Leah felt the cold wind behind her, and cold sweat poured down her back.
He can't be smug anymore!
She glanced sideways, trembling, and saw the giant mushroom extend two chainsaw tentacles, the circular saws hissing and spinning, still stained with the blood of the Flame Adventurers, splattered everywhere.
A chill mingled with the fishy wind, and the smile on Lia's face froze instantly.
Lulu and Linda had anticipated this scene.
Lulu knew about other monsters lurking around thanks to her keen sense of smell, while Linda relied purely on prediction.
"Go, Dark Whip!"
The whip was tied around Leah's waist, pulling her closer.
"Opening champagne halfway through is a big no-no. I've told you so many times before, how come you always forget?" Linda scolded Leah while silently chanting the incantation for the Venom Orb.
With the appearance of Giant Mushroom #2, Giant Mushroom #3 followed closely behind.
These despicable monsters had planned to attack Linda and her companions from the very beginning.
If she hadn't managed to kill one of them instantly, and was now facing 12 chainsaw tentacles at the same time... just thinking about it made Leah break out in a cold sweat.
It seems that listening to Linda was indeed the right thing to do.
The idea flashed through Leah's mind.
She charged up her second burst of energy and faced the giant mushroom behind her, leaving the one in front to Lulu.
Linda and Monica sat in the middle, one responsible for adding shields and the other for providing remote support.
With their cooperation, the two giant mushrooms transformed into golden reward light in three minutes.
"Phew, I won without taking any damage. I'm really amazing!" Lia began to boast.
Linda said, "It's all thanks to everyone."
He emphasized the word "everyone".
“I know,” Leah retorted. “I was just saying I’m really good, don’t you think so?”
"Yes, yes, yes."
Linda said, "Quickly gather your spoils and leave this place. Something's wrong in Dragon Forest. These level 30 monsters weren't scared away by the dragon's might; instead, they stayed in the middle layer... The giant magic saw mushroom is the timid type; it should have run the furthest. Not only did it not run, but it even dared to ambush adventurers here... What exactly happened in the forest?"
The situation is developing in an unknown direction.
"Anyway, as long as Senlong doesn't come, I'll protect you with my greatsword, so don't worry."
Lia picked up a palm-sized cube of material, named [Essence Giant Mushroom Meat], and happily put it into her spatial ring.
It's reasonable for her to take one of the three mushrooms.
Linda accepted the other two materials and noticed Lulu lying on the ground sniffing something.
Its buttocks were sticking up high, but its wolf tail was tucked under its crotch.
This is a sign of tension and fear in the werewolf race.
"Have you found anything?" Linda walked over to Lulu and asked in a low voice.
"It smells wrong."
Lulu's nose twitched, and she murmured, "The scent of a plant-type monster... it shouldn't be like this..."
"Woof woof!"
A long, thin brown hunting dog leaped out of the bushes, ran up to the group, and barked softly.
Lulu glanced at the hound and immediately suppressed its bloodline, scaring the hound into shutting its mouth.
But following closely behind the hounds was a group of men in black robes.
They wore white ghost masks with crying eyes, and a crooked horn about a finger's length grew from the right side of their foreheads.
The horns of the leaders were blue.
The remaining ten or so people were all dressed in green.
They all bear the same emblem on their chests: a dark sun shining on the earth, and purple tentacles reaching out from the abyss to devour all living things.
Upon seeing this group of people, Linda's expression changed: "The Doomsday Cult?"
A terrorist organization serving the demon race, whose mission is to destroy the World Tree and assist the Demon King in descending upon the continent; a group of madmen who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
Linda last met with the Doomsday Cult at the Azure Sword auction.
After experiencing the monster tide, White Dove City was on high alert. They thought this group of people had disappeared, but unexpectedly they appeared in Dragon Forest.
Linda's mind raced. What was the purpose of the Doomsday Cult? Was the strange behavior of the monsters in the forest related to them?
"Be careful, there are at least five Star Ranks." Lulu shielded him behind her, then bit his arm.
The fair arm was instantly turned into a bloody mess, triggering the [Bloodlust] state.
Linda, Lulu, and Lia stood back to back, protecting each other, while Monica nervously stood in the middle.
The leader of the Doomsday Cult appeared to be an old man, exuding an aura of gloom.
"Ha, ha ha ha... Linda, I actually found you here! It must be His Majesty the Demon King protecting me! Hehehe!"
An eerie laugh came from behind the ghost mask. The old man opened his arms, and two dark creatures, like large leeches, emerged from his sleeves. They slowly moved their delicate feet toward Linda.
The two leeches gave Linda an extremely dangerous feeling, but what made it even worse was that their 'hehehe' laughter sounded very familiar.
Leah immediately recognized the man in black and exclaimed in surprise, "Harus, weren't you in jail? How did you get out?"
The one leading this group of cult members was none other than Herus, the leader of the Ghost Adventurers' Guild, who should have been imprisoned in the Iron Cage!
"Hehehe, it's my honor to be recognized by Captain Leah. After you die, I'll turn you into a beautiful shadow creature, so you can love and breed with these two 'dark leeches' and produce even more magical creatures, hehehe...!"
"Ugh~ Disgusting! Who wants to become a leech? Come here if you dare, and I'll chop your dog head off!"
The two men were exchanging insults from ten meters apart.
Linda stalled for time with words: "Why are you here? Unauthorized escape from prison, the Knights will not let you off easily!"
