Chapter 1356 Abandoned Waves End

Star-Moon Kingdom, Star-Moon City:

After the battle in Stone Forest Town, many merchant players from neighboring kingdoms and empires gathered in the city. Three out of ten players that arrived in the Teleportation Hall were low leveled merchant players in ordinary equipment. Normally, such a scene could only be found in imperial capitals.

Upon arriving at Star-Moon City, the merchant players teleported to the closest NPC town to Stone Forest Town. The long line at one of the departure teleportation arrays stupefied players.

Why are all these merchant players heading to Stone Forest Town?! Isnt it just a measly Guild town? Why make such a huge fuss over it?

Dont you know? When Zero Wing announced that it would auction adventurer houses, it had also declared that it would sell all kinds of Shops to outsiders. These merchant players are heading to Stone Forest Town to get a better idea of the towns situation. The Shops in NPC cities are too expensive. Theres also a lot of competition with the various large Guilds Shops on top of the high property tax every month. Its simply impossible for ordinary merchant players to afford.

The Shops in Guild towns, on the other hand, are much cheaper. The monthly property tax is also much lower. Most importantly, Stone Forest Towns player traffic rivals an NPC citys. Due to the Battle Arena, expert players have gathered there, and they generally have plenty of precious resources. Merchant players will be able to buy and sell their items more conveniently if they had a Shop in Stone Forest Town. Everyone knows that Stone Forest Town has near-impeccable security now. Naturally, merchant players are eager to move into Stone Forest Town.

In that case, wouldnt it be amazing if we developed in Stone Forest Town!?

Independent players quickly started making preparations to shift their base of operations to Stone Forest Town.

Originally, the Candlelight Trading Firms presence already made Stone Forest Town a good place to develop. Unfortunately, NPC cities sold a much more diverse selection of items than the Candlelight Trading Firm. Now that so many merchant players were planning to invest into Stone Forest Town, with some even coming from other kingdoms and empires, Stone Forest Town would sell a greater variety of items.

Stone Forest Towns variety of merchandise might rival, or even surpass, Star Moon Citys.

Unlike Shops in NPC cities, players could construct simple teleportation arrays in Guild town shops. Merchant players could teleport directly to their Shops without passing through Star-Moon City or spending hours traveling by carriage. This encouraged merchant players to sell more products in Stone Forest Town, facilitating the transfer of merchandise.

Heavens Burials upper echelons had gathered in the Residences meeting room.

The meeting room was silent as everyone stared at Singular Burial, who wore a solemn expression.

Despite foolishly throwing away the opportunity to invite famous adventurer teams to occupy Stone Forest Town, even more independent players were attracted by the mass of merchant players. Both Stone Forest Town and Zero Wing would develop rapidly. As a result, the gap between Heavens Burial and Zero Wing would expand.

Our only hope is to take down the Frost King as soon as possible. Although the rewards wont help us overtake Zero Wing, we can put up a fight, Singular Burial said helplessly.

Not only was Zero Wing undamaged by Abandoned Waves, but it had helped increase Stone Forest Towns fame. He wouldnt have let Abandoned Wave take action so soon if hed known this would happen. To make things worse, Abandoned Wave had been captured. With Abandoned Wave finished, there was no Guild in Star-Moon Kingdom capable of stopping Zero Wing from becoming the kingdoms overlord.

Guild Leader, I just received good news, Daybreak Fog said.

Good news? Singular Burial inquired, What kind of good news could there be at a time like this?

Didnt Black Flame kill Flame Blood? Broken Flow had brought his team to resurrect Flame Blood after failing at his task. Although Flame Blood had suffered grievous losses, he got to meet Abandoned Waves leader, Beast Emperor. Beast Emperor had even secretly added Flame Blood as a friend, Daybreak Fog explained. Beast Emperor took the initiative to contact Flame Blood, stating that he wishes to have a personal chat with you. Beast Emperor also said that hes willing to help Heavens Burial annihilate Zero Wing!

