A cross-dressing anime, starting with Kaguya-sama: Love Is War.

Naza saw that he was still somewhat worried, but she also knew that newcomers always have to go through a period of hardship.

She nodded, about to say something more.

Just then

A strange scraping sound came from the rock wall above.

The sound was faint, yet it carried a creepy, sticky quality.

Lynn's eyes sharpened instantly.

He suddenly looked up.

A long, thin black shadow, like an upside-down bat, suddenly dangled down from a crevice in the rock wall.

That was a mutated clown monster.

It has a twisted body and skin that is a sickly grayish-white.

Its limbs are unusually long, and its fingertips are sharp, black claws as sharp as blades.

41. You must have absolute trust in me.

The mutated clown demon had a slender body, grayish-white skin, long limbs, and sharp claws.

It hung upside down on the cliff face, like a spider waiting for its prey.

"It's a clown monster!" Naza's expression instantly turned serious.

"And it's a mutant!"

"These monsters are much more troublesome than ordinary goblins and lizards!"

"They release a fog to obscure vision and conceal their voices, making them adept at ambushes!"

"Even LV2 adventurers can get injured here, and the unlucky ones might even lose their lives!"

Before the words were finished,

A layer of pale gray mist suddenly filled the cave, rapidly spreading and obscuring everything around it.

Visibility suddenly blurred and decreased dramatically.

At the same time, the surrounding noise was swallowed up by some force, becoming unusually quiet.

Chunji subconsciously gripped the hem of Lynn's clothes and nervously looked around.

This sudden change sent a chill down her spine.

"Watch out!" Nazha shouted.

"Everyone, move closer together! Back to back! Archers, listen carefully to the sounds, Gelf is ready to provide treatment!"

"Vina, Lina! Raise your shields! Protect the backline!"

She decisively directed the dwarf sisters and the healer.

He then took out several magic stone lamps that emitted a faint glow from his backpack and threw them around.

Although these magic stone lamps are not bright enough under normal circumstances, they can be used for navigation in fog.

Then, she took out a bottle of clear medicine and quickly sprinkled it into the air.

A refreshing herbal scent spread through the fog, seemingly offsetting its effects on the senses.

The dwarf twins immediately raised their massive tower shield, protecting Lynn, Chunji, and the healer Gail behind them.

"boom!"

A dull thud resounded, and the tower shield shuddered violently.

Clearly, the clown has launched an attack.

“It’s over there!” Naza’s voice rang out in the mist, her longbow already fully drawn.

"Watch out for its claws, they're poisonous!"

Whoosh!

Another arrow was shot out, but it only grazed the clown's afterimage and embedded itself in the rock wall.

Then, something even more chilling happened.

As the clown let out a sharp screech, countless dark shadows began to appear on the surrounding rock walls.

One after another, dungeon lizards, with brown skin...

Its limbs were thick and strong, and it roamed haphazardly across the rock walls and ceiling, making a hissing friction sound.

"Damn it! It's summoning its own kind!" Naza's face turned extremely ugly.

The situation instantly became even more passive.

"hiss--!"

A gecko suddenly pounced on the dwarf sisters' tower shield, making a piercing scratching sound.

Naza continuously drew back her longbow, arrows flying with a powerful gust of wind.

The shot accurately struck the oncoming underground gecko, temporarily relieving some of the pressure.

However, the mutated clown monster moved through the fog like a ghost.

Its sharp claws have always been its greatest threat.

"careful!"

Naza's voice was filled with anxiety.

The mutated clown's movements were incredibly fast; it suddenly emerged from the fog and bypassed the tower's shield.

"what!"

The dwarf sister Vina cried out in pain as the clown's claws slashed her left arm, leaving a deep, bone-revealing gash from which blood gushed forth.

Naza's expression changed; she knew the claw was poisonous.

"Gerald, treatment!"

She quickly took out a bottle of antidote from her waist and anxiously sprinkled it on Vina's wound.

