Soon, the president of the Knight's Sanctuary, Chen Wuming, learned about Qin Xiaoyou's discovery.
He was quite pleased; it seemed this "money-losing venture" might actually be useful!
"Recently, we've only found a Silver-tier hideout, which is far from enough for our guild members."
"We need at least a Gold-tier or even Platinum-tier hideout, right?"
"Let's hope what Xiaoyou found is a Gold-tier or higher hideout!"
Chen Wuming smiled with satisfaction.
He privately messaged Qin Xiaoyou, "Well done. If it's confirmed to be a hideout, the guild will reward you."
"Thank you, President~" Qin Xiaoyou replied happily...
Soon, Chen Wuming led hundreds of Knight's Sanctuary members from all directions toward the entrance of the Land of Purification.
They drove away all the solo players in the surrounding area!
He planned to send a team to explore first.
Then ensure that when attacking the hideout, no other players would come to interfere.
...
Qin Feng logged in after eating.
Satisfied and full, he was ready to return to the Evil Spirit Academy.
He had many Emerald-tier equipment and skill books stored there, and now with Bafitch's Equivalent Exchange Agreement, he could sacrifice equipment or skill books from other classes and convert them into Assassin items!
When he put on the leggings, he found they were a pair of pitch-black, lightweight leather leggings, with a peculiar energy converging within.
There was also a power that could stabilize his mind, enveloping him.
Qin Feng knew...
This was the effect of the special attribute 'Whisper Resistance'!
Equipment at the Diamond-tier has a chance to come with special attributes.
These special attributes are called 'Superior Affixes.'
For example, Whisper/Whisper Resistance, Instant Death/Instant Death Resistance, Wither/Wither Resistance... and many more.
Take 'Whisper' for instance.
Basically, any Diamond-tier BOSS, and some special BOSSes, are associated with remnants of ancient gods.
Their attacks and skills, once hitting a player, will start accumulating a 'Whisper Gauge' on the player.
Even just being near them will cause the Whisper Gauge to rise continuously.
Once the Whisper Gauge reaches 100%, the player will fall into a state of being entangled by whispers, losing their sanity!
Among these superior affixes, the 'Instant Death' affix is the most straightforward.
Some BOSS attacks will cause players to accumulate an 'Instant Death Gauge,' and once it reaches 100%, they will die instantly!
The corresponding 'Resistance' attribute can reduce the accumulation speed of the respective status gauge.
Additionally, if out of combat, the corresponding resistance attribute can also accelerate the gauge's decay speed.
"Normally, Abandoned Gods Game players shouldn't encounter superior affixes so early..."
"Even Diamond-tier BOSSes with superior affixes are rare."
Qin Feng wasn't too concerned.
The more of these attributes, the better; there's no downside...
Qin Feng mounted the ghost wolf and rushed back at top speed.
He planned to teleport directly to the Magic Metropolis Ruins, but just as he was approaching the teleportation array at the Jianghai City Ruins, the system suddenly sent a notification!
——
[Your hideout 'Land of Purification' is under attack!]
[Current entrance stone door durability: 99.9% (sustaining damage)!]
[Current magic defense barrier durability: 100%]
[Would you like to use 'War Teleport'?]
(War Teleport uses today: 1/1)
——
This system notification surprised Qin Feng.
"The Land of Purification is under attack?"
Qin Feng frowned.
When your hideout is under attack, you can use the 'War Teleport' function to teleport directly back to the attacked hideout!
This function can only be used once a day.
So, to avoid being unable to return at a critical moment, Qin Feng hadn't used this function before.
"No."
Qin Feng chose 'No.'
It wasn't because the situation wasn't urgent, but because he was already nearby, so there was no need to use the once-a-day 'War Teleport' opportunity.
He turned the wolf around and headed directly to the area where the entrance to the Land of Purification was located!
The ghost wolf was fast.
But as he got closer, Qin Feng dismounted in advance...
After all, the ghost wolf only had a level 1 stealth level, which at this stage, was easily detectable.
When he arrived in the area alone, maintaining stealth and becoming a shadow, he witnessed a classic scene.
Six members of the Knight's Sanctuary guild were chasing down a team of common players!
"We said this area is reserved by our Knight's Sanctuary, no outsiders allowed!"
"You still want to force your way in, are you tired of living?"
"Honey, put up an ice wall to block them!"
"Wall of Frost!"
Guild reservation?
Qin Feng was speechless, this was too cliché, a must-have scene in online game novels before his transmigration!
The six Knight's Sanctuary players had a complete setup of tank, healer, and DPS.
One of them, a young female mage with a blue robe and a popular internet celebrity face, raised her hand with a mocking expression and cast a ten-meter-long ice wall in front of the six common players!
