After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply-Chapter 646 - : 464. Thousand-mile raid, all Moon Rank arrive together_2
Chapter 646: 464. Thousand-mile raid, all Moon Rank arrive together_2
Several hours had passed, and a hint of dawn began to show on the horizon.
The temperature rose, making everyone sweat profusely.
“Why can’t we catch up? Has his magic power not run out yet?!”
Bear Xiong thundered furiously, grabbing the Birdman Mage by the collar, “Does your ‘wind element blessing’ even work?”
“Cough, cough, I tried my best…! Theoretically, we should have caught up with him long ago,” the Birdman Mage said awkwardly.
Propelling the wings consumed a real amount of magic power; if it was a level 41 Moon Rank, he should have been exhausted an hour ago.
The members of Bear Roar Adventure Group were utterly confused.
…
“Are you alright?”
Not far ahead, Aiko anxiously helped Lin Da wipe his sweat.
Lin Da’s back was already soaked, and upon hearing Aiko’s question, he paused for a second before slowly responding, “I’m fine.”
The suppressed drowsiness, like a wild beast breaking out of its cage, continuously gnawed at Lin Da’s spirit.
At the moment, a tense string was being stretched in Lin Da’s mind, and if it were to snap, he might pass out and plummet downwards.
“Thanks to the ‘fast recovery’ scroll that Anna gave me…”
Lin Da thought gratefully.
This was the scroll that Anna had entrusted to President Velen to deliver during the competition in White Dove City.
It could quickly heal an adventurer’s injuries and also had good effects on restoring stamina and magic power.
Such a scroll, scarce in production and high in value, was not something ordinary people could buy, even if they had the money.

It should have been saved for tackling high-difficulty Mystic Realms, but it was wasted here…
Lin Da squinted his eyes, a chill forming in the pit of his stomach.
If he hadn’t had this scroll and hadn’t upgraded to Moon Rank, what he’d have wasted wouldn’t have been the ‘fast recovery’ but the ‘Experience Card.’
His only one, and his lid-bottom card, was necessarily reserved for the biggest event in the 2.0 version.
“If I don’t take out Bear Roar, Bear Roar Adventure Group will take me out.
While in the city, I’m still safe and sound.
But once we enter the wild, the level 20 Great Mystery Continent, these chaotic regions beyond the reach of the Empire’s laws…
The consequences would be unthinkable.
Even if I die in the wilderness, my death could easily be blamed on Magical Creatures and Heretics.”
A murderous intent rose in Lin Da’s chest.
But reason constantly cautioned him that the lives of these Beastmen weren’t worth him using the ‘Dark Shadow’, his trump card.
“I need to possess power in my own hands, completely my own, and not rely on Dark Shadow for everything.”
Lin Da found himself in a conflicted state of mind, wanting more experience cards and yet wishing to break free from the bonds of Dark Shadow to surpass his former self.
If this world were just like the game, immutable,
Lin Da would prefer to go with the conventional strategy to defeat the Demon King and then retire to live a shameless life with his teammates.
But the incident on the 19th level, the resurgence of the Aweis Dynasty, the defection of Coldmoon Duke Evelyn, the unpredictable situation of the continent…
These events gave Lin Da a bad feeling.
He must surpass Dark Shadow to cope with these unforeseen changes.
With the ‘Recovery Series’ given by Kafni and the ‘Twin Series’ he developed himself, there was hope of achieving this goal, and it wasn’t zero.
“Adjust your breathing, try to follow the direction of the wind when flying, and reduce magic power consumption…”
Lin Da’s eyes shone as he looked ahead.
The sun rose from the end of the horizon and quickly set.
Whoosh whoosh—
Successive groups passed through a clump of clouds, ripping it apart like wild beasts tearing fabric, scattering the clouds instantly.
A caravan passed by here, its dark-skinned merchant boss hearing the sound and looking up at the sky, his eyes widening.
“So many Moon rank adventurers? What are they doing?” the merchant said in astonishment.
“Shh, keep it down! Big Shot affairs, better to pretend we saw nothing!”
The adventurer guard looked tense, quickly covering the merchant’s mouth, “If we got noticed, one high-level magic spell could annihilate us.”
“Indeed, you are a smart man.”
A sudden sneer erupted.
A Beastman with a fiery red comb hovered in the air, his face bearing a cruel smile.
He raised his magic wand and chanted, “Fire element, transform into a torrent of destruction, devour the ants before me—sea of fire spell!”
“Spare us!”
“No!!!”
“Wooah!”
A fiery rain descended from the sky, and within a few breaths, the entire convoy turned to ash.
