After quitting the team, the adventurers regretted it

This could explain why Bai Luo looked tired.

There was a fist-sized wound on her left shoulder, as if she had been bitten by a poisonous snake. The flesh and blood were purple-black, and bubbles kept forming in the middle.

It was the result of a strange black magic and water-based fighting spirit fighting against each other. The two sides were evenly matched, causing the wound to expand and become more serious.

Bai Luo's voice was normal, as if he didn't feel any pain: "Originally, we needed to find a priest to do the daily cleaning at noon, but since you guys are here, it will be postponed to the afternoon."

"Is everything alright?" Taige scratched his head, "How come you still have this disease?"

Anna also advised: "Don't worry about us, go call the pastor first."

Linda was silent, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

This kind of injury is very similar to [Dark Corruption].

It must be performed with dark fighting spirit, the power of the laws inherited from the Demon King's Castle!

Attacking the enemy with the law of [Dark Corruption] will leave scars that are difficult to heal, even if the enemy does not die.

The wound will continue to consume the life of the bearer and can only be suppressed by fighting spirit or magic power. It cannot be eliminated. It is an extremely disgusting law.

As far as Linda knows, only demons above the rank of senior cadres are qualified to practice [Dark Corruption].

"Did you fight with the people from Longmian Tomb?" Linda asked in a deep voice.

"Yes. Cangqing City organized adventurers to raid the demons on the 30th floor, and as the dean of Qingkong University, I was also invited.

He killed several cadres, but was accidentally injured himself.

If I were a teacher, I would definitely not make this mistake. I am too weak. "

Bai Luo laughed at himself.

Seeing the frustration in Bai Luo's eyes, Lin Da felt a pain in his heart and his right hand raised uncontrollably, wanting to touch Bai Luo's head.

Fortunately, he held back, and Bai Luo saw him raise his right hand and then put it down with a puzzled look.

In the game, Bai Luo is the type who doesn't like to take credit for anything. It seems that he "killed a few cadres", but they were most likely demons above level 57. Such merit is enough to be included in the Adventurer's Weekly.

In fact, Linda didn’t even know today that Bai Luo had been promoted to the Saint level. She was too low-key.

Bai Luo pulled up the shoulder straps of her dress, but the horrifying sight of the wound remained engraved in Linda's mind and could not be erased.

A Saint-level adventurer could be tortured to the point of looking haggard. One can imagine how difficult it is to be infected by the dark corruption.

Damn demons, I won’t forgive you!

Linda took a deep breath, his heart chilled.

"Be careful when you enter the 30th floor in the future."

Bai Luo said solemnly: "Of the twelve followers of the demon clan, at least two are on the 30th floor. I was injured by a woman with long pink hair. She used a spear and was a succubus. The sheep-like horns on her head were easy to recognize. If you see her, you must run away!"

Succubus, long pink hair.
Linda's eyelids twitched.

There are many succubi among the demon race, how could it be such a coincidence?

Remembering the characteristics of this Twelve Followers for the time being, Linda secretly looked at Bai Luo's left shoulder. This injury must be treated as soon as possible, and every day of delay will consume Bai Luo's vitality.

It is true that darkness and corruption can only be suppressed, not eliminated.

But there are very few magic items that can cure dark corruption.

Linda just happened to have one.

After making the decision, he felt much more relieved.

Changing the subject, Linda said, "By the way, I accepted Anna's commission and am investigating the truth behind the disappearance of the Dark Shadow. I heard that you were once one of his team members. Do you have any clues? Let's share what we have and discuss it together."

Linda revealed another purpose for her coming here.

In addition to fulfilling her promise with Bai Luo and purifying her friends, Linda also wanted to know how many clues Bai Luo had about the disappearance of the Dark Shadow.

The threat of the Dragon's Tomb is in the open, so there is no need to worry too much. But the mastermind behind the scenes is like an impenetrable fog. The higher Linda's level is and the closer he is to the capital, the more uneasy he feels.

A huge shadow is approaching.

"If you have any clues, please let us know!"

In order to gain Bai Luo's trust, Lin Da first told him the clues on his side.

——Lord Lengyue betrayed the enemy and commissioned Lulu and others to go to the southern area of ​​Cangqing Province to find the dark shadow.

Many of those clients are witches.

