In the forest at night.

The fox-orc played with the gleaming throwing knife, its eyes narrowed into crescents, its expression quite kind, and its tail swaying happily.

But those who know him well know that this is a precursor to abusing his prey.

His greatest hobby was cutting through his prey's body with throwing knives and listening to their exquisite screams.

Looking at the fox-like beastman in black leather armor blocking her way, Linda thought of a name: [The Slayer] Fox.

Level 43, Moon-rank Adventurer, from the Bear Roar Adventure Team in Nanyan City.

"I have no grudge against you, why is that?"

Linda asked calmly.

"Because you are the captain of the Phoenix Flower, a man who has the potential to become the leader of the Rising Sun-level adventure team."

Foxy was like a cat playing with a mouse, her voice soft and charming. She used a throwing knife to trim her pink-painted nails, feeling that after a little dressing up, she could look like a man.

"The resource zone of White Dove City belongs to our South Rock City and Red Peach City. If the Phoenix Tail Flower is promoted to the Rising Sun level, wouldn't that mean that the resources we can obtain will decrease?"

Fox Er looked completely at ease, speaking in a manner similar to that of a plant-like female fox, despite being a male fox.

Incidentally, the name "Little Moss Girl" comes from the fact that they grow moss underneath their bodies and have an arrogant attitude, making them disliked by most adventurers.

However, there are a few male turtles who enjoy fawning over young women.

After all, moss is one of the turtles' favorite foods.

Linda said, "You're wrong, those resources originally belonged to White Dove City."

"No, no, no—I've been sleeping at your house, so your house is mine. It's wrong of you to kick me out."

Foxman explained methodically: "My original mission was to go to the lair of the Forest Dragon, kill the young dragons, and steal the treasures, but someone beat me to it. When the Forest Dragon arrived, I ran away, and I didn't expect to be on the same road as you."

"Captain Linda, this doesn't seem like a coincidence. Who... who killed the baby dragon?"

Fox was sarcastic and had an elegant "elf finger" gesture, showing no trace of the masculine spirit of an orc.

"Just tell me, what do you want?"

Linda felt a little tricky.

"You should know in your heart what I want."

Fox strolled over, tossing his throwing knife around like a ball.

A sudden pressure struck, and Linda's expression changed as she secretly mobilized all her magical power.

There is also deceit and treachery among adventurers. They are not the kind of close friends who shout about friendship and bonds and then get into a passionate fight to defeat the demon king and entrust their lives to each other.

Most adventure teams, especially orc adventure teams that are not on good terms with humans and elves, will prioritize their own interests.

Slaying the Demon King? That's something legendary adventurers should worry about; what does it have to do with me?

The most realistic goal is to accumulate more gold coins.

The existence of the Phoenix Tail Flower has inadvertently threatened the interests of Nanyan City.

If Lin Da becomes the captain of the Rising Sun-level adventure team, he will undoubtedly protect the resource area of ​​White Dove City and repel the invaders.

So some people felt uncomfortable.

Fox had a faint smile on his lips, and that composure made Linda feel insulted.

But Linda also understood the reason for Fox's arrogance. No matter how high the potential of the Phoenix Flower team was, it was only evaluated as having the potential to become a sunrise-level adventure team, while Fox was a genuine sunrise-level member.

Even though the Phoenix Flower is very famous, in the eyes of the current Chaoyang-level members, she is at most a slightly older child.

"The Sword of Protection!"

As Foxy drew closer, Linda gritted her teeth, forcibly activated her magic circuit, and used her second ultimate move.

It had been about three hours since he last used it.

The magic circuit needs to cool down slightly before there is a chance of success.

Even so, Linda still has to pay the price.

For some time to come, it may be impossible to activate the Guardian Sword smoothly.

That was all he could do at that moment.

Relying solely on the Azure Shield, I lack the confidence to withstand the attacks of a Moon-rank adventurer.

A giant crescent-shaped sword light slashed towards Hu Er.

Faced with this protective sword, Fox smiled contemptuously, and with a flick of his crystal-clear throwing knife, he deflected the sword light that Linda had unleashed into the air.

But Linda didn't expect the Guardian Sword to hurt the opponent.

What he needs is the light shield that comes with the Guardian Sword.

Dual shields deployed simultaneously, with a thickness of tens of thousands!

Fox rushed in front of her, and Linda attacked her with a Venom Orb.

With a whoosh, Fox disappeared and reappeared behind Linda.

The target is... Tasia on his back!

Linda's expression changed, and she forcibly turned her body to face the enemy head-on.

He would rather be attacked himself than let Tasia be harmed.

Given Tasia's weakened physical condition, a single blow from Fox would likely kill her on the spot.

"You're a captain with a lot of loyalty and righteousness, but unfortunately, the kind of person I, Fox, hate the most is someone like you!"

Fox's gaze turned cold as he thrust his knife towards Linda.

Click!

Bang!

The Emerald Shield and the Guardian Shield shattered one after another, and the flying knife struck Linda's life barrier.

His source core was impacted, and a sharp pain shot through the depths of his skull.

It felt like a swarm of ants were gnawing at the blood vessels in his head, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

Fortunately, the dual shields absorbed a large amount of damage, and Linda only lost 2740 HP.

It's equivalent to an attack from a Moon-rank adventurer; a single hit can deal over 10,000 damage.

Linda suddenly realized that when Mingli attacked, the opponent had indeed held back. Considering the possibility that she was the Shadow of Darkness, Mingli only dared to launch probing attacks.

There was no time to think further.
