In the blue teleportation light, Stry and the others waved and disappeared.
Whether it was just people's imagination or not, the thick fog that filled the sky and earth seemed to have become even thicker.
"Linda, the demons may have their eyes on you."
Abner's expression was serious: "That demon named Gu'ao recognized you. There aren't many adventurers in the southern region of Cangqing Province who make it onto the 'Monthly Ranking,' and your bounty of 100,000 purple gold coins makes you very sought after among the demons."
Linda rested her chin on her hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "In that case, let's go to the Gochō mountain area."
"Huh?" Kaphni exclaimed, "The monsters over there are at least level 45!"
“Abner, what do you think?” Linda asked without looking at Kaphni.
Eberner: "Mieyama is still better."
“Yes, that’s it.” Linda smiled faintly. “Those experienced demon adventurer groups will also think that if I go to the 20th floor, I will appear in the Triple Mountain area. Going to the Fifth Mountain will actually help me avoid them.”
With our two adventure teams working together, we should be able to deal with the monsters there.
If it doesn't work, then give up on this level 20 Greater Rift!
Gail thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said, "Fortune favors the bold, Linda is right!"
Looking towards the higher mountains ahead, some people felt excited, while others felt fear.
But no one backed down.
Before that, I cleaned up the spoils.
The spatial rings of demons are marked and cannot be used. Their equipment is also bound to magic circuits, and once the master dies, it becomes scrap metal.
However, some of the magical items in his pocket were unclaimed and worth some money.
Linda collected all the items that weren't damaged by the self-destruction.
Then, he swung his longsword and cut off the horns from several demon corpses.
"Aside from the two people who died in the explosion, there were a total of eight bodies."
Linda handed half of the "magic horn" to Eberna.
Once you leave the World Tree, you can offer this item before the Goddess statue in exchange for blessings.
The demon horn was bloody, with bits of flesh still attached to its base. Seeing Abner's stiff face, Linda advised, "Let them go, or you'll be the one who dies. Don't think too much about it."
“I understand, but I feel a bit sentimental,” Eberna sighed softly. “Let’s go, to Gochōyama.”
Unlike previous monster-hunting expeditions, monsters, while also living beings, are fundamentally different from humans. In contrast, the demon race, aside from physical appearance and skin color, is largely the same in appearance.
They share the same language as the secret realm continent, and experience the joys and sorrows of normal people. Killing demons is a test of one's mental strength.
Gu'ao's heroic self-destruction made Linda and the others realize that there was no possibility of reconciliation between adventurers and demons. If they were not wiped out, the arrival of the Demon King and his massive army's invasion of the secret realm would mark the beginning of a human tragedy.
"Fight for the Secret Realm Continent"—this heavy responsibility, seemingly from this moment on, has begun to fall, in a small way, on the shoulders of these two adventure teams that have just entered the 20th floor.
Four hours later.
At the mountaintop, the damage from the battle was everywhere, and a dozen adventurers were attacking a huge thunder wolf.
"Shining Shield!"
The girl in the black dress raised her shield high, releasing a rainbow of light that attracted the attention of the enormous thunder wolf.
"All backline classes, focus fire!"
Ebernar gave the order.
Whoosh whoosh!
Fireballs, giant wind blades, and lightning spells were all thrown at them.
The Phoenix Flower team is also going all out.
After a round of spells was completed, the melee classes, led by Linda and Abner, stepped forward to surround and attack the Thunder Wolf.
This is the third monster boss they have defeated, level 46, epic four-star, named Thunder Wolf.
The demon wolf is four meters long, with sharp teeth and a mouthful of lightning. The lightning balls it spits out can cause paralysis.
Linda took the lead, her sword burning with raging black flames, and slashed at the Thunder Wolf's forehead.
The wolf's head was indeed tough; when the Snake Shadow Flowing Pattern Sword struck it, sparks flew, and the shock made Linda's hands go numb.
But the Thunder Wolf wasn't much better off; its head was mangled and its white bones were exposed.
"Slay the Waves!"
As Albert drew his longsword, a clear sound of flowing water rang out, as if a waterfall were falling.
The azure sword light landed on the lower back of the Thunder Wolf, paused for a moment, and then shone brightly again.
After being enhanced by the Buti Tree, Abner's Wave Slash can deal damage twice!
Thunder Wolf was in agony and turned to run away, but Anna was already waiting for him.
The girl giggled, her blood-red round shield planted in the ground like a wall of despair.
When Thunder Wolf shocks others, they feel numb. When he shocks Anna, this terrifying woman's face flushes red, and her fighting power increases instead of decreasing.
"Shield Slam!"
The round shield slammed into the Thunder Wolf's forepaws, causing blood to splatter instantly. Anna's fair cheeks were stained with blood, adding to her alluring beauty.
"Something's not right with this heavily armored warrior."
The members of the White Dove Adventure Team couldn't help but turn their heads.
Taking advantage of the Thunder Wolf's pained writhing, a blue phantom rushed over.
Its fluffy tail resembled a cape, and its ears flew backward in the strong wind.
A phantom of a frost wolf appeared behind Lulu, and she swung her fists left and right, attacking the side of the lightning wolf.
If you have skills, Frost Wolf's angry fangs!
The illusory image of the frost wolf opened its blood-red maw and bit off half of the latter's body.
With a crack, the Thunder Wolf's spine snapped, emitting a pitiful howl.
Lulu was supposed to smash the wolf's head with another punch, but seeing that the wolf was on its last breath, she stopped and turned to look at Linda.
The two shared a deep understanding, communicating with just a glance.
