After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply-Chapter 694 - 489. Big radish, back to South Rock City!_2

Chapter 694: 489. Big radish, back to South Rock City!_2

In Taige’s eyes, this was an upgraded version of the Magic Flame Flash. Lin Da could release several bursts as he wished.

If she could react to this move and concentrate all her energy in one spot to resist, she would barely be able to block it. But without this awareness, being suddenly attacked by Lin Da… the most likely outcome was her being severely wounded and falling to the ground.

“I am of the Fighter profession, known for durability, and even I find it hard to defend against this move. If it were an ordinary warrior like Mingli, they’d be gone in an instant!”

A chill ran through Taige’s heart, and his round tiger ears pressed tightly against his head.

Not to mention beating Dark Shadow, she couldn’t even defeat the “normal state” Eye of True Knowledge!

But Lin Da just laughed and said, “As a support profession, attacking is actually not what I’m worst at.”

Taige: “Ah?”

Support profession?

You’re killing people with a single strike, and you’re a support profession?

After Lin Da said this, he snapped his fingers again.

An emerald light shield enveloped Taige’s head.

“What, what is this!”

Taige’s eyes widened in shock.

“Mingli, hit me and try.”

She had a strong premonition that this shield was extraordinary.

“Oh, okay!”

Mingli swung his scissors, executing a move called [Chaotic Shear].

It wasn’t until Mingli finished a full combination that the shield finally shattered.

Chaotic Shear was a skill with above-average damage and a long duration.

Normally, a full combo would have taken the tiger head right off Taige.

But with the Verdant Shield equipped, Taige was unharmed.

“No way, how thick is this shield calculated in units?” Taige was dumbfounded.

He thought that Lin Da was just bluffing when he said he wasn’t good at attacking.

Turns out, he really wasn’t!

“The thickness of the shield…”

Lin Da opened his personal panel.

Checking it again to reinforce the memory.

Verdant shield, skill level 5, the thickness is half of his hit points.

The current attributes are as follows.

Name: Lin Da

Level: 46

Hit Points: 41150

Magic Attack: 20443

Strength: 20443

Defense: 1400

Magic Defense: 1558

Agility: 890

Extra Bonus: Poison damage +20%

Resistance: Poison resistance 30%

Experience Points: 100,000/5,000,000

Common Skill Points: 7

Mystical Points: 300,000

Diamonds: 2,740,000

…

Having advanced to level 46 and equipped with gear that burst out from the Ten Thousand Mountains, Lin Da’s hit points soared to a terrifying 41150!

By comparison, Anna the Heavy Armored Warrior had about 30,000 hit points.

Lulu had 17,000.

Taige, being a Fighter, was somewhat tougher, but also around 20,000.

As for the ranged professions, they were even more fragile, with Monica having 10,000, Tasya 13,000, and Kafni 14,000; the three of them combined didn’t match Lin Da’s hit points.

The thickness of the Verdant Shield was half of his hit points, thus 20,575 points.

Just this shield alone was tougher than anyone else but Anna.

This was why it could withstand a full combo of Mingli’s “Chaotic Shear.”

When he mentioned this number, Taige was speechless.

“With a shield this thick, walking in the Nine-layered Mountain Region would be like walking on flat ground, right? At the same rank, maybe I could even beat Lord Bailuo!”

The thickness of the shield was astonishing. If Lin Da had been of the Light or Sacred Rank, Taige might have understood, but Lin Da was only of the Moon Rank.

At this level, a shield with over 20,000 points was unheard of.

Now, Taige was starting to believe in Lin Da’s words.

—He really could take him to the top of the World Tree.

If that dream could be realized, Taige would happily work for Lin Da, even as a beast of burden.

“Mingli, let’s join him,” Taige said excitedly.

“Hmm, yeah.” Mingli had been thinking this from the start.

Beneath her thick bangs, a pair of eyes tinged with the hue of peach blossoms stared at Lin Da, unable to look away.

Indeed, it was the aura of the team leader!

Although Lin Da had many Oath-bound, as long as she had a corner where she could silently watch Lin Da and occasionally receive his affection, she was content.

In front of those dazzling, star-like Primordial team members, Mingli had no ambitions of having Lin Da all to herself.

Two young girls walked up to Lin Da and bowed deeply, “Captain/Boss, please accept us!”

“Very good, very good, once you sign this contract, you’ll be members of Phoenix Tail Flower.”

Lin Da gently stroked their little heads.