But he obeys Lord Leng Yue!
If Lulu had not been purified by herself, she might have returned to the capital to report to Lord Leng Yue. The Frost Wolf Tribe was a savior in a sense, cutting off the connection between the two. Of course, Lord Leng Yue and Lulu did not "know" each other. They did not meet directly, but contacted through an intermediary, so that the relationship between Lord Leng Yue and the witch was not discovered by the capital.

This woman is full of doubts.

After listening to Linda's story, Bai Luo frowned, as if thinking about something.

She murmured, "So that's it, Evelyn really betrayed me."

The evidence Linda brought confirmed some of her ideas.

"I don't believe everything you said, but it is very valuable for reference."

Bai Luo pondered and said, "Lord Leng Yue specially sent people to the southern part of Cangqing Province. Could it be that there are traces of the teacher there? If so, I have been looking in the wrong direction."

"Can you tell me now what clues you have?"

"of course."

Bai Luo nodded and raised three fingers: "There are three people who are most likely related to this matter. The first one is, just like you thought, I also think it is Cold Moon Princess Evelyn."

"Oh why?"

Linda and the team members all looked serious.

If Evelyn is really the mastermind behind this, we will be in big trouble.

"There were five freshmen who received a ten-star rating in Bingyuan last year. The identities of Luo Manli and Wo Gang are clear, but I have never heard of the other three. So, I secretly investigated them for a while."

Linda: “What was the result?”

“Those three people met with a high-ranking official from Longmian Tomb outside the city.

I didn't alert the enemy and returned to the college.

Since they were taken into Bingyuan by Lord Lengyue, there must be some purpose behind it. If we move them, we will be noticed.

It is hard not to doubt Lady Leng Yue's motives for allowing someone who has a connection with Long Mian's Tomb to enter Bingyuan."

Bai Luo narrowed his eyes and sneered, “Besides, Lord Leng Yue’s sister, the former head of the Knights, is one of the current four kings of the demon clan.

She personally signed a contract with the Demon King and is currently the most powerful witch.

Perhaps, Leng Yue Gong has already followed in her sister's footsteps and become a witch."

That won’t happen.

Linda shook her head in her heart.

I have Kafni by my side, so if a witch appears, Kafni will be able to tell her apart.

In short, Evelyn is full of doubts.

An adventurer who was in the top ten of the Holy Tree Ranking. If there was no irrefutable evidence, Linda would not want to be the enemy of Evelyn. It was too difficult to defeat this woman. Even a level 90 Dark Shadow was not sure, so it had to be at least level 95.

Linda: "Where are the other two suspected 'masterminds'?"

Bai Luo looked at Anna and said meaningfully: "You should know it very well."

“I don’t think that’s likely.”

Anna tilted her head, "She must be the one who likes the captain the most."

"Really?" Bai Luo did not comment.

"Are you playing charades?"

Linda said helplessly: "Don't keep me in suspense, just tell me directly."

Bai Luo: "Since you are confident in accepting Anna's commission, you must have some understanding of the teacher's original adventure team.

The original vice-captain, [Judgment of Hell] Tina.

This is the person I consider the second most suspicious." "Why?"

Linda wondered. Tina was the first character he liked. She was very strong and pretty. He couldn't bear to buy new clothes for her, so he bought several skins for her.

Swimsuits, New Year cheongsams, full body black stockings. My wallet was emptied.

“Because Tina acted so calm, as if she had expected it.

The Tina I know should dig deep into the area where the captain disappeared to see if there is anyone underground.

And Tina left with half of the team members the next day.

His whereabouts are still unknown.”

Bai Luo said coldly: "Most of the remaining team members followed a man who claimed to be the reincarnation of the teacher and was called [Dark Shadow]. He is the third suspect I think."

"Dark Shadow?"

Linda was a little confused.

How come as soon as the Dark Shadow disappeared, all kinds of people came out? They are definitely using his name to defraud people!
Bai Luo: "He also invited me to join, but I refused. That kind of bastard doesn't even have one-third of the teacher's ability. He is just a liar who imitates the teacher. I don't know what people think of this kind of bastard."

After hearing Bai Luo's words, the living room fell into a brief silence.

The amount of information revealed by Bai Luo is very large.

First, the three mysterious adventurers taken in by Lord Leng Yue had something to do with Long Mian’s Tomb.

Second, Tina disappeared with half of the main team members and their whereabouts are unknown.

Third, there is the imposter "Dark Shadow" who claims to be the reincarnation of the Dark Shadow.
The mastermind behind this is most likely one of these three people.

Linda thought: "Since that 'Dark Shadow' was able to gather half of the original team members, he must be quite powerful.

