Chapter 46

The races of the Dark Alliance are completely different from those of the Light Alliance. The human, elf, and gnome races of the Light Alliance belong to the typical beautiful races in a fantasy setting, while the races of the Dark Alliance are mostly wild and unrestrained. There are muscular orcs, robust tauren, and tall trolls. The only race that somewhat resembles the standard of beauty is the dark elves, who have rebelled from the elves. Of course, this is only for male characters. To ensure a balanced number of players in both factions and to cater to female players, the females of these races only have slight racial characteristics, and as long as they are not unattractive, they are still considered beautiful.

Despite these differences, both factions have the same professions, and the races of the Dark Alliance also possess their own racial talents. Among these Dark Alliance players, almost every profession is represented. The moment Mu Feng dismounted, several spells flew toward his face. At this stage, Mu Feng's magic defense is zero, and he can only rely on stacking health to resist magical damage. Moreover, these players are all of high level, and if they hit Mu Feng, he would be instantly killed.

Mu Feng immediately used the newly learned skill, Clone! A surge of black energy emerged from his body, forming an identical clone on the spot, while Mu Feng himself entered stealth mode. All the opponents' attack spells hit the clone, which was instantly killed with 400% increased damage.

"It's a clone? Everyone, be careful!" The system did not notify Mu Feng of gaining honor points for killing an opposing faction player, and the leading warrior immediately shouted. Although they often said that all red-named players are monsters, there were few weaklings among those who could come to the Flashing Plains to level up alone at this stage.

"Too late!" Mu Feng's voice came from another direction. He had reappeared and activated his Demon Value Burst, with black mist continuously surging from his body, like a demonic deity descending.

-2325! In the next second, he transformed into a blade and used a Blade Traverse, piercing through four or five casters. At this stage, no ranged caster has more than 1500 health, and the five were instantly killed!

"Quick, attack!" The leading orc warrior immediately shouted. Even a god would die if surrounded by so many people!

The response was a crescent-shaped black energy blade. -3109! The double-damage Dark Slash instantly killed seven melee attackers who rushed forward! The warrior who had been shouting that all red-named players were monsters was now alone.

"Red-named players are all monsters?" Stepping on the bodies that had not yet respawned, Mu Feng walked step by step toward the remaining orc warrior. Under the gray cloak that covered his entire body, a bloodthirsty red light seemed to be shining through.

"Y... Yu Yu's Wind! Don't kill me, I'm about to level up! I'm from the Ten Directions Annihilation guild of the Dark Alliance! Ah!"

-6123! Before he could finish speaking, Mu Feng's powerful attack had already been unleashed, sending him back to the angel sister.

Now, apart from Mu Feng, the only one who could still move on the scene was the paladin who had been chased earlier. Mu Feng turned around, and this guy had not taken the opportunity to escape but was instead watching Mu Feng kill with delight.

"Great job!" This guy was almost clapping. Seeing Mu Feng staring at him, he immediately laughed awkwardly.

"Thank you so much, Yu Yu's Wind! You're really strong!" This guy was straightforward. The eight seconds of invincibility had long passed, and if Mu Feng wanted to attack, the dark elf paladin named Moon Night Wolf would have no chance.

"Don't thank me. Aren't you afraid I might kill you too?" By killing over a dozen Dark Alliance players, Mu Feng had gained over a hundred honor points.

"No way, I'm your fan! I chose to be a paladin because of you!" Moon Night Wolf said excitedly. Just a moment ago, he had been frantically chased, and now meeting his idol felt like a dream.

"Um... Can you tell me why they were chasing you?" Mu Feng was surprised to find that his ID, which had been out of the gaming world for five years, still had supporters. He was also interested in how this guy had a conflict with the Ten Directions Annihilation.

The Ten Directions Annihilation is the largest guild of the Dark Alliance and has almost monopolized all the honors of the Dark Alliance since the launch of "Skyrim." This paladin is of a high level, and for the Ten Directions Annihilation to send so many people to chase him, he must be no ordinary player. After all, the benefits of intra-faction killing are not significant and do not have the effect of sending players back to the newbie village like in other games.

