After quitting the team, the adventurers regretted it

Chapter 277: Killing the Ghost Deputy Leader, Linda demands compensation

This level 33 berserker put more pressure on Linda than the paper tiger-like Kam.

The [potential] of the star steps swept over, and the surrounding gravity suddenly increased hundreds of times.

The tip of the royal sword in Linda's hand fell to the ground with a bang, and his feet fell into the bluestone tiles of the fighting platform.

He didn't dare to be careless and quickly made himself a new green shield.

This group of veterans, without respecting martial ethics, sent a level 33 berserker to sneak attack their level 26 support!

Everyone in the audience reacted quickly.

Luanweihua's two star-level team members were furious on the spot!

Tasia's face was covered with frost, and murderous intent rolled in her green eyes.

A black suitcase appeared out of thin air and was quickly assembled into a Gatling-like magic cannon.

The fighting spirit of the wind entered the interior along the precise array. Tasia held the magic cannon in her hand, the honeycomb-shaped barrel lit up, and the fighting spirit fired away in a hail of bullets!

Lulu's hands turned into ferocious beast claws, shooting towards the fighting platform like arrows, and attacked Nacho with the 'Frost Wolf Iron Claw' move!

Nacho never expected that Luanweihua's people would react so quickly. The double-edged ax barely caught Lulu's attack. His footsteps scraped the ground and he was pushed eight meters away.

The berserker couldn't help but be shocked: in terms of breath perception, the werewolf girl was much weaker than him, only at level 31. But the strength is almost the same as his own.

Before he had time to think about it, the bullets from the magic cannon fell. Nacho resisted with a life barrier. The rain of bullets hit it, the barrier shook violently, and Nacho vomited blood from his mouth.

The barrier is connected to the source core, which is the most important thing for adventurers. Every time it is damaged, it will cause damage to Nacho.

Lulu took advantage of the situation and gave chase. Nacho's frightened expression was reflected in her cold eyes. She raised her claws and aimed at Nacho's neck.

At this time, Nacho was shocked and angry. He was surprised that these two star-level players were so powerful. He was not sure of defeating either of them, but he was angry.

He just glanced at Linda, but both Lulu and Tasia looked like they were going to kill him!

This is not the case!

The people in the Adventure Guild seemed to be "blind" and did not stop Lulu and the others from attacking Nacho.

It was Nacho who broke the rules first, and he deserved to be counterattacked by Luanweihua's people.

Within seconds, Tasia and Lulu beat Nacho back repeatedly. The strong man's chest was covered with vomited blood, and his eyes were filled with fear.

Obviously, the strength of Tasia and Lulu is beyond Nacho's imagination!

From Linda's perspective, the berserker had lost almost 8000 blood.

He looks quite energetic, worthy of being level 33.

"Stop it all!"

Rhodes, the leader of Panshi, couldn't stand it any longer. He roared, and his body of nearly 300 kilograms was like a cannonball, which was shot into the center of the arena.

"The outcome of this duel has been decided, and I ask for it to be suspended!"

Rhodes was worthy of his status as a steel-level leader. He directly blocked Lulu's attack with his fierce combat power. With a fierce swing of his right arm, Lulu hugged her knees and spun around several times in the air before she neutralized the impact and landed on the ground.

‘This man is better than me. ’

A trace of solemnity flashed in Lulu's eyes.

The members of Ghost and Panshi also came to the stage one after another.

Abner frowned and led Gale and Kit onto the stage.

On the fighting stage, the smell of gunpowder filled the air, as if an ordinary duel had escalated into a competition between three steel-level adventure groups!

The staff knew the importance. A steel-level civil war was definitely something the Baige City officials did not want to see. She coughed and said:

"You have to shout out to admit defeat. Also, if the ghost interferes with the duel, you will be punished accordingly."

After hearing this, Linda's eyes darkened and she admitted defeat. How could she make Cam admit defeat?

His plan is to kill Cam!

Linda will not leave anyone alive who dares to attack Luanweihua.

To be kind to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself.

His mind raced, searching for a way to kill Cam.

Seeing Linda's indifferent expression, Rhodes shouted in his heart that something was wrong.

This young adventurer was only level 26, but the threat he gave Rhodes was higher than many star levels.

"Cam, hurry up, admit defeat now!"

Don't give that Linda a chance.

Rhodes thought anxiously.

He turned back to urge Cam.

The sight in front of him made Rhodes' expression change.

Cam's eyes were filled with hatred, and the flesh on his face was shaking crazily with anger.

