After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply-Chapter 634 - : 458, South Rock City Third Union Council, Lin Da enters the field_2
Chapter 634: 458, South Rock City Third Union Council, Lin Da enters the field_2
No matter how frantically she tried, she couldn’t budge an inch.
Following that, the person behind her embraced her and attempted to commit an “outrageous” act!
Aiko’s eyes flashed with murderous intent as she quickly chanted the “Holy Spear Array” spell.
The next moment, the attacker suddenly exerted force, and the two of them rolled off the horse onto the ground.
Fortunately, both were adventurers, and falling from the horse didn’t cause any injuries.
Aiko, pinned underneath, gnashed her teeth in rage.
If she had a chance to unleash her magic, she’d surely turn the other party into a sieve!
Slap~!
Suddenly, a crisp sound followed by a burning pain on her behind travelled to Aiko’s ears and brain.
“Liar Aiko, let’s see how I punish you!”
The familiar voice, tinged with a touch of playfulness, spoke leisurely from behind her.
Aiko froze for a second and then realized who the detestable attacker was. She immediately felt a mix of shame and rage, and fiercely twisted the thigh of her attacker:
“You don’t punish your lovely teammates first, but choose to punish an outsider. Worthy indeed of being the captain of the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team, such excellent time management.”
The “Adventurer Hunter” who had swooped down from the sky was none other than Lin Da.
The heavy dose of sarcasm left Lin Da somewhat speechless.
Objectively speaking, while he was comprehending the Buti Tree with Lulu holding hands, he gave the Legendary Equipment to Lia and Isa had a slot with the Buti Tree as well.
“Cough cough cough, let’s not talk about that, let’s talk about a certain big liar who’s hiding something again.”
Lin Da stood up, holding Aiko in his arms, and with a smile said, “Otherwise, I, this Moon Rank robber, will have to viciously attack a passing girl.”
“Hmph, I’m not afraid of you,” Aiko rolled her eyes and her proud figure trembled lightly, like a lotus leaf under a torrential rain, making one want to form an umbrella with their hands to protect her.
Lin Da’s eyes glazed over, the impact greater than being slapped by a Flame Giant Spirit.
Seeing the playful smile on Aiko’s lips, Lin Da cleared his throat and said, “No joke, what happened exactly? A minor issue worth rushing back to South Rock City in the middle of the night?”
The awkward matter would have to wait, he was there for business.
Under Lin Da’s piercing gaze, Aiko felt a twinge of guilt, shrank her head a little, and stammered out the whole story.
…
“Rocher was seriously injured in the 20th layer of the Great Mystery Continent? The Holy Rock Adventure Team might be targeted by the other two major forces?”
Lin Da stroked his chin, his expression grave.
He knew the other two major forces were the Lorrace-led Zijing Stone Family and Bear Ji’s Bear Roar Adventure Group.
The former was manageable as Phoenix Tail Flower had little contact with them.
But the Bear Roar Adventure Group…
Hu Er had indirectly died at the hands of Lin Da and others.
Since coming out of the 10th layer of the closed Mystic Realm, Lin Da had been keeping an eye on this adventure team.
Bear Ji’s race was the black bear, a type of wild animal with a heavy sense of revenge even before civilization, it’s said that a chimpanzee who had raised a black bear for two and a half years, upon releasing it back into the wild, the black bear freed from the cage immediately lunged and bit the driving chimpanzee.
Similar incidents, Lin Da had seen in his original world as well. The seemingly simple black bear harbored a deceitful and extremely vindictive heart.
Several months since Hu Er’s death, Bear Ji was still collecting information on the cause of Hu Er’s death.
Lin Da couldn’t be sure if they had any evidence.
“In this situation, the most sensible choice is to eliminate Bear Ji so no one will hold a grudge. I certainly don’t want to wake up one day to find a black bear munching on my head,” Lin Da thought to himself.
The Bear Roar Adventure Group was a hurdle that Phoenix Tail Flower would eventually have to face.
On the other hand, Rocher was seriously injured and “besieged” by the Bear Roar and Lorrace Family. In a sense, Rocher was Lin Da’s future father-in-law, and by both sentiment and reason, he planned to lend a hand.
Currently, as Phoenix Tail Flower had advanced to Sunrise Level, their status was not what it used to be. Even though the others were seasoned Sunrise Level, they could not ignore Lin Da’s will.
Youth was the shortcoming of the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team, but also their greatest strength.
“I’ll come with you.”
Without another word, Lin Da held Aiko tightly and unfolded his Black Eagle Wings, soaring into the sky.
Their speed increased several fold in a matter of breaths, far surpassing the Blackflame Horse.
