the flow of players was also very large. It was a prosperous city, but Xiaofeng did not stay in this main city for a long time because he did not find the first forge master of the empire.
“Oh, you are looking for my teacher, Master Di Wuya. He left this city some time ago.”
He was in the forging shop in Iron Teeth. Xiaofeng showed his identity as Archbishop and directly went to the npc forge master. He was said to be the apprentice of Master Di Wuya.
“He has left? Where has he gone?” Xiaofeng asked at once.
“My teacher went to Dwarf Master Di to exchange experience. I have no idea when he will come back,” the forge master replied.
“The Dwarfs?” Xiaofeng was surprised, and then he took out the Space Stones and showed them to the forge master. As Master Di Wuya’s apprentice, he should be able to forge it. “Can you use these Space Stones to help me make space equipment?”
“These are Space Stones! And so many of them!” The forge master was shocked and then shook his head with regret. “I can’t do it as well as my teacher can. Although I can forge it, the equipment can only be the golden type at most. That’s a waste of these Space Stones.”
“Well, then I am going to find Master Di Wuya. Where is he now?” Xiaofeng reluctantly took back the Space Stones. Golden Equipment was significantly different from a Celestial Artifact.
The forge master shook his head and said, “I have no idea. But you can go to the Dwarfs to find Master Di, and then you can find my teacher. Master Di is famous among the Dwarfs, so you can easily find him.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Xiaofeng thanked him and left. He immediately stepped on the Transmission Formation in Iron Teeth. However, just as he was about to be teleported, he found that he did not know the name of the Dwarfs’ main city.
After thinking about it, Xiaofeng suddenly picked up the phone and called the little boy.
“What did you say before? Are you in the Dwarf Empire?”
The little boy felt excited and said immediately, “Big brother, I knew you wouldn’t forget us! But we are not in the Dwarf Empire, there are only several main cities and limited people there. We are in the territory of the Orc Empire. If you would like to come, you can be teleported to Black Soil, we are all in this city.”
Not waiting for the little boy to continue his words, Xiaofeng hung up the call again. He had decided to go to Black Soil.
At the same time as he finished the call, in a map of ruins outside Black Soil City, the little boy found that they were being surrounded by a large group of people.
The Map of the Ruins of Ancient City was a secondary map. The image of the land was a wrecked city foundation. Ruins and broken walls were everywhere. The place was not easy to get through, but the little boy and his company were not mediocre people, let alone they had War Spirit Ziyi with them, who could cure them often. It was actually relaxing for them to achieve a lot here, they had already found a demon sentry and killed him, and the second one had also been found successfully.
However, when they were just preparing to kill the second one, a group of nearly 50 uninvited guests suddenly appeared. Their aim was also the demon sentry, and they directly rounded up the little boy and his team.
“What happened? Who are they?” the little boy joined the team and asked Nicholas Zhaosi, who was in the rear. In order to hide from War Spirit Ziyi and to receive Xiaofeng’s call, he just went a short distance from the team. So he had no idea what had happened.
Nicholas Zhaosi, who was always all smiles, now had a serious expression and whispered to the little boy, “Be careful, they are from the Wolves. We may have trouble.”
“The Wolves? But I remember we have no conflicts with them.”
In the front, Nicholas Tiezhu had begun to talk to them. Nicholas Tiezhu was experienced and steady, he had always been the core and leader of their team.
In the opposite camp, a mighty group of players of about 50 to 60 people surrounded Nicholas Tiezhu’s team. They were all from the Orcs and had distinctive features in appearance and refined equipment. Above the nicknames over their heads was a unified guild name—Wolves!
At present, there were in total just a dozen guilds in Huaxia District. Therefore, none of the established guilds could be underestimated.
Among their team, a warrior player, who seemed to come from the Tigers judging by his appearance, had walked out and said without any expression, “We didn’t have any conflict before, but we are determined to have this demon sentry. So I hope you all do me a favor.”
Behind Nicholas Tiezhu, a young player shouted unwillingly, “We found it first and were just ready to start our work! Why should we give it to you?” He seemed to be a roommate or alumnus of the Nicholas Brothers.
The warrior player from the Tigers didn’t change his expression, he just said coldly, “Because we are the Wolves.”
