After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply Chapter 187

Chapter 187: 164. Witch, who isn't one these days?

“Dark Shadow knows 'Mystery Spiral', do you?”

“Dark Shadow can stand motionless in the courtyard all night long, contemplating the ultimate secrets of the Laws of Heaven and Earth. Even the top adventurers can't detect the slightest movement in his body, not even his organs or blood circulation. Can you?”

“When Dark Shadow releases his ultimate skill in the villa, he can kill a giant dragon without damaging the furniture in the slightest.”

“Can you?”

The words of Tasya fell like hailstones, hitting Lin Da in the chest one after another.

And Lin Da's face began to take on an increasingly strange expression.

These things didn't seem all that impressive.

The so-called 'Mystery Spiral' simply referred to a game character spinning in place.

It was generally just Lin Da being bored, clicking around on the map.

Standing in the courtyard all night, with not even the blood flow observable.

That was because Lin Da had logged off in the courtyard.

To release an ultimate skill within the villa and not damage any furniture seemed like a transcendent control of magic power.

But in reality, that was just how the game settings were.

Lin Da could kill level 100 Magical Creatures, but couldn't destroy a bench inside the villa or a tree blocking the path in town.

The game developers had set these things to be indestructible.

Releasing his ultimate skill in the villa was just Lin Da being extremely bored, pressing a key casually, and that was it!

Of course, he definitely wouldn't say this at a time like this.

In Tasya's eyes, which twinkled like stars, filled with reverence, it seemed Dark Shadow performing these deeds was greater than the deities themselves.

If Lin Da were to say that all those actions were born from his boredom, he would likely face Tasya's stern backlash.

'Mystery Spiral' indeed.

She really has quite the imagination!

In any case.

Given Tasya's adoration for Dark Shadow, she probably would find it hard to believe that her level 19 self was in fact the master she had been searching for so eagerly.

Lin Da changed his tone and said, “That's right, I and Dai Lian, had the fortune to meet once. It was from him that I learned of your existence. He also told me that if I met Tasya, and was in trouble, I could ask her for help.”

“You've met the master? Where? When?”

Tasya put away her magic cannon, and her gaze eagerly shook Lin Da's shoulder.

“Stop, stop shaking.”

Lin Da felt dizzy, as a level 19 back-row profession, how could he endure the shaking of a Star-ranked adventurer.

“Cough, my apologies.”

Tasya let go of him, took a deep breath, and with her hands lifting her skirt, she made an elegant curtsy.

“Since you are a friend of the master, then you are also a friend of mine, Tasya. Please forgive my disrespect just now.”

“May I ask you to tell me about the master?”

The excitement in Tasya's heart was unmistakable.

After three long years of searching fruitlessly for the master, she finally saw a glimmer of hope today.

“It's like this…”

Lin Da concocted a vague lie to brush Tasya off.

“The Great Mystery Continent on level 10…? The master appeared there?”

Tasya pondered.

“Yes. If you have a chance, you can go to the 10th level to investigate; perhaps you can find traces of Dai Lian.” Lin Da raised an eyebrow, “As a friend of Dai Lian, can you let me pass? I'm sure this would not be a bad thing for the Scarlet Adventure Group.”

“No.”

“You are lying.”

Tasya's expression suddenly turned cold.

The cyan Wind Battle Qi surged to the surface of her skin, emitting a feeling of extreme danger.

“I'm telling the truth in every word,” Lin Da replied with a calm demeanor.

Tasya laughed.

It was a laugh cold enough to chill one's bones.

“I admit, you do know some information about the master. But that doesn't mean you have seen the master, or even that you're a friend of the master.”

“Why?” Lin Da still remained composed.

Tasya said, “The answer is actually very simple. Your eyes, tone, and demeanor, lack respect for the master.”

Lin Da was stunned.

Seeing his 'panicked' expression, Tasya's eyes gleamed with growing confidence.

“How can someone who has met the master, who is greater than the deities, consider him as an equal, a friend?”

“Even the Turtle Race, proud of their ability to procreate for 24 hours, doesn't have one ten-thousandth of your arrogance.”

Tasya crossed her arms in front of her proud chest, her gaze sharp and venomous, with bone-chilling coldness, as if she were looking at a big foolish Small Fry who didn't know its place.

The intense pressure of the Battle Qi and the aggression in her eyes forced Lin Da to involuntarily step back.

It's as if his clothes were being ripped apart by the wind, leaving him naked in the coldest of winters.

At a time like this, what's most terrifying is not the cold, but under the scrutinizing eyes of this ill-tempered brown-skinned maid, should his body react in any way, it would be an eternal shame he could never live down.

Lin Da used to enjoy Tasya's contemptuous CG images in the game and found them quite attractive, but without the screen as a barrier and with the real person appearing right before him,

Her frosty, scornful gaze put a significant amount of pressure on Lin Da, causing the magic circuits within his body to feel as if they had frozen over, unable to function.

“Indeed.” Tasya curled her lips into a smirk, “If you can't even withstand my aura, how could you stand before the master? Even I, in the presence of that great adventurer, would involuntarily tremble and be overwhelmed by his power and mystery.”

“I will tie you up, punish you severely, and make you confess all the true information about the master,” she declared.