The scenery in front appeared to rush backward, and Aiko, not used to flying, was so buffeted by the wind she could hardly breathe. Her pale arms wrapped around Lin Da’s waist, and her body pressed against his chest.
The summer night’s breeze was still hot, but what was hotter still were the two of them.
From the moment Lin Da appeared, the sour feeling in Aiko’s heart had dissipated. If Lin Da didn’t care at all, he wouldn’t have gone to the Snow Goose Villa to find her in the middle of the night, and then followed her all this way…
Compared to a certain red-haired dwarf who was sound asleep after getting drunk, she was far ahead!
Summer dryness made one inevitably thirsty during flight.
Lin Da held Aiko’s soft body, as they exchanged water sources with each other.
Above the blue sky, there was a unique flavor to the experience.
…
By noon the next day, when the sun was high, the scorching sunlight poured down on the earth.
Just when they were about to reach their limit in every sense of the word, at the horizon’s end, they spotted a city built of black rocks, like a giant fortress.
The grand main city gate featured three large characters carved out with swords, emitting a fierce aura.
South Rock City!
“We’ve finally arrived…”
Lin Da murmured, landing with Aiko and heading towards the special passage reserved for high-level adventurers.
At the main city gate, adventurers formed a line as long as a dragon.
Moving traders’ caravans were connected end to end, and it took a considerable amount of time just for the guards to inspect them.
The high-level passage, exclusive to adventurers above level 20, did not require an entry fee.
The number of people here was visibly fewer, just a scattered handful totaling seven.
One of them, an adventurer with a sword and a little beard, stole a glance at Lin Da and Aiko with the corner of his eye.
Lowering his voice, the little-bearded adventurer said to his companion, “Do those two look familiar?”
“Eh… Isn’t he the Ultimate Pervert?”
“And the one beside him, is that Holy Mage Aiko? She’s actually back in South Rock City!?”
“Tsk… Now is not a good time.”
A few whispered among themselves.
“Hello, can you explain what you mean by ‘not a good time’?”
Lin Da said with a faint smile, approaching the little-bearded adventurer.
“It’s nothing.” The little-bearded adventurer felt the astonishing magic power emanating from Lin Da and waved his hands in panic.
Shaking his head, Lin Da magically produced a purple gold coin from his ring and tossed it lightly, landing it perfectly in the little beard’s pocket.
“A Purple Gold Coin?” The little-bearded adventurer’s throat turned dry as he swallowed.
Lin Da: “Can you tell me now?”
“No problem, heh, heh heh heh.” With a change in attitude, the little beard rubbed his hands flatteringly, “Actually, today is South Rock City’s ‘Tri-Group Council Meeting’…”
Lin Da raised his eyebrows in curiosity.
Tri-Group Council Meeting?
…
…
South Rock City, Black Stone Street.

This was the busiest street in the city, with the Adventurers’ Guild, Elf Club, large commerce houses, top hotels, and much more… all located here.
Today, the hotel named Paradise Hometown was fully booked by a group of big shots.
Various luxury carriages were parked at the entrance, with Blackflame Horses valued at one hundred thousand Gold Coins relegated to munching grass by the roadside, and Blazing Rhinoceroses, Two-Headed Demon Hounds, and Gentle Breeze Horses, each worth a million Gold Coins, were commonplace.
Penniless adventurers held up Recording Stones to take pictures with these luxurious mounts to satisfy their vanity.
“Such a show of force, is it the city council members drinking boiled water that can be set on fire?” A dog-headed adventurer, carrying a backpack, passed by and remarked curiously.
“Hmph, those country bumpkins from Aoxia City just have no class.” The one speaking was a well-dressed pig-headed individual, handling a scepter.
He glanced at the adventurer’s badge on the dog-head’s chest, which had a shrimp on its base color, and knew the other was from Aoxia City, ranked at the bottom of over two hundred cities in Cangqing Province.
“What’s wrong with Aoxia City, ate your rice or what?” The dog-headed adventurer’s face reddened as he retorted without confidence.
“Poor country bumpkin, let Pig Grandpa tell you what’s going on.” The pig-headed man straightened his suit, looking triumphant as he pointed towards the luxurious carriages outside Paradise Hometown and said:
“This is our South Rock City’s ‘Tri-Group Council Meeting’, organized by Holy Rock, Zijing Stone, and Bear Roar Adventure Groups, three Sunrise Level groups, to discuss the future development policies of South Rock City!
Did you get that? Three groups, that’s three groups, okay?
A pathetic Aoxia City that doesn’t even have one Sunrise Level group!”