Abandoned Waves leader, is it? Singular Burial smiled. Alright, tell Flame Blood to send Beast Emperor a reply. Say that Im willing to have a proper discussion with him.

Daybreak Fog conveyed Singular Burials response to Flame Blood.

Shi Feng alighted from the advanced horse carriage and came face to face with White River Citys War Gods Temple.

The War Gods Temple served as a waypoint for teleporting to the Abyss Battlefield. There were more players entering and leaving the War Gods Temple now than the Adventurers Association. Players would visit the War Gods Temple at least once a day.

If the Adventurers Association was a good place for individual players to earn money, then the War Gods Temple was a good place for players to level up and improve their foundational strength.

If the Abyss Battlefield didnt limit players to just one life per day, every player in the game would likely stay cooped up there and refuse to leave.

Although the Abyss Battlefields monsters didnt drop Coins, they dropped weapons and equipment as well as gave Honor Points. Honor Points could be used to purchase tools, top-tier weapons, and equipment from the War Gods Temple.

It was extremely difficult to survive inside the Abyss Battlefield. Moreover, the higher level one reached, the more difficult the monsters would be.

Expert players below Level 50 could stay in the Abyss Battlefield for an entire day as long as they didnt go anywhere too dangerous. Though their income would be lower if they didnt take risks, after a few days of grinding, they could still accumulate enough points to purchase good equipment. The weapons and equipment for sale at the War Gods Temple were more suited towards PvP. The items effects and Basic Attributes would be inferior to the items dropped by Field Bosses and Team Dungeons. Even so, the Abyss Battlefield was still a paradise for solo players.

After Level 50, however, surviving in less dangerous maps would be even more difficult for expert players. Level 50-plus weapons and equipment cost substantially more Honor Points. Eventually, rather than a place for farming items, the Abyss Battlefield become a training ground for expert players and a place for ordinary players to grind for the Double EXP Potion.

When Shi Feng arrived at the War Gods Temples third-floor hall, a Level 150, Tier 3 Great Mage greeted him. Sir, how may I help you?

Casting a glance at the NPC, Shi Feng noticed that it was a senior administrator at the War Gods Temple named Roland.

Ive captured an Evil God Apostle, so Im here to claim the bounty.

The first-floor hall of the War Gods Temple dealt with all matters relating to the Abyss Battlefield. The second floor was the War Gods Temples quest area, where players could accept quests or turn in their completed quests. Players were awarded Merit Points for completing War Gods Temple quests. Similarly, players could spend Merit Points on items here.

Players were allowed to freely enter the War Gods Temples first two floors. The third floor was different. As it was a place that specifically dealt with matters relating to the dark forces, players wouldnt be allowed to set foot onto the third floor if they didnt have any related matters.

An Evil God Apostle?! Rolands old face twitched. With a slightly suspicious look on his face, he looked at Shi Feng and said, Can you allow me to confirm your claims validity?

Sure. Shi Feng took out the Mobile Jail and handed it to Roland.

After Roland received the Mobile Jail, he chanted an incantation and tapped his finger on the crystal ball.

An image appeared above the Mobile Jail. The image displayed Abandoned Wave trapped inside a dark space. Abandoned Wave was continuously hurling attacks at the surrounding space. He radiated Evil Energy, and his eyes were bloodshot. It was obvious that he had already fallen into madness.

It really is an Evil God Apostle! Shock flashed in Rolands eyes. The War Gods Temple and the Evil Gods Temple had a hostile relationship. Meanwhile, Evil God Apostles had received the Evil Gods blessing. They were rare in Gods Domain. Roland returned the Mobile Jail to Shi Feng and said respectfully, Esteemed adventurer, please follow me. Ill bring you to meet with the Vice Temple Lord. I believe the Vice Temple Lord will be very happy to meet you.