Tasya took out a small black whip from the large pocket of her maid dress.

This is bad.

Lin Da's face changed.

Wasn't that whip a gift he had given to Tasya?

Purple quality, adding 10 points of favorability, and it cost him 6 dollars.

And Kafni and Monica, who couldn't just watch their leader be tied up, hurried over to rescue him.

“Ugh!”

“Eeek!”

As a result, both of them were whipped on their buttocks, wailing in pain.

On the whip, there was a “Double the Pain” skill, making a single strike excruciating for the already delicate teammates, completely robbing them of their combat strength.

“Of all the stratagems, fleeing is the best!”

Lin Da silently recited in his mind, grabbed a teammate with each hand, and tucked them under his arms as he charged toward the small hill.

As long as he got close to the Breeze River Beach and Dawen saw him, stopping Tasya would be manageable.

Lin Da wished he could take two steps at once, his calf muscles pronounced and twisted like evil Giant Dragons.

With each step he took, soil flew in all directions.

One would think he was a Heavy Armored Warrior if they didn't know any better.

“Where do you think you're going?”

The honeycomb launcher on Tasya's Magic Cannon whirled, and a barrage of energy bullets poured out.

Lin Da twisted his body into various shapes as if playing the most difficult dance machine level.

The Magic-guided Bullets outlined his figure, somehow missing him completely.

Tasya let out a surprised yelp, her eyes taking on a more serious look.

The next shot aimed for Lin Da's ankles.

Feeling a chill running up his spine, Lin Da hurriedly applied the Verdant Shield to himself.

Looking back, he judged from the 'Skill Special Effects' emerging from Tasya's Magic Cannon–the green Battle Qi turned into threads and was sucked into the barrel; it was Tasya's second skill, Gathering Energy Shot.

The consumption was “medium,” and the next three normal attacks would increase damage by 300%.

Troublesome.

Lin Da thought with a headache that his current health points were 6100 and his shield thickness was 2745, adding up to 8845. Withstanding an attack from Tasya, a Star-ranked adventurer, once wouldn't be a problem, but what about a Triple Cast?

Tasya's innate skill “Storm of Death” would cause additional Magic Damage for every three hits on the same target.

If he was hit by Tasya in three rounds, he definitely wouldn't be able to hold on.

The green energy gradually gathered in the barrel of the Magic Cannon.

Bang.

A pebble, from nowhere, hit Tasya's index finger and prevented the Magic Cannon from firing.

Tasya's gaze darkened, looking in the direction of the pebble.

Amidst the distant crab horde, a girl cloaked in a robe and hood could be seen.

Her body low to the ground, her fluffy, light blue tail swung gracefully with her vigorous running.

The hundred-meter distance was crossed in the blink of an eye.

The girl jumped, her hood blown off by the strong current of air.

Her light blue short hair fluttered wildly.

Her furry ears stood straight up.

Coldness and anger filled the girl's face; she wrinkled her nose, and her open mouth revealed sharp canine teeth, like a vicious wolf leaping at its prey!

Tasya was momentarily distracted.

“Lulu?”

Clearly, Tasya recognized the Werewolf girl.

A reunion of old teammates, yet Tasya felt far from joy, with hardly any emotional fluctuation,

Even when both were part of the Primitive Adventure Team, they wouldn't greet each other in the corridors, their acquaintance limited to merely knowing of the other's existence.

However–as someone who had once been under her master's command, it suggested that Lulu must have some merit. Why would she protect the impostor claiming to be Dark Shadow?

Tasya frowned in confusion.

Lin Da, from a distance, also noticed this scene.

A figure in a black robe appeared from nowhere, attacking Tasya.

The fight erupted in an instant.

Beast claws crossed for a slash.

Turning into a blue cross-shaped radiance.

Tasya used her Magic Cannon as a shield to block laterally.

Boom!

With the power of the cross-shaped light so formidable, even Tasya, a Star Rank, was forced to retreat several meters.

Mud stained her white stocking.

Tasya's gaze turned colder.

These stockings were also a gift from her master.

Holding the Magic Cannon with both hands, she aimed at Lulu, “Don't meddle in others' affairs, or else, I won't hesitate to take you down.”

Lulu's claws extended three centimeters, fierce as those of a lion or tiger.

“If you think you can, go ahead and try.”

Lulu said calmly, a black mist rising in her pale blue eyes.

A beautiful black Flower of the Heart emerged on the skin near her heart.

This flower, wrapped in thorns,

The spiky thorns grew along the surface of the skin, spreading towards her limbs and throughout.

That is the Witch Power.

Activating the Flower of the Heart, she temporarily boosted her strength to the maximum.

Normally, Lulu would never act so rashly.

Activating the Flower of the Heart always led to significant erosion of her body by the Fallen Insects within, and the pain would be doubled when the contamination flared up later.

But now was different.

She had Lin Da, who could help her clear the contamination every day.

The Witch Power, reserved for life-and-death crises and only used as a last resort, became a minor skill that could be used at any time.

If the contamination accumulated too much, then she would simply have Lin Da clean it up… Lulu, with some ulterior motives, activated the Flower of the Heart to the greatest extent.

Once this fight was over, Lin Da would have to deep-clean her contamination.
