Ai Ke, feeling humiliated by the teasing of the crowd, feigned anger and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll lock you all in solitary confinement!"
"Haha, so even the young lady can be shy."
Another burst of good-natured laughter followed.
The members of the Holy Rock group, including Bovis, were all smiling. Thanks to the arrival of Eko and Linda, the gloom that had been hanging over their eyes had dissipated considerably.
After exchanging pleasantries, Linda's expression turned serious, and she said, "I just heard a noise coming from the top floor, and I was planning to go and take a look with Aiko."
Bovis was overjoyed and was about to agree when a mocking voice came from behind him:
"What right do adventurers from other places have to participate in the three-team meeting in Nanyan City?"
Turning to look at that person, the members of the Holy Rock group all showed expressions of anger.
The burly man carrying a double-edged axe sneered, "Bear Ferocious, you coward who didn't even dare to accept Bervis's challenge, do you dare to speak to us?"
"Bullshit, I was just feeling unwell!"
Wearing a gold chain, the muscular bear glared angrily, its eyes wide open, and two heavy streams of air spewed from its nostrils.
The eleven orc team members stepped forward in unison, confronting the people of Holy Rock head-on.
Dozens of auras clashed and clashed, causing the ground beneath their feet to shake, the glass to tremble, and cracks to appear in the decorative paintings in the hall.
The two sides were on the verge of war, their eyes red, and it seemed like they were about to start a fight at the slightest provocation.
Upon seeing this scene, Linda felt a chill run down her spine.
The undercurrents within Nanyan City were far more serious than he had imagined.
Bovis's eyes flashed as he stretched out a hand to block the burly man with the double-edged axe.
"Deputy Commander?" the burly man exclaimed in surprise.
Bervis said expressionlessly, "Do you all want to be arrested by the knights of the enforcement team? Even the Rising Sun-class adventurer team cannot break the rules."
“If you don’t dare to fight, just say so. Don’t make excuses.” Xiong’s fierce aura intensified, and he arrogantly pointed at Lin Da: “I do have some things I want to ask this kid.”
"You can ask, but have your regimental commander come."
Linda's expression was indifferent: "A deputy regimental commander is not qualified."
"A newly promoted Moon Rank cultivator dares to speak to me like that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large, dark bear paw suddenly grabbed at Linda's head!
The fingernails above gleamed with a cold light, sharp as knives; even a rock could probably be sliced open as easily as tofu!
Unexpectedly, the orc was so reckless that Linda even suspected that her killing of Fox had been exposed.
While thinking, Linda raised her hand and snapped her hand onto Xiong Xiong's wrist.
Linda's arms are about the same size as a normal person's, while Xiong Xiong's hands are covered in black hair and as thick as a thigh. The comparison between the two is like that between a cat and a tiger.
But it was this "cat's paw" that firmly gripped the bear's wrist, rendering it unable to move.
Xiong Xiong's expression changed, he gritted his teeth and concentrated all his strength in his right hand.
To their astonishment, they found that they still couldn't move Linda even an inch.
Even though he was so frustrated that his face turned red and the veins on his forehead were about to burst, the result remained the same.
Everyone present was a seasoned Moon-ranked individual with sharp eyes.
In an instant, it was clear that Linda's strength was no less than Xiong Xiong's!
Ming Tu, the deputy leader of the Zijing Stone Regiment, who had intended to help, stopped in his tracks, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.
"Young man, you're quite something!" the burly man with the double-edged axe exclaimed in surprise.
Having only recently advanced to the Moon Rank, he was already on par with Xiong Xiong.
If they grow a few more years, that will be incredible.
The Holy Rock Adventure Team looks like they've struck gold!
Bovis was also shocked, never expecting that Linda's strength would have increased to this extent in just one month.
The last time we met, Linda's entire team barely managed to beat him.
But now, even in a one-on-one situation, Bervis isn't confident of winning.
"This kid absolutely cannot be treated as a newcomer!"
Bervis was both surprised and delighted.
What he valued most was Linda's status as the captain of the Phoenix Tail Flower team. With Linda's involvement, even a "newbie" Rising Sun class team would be enough to make the Bear Roar and Bauhinia Stone families wary.
"The meeting was originally scheduled to cover how to improve relations with White Dove City."
It just so happens that the adventurer representatives from White Dove City are here. Wouldn't it be much better to have a face-to-face meeting with them than for us to guess?
Shengyan believes that Captain Luanweihua is fully qualified to participate in the meeting!
Bovis walked over, pressed down on their shoulders, and suddenly unleashed earth-elemental battle aura, separating them.
Feeling the lingering earth-elemental battle qi within her body, Linda's heart stirred slightly, and she glanced at Bovis once more.
This "Smiling Swordsman" seemed much stronger than Xiong Fei.
Saint Rock truly lives up to its reputation as a veteran adventurer group.
"Go ahead." Bervis gave a wink and led the group to block the stairwell.
Xiong Xiong rubbed his reddened wrist, standing still, watching Linda and Ai Ke walk towards the top floor with resentment.
The joint conference of the three groups has always been held on the rooftop of Paradise Country.
The large conference hall was deserted, with only three people present.
At the round table, the three group leaders each occupied one side.
Rochelle was wearing a brown trench coat with the right sleeve hanging empty, and his left hand was clenched into a fist in anger.
"Are you two threatening me?"
His voice seemed to be brewing a thunderstorm, ready to erupt at any moment.
But Lores and Xiongji laughed in unison when they saw his bare right shoulder.
"Commander Rocher, I'm doing this for your own good."
Lores sighed and said, "You were injured in the battle against the Forest Dragon and then attacked by the demons, and your condition has deteriorated rapidly. If this drags on any longer, even using the secret treasure of my Purple Thorn Stone family, the [Green Dragon Blessing] potion, will not be able to save your damaged magic circuits."
"Commander Lores is right."
Xiong Jimans meticulously combed the white fur on his chest and said with a faint smile, "Pike, the son of Captain Lores, and Eko of Holy Rock are a perfect match. If I were you, I would be so happy that I wouldn't be able to sleep for three days."
