Faced with the five legendary items that emitted a brilliant golden light, everyone was tempted.
If her basic magic power is already this strong, and she receives the goddess's blessing to further enhance her rank, then she'll be unstoppable.
In addition, all the equipment that dropped was level 50, which was a pleasant surprise, saving me the trouble of replacing it later.
Linda quickly made a decision about how to allocate the equipment.
The fist can be given to Taigo, and the scythe can be given to Mingli.
Give the staff to Monica.
Those spirit boots, which house the souls of fallen warriors, grant magic and agility, and are highly compatible with my own.
What delighted Linda the most was the legendary skill book, [King Serpent Sword Technique].
There are relatively few skills with high attack power. Demon Flame Strike can only be used 3 times, Demon Heart Slash is too slow to activate, and skills such as Venom Orb are not very effective against adventurers, who can take antidotes. Some healers will also learn [Purify].
Linda lacks a small skill that deals decent damage but doesn't consume much mana.
This book, "The King Snake Sword Technique," is perfect for him to learn.
Linda laughed and said, "Tagore, as long as you perform well, you can have this gauntlet. I'll keep it safe for you until you reach the Light Rank. The rest of you don't need to rush, I promise to arrange legendary weapons for everyone."
Taigo was overjoyed: "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely work hard in my cultivation and listen to you from now on!"
Linda waved her hand and put the five legendary items into her ring.
The other team members were envious of Taigo, but upon hearing Linda's promise, they quickly calmed down. They knew Linda was a woman of her word, just like during the Dark Shadow era, when she said she would kick them without hesitation.
The rest of the equipment were all epic-grade. Linda picked out the usable pieces and distributed them, putting the rest into her ring.
The treasure chest contains approximately 30,000 purple-gold coins. The treasure chest and the stone coffin themselves are also quite valuable and can fetch a high price as works of art.
Take them all.
"There's no time to lose. Everyone has heard the goddess's announcement: the ancient city will be closed for one hour. Leave immediately!"
Slight tremors came from underground, but as time passed, the tremors grew stronger, and the ancient city could collapse at any moment.
"Waaah." Haibi was a little uneasy and hugged Linda's neck tightly.
"Don't be afraid, Uncle will take you out," Linda said, stroking Haibi's head to comfort her.
I don't know if the little one understood, but he became quiet and fell asleep in my arms, snoring softly.
Holding a light-level "little monster," Linda's heart was pounding with anxiety, fearing that the creature would open its little mouth and bite his neck.
"Captain, hurry up! The city is about to collapse!" Anna ran to the entrance of the tunnel and saw Linda staring blankly at Haibi. She urged her urgently.
"They're here."
Linda activated her twin magic, black flames exploded beneath her feet, and her speed increased dramatically.
The shaking in the passageway became more violent, with dust and stones falling down, and some places were even blocked.
"Explosive Fist!"
Taigo ran in the lead, his fists enveloped in fiery red fighting spirit, and he knocked away the rubble blocking the road.
The group quickly passed through.
About half an hour later, the tremors became increasingly intense, and large boulders, the size of water tanks, fell from above, completely blocking the passageway.
Linda and Tagore transformed into human-shaped excavators, their longswords and fists swiftly destroying the rubble.
"Captain, I'll do it!"
Monica pointed her staff forward, unleashing a powerful earth-shattering attack.
As Monica arrived at the Moon Staircase, the power and casting speed of the Earth Cannonballs noticeably increased. With a single shot, the rubble in the passageway was completely cleared, creating a space of about twenty meters.
"here you go!"
Linda encouraged, "Keep going, you'll be out soon!"
After another ten minutes or so, with everyone working together, they finally saw light ahead.
It's an export!
Boom—
The passageway behind collapsed like dominoes, the ground crumbled, and rubble and water fell into the dark abyss.
Linda's forehead was covered in sweat as he stared at a stone pillar in front of him and threw out a dark whip to entangle it.
"Hold on tight to me!"
He shouted and grabbed Tagore, who then grabbed Mingli behind him. The group of people, linked together like a gourd, were propelled out of the tunnel by the whip of darkness.
The moment they stepped out, a deafening roar echoed behind them, and the entire ancient city collapsed like a sandcastle, plunging into an endless black hole.
Linda looked down with lingering fear. Ten centimeters ahead, the ground seemed to have been ripped open, and the ancient city was collapsing downwards. No one knew what lay beneath; if you fell in, you probably wouldn't come back.
Looking around, they saw several other adventure teams just as shaken as they were. Some were laughing hysterically, thankful to be alive; others, though once a whole team, were now reduced to only three or four people, standing frozen before the abyss. Still others wore solemn expressions, reflecting on their trial experience.
The purple pillar of light that enveloped the ancient city gradually dissipated, and the battle outside reached its climax, with black-armored knights and adventurers from various cities fighting fiercely against the demons in the air.
The ground was littered with mutilated corpses, and it was difficult to find any intact ones, especially those who had died from magic; they hadn't even taken on a human form. Some of the demons still had horns on their foreheads, which the adventurers hadn't had time to cut off.
The situation was no less dire than the trials in the ancient city.
"Who? Who got the final reward? Damn it, damn it! I didn't even get a hair on the head, and four of my teammates died!"
A swordsman with short blond hair pounded the ground in a fit of rage.
The survivors sighed deeply, their feelings a complex mix.
I thought there were many treasures in the ancient city, and even if I couldn't get the biggest one, I'd be happy with just a sip of soup.
But after all that trial, there was nothing.
The rewards of the trial seem to be a winner-takes-all system.
They felt resentful and jealous.
