After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

"Fuck, that kid is done for."

When the insignificant human charged at the massive crab, it was like a mayfly shaking a tree.

Mos could tell at a glance that the human in front of him was merely a swordsman.

A swordsman's physique might be tougher than a mage's, but not by much.

Among the various professions, it was a slightly above average standard.

Their Giant Rhino Adventure Team's heavy armored warrior had been snipped away by this black crab in one pinch.

How could this human, whose level was even lower than their heavy armored warrior, possibly withstand the attack of a magical creature?

However,

The next moment, Mos's train of thought paused.

Azure sword light flickered in the air.

The human 'swordsman' unleashed a Cross Slash.

A horizontal cut severed the oncoming claw pincers into two pieces.

A vertical cut chopped off the other large claw.

Then with a kick, he flipped over the Black Armored Giant Crab that was five meters long and weighed over a ton.

The monster lay with its white belly facing upward.

The remaining eight legs struggled a few times and then curled up quickly like dead seafood.

"Hmm... this must be a juvenile creature."

"Otherwise, how could it have died like an oversized small fry?"

Mos desperately tried to reassure himself.

The scene before him was too shocking.

Their captain Lai Xi's Ultimate Skill, the Fire Tornado, hadn't even hurt the Black Shell Crab General.

But this human killed it with two slashes?

Water System Swordsman?

Elemental advantage over the black crabs?

Yes, that must be it!

It wasn't that the Giant Rhino Adventure Team was weak.

It was just that this kid had an attribute advantage!

Mos felt these excuses were like a rickety tower of building blocks, ready to collapse at the slightest breeze.

But he had to convince himself.

He would never admit that the Giant Rhino Adventure Team was inferior to this Apprentice Level human team!

Mos forced a dry laugh as he approached, his heart unconvinced, yet his body already submitting. Recalling his action of shooting crossbow bolts as a warning, his legs turned weak; he had unknowingly skirted the edge of the Gate of Hell.

To show that he meant no harm and would not attempt to steal the Phoenix Tail Flower's spoils, the Hound Man raised his hands and slowly moved closer:

"Um... may I say something?"

The three members of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team were in the midst of their excitement, completely ignoring Mos.

Mos felt quite awkward, but he couldn't say much since he was the one asking for a favor.

Kafni hopped onto the corpse of the Black Shell Crab General and started to extract the Demon Core with her dagger.

Multiple encounters with magical creatures had turned Kafni from a novice to an extremely skilled master.

With her keen sense of perception, she could easily locate the position of the Demon Core.

Otherwise, even a minor damage to the Demon Core would diminish its value.

Kafni could be called a master of loot collection.

Monica curiously squatted on the ground, prodding the sharp claw pincers with her small hand.

When a Leader Level creature of the region died, the most notable change was that the murderous crabs were thrown into disarray.

They dared not approach adventurers of higher level than themselves!

They no longer possessed the demeanor of zombies, recklessly fearless of death.

The instinct of beasts to seek fortune and avoid harm returned to these creatures.

Facing the mightier Phoenix Tail Flower Team, they felt fear, worried about getting hurt, and would turn tail and flee.

Lin Da did not pursue.

There were plenty of murderous crabs, too many to clear out.

His goal was to slay Leader Level magical creatures to lessen the burden on ordinary adventurers.

He then opened the system message to check briefly.

[Defeated a Level 20 Purple Rare Magical Creature, Black Shell Crab General, and obtained 15,000 Mystical Points (During the event, an additional 15,000 points were awarded)!]

Once again harvesting 30,000 points, even Lin Da, with his great composure, couldn't help but let his lips curl into a smile.

With a few more Black Shell Crab Generals slain, he could potentially level up three times.

If luck was on his side, even grazing the edge of Level 20 wasn't out of the question.

Lin Da closed the system interface and joined Kafni in dismembering the corpse of the Black Shell Crab General.

The most valuable parts of such a creature were four in number, each fetching a handsome price.

They were:

The pincers, with every four capable of forging an orange 'Crab General' series weapon.

The carapace, used for crafting Purple Rare armors.

The four pairs of small legs, which were top-tier ingredients that had miraculous effects on enhancing an adventurer's strength.

And the crab roe, which could be used to brew strong liquor to improve the combat prowess of male adventurers.

Plus a deep blue Demon Core the size of a cantaloupe...

Lin Da waved his right hand, and his Space Ring released a mystical white light, enveloping and absorbing all the materials.

"What a great haul," Kafni clicked her tongue.

The one who was most delighted with the Space Ring was her; otherwise, that dreadful Lin Da would have definitely made her carry sacks.

Meanwhile, Lin Da calculated that these materials could sell for about 200,000 Gold Coins on the market.

Money, after all, is never unwelcome.

His goal was to equip all his team members with Orange Equipment and their main weapons with Epic Level gear.

A carriage also needed to be added to the shopping list.

Traveling on foot was slow, unable to compare with the speed of a magical beast-level warhorse.

'Speaking of which, the Giant Rhino Adventure Team from Red Heart City has already reached Breeze River Beach, so the Scarlet Adventure Group must be there as well,'

Lin Da mused.

Dawen of the Scarlet Adventure Group had detected the presence of mutated magical creatures at Qingfeng River Beach half a month ago.

Right now, Dawen was probably leading his team into battle somewhere.

After a bit of thought, it wasn't hard to guess that they'd be deep within Breeze River Beach.

Lin Da looked north with a hint of yearning and curiosity, towards the heart of the Monster Tide: a certain BOSS was waiting there.

But only adventure teams who reached Level 30 were qualified to challenge such a foe.

Upon reaching level 30, both equipment attributes and personal attributes would greatly increase, with a frontliner's health points over ten thousand as the baseline.

Only then could they withstand the attacks of that BOSS.

The Level 30 Rare Orange Magical Creature: Red Armored Crab King!

"Level 20 Black Crabs are too easy, but not being able to beat the Level 30 Crab King is frustrating,"

Lin Da muttered to himself.

Visualizing the fierce battles deep in the beach, his blood surged with excitement.

Eight out of ten times, both the White Dove Adventure Group and Scarlet Adventure Group would be there!

They were the targets that the Phoenix Tail Flower Team needed to surpass.

Lin Da thought that one day, Phoenix Tail Flower would outpace those adventure groups and even the former Primordial, once again standing at the pinnacle of the World Tree.

How would those grand scenes in the game physically manifest in Another World... Thinking of this, Lin Da felt waves of emotion that took a long while to subside.

"Um, could I have a word with you?"

Mos chuckled with a sly grin, rubbing his hands together and stooping, exuding a sense of low-grade sycophancy.

"You?"

Lin Da had noticed Mos quite a while ago.

His awkward expression was a dead giveaway that he needed a favor.

Beastmen as a race would only bow when they're underfoot.

Stand toe to toe with them and they're fiercely impudent.

Lin Da had a rough idea of what was happening.

And sure enough.

With an embarrassed laugh and scratching the back of his head, Mos said, "Brother, how about we cooperate?"

"Cooperate, what kind of cooperation?" Lin Da feigned ignorance.

"Well, that is... um... let's team up to take down the Black Armored Giant Crab," Mos stammered, looking distinctly uncomfortable.

"But your team can handle it by yourselves, can't you?" Lin Da remarked with a half-smile.