The contract was quite standard, offering free equipment, and in addition, a guaranteed monthly salary of 500,000 Gold Coins, plus a 5% adventure commission.

The emphasis was on the team leader’s reward.

Lin Da believed that whoever performed well would receive extra rewards, including but not limited to magic items, Skill Books, head pats, and sparring sessions with the team leader, and if it was an Oath-bound, he or she might even get “Lin Da’s Hard Work.”

The benefits were plentiful.

“What a generous treatment!” Taige wagged his tail, “In our Dark Flame, there’s no guaranteed monthly salary.”

“Phoenix Tail Flower’s income is quite decent, 500,000 Gold Coins isn’t much. If you perform well later, the base salary could be raised to several million,” Lin Da said cheerfully.

“Okay, boss, I promise to work hard!” Taige declared loudly.

Mingli: “Me, me too.”

That evening, Lin Da arranged accommodations for the two newcomers.

Then he returned to his room with Lulu and Monica, intending to purify them that night.

After a fierce battle, Lin Da held two girls in his bed, their cheeks still flushed with color, feeling utterly blissful.

Gaining a Level 46 Taige and Level 44 Mingli, the combat power of Phoenix Tail Flower greatly increased.

In terms of attributes, there were now Recovery Series, Poison Series, Lulu’s Steel System, Kafni’s attribute-less Battle Qi System, earth system, wind-based system, Heavy Armored Warrior, and the rare Bloodline as well.

With the addition of Fire Series and Dark Series now.

The common attributes still missing were thunder, water, illusion, and light.

In terms of professions, still lacking were the pure support profession [Bard],functional support with some offensive capabilities [Scholar],

and life professions [Magic Pharmacist], [Top-Ranked Chef].

With these, facing most Mystic Realms, there wouldn’t be the awkward situation of lacking people.

Watching Phoenix Tail Flower gradually getting on the right track, Lin Da felt an unstoppable energy within him.

Someday, he would find all his team members again.

“I wonder where those distant main-duty team members are now, and what are they doing?” Lin Da’s thoughts drifted.

He had asked Anna from the Royal Capital, but Anna always avoided discussing this issue. Of course, it wasn’t that she didn’t want to speak, but that she couldn’t!

Anna solemnly told him that her Light Rank powers were sealed and why she hoped he would take down the Cold Moon and Mountain Dukes, two legends; both reasons were related to this matter.

Behind Anna was a palm-sized, black pentagram formation.

Named [Unspoken Oath].

Those branded with this mark could not reveal secrets by any means. The instant they attempted to disclose anything, the formation would unleash a demon’s hand to pull the betrayer’s soul into the abyss.

However, Anna’s inability to speak didn’t mean Lin Da couldn’t guess.

[Unspoken Oath] is an extremely complicated and costly oath to invoke.

It would be easier to kill the person involved.

This indicates that the other party either has reservations about Anna or cannot bear to kill her.

“The one responsible could be Cold Moon Duke, or perhaps the head of the Four Great Dukes, Mountain Duke! Along with a few other possibilities.”

No matter who the adversary was, it all pointed back to the Royal Capital.

Lin Da took a deep breath, holding his two team members tightly.

He needed to gather more strength.

Enough strength to disregard any conspiracy or scheme and to crush the mastermind with one slap.

…

Three days later, South Rock City.

“Brother Bear, it’s bad, that group of youngsters from White Dove City brazenly entered our World Tree!”

In a leisure manor backed by a man-made lake, the two Bear Ji brothers were comfortably lounging on deck chairs.

A Bunny Girl, blushing, was about to start a massage.

Just then, a blue-hued Birdman Mage burst in hurriedly.

Hearing this, Bear Xiong was instantly furious.

“What? Phoenix Tail Flower entered our World Tree? Who gave them the audacity?!”

Bear Xiong pushed the Bunny Girl away and pulled up his trousers, heading out of the manor.

“Hold on, something’s fishy here!”

Bear Ji, ever the cunning one, immediately sensed something was amiss.

A month ago, Lin Da was pursued by them until he was thoroughly embarrassed.

Even with the help of White Dove Adventure Group, he didn’t dare to stand up to them, instead scurrying back to the city in disgrace.

From the newspapers, it was shown that upon entering the Ten Thousand Mountains, Phoenix Tail Flower suffered a setback in their first battle, and the morale of the team members were severely affected. A mage named Rand from the accompanying White Dove Adventure Group even died.

It all pointed to Phoenix Tail Flower’s mediocre strength.

At least considerably weaker compared to the average Level 44 Bear Roar Adventure Group.
