After leaving the team, the adventurers regretted it

Ike, I heard that the Snow Goose Adventure Team you're in is about to break through the 19th floor.

Well done.

I misjudged you, you are not a loser, father... is proud of you."

"Ah."

Echo responded softly.

After three years of cold war between father and daughter, it finally ended.

Although she won in the end, Aiko was not as happy as she had thought.

Seeing the crisscrossing wrinkles on Rochelle's face, Echo felt a little sad.

"Come here," said Eco.

"What are you doing?" Rochelle asked cautiously, "Even if I lost an arm, you still can't beat me."

But Echo did not chant the Light Spear Technique to attack Rochelle. She just walked over and hugged her.

Rochelle was stunned, his mouth wide open in astonishment. Seeing the sly smile in Echo's eyes, he sighed, "She's exactly like your mother..."

A simple hug means that the father and daughter have officially reconciled.

...

After the pleasantries.

"Captain Rochelle, I have something to ask..."

Linda: "What did you encounter in the 20th floor of the Great Secret Realm?"

When talking about the 20th level of the Great Secret Realm, the expressions of the three people immediately became solemn.

No adventurer can face this topic calmly.

There is a saying that the real world tree starts from the 20th floor.

According to the information Linda had, Rochelle was not the only one injured on the 20th floor. The leader of the Red Heart Adventure Group in Red Heart City, Alajie, was also in a worrying condition.

Unlike previous Great Secret Realms, the 20th, 25th, and 30th level Great Secret Realms are located in the same "world", but are divided into areas according to the number of levels.

The partition formed by the goddess's divine power separates the three levels of adventurers.

The secret realms on levels 20-30 are collectively called the "Ten Thousand Mountains".

There are a total of one hundred thousand mountains, and each one hides monsters and leaders!

There is no resource area where you can pick materials with peace of mind.

The weak ones entering the 20th floor are themselves “resources”.

The Holy Rock Adventure Group has been climbing the 20th floor for more than ten years and is quite experienced. They are very familiar with the terrain.

Linda couldn't help but wonder what exactly happened.

“Because of a miracle.”

Rochelle replied.

He subconsciously touched his right arm, but there was nothing there. He was stunned for a moment, and his mood became a little heavy.

"Sure enough." Linda and Aiko looked at each other and thought to themselves at the same time.

Recalling the scene of that day, Rochelle's eyes showed a hint of fear, and he said:

“I watched with my own eyes as a miraculous ball of light fell into the valley, and the Holy Rock happened to be very close to that place.

I was very happy and thought I was lucky.

But when he led the team members there... they were ambushed by demon adventurers!

These bastards deliberately kept the Miracle Light Ball and waited for us to fall into their trap!"

I'm not afraid of confronting monsters head-on, I'm just afraid of a group of demons lying in the bushes!

"What are their characteristics?" Linda asked in a deep voice.

"That group of people are from the [Masquerade] Adventure Group."

Rochelle said: “This is not the first time Shengyan has fought against them, but we have been defeated every time. We have never even met their leader!

There were seven people who ambushed Shengyan in the valley this time.

They wore masks with ghost horns on their faces, and on the right side of their faces were different suit patterns from playing cards.

The leader of the seven is a man.

On the right side of the mask, there is a gray clown.

Based on this speculation, this person may be the deputy head of the group."

Rochelle gritted his teeth unwillingly and said, "That guy is very strong. He wields a fierce and domineering sword. I am no match for him at all. He lost an arm in just three moves. This is the result of the team members desperately covering him and luckily getting what they want."

After hearing this, Linda and Aiko were filled with disbelief.

Defeat Rochelle in three moves?

Can Rochelle escape back, or does he have to rely on the protection of his teammates?

Even so, the other party is only the vice-leader of the [Masked Ball].

The real leader is hiding behind the scenes and has not shown up.

The strength of this adventure group is somewhat terrifying!

Chapter 464: Formal Alliance, the Reluctant Bear Roar Adventure Group

The hot summer wind blew in through the broken French windows, and the cooling array increased its power, making a whistling sound.

Linda frowned, feeling a little annoyed.

Since there is a powerful demon adventure group like [Masquerade], he has to reconsider the strategy for the 20th floor secret realm.

The 20th floor, named the Hundred Thousand Mountains, has a level range of 40-49 and contains many legendary monsters.

Hell for the weak and heaven for the strong.

It is also the cradle of legendary equipment!

When the Hundred Thousand Mountains are opened, a certain amount of legendary equipment will definitely be revealed. Killing the monster leader on the mountain will also give you rich rewards...

It is like a bright light, attracting adventurers to rush into it.

It's dangerous, but we have to go.

Starting from the 20th floor, the difficulty of the small secret realms behind it increases exponentially.

