Chapter 964 - 908: Entering the Great Wilderness from the Divine Domain Space
While Da Fei was busy with the history book, the Dragon Slayer Guild had already been toiling overnight over the history of the Beastmen. The mythical tribe of the Kerong is absolutely worth an all-nighter from the Dragon Slayer Guild.
Although the Beastmen lack a developed culture, they do have libraries, and the Shaman Guild functions like a library. All night long, hundreds of Beastmen members of the Dragon Slayer Guild spread across various tribal Shaman Guilds, searching for materials, consulting NPCs about everything related to the Centaur Kerong tribe.
The Kerong tribe is indeed a well-known entity from a certain era. A professional guild member happened to have a high friendship level with a Centaur NPC, gathering information which finally bore fruit at 6 AM. The Kerong tribe resides in the most distant Great Wilderness in the East, living a troublesome nomadic lifestyle, perpetually chasing water and grass. They are like elusive saints in the game that can teach players special skills.
This put the Dragon Slayer Guild in a difficult position.
The world map of this game was briefly introduced before, resembling a real-world map. The Eastern World where Da Fei is headed is akin to the Southeast Asian Malay Indonesian Islands. The Bright Alliance, home to the dwarves, elves, and humans, is similar to Europe, whereas the Undead corresponds to the vast territories of Turkey and Arabia. The Beastmen territory is akin to Eastern Europe. The Great Wilderness, however, is like East and West Siberia, further east of Eastern Europe.
Searching for a migrating tribe with an unconfirmed location in such a vast area is like finding a needle in a haystack. Moreover, the Great Wilderness is home to various Centaur tribes that do not submit to the Beastman Kingdom’s rule, as well as many unknown powerful tribes. In short, it is incredibly challenging.
Furthermore, there is the troublesome issue of how to transport the two human heroes from Bloodrose through the Beastmen’s territory to the Great Wilderness. Bloodrose’s first reaction was naturally smuggling, putting the heroes in a barrel, just like when Da Fei and the Nun Witch were smuggled out of the monastery.
However, the monastery only required passing through a gate, while crossing the Beastman territory involves going through countless checkpoints. Who can guarantee that the system won’t suddenly throw a wrench, exposing the players?
If the Kerong tribe were a settled tribe, it would be a little easier. The Dragon Slayer Guild’s experts could blaze a trail first, and once they find the tribe, they could slowly work on bringing Bloodrose’s mission NPCs over. But the problem is, they are a migrating tribe.
At this impasse, Bloodrose Guild immediately thought of the World Window Divine Domain Space run by Skyshattering Thunder. Since the Divine Domain Space can lead to various uninhabited places in the world, what about the Great Wilderness? It’s impossible for such a vast area not to have one, right? If there is a route to the Great Wilderness, Junxiang and Ouling could bypass the Beastman Kingdom and detour through the Divine Domain Space.
Moreover, a joint operation led by Star, with support from Ninth Heaven and the Royal Family to establish a city for Skyshattering Thunder, is set to commence once the 200,000 Command Value troops arrive at the Dwarf Capital tomorrow. The main objective of this operation is to explore these uninhabited places. Hence, Bloodrose immediately connected these two matters.
In truth, if a detour through the Divine Domain Space is indeed feasible, this is no longer just an issue for Bloodrose and Dragon Slayer but should be a genuine collective action for the entire China Region’s large guilds. The Dark Alliance of Ma Yinglong also finally won’t be excluded.
Then, does Bloodrose need to reconsider at all? Naturally, they will explore and detour through the Divine Domain Space. Only by undertaking such grand moves can Bloodrose manifest its soft leadership in the China Guild. This also prevents Dragon Slayer from acquiring the information and leaving Bloodrose behind to act independently.
Therefore, early in the morning, Bloodrose Guild decisively convened a guild alliance meeting, inviting the leaders and senior officers from Star, Dragon Slayer, Ninth Heaven, Royal Guild, as well as City Lord Skyshattering Thunder of the Divine Domain Space, to discuss strategic plans in the chat room.
At this moment, all the bigshots recognized this player named Junxiang, as well as the hidden special soldier class, Rider Shooter. Of course, the Divine Domain Space is no longer a secret to Ma Yinglong.
No objections: if the Rider Shooter, this high-level guerrilla soldier class, is successfully trained, the China Region can definitely outperform players from other countries in the national war. Ninth Heaven and Royal Guild immediately expressed their support, as it merely clarified the target for tomorrow’s mindless exploration plan.
