Despair flickered in Gu Ao's eyes. Two of the opponents possessed weapons with considerable magical energy fluctuations, easily chipping away at their weapons, clearly of legendary quality.
An adventure team that possesses a legendary weapon can practically roam freely in the Mieyama region!
"Wait, are you Linda, the Eye of True Knowledge?"
In his panic, Gu Ao finally got a good look at Linda's face.
"You, a demon, know me?" Linda asked in surprise.
Gu Ao gritted his teeth and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva: "I have nothing to say to those scoundrels from the Secret Realm Continent. You can just wait to die!"
After saying that, Gu Ao's veins bulged out, and his whole body swelled up like a balloon.
Seeing this, Linda shouted urgently, "Retreat!"
Everyone hurriedly moved away, retreating about ten meters, when they heard a loud explosion!
The violent air currents, carrying debris and flesh, slammed into everyone's backs.
When the explosion stopped, Linda walked back with a solemn expression. There was a large crater on the ground, along with many pieces of flesh.
"Are all demons as fierce as this ancient one?"
Linda found the situation quite tricky.
"It shouldn't be."
Sterley, clutching her chest with fear, walked over and said, "I've heard from my elders that there are many demons who are afraid of death and beg adventurers to spare them."
However, in the eyes of most demons, we are the sinners who banished them to the Demon Realm, so it's not hard to understand why they harbor hatred towards us.
Linda knows about this.
Legend has it that long ago, all the races of the Secret Realm Continent were one family. However, for some unknown reason, adventurers drove the demons away from the Secret Realm Continent, banishing them to a dark, barren land with very little magic.
Over tens of thousands of years, the demons launched several counterattacks, all of which were suppressed by adventurers.
Hatred has accumulated over generations, reaching a point where it can never be resolved without a fight to the death.
If given the chance to annihilate the demons, or if the adventurers are wiped out, neither side will hold back. At least, that's what 99% of people think.
"Speaking of which, Captain Linda, I haven't thanked you yet."
Sterley bowed deeply, her face filled with sorrow: "Mount Triple is indeed not a place our Sunshine Adventure Team can come to. Team members, it's all because of me."
If Linda and the others hadn't arrived just in time, the Sunshine Adventure Team would have been wiped out.
“Sterly will never forget the life-saving grace.”
The girl picked up several bodies from the ground and said with a gloomy look in her eyes:
"Captain Linda, there are only 5 of us left, and it's not suitable for us to stay on the 20th floor any longer. Please forgive us for saying goodbye. We will definitely thank you properly next time we meet."
Linda looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, her heart heavy, and said, "Miss Sterry, take care."
