The mountains were shrouded in mist, and all around was a vast expanse of white.
After listening to Linda's suggestion, everyone looked thoughtful.
Eberna nodded: "Given our current situation, Mieyama is indeed the most suitable."
Linda said, "But since we've come all this way, let's deal with the monsters here first, and treat it as practice."
The group climbed to the top of the mountain and found a two-legged turkey sleeping in its nest.
In Linda's mind, the other party's information popped up:
[Monster: Two-Legged Turkey]
[Level: 42]
[Rarity: Orange color is extremely rare]
Skill 1: What are you doing? While yelling, it charges at the adventurer with its hard back.
Skill 2: Ouch, Pain! The turkey, writhing in pain, licks its wounds, significantly restoring its health.
This monster is an Easter egg type, so it's relatively easy to defeat.
Seeing the two-legged turkey fast asleep, the group crouched and advanced, and when the distance was reduced to one meter, they suddenly launched an attack!
Linda didn't use any skills; she and her companion each wielded a sword, and the mages casually cast a small spell. In the blink of an eye, the two-legged turkey was dead.
[System Notification: By cooperating in defeating the level 42 two-legged turkey, you have received a divine gift from the Goddess: 8000 experience points!]
Linda: ?
Why is it not as good as that Shadow Lynx?
The former is an elite monster, so add 10,000.
The latter is the leader of the monsters, and there are only eight thousand of them.
Linda frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized.
When killing the Shadow Lynx, several people participated, and they received more experience points. Now, with sixteen people working together to kill it, they received far fewer experience points.
"The monsters in the first mountain are too weak. We need to go to the third mountain to satisfy our needs."
Linda thought to herself.
After gathering materials from the mountain, the group spread their wings and flew towards the deeper peaks.
Time flies.
It was noon when I came in, and in the blink of an eye, the sky turned orange-red.
During this time, Linda and her companions encountered several unidentified adventure teams, but fortunately, thanks to Kaphni's detection skills, they all managed to escape safely.
As dusk fell, after traveling a thousand miles, we finally reached the edge of the Three Mountains.
"This place is definitely different."
Linda felt a slight excitement.
Everyone noticed the abnormality of the Triple Mountain. The demonic aura here was stronger, and the mountain peaks were even more towering, roughly estimated to be over 700 meters high.
"Haru Steel?" Kaphni's eyes lit up when she saw a dark, rectangular stone, and she happily put it into her spatial ring.
"You're so lucky," Gale said with a hint of envy.
Linda said, "I guess you could say I was just lucky. Haru Steel is worth 20,000 gold coins. It's very rare on the 10th floor, but if you look patiently on the 20th floor, you'll eventually find it."
In this 20-level Great Mythic+ dungeon, adventure teams are divided into two types: "vegetarians" and "carnivores." Carnivores, like Linda and her group, roam the mountains and kill bosses.
Vegetarians, on the other hand, avoid monsters and other adventurers, coming here specifically to gather materials and quietly develop their skills.
In a single day, you can earn millions of gold coins.
It sounds like a lot, but converted to Purple Gold Coins, at the current exchange rate, it's less than a hundred. Using this method of making money, trying to get a full set of Moon-tier Epic gear would take forever.
"This is our first time venturing into the Triple Mountain to hunt monsters, so be alert!"
Linda's gaze was stern: "Don't be fooled by the two-legged turkey from before, just because of the 20th floor."
Starting from the Triple Mountain, the lowest level monster boss is 43, and many are epic-level monsters!
Epic monsters' ultimate skills can instantly kill back-row enemies, making them fundamentally different from rare purple and orange-level monster leaders.
"clear."
Those who had made it this far were no novices, and they all nodded in agreement.
Abner: "Linda, please take good care of our back row members."
After saying that, the two mages and the healer all looked at Linda with warm eyes.
"Captain Linda, you absolutely have to let me taste your turtle shell... cough cough, what does the Emerald Shield taste like?"
“If a monster targets you, it will be given to you,” Linda said.
Armored warriors led the way, and the group headed towards the mountaintop.
The mountain path was quite steep, with loose stones scattered underfoot. Tall fir trees appeared like ghostly shadows in the white mist, and the calls of unknown birds could be heard.
Monica's face turned pale, and she hid next to Linda.
Linda patted Monica's head and comforted her, "With the captain here, don't be afraid."
Meanwhile, Kit, the leopard, wagged her tail and approached Abner. To Abner's bewildered expression, she took his hand.
This amusing gesture eased some of the tension.
When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, the group stopped.
The sounds of fighting came from the mountaintop!
Has someone beaten them to it?
Should they leave now, or go up and see what's going on? All eyes turned to the two captains.
Linda and Abner discussed it briefly and decided to get closer to observe.
Currently, the enemy is in the open while we are in the dark; whether to fight or flee, we have the initiative.
The group suppressed their magic, held their breath, and approached the mountaintop.
The closer they got, the clearer the sounds of fighting became: the bombardment of magic, the cracking of rocks, the slicing of swords into flesh, and the cutting of soft objects.
Extremely intense.
There were no strange roars heard, so it didn't seem to be a battle between adventurers and monsters.
Linda looked thoughtful, wondering, "Could it be a demon?"
Kaphni closed her eyes and activated [Exploration] with all her might.
She said, "It's very chaotic. There are more than 20 people, with an average level of around 43. One side is exhausted and about to lose."
