After leaving the team, the adventurers regretted it

Equipment level 33, named [Antlion Tentacles], can provide a large amount of strength bonus.

The overall evaluation is not much inferior to his level 36, epic three-star [Chlorophyte Ring].

The higher the quality, the greater the improvement each additional star brings.

But Linda and the others are at a relatively high level, so wearing [Antlion Arms and Feet] is a bit redundant, so selling them is a better option.

The golden light fell, and he gained 10 experience points after clearing the sixteenth level. Linda broke through from level 37 and officially reached level 38.

There are only two steps away from the moon stage.

"Congratulations." Aike held Linda's hand happily, "You will become a legendary adventurer in the future, but don't forget me."

Linda nodded: "No."

After taking a short rest, everyone entered the 17th floor of the secret realm.

The 17th floor is called [Trap Jungle], and there are many weird killer plants inside. If you are not careful, you may be hung up by the vines, or swallowed by the morning glory.

There are many dormant poisonous snakes in the jungle. If an adventurer is bitten and does not prepare the corresponding antidote, he will die within five minutes.

At this time, Kafeni, a thief, comes in handy.

Kafeni has the skill [Danger Sense] and excellent mental power. He can scan potential monsters like a radar and point out the direction for Echo to attack.

It only took 11 minutes for them to arrive in front of the guardian of the secret realm, [Fang Chameleon].

"Wait a minute, let me show off my skills first."

Kafeni licked his lips, rolled up his sleeves, opened his right hand towards the fanged chameleon entrenched in the tree, and shouted: "Super thief!"

Dazzling golden light flashed.

The next moment, purple fangs as thick as an arm appeared in Kafeni's palm.

The poison was stained with sticky saliva, and the saliva fell to the ground with a hiss, corroding a hole in the soil.

Linda looked at it and praised: "Epic one-star material can be sold for about 50 gold coins."

"This is my personal trophy." Kafeni chuckled and put the fang into the space ring.

Linda didn't stop.

The trophies obtained by [Super Thief] during the crusade against the Fire Giant cannot be kept privately by Kafeni.

Before that, he tried his best to satisfy Kafeni so that Kafeni would be embarrassed to monopolize it when he reached the 19th floor. Although Linda, as the captain, can force Kafeni to order him, he hopes that Kafeni can consciously consider the team.

After a battle.

The Venomous Chameleon was firmly captured.

Linda's level reached level 38, 124364/700000.

Whoosh.

The blue return magic circle appeared in front of me.

According to the agreement, the crusade on the 16th and 17th floors was over, and it was time for Aiko, the temporary team member, to leave.

Linda took out a bulging small bag with 200 purple gold coins in it. He handed it to Echo: "This is the reward."

"No, I won't be an adventurer anymore and I won't need the money. Can I exchange the reward for something else?"

After saying that, Ai Ke suddenly came over, put his feet up, and kissed Linda on the cheek.

"There will be no regrets now."

Looking at Linda's stunned expression, Aike said cheerfully.

...

in the afternoon.

South Gate of Baige City.

Outside the city gate, there is a barren yellow land, with no green in sight.

All the weak monsters had been killed by the adventurers long ago, and only birds occasionally passed by in the sky.

All the members of Luanweihua and Xueyan came to see Aike off.

Under the setting sun, a group of people gathered around Ai Ke and said some farewell words.

Linda had been upset since entering the secret realm. She stood there and subconsciously touched her cheek. The area where she had been kissed felt itchy.

"If you encounter trouble in the future, remember to contact us."

"Even if we retire, we are still friends."

"Eke, do you really want to leave? Can't you stay?"

Everyone in Xueyan gathered around Ai Ke, talking in various directions.

Kanei and Crona cried, and a big man from Orlu also wiped his eyes with the back of his hand against the wind, saying that there was sand in them.

Even Captain Leah softened her words and told Echo that she would miss her in the future.

"I will miss you all too." Ai Ke smiled stiffly.

How to end.

Ai Ke doesn’t know anymore.

We can only hope that the plan will develop smoothly.

"Why don't you go over and say something?" Lulu walked to Linda and whispered: "After all, we are old teammates who have been together for three years."

Linda didn't reply and looked at the people not far away in trance.

About ten meters ahead, there was a carriage with the flag of the Holy Rock Adventure Group.

The driver was a man with a long golden ponytail, holding a grass root in his mouth and looking at the sky in boredom.

The man yawned and looked at Ai Ke from time to time, urging him with his eyes.

Linda recognized the other party, [Smiling Swordsman] Bovis from Nanyan City, Aike's eldest brother.

After boarding the carriage, Echo will disappear from White Pigeon City and will most likely never interact with the adventurers again.