"An ant dares to hurt me, you bastard, you bastard...!"

"Linda, I want you to die!"

Cam rushed towards Linda with an angry look. At this moment, Cam could no longer hold back. His level 30 star-level aura completely exploded. He held the long knife in his left hand, the magic circuit in his body was running at full speed, and his whole body was ignited with black flames.

Rhodes looked at Cam in astonishment. That was Cam's special move, [Demon Slash].

The laws of the empire expressly stipulate that in duels between adventurers, special moves are not allowed to be used. Special moves are extremely damaging. Once used, they will either die or be injured. All special moves should be used on monsters.

In the city, unleashing special moves in front of everyone is tantamount to flouting the laws of the empire.

Even if moon-level and light-level adventurers come, they can't protect Cam from being completely crazy!

‘This idiot! ’

Rhodes was furious and stretched out his hand to stop Cam.

But unexpectedly, Gale took the lead.

A blast of wind magic blew Rhodes away, forcing the irrational Cam to attack Linda.

In fact, when Cam rushed out, his intestines were filled with regret.

He was blocked by Rhodes' group and did not see how many Star Rankers were standing next to Linda.

Among them is the level 39 [Mind's Eye] Abner who is the ceiling of Baige City's combat power.

This wave of short-sighted rhinos charged forward, and only when they got in front of them did they realize that they were a herd of elephants.

Cam was immediately confused.

Abner's expression was calm, and he seemed not to feel the threat posed by Cam.

His right hand reached for the long knife at his waist.

It was a weapon that looked a bit like a samurai sword. The handle was white and wrapped with circles of black cloth.

Not too many fancy decorations, simple and capable.

But the magic fluctuations on this long knife are impossible to ignore.

With such a big boss around, Linda didn't worry about being hurt by Cam at all.

Only a flash of cold light was seen.

Cam's remaining left arm flew up.

With a snap, it fell to the ground like a large piece of trash.

Cam lost his balance and fell down.

There was no fear, shock, or anger on Cam's face.

He just looked at his 'hands' blankly.

"It's your own fault." Abner put away the knife and said in a calm voice.

Rhodes closed his eyes and sighed.

Reporters were snapping photos of Cam to record this extremely clownish scene.

Cam sat on his knees on the ground, dazed for a moment, then laughed wildly.

"My hand is gone, my left hand is gone, hahahaha! My hand is gone, hahaha!"

Looking at Cam who had gone crazy, Linda had no sympathy. She calmly walked up to Cam and raised the royal sword.

"If you don't follow martial ethics and attack me with a special attack, according to Article 61 of the Adventurer Act, I have the right to execute you."

"Wait, he's still a kid—"

Rhodes still wanted to quibble.

Even though Cam is 46 years old, he is still immature.

How can you seriously argue with such a person?

However, Linda would not let accidents happen again.

The sword of the royal family cut it down cleanly.

puff!

Bright red ketchup squirts.

Cam regained consciousness for a moment before dying and shouted in fear: "Brother, save me!"

Unfortunately it was too late.    When Cam provoked Linda, the outcome was already doomed.

A big head rolled to Rhodes' feet.

"He's still a child."

Rhodes muttered to himself.

The strong man held his smooth forehead, helpless and heartbroken.

Even though Cam is a loser, he is still his good friend and the younger brother of Herus.

Cam's death made Rhodes angry.

But looking at Abner in front of him, Rhodes calmed down his anger.

Linda killed Cam with his own hands, bringing the duel to an end.

Reporters took photos.

Cam became the first Star Ranker to be killed by an adventurer below level 30.

The special attack on Linda was even more humiliating.

Even if Cam is killed, no one can accuse Linda of the crime.

"Let's go!" Rhodes took a deep breath, picked up Cam's head and body, and planned to leave.

"and many more."

Linda said: "Interfering with the fighting arena almost killed me. We can't just let it go."

"What 'almost killed you'? Nacho just glanced at you!" Rhodes was stunned and became furious.

"You're not me, how do you know if I'm scared to death?"

"The 33rd star level puts too much pressure on me."

"You think I'm okay, but in fact I've lost half my life a long time ago!"

Linda pointed at Nacho expressionlessly: "It's reasonable to let him lose half his life, right?"

When Nacho heard this, the internal injury that he had finally suppressed almost recurred again.

Reasonable?

What a fart!

He just glared at Linda and was seriously injured by two of Linda's team members.

Now Linda wants half of his life.

Just let him die!

More than that.

Nacho looked at Cam's body, his heart growing colder.

When Herus is released from prison, he will never be spared lightly.

