After quitting the team, the adventurers regretted it

The mountains were filled with fog, and all I saw was white.

After listening to Linda's suggestion, everyone looked thoughtful.

Abner nodded: "Given our current situation, Sanchongshan is indeed the most suitable."

Linda said, "But since we have come this far, let's defeat the monsters here first. It will be a training exercise."

When they reached the top of the mountain, they found a bipedal turkey sleeping on its stomach in its nest.

The other party's message popped up in Linda's mind:
[Monster: Bipedal Turkey]

【Level: 42】

[Rarity: Orange is rare]

[Skill 1: What are you doing? While yelling, it uses its hard back to charge at the adventurer.

Skill 2: Ouch, it hurts. The bipedal turkey licks its wounds in unbearable pain, and recovers a large amount of health. 】

This monster is an Easter egg monster and is relatively easy to defeat.

Seeing that the two-legged turkey was fast asleep, everyone crouched and moved forward. When the distance was reduced to one meter, they suddenly launched an attack!
Linda didn't even use any skills. He and his companions each had a sword. The mages just cast a small spell, and in an instant, the two-legged turkey died.

[System prompt: Cooperate to kill the level 42 bipedal turkey, and obtain the goddess's gift, experience value +8000! ]

Linda:?
Why isn't it added as much as that Shadow Mountain Cat?

The former is an elite monster, add ten thousand.

The latter is the leader of the monsters, and there are only eight thousand of them.

Linda frowned and thought about it, then suddenly understood.

When killing the Shadow Mountain Cat, several people took action and shared more experience points. Now, sixteen people killed it together, and the experience points obtained were much less.

"The monsters in the first mountain are too weak. We have to go to the third mountain to satisfy us."

Linda thought in her mind.

After plundering some materials on the mountain, everyone spread their wings and flew deeper into the mountain.

time flies.

It was noon when we came in, and in the blink of an eye, the sky turned orange.

During this period, Linda and his friends encountered several unidentified adventure teams. Fortunately, with Kafni's detection skills, they were able to avoid them all safely.

At dusk, we traveled a thousand miles before arriving at the edge of Sanchong Mountain.

“It’s really different here.”

Linda felt a faint excitement.

Everyone noticed something unusual about the Sanchong Mountain. The demonic aura here was stronger, and the mountain peaks were taller, roughly estimated to be over seven hundred meters high.

"Haru Steel?" Kafni's eyes lit up when he saw a dark rectangular stone, and he happily put it into his space ring.

"What good luck." Gail was a little envious.

Linda said, "It can only be considered good luck. Haru steel is worth 2 gold coins. It is very rare on the 10th floor, but it is placed on the 20th floor. If you look for it patiently, you will always find it."

In this 20th-floor secret realm, the adventure teams are divided into two types: "vegetarian" and "carnivorous". Carnivorous people are like Linda and his group, running around the hilltops and killing leaders.

The vegetarians, on the other hand, hide from monsters and other adventurers, and come here specifically to pick up materials and survive.

At the end of the day, you can earn millions of gold coins.

It sounds like a lot, but converted into purple gold coins, according to the current rate, it is less than 100. If you want to get a full moon-level epic with this money-making method, it will take a long time.

"This is our first time entering Sanchong Mountain to fight monsters, so be alert!"

Linda’s eyes were stern: “Don’t let the 20th floor fool you because of the bipedal turkey before.

Starting from Sanchong Mountain, the lowest level of the monster boss is 43, and many of them are epic monsters! "

The epic monster's special move can kill the back row instantly, which is fundamentally different from those rare purple and orange monster bosses.

"clear."

Everyone who could get here were not novices, and they all nodded.

Abner: "Linda, please take care of our back row members."

After saying that, the two mages and a healer all looked at Linda with warm eyes.

"Captain Linda, you must let me taste your turtle shell. Ahem, what does the Verdant Shield taste like."

“If a monster sets its sights on you, I’ll give it to you,” Linda said.

The heavily armored soldiers led the way and the group headed towards the top of the mountain.

The mountain road was quite steep, with gravel all over the ground. Tall fir trees looked like ghostly shadows in the white fog, and the calls of unknown birds could be heard.

Monica's face turned pale and she hid beside Linda.

Linda touched Monica's little head and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, the captain is here."

On the other side, Kit, the leopard, wagged her tail and approached Abner. With Abner looking puzzled, she held his hand.

This smile-inducing move eased the tense atmosphere.

When they reached halfway up the mountain, everyone stopped.

