After quitting the team, the adventurers regretted it

The change occurred in the summer of the third year.

The weather was hot, so the team members hid under the cargo hold to practice.

Suddenly, Taige yelled, "I'm going to eat you!"

She pounced on Bai Luo with red eyes and bit Bai Luo's cat tail, making it bleed.

Bai Luo was getting closer and closer to the law level and was far from being able to defeat Taige. He knocked Taige unconscious with a slap.

Linda walked out of the captain's room and after some inquiries, he finally figured out the situation.

It turned out that Taigo had hallucinated Bai Luo's tail into a ham.

"I'm so hungry. I don't want to eat fish. I want to eat meat. Give me meat."

Taige lay listlessly on the bed, his face haggard, his red hair dull, and he looked as if he had lost all desire to live.

Linda secretly observed the other team members. Although not as obvious as Taige, they were all more or less listless, and their fighting spirit had dropped several times compared to when they first went out to sea.

There are no islands in front of me and no way back to the coast.

I don’t know what the situation is like in the secret continent.

Repeated scenery, repeated food, repeated time. Even the most strong-willed adventurer will suffer.

Taige was the first to give in.

Linda herself was also in a daze and her mind was not very clear.

Seeing Taigo's depressed look, he felt a chill down his spine and shuddered.

“If we continue like this, it will be dangerous.

Everyone's fighting spirit is almost gone.

We must find the island as soon as possible!"

Starting from that night, Linda led the team members to recall the good times in the secret continent and the agreement with Leah and others. He emphasized again and again that the secret continent had not fallen and they were still waiting for him to return.

Never give up hope.

In addition, Linda also took action by starting a grand party to inject new energy into the team members.

good results.

A month later, life returned to the ship.

But Linda knew that this was just a delaying tactic.

If they couldn't find the island, the team members' morale would hit rock bottom and the consequences would be even more serious.

Monica with a silly smile, Taige who "eats people" at every turn, Bai Luo who recalls the time of the original adventure team every day and tells a small thing hundreds of times.
Wendy, who is about to grow hair, misses her "mobile phone" and wants to read "online novels"
Even Linda became abnormal, always recalling things from another world.

Sometimes when he opened his eyes, Linda would wonder if he was in a game screen, and everything he came into contact with were just fake numbers?
who am I?
Where am i?

Was it a wrong decision to search for an island from the beginning?

When Leah and the others were defeated, they might blame themselves, saying that they were deserters, nominally looking for an island but actually seeking refuge.

Linda could not show these anxieties in front of her teammates.

Before I knew it, another month had passed.

In autumn, the sky is clear and cloudless.

"Boss, look, what is that!"

Suddenly, Taigo's excited shout came from the deck.

Linda lowered the rudder and rushed over in a flash.

All the team members have arrived.

The gloom on everyone's face disappeared, and their eyes burst into an astonishing light.

“That, that is.”

Linda was stunned
"Woo woo woo, I found it, I finally found it."

"Hahaha, now I can eat meat."

"Teacher, that's great."

The team members cheered and jumped together.

Even Wendy was no longer sleepy and looked ahead with full energy.

At the end of the sea, there is an island shrouded in clouds and mist.

The clouds were huge, spiral-shaped, and reached straight into the sky.

Giant dragons can be seen among the clouds, flying around the island.

They are colorful.

From the five-colored giant dragon to the metal dragon.

From the sacred dragon as white as jade.

Except for the dark dragon like Lin Xi, all dragon species gathered in the clouds.

Even more spectacular is the depths of the clouds.

There is a huge dragon shadow, and all the other dragons are flying around it.

The difference in size is like that between an ant and a tiger, or a mantis and an eagle.

Even though Linda was mentally prepared, he was still shocked. "Ten thousand meters, or one hundred thousand meters high?"

"Boss, what is this for us?"

Taige shook his tail excitedly, "Is dragon meat delicious? Will it refuse to let me eat it?"

Bai Luo was also curious: "I read in a book that the dragon's territory disappeared ten thousand years ago, leaving only scattered dragons on the continent. Could it be that they moved their territory to the end of the ocean, to that mysterious island in the mist?"

The little cat girl is well-informed.

Linda nodded with satisfaction.

In ancient times, dragons were the overlords of the continent. They were prosperous and their number once exceeded tens of millions.

But since the "War of All Races", adventurers have ruled the secret continent.

Powerful mythical races such as dragons, Titans, and abyss demons have all disappeared, with only three or two appearing occasionally to become stepping stones on the adventurers' road to honor.

The dragon popped out of Linda's pocket, blinked, and said, "I am a dragon too, they won't attack me, will they?"

