Chapter 86

The appearance of the mysterious black shadow was completely unknown to the three people who had already left the dark ancient castle. Coming down from the narrow, winding mountain path, they summoned their respective mounts and planned to head east!

"Roar!~" Unexpectedly, Asuna also had a mount that was no less impressive than Mu Feng's! It was a mighty golden lion, identical to the lion on the emblem of the human kingdom's Lionheart City!

The golden lion's mane shimmered with a strange light under the sun, and its bell-like eyes emitted a chilling glow. Upon its first appearance, it raised its body and roared to the sky, as if displaying the majesty of the king of beasts to the surrounding wild animals! On the back of the lion, a red and white saddle was installed. Behind the saddle, a red flag stood upright, with a splendid white cross on the crimson background.

"Roar!~" Mu Feng's Black Obsidian Wings, mounted under him, did not yield, roaring back! Although it looked like a black leopard, the pair of black, magnificent wings and the moon marks on its limbs that emitted a silver glow proved its extraordinary nature; it could not be described as just a leopard. The two impressive mounts faced off, and if they had any offensive capabilities other than speed, they would surely have fought!

"This cross..." Upon seeing the cross, Mu Feng's expression suddenly became serious. Because he was all too familiar with this symbol! He had designed it himself!

"This is the flag of my guild... Stars!" Asuna lowered her head and silently acknowledged, not continuing to hide it.

"Ah!~ So you're the legendary first expert of Stars, the Warrior hero? I didn't expect such a mysterious figure to be in our party, and you're even a super beautiful woman!" Since she was fully immersed in the game, Ye Luochengdie also began to pay attention to the news inside and outside the game. She had heard of the mysterious warrior in the rumors.

"Yes, I am that warrior, but I'm not as powerful as the rumors suggest. It's just a means of propaganda. I don't often participate in guild activities, so they spread all sorts of rumors to expand the guild's influence. You... aren't you angry with me?" Seeing Mu Feng's expression, Asuna asked with some concern.

"Did you tell them that you're doing a quest with me?" Mu Feng asked.

"No! After meeting you, I haven't contacted anyone else!" Asuna immediately shook her head.

"That's good. Stars is a great guild, and you won't regret joining it!" Mu Feng smiled again. He was upset that Asuna, knowing the significant connection between him and Stars, did not immediately reveal her identity. However, he was not at all concerned that Asuna was a member of Stars; on the contrary, he trusted her even more!

"Right! I've never regretted joining! But because of what happened before... I didn't dare to explain it right away." Asuna was referring to the time when Mu Feng publicly refused to return to Stars on the forum.

"Let's go, continue forward!" Mu Feng thought that Asuna's sudden pause during their encounter might have been because she recognized his ID. This small episode ended, and the three sped forward, heading east to the Dungeon of Judgment. There, a guy named Devil Sander was waiting for them!

"Ding... Ding..." As they were moving forward, Asuna suddenly received a private message. However, she did not dare to answer it directly and looked at Mu Feng.

"Answer it. If you don't reply, they'll worry." Mu Feng did not stop Asuna from receiving the private message.

"Okay!" Asuna nodded and answered the private message. "Hello? Le... Leader. What's up?"

"What?" Unexpectedly, Asuna, who was originally calm, suddenly let out a cry after receiving the private message, seemingly hearing some shocking news.

"What's wrong?" Mu Feng immediately stopped the Black Obsidian Wings and asked Asuna curiously. Given his understanding of Asuna, she shouldn't have been so panicked; she must have received some shocking news.

"Just now... Just now our guild leader sent me a private message, saying that he received confirmed news that the heroes of the Dwarf and Barbarian races have been killed by the Dark Tribe and have exited the quest!" Asuna told Mu Feng.

"Indeed..." Without any news from those two heroes, Mu Feng knew they were in grave danger. It was impossible that the Dark Tribe was still scattered after the three of them had been together for so long. This way, the three of them were at a disadvantage against the four members of the Dark Tribe.

Moreover, the four members of the Dark Tribe had not shown up yet, clearly planning something. The process of obtaining the artifact clue from Fabregas was too easy, making Mu Feng suspicious. However, how did the four heroes of the Dark Tribe collaborate with the NPCs in the game?

"What do we do now?" Ye Luochengdie asked Mu Feng. The fall of the two heroes of the Light Alliance cast a shadow over their mission to head east and defeat Devil Sander.

"Continue with the original plan, but defeating Sander and obtaining the artifact is not the goal. We need to be vigilant and watch for any actions from the Dark Tribe. We must not give them any opportunity!" Indeed, it was clear that Mu Feng and his team were being manipulated by the Dark Tribe. If they blindly charged forward, they would surely fall into the Dark Tribe's trap or be used as pawns.

However, the good news was that the Dark Tribe's rogue had been eliminated by Ye Luochengdie. They were unlikely to have another rogue, making it difficult for them to track Mu Feng's team. As long as they were cautious and searched carefully, with Little Butterfly's stealth reconnaissance, there was a chance to find the four heroes of the Dark Tribe.

"Be prepared, this might be a task that takes two to three days!" Considering all the information, Mu Feng realized he had underestimated the task. Completing it in a dozen hours was impossible!

"I have no problem!" Asuna lowered her head and replied. "We can coordinate our online and offline times." For her, she hoped this task would never end!

"Cheer up, Mom!" Yui, who had flown out from Asuna's chest pocket, flew to Asuna's side and gently touched her cheek with her slender hand, wearing an indescribable smile. Asuna's face turned even redder, and she quickly lowered her head even more. Fortunately, the three were still on the move, and only Little Butterfly was curious about why Asuna suddenly lowered her head. Mu Feng, who was leading the way, did not notice!

About two to three kilometers behind Mu Feng and his team, a group of four people was chasing their tracks at high speed.

"Hey, Silver Bullet, you won't lose us, right?" One of the death knights riding a black undead warhorse asked the hunter player beside him.

"No way, our hunter's tracking skill can accurately track players several kilometers away. They won't escape!" A green-skinned, muscular orc hunter with large fangs said to the knight. His ID was actually called Silver Bullet, not Silver Sword. The orc's talent increased pet damage by 5%, making it very suitable for hunters and warlocks, who naturally have pets.

"Better be! This Melancholy Wind made both Autumn Sorrow and I suffer, he's not an easy opponent!" This guy was actually the one who was forced to retreat by Mu Feng's words in Thorn City and never showed up again—Musheng! Unexpectedly, he used the guild's resources to focus on leveling up and was the first to reach level 30! He became the hero of the Undead race!

In the Dungeon of Judgment, Musheng would surely face Mu Feng again!

PS: Hehe... Did everyone guess Asuna's identity? I think I made it quite obvious. Keep the positive reviews coming... The comments in the review section make me sad... Oh, a small bug, I previously wrote the rogue as an undead, I'll change it to a troll rogue later.
