After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply-Chapter 659: Experience at Five-layered Mountain

In the blue teleportation glow, Sterry and the others waved their hands and disappeared.

Whether it was an illusion or not, the dense fog that permeated the world seemed to thicken.

"Lin Da, the Demons might be targeting you."

With a serious expression, Abner said, "That Demon named Guao recognized you. There aren't many adventurers from the southern region of Cangqing Province who have made it onto the 'Monthly Rankings'. Your bounty is 100,000 Purple Gold Coins, which is highly coveted by the Demons."

Lin Da stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before saying, "In that case, let's head to the Five-layered Mountain Area."

"Ah?" Kafni exclaimed, "The Magical Creatures there are at least level 45!"

"Abner, what do you think?" Lin Da did not look at Kafni but instead asked Abner.

Abner said, "Well, Triple Mountain would be more... "

"Right, that's it." Lin Da said with a faint smile, "Those veteran Demons' adventure teams will also think that if I enter the 20th layer, I'll likely be in the Triple Mountain area. Going to Five-layered Mountain could help us avoid them.

Our two adventure teams working together should be able to handle the Magical Creatures there.

If not, we will abandon this venture into the 20th layer of the Mystic Realm!"

After giving it some thought, Gale clenched his teeth and said, "Fortune favors the bold, Lin Da makes sense!"

Looking toward the higher mountains ahead, some people were excited, others fearful.

But no one backed down.

Before that, they scavenged through the spoils of war.

The Demons' Space Rings all had marks on them and couldn't be used, and the equipment on their bodies was bound to Magic Circuits. With the owner dead, it turned into scrap metal.

However, some magic items in their pockets were unowned and could fetch a decent price.

Lin Da collected everything that hadn't been damaged by the self-destruction.

Afterward, he swung his sword and cut off the horns from several Demons' bodies.

"Aside from the two who exploded, there are a total of eight bodies."

Lin Da handed half of the "demonic horns" to Abner.

Once out of the World Tree, they could offer these items before the Goddess statue to receive blessings.

The bloody demonic horns were still attached to bits of flesh. Seeing Abner's stiff expression, Lin Da advised, "Let them go; die, and it's over for us. Don't overthink it."

"I understand, it's just a little emotional." Abner sighed softly, "Let's set out, to Five-layered Mountain."

Unlike before when they hunted Magical Creatures, although Magical Creatures were also living beings, they differed fundamentally from humans. In contrast, Demons were largely similar to humans, aside from their physical form and skin color.

They shared the same language as the inhabitants of the Mystic Continent and experienced the same range of human emotions. Killing Demons was a psychological test.

The heroic self-destruction of Guao made Lin Da and his companions acutely aware that there was no possibility of reconciliation between adventurers and Demons. Unless they were completely eradicated, once the Demon King revived and his armies massively invaded the Mystic Continent, it would be the beginning of a human tragedy.

"For the Mystic Continent," this burden, heavy as a mountain, seemed to fall, even if just a little, on the shoulders of the two adventure teams who had just entered the 20th layer.

...

...

Four hours later.

Atop the mountain, there were scars of battle everywhere, and a dozen adventurers were attacking a huge Thunder Wolf.

"Shining Shield!"

The girl in the black dress raised her shield high, unleashing a rainbow brilliance that captured the attention of the huge Thunder Wolf.

"All ranged professions, focus fire!"

Abner gave the order.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Fierce Fireballs, Giant Wind Blades, and Thunderbolt Spells were all hurled over in quick succession.

The Phoenix Tail Flower group also went all out with their firepower.

After a round of spells had been cast, the melee professions, led by Lin Da and Abner, stepped forward to surround and attack the Thunder Wolf.

This was the third Demon Boss they were subduing, level 46, Epic Four-Star, known as the Thunder Lightning Demon Wolf.

The Demon Wolf was four meters long, with razor-sharp teeth and emitting a glow of lightning, and its Thunder Balls could cause paralysis.

Lin Da charged forward, the surging Black Flame burning on his sword as he sliced into the forehead of the Thunder Lightning Demon Wolf.

The wolf's head proved tough; the sword sparked as it struck, sending numbing vibrations through Lin Da's hands.

But the Thunder Lightning Demon Wolf fared no better, its head flesh torn to reveal bare bones.

"Wave Slash!"

Abner drew his long knife, and a clear sound of flowing water rang out, as if a waterfall was descending.

The azure sword glow landed at the rear waist of the Thunder Lightning Demon Wolf, paused for a moment, then the sword glow brightened once more.

Empowered by the Buti Tree, Abner's Wave Slash could deal double damage!

The Thunder Wolf, in agony, attempted to escape, but Anna had already blocked its way.

The girl chuckled with glee, the bloody shield planted in the ground like a wall of despair.

When others were hit by the Thunder Wolf's attack, they felt numb, but when it struck Anna, the terrifying woman's cheeks flushed, and her combat prowess increased instead of diminished.

"Shield Bash!"

The round shield struck the Thunder Lightning Demon Wolf's front paw, causing blood to splatter, and with blood on her pale cheeks, Anna looked even more bewitching.

"This Heavy Armored Warrior seems really off."

The members of the White Dove Adventure Group could not help but glance sideways.

Taking advantage of the rolling Thunder Wolf's distress, a blue phantom rushed forward.

The fluffy tail resembled a cloak, and its ears were swept back by the strong wind.

Behind Lulu, a Frost Wolf's illusion emerged, and her fists swung left and right, attacking the Thunder Lightning Demon Wolf's flank.

Rare Technique, Frost Wolf Rage Fang!

The Frost Wolf illusion opened its enormous maw, biting onto the rear half of its body.

With a crunch, the Thunder Lightning Demon Wolf's spine snapped, and it emitted a pitiful howl.

Lulu should have continued and crushed the wolf's head with another punch, but seeing it was breathless and barely alive, she stopped and turned to look at Lin Da.

The tacit understanding between them was conveyed with just a glance.

The Serpent Shadow Patterned Sword thrust forward, entering the Thunder Lightning Demon Wolf's mouth and piercing through the back of its head.