Obtain resources from the big secret realm, convert them into combat power, and then break through the small secret realm.

This is a universal path regardless of the game world or the real other world.

Seeing the burning fighting spirit in Linda's eyes, Rochelle knew that he was not afraid of it. He nodded slightly, and a hint of admiration rose in his heart.

Rochelle warned, "Linda, and Echo, listen carefully. When you go to the 20th floor, if you see an adventurer wearing a mask with a poker suit on the right side of his face, don't act rashly.

Courage and recklessness are not the same thing.

When you see them, just one word: run.

Run as far as you can!

Based on my experience of exploring the 20th floor for more than ten years, all adventurers who did not learn how to escape died.

No matter how strong you are, there will always be someone stronger than you.

[Masquerade] Those bastards, the lowest level is 43.

As far as I can tell from my personal experience, the deputy captain who uses a greatsword is at least level 46!

Moreover, the aura of that big sword was extremely powerful.

My axe hit it and a gap appeared on the spot.

It is impossible to do that with non-legendary weapons."

Rochelle gnashed his teeth and said, "I'm not exaggerating that bastard on purpose. Objectively speaking, his strength is higher than you and me. Even if we let the Adventurer Weekly rate him, he would have nine stars, or even close to ten stars."

What this means is that the deputy leader of the masked ball is a monster-level adventurer, just like Linda.

After a moment of silence, Linda nodded and said, "Captain Rochelle, thank you for letting me know."

“Don’t call me Captain, just call me by my name. You and I are both Moon Stage, so we can be friends.” Rochelle said dissatisfiedly.

Linda: ...

Adventurers in the secret land don't care much about seniority, and those who have achieved success are first. But as a time traveler, it is a bit difficult for Linda to be on good terms with his future father-in-law.

After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them walked out of the meeting room side by side.

On the way downstairs, Linda rubbed his chin and thought secretly about the adventure group "Masquerade".

There are no side quests to defeat them in the game.

On the other hand, [Ghost Adventure Group] and [Dragon's Tomb], the former is a small side quest, and the latter is the main quest, which is part of the game content.

But Linda had played the game dozens of times and had never heard of any masked ball.

Just like he just realized now that Echo is a sinister person and Leah is a fool...

It can be understood that the existence of the masked ball is suspected to be a butterfly effect caused by his travel through time.

“The deputy leader of the Masked Ball is a great swordsman of at least level 46.

And like me, he has a legendary weapon, and his Adventurer's Weekly rating is also the same, nine stars.

Unless I use the third gear of Demon Heart Slash to hit him head-on, I have a chance of winning.

There is no doubt that this person is a formidable enemy!"

Linda felt awe-inspiring.

The area around Baige City was under the jurisdiction of Longmian Tomb, and this Masked Ball Adventure Group was no exception. It was very likely that he had been targeted by the other party.

"I wonder how that deputy leader compares to Wogang. My personal guess is that the other party's strength is probably not as strong as Wogang's."

Recalling that brief fight, Linda had to admit that he could not defeat Wogang in his normal state. The little wolf king was of a high level, had rich combat experience, and his talent and equipment were also top-notch.

If the deputy leader of the masked ball had the strength of Wogang, not to mention breaking Rochelle's arm in three moves, Linda suspected that Rochelle would die in one encounter.

Right now, there is still more than half a month before the 20th level of the secret realm opens.

Lin Damuo said silently that he had to continue practicing and master his rare skills.

The two major moves, Demon Flame Strike and Demon Heart Slash, still have room for improvement.

His swordsmanship is just at a passable level, relying entirely on his attribute values. He is far behind the swordsmanship master.

"We must take our opponents seriously, but we should not underestimate ourselves. The Luanweihua Adventure Team will not necessarily be at a disadvantage when encountering a masked ball."

Linda was promoted to the Moon Stage and mastered powerful rare skills, and so did his teammates.

Monica and the other three still have witch powers to use.

The fear of the masked ball is not as serious as the rat seeing the cat.

But, avoid it if you can.

Just practice quietly first, and when the level of Luanweihua is raised, the balance of advantage will tilt.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the third floor.

Linda glanced and saw that the members of Xionghou and Zijingshi had already left.

After meeting up with Bovis, everyone went to the hall together.

"From today on, Shengyan and Luanweihua will form an alliance. We will be each other's most steadfast allies!"

Rochelle stood on the high platform, his voice was like a loud bell, making people's ears numb.

Upon hearing the results of the meeting, everyone looked incredulous.

Everyone knew that the real purpose of this meeting was for Lores and Xiong Ji to force Sheng Yan to submit.

The mine belongs to Xionghou, and the person in charge this year is the Bauhinia Stone family of Lores.