“I can’t let you see the people of Bear Roar chasing down the captain of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team.”
The fiery red chicken creature sadly shook its head, flapped its wings, and flew back into the blue sky.
“Is it done?” Bear Roar, with a stern face, looked towards the dark figure ahead.
“Not a single one left, all turned to ash.”
“Good…”
Bear Ji nodded, his smile not reaching his eyes as he said, “This kid is also nearly out of flight. Seventeen hours, I didn’t expect him to last this long!”
“Big brother, regardless of whether the death of Hu Er was his doing or not, he must…” Bear Xiong’s eyes hardened as he made a throat-slitting gesture.
The willpower displayed by Lin Da left the members of the Bear Roar Adventure Group in awe. Such a person, if not a friend, must be eliminated, otherwise, he would be an endless threat!
Luckily, after a long flight, Lin Da’s magic power had been almost completely depleted by them.
“Kid, take my Black Bear Slash!”
Wrapped in his teammates’ wind spells, Bear Xiong’s speed significantly increased, and in an instant, he attacked from behind Lin Da, his curved knife carrying the force of splitting mountains as it slashed towards Lin Da’s back!
The cold wind whistled in, stinging Lin Da’s back, revitalizing his weary spirit.
The Serpent Shadow Patterned Sword unsheathed from his waist, recalling the swordmanship instructions from Isa and Lia, Lin Da first applied a “Toxic Enchantment,” the blade emitting a faint purple glow, and then he stabbed towards Bear Xiong’s curved knife.
As the sword moved, the purple gem on the Serpent Shadow Patterned Sword opened like a snake’s eye, and a formidable wave of magic power burst forth suddenly!
Clang!!!
The Serpent Shadow Patterned Sword and Bear Xiong’s mountain-chopping knife collided, sending a sonic boom sweeping the area.
The clouds were torn into irregular shapes, and the birds hiding within had their brains shattered, falling straight down.
“Oooh…”
Aiko covered her ears, emitting a painful cry.
The magic unleashed by their mutual attack was so powerful that the core essence in the spiritual world trembled violently, as if a finger was stirring it forcefully.
And this was the result of Lin Da diverting part of his magic power to protect her.
Even a slight grazing from the strike of a Moon Rank adventurer was, at lightest, severely damaging.
“I can now understand why Lia was so eager to conquer the 19th level.”
The gap between the Star Rank and the Moon Rank is… too vast…”
Aiko felt powerless and secretly resolved to strive to help Snow Goose advance to Sunrise Level.
After that strike, Bear Xiong staggered to steady himself, while Lin Da utilized the impact to widen the distance by a few meters.
“A Legendary Weapon!”
Bear Xiong glanced at the notch that had appeared on his knife, his face changing expressions.
That move had not given him any advantage, and his weapon even suffered minor damage.
If the battle continued, in less than fifty moves, his Epic Level curved knife would be damaged.
“Why does this kid have a Legendary Weapon? If I also had one, how could I not defeat a kid three levels lower than me…!”
Bear Xiong felt unbearable envy. If Magical Equipment wasn’t bound to an individual’s Magic Circuit, making it impossible for other adventurers to use, he would definitely have snatched Lin Da’s sword.
A single weapon, directly compensating for a gap of three levels.
“Quick, let’s all attack together, he doesn’t have much strength left!”
Bear Xiong, seeing Lin Da struggle to flap his wings, urgently spoke.
“Idiot!”
Though he thought he would be praised by Big Brother, Bear Ji instead slapped him on the forehead, leaving a big bump.
Bear Xiong felt wronged: “That move of mine drained his strength.”
“Too late!”
Hearing this from Big Brother, Bear Xiong was confused.
It was only when the Birdman Mage quietly hinted did Bear Xiong realize something was amiss.
Ten formidable waves of power were rapidly approaching from the direction of White Dove City!
Though those people’s aura was generally inferior to theirs, they were authentic Moon Rank.
“There are Moon Ranks in White Dove City?” Bear Xiong’s eyelids twitched.
The ten people in the distance, plus Lin Da… They definitely couldn’t keep them.
If today’s events were exposed…
Bear Xiong, scratching his head frantically, said, “Big Brother, what do we do? Should we take them down?”
“No, it’s too dangerous!”
Bear Ji, his face as grim as water, said, “Wait and see if we can negotiate with them. As long as they are willing to hand over Lin Da, even one billion Gold Coins can be offered!”
He didn’t believe that a group of adventurers, freshly promoted to Moon Rank and with unstable auras, would choose to confront a veteran Sunrise Level adventure group over Lin Da!