"Probably not." Linda smiled and said, "The name of this island is 'Holy Land'. No matter your race or origin, even if you are an unforgivable sinner, you can land on the island smoothly."

"Sanctuary?"

Everyone looked at Linda curiously.

There are very few records about the mysterious island, and even its existence is only known from legends.

How did Linda know?

"Yes, the Sanctuary."

Linda's eyes flickered as he pointed to the island in the mist and said, "The story begins with the ancestor of the giant dragon.

A time dragon that once reached level 100, the 'god-level'.

Because it absorbed the magic power of the continent too greedily, it caused the space to collapse and all lives to be destroyed.

At this time, the goddess of the world tree, Tricia, was born to meet the calamity.

Tricia used the holy sword 'Future' to slay the Time Dragon, and peace returned to the continent.

However, the Time Dragon is a god after all.

Not even the goddess Tricia could completely erase it.

The Time Dragon left the wreckage in the depths of the ocean and arranged for his descendants to guard it.

If someone can find this island called the Holy Land, it means they are qualified to accept the trial and obtain the inheritance of God. "

"Time Dragon, Trial?"

Bai Luo, Tai Ge, and Tashiya looked at each other with exaggerated expressions like children listening to a story.

These things are not recorded in the books.

It turns out that the Secret Continent originally had two gods?
If the Time Dragon had not greedily absorbed magic power, perhaps the World Tree Goddess would not have appeared?

The statue now erected in the Adventurer's Guild Hall is the Time Dragon!
"The boss knows so much, he's really amazing." Taige said admiringly.

The team members were even more curious about Linda's identity.

He even knew things that were not recorded in history books.

"Let's go to the island now without further delay."

The atmosphere on the boat was completely new and everyone was full of energy.

Linda went to the captain's room full of energy.

Take the helm and set off.

When approaching the thousand-meter range of the clouds, terrifying pressures came from the sky.

The dragons discovered the ship and their roars echoed across the sea.

Everyone in the cabin covered their ears and their faces turned pale.

After three years of sailing, a few people from Luanweihua reached the Law Level, while Monica and the others reached the Heaven Level.

But the weakest of those giant dragons in the sky are at the law level.

Several pure white sacred dragons flew into the sky.

The one in the lead has golden vertical pupils and dragon horns like a crown.

The overwhelming pressure swept towards everyone!

The ship was shaking violently, and it seemed that it would collapse at any time. A strong wind blew on the deck, dark clouds gathered, and Linda's black hair flew back like a scallion.

The team members stood behind nervously as if they were facing a great enemy.

Facing the three giant dragons in the sky, Linda placed his right hand on his chest, bent down slightly, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:

"Dragon King Nidrag, I am Linda, an adventurer from the mysterious continent. I hold the promised secret key. Please allow us to land on the island and accept the trial of the Time Dragon!"

A pair of majestic golden dragon eyes swept towards Linda, and the voice was like thunder:
"If you fail the test, you will stay on the island forever, human. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

"Then let's go to the island."

The clouds and mist parted, and a blue sea road appeared in front of Linda.

At the end of the sea route is a green island where a huge dragon skeleton is buried.

After three years of ocean voyage, we finally arrived at our destination.

Linda looked resolutely toward the island.

He is bound to obtain the laws and inheritance of the Time Dragon!

In a blink of an eye, another three years passed.

Six years have passed since Luanweihua and his crew set out to sea in search of the mysterious island.

After parting in Cangqing City that day, Leah and the others went to the Forest of Elves and began to climb the Tree of Life.

At the same time, the Far North Plains was fiercely attacked by the Demon King's army.

Ten demon legends were dispatched in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, a new wolf king was born in the Frostwolf tribe.

She opened the ancient barrier and relied on the natural barrier of "Broken Eagle Canyon" to resist the attack of the Demon King's army.

They also ambushed mages on both sides of the canyon and killed many powerful members of the Demon King's army.

A great victory in the first battle.

This victory inspired adventurers from all over the continent.

Provincial capitals and cities organized armies to prevent the spread of the Demon King's army.

The sixth year of the "War Calendar".

The Demon King's army set up a large number of teleportation arrays, and soldiers continued to arrive on the continent.

The three great dukes defected collectively, resulting in an overwhelming advantage in the number of demon legends.

From then on, the adventurers never achieved any success again.

Cities fell one after another.

World trees everywhere were destroyed in the fire.

Only the sacred tree survived tenaciously relying on its own strength.

It seems that no matter whether adventurers or demons rule this continent, the sacred tree will stand forever.

……

It was the ninth year of the war.

All the adventurer's provincial capitals fell, leaving only a few small towns in the corners.