The sound of fighting came from the top of the mountain!

Has anyone gotten there first?

Just leave now, or go up and see what's going on. All eyes are cast on the two captains.

Linda and Abner had a brief discussion and decided to observe from closer.

Now the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, so we have the initiative whether to fight or flee.

The group restrained their magic power, held their breath, and approached the top of the mountain.

The closer we get, the clearer the sounds of fighting become. The sound of magic bombarding, rocks breaking, swords piercing flesh, cutting soft objects.
Very intense.

There were no strange roars, and it didn't seem like a battle between adventurers and monsters.

Linda looked thoughtful and thought, could it be the demons?
Kafni closed his eyes and activated [Detection] with all his strength.

She said: "It's very chaotic. There are more than 20 people, with an average level of about 43. One side is weak and is about to lose."

Abner frowned, his hand reaching for the hilt of his knife: "If there are adventurers along, we have to rescue them."

rescue
Linda thought for a moment and said, "With our numbers and strength, it would be too shameful to run away from a battle of this level."

The two captains unanimously decided to intervene in this battle!

This will be their first tough battle after entering the 20th-level secret realm. The team members looked solemn, and they all activated their magic circuits and were fully alert.

On the top of the mountain, more than twenty adventurers were fighting.

The ground was in a mess, with large pits and fallen trees everywhere, and in the pits, there were several bloody corpses.

Judging from the badges on their chests, most of them are adventurers from the secret continent.

"Besiege that heavily armored warrior for me. He's running out of energy!"

A young man with short black horns on his head and red eyes laughed, leaning on a spear.

This person's name is Gu Ao, an adventurer from the Demon World, and the captain of the adventure team [Black Fruit]. Gu Ao stared at the girl with short golden hair, his throat felt dry, and he swallowed subconsciously.

This kind of beautiful girl tastes the best. He wants to humiliate her while absorbing her source core.

Just thinking about it made Gu Ao's blood boil.

"Captain, these people are too weak. They are not strong enough for me to fight!" A demon holding a big knife attacked the side of the heavily armored warrior. The big knife entered from the gap of the armor, bringing up a handful of blood.

"Girl, I'm here to enjoy you!" Gu Ao rushed forward impatiently and hit the girl's head with the butt of his spear.

"Stay away from my sister!"

The skinny boy with short brown hair crossed his two short knives and blocked Gu Ao's gun handle.

There was a clang sound, and the young man's face turned pale. He took several steps back, and the knuckles of his hands were cracked and bleeding.

“A newly promoted Moon Stage at level 40 dares to come to Sanchong Mountain to seek death?” Gu Ao sneered and grabbed the head of the person walking forward with his big hand.

"Ludi, leave me alone and run away."

The blonde girl held a rapier in her hand and stood in front of the boy.

This brother and sister were Sterry and Ludi from Xuanfeng City.

The former's title is [Sunshine Dancer], with an adventurer rating of eight stars, while the latter's rating is seven stars.

However, the two were not in such a glamorous state as they were in Baige City. Their clothes were torn, their arms and thighs were covered in wounds and blood, and their fighting spirit had already dropped to less than 10% after the fierce battle.
Sterry regretted her own arrogance very much. She felt that the first and second mountain areas were a bit simple, so she came to the third mountain. Unexpectedly, she met the demon adventure team [Black Fruit].

"I'm buying time for you, hurry up and use the teleportation stone to leave!"

With a low cry, Sterry's rapier shot out like a rainstorm, bringing up streaks of silver light.

"Weak, too weak, a mere prey, only worthy of being enjoyed by me!"

After ten rounds of fighting, Gu Ao swept out with the handle of his gun.

Under the fierce fighting spirit, there was a sudden sound like a strong wind, and the thick fog in the mountains was temporarily blown away.

Just as the gun handle was about to hit Sterry's lower abdomen, the face of a strange young man appeared behind the mist.

Gu Ao frowned. Who is this person? Did he just happen to come to support?

The aura is not very strong, about level 42.

It is quite a bit lower than his level 44.

"How dare you meddle in other people's business with your strength? I will take you in too!"

Gu Ao shook his spear, gave up on Sterry, and turned to attack the black-haired young man!
The airflow seemed to turn into a sharp blade, stinging Linda's cheek. The tip of the attacking gun released a dark light like petroleum. The recovery magic in Linda's body produced a strong sense of resistance, as if facing a towel covered with feces.

This is [Dark Attribute] magic!
Like a cancer attached to the bone, once it's touched, it will continuously corrode the adventurer's life barrier!

