After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

"If we met outside the Great Mystery Continent, I wouldn't mind sharing a drink with your adorable captain at the tavern. But since we're in a public Adventure Zone, if you don't surrender, I'll have to make your captain cry,"

Dennis said with a sneer as he rubbed his wrist and swung his spear, "Neither this Ginkgo tree nor your Material Bracelets are yours any longer—they're all property of my 'Flame Adventure Team'!"

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Seven members instantly surrounded Minnie and her team.

This Iron Level adventure team from Red Heart City might not have been the most experienced, but their members had still reached an average level of 28.

Captain Dennis was even stronger, at level 33, exerting a 'presence' that made it hard for Minnie and her group to breathe, their steps heavy, and their strength seemed to halve out of nowhere.

Minnie was about to cry from frustration, with tears rolling in her eyes like little pearls.

They had finally found a Ginkgo tree, and she had told her team they would have a feast tonight, even promising an extra 1000 Gold Coins to each of them. But just as they had approached, they were caught red-handed by the Flame Adventure Team.

Not only was there no hope for the Ginkgo tree, but they also had to hand over the materials that they had collected with so much difficulty.

Minnie gritted her teeth, gripping the white-speckled spear in her hand.

This was an orange-quality spear she had bought from Lin Da for 100,000 Gold Coins at her Phoenix Tail Flower promotion party.

Regrettably, the spear did not give Minnie the courage she needed.

She weakly glanced at the burly members of the Flame Adventure Team.

Compared to her, a regular Spearman at level 25, even the weakest member of the Flame Adventure Team was level 28; the power discrepancy between the two teams was too great.

Just Dennis alone could sweep through them all; there was no chance for a fight.

Minnie's face turned bitter. She looked up at the sensor ladybug flying above and complained:

"This Dennis is so shameless. I'm the one who found the Ginkgo tree. He won't let me have even one fruit, and now he wants to steal my Material Bracelet too! What a shrimp-head man with his brain full of crap! Everyone, curse him with me!"

Unable to confront the reality, Minnie had to take out her frustration on the magic screen.

Meanwhile, Dennis seemed unconcerned, leaning on his spear, picking his ears and his nose, apparently with as much filth in his head as Minnie had said.

His arrogant demeanor, completely disregarding Minnie, was captured perfectly by the sensor ladybug.

His big face appeared on the magic screen, with each nose hair clearly countable.

As Dennis picked and prodded, a black ball was removed from his nostril, emanating a salty scent as if it reached everyone's mouth through the screen.

Dennis rolled it between his fingers and then flicked it lightly, hitting the sensor ladybug on the head.

Its head served as the 'camera' for this magical creature. In the hall, adventurers from White Dove City could only see a large black mass smeared across the screen. Some who were drinking juice turned pale and vomited on the spot.

The actions of this Star Rank adventurer from Red Heart City immediately caused outrage.

[I know Dennis. He often comes to steal White Dove City's resources. Last month in the tenth level of the Mystic Realm, the Valiant Adventure Team was robbed by them, and Robert, their captain, was beaten bloody and bedridden for days!]

[The Flame Adventure Team, a habitual offender. They don't collect any resources themselves and just rob others.]

[Disgusting shrimp-head man!]

[If only the White Dove Adventure Group were here.]

[The public area is too large. Even with the White Dove Adventure Group, can they really protect everyone? Spirits, Bedrock, and the adventurers from Red Heart City are all in cahoots. If only they didn't help Red Heart City rob us. The only ones who can really help are White Dove.]

[Hey, everyone, look! Isn't there someone behind Captain Minnie? Has another adventure team arrived?]

It seems the Ginkgo tree had attracted not only the Flame and Slay the Evil Dragon Adventure Teams.

Seeing this suggestion, Minnie stealthily glanced behind her and indeed spotted figure approaching.

This glimpse brought a surge of joy to Minnie. While White Dove City had many invaders from other cities, the majority were still locals.

In the Great Mystery Continent, standing together against external enemies was an unwritten rule among adventurers.

However, Minnie's elation lasted only a moment.

She immediately remembered that, apart from the White Dove Adventure Group and Ice Flower, who had just advanced to Iron Level yesterday, there seemed to be no one who could defeat the Flame Adventure Team.

The approaching team was in danger of falling into a trap, possibly dooming themselves because of her.

'I need to warn them; it's dangerous here!'

Minnie nervously reached with her right hand toward the pocket of her jacket, where she kept a scroll capable of launching a signal flare.

"What are you reaching for, hands up!"

Dennis was waiting for the approaching adventure team to walk into his trap. Seeing Minnie's move toward the magic scroll, his face changed instantly, and he smashed the butt of his spear onto Minnie's right hand.

With a crack, Minnie's wrist, caught off guard, was broken, causing her to furrow her brows with pain as tears rolled out of her eyes.

"How dare you! You rob us and now you hit our captain, let's fight them!"

"Ouch."

"It hurts, stop hitting!"

A bald, burly teammate who admired Minnie raged, but within three seconds, was begging for mercy as he was beaten by members of the Flame Adventure Team.

"Playing the hero, are you? Look at what a mess you are,"

A blond Little Beard scornfully kicked the former in the stomach.

[This is too much. It's one thing for the Flame Adventure Team to beat the bald guy, but how could they hit Captain Minnie!]

[Damn it, isn't there anyone who can discipline Dennis?]

[Brothers, good news. I came running over from hall number 6 to inform you that the adventure team coming here is Phoenix Tail Flower and Snow Goose!]