Most of the cities became colonies of the demons, providing equipment and food to the demon king's army.

Countless citizens fled to the wilderness.

In just nine years since the war began, the population of the Secret Continent has dropped by 70%.

The city lords could not stand the tremendous pressure and began to open their city gates and surrender to the demons.

……

Winter of the ninth year of the War Calendar.

In the secret continent, only the Elf Forest and the Far North Plains have not fallen into the hands of the demons.

South of Cangqing Province, Baige City.

In a restaurant.

"Girl, is my pie not ready yet? Go and urge me to eat it in a minute. If I can't eat it in a minute, your store manager will die!"

A man with horns on his forehead and red eyes slammed the table in dissatisfaction.

"Sir, I understand. I will go and urge them right away."

The girl with short brown hair hugged the tray and tried her best to hide the hatred in her eyes.

She lowered her head and hurried to the kitchen.

"Those red-eyed bastards are here to cause trouble again?"

A handsome swordsman with golden braids was flipping the meat patties in the wok, his brows gloomy.

These two people are none other than Leah's brother Davin and the spearman Minnie, the captain of the adventure team that defeated the dragon.

On that afternoon nine years ago, Daven, who was practicing in Xuanfeng City, heard the princess' announcement and felt that his sister might return to Baige City. If he didn't go to see her, he would never see her again.

Unexpectedly, Leah was not there, but a large number of refugees from Cangqing City rushed here.

Daven knew very well that he would not be accepted by the Elf Forest with his strength, so he simply stayed in White Dove City.

During this time, he met Captain Minnie who defeated the dragon.

The two of them made a vow without knowing what was going on and are now husband and wife.

When the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up - Daven continues to practice and strives to become a light-level adventurer. His wife Minnie also retires from being an adventurer and opens a flower shop.

But, the defeat was overwhelming.

The top of the secret continent lacks combat power, and the fall of the city is like a domino effect, and the defeat is unstoppable.

Small towns like Baige City on the edge of the continent were also captured by the Demon King's army.

Davin remembers that day.

There was a great Saint-level figure among the demons. He raised his hand and struck, destroying the gate of Baige City.

The city lord laid down his weapon and decided to surrender immediately.

Baige City became a colony of the demons.

The Demon King's City issued a decree: All life in the world is divided into different levels, and the indigenous people of the secret continent are the same as cats and dogs.

In other words, the price to pay for killing the indigenous people of the secret continent is no different from killing cats and dogs on the roadside.

All residents of the secret continent are slaves of the demons.

At this moment, Davin heard Minnie say that the red-eyed demon would have to eat the meat pie he had just ordered within a minute. He gritted his teeth, not daring to say anything.

If you resist orders, you will be executed by the "demon guards".

"Let's run away." Minnie said, "I don't want to stay here anymore. Every day the demons look at me like that."

"Where can we go if we run away? There is no place for us in the secret continent." Daven shook his head and sighed: "I don't know how my sister is doing now."

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you guys whispering about? My meat pie isn't ready yet."

The short-haired demon walked into the kitchen and drew his knife carelessly, "I am a star-level warrior, killing you is like killing a dog."

Star level? Humph, I'm only one step away from Light level!
Daven's eyes flashed with indignation, and he took a deep breath to suppress the rage in his heart. Minnie walked over in fear and held his hand.

"Hey, I think this woman is pretty good."

The short-haired demon circled around Minnie, with a lewd smile on his face, and touched Minnie's chest.

Bang.

The fighting spirit of thunder erupted.

Davin was breathing heavily, his heart pounding.

The kitchen knife in his hand was stained with blood.

The short-haired demon's severed arm fell to the ground with a thud.

"you dare."

puff!

Daven decided to go all out and chopped the other person's neck with a kitchen knife.

Under the power of the Extreme Moon Stage, the short-haired demon's defense was like paper. The kitchen knife easily cut a big hole in it, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

The short-haired demon covered his neck, his eyes wide in fear.

thump.

He fell to the ground and died without being able to utter a word.

"Da, Daven?" Minnie was terrified.

In the demon territory, killing a demon is a serious crime punishable by death!
"Sorry, I can't control myself." Daven held the kitchen knife tightly, his eyes full of bloodshot. "This matter has nothing to do with you. I will go to the City Lord's Mansion to surrender myself."

However, the noise in the kitchen attracted the attention of people outside.

"What's wrong? Is that guy Elu going to get beaten up by adventurers?"

"Hahaha, just kidding. They wouldn't dare to do that even if they had ten courage."

“This, this!!!”

The friends of the dead demon walked into the kitchen, laughing and arm in arm.

Seeing Ailu's body on the ground, everyone was stunned. (End of this chapter)
