After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply-Chapter 714 - 499, Quirky Pet, Open Treasure Chest_2

Chapter 714: 499, Quirky Pet, Open Treasure Chest_2

Then Lin Da ordered Habi to do push-ups, but it seemed like the little one didn’t understand. It stared at him with a blank expression, looking adorably dazed.

As the team members approached Habi, the little one bared its teeth and clenched its golden fists aggressively. It seemed to regard everyone except Lin Da as enemies.

Anna smiled cheerfully and said, “Congratulations, Captain! You’ve acquired a serpent pet! When Habi grows up, she’ll surely become a beauty. Looks like our captain’s got himself some entertainment.”

“Don’t joke around! Habi is still just a child!” Lin Da shot Anna a glare.

Anna stuck out her tongue and hid behind Tasya, “Well, not necessarily. If you look at her age, she’s actually older than all of us.”

A little girl in deep sleep within the ancient city, her history traced back thousands of years.

Lin Da thought to himself that until he figured out Habi’s origins, he must stay cautious. Cute as she may seem now, there’s no guarantee she wouldn’t grow into a serpent monster capable of swallowing him whole.

That stone coffin, and the golden lock hanging around Habi’s neck, needed to be taken out for historians to examine.

“The interior of the ancient city is too dangerous. Let’s head out for now.”

Holding Habi in his arms, Lin Da headed toward the treasure chest behind the stone coffin.

This was the true reward of the Aweis ancient city.

The treasure chest was two meters long, one meter wide, entirely golden, and adorned with ancient serpent patterns.

The most shocking detail was the chest being made entirely of purple gold, worth no less than 10,000 Purple Gold Coins!

Epic Five-Star Moon-Tier equipment typically ranged between 1,500 to 2,000 coins.

In other words, this chest alone made the trip worthwhile.

“Ahhhhhhhhh~~”

As Lin Da’s group was about to open the chest, sudden cries from above spread from far to near.

They abruptly realized—the ceiling was hollow!

Thud!

A stone slab flipped, and five Beastmen tumbled out from the dark passage above.

Apparently, there was more than one passage leading to this deepest part, and the Aweis Badge had merely chosen the closest route for Lin Da.

At this rate, more and more adventure teams—including Demons—would arrive at this stone hall!

Lin Da was alarmed. If he hesitated even a bit longer, the place could become overcrowded.

He coldly eyed the Beastmen sprawled on the ground.

At the bottom of the pile was a familiar black-haired backside, pants strikingly recognizable.

Who else but Bear Ji!

Lin Da smirked. Back outside the ancient city, he’d wanted to deal with Bear Ji but hadn’t found the chance. Now the guy had conveniently delivered himself to him.

The Bear Roar group originally entered with ten members; now, barely five remained.

Lin Da signaled his team with a look, and everyone immediately got into formation. Monica and Tasya stood at the rear, weapons aimed squarely at the pile of Beastmen. Kafni activated the skill [Concealment], disappearing from view even to Lin Da himself.

Taige and Mingli assumed a surrounding posture, while Anna raised her large shield, ready to deliver a Taunt at any moment.

“Pain! Pain, pain, pain… Where are we? The venomous insects… Are we still alive?”

Bear Ji pushed aside his teammates and stood up with a look of delight.

Just as he began his ecstatic celebration of surviving near-death, he caught sight of Lin Da’s half-smiling face.

In the distance were a fully charged Magic Wand and a towering Magic Cannon.

The dark mouth of the cannon was pointed straight at Bear Ji’s head.

His round bear ears instantly drooped.

The other four members of Bear Roar sensed the disaster before them and huddled together, trembling.

“Lin Da, I finally found you!”

Bear Ji’s expression shifted rapidly before settling on excitement: “Listen, those damn demons are after you—specifically, a woman called Lady Bai Mian!

She told me to signal her with this short flute once I discovered your whereabouts.

But come on, who do you take Bear Ji for? I’d never betray a fellow adventurer!”

“Damn right I wouldn’t!”

Bear Ji pulled out a black flute and angrily smashed it to the ground.

“Lady Bai Mian’s inside the ancient city too?” Lin Da was a bit surprised.

He’d been hearing of this woman for a long time.

The Monster Tide in White Dove City, Hulus’ direct supervisor, seducing Augutuo to betray his allies… All tied to Lady Bai Mian.

He was eager to meet her.

If the opportunity arose, he planned to claim her head along with everything else.

Lin Da sneered inwardly. Even if Lady Bai Mian reached a sky-high Level 49, his +27 Serpent Shadow Patterned Sword was no joke.

