After quitting the team, the adventurers regretted it

“The monsters you kill will be recorded by the training bracelet, which has an automatic identification formation inside.

Cooperate to kill monsters and your military merits will be reduced.

Solo combat is encouraged.

In addition, the rules of this assessment prohibit internal fighting and killing each other.

Once discovered, they will be directly taken to the Imperial Prison.

But you should understand what I really mean.

As long as we are not discovered, there will be no problem.

You can use any means to put yourself in the first place in military merit.

Lord Leng Yue has only one creed - everything a strong person does can be forgiven!

Spring assessment begins! "

Angel's voice shook the ancient forest.

The branches and leaves of the big trees were shaking and dust was flying.

Whoosh whoosh.

The students rushed into the depths of the forest like arrows.

Although there are many monsters, those above level 50 are not common.

On the other hand, they, the “lower light class” can fight epic monsters alone.

The weakness of the crowd is only compared to monsters like Wogang, Oren, and Linda.

If placed outside, everyone is a talented adventurer.

The ancient forest is dangerous, but the center of this "cake" is the hardest to chew.

The middle and outer layers are sweet and delicious.

Linda and Leah looked at each other, then looked at their teammates and the many members of the White Dove Union.

"set off!"

...

...

In a blink of an eye, six days passed.

At night, in a tent deep in the ancient forest, the magic lamp glowed dimly.

A black-haired young man used a few wooden boxes as a table, spread out a map, and studied the distribution of monsters.

The members of Luanweihua team were also there. Taige fell asleep on the ground, snoring. The other members were sitting cross-legged in meditation, with fragments of laws of different colors floating around them.

Anna sat across from the "table" and murmured, "The situation is not optimistic."

"Well, there is still one day left before the end of the assessment. It will be difficult to catch up."

Linda said with a headache.

Judging from the blue list generated by magic in the sky, the third place in terms of military merit so far is the young wolf king Wogang of the Frostwolf tribe, with 157 points.

Second in military merit, [Eye of True Knowledge] Linda, 203 points.

First in combat merit, [Scar] Oren, 240 points!
This means that in just six days, 240 monsters above level 50 died at Oren's hands.

It was difficult for Linda to make up the 37-point gap on the last day.

On the first day of the assessment, the monsters were not on guard and it was easiest to earn points. Later on, the monsters sensed the presence of the adventurers and all fled.

Although there are some smart monsters who lead their minions to counterattack, there is a fundamental difference between the adventurers in Bingyuan and the poor adventurers who enter the ancient forest to collect magic materials.

They are far ahead in terms of equipment, combat power and combat experience.

The monsters' resistance was useless and was tantamount to being eaten.

Now, it is the sixth day of the spring assessment.

Linda wandered around for more than ten hours during the day before he killed seven light-level monsters.

Everyone was frightened and hid themselves.

"Oren's strength is stronger than I expected, or he has found a treasure land with many monsters."

Staring at the spread-out map, Linda pondered secretly.

It is almost impossible to catch up with Oren in one day.

Thinking about the reward for first place, Linda sighed.

There is a huge difference between the first and the second.

The first place winner will be rewarded with a full set of ancient-grade equipment.

The second one has only one.

Just as he was thinking about countermeasures, Kafni, who was watching outside, suddenly shouted: "Someone is coming, this aura should be Oren!"

"what?"

Linda's eyelids twitched.

Anna also showed surprise in her eyes.

As long as Oren stays away obediently, he will be ranked first in stable combat performance.

Why did you come to see them? Are you so confident that you can return safely?

Linda: “How many people came?”

Kafni, who was sitting outside the tent, used the level 50 thief's rare skill [Full Detection] to sense it and said, "Three."

"Three? Luanweihua is looked down upon."

I don’t know whether Oren is reckless or just brave and skilled.

After a while, Oren and his two companions arrived.

"good evening."

Oren was shirtless, wearing only a pair of black cloth pants, with his hands in his pockets. Behind him were Alexander and Misan.

"Why, you don't want to invite us in for a chat? I paid a lot of money to get your information."

"Please." Linda pulled open the tent curtain expressionlessly.

He wanted to see what the other party was up to.

Oren seemed not to notice the hostile looks of the Luanweihua team members and calmly walked into the tent and sat down.

Linda asked Tasya to pour a few glasses of water and place them in front of Oren and the other two.

Then, he glanced at Misan who looked uncomfortable, and Alexander whose right arm was empty.