Without Naza's arrows to restrain them, the dungeon geckos became even more unrestrained. They roared and charged towards the tower shield position in droves.

"boom!"

Another loud bang, and the tower shield creaked under the strain as it was struck by several geckos simultaneously.

"A gecko has gotten in!"

Lina shouted anxiously.

A nimble dungeon gecko, taking advantage of the moment when the dwarf sisters were surrounded, suddenly squeezed through the gap in the tower shield and pounced on Gailf behind her.

Naza reacted quickly, suddenly drawing the dagger from her waist and flashing forward, precisely stabbing it into the gecko's head.

The gecko twitched twice and then collapsed to the ground with a thud.

However, even more goblins and dungeon geckos surged in like a tide, emitting piercing screams.

"We can't hold on any longer! Commander, think of something quick!"

Lina's shield was already on the verge of collapse.

Naza's amber eyes quickly swept across her surroundings. She gritted her teeth and gave the order.

"Retreat gradually! Holding the position is no longer an option!"

"Just follow your instincts and see if you can run into other adventurers who can help you!"

She then turned to Lynn and Chunji, her voice urgent: "You two, hide behind Gail!"

Lynn shook his head, took a step forward, and stood in front of Chunji.

"Captain Nazha, we must fight too."

"I have a buff skill that might be useful."

Lynn's gaze swept over Nazha and her teammates. "But you have to trust me absolutely, can you do that?"

Born into wealth and privilege.

There's no point in hiding this ability; you'll have to use it sooner or later.

As soon as he finished speaking,

Several more goblins and dungeon geckos roared as they broke through the dwarf sisters' tower shield defenses and were about to charge into the center of the group.

The situation was critical, so they decided to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.

Naza looked into Lynn's calm eyes and felt a jolt in her heart.

She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth.

"no problem!"

She shouted to her squad, "From this moment on, trust Lynn completely!"

42. Lynn was born rich.

After receiving Nazha's affirmative answer, Lynn no longer hesitated.

He took a deep breath, stood still, and an invisible aura suddenly spread out from him.

"Om-"

A faint, almost imperceptible light emerged and flowed from beneath Lynn's feet.

The air was filled with the deep roar of a dragon.

"What...what is this?"

Naza's eyes were filled with disbelief and shock.

The next second, three illusory little golden dragons coiled around Lynn's body and emerged.

They are small in size, but lifelike.

Under the astonished gazes of Nazha and her teammates,

The three small golden dragons transformed into three streams of light, shooting towards Nazha and the dwarf sisters Vina and Lina respectively.

The moment the golden light entered my body, I felt an indescribable sensation.

Naza felt her body had never felt so light, and her strength, speed, and reaction time were all enhanced in an incredible way at that moment.

Even the wound on Vina's arm felt cool and the pain was significantly reduced.

"What...what kind of ability is this?!" the dwarf sisters exclaimed in unison, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Naza's amber eyes narrowed suddenly; she had never seen such a peculiar buff skill before.

What surprised her even more was that she was certain that her abilities in all aspects had improved significantly.

"Hurry up!" Lynn's voice, tinged with urgency, interrupted their shock.

"My ability has a time limit; it only lasts ten minutes!"

"Furthermore, my dexterity will decrease, so you must protect me!"

Naza's heart skipped a beat.

Ten minutes were the key to their turning the tide.

"Listen to Lynn!" Naza suddenly swung her longbow, issuing a deafening command.

"Counterattack! Counterattack with all your might!"

The enhanced dwarf sisters moved with even greater speed.

Vina's tower shield felt weightless in her hands, each swing accompanied by a whooshing sound.

She no longer simply defended, but took the initiative to attack.

"boom!"

A dungeon lizard attempting a sneak attack was slammed away by Vina's tower shield, crashing into a rock wall and deforming its body.

Lina wielded her battle axe with impenetrable force, each strike powerful and heavy.
