After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Chapter 448: 346, Lin Da light gauze Hulus, “side quest” completed
 

Hulus was about to roar in anger, baring his heart.

But thinking of the disparity in strength between himself and Lin Da and others, it felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, quenching his rage instantly.

He had lost an arm, and his Life Barrier was in peril.

In order to summon the Skeleton Army, he had also spent eighty percent of his Magic Power.

He was no match for Monica.

All the girls beguiled by the Demon King, when they first enter the Witch State, possess unprecedented power.

It’s like a freshly produced soda from the Elf Forest, the gases are most abundant when the cap is first twisted open.

It’s the same with witches.

The first time they use the power of the witch, the bodies of the girls are pure and flawless, available for corruption and defilement.

Although Monica was only level 35, with the power of the witch augmenting her, she had the capability to face a level 39 of the Star Rank.

When Monica unleashed Earth Bombardment, she was barehanded without any magical equipment.

Still, she crippled him in two moves.

If she were equipped with a suit of Epic Equipment…

Hulus realized the gap between them and calmed down completely.

“Skeleton Soldiers, shield my form, pave the way for my escape!”

Hulus gritted his teeth, enduring intense pain as he got up.

Even with one arm gone, he still had great prospects.

Shortly after joining Dragon’s Rest Tomb, he was nicknamed “the old inventor.”

He was one of the members most likely to succeed in creating an Artificial Witch.

As long as he found a place to hide and continue his experiments.

The day he succeeded, he would return to Dragon’s Rest Tomb and earn the favor of the higher-ups!

“I am destined to reach Moon Rank, Light Rank, and even become legendary! How can I die here!”

“As long as I can make it to that place…!”

Hulus’s face was ferocious as he roared silently.

Dragging his severely injured body, he headed towards a secret passage.

There was a small teleportation array there, his backup plan.

He hadn’t intended to use it, but now it seemed he was indeed wise!

Twenty meters, ten meters, eight meters…

As he got closer to the secret passage, a look of joy appeared on Hulus’s face.

Clever you, Lin Da, wallowing in your infatuation with women.

He was only concerned with his sweet nothings with the witch, not noticing his own stealthy escape.

Hulus wished he could take three steps in two, spring like a starving wolf, and dive right into the teleportation array.

Seeing that he was getting closer to the teleportation array.

A thunderous shout like a bolt from the blue rang out from behind:

“Lao Deng, where do you think you’re running? Monica, trap him!”

“Yes, Captain! Earth, Prison, Art!”

Hulus’s mind buzzed, and he turned back in panic, only to see Monica raising her magic wand, pointing in his direction.

The ground thundered and vibrated, making the floor beneath Hulus feel like a shaky wooden bridge, causing him to lurch forward and backward.

Immediately after, walls of earth rose all around, blocking out the already dim light in the cave.

Hulus’s field of vision went pitch black.

“No!!!”

The teleportation array to escape was just ahead; Hulus couldn’t reconcile himself to his fate.

His eyes bloodshot, he suddenly exerted force in his legs, his battered body like a shriveled tomato, squeezing out the remaining juice, blood spurting from his wounds.

Ignoring the pain, Hulus leapt up, trying to jump through a gap at the top.

But anticipating his move, Monica caused a thick wall of earth to grow from above.

Hulus’s head hit it with a thud.

His vision dimmed, and he felt dazed.

It seemed he saw his brother Kam’s soul, smiling and beckoning to him.

The Earth Prison Art turned into an upside-down bowl, trapping Hulus within.

Monica said, “Captain, this is a new skill I’ve mastered!”

“Impressive, impressive.”

Lin Da smiled as he ruffled Big Lolita’s head.

Monica, having advanced to level 35, not only mastered the Earth Prison Art but also evolved her Ultimate Skill [Falling Rock Technique] into [Rockfall Array], causing tremendous damage.

At that moment, Hulus’s shrill cries came from within the earth prison:

“Monica, let me out, have you forgotten how good grandpa was to you?

Such precious Magic Potion, grandpa used it all on you alone, grandpa loves you, oh!

Without grandpa, how could you have transformed into a witch?

You should be thanking grandpa, it was I who made you strong!

So… let grandpa out quickly!”

“You’re not my grandpa, you’re a bad man!” Monica angrily raised her eyebrows, her magic wand aimed at the earth prison.

At a command from Lin Da, she would release Earth Bombardment and reduce Hulus to mincemeat.@@novelbin@@

“Hahaha, you fell for it, those words were just to distract you!”

In reality, Hulus summoned skeleton moles, which began burrowing within the earth prison. The moles quickly tunneled a passage, and Hulus stuck his head out, ecstatically crawling out.

What he saw, however, was Lin Da with his arms crossed, looking down at him with a half-smiling, half-mocking expression.

“Waaaah!!!”

Hulus’s face turned pale with fear, and he hurriedly dived back into the passage.

“Lao Deng, tell me where the ‘Lord’ of Dragon’s Rest Tomb is, and the whereabouts of Demon General Si Da!”

Lin Da grabbed Hulus’s white hair and yanked him out of the passage like pulling up a radish.

Seeing this repulsive old man who kept summoning skeleton soldiers, struggling in terror in his hands, Lin Da felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

Before Hulus could respond, he roared, “Lao Deng, how dare you ignore me, you deserve a beating!”

Thud, thud, thud!

Lin Da’s fists, like raindrops, pounded on Hulus, making him howl in pain, blood spraying from his nose, mouth, and eyes, half of his internal organs shattered by Lin Da’s blows!

But Lin Da was kind-hearted.

Just as Hulus was near death, he cast a Primary Healing Spell and then continued to beat him.