If it is just for a comfortable life, the decision to retire is not wrong.

Linda thought to himself that climbing the World Tree was inherently risky. As a veteran player who had cleared the game many times, he had to be very alert and approach each level with caution.

Retiring is Aike's best choice.

Knowing this, Linda felt as if a hole had opened in her chest, and cold wind rushed in.

At this time, Aike crossed the crowd and walked up to him.

"Here, a farewell gift."

Aiko handed over a white suitcase.

Linda opened it doubtfully.

"This is?"

Contained inside is a set of orange rare quality, level 40 moon-level equipment for light mage.

At today's market price, orange moon-level equipment costs 400 purple gold coins. The complete set in the suitcase is six pieces, which is 2400 coins.

This is a huge sum of money!

Linda looked at Aike in surprise. When Aike ran away from home, he must have emptied the trophy storage room of the Holy Rock Adventure Group?

"I can't accept such a valuable thing." Linda refused.

Ai Ke shook his head, "Anyway, I won't need it after I retire. Rather than leaving it under the bed to gather dust, it would be better to hand it over to Luan Weihua's future light mage."

"And Leah..." Aiko took out a savings card, "There are 200 purple gold coins in it. Consider it as my sponsorship for Xueyan's adventure."

Leah's hands were shaking a little: "Why give it to me?"

"Ordinary people only need 10,000 gold coins to live a comfortable life. Besides, my family is a Chaoyang-level adventure group. You can take it."

Taking advantage of being taller than Leah, Echo touched the little head of Leah who was in the circle, and said with a smile: "I just discovered recently that I don't really hate you as the captain."

Linda frowned: "Eke, let me ask you one last time. Is this what you really think? Do you really want to retire and be an ordinary person instead of continuing to be an adventurer?"

Everyone looked at Aiko eagerly.

Leah clenched her fists, feeling a little nervous.

She usually always quarreled with Aike, but Aike really left, and she and Crona were the only ones left in Xueyan's huge villa.

Crona ran to the luanwei flower all day long, which meant that only Leah was left in the villa.

It was too deserted.

Not as a captain, but as a friend.

Leah wants Echo to stay.

Chapter 423 Aiko’s Revenge Diary

Aike tilted his head, not daring to look into Leah's eyes.

She thought for a while and said, "Yeah. It's much easier to be the lady of a big family than an exhausted adventurer."

"Yeah..."

Leah's face turned pale and she shook her little head.

"When Xueyan becomes a legendary adventure group, I will go find you."

"Ah? Then I won't be able to see you for the rest of my life?"

Echo said jokingly.

"It's time to go," Bovis called from afar.

Everyone put Aike on the carriage.

Bovis sat in the driver's seat and said with a smile: "Thank you for taking care of my sister for the past three years. After that, Shengyan will continue to take good care of her, don't worry."

The reins flicked.

The majestic black flame horse neighed and raised its front hooves.

"and many more."

At this time, Linda held down the black flame horse's head.

"Eco, are you hiding something from us?"

Linda looked at the carriage with the curtain drawn and said in a solemn voice: "Why are you retiring suddenly? Someone is making things difficult for you?"

Leah was stunned for a moment, looked at Bovis's gloomy expression, and instantly realized that the Holy Rock Adventure Group might be causing trouble in this matter.

She followed Linda and stopped in front of the carriage: "If you have any difficulties, just tell us and we will help you!"

Bang!

The moon-level fighting spirit of the earth element suddenly broke out.

Like a wall of earth pushing forward, Leah was hit hard, eyes flashing with stars, and she sat down on the ground.

Although Bovis was merciful, the blow did little damage but was extremely insulting. Leah was lying on her back, and the black safety pants under her short skirt were completely exposed.

Leah bared her teeth at Bovis: "Little eyes, do you want to fight?"

Small eyes... Bovis's face twitched, and his squinting eyes widened a little. He shook his head helplessly and said coldly:

"Please don't make unreasonable troubles. The person in front of you is the deputy leader of the Chaoyang-level adventure group Shengyan and a level 43 moon-level adventurer. For Ai Ke's sake, I won't care about him this time."

"Moon Stage... is it very powerful?"

When Leah was so angry that her face turned red and she was speechless, Linda had already finished singing the Green Shield.

He held down the black flame horse's head with one hand, and the looming black magic power in his palm made the horse's limbs tremble and it lay on the ground in fear.

Bovis' eyes changed.

Earthy brown fighting spirit rose up, like a heavy boulder, pressing on everyone's hearts.

At this time, Tasia snorted coldly, and the wind fighting energy surged out, turning into an invisible blade, cutting the "boulder" into fist-sized pieces.
