After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Chapter 673: 478, Sweeping through 20 floors, two new team members

The moonlight was cold and clear, with not a cloud in sight.

Above the Ten Thousand Mountains, a dark figure darted across the sky.

The person in the air obviously noticed the adventurers below, trembling, even to the point of wetting themselves in fright.

He silently apologized in his mind.

Time was of the essence, and Lin Da didn’t have time to explain much.

The duration of the Shadow of Darkness Experience Card was not long; he had to make every second count.

But on second thought, the duration seemed to extend according to his level. When he used it at Star Rank, it only lasted three minutes. Now that he had advanced to Moon Rank, three minutes had passed, but Lin Da still hadn’t felt the “energy light on his chest flicker and turn red.”

He could hold on for another ten minutes or so with no problems.

“Spear of Destruction, go!”

Sensing the presence of a demon behind a large tree, Lin Da casually waved his hand.

A palm-sized array appeared, revealing a long black spear that burst forth.

In an instant, the large tree was shattered and a scream rang out.

The residual magic power, carrying the short horn on the demon’s head, returned to Lin Da’s side.

Lin Da did not stop, but flew straight ahead.

As long as he sensed the presence of demons, he would launch a Spear of Destruction.

Under the terrifying magic power of the Ultimate Light Tier, the demons targeted by Lin Da, whether they were level 40 or 49, met the same fate.

The sack on his back was stained red with blood.

Inside were densely packed demonic horns.

After killing Difeng and others, Lin Da had obtained 243 demonic horns. With his new gains, the number was close to 400.

Normally, he wouldn’t have been able to gather this many in a year!

A smile formed on Lin Da’s lips, knowing that without several large rocks to weigh it down, it simply wouldn’t stay put.

To him, this was a sack full of Enhancement Stones.

“Aside from enhancing equipment, the squad level also needs to be raised.”

Item-class blessings could be directly given to equipment.

If there were enough demonic horns, even wishing for a full set of Legendary gear wouldn’t be a problem.

It would be great if he could fill this sack.”

But 400 is hardly enough!”

Lin Da walked around Ninefold Mountain for a whole minute, and didn’t encounter any new demons.

It seemed this area was wiped out.

“For the remaining time, I must slay magical creatures!”

Adhering to a proximity principle, Lin Da flew up a high mountain and locked onto the magical creature boss above.

All the magical creatures in Ninefold Mountain were of the Epic Five-star, some reaching Legendary with extremely terrifying health points.

The mountain Lin Da ascended harbored a magical creature boss that was a Red Dragon, Legendary Two-Stars.

The Red Dragon was twenty meters long with dark-gold vertical pupils that emitted endless majesty, wings unfolded, stirring gusts of wind.

The trees on the mountain uprooted themselves, flying into the sky like sheets of paper.

Ordinarily, such a magical creature would have required several experienced Sunrise Level teams to hunt together!

“Roar—”

The Red Dragon let out a thunderous roar, intending to frighten off the adventurer before it with its imposing presence.

Lin Da, pockets of his trench coat filled, his coat fluttering as if unaffected by the Red Dragon’s menace, calmly crushed the dry leaves under his boots as he walked towards the Red Dragon.

In the eyes of this colossal beast, however, a trace of fear was apparent; it hugged its head, whimpering as it retreated.

Even the trial creatures created by the Goddess possessed a certain level of intelligence.

In the perception of the Red Dragon, this person was a Sword Mountain ablaze with destructive flames, his own power laughably insignificant in comparison.

“Destructive Dark Flame.”

Lin Da snapped his fingers, and a Fireball sprang into existence out of thin air.

With a gentle push, the Fireball flew towards the Red Dragon.

The Fireball moved incredibly slowly, yet the Red Dragon, as if petrified, stood frozen, allowing the Fireball to draw near.

The moment of contact, the Fireball exploded with a boom, and a surging sea of flames burst forth, engulfing the Red Dragon in a few breaths.

Amidst wails, the Red Dragon turned into a pile of ashes.

A Legendary Two-Stars magical creature that normally required several adventure teams to hunt was unable to withstand even a single attack.

Lin Da found it absurd himself.

Magical creatures were tough and resilient, killing a Legendary Two-Stars Red Dragon instantly was something that ninety percent of those at the Light Rank couldn’t achieve.

It just went to show how overpowered the Shadow of Darkness was.

His gear and skills were all top-tier on the continent.

Using the account he personally created to grind mobs, Lin Da felt a strong sense of pride.

Those grueling days had not been in vain.

Of course, he also harbored some worries about the future.

Surpassing the “Shadow of Darkness” was indeed no small feat.

He had to scour the continent for the strongest Skill Books and top-tier equipment to have a chance of becoming stronger than the Shadow of Darkness.

“But today, let me make good use of you.”

Lin Da swept his hand, collecting the battle loot dropped by the Red Dragon into the Space Ring.

Rushing to the next mountain, he didn’t thoroughly examine them. He only glimpsed among the loot pile two pieces of equipment glowing with deep purple and one brilliantly golden.

Legendary Equipment!

Lin Da was thrilled.

The chance of a Legendary Two-Stars magical creature dropping Legendary Equipment was 2%.

His luck was indeed good.

…

Lin Da hurried to the next mountain without stopping.

What appeared before him was a giant blue Slime wearing a crown, its chubby body incredibly cute, trembling like jelly in its extreme fear.

This Slime couldn’t fathom how such a high-tier adventurer had shown up in the 20th floor of the Great Mystery Continent.

“Another Legendary ranked magical creature, typical of Ninefold Mountain. It’s rare to find even one outside; here they are everywhere.”

Pleased with what he saw, Lin Da thought, “Slime King, one of the most troublesome Legendary Three-Stars magical creatures, low in attack but possessing terrifying regenerative powers. If adventurers can’t kill it within a certain time, the Slime King will continuously regain health, literally draining adventurers to death.”
