The [Heavy Snow] continuously reduces magic power and battle aura;
The Blood Moon, which enhances the power of monsters...
We must be prepared to face and overcome them.
"Merely 'surviving' is not enough; we must gather the more advanced material, 'Dark Fruit'!"
Linda spoke with a firm and resounding voice, tapping the small blackboard with her pointer, establishing the most important goal for this temporary team.
Obtain dark-colored tree fruits to replenish your magic and fighting spirit.
In this way, even if they encounter harsh weather in the Mystic Realm, they can cope with it with Dark Fruit as a reserve resource.
Leah raised her hand: "I also want to find dark-colored tree fruit, but it's too difficult. I haven't found anything in ten days."
"Yes, it is indeed difficult to find, but there are clues to follow."
Linda smiled, and a flash of light appeared in her hand, revealing three black, orange-shaped fruits in her palm.
The aroma is so enticing, it resembles a chocolate cake-shaped orange, making you want to eat it whole, peel and all.
Leah's eyes widened instantly, and she exclaimed in astonishment, "Dark...Dark-colored berries? You found them?"
"I was lucky today. Tasia helped me lure away the level 36 Shadow Panther, which gave me the opportunity to harvest it."
Linda shook her head as she recalled the fierce battle during the day: "Unfortunately, the harvest was not much. Most of the fruit was eaten by that monster. There were only three left when I picked them."
He said, "One Dark Fruit can restore about half of your magic power. Adventurers below the Moon Rank need twenty Dark Fruits to recover from having no magic power to full."
These fruits typically grow near ponds and rivers, where vegetation is lush and life originates, often attracting large numbers of monsters.
Our next task is to split into three groups and search for a water source. Once found, the three of us will immediately rendezvous and devise a clever way to seize the tree fruit.
Linda laughed and said, "Tasia relies more on magic cannons and is a bit weak in close combat. Lia, you've really been a great help. With the weight of the Firebird Feather Sword, it can cause considerable damage even without using battle aura."
Compared to mages and ranged classes, in closed Mythic+ dungeons, pure melee swordsmen like Leah have the greatest advantage.
He patted Leah on the shoulder. "Get a good rest tonight. You won't be allowed to rest tomorrow."
"I'll put in the effort too, I won't just eat your food for free."
Leah clenched her little fist with confidence, "Don't think you're better than me just because you're level 31. I'll surpass you sooner or later."
"Then there's probably not much hope."
Linda shrugged, turned on the fluorescent light in the cave, and sat down at the desk to write and draw.
This is a detailed topographic map.
Linda has drawn all the places she has explored in the past few days, which can effectively prevent her from exploring them repeatedly.
Tasia then began clearing away the dishes, and then stood silently behind Linda, like a protective shadow.
The cold wind outside was blocked by the vine curtain.
There was water and meat in the cave, and two trustworthy companions. Leah sat on the stone bench, her shoulders, which had been tense for ten days, slowly relaxing, her brows unfurrowing, and she let out a long breath.
Alone outside, hiding and living in constant fear, going hungry, forced to drink only "small drinks" when there's no water, and worrying about being attacked by monsters at night...
Now, all those worries have vanished, and Leah's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, has finally settled down.
She stared blankly at Linda, who was intently drawing a topographical map on paper under the fluorescent light, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She thought Linda was quite good-looking, and she stared at him for a while before she came back to her senses.
"I must be sick; poisonous mushrooms are really harmful!"
Lia was secretly surprised and quickly looked away from Linda to begin her daily battle qi training.
...
After some time, Linda put away the map and rubbed her sore temples.
I raised my wrist to look at my watch; it showed 8:30 p.m.
Linda stretched and said, "It's time to rest. No matter what you do in the closed secret realm, you need plenty of physical strength and energy."
"How will you sleep?"
Sitting cross-legged, trying to absorb battle qi from the barren air, but to no avail, Lia, her face dark with anger, asked the crucial question.
Looking at the small stone beds in the cave, they are enough for two people, but three people would be too crowded.
Furthermore, Tasia has an enviable figure, one of hers being twice the size of two, making the already small bed even narrower.
Yeah, how will we sleep?
Linda thought for a moment, then took out a brown sleeping bag for outdoor camping from her ring.
Made of tiger skin, it has excellent warmth retention.
Lia said, touched, "Linda, I'm only just realizing how wonderful your personality is..."
"It's a bit too big for you, but it'll do for now."
Linda tossed the sleeping bag to Leah, "When we get out of the Greater Rift, don't forget to wash up and bring it back."
Leah: ?
On the other side, Tasia had already made the bed and, with her back to them, took off her thick maid's dress, revealing her delicate brown skin.
Her full thighs were sculpted by the straps of white garter stockings, the garter rings with many openwork butterflies and lace trim wrapped around her slender waist.
Tasia's back was adorned with white ribbons and metal buckles, which shone brightly under the fluorescent lights.
Without the heavy, armor-like maid, Tasia's voluptuous figure was immediately revealed, and a pleasant fragrance wafted into their noses.
Lia glanced at Tasia, then looked at herself in front of her, and couldn't help but exclaim that the world was unfair!
What's with this maid's figure? It's so sexy!