"I will make you the first demon soul under my command!"

Linda showed no sign of weakness and charged forward with his Snake Shadow Flowing Sword.

Bang!
The weapons collided, making a sharp sound, and everyone felt their ears temporarily deafened!

Sterry and the others were both surprised and delighted, they saw the young man who suddenly rushed out, forced Gu Ao back with one sword, and a notch appeared on the tip of the black spear!
What kind of weapon is this? It’s so sharp?

Gu Ao used the butt of his gun to stab the ground, and only then did he stop retreating. His blood was surging, and his face was filled with disbelief.

On the other hand, the other party stood there holding a sword, and had enough time to cast a healing spell on the injured thin boy.

"Is the combat power of an ordinary level 42 so exaggerated?
This guy must be famous on the monthly list!

withdraw! "

Gu Ao was unwilling to give up, but he decided to give up. The adventurers in the top 2 of the monthly ranking were not easy to mess with. Even if he was levels higher than the other party, he might not win!
The dark wings spread out, and Gu Ao led his team members into the sky.

"Where to escape!"

Little did they know that the members of the White Dove Adventure Group had already ambushed behind the clouds, and the mages chanted spells and bombarded downwards.

"Ahhh!"

Gu Ao and others were hit head-on and fell to the ground like birds with broken wings while screaming.

The members of Luanweihua's team had been waiting for an opportunity for a long time, and one by one they emerged from the white fog.

Lulu's claws popped out, and after a cold light, there was a torn neck.

The Tashia magic cannon turned, and a rain of bullets poured down on the panicked demon adventurers.

After a few breaths, only the captain Gu Ao and a heavily armored warrior wearing a cross helmet were left in the Black Fruit Adventure Group.

The two men were covered in blood and looked terrified.

The adventure team of that black-haired young man alone was difficult to deal with, but who would have thought there was another one in the sky!
Despair emerged in Gu Ao's eyes. There were two people on the other side, and the magic power fluctuations of their weapons were quite good. He could easily cut holes in their weapons. They were simply legendary.

The adventure team that possesses legendary weapons can almost walk sideways in Sanchong Mountain!
"Wait, you're Linda, the Eye of Truth?"

Gu Ao was too flustered to see Linda's appearance clearly until now.

"You are a demon, and you know me?" Linda asked in surprise.

Gu Ao gritted his teeth and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva: "I have nothing to say to the dog thieves from the Secret Realm Continent, just wait to die!"

After saying this, Gu Ao's blood vessels were exposed and his whole body swelled up like a ball.

Seeing this scene, Linda shouted urgently: "Retreat!"

Everyone hurriedly moved away, and after retreating about ten meters, they heard a loud explosion!
The violent airflow carried gravel, blood and flesh, hitting everyone on the back.

When the explosion stopped, Linda walked back with a serious expression. There was a big hole and a lot of meat scraps on the ground.

"Are all demons as strong-willed as this Gu Ao?"

Linda found this difficult.

"Probably not."

Sterry held her chest with fear, walked over and said, “I’ve heard from the elders in my family that there are many demons who are afraid of death and beg adventurers to let them go.

However, in the eyes of most demons, we are the sinners who drove them to the Demon Continent, so it is not difficult to understand why they hate us. "

Linda knew about this.

Legend has it that in ancient times, all races in the Secret Continent were one family, but for unknown reasons, adventurers drove the demons out of the Secret Continent and drove them into the Demon Continent, a dark, barren land with very little magic power.

Over the course of tens of thousands of years, the demons launched several counterattacks, but were each suppressed by adventurers.

Hatred has accumulated from generation to generation and has reached a point where there is no end in sight.

If there is a chance to annihilate the demons, or if the adventurers are annihilated, neither side will hold back. At least that's what 99% of people think.

"By the way, Captain Linda, I haven't thanked you yet."

Steli bowed deeply, her face somewhat sad: "Sanchong Mountain is indeed not something our Sunshine Adventure Team can come to. Team members, it's all because of me."

If Linda and others hadn't arrived in time, the Sunshine Adventure Team would have been wiped out.

"I will always remember your life-saving grace."

The girl picked up several bodies on the ground and said with a gloomy look in her eyes:
"Captain Linda, there are only five of us left. It is not suitable for us to stay on the 5th floor any longer. Please forgive us for parting here. I will definitely thank you very much next time we meet."

Linda looked at the bodies on the ground, feeling heavy-hearted, and said, "Take care, Miss Sterling." (End of this chapter)
