He led Lulu and the others straight to the teleportation array.
This is a portal-shaped teleportation array.
Inside was a distorted space of various colors, as if all sorts of dyes had been thrown into a large vat and mixed together.
No one knows where the other end of the teleportation array leads.
"We're ready here."
The speaker was an unfamiliar male elf.
He had pointed ears, wore a blue academic gown, white gloves, and glasses.
Beside the elf was the catgirl Bai Luo, who was much shorter, and President Velen, who was much taller.
Viren introduced, "Linda, this is the scholar from Xuanfeng City responsible for escorting the [Shockwave Detector], a Moon-rank adventurer named Wenqi."
"Mr. Wenqi, thank you for bringing the equipment overnight." Linda bowed.
"Of course, how can Xuanfeng City sit idly by when Baige City is in trouble?"
Wen Qi nodded slightly, his face expressionless.
If Bai Luo hadn't spoken up, Xuanfeng City probably wouldn't have been so enthusiastic, sending out Moon-Rank soldiers overnight.
Linda thought to herself: An adventurer's background is indeed important. If she were a native adventurer from the capital, Wen Qi's attitude would definitely have changed completely.
Excellent cities can receive imperial support.
The capital city is the dream destination for all adventurers.
Only in the royal capital does a sacred tree exist that can reach more than 40 levels.
In small places like White Dove City, the World Tree's level cap is only 20, which is hardly enough to attract outstanding adventure teams. Raising the World Tree's level cap requires the [World Tree Dew] bestowed by the goddess.
However, small places lack resources, making it difficult to cultivate high-level adventurers... creating an unsolvable vicious cycle.
The powerful cities become stronger, and the weak cities become weaker.
All human and material resources were concentrated at the top level.
Although Xuanfeng City ranks 56th in Cangqing Province, it's really just so-so when compared to the rest of the continent.
There are only three cities in the Azure Province that can truly be called first-tier adventure cities.
Linda snapped out of her thoughts, patted her cheeks, and walked to the teleportation portal.
Lulu said, "Be careful."
Linda nodded and looked at everyone: "I'm off."
Bai Luo and the others looked serious.
"Junior, you must come back alive," Bai Luo said.
"Um."
Linda stepped into the portal.
In an instant, the ground began to vibrate and hum.
Everyone nearby felt slightly dizzy.
The elf Wenqi solemnly manipulated the [Shockwave Detector].
There was a screen on it, with all sorts of magical numbers popping up wildly.
Vinci's fingers moved with dazzling speed, manipulating the buttons below.
The instrument emitted a "beep beep beep" sound.
A moment later, the portal and Linda disappeared.
It left a small crater in the spot.
Lulu and the others nervously huddled behind Wenqi.
The sooner Linda can locate the other side of the portal, the safer she will be.
Boom!
Just then, thunder rumbled in the night sky.
A few seconds later, the rain poured down.
The bushes on the barren grassland were pounded with a crackling sound, and the dry soil quickly turned dark brown.
More and more water-based slimes are poking their heads out from underground, joyfully welcoming the downpour.
Bai Luo frowned, then gently waved his hand, and blue water-based battle aura condensed into a large umbrella, shielding everyone's heads.
"How is it?" she asked Wenqi.
Wenqi wiped the sweat from his brow and said slowly, "It's not very optimistic..."
The seismic detector was affected by the thunderstorm.
Several minutes later, the detection progress above only jumped to 1%.
At this rate, wouldn't it take more than an hour to locate the other side of the portal?
Bai Luo's expression changed: "Idiot machine, why is it so slow!"
She was so angry that she punched the instrument.
Everyone felt uneasy.
Lulu's body felt weak, and she could barely stand.
Tasia remained the most composed: "I believe in my master, and I'm sure he can bring Monica back safely!"
Viren sighed, "All we can do now is pray."
...
...
Inside the portal, multicolored light swirled and rushed into Linda's eyes.
I felt intense dizziness; it was as if my brain was being churned up.
Then came the feeling of suffocation and nausea.
Linda bit her tongue hard, knowing she was about to face a dangerous situation and knew she couldn't let her guard down.
About ten seconds passed.
The feeling of weightlessness as I entered the portal gradually disappeared, and my feet firmly touched the ground.
The colorful vortex disappeared, replaced by a flickering, dim yellow light.
The air is humid, like at the beach or underground.
Are there any similar places within a hundred miles of Baige City?
Linda thought to herself.
Looking around, it was a huge, empty circular stone platform with a ring of ancient stone pillars around the edge, with torches stuck in them.
Below the stage was a group of men in black robes, all wearing white ghost masks, with only their eyes showing, staring at him with mocking eyes.
A rough count revealed about fifty people.
Linda used her magic to sense the area and concluded that among the cultists, there were 10 Star Rank members and the rest were around level 20.
'Troublesome.'
Linda shook his head inwardly. Although he found it troublesome, he wasn't particularly afraid. His task was to stall until reinforcements arrived; he didn't need to wipe out the cultists all by himself.
"Slap, slap."
A crisp clapping sound rang out from ahead.
At a height of about twenty meters, the stone wall was hollowed out, and a viewing platform was built inside.
