After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

At this rate, you will only lose more horribly.

No one cares about you anymore.

Aiko sighed.

At her and Lin Da's wedding in the future,

she should give Lia a few more wedding candies.

Otherwise, Lia is really too miserable.

"Come here, let me give you a hug."

"Ah, what are you doing—let go of me!"

...

World Tree Secret Realm, thirteenth floor, Mist Barrier Forest.

In the thick fog where you couldn't see your fingers, the members of the Ice Flower Adventure Team entirely relied on "smell" to determine the direction of the magical creatures.

"Ice Blade Waltz!"

Isa, like a dancer gliding on ice, sent blades of ice filled with lethal intent towards the front.

The thick fog momentarily parted, revealing a three-meter-tall Treant composed of dead wood.

Secret Realm Guardian, Indestructible Tree Demon.

Level 27, 100,000 health points.

Following Lin Da's instructions, Ice Flower's members splashed a highly pungent liquid on the Indestructible Tree Demon to determine the monster's position.

After five minutes of intense battle, a very eerie scream emitted from the hollow of the Indestructible Tree Demon's tree trunk. Its wooden body instantly regained vitality, sprouting fresh branches and leaves—

At Ice Flower's villa, Lin Da sat in front of a small broadcast screen, intently staring at the footage.

When the scream sounded, he immediately realized: It was the second phase.

When the Indestructible Tree Demon's health dropped below 50,000, it would wildly grow new branches and leaves until its health recovered to 70,000 before stopping.

The adventurers had to deplete the Indestructible Tree Demon's health within one minute; otherwise, the creature would repeatedly regain health... with a maximum regeneration count of 15!

Ninety-nine percent of adventure teams would be drained by the Indestructible Tree Demon and perish in the Mist Barrier Forest.

"Now is the time!"

"Bard and Scholar, use your level 20 ultimate skills, Isa and the other teammates, also get ready, don't hold back, attack the creature with all your might!"

Lin Da's Golden Advice was sent to the sensor ladybug in a pouch on Isa's thigh.

"Go!"

Isa shouted.

The team's two support professionals, the Bard holding a harp, sang like a nightingale:

"Great God of the Forest, please lend me your strength, play the song of agility and ferocity~!"

The Scholar girl waved her magic wand, and a red light fell on Isa: "Battle Fury!"

These two level 20 ultimate skills were powerful support skills. Stacked together, they significantly improved the output ability of the Ice Flower team members by at least thirty percent.

The team swarmed up, attacking the Indestructible Tree Demon.

Isa took the lead, her rapier like an arrow tearing through space, accurately stabbing the Indestructible Tree Demon's eye!

On the screen, a series of damage numbers jumped out.

Just as Lin Da had calculated, with Ice Flower's output capacity, it was more than enough to deplete all the health of the Indestructible Tree Demon in one minute.

The Tree Demon fell with a thunderous crash, its body transformed into orbs of light, shooting towards the members of Ice Flower.

Upon clearing the thirteenth floor, Ice Flower received a Divine Gift from the World Tree Goddess, with all team members leveling up!

The largest orb of light burst open in a shower of Gold Coins, containing seven streaks of blue light and three streaks of purple light.

Lin Da thought, Ice Flower was quite lucky.

Even at a 'Five-star' clearance, to explode three pieces of Purple Gear—he considered that any other adventure team would be lucky to get two.

He again sent a suggestion: [The Indestructible Tree Demon will leave behind a green leaf, that leaf will guide you to find the Metal Slime.]

"Is this it?"

In Mist Barrier Forest, Isa and her teammates, immersed in the excitement of acquiring several pieces of Purple Gear, remembered the greatest loot upon seeing this suggestion.

Under Lin Da's command, the group returned to the center of Mist Barrier Forest, following the leaf's direction, and successfully opened a dead-end tree wall.

Behind the tree wall on the clearing, a bucket-sized Metal Slime was sound asleep!

With the appearance of this rare magical beast, suggestions instantly flooded the communication.

Watching Ice Flower's live action were not only Lin Da but also people from Inner City District and Sparrow District in the Adventurer's Guild Hall.

[The thirteenth floor really has a Metal Slime!]

[Ah...my squad just passed the thirteenth floor not long ago.]

[Maybe it could drop Orange Gear.]

The Metal Destroyer Potion was consumed by an Archer of Ice Flower who directly unleashed the ultimate skill 'Barrage of Arrows', striking the Metal Slime more than twenty times in an instant.

In Lin Da's view, a sea of -1s.

In one second, before the Metal Slime even had a chance to react, it exploded into a burst of light.

Among that burst of light, there were unmistakably two pieces of gear shining with an orange glow!

Isa glanced at them and quickly made a decision: she would keep the long sword for herself, and the other piece, an Earth Attribute accessory only requiring level 20 to wear, along with the Metal Slime's Demon Core, she would give to Lin Da.

When she voiced her thoughts, she encountered opposition from her teammates,

"Captain, isn't this a bit too much?"

The team's leader, the green bob-haired Fannis wearing large glasses looked somewhat reluctant.

A level 20 Orange Equipment starts from 100,000 Gold Coins.

Ice Flower had already spent 100,000 Gold Coin on the Metal Destroyer, and now to give this accessory to Lin Da... Fannis was reluctant.

Isa knocked Fannis on the head: "The hidden magical beast allowed all of us to level up by 1; even if we gave all the equipment to Lin Da, Ice Flower still got the better deal."

"Besides... there's still an Orange long sword."

Isa felt the power within the long sword, a trace of joy appeared on her serious face.

This weapon was at least thirty percent stronger than the one she was currently using.

"Ow..." Fannis covered her head, a bit jealously saying, "I think you, Captain, could even give away yourself, so of course, you wouldn't care about one piece of Orange Gear."
