After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Lia and Aiko, both were Star Rank.

Lin Da also crushed that Level 28 Grek, avenging Minnie's adventure team.

What was left of the Flame Adventure Team was just their captain, Dennis.

"Damn it, damn it all!"

Dennis, his face flushed with blood, brandished his spear, his upper garment scorched by flames, nearly in a state of collapse.

Up against Lia, who had just reached Level 30, Dennis felt an immense pressure, knowing a single misstep could result in being struck down by the great sword in her hands.

"Is it okay not to intervene?" asked Lulu, feeling idle and walking over to Lin Da.

"With Lia's temperament, she'd probably complain if we helped without asking," Lin Da shrugged his shoulders, "Wait and see."

Both of them turned their attention to the fight.

Lia was only Level 30, but her combat talent was evidently superior to Dennis's, moving like a nimble hummingbird. No matter how fierce Dennis's spear attack was, Lia always managed to narrowly evade it and then counterattack with a sword strike.

Including the fallen members of the Flame Adventure Team, everyone soon realized the fact that if Lia's level were equal to Dennis's, the one to be defeated would certainly be him.

But the current situation was in Dennis's favor.

Lia, newly at Level 30, had yet to fully adapt to this newfound strength, and all her equipment was still below Level 30, with no gold coins to exchange for better gear.

Even if she was far more skilled in combat than Dennis, her ability points lagged behind considerably.

"Piercing Strike!"

After taking a dozen hits, Dennis finally found a slim opportunity.

His spear, swirling with spiral airflow, thudded against the Life Barrier in front of Lia's chest.

Lia reacted quickly, concentrating her Battle Qi to a point to resist the strike.

If she had been completely off guard, the Battle Qi evenly scattered across the Life Barrier would have made it not hard enough; like a coat of glue, it would have allowed Dennis's spear to penetrate into her body.

If severe, it could even lead to her being skewered through.

Even at Star Rank, sparring carried great risks.

However, Lia's response was extremely clever, allowing the rest of the Life Barrier to soften while concentrating Battle Qi at the point of Dennis's attack, turning that part of the barrier as hard as iron.

With a loud thud, Lia was sent flying backward, adjusting her posture mid-air, and landed steadily on the ground.

Although her face was somewhat pale, she was virtually unharmed, and Lin Da only saw a -500 appear above Lia's head.

As a semi-tank Great Swordsman, Lia's health points started from a minimum of 6000. Entering Star Rank and after swapping to a full set of Level 30 equipment, it could probably approach 10000.

"I could have dodged it, a mistake," Lia stomped her foot in annoyance, still reflecting on the fight just now.

Not far away, Dennis, spear in hand, panting heavily, saw that all the members of the Flame Adventure Team had been defeated, disbelief flooding his eyes.

[What's going on, those two from White Dove City, Lia and Aiko, both are Star Rank?]

[Their strength is a bit exaggerated, it feels like Captain Dennis will lose!]

[Are those two adventure teams really Rock-level?]

In the Adventurers' Guild in Red Heart City, a wave of heated discussion erupted in the hall.

Meanwhile, on site.

Minnie rushed over to Lin Da's side, supporting her injured Baldy team member, the two of them bowing solemnly:

"Captain Lin Da, thank you. Otherwise, the resources of our adventure team would definitely have been taken by Dennis!"

"Uniting against a common foe is only natural." Lin Da helped Minnie up, then turned his cold gaze towards Dennis, leaning on his spear and gasping for breath, "Hand over the resources, I don't want to ask a second time."

"Tch."

Dennis was full of reluctance, but Lulu's icy stare stayed fixed on his throat, sending chills down his spine. The werewolf with light blue hair imposed an even greater threat to Dennis than Lia!

Dennis glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw, besides Lia and the werewolf, there was also a grinning blonde Mage...

Two Rock-level Squads, but with three Star Rank members, was unheard of for Dennis!

He looked at the silver Material Bracelet on his right wrist, regretting so deeply he could spit blood.

Losing resources was one thing, but losing face was something Dennis found even harder to accept.

It had always been Red Heart City robbing the adventure teams of White Dove City, where had it ever been reversed? If he had run into the White Dove Adventure Group, Dennis could have accepted the defeat, as their strength was plainly apparent.

But it was two Rock-level teams.

Those newspapers that loved to sensationalize stories and attract the eyes of adventurers would surely make a big deal of the two teams' levels, portraying the Flame Adventure Team as the laughingstock of the year!

"It seems you don't want to hand over the resources," Lin Da sighed helplessly, "Lulu, go beat him until he can't move, then we'll take the Material Bracelet ourselves."

"Hey, wait, I'll give it, okay?!"

Dennis was sweating profusely in urgency as he saw Lulu don her Verdant Shield, with support from Aiko's Light Arrow Technique coming from behind, and a gust of cold wind as she charged over.

"Cage of Light!"

Aiko aimed at the continuously dodging Dennis, rapidly chanting the spell.

A square cage made of golden bars descended from the sky, trapping Dennis upside down inside.

It then swiftly cinched tight, immobilizing Dennis on the spot.

"Wait a second, I said wait!" Dennis cried out in panic.

He looked up, only to see Lulu blocking the sun as she leapt up, the shining claws of the beast sending a chill through him as if in the depths of winter.

A chill crept up Dennis's spine and slowly entered his brain, his eyes gradually widening as an increasing sense of helplessness filled his body.

The speed of this werewolf was too fast, faster even than him, a Level 33 Spearman!
