Chapter 450: Treasure Trove
"You've found the cracked fountain already, Raid Leader?" Carmen asked curiously, wondering when he made a move.
"Did you forget my other skill?" Xu Feng whispered softly to her.
'Other skill?' Confused, Carmen furrowed her brows as she recalled him capable of summoning a creature but he had not used it.
She had thought that he simply didn't need to use the skill, but it seemed that he was secretly multi-tasking all along.
"Do you always do things secretly and not tell anyone else?" She smiled bitterly at his action.
Had he revealed it earlier, none of these doubts and skepticism would have occurred.
Meanwhile, Xu Feng simply shrugged in response. He was not a babysitter, and these players were considered elites themselves.
The ones who made a fool of themselves were none other than them for not only being impulsive but also their poor judgment and analytical ability.
"Shall we start making a move now, Raid Leader? The Burning Trail is expanding near the entry." Carmen inquired, her gaze locking at the ignition nearly reaching the important path.
"No rush." Xu Feng shook his head. "The others are not in a rush, so why should I be in a rush either?"
"Others are not in a rush?" Carmen repeated his words but was unable to comprehend his meaning.
There were always one or two, and sometimes three layers of meaning behind his words. And unless he decided to reveal them all, it would be hard for one to grasp his meaning.
While Carmen failed to comprehend his meaning, Xu Feng's eyes were focused on his map.
'I'm sure there must be some viewers feeding news to those saboteurs, so they should have informed them by now that we're trapped here.' He mused inwardly.
Indeed, there was one thing he had deceived his team. The one regarding why Iceheart could not communicate with her guild members. It wasn't that Xu Feng had such a privilege but rather he had utilized his Raid Leader authority and disabled her communication.
Within the Divine World, in a large-scale raid, the Raid Leader was the ultimate dictator in a sense and was capable of disabling his members' messages to avoid any distraction.
This was a part of the major update that the Divine World had secretly implemented aside from the other known updates that players were able to browse through the Game Forum.
Despite the fact that the feature was implemented to ensure a smooth riding experience for the Raid Leader in charge, only those who are meticulous were capable of discovering it.
And for now, with no one daring to even attempt a large-scale raid, it was a given that none had yet to discover this feature since the option was only available to the Raid Leader.
As Xu Feng scrutinized the map, he indeed spotted a few that were slowly falling behind in their exploration. The teams that were under the supervision of Gentle Wind, Herald Fist, Blake, and RavenKnight were fine. Everything and everyone was on track there, but the other team was not so much.
This was especially true on teams that had members consisting of Sky Hunters Adventure Team and Astral Guild.
However, that wasn't Xu Feng's main amusement. It was already expected that these groups of people would do something in the raid, but how they managed to do it was another matter.
'Let's see… the team under the supervision of those from Eternal Guild and Starlight Guild managed to let them slip past?' He knitted his brows before smirking coldly behind the mask.
It was indeed a surprising revelation that this guild had accepted a secret commission from the Reaver Guild.
"Carmen, I'm sending you a map directing you to the cracked fountain location. Have the rest follow you there and gather the water to cleanse the ignition caused by the Burning Trail." Xu Feng whispered softly to her.
Nodding, Carmen didn't even bother asking for the details.
"I still have a few offensive scrolls left. Do you need it?" She proceeded to offer him some more offensive capability.
Her direct action implied that she understood that he was going to detach from the team temporarily, but went around the bush and not say it aloud.
Appreciating her effort, Xu Feng lightly patted her shoulder and gestured for her to start moving.
Sometime later, Carmen clapped her hands and stepped forward. "Alright, everyone should have rested enough. We shall now head to the cracked fountain."
Before anyone could start asking questions, Carmen decisively pointed at OneManMedia.
Startled, OneManMedia wondered if he had done anything wrong to offend her. After the numerous harsh scoldings and lectures, OneManMedia was affected by the atmosphere despite being a cameraman.
In this scenario, not even the cameraman could be safe from anything.

As Carmen gestured her fingers to indicate OneManMedia to get closer to her, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and slowly walked toward her.
"Y-Yes, Guild Commander?" He asked nervously, referring to her as Guild Commander. He dared not challenge either hers or Xu Feng's authority at this moment.
Iceheart's misery and the result of her disobedience were clear as day for those who wanted to challenge them.
"The long-awaited time for the viewers to watch some of my showcases has commenced," Carmen announced and waved her hand, smiling sweetly at the viewers.
Instantly, those who were simps for Carmen since her first appearance had their hearts melted.

The comment section swiftly exploded within a steady stream of bullet comments appearing faster than the speed of light. Of course, it was an exaggeration, but OneManMedia's eyes nearly turned dizzy, similar to those in the cartoon with those swirling things in their eyes.
'As expected… Carmen's appearance is the key to opening a treasure trove.' OneManMedia smiled silly at the numerous castles that exceeded its original number.
Similarly, the rest also turned solemn when Carmen announced that she was going to take the mantle. Unbeknownst to them, Xu Feng had already secretly retreated through the entry passage amidst the commotion.