Royal Dominator specifically stated, "Though I don’t know if the plan will succeed, it’s never wrong to prepare for horse breeding in advance. We are not good at warfare, but we excel at spending money. Let’s buy 100 horses, 10 Arrow Towers, and 1,000 units of horse fodder for Ouling Farm as a token of goodwill. Please accept it, beauties."
Bloodrose Rosa shook her head and laughed, "Is this a signal from Big Boss Dominator to reserve a hundred Rider Shooters from us? Anyone else want to place an order, feel free to speak up!"
Divine Emperor laughed, "Big Boss Dominator didn’t even check if the beauties’ site can accommodate them. How about this, I’ll send a few teams to renovate the beauties’ farm, with all sorts of warehouses, stables, water supplies, dorms, barracks, and walls upgraded in place."
Bloodrose Rosa chuckled, "Indeed, Big Boss Divine Emperor knows best! Well, then I won’t be courteous. Anyway, Bloodrose is not really into warfare, so feel free to let the professional experts handle it."
For a moment, laughter filled the air among the bigshots.
Ma Yinglong sighed, "Alright, it’s settled then. Our guild will start transporting troops and supplies to the eastern border of the Beastman Kingdom from today, hoping you Bright big shots can find an exit to air-drop into the Great Wilderness tomorrow. It’s like going to level up since the monsters there are strong and the experience must be high."
Eternal Star laughed, "After so many years of rivalry with Brother Ma, it’s rare to cooperate for once. Not an easy feat!"
Bloodrose Rosa sighed, "The current international situation is unfavorable to our China Region, and we must unite."
Divine Emperor clapped his hands, "Alright, the foreign regions are progressing rapidly, so they won’t give us much time. Let’s begin our action. This meeting is known only to us regarding the Rider Shooter, which is top secret until the national war. As for our exploration of the Great Wilderness, keep it confidential as much as possible."
Everyone laughed, "Of course."
After the meeting, Zhou Qing let out a big breath of relief. The burden that was on her alone was now shared by the guild filled with experts. It seems that she doesn’t even have much to do herself now. This is indeed the benefit of being part of the Beauty Guild. Let the men handle world domination.
Just at that moment, the beauties in the studio exclaimed, "Look, another NPC is coming out from the Space Gate! So peculiar!"
Zhou Qing quickly turned to look at the large screen on the wall, and indeed, it was peculiar! An extravagantly but slightly scantily-clad Female Elf NPC was joking with the little Dwarf hero at the blacksmith shop. What’s going on here?
In any case, this opportunity shouldn’t be missed, so she hurried to strike up a conversation.
Zhou Qing immediately put on her helmet and activated her account, which was idling in the plaza, to approach and chat, "Excuse me, ma’am, where are you from? What is your profession?"
The NPC burst into laughter and spun around on the spot, "What profession do you think I am?"
Bloodrose Rosa was stunned and said, "Uh, a dancer at the bar?"
The NPC laughed heartily, "Ice Fruit! You guessed it right! Well then, goodbye!" With that, she headed straight for the teleportation array in the hall.
The little Dwarf at the blacksmith shop waved, "Goodbye, sister!"
Seeing the NPC about to leave, Bloodrose Rosa hurriedly asked, "Lady, is there anything you need help with?"
The dancer waved and laughed, "Books! All kinds of interesting books are what I need, especially history books from the Dark Alliance! Any kind of history will do, the more the better. If you can have them ready before I return, I’ll have a special surprise for you!"
—System Prompt: The mysterious lady has issued a book collection reward task.
Triggering a collection task with just one conversation! How peculiar is this NPC? However, any NPC that can appear from this Mysterious Space, which the city’s Angels are spooked by, must be extraordinary! Surely, it’s closely linked to the last time with the Duke’s family’s Forging Steel Hand.
Dark Alliance history books, right? Perfect! Zhou Qing immediately regained her composure and messaged Ma Yinglong, "Brother Ma, are your members still gathering information?"
Ma Yinglong replied, "Yes, do you have any new discoveries, beauty?"
Zhou Qing smiled, "This time it’s an emergency. We have an important task that requires collecting a lot of Dark Alliance history books, of all kinds. Can you find a way, Brother Ma?"
Ma Yinglong laughed, "Beauty, you’ve found the right person at the right time, no problem! But high-end history books from libraries can only be borrowed, not sold. We can only send low-end goods."
Zhou Qing rejoiced, "As expected of Brother Ma, low-end will do, the more the better!"
