As he walked, Li Yao asked, “What kind of boss is it? Why do they need to ask me? Let them go fight if they want, I’m not interested in helping them to fight bosses.”

There are plenty of members in the guild, and the number is continually increasing. If he had to assist each of them to fight bosses, he might as well not do anything else. That’s not the right precedent to set.

“No, it’s not like you think. This boss is something special.” Sister Li shook her head and explained.

“A special boss? Is it from a transportation team?” Li Yao asked, surprised.

“How did you know?” This time, it was Sister Li who was surprised.

“I had to know about this when setting up the guild,” Li Yao responded.

The so-called transportation team is a monster transport team, often referred as Cash Cow.

Apart from the three major camps, there are other forces as well, such as trolls, pirates, centaurs, werewolves, Naga, Murlocs, and many other species.

Due to their intelligence or other reasons, they’re basically hostile to the three major factions and are regarded as monsters by players.

However, they’re intelligent too. For instance, the troll fortress mission that Li Yao just finished, they have already belonged to the category of advanced civilization.

The transportation team is actually a troop that delivers goods from one faction to others. Although they isolate themselves from the three major camps, they have their own communication methods and aren’t isolated.

Just like these monsters continuously plunder the goods of the three major factions, the three factions also offer rewards for their transportation teams.

To wipe out one of these teams often brings three benefits.

Firstly, transportation teams generally consist of silver knights and bosses; killing them yields drops of gear.

The second benefit is the collection of material goods – it’s like looting a treasure chest. What you get is entirely up to luck.

In his past life, Li Yao knew of the most extravagant haul, which was several carts of gold coins and gems. This treasure even sparked a war amongst several guilds.

The third advantage is that you’ll be rewarded by the current faction and earn military merits.

However, the only problem is that these transportation teams are usually strong, usually consisting of dozens, if not hundreds, of silver knights and even a few bosses, making them incredibly tough to defeat.

Ordinary players usually have no contact with transportation teams and often sell any information they have to guilds.

Usually, only guilds can handle transportation teams, and it often becomes a guild event.

“This transportation team is formidable. According to Mu Zi, two second-level guilds have already attempted to challenge them but have been defeated,” Sister Li said, sending Li Yao some screenshots and a video.

“Damn, a Naga transportation team, with at least six to seven hundred members. No wonder they’re so formidable,” Li Yao said, surprised.

In ancient times, the Naga was an upper elf, and the ancient high elves were also considered upper elves. Strictly speaking, the Naga and high elves are the same race.

Furthermore, high elves and Naga are closer than the ancient elves, as the ancient elves were commoners and the upper elves the ruling class.

However, after the wars of old, some upper elves were engulfed by a catastrophe into the deepest parts of the ocean, while the ancestors of the high elves were stranded on the East Continent, and have subsequently been referred to as high elves.

The upper elves that sank to the ocean floor were blessed, or cursed, by an old god to become Naga, their bodies adorned with scales and a serpent tail.

They received significant enhancements to their combat abilities and constitution, surpassing normal levels.

The Naga are the rulers of the ocean, with Murlocs merely their slaves. Many Murloc tribes worship the Naga as gods, emphasizing the Naga’s status in the ocean.

More importantly, the Naga are wealthy; many oceanic special products are extremely rare and valuable. Therefore, the transportation teams are highly valuable.

After watching a video, Li Yao said, “The combat effectiveness of the Naga is superb. It’s not easy to deal with so many silver knights. However, fortunately, there is only one boss. Although it’s incredibly formidable, I can control it. Without the threat of the boss, do you think our guild can handle these silver knights?”

“The main problem with this transport team is the boss; its group attack spell is too overpowered and can instantly kill the main tank. If you can hold off this boss, there should be no problem. Don’t forget, our guild members are elite players, they are not comparable to ordinary second-tier guilds. If there is one issue, it’s probably coordination,” Sister Li said.

“Well, coordination can be honed during combat. Alright, gather the members. Let’s do this for once and let everybody benefit.” With so many silver knights, there would definitely be plenty of valuable drops to distribute. As for the materials, it was all up to luck.

“Guild Announcement: All members please note, gather immediately at the guild’s base in Undercity.”

Though the members had no idea what was going on, they quickly gave up what they were doing, used Hearthstone, and teleported to the guild headquarters.

In less than ten minutes, nearly a thousand people had assembled.

“This is the guild’s first activity. Once you join the team, your private chat will be disabled. We’ve got a big operation to handle.”

Without saying anything else, Li Yao led the members towards the Flying Mount transport area.

“Damn, your slogan is like that of a looter going into action. Can you be more eloquent?” Guardian Angel complained.

“We’re going to loot, what can be more eloquent about that?” Dim pupil rolled her eyes at Guardian Angel.

Everyone quickly mounted their flying mounts and took off in a black swarm.

The elites were having a private conversation. “I feel like something’s amiss about this,” Fruit Knight said.

“Dear, so you noticed it too,” Guardian Knight said. “I always feel something strange about this, but I don’t know what’s wrong.”

Dim pupil thought for a moment and said, “Yeah, it’s weird. Little brother, what do you think?”

Shadow Dance, who had also been promoted to an elite profession, scratched his head and said, “I haven’t thought about it much. I just do what the boss says.”

Li Yao, Qin Feng Yi, and Sister Li glanced at each other. Sister Li said, “So you noticed it too?”

“What do you mean?” Guardian Angel asked confusingly.

“You’re still considering things from the perspective of individual players. If you switch to a guild, it’s different.” Qin Feng Yi stated. “Mu Zi said that two secondary guilds have already tried it, but if Mu Zi received this news, what about the bigger guilds? Even if not all guilds have received the news, there must be some that know about it. However, why haven’t they acted, and why are they indifferent to it?”

Guardian Angel’s face changed, “You mean, they deliberately lured us over there.”

Seeing the trio nod, Dim pupil asked in confusion, “Then why are we still going? Isn’t this obviously a trap?”

Li Yao laughed and said, “Those guilds have been unhappy with us for a long time. This battle is inevitable. Rather than letting them sneak attacks on us, it’s better to make them think that we’ve fallen into their trap, and have a good fight with them.”…