"Of course! But they might respawn at any time, so let's talk somewhere else?" Moon Night Wolf was clearly wary of the Ten Directions Annihilation.

"Alright!" After this little incident, Mu Feng had lost interest in leveling up. Xiao Jiu and Ye Luo Cheng Die were about to return, so he might as well listen to Moon Night Wolf's story to better understand the Ten Directions Annihilation, a major guild of the Dark Alliance. They quickly left the place of conflict.

In a safe area, Moon Night Wolf finally revealed the grudge between him and the Ten Directions Annihilation.

"I was born into a family of swordsmiths, and my family has been selling swords for generations. But when I was a child, I accidentally got my eyes injured by sparks from sword forging, and since then, I have been afraid to learn sword forging. It wasn't until I entered 'Skyrim'! I originally entered the blacksmith shop in 'Skyrim' out of boredom and found that the sword forging here is very realistic. The only difference is that you never have to worry about being injured by hot iron or sparks! So I immediately learned forging."

"So you're a blacksmith?" Mu Feng did not expect that this 25th-level paladin player was also a blacksmith. Although most players have a secondary profession, the fact that Moon Night Wolf mentioned it shows that he is a dedicated secondary profession player! A secondary profession player who can keep up with the level of high-level players at this stage!

"I don't know why, but my forging success rate is very high. On average, one out of every two pieces of equipment is green, and one out of every ten is blue. I didn't think much about it and just put all the equipment on the auction house. I didn't expect that the Ten Directions Annihilation would buy them all, and then their people came to me, asking me to become their guild's exclusive blacksmith. They would provide all the materials, and I would be responsible for forging, with a fixed monthly salary of 100,000 RMB."

"Isn't that great?" This is the ecosystem of secondary profession players at the bottom. Being targeted by a major guild and being supported by them, like Moon Night Wolf, is considered lucky, and a monthly salary of 100,000 RMB shows that the Ten Directions Annihilation values him highly!

"But... after joining the Ten Directions Annihilation, I realized that this was not the life I wanted. After becoming a high-level blacksmith, they made me forge a large number of equipment every day. They even found people to help me level up because forging high-level equipment requires strength points. I just had to stand there to level up. I felt no joy at all! It went against the reason I started playing the game!"

"So you quit?" Mu Feng understood.

"Exactly! I now have a good grasp of the prices of high-level equipment, and with my abilities, I can support myself!"

"But with the strength of the Ten Directions Annihilation, it's not that easy to leave."

"Exactly! When I proposed to leave, I was threatened. They said they would make it impossible for me to survive in the Dark Alliance! But fortunately, 'Skyrim' has the setting of neutral cities, so I came here."

"Neutral cities are indeed a good choice. Even if the Thorn City level is low in the future, there will definitely be new neutral cities for you to settle in!" Mu Feng nodded in agreement.

"Um... Idol, can I ask you for a favor?" Moon Night Wolf said shyly.

"What is it?"

"Can you... take me to Thorn City?"

"Alright, I'll do you a favor and take you to Thorn City!" Mu Feng thought for a moment and decided to help him. If he is indeed a skilled blacksmith as he claims, he will be useful in the future.

"Thank you!"

"Hehehe... Stupid servant, Xiao Die and I have already arrived in Thorn City. Where are you?" Just as Mu Feng had taken Moon Night Wolf to Thorn City, he received a private message from Xiao Jiu.

"I'm just outside Thorn City. Where are you? Should I come find you?"

"Huh? We? We're in the city center, it's so crowded and lively here!" Xiao Jiu said.

"Wait for me!" Mu Feng ended the private message and bid farewell to Moon Night Wolf, heading into the city.

Although Thorn City is built entirely of sand and earth, it is still a large city. When Mu Feng found Xiao Jiu and the other two girls, he discovered that some kind of event seemed to be happening, with a lot of NPCs and players participating.

"Come and sign up! Fight the desert monster, the Sand Lizard, and win a gold coin prize! The prize is continuously increasing!" A small green-skinned goblin NPC stood on a platform and shouted down. It turned out to be a makeshift arena-like facility.
