Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1402: Sunrise Inner City Part 19

A few minutes after the conversation with Zhao Kai regarding the tea problem, Xu Feng was left in a defeated state.

’Ugh, I forgot about his journey with Dawnshire City.’ He furrowed his brows. He miscalculated this aspect, which was why he didn’t bother to warn Zhao Kai about the tea issue.

After all, there weren’t many players who were absent during the tea crisis.

The Colossuses specifically targeted plantations that had high yield chances of ingredients used to produce crops or medical herbs with amazing properties.

They were monsters, alright. But their intelligence was by no means small at all.

In a war, anything that could help recover or buff people was extremely annoying to deal with. The top priority was to naturally sabotage such things to prevent any prolonged or sustained battles.

And in this particular case, the Colossuses really succeeded in ruining most of the human NPC’s plantation, causing severe shortages in supplies and massive inflation.

It was also why some Human NPCs resorted to being spies for the Colossuses because they didn’t just destroy the plantation.

Instead, these damnable Colossuses also took in the crops and planted them in their own conquered lands.

Those who were left starving could only jump to the Colossuses side and be fed. As for the cost, just some landscape regarding their place, and they would be reassured of their livelihood.

To those who only wish to survive, they naturally wouldn’t care about some grand glory of humanity type of bullshit.

"Is there something wrong, Guild Leader?" Veronica approached him and asked when he suddenly turned silent. His silence seemed to scare the rest of the members way more than his scolding from earlier.

"Hmm, I didn’t even say anything though." Unaware of how scary his silence was, Xu Feng appeared somewhat confused by Veronica’s question.

All he did was reply to Zhao Kai, and that the latter would be punished heavily later on.

It wasn’t like he planned on gatekeeping these Fragrance Teas anyway.

Once the cultivation of the land succeeded, he would have an abundant amount to sell to others anyway.

"You’re scaring the others with your complete silence." Veronica frowned and lightly chided him to mind his behavior.

Doesn’t he know how many people paid attention to his every movement?

"I’ll be more mindful in the future." Xu Feng accepted the constructive criticism and would try to avoid this kind of misunderstanding.

He wouldn’t be offended whatsoever, granted that Veronica was concerned about the guild members’ mentality.

"Should we get moving then?" Veronica asked, clearly understanding his intention. This pit stop was never meant for a break, but for a harsh lecture to remind the members of the dangers outside.

At the same time, it helped him learn and study his guild members’ abilities.

After all, Xu Feng had been absent from the guild for a while in terms of teaming or collaborating with other members aside from the top ranks.

Therefore, he needed information and data regarding everyone at present in real-time rather than some documents.

Xu Feng wasn’t surprised that his intention was seen through by her. Given the amount of administration work she had done, her perception had improved by leaps and bounds.

Shortly after Veronica returned to her spot and informed Carmen about the situation, Xu Feng stepped forward to face the crowd.

"Alright, everyone, get up! We’ll be storming through the region and arrive at the dungeon in about 15 minutes!"

As soon as he finished talking, the rest of the members got up and began to giddy up to their mounts.

Meanwhile, Xu Feng went to Carmen and inquired about the map.

"Did you check out the surroundings?" He asked.

"I did." Carmen nodded. "I’ve sent the current map details to you in dm. I’ve linked it with my voidlings to continuously update it every 5 seconds. It costs a bit of money to enable the feature, so will I be reimbursed?"

Xu Feng smiled bitterly. He was to blame for her money-grubbing attitude.

Even though she never lacked money, she became so accustomed to charging people’s fees whenever or wherever she could.

Still, the joke didn’t delay their journey at all.

15 minutes later...

"Ho!" Xu Feng reined the horse to stop right in front of a gloomy ruin.

The rest soon stopped their horses as well, clearly awaiting further orders from him.

Although the majority were confused by the gloomy ruin that seemed to have nothing around, they didn’t dare to open their mouths to ask the question.

After all, Xu Feng’s demeanor and expression had turned extremely serious.

Not a single individual attempted to disturb him when they saw this. Instead, they quietly dismounted and waited by the side.

Little did they know, their decision was a clever one. Because at this moment, Xu Feng was filled with frustration, and his patience was running thin.

And the culprit of it?

The system message!

[System Notification: You have discovered Sunrise Inner City! Due to special circumstances and the unexpected discovery, only EXTREME Mode is available for the raid!]

This system message was a direct slap to the face regarding him always being the pioneer.

It was clear that the Divine World System had noticed him constantly discovering things faster than others and thus imposed such a restriction.

Extreme Mode difficulty... this mode doesn’t even come up until the late stages of the 3rd major update.

They were still around the early stage in the 2nd major update and closing in on the middle stage.

So how could Xu Feng not be frustrated by this obstacle??!

’Damn it, this system knows how precious the Sunrise Inner City is, so they purposely block me!’ He cursed silently. He hadn’t lost his temper in ages, and this had got to be one of them.

He scratched his head and appeared somewhat hysterical.

Maybe because so many things had gone wrong lately, or the pressure had been overwhelming as of late. But Xu Feng was really starting to get tired.

"Everyone starts to defend the surrounding area and avoid this area for now." Right at this moment, both Carmen and Veronica took the lead and instructed the members to scatter.