If Tina were still alive, with her talent, at least the law.

Evelynn is the most difficult one. She was level 1.0 in version 95, but I don’t know what her level is now.”

Linda sighed. Even though he had practiced hard for a year, his strength was still not enough. Each of his enemies was ridiculously strong.

He must get the key called [Secret Key of the Sea] from the Ice Abyss.

This thing is exactly the real purpose of Linda’s trip to the Ice Abyss.

Holding the key, you can open a secret place in the distant ocean.

The reward inside is an extremely rare law core!

With it, Linda's path to level 80 will be unobstructed.

"Thank you for your information. These clues are very helpful. If we have new discoveries in the future, we can exchange information and work together to find the mastermind."

"Of course I can," Bai Luo said in confusion, "How much did Anna pay you? You know how dangerous this matter is, don't you?"

"Because I'm a man of my words."

Linda said vaguely.

This is something that concerns me, so I have to take it seriously.

"It's time to get down to business. We are the ones who have been asking you questions. I'm a little embarrassed." Linda said, "Let me meet your friend. With my current strength, I should be able to purify the pollution in her body."

"about this."

Bai Luo shook his head: "She's not here."

Linda was not surprised. It was too dangerous to keep the witch around.

Bai Luo said bluntly: "I hid her in the dark room on the top floor of the ice tower."

“Ice Tower.”

Linda frowned.

This is the training facility in the Bingyuan training camp.

There are many mechanisms and monsters in the ice tower, and you can get training points for each level you climb. As for the top floor, no more than three people have climbed to it in the decades since Bingyuan was founded.

"The severe cold inside the ice tower can indeed suppress the witch's pollution, but staying there for a long time is not good."

"Well, the situation is not optimistic."

Bai Luo said: "If you don't come this year, I will go and catch you."

"How much time is left?"

"One year."

“That’s really not optimistic.”

Linda thought for a moment and said, "But leave it to me."

Hearing this, Bai Luo's tense brows relaxed slightly: "Linda, thank you."

"Nothing, this is what we agreed upon. I will help you treat your friend, and you keep my secret." Linda looked around the living room. "By the way, where is the bathroom?"

After Bai Luo pointed out the direction, he went over. Then Bai Luo said, "Has everyone not eaten yet? If you don't mind, try my cooking."

Talking about business, none of them had eaten lunch yet. Adventurers don't have the ability to "fast", the higher the level, the more energy they consume.

"Okay, okay." Taige raised his hand excitedly, "I want to eat!"

Mingli didn't dare to look directly at this dazzling little cat girl, "Thank you, thank you."

Tashia stood up: "Do you need help?"

"No, I'll be fine by myself."

Bai Luo put on an apron with a cat's paw pattern, took a small stool with him, and entered the kitchen.

Everyone looked at each other.

I feel that Bai Luo has a mature and steady manner. He speaks and acts in an orderly manner and is also good at cooking. If he joins Luanweihua in the future, he may become the vice-captain.

After Bai Luo entered the kitchen, Tai Ge's eyes rolled around and he glanced in the direction of the bathroom.

It seems like someone had a big bowel movement and can't get out for a while.

Taigo sneaked into the kitchen, attacked Bai Luo from behind, and hugged the cat girl's slender waist.

"Hehe, Master Bai Luo smells so good."

"Idiot, you are already a captain, how can you say such casual words."

Bai Luo, who was standing on the bench, looked helpless as he tapped Taige's head gently with the handle of a spoon.

"Come to think of it." Taige lowered his voice, looked around, and made sure the kitchen doors and windows were closed.

"What's wrong? So mysterious?"

"Actually, I know where the boss is!"

pat.

The spoon in Bai Luo's hand fell to the ground.

She stared at Taige, who was grinning and smug, for a few seconds before she came back to normal. She grabbed Taige's ear and said angrily, "If you lie again, I will be rude to you."

Bai Luo had already been corrupted by darkness, was mentally exhausted, and was teased by Taigo, so he was in a particularly bad mood.

"No, no, I'm telling the truth, woooo." Taigo's ears were pulled so hard that they were about to fall off, and he explained with tears in his eyes.

"Hmph, then tell me, who is the 'boss'?"

"that is."

Just as Taige was about to speak, the kitchen door slammed open.

Linda appeared outside the door with a dark face.

...

(ps: Don't worry, there is no knife plot, the dark shadow is a girl, no green, no white, all accepted) (End of this chapter)
