After leaving the team, the adventurers regretted it

In terms of the strength of the team members, they are fully qualified as a rock-level team.

Only the number of layers is different.

"The fourth level, Dark Night City, has the highest chance of entering this secret realm at 1:0 on the 0st of every month."

Linda took out the pocket watch left by her sister from the space ring.

Finally back to the starting point of everything.

The pocket watch was opened and the melody inside sounded, a very familiar song from my hometown.

There is a small photo on the watch case. Lin Xi is holding his arm with an energetic look on his face and making a scissors hand gesture.

A very lively girl.

After traveling through time, Lin Xi changed from a sickly person to a healthy person with a strong talent for adventure. His fighting ability is not inferior to that of Leah, and his brain is better than that of Leah.

The brother-sister relationship between the two did not fade because of the loss of blood relationship due to time travel, but became even stronger. They are not only family members, but also teammates who have been through life and death together.

Lin Xi’s disappearance on the fourth floor was a huge blow to all members of Xueyan.

Linda was depressed for a while, and Leah became more and more devoted to personal power and pursued speed.

Perhaps it was the departure of Lin Xi, a high-output fighter, that made everyone feel the pressure.

If Lin Xi had stayed in Xueyan all the time, the situation would be very different now.

Chapter 177 Preparations for departure to the fourth floor, the news brought by Leah

Linda thought that with Lin Xi's company, Leah might not become annoying, and everyone would be happy and keep climbing.

Later on, there was no such thing as quitting the team and establishing Luanweihua.

It can only be said that fate is unpredictable.

Linda couldn't tell which situation was better, all he could do was try his best to move forward.

Looking absentmindedly at the photo of the smiling black-haired girl in his pocket watch, Linda said silently in his heart:

I will definitely find clues to my sister's disappearance on the fourth floor. Even if Lin Xi falls, I will pull her out of the abyss.

That's right,

Linda was worried about the worst possibility.

Lin Xi's power, which began to surge from the middle stage, was extremely similar to that of the witch!

The only difference is that the stronger Lin Xi's strength becomes, the weaker his body becomes.

There was no pollution attack in the middle of the night, and he was killed by the backlash.

A bit like a witch, but not quite.

But what if... what if this situation of turning into a witch really happens, Lin Da will cure Lin Xi even if she has to force her.

There are still three days until the 1st of next month.

In the past two days, Linda went to the wild to kill monsters as usual.

Day 3, evening.

There are about four hours left, and it will be 0:0.

Linda held a combat meeting with two team members in the room, reminding them of some precautions for entering the Dark Night City.

It was a city with a low-magic background in the Middle Ages in the West. Most people were ordinary people without any power. There was no magic or fighting spirit.

But on the other hand, some extraordinary people can use magic gems to briefly exert extraordinary powers.

Overall, there is a huge difference between them and adventurers, which is equivalent to the difference between a strong man and a baby.

However, there are only three of Linda's group, so it would be very troublesome if they were besieged.

There are weapons like "fire guns" in the Dark Night City. Linda's life barrier can easily block thousands of bullets.

But Monica is a mage, a fragile one, who can only block a few hundred bullets. It is not cost-effective for her to go against the large army of Dark Night City.

Linda's strategy is to act secretly and start the investigation from the place where Lin Xi disappeared.

In the room, Kafni sat on a cushion in a duck-like posture, raised his hand and asked: "What if a scoundrel sets his eyes on my body? I can't stand it."

"Then kill him." Linda looked at Monica, rubbed the big loli's head, and said, "Don't hold back when necessary, use magic when necessary, at most we can use the scroll to return to the city and fight again."

"Okay, got it." Monica nodded with relief.

Although it is important to investigate clues about her sister, Linda will prioritize the safety of her team members.

According to the rules of the World Tree, there is one chance to use the Town Portal Scroll on each level.

Linda had exactly three cards, enough for the whole team. Plus, Luanweihua's combat power was comparable to rock level... It wouldn't be a problem to explore the fourth floor in depth.

The mysterious forces hidden inside might even trigger rewards from the World Tree Goddess.

Linda was quite interested.

"Lin Xi has an active personality. If he comes into contact with a mysterious force, he will definitely explore it in depth."

Linda guessed that investigating the mysterious forces in Dark Night City might be the first step to getting closer to her sister.

pat.

While the meeting was in progress, a small stone hit the window from outside.

Linda opened the window and looked in with a frown.

In the night, one can vaguely make out the figure of a short-haired girl wearing an eye mask, with her hands behind her back, poking a small stone with her toes in an awkward manner.

"Leah?"

After going downstairs, Linda looked at the other person in confusion.

This short-haired girl is the captain of Xueyan, Leah, who would quarrel with him whenever she met him.

Today, Leah was very calm and said straight to the point, "Is Luanweihua going to the fourth floor?"

"how do you know?"

"I heard it from Isa." Leah's expression was a little complicated. Now to find out about Linda, she had to ask her competitor Isa.

"Oh, I met her yesterday and mentioned it." Linda did not deny it.

"Are you here to...bless us?"