The three-meter-tall giant curled up in the small tent, looking funny and with a look of deep fear on his face.

Yasan didn't look at himself very much, probably because he was hurt in the battle.

He was quite well behaved. He didn't provoke me, nor did he look disgusting.

Linda became even more curious. Why were they looking for her?
Oren crossed his hands, placed them on his knees, and said straight to the point: "From now on, I will stop subjugating monsters."

"What does this mean?" Linda frowned.

"Literally. If you work harder, you should be able to surpass my 240 merits and become number one."

"Why do you do this?"

"Haha, that's right. There is no free lunch in the secret continent. I do need your help with something." Oren said slowly, "Are you interested in killing one of the twelve followers of the demon race?"

"Twelve dependents?" Linda asked puzzledly.

"Yes, I have mastered the whereabouts of one of the twelve followers. The enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, so we are sure to win.

This is a huge achievement. The reward from the royal capital alone includes the "Heavenly Secret Medicine".

This is an extremely rare magic potion that can allow an Extreme Saint Rank to break through to the Heaven Rank with a high probability.

I believe Bingyuan will also reward you.

What do you think? Do you want to join hands with us and win this honor together? "

Oren laughed.

Linda's eyes flickered and he took a sip of water to hide his shock.

It seems that there are a lot of intrigues and deceptions within the demon clan.

The only possible reason is that Oren has a grudge against the Twelve Followers, or wants to replace the other party. There are only twelve Twelve Followers, and only when the current one dies will a new one join the ranks of the Twelve Followers.

With Oren's strength, he is more than qualified to be one of the twelfth followers.

"Who is it?" Linda asked.

Oren smiled: "I knew you would be interested. Who among the strong would not want to kill the high-ranking officials of the Demon King's army?

But don't worry, I'm not arrogant enough to attack the front seats of the Twelve Dependents.

Through some private channels, I learned that one year later, Xilin, the twelfth follower of the demon clan, 'Gluttony', will appear at the 'Dragon Falling Peak' in the 30th level of the Great Secret Realm to participate in a high-level meeting at the Dragon Sleeping Tomb.

It so happened that the power behind me had infiltrated the Dragon's Sleep Tomb and was able to get me three qualifications to participate in the rally without being suspected.

You and I can participate by pretending to be cultists.

To ensure the success of my plan, I will only select the strongest of their rank.

As soon as Xilin appears, you and I will turn against her and kill this witch!
At that time, the witch's head will be yours, and I will only take her personal belongings, how about that?"

It was quiet outside, and the leaves rustled in the wind.

In the simple tent, Linda's eyes widened slightly after listening to Oren's words.

He lowered his head to drink water again, feeling surprised, excited, angry, and all kinds of emotions. The water he drank was like a bottle of five flavors that had been overturned, and his mood was extremely complicated.

Kill the witch, good.

Oren, this demon, doesn’t even know that he knows he is a demon, okay!
But
The twelfth follower of the demon clan, 'Gluttony' Xilin, isn't she his sister!

If he had not demonstrated his strength a week ago and been noticed by Oren, Oren would most likely have teamed up with someone else.

As luck would have it, he got one step closer to his sister!
Lin Da was worried that he couldn't find Lin Xi.

Oren was waiting with the news.

"Let me think about it first."

It would be suspicious to agree to it immediately.

Linda pretended to be doubtful and frowned in thought.

Oren expressed his understanding: "This is a serious matter and does require careful consideration. But I know that you will agree in the end. How can top adventurers like you and me not be interested in the heads of the twelve followers?"

After saying that, Oren picked up the water cup with a smile and took a sip.

But he did not swallow it, and evaporated it with magic power.

Linda doesn't trust him, so how can he trust Linda?
Who knows if it's poisonous?

Oren's fingers gently kneaded the water cup, seemingly nonchalant and lazy, but deep in his eyes, there was a hidden murderous intent.

As soon as the witch Silin died, he took over the position of the Twelve Followers.

The next person to die is the human in front of us!
However, if Linda surrenders sincerely, it would be fine to spare his life.

Oren still admired Linda very much. Being able to have such a person as a subordinate would be extremely beneficial to his future promotion.

One minute, three minutes, ten minutes passed.

Linda sat quietly in the chair, eyes half closed, as if petrified.

——Beat Oren half to death and force him to reveal all the information.
No, that would just alert the enemy.

He needs Oren to take him to see Lin Xi.