“Yes, yes, she’s definitely here! And Lin Da, there’s more I want to say.”

“About my brother’s matter—I truly owe you an apology. Over these past few days, I’ve come to understand. Bear Xiong attacked you first, yet you spared his life. For that, I should be thanking you. Without you, I wouldn’t even know how to educate my idiot brother.”

“And Hu Er’s incident—there wasn’t any real evidence. We just acted arrogantly, relying on our veteran adventurer status to look down on you. These mistakes were products of my overconfidence and self-importance.”

Bear Ji’s eyes were sincere as he added, “Can you forgive me? Let’s be friends from now on and fight side by side!”

This bear-headed person’s gaze was clear, strikingly genuine as he lamented his brother Bear Xiong’s actions with frustration, regretting his hunt for Lin Da with visible anguish.

Finally, Bear Ji bent deeply: “Please give me a chance to start anew!”

Lin Da stood expressionless, coldly observing Bear Ji’s performance.

Back outside the ancient city, the sinister glint in Bear Ji’s eyes had shown no trace of remorse.

What Bear Ji regretted was losing five companions, only to end up surrounded by Phoenix Tail Flowers!

“Take him down.”

Lin Da surged forward abruptly, his longsword driving straight toward Bear Ji’s head!

“Aaaahhh! Damn it, you heartless bastard! After all my begging, you still won’t fall for my trap!”

Bear Ji raged like a scheming black bear from ancient tales, furious after being outsmarted by the forewarned woodcutter. His bulging eyes and wide mouth transformed him into a malevolent beast lunging at Lin Da.

Ultimate Skill: Black Bear Grapple!

“Wahahaha, hehe hehehe.”

At this tense moment, the little girl in Lin Da’s arms, Habi, clapped her hands and laughed, finding it wildly entertaining.

Judging by this behavior, the little one could well grow into a battle maniac.

Shaking his head helplessly, Lin Da protected Habi with his left arm while sidestepping Bear Ji’s attack, retaliating with a swift strike.

Bear Ji’s arms were thick and protected by magical equipment known as [Arm Rings], which enhanced strength while offering defense.

Yet the Serpent Shadow Patterned Sword slid smoothly through, slicing the prized limbs cleanly off Bear Ji’s shoulders.

The cuts were precise, exposing muscle tissue and bone structure in stark detail.

Its sharpness was undeniable; Bear Ji felt no pain until the dismembered arms landed before him and blood fountains erupted from his shoulders. Only then did he gape in horror.

“My arms… MY ARMS!!!”

Bear Ji’s mind shattered as he realized his Epic Four-Star Arm Rings couldn’t withstand Lin Da’s sword.

Sweating profusely, he clutched his severed limbs in his teeth and leapt toward the ceiling’s rotating stone panel.

The venomous insects in the passage were terrifying, but compared to Lin Da, they were as sweet and harmless as bunny girls stripped of their clothes!

The remaining members of Bear Roar weren’t so lucky, laid bare before the Phoenix Tail Flowers without the cover of a Heavy Armored Warrior.

Monica crushed the Birdman Mage with one use of [Rock Fall].

Tasya’s magic cannon obliterated another, while Taige landed two brutal punches to finish another, and Mingli snickered maliciously as she severed one bear-man’s lower body with a massive pair of shears.

Every move was ruthless, dripping with villainous intent.

Bear Ji couldn’t escape either, as Lin Da caught him with a throw of the Dark Whip, dragging him back.

“Spare me! Please don’t kill me! I can help you contact Lady Bai Mian and report false information about your location!… Ah!”

A flash of sword light followed.

Bear Ji’s throat erupted in a gruesome gush of blood, as the vitality in his eyes swiftly faded.

Lin Da struck twice more to ensure Bear Ji’s demise, finally resting assured.

No time to waste—they had to open the treasure chest and leave the ancient city quickly.

Lin Da hurried to the chest and pushed open its lid.

This was the prize he’d come for.

It would surely boost a level or two, hopefully even drop something in the Legendary tier.

Excitement burned in Lin Da’s eyes.

Shhhhk!

A dazzling light burst forth from the chest.

Inside was an abundance of Purple Gold Coins.

Amidst the coins were countless magical equipment and items scattered about.

Just the eight pieces of deep-purple gear alone—all were Epic Five-Star quality!

This was so remarkable that none of Lin Da’s party members even spared a glance at the Epic equipment.

At the center of the chest, a thick pillar of radiant golden light rose!

The magical energy surged like searing flames, causing everyone’s faces to burn painfully and their eyes to instinctively squint.

“Legendary Level? And not just one item!”

Lin Da’s heart pounded, his breath caught in suspense.
