It was a rare sunny day.
Inside the cellar, Linda lifted the stone slab and crawled out.
After a good night's rest last night, everyone is in top condition.
The dark-colored tree fruits were also divided into three portions and placed in their respective waist pouches to replenish their battle qi at any time.
Before setting off, Linda gave a final pep talk.
He looked at the two of them, his expression solemn:
"It will definitely be a difficult battle for the three of us to fight against a Moon-ranked opponent."
But I hope you understand that we have put in a lot of hard work, cooperated with each other, trained, and honed a new ultimate technique that combines wind and fire to achieve this day.
A Moon-ranked opponent is worthy of respect, but not invincible, especially when the opponent is an injured Moon-ranked individual.
Be confident, but don't be arrogant.
Mentally despise your opponent, but take them seriously in battle!
This is a struggle for survival, but we will surely be the victors in the end.
Leah, don't get arrogant in this battle!
Tasia, some things should be used when necessary, and I'll help purify them afterwards.
Do you all understand?
Linda, like a strict instructor, changed her usual gentle expression and stared at them with eyes as wide as copper bells.
Feeling energized, Leah shouted with great spirit, "Understood! Victory will surely be ours!"
Tasia calmly hummed in agreement, a hint of fighting spirit appearing in her usually unwavering eyes.
Linda nodded in satisfaction and led the two of them up the big tree.
Like a ninja moving through the air, they hurried toward the place where the fox lived, as Lia remembered it.
...
Several hours later.
The sun turned dark red, and a chill crept through the forest.
Linda and her group found a wooden cabin.
The room was filled with withered leaves blown in by the wind, there was no pot on the stove, and the bed was empty.
Clearly, the owner of this place has long since left.
"It would be troublesome if they hid."
Linda rubbed her temples.
Moon Rank possesses wings of battle aura, allowing them to advance or retreat at will, meaning the initiative is not on their side.
What method should we use to lure that fox out...?
Inside the house, Lia smashed furniture to vent her anger and angrily cursed Fox.
The insults weren't too harsh; it was more like elementary school kids arguing.
Stupid, idiot, and the like.
Tasia then felt around on the walls and floor, looking for any hidden passages.
This can't go on.
Linda thought to herself.
In five more days, the Greater Rift will open.
Fox could easily spread his wings of battle aura, fly out of the Dragon Forest, and use the teleportation stone to return to South Rock City.
At that time, Linda will face more than just Foxy the First Rank enemy.
Instead, it's the rising star adventure team behind Fox, the Bear Roar Adventure Team.
"We must find Foxy no matter what."
Linda muttered to herself.
"Gentlemen, what can I do for you?"
A mocking voice, carrying a chilling undertone, suddenly rang out behind Linda.
Linda's skin crawled with goosebumps, and a chill quickly spread across her back.
He turned his head and saw a large orange fox leaning against the door frame, smiling as it played with a short knife.
A deep blue, crystal-clear weapon, like a piece of crystal.
This weapon reveals Fox's fighting spirit attribute: besides recovery and light-type, its best skill is water-type healing.
It's truly ironic that an adventurer who enjoys torturing his prey possesses water-based fighting skills.
Judging from Hu'er's complexion, she looks much better than when we last met.
Linda's heart sank.
"You filthy fox, take this sword!"
Following the pre-rehearsed tactics, Linda cast Azure Shield on Lia, and Lia immediately attacked with "Flame Slash," her greatsword bursting into flames as she slashed at Fox!
"Miss Leah, there's something I'd like to make clear beforehand."
I, Fox, don't like you at all. On the contrary, I find you disgusting, utterly disgusting. Just the sight of a 'little slut' like you makes me feel incredibly nauseous.
"How dare you reject my advances, Foxy? You'd rather be easily deceived and toyed with by me..."
Fox completely tore off his disguise, revealing sharp teeth on his usually amiable face, and ugly wrinkles squeezed out on his forehead.
"Three Star Ranks dare to overestimate themselves? Do they really think my injuries haven't healed yet? Linda, face? You, a mere Star Rank, dare to ask me for face? Die, all of you die!"
Facing Lia's fiery slash, Fox dodged to the side and then struck Lia in the abdomen with an incredibly fast elbow!
Bang!
The intense pain caused Leah's eyes to widen, acid gushed into her mouth, and she was thrown backward like a sack of potatoes.
At the crucial moment, Linda used the Dark Whip to catch Leah.
Are you alright?
Linda quickly chanted a healing spell, and a bright green magic circle lit up above Leah's head.
A surge of restorative magic, like a vast ocean, flowed into Leah's body.
+4012!
Leah was injured one moment and then immediately given a massive dose of healing magic, akin to experiencing both ice and fire. Linda's intermediate healing spell almost made Leah's eyes roll back and she passed out on the spot.
"You, you, you've gone way too far with this treatment!"
Despite the intense fighting, the three people present were still startled by Linda.
The fear in Hu'er's eyes became even more obvious.
Although his elbow strike wasn't a skill, it used most of his fighting spirit, with the aim of killing Lia in one move.
As it turned out, the emerald green turtle shell blocked at least 80% of the damage, and Leah only suffered minor injuries.
I had heard that Linda's shield was very thick, but seeing it today completely changed my understanding of shields.