"Don't, don't talk so weird! Blessings and stuff, it's only natural for you to pass the fourth level!" Leah couldn't stand hearing such corny words. She felt that things like blessings and bonds were childish and did not suit her identity as a mature adventurer.

"Then what are you here for?" Linda wondered.

"Lin Xi."

Leah suddenly said, "Are you going to investigate the clues of Lin Xi's disappearance? I finally succeeded in changing my profession and fought the World Tree again. As expected... I have to go to the Dark Night City."

"Yes." Linda nodded, "I think Lin Xi is not dead. She is somewhere on this continent."

Leah shook her head: "I don't think so. Lin Xi might really be dead."

Seeing Linda's expression suddenly become extremely bad, Leah's heart tightened and she quickly explained:

"I'm not kidding. I suddenly remembered yesterday that more than two years ago, the night before we entered the fourth floor, Lin Xi came to see me alone..."

"What!?" Linda glared at Leah angrily, "Why did you just remember it now?"

"I, I didn't mean it." Leah had never seen Linda really angry before. Her face turned pale and she took a half step back. But she soon realized that as a level 26 adventurer, she was frightened by Linda. It was very embarrassing, so she quickly straightened her weak chest:

"Lin Xi only said, let me take good care of you. As a captain, this is what I should do, right? Of course, I didn't take this kind of thing to heart."

Linda thought about it and sighed helplessly. It seemed that she really couldn't blame Leah. With Leah's careless personality, how could she notice Lin Xi's subtle changes?

He himself also has some responsibility. Before entering the fourth floor, Lin Xi once said, "There is no point in taking risks" and "It is better to give up climbing the World Tree."

Linda just thought that Lin Xi's condition had worsened, so he comforted her with a few soft words without thinking much about it.

Perhaps Lin Xi had undergone some major psychological changes at that time, which led to the disappearance of the fourth floor.

"Liya, thank you for coming here to tell me all this." Linda placed his big hand on Leah's head.

The red hair is very smooth and feels no worse than Monica's.

“You, what are you doing? I’m not a child anymore!” Leah’s face changed. She slapped his hand away and said unhappily, “Fourth floor, come back alive to me! You must not lose to the World Tree before I defeat you!”

Leah walked away angrily, her short hair tied into a ponytail swaying and seemed to have become longer.

Isn't this just to send blessings? Linda shook her head and laughed.

Two hours before midnight, Linda, Monica, and Kafni arrived at the World Tree in a carriage.

When the time on the pocket watch returned to zero, they walked into the World Tree and took out their respective teleportation stones.

"Fourth floor, teleport."

Linda muttered to himself, and he and the other members of his team turned into light blue light and disappeared into the World Tree.

Chapter 178: The fourth floor of the World Tree, Dark Night City

The fourth level, the dark night city.

The sky was dark, with dark clouds rolling in, brewing a rainstorm.

On a road in the wilderness, a carriage was speeding towards the city ahead.

In the spacious car compartment.

Linda felt terrible.

He had iron cuffs on his hands, his damp clothes stuck to his back, and the floor beneath his feet was wet.

There was mud and messy footprints, it was a mess and very upsetting to look at.

The people around him who were wearing the same grey short-sleeved shirts as him hadn’t taken a shower for who knows how long, and they exuded an unpleasant body odor.

Linda and his teammates were probably taken care of by the World Tree Goddess, so they were relatively clean. Monica, who was sitting next to him, smelled as sweet as usual.

In this dark environment, one would really like to hug the big Loli and sleep soundly in the warm bed.

Linda looked around.

In this plot-based secret realm, their starting point is a moving carriage.

The role he played was... a prisoner? A slave? Anyway, it seemed like a very low status.

The equipment on his body disappeared, but the attribute values ​​were still there. Linda opened the panel and took a look. The dual attack was still 953.

For an average adult, the strength value fluctuates between 8 and 10 points, while top fighters can reach 30.

In this low-magic world, without contact with hidden mysterious forces, the strength of the Luanweihua team is overwhelming.

There was a cold wind blowing overhead. Linda raised his eyes and saw several holes in the black tarpaulin of the carriage. Through the holes, he could see the dark sky and thick dark clouds outside, with lightning flashing in the middle.

Heavy rain is coming soon.

In this shabby carriage, you're guaranteed to be soaked.

Both Monica and him looked at him inquiringly.

Linda shook her head, signaling everyone not to act rashly.

There was a flash of light in his hand, and a leaf the size of a palm appeared.

Just call it with magic power and it will appear.

Linda asked the team members to call out the leaves, on which were written the adventure goals set by the World Tree Goddess.

"Damn it! I don't want to be attacked by a werewolf. Run faster and try to get into the city before midnight!"

A bearded burly man wearing a red armband leaned his head out of the carriage and growled at the driver.

Then, the sturdy man returned to the carriage with a gloomy face and looked at the people sitting on the two rows of benches, with pale faces and tattered clothes.

Those were slaves purchased by the organization, both men and women, young and old, they were wearing iron handcuffs, and each of them trembled under the rubber stick on his waist.

"Listen carefully, my name is Raiser, and I'm your officer in charge!"

"All of you must obey me as you would obey God! Otherwise, I will let you taste the stick!"

"Start the roll call now!"
