The dense forest surrounds the valley.

As the leading Two-headed Lizardman stepped out of the transport vehicle, Luo Wushang and others waiting by the roadside followed suit.

"The Hall Master actually came in person. It seems this caravan really triggers the storyline," Zhang Qingwei remarked, looking at the ten transport vehicles parked there, feeling somewhat regretful. "This action really turned out to be a loss. We didn't earn a penny and wasted quite a bit of time. We should have taken a different route sooner."

Earlier, they had made a deal with Yiye Fuyun. They received the transportation route map, but the gains had to be divided with Yiye Fuyun. However, on the chosen route, before they could successfully raid a few times, a Two-headed Lizardman capable of speaking appeared, demanding to meet the leader for negotiations.

This left them unable to make a move.

"It's not too bad, though. Even though there wasn't much gain, we were the first team to advance the main storyline. We might discover some useful information," Luo Wushang said, unconcerned, as she watched the Two-headed Lizardman walk towards Lin Qi. "Nowadays, these trade caravans are becoming increasingly cunning. Whenever they spot us, they leave a large group of people behind, speed up the convoy, and the gains are becoming less and less."

"I reckon it won't be long before the transportation route map obtained by Yiye Fuyun becomes obsolete. After all, no game company will allow such a loophole to persist indefinitely, letting us grow unchecked. Following the main storyline is the way to go."

"True, I wonder what updates this main storyline will bring this time," Zhang Qingwei mused, recalling a previous caravan of over thirty people. Her group of six managed to seize half of the goods under the condition that each of them died once. After deducting the consumed Type Two Energy Potion, compared to previous times, the gains were indeed dwindling.

To date, they had managed to gather only five hundred thousand Contribution, enough to become Core Disciples. However, raising Red Moon Town's reputation to Admiration required much more from their team of six.

"Since this main storyline involves trading with extra-terrestrial merchants, I conjecture that the Martial Arts Hall might introduce many new items this time," Twilight of the Gods adjusted his non-existent glasses and analyzed. "Perhaps the Hall will sell Type Three Potions, along with Tier Two Battle Armor and Tier Two Weapons from the Wraith Mountain Range. I think we should sell off a batch of our Tier Two Battle Armor and Weapons while their prices are still high; once the Hall starts selling them, the prices will likely plummet significantly."

"That seems likely," Luo Wushang nodded. "Once we get back, we should quickly offload our surplus Tier Two Battle Armor and Weapons."

Currently, Tier Two Battle Armor and Weapons produced by the Wraith Mountain Range are in great demand and selling rapidly. Many newly entered wealthy players want to buy a set to kickstart a perfect game experience, directly skipping the tedious beginner phase and soloing the wilderness to experience monster hunting.

Tier Two Battle Armor can enhance Strength by six tons, equivalent to the level of an Extreme High Tier Martial Artist of the Strength Series, capable of sweeping through the wilderness surrounding Chasing Light City.

It's often said that starting without Tier Two Battle Armor is like playing two entirely different games.

Of course, to fully exploit the effects of Tier Two Battle Armor, players need to become Martial Artists; the armor is quite heavy, and while it boosts Strength and Speed, even greatly enhancing reflexes, operating it still requires one's own Strength, essentially making it growth-enhancing equipment that caps at the Martial Artist level.

Meanwhile, as Luo Wushang and her companions chatted at the back, the Two-headed Lizardman leading the group discreetly signaled the fifteen high-tier Bone Forging Realm guards with him to keep a close eye on Luo Wushang and the others. At the slightest sign of trouble, they were to immediately block one each, allowing him to escape swiftly.

However, at that moment, these Bone Forging Realm guards from the Celestial River Region thought their boss was being overly cautious.

Only six High Tier Martial Artists, they thought. Although the Gray Coat people's reputation in the Wraith Mountain Range is substantial, posing a significant threat face-to-face, they had a hundred Bone Forging Realm experts on their side. No matter how powerful those six could be, they couldn't possibly turn the tables in front of their high-tier Bone Forging Realm fighters.

Yet, the Two-headed Lizardman remained unconcerned.

For he alone in the caravan knew the true capabilities of the Gray Coat people. Others only knew them as being notorious for ambushing numerous caravans in the Wraith Mountain Range.

"To alter one's combat prowess during battle – who would've thought the Human Race was that kind of species? Had I known, I should've nurtured more human geniuses earlier," the Two-headed Lizardman pondered, recalling the footage of the Gray Coat people he'd reviewed before coming, still feeling a chill down his spine.

A few martial artist Gray Coat people even brazenly dared to rob caravans escorted by several dozen Bone Forging Realm experts, a sight that would have seemed laughable to anyone.

Yet, in the end, nearly half of the Bone Forging Realm experts were killed, and the few martial artist Gray Coat people fought ferociously until their last breath, adopting a completely reckless fighting style.

But the most astonishing aspect was that these Gray Coat individuals could transform, and after transformation, each martial artist Gray Coat person had powers reaching at least the level of extreme Bone Forging Realm high-tier martial artists. Some were so strong they mastered Extraordinary Martial Techniques, comparable to a city's Deputy City Lord.

Deputy City Lord level experts!

Only a few of them exist in a city, yet the numbers of these elite Gray Coat people attack the caravans in wave after wave, entirely annihilating those escorted by dozens of Bone Forging Realm experts, appearing to be completely insane.