The ice wall emitted a chill, directly putting the six players into a 50% slow state!
Among the six common players, there were both men and women.
One of them, a girl with a single ponytail, looked pure and cute, and her face turned pale as she said weakly, "We were just passing by, we didn't mean to force our way in..."
Next to her, another long-haired woman was strong and angry, "You Knight's Sanctuary people, if you want to kill and rob, just say it, don't make excuses, pretending to be virtuous!"
"If I say you want to force your way in, then you want to force your way in."
In the Knight's Sanctuary team, a young berserker with yellow hair sneered, and after saying this, he wielded his double-bladed axe and leaped into the crowd!
Boom boom!
The terrifying shockwave from the leap attack sent all six players flying!
As they were about to be killed by the ensuing skills...
Suddenly, without any warning, a blood-red blade light appeared on four of the Knight's Sanctuary members!
As the blade light blossomed...
The yellow-haired berserker, the internet celebrity-faced female mage, and two other players with 'Slayer' tags died on the spot!
This sudden situation left the remaining fat priest and a middle-aged shield warrior dumbfounded.
The fat priest exclaimed in the team channel, "Damn, is it the Crotch Hero? That guy is causing trouble again?"
In the team channel, the yellow-haired berserker who had been killed soon roared, "Crotch Hero my ass, it's Shadow! We were all killed by Shadow!!"
The fat priest breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought so, when did the Crotch Hero's damage become enough to one-shot you guys... Wait, hold on, who did you say? Shadow? Hiss—"
The fat priest's face quickly turned pale.
The middle-aged shield warrior held a round shield, retreated to a ruined wall, and shivered, "Wasn't Shadow developing in the Magic City? Why is he back?"
At this moment, Qin Feng's figure emerged from the shadows.
His face was covered with a black veil, revealing only his cold eyes. With a casual wave, flowers of death bloomed on the corpses of the four guys.
He began to siphon their life force!
Since the Slayer status was about to reach the fifth level, Qin Feng didn't plan to go on a killing spree unless necessary.
If he attracted that NPC...
Honestly, Qin Feng couldn't defeat it either!
So, Qin Feng planned to resolve this matter 'peacefully'!
Now Qin Feng knew that the people attacking the Land of Purification were from the Knight's Sanctuary.
"In that case, Chen Wuming, you're not leaving today without paying a price..."
Qin Feng thought to himself.
So, he first took out four 'Slayers' from the team, slightly reducing his own slaughter value, and then 'peacefully negotiated' with the remaining two!
"Call your president here."
As usual, Qin Feng activated the voice changer and spoke coldly.
"Yes, big boss, I'll call our president over right away!"
The fat priest immediately stood at attention, looking obedient.
Meanwhile.
"Damn, it's Shadow!!"
"Wow, it's really my idol, my idol actually saved me!!"
The six-player team saved by Qin Feng, when they recovered from the floating state and saw the situation, became instantly excited.
Only the cute and gentle single-ponytail girl was stunned when she saw 'Shadow' appear...
Although Qin Feng had the Face Concealment Function on.
But when the girl saw Qin Feng's eyes, they seemed so familiar.
"Is it... Qin Feng?"
"It shouldn't be..."
"If it were, he wouldn't leave his younger sister behind..."
"Sigh, I guess I've been thinking about him too much lately, I wonder how he's been doing..."
The girl's mood was bitter.
She was Yang Xiaoya.
Originally Qin Feng's colleague.
Qin Feng had only helped her casually because he saw her.
However...
Qin Feng didn't know that this girl almost recognized him just by seeing him in the game!
To know, even Qin Xiaoyou had no feeling when she saw him before!
It showed that over the years, Qin Xiaoyou hadn't cared about Qin Feng at all.
Her understanding of Qin Feng was even less than a female colleague at Qin Feng's company who secretly admired him...
Of course, Qin Feng didn't know Yang Xiaoya's thoughts, nor could he reveal his identity to her, as it wouldn't be good for either of them.
After Qin Feng spoke to the fat priest of the Knight's Sanctuary, soon, the president of the Knight's Sanctuary, Chen Wuming, arrived with over a hundred guild members, riding a leopard war beast.
It looked imposing.
But when they reached Qin Feng, Chen Wuming immediately waved his hand.
The hundred guild members behind him shouted in unison, "Welcome, Brother Shadow! Brother Shadow, may you rule the world forever!!"
Then, Chen Wuming asked flatteringly, "Big brother, do you need something from me? Did someone in our guild offend you? Just say the word, and I'll kick them out of the guild immediately! If they don't comply, I'll kick them out of the PY too!"
This guy still didn't know that the hideout he was attacking was actually 'Shadow's' hideout!
