"Are you alright?" Lulu greeted her.

Monica forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, Captain. Hasn't the captain arrived yet?"

Lulu shook her head.

Buzz buzz buzz~

Just then, a ladybug with a sensor flew over.

Lulu and the others thought it was Linda, but when they looked over, they were greatly disappointed.

Thanks to the ladybug, the interrupted adventure live stream has finally resumed.

Outside, tens of thousands of adventurers are worried about them.

As soon as the live feed resumed, a dense array of suggestions immediately appeared on the ladybug's belly.

[Huh, the live stream is back???]

How is the Phoenix Tail Flower Squad doing now?

[Damn it, I've bet everything I own on you guys, so get your act together, you bastards!]

[This is the new hall? Doesn't that mean the Phoenix Flower has reached the second level?]

[Good, good, good, almost there!]

Wait a minute, ladybug, turn the camera around. Something seems to be missing a person.

After the initial surprise, everyone soon realized that the Phoenix Tail Flower Squad was missing one person.

Where is their captain?

Inside the movie theater, the fans of the Phoenix Flower, led by Finch, all gasped in unison.

Velen couldn't sit still any longer. He walked to the altar below the suspended screen and used a Star-Rank Magic Core to send the [Platinum Advice] at a great cost.

The ladybug, as if subjected to a powerful force, trembled all over and emitted a dazzling white light.

Lulu had no intention of reading the suggestions, but she was also drawn in by the strong shock.

[Platinum's Advice: It's me, Velen! What happened? How is Linda? Please explain immediately!]

Viren was so concerned that he lost his composure, and his tone became a bit harsh.

Having spent nearly a year with the Phoenix Flower, Viren had long regarded them as colleagues and comrades-in-arms in revitalizing White Dove City.

Vilen would rather this first attempt fail than see any casualties among the Phoenix Flower Clan.

But the members of the city council thought differently.

These middle-aged people stared at the screen with gloomy faces, whispering among themselves and occasionally shaking their heads.

One of the men, a portly and dignified man, left the room on the spot.

It seems they've concluded that this adventure has failed.

Lulu briefly recounted what had happened.

"Is the trial that the Phoenix Tail Flower encountered a mirror image of a heart-refining process?"

"How did they manage to get through? It seems like everyone except Miss Anna handled it with ease?"

"I remember last week's guide from the White Dove Adventurers. Out of ten people, only five made it out; the rest used return scrolls. Even the five who made it looked like they'd just been released from a succubus's dark room."

"This is bad! Can Captain Linda withstand Shadow's Demon Heart Slash? That's a move that can cut even an eight-star adventurer like Slo in half!"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Upon learning that the Phoenix Tail Flower had encountered the Heart-Refining Mirror Image, everyone panicked.

"My house... my house is going to lose value!" An adventurer from out of town who had just settled down in White Dove City after buying it at a high price was clutching his hair, on the verge of tears.

"Hey, you guys. Don't underestimate a ten-star adventurer."

A cold voice, like a chilling wind blowing from the far north, entered everyone's hearts.

The hall fell silent instantly.

The lower-level adventurers, unaware of the masked werewolf's origins, wore puzzled expressions.

Those in the know, such as Witz, were curious.

Could it be that if we switch in the Little Wolf King, we're more confident of a victory?

Wo Gang rested his chin on his hand, staring at the closed door on the screen.

He said calmly, "Although the [Eye of Truth] is only rated nine stars in the Adventurer's Weekly, I don't think any of you here would consider it a nine-star."

Without a doubt, Linda possesses the strength of a ten-star adventurer.

Even the lowest-ranking ten-star wouldn't fall in a place like this.