The future is bleak.

Unexpectedly, Rhodes stepped forward at this time.

"Linda, just tell me what kind of compensation you want!" Rhodes said coldly.

Linda thought for a while and said, "I am the victim. It is more reasonable for you to propose the compensation price, right?"

Rhodes just wanted to put an end to the matter quickly.

After some debate, the two parties decided that Ghost should pay Linda 100 million gold for mental damages.

This amount can be said to be very large. Ghost's annual income is only 100 million gold coins.

Not only did their deputy leader die, but they also had to compensate Linda.

Except for a few slaves who were directly controlled by Herus, the other group members were all livid with anger.

But in front of reporters' cameras, they had to comfort Linda with soft words and let her go back to live a good life.

In the afternoon, Linda and others strode out of the arena.

They went to a nearby business store, took the mental damage compensation paid by the ghost, and spent a lot of money to buy 1000 bronze-level World Tree Fruits.

Not long after the opening of the fifth-level secret realm, the bronze tree fruit experienced a small increase in production.

Coupled with Linda's reputation as an honorary adventurer, the trading company took the initiative to offer profits and lowered the price to 95 gold coins.

This is equivalent to Linda saving 5 gold and buying 1000 bronze tree fruits.

Just like its name, the leaves of this fruit have a brownish bronze texture. When your nose comes closer to smell it, the aroma of the fruit hits your face, and it contains rich magical fluctuations.

Overall, it looks a bit like an apple.

Linda gave one to each of the team members, and they took a carriage and ate on the way back to the villa.

[System prompt: Taking the Bronze Level World Tree Fruit will increase 1 experience point per second for 1000 seconds. 】

One tree fruit seems to add 1000 experience points.

Linda felt that her stomach was still very empty, so she took out a paper bag filled with bronze tree fruits from the space ring and continued to eat.

It wasn't until the 10th time that I burped, feeling like I couldn't eat anymore.

Linda glanced at the personal interface. The increase rate of experience points increased from 1 point per second to 10 points per second.

In other words, he can get an additional 10000 experience points guaranteed every day by eating the fruit of the World Tree.

But for ordinary adventurers, taking the fruit of the World Tree requires practice and transformation. The higher the level, the higher the difficulty of transformation.

If you keep relying on the Fruit of the World Tree to upgrade, you will be stuck forever after reaching a certain bottleneck.

The body becomes dependent on the fruit, and the future career of an adventurer is directly ruined.

You can eat, but not too much.

Therefore, Linda only gave Monica and the others three.

"Three team members consume 3 bronze berries every day, and I consume 9. That's 10 in one month, which is almost 570 gold coins. There are also rewards for the team members, although they don't plan to ask for them, but they still have to be given."

"Lulu is a star level, with a guaranteed monthly remuneration of 10 gold. Tasia has not officially joined the team, so she will only be paid a maid-level remuneration, Monica is 3 gold, and Kafeni is 1 gold."

"The villa's 'magic fee', heating, etc., all added up, the monthly expenditure is at least about 72 gold coins."

Linda did some calculations on the carriage, her face a little ugly.

If he hadn't gotten 100 million gold coins from Ghost, he really wouldn't have enough money.

Currently, there is 110 million gold remaining on the savings card.

After eating the fruits of the number of worlds in hand, the money is not enough for two months!

"Master, do you have any concerns?" Tasia noticed the troubled expression on Linda's face and asked carefully.

The team members all looked over.

Linda hesitated to speak.

Borrowing money from a maid who has not yet joined the team will damage your image as a captain.

Linda, who had experienced being denied wages by Leah, knew the importance of paying employees in a timely manner.

Even if they are all their old team members.

But the money that should be paid must not be fooled.

Fortunately, these two months are enough.

‘If I can get the treasure on the 10th floor, earn a few million gold, and upgrade a few levels, there should be no problem. ’

Linda thought silently.

He raised his head, looked at the team members, and said with a smile: "It's nothing. Everyone has absorbed the power of the bronze tree fruit. Practice well and don't waste the fruit."

"Can a maid like me also enjoy your fruit?" Tasia was a little embarrassed, holding the fruit of the World Tree in her hand and reluctant to eat it.

"You can eat as long as you want. This is a benefit for the maid."

Linda picked up a fist-sized World Tree fruit and stuffed it into Tasia's mouth.

"Well, Master, it's too big. Ahem."

Tasia closed her eyes in shame, opened her mouth and took a bite of the fruit. When she swallowed it, she choked and coughed repeatedly.