"Luolong Peak" is located in the deepest part of the Hundred Thousand Mountains and is the core of the 30th level of the Great Secret Realm. Since it is the 30th level, it means that the demons that appear there are capped at the 69th level of the Saint Order.

Linda is currently only level 59 and cannot reach the 30th floor.

But the rally was a year later.

There is enough time to improve your strength.

As long as you advance to the Saint level and use the experience card, you will most likely have the strength of the Heavenly level.

Looking at President Angel's leadership, one can see just the tip of the iceberg of Heavenly Stage.

The suppression of level 70 by level 69 is almost unsolvable.

One super fatal blow, and the level 69 Saint is helpless.

No matter how many demons participate in the rally, Lin Da can take Lin Xi away, or even kill all the other demons!
The only one to watch out for is Oren.

Is what this kid said true or false?
It's best to do nothing until the truth is revealed.

Thinking of this, Linda smiled.

"That's exactly what I want. Killing the twelve followers can greatly weaken the strength of the Demon King's army. We adventurers should do this."

Oren raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, "That's right. You and I are both geniuses with the potential to be promoted to legends. How can we be afraid of a mere Twelve Followers? One year later, you and I will find another strong man, and the three of us will go to the meeting and chop off the witch's head!"

"Good good!"

Linda agreed readily.

The two of them chatted with each other, cursing the witch in a harmonious atmosphere.

After taking a sip of water to moisten his throat, Linda changed the subject: "By the way, Brother Oren, I heard that the three of you did not undergo any assessments and directly received a ten-star rating from Lord Leng Yue. Why is that?"

After these words were spoken, Misan and Alexander's expressions changed slightly.

The relationship between Leng Yuegong and them must not be discovered by anyone!
Linda smiled, as if he was just curious: "I can hear that your accent is a bit strange. I don't know where Lord Leng Yue discovered you."

Oren sighed, a trace of sadness on his face: "My father was once a subordinate of Lord Leng Yue. He was seriously injured and died in the battle with the demons in the 40th floor of the Great Secret Realm. For this reason, the three of us were given ten-star badges. Of course, it is also because we have ten-star strength that we are exempted from the cumbersome procedures."

After that, Oren stood up, as if he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore: "I won't bother you anymore. The difference between your combat merit and mine is 37. I'm afraid you can only rest for a while tonight."

Linda and her team members saw Oren and his group off.

Another ten minutes passed, until he could no longer sense their breath. The smile on Linda's face disappeared, and he held his chin with a serious expression.

"Captain, we can't trust him. Monica feels that he is a bad guy and is lying."

"Yeah, it must be half true. When I kill the witch, I'll probably be the next one to die."

What Linda needs to do now is to surpass Oren in military achievements and become the first.

A set of ancient five-star equipment, plus 5 points, is too tempting.

His combat power was at least increased by half.

That night, Linda rested for two hours and then took Kafni into the vast forest.

With Kafni's [Comprehensive Exploration], the efficiency of searching for monsters increases several times.

It was dusk the next day.

"what!"

In the dense forest, the girl with long fiery red hair slashed with a sword.

The scarlet sword light slashed towards the violent imperial bear.

The power of super energy storage combined with the characteristic of the Spark Law [the more you fight, the braver you become] is incredible.

The girl only used a normal flat attack, but it easily broke through the defense of the violent emperor bear, and its thick fur was as thin as paper.

This level 55 monster howled and was split in half.

The girl's training bracelet emitted a faint red light, and the number on it changed from 142 to 143.

"Try this again."

Leah looked at the other small violent emperor bear excitedly, and with a low roar, a gray law fragment flew out from her palm and embedded in the big sword.

Suddenly, the scorching orange-red flame was tinged with an ominous black color.

This is exactly the move that Leia comprehended from the fragments of the law of destruction.

"Rare skill: Flame-destroying Slash!"

Leah leaped up and flew right above the latter.

The greatsword slashed out horizontally, and a rotating black wheel of fire attacked the violent imperial bear.

Under this strange black flame, the temperature of the air did not rise but dropped, as if it was a winter with heavy snow.

"Ouch!"

The violent emperor bear sensed the danger and started running away with its big black butt sticking up.

However, he was hit on the back by the black fire wheel and fell to the ground with a "wow".

The violent emperor bear rolled madly on the ground, and tore off the fur and even the flesh with his hands behind his back, but the flames still did not go out. (End of this chapter)
