“The little girl is fine,” Halus said jokingly. “But you seem to be a poison mage? Using poison to attack the shell of a killer crab, heh heh... to put it bluntly, it’s like scratching an itch through a boot?”
Poison-type attacks are indeed countered by killer crabs, but Linda's spatial ring contains the orange-tier weapon Azure Sword, specifically designed to target aquatic monsters.
He wouldn't tell Halus this.
Linda smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Halus, you've misunderstood something. I'm not a poison mage."
He shrugged, looking helpless: "My real profession is a healing mage, a support class that focuses on healing."
"A healer?"
Halus seemed to recall the emerald light shield in the walkthrough of the Phoenix Tail Flower, and his expression changed slightly.
It can deal damage and provide support, and it's not weak in either aspect.
Once it grows up, it will likely become a formidable competitor.
"Hehehe, then you'd better be careful. As a support class, you're quite weak. Don't get hurt by the killer crab." A feigned concern was forced onto Harus's gloomy face.
"Thank you for reminding me."
Linda remained expressionless, but inwardly she was on high alert.
Adventurers in White Dove City are clearly divided into two camps. Once they reach or approach the Rock level, they are recruited by those above them and even forced to choose sides.
To outsiders, the current Phoenix Tail Flower is already leaning towards the White Dove Adventure Team.
The fact that the Metal Destroyer Potion was sold to Gale further confirms this, which naturally aroused the hostility of the Ghost Adventurers.
Linda hates taking sides; she doesn't want her team to be bound by anyone.
But facing a veteran powerhouse like the Ghost Adventurers, Luanweihua could only seek refuge with the powerful White Dove Adventurers.
Fortunately, he had a good impression of Gale and Kit.
The reputation of the shrewd Alberto is also guaranteed.
It was at least a small consolation.
Standing on the side of the White Dove Adventurers isn't a loss for them.
Shortly afterward, the areas to be conquered were assigned.
Linda handed over command to Mayor Adel. She also prepared a handbook containing all the data she had calculated about the killer crab over the past few days, distributing it to every Rock-level captain.
There's no time to lose.
The group mounted their warhorses and headed deep into the monster tide.
"Don't die."
On the street, a black horse with two wings sped past Linda.
Sitting up there was a girl with a red ponytail that fluttered in the wind.
After coldly uttering these words, the girl rode her winged black horse and disappeared into the distance.
"You too."
Linda responded.
This battle against the monster tide is extremely dangerous, and many adventurers will die.
He harbored a selfish motive: he hoped that everyone he knew could survive.
However, the battlefield is unpredictable, and no one can say for sure what will happen.
All Linda could do was protect the team members around her.
Kaphni's warhorse rode alongside him.
Behind him, Monica rode the same warhorse.
This socially awkward little girl was on the battlefield for the first time. Facing a sea of adventurers around her, she turned pale with nervousness and couldn't even speak.
A pair of small hands tightly wrapped around Linda's waist from behind, pressing her whole body against him.
Once outside the city,
The warhorse lurched and swayed, making Linda feel a strong sense of unease coming from behind.
That trembling...it shows that Monica was terrified!
"The captain will protect you, Monica. Unleash your magic and vanquish that damned monster!"
Linda held the reins in her left hand and stroked the delicate little hand that reached out from behind her with her right, her voice steady and strong.
"Monica...I'll try my best!" The girl mustered her courage and peeked out from behind Linda, looking at the endless black tide ahead.
Pointing the magic wand forward, he chanted softly, "Earth Cannon!"
A thick, brown beam of light shot into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the bodies of more than a dozen killer crabs were pierced by the beam of light, leaving a hole the size of a bucket!
The Rock-level squad members on horseback ahead all glanced back in surprise.
Many mages of higher level than Monica could not kill so many killer crabs in one go.
The Earth Mage's damage output is indeed impressive.
"Commander, wasn't I right? The Phoenix Tail Flower has the potential to reach the Iron Grade!"
At the very front, Gale, with a smug smile, addressed the swordsman with the long blue ponytail.
"The potential is not bad."
The most powerful adventurer in White Dove City, the Mind-Bright Albert, nodded slightly.
Then, he drew his longsword.
A white light of death flickered.
Three hundred killer crabs in a whole square area were instantly turned into bloody mud!
With the Iron-class adventurer team as its sword and the Rock-class team as its blade, this fierce dagger plunges straight into the depths of the monster tide!
...
...
Mid-level area of the monster tide.
Swordsman Finch, facing killer crabs that were two meters long and nearly three meters long with their deadly pincers open, turned pale and felt weak all over.
His hand holding the one-handed sword was trembling violently, and he had only one thought in his mind: I'm doomed, I'm going to die in this godforsaken place.
This Finch was the same down-on-his-luck adventurer that Linda had met at the entrance of the Chilang Trading Company.
At this moment, Finch looked around and saw swarms of giant crabs everywhere, and adventurers fighting bloody battles.
Chased by the Imperial Knights who were overseeing the battle, he came to his senses and found himself in the middle layer of the monster tide.
Within twenty minutes of the battle beginning, Finch was covered in blood.
Fortunately or unfortunately, not a single drop of blood was his—the adventurers around him were like blood bags being squeezed open by a killer crab, with bright red liquid spraying onto his face!
