The fog not only reduced the adventurers' visibility but also significantly decreased their perception.
“Leave it to me.” Kaphni patted her chest and stepped forward with a smile.
She placed one index finger between her eyebrows, and white ripples spread outwards.
This is a skill exclusive to thieves: [Investigate].
Kaphni herself is a former deity with a faint divine power within her, and her [Detection] ability is stronger than that of most thieves.
In Kaphni's mind, a three-dimensional map appeared.
"300 meters ahead, there is a medium-sized monster, which looks like a leopard. There is only one. Judging from its aura, it is not very threatening. I estimate its level to be 44."
About 250 meters to the left, there was an adventure team of about 13 people. I didn't investigate further, worried about attracting their attention.
"Watch out, 10 meters behind!"
Suddenly, Kaphni's voice changed.
As soon as she finished speaking, Linda immediately activated her rare skill, Demon Flame Strike!
The magic stirred up a gale, and white mist swirled, clearing the view.
It was a gray-furred lynx, its eyes fixed on the back of a mage from the White Dove Adventurers' Guild, preparing to attack.
At that moment, the figure of an adventurer appeared beside him.
The longsword emitted a dense purple light, with black flames burning on it, like a demonic claw from the depths of hell gripping its neck!
"Meow~!!!"
The longsword pierced three-tenths of an inch into the bone, and blood spurted out!
As the lynx's location was revealed, a barrage of magical attacks was unleashed.
In an instant, the lynx turned to ashes, and golden specks the size of soybeans appeared on its corpse, flying into the bodies of the people who had attacked.
[System Notification: Cooperatively defeated the level 42 purple rare monster, Shadow Lynx, and received a Goddess's Blessing, experience points increased!]
Upon seeing this message, Lin Da raised an eyebrow and a smile appeared on his lips. He had only made one move and had already gained 10,000 experience points. The Ten Thousand Mountains truly were a good place for cultivation.
"Captain Linda, thank you very much." The mage who was almost attacked by the lynx wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said gratefully.
"Rand, don't be so polite. We're all going up to the 20th floor together, so we should help each other out," Linda said with a smile.
This mage is named Rand, a male grass-type mage who excels at binding enemies and can play a significant role in defeating monster leaders.
"And Miss Kaphni, thank you too," Rand said, bowing.
"Be grateful, I don't save just anyone," Kaphni said, taking all the credit.
The attack by the Shadow Lynx sent alarm bells ringing in everyone's ears. Encountering a monster so soon after entering the 20th floor was a level of tension far beyond what they had experienced in the previous Greater Rifts.
Whether it's level 10 or 15, the initial landing area is near the resource zone, making it very safe.
In contrast, this place is only the 20th floor preparation area, and it has already been attacked by monsters. If we were to go deeper into the Hundred Thousand Mountains...
Everyone's enthusiasm was immediately dampened.
"Stop standing there, get out of here right now!"
Linda's face darkened, and she said, "The commotion of our battle is likely to attract the attention of other adventure teams nearby!"
Kaphni just discovered that there is a 13-person adventure team on the left, and what about further away?
If we're unlucky, we'll already be surrounded by demon adventurers.
The preparation area is densely populated with adventurers and is actually more dangerous than the interior of the Ten Thousand Mountains!
Once inside the Ten Thousand Mountains, the flow of people disperses, and the probability of encountering demons actually decreases.
"We only have one thing to do now: leave the preparation area and enter the Ten Thousand Mountains as quickly as possible!"
"really."
Everyone nodded in agreement. In the misty realm, it was difficult to distinguish friend from foe; it would be better to plunge into the Ten Thousand Mountains first.
Led by Kaphni, who was skilled in reconnaissance, the group spread their wings and flew forward.
After touching for about ten seconds.
An adventure team with dark skin and dark red eyes appeared where Linda and her companions had disappeared.
This adventure team consists of 13 people, all dressed in black, tight-fitting combat suits, with a giant shark on their chest badges against a background of a castle shrouded in thunderclouds.
Their badges are quite different from Linda's.
Adventurers from the mysterious continent, their badges feature the Adventurer Guild totem of crossed swords and shields.
The skin color and eye color of this group of people were also completely different from those of normal adventurers.
What's most peculiar is that they have a short black horn on the right side of their foreheads.
This horn is smooth and elastic, resembling some kind of organ.
The leader was a burly man who was two meters tall. He squatted on the ground, stroked the soil, and after a moment of contemplation, said, "They haven't been gone long. Chase after them."
"It's the scent of those lambs. Tsk tsk, I can't wait to devour their source cores."
A gloomy man with a long tongue chuckled.
"They're unlucky to have run into our Giant Shark Adventurer Group! Judging from the remaining aura, the strongest among them is no more than level 43—definitely a bunch of newbies!"
The burly man's gaze sharpened, and he said in a cold voice, "For His Majesty the Demon King, eliminate them."
"For His Majesty the Demon King!"
Everyone excitedly drew their weapons.
"Speed up! Someone's chasing us!"
Kaphni's expression changed, and she said urgently.
"enemy?"
A faint unease arose in Linda's heart.
The fact that they chased after them in such a high-profile manner shows that the other party is fearless.
"Change direction, fly that way!"
A dozen minutes later, Kaphni activated her detection skill again, silently sensing for a while, and said, "I didn't find them, so we must have shaken them off."
A thrilling chase came to a close in a short time.
Although they hadn't even seen the enemy's face, everyone was terrified.
