After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Hiss.

The Minotaur was cleaved in two on the spot!

It was not until this moment that Lai Xi realized something was terribly wrong.

With only two front-liners in the Giant Rhino Adventure Team, and now just one left, they certainly couldn't withstand the frenzied attacks of the Magical Creatures.

Lai Xi immediately turned to Mos, "No good, we need to cooperate. We can't handle this creature on our own!"

"Give up half of the reward, hurry, that team hasn't gone far, get them to join forces!"

"What?"

Mos scratched his scalp, awkwardly doodling small western-style houses with his toes inside his shoes.

"Me, go and talk to them? Isn't that a bit... inappropriate?"

"Get moving!"

Lai Xi, annoyed, gave a hefty kick to Mos's rear.

You think I'll go, the team leader?

Anything can be lost,

but face cannot!

...

At this time, about a kilometer to the north of the Giant Rhino Adventure Team,

"Attention, it's entering the second phase, everyone back off!"

Lin Da's gaze was stern as he watched the Black Armored Crab General transform into something resembling a pair of scissors under the glow, its momentum soaring, and he loudly warned his teammates.

"Understood, Lord Captain!"

Monica carefully retreated about fifty meters away, chanting the Spell for Earth Bombardment from a distance.

Meanwhile, Lin Da, wielding the Azure Sword, took advantage of the Black Armored Crab General's 'Transformation', and delivered a Triple Strike with loud clangs.

The carapace of the Black Armored Crab General was covered with sword marks, looking like a sieve from being chopped so heavily.

When Lin Da attacked with the Azure Sword, the blade released a flow of luminescence, concentrating on the edge.

With each strike, the light turned into tiny hissing sawteeth, causing tremendous damage to the Murderous Crab's carapace.

As a result, Lin Da's Normal Attacks dealt almost as much damage as the insusceptible True Damage.

His Dual Attack was 863, with damage fluctuating between 840-863.

The Triple Strike inflicted about 2500 damage in total.

Lin Da was quite satisfied with it.

Of course, if he knew that Lai Xi's level 20 Ultimate Skill, Fire Tornado, only totaled 3500, he would have been even more pleased.

Wielding a Supreme Orange Weapon, Lin Da could slowly whittle down the Black Armored Crab General!

Boom, from behind.

A thick, brown column of light flew over his head and struck right in the center of the Black Armored Crab General's carapace, which was still mid-'Transformation'.

"Hiss! Hiss hiss!"

A bucket-sized hole was blasted through the carapace of the Black Armored Crab General, with white, transparent blood flowing out.

Alarmingly, a five-digit number, -10874, popped up above the creature's head.

A genuine cannon blast worth ten thousand!

If Monica were to disregard the consequences, she could eliminate the Black Armored Crab General in a minute.

But considering the heavy toll that Earth Bombardment took on the Magic Circuit, Lin Da asked Monica to use it only if it wouldn't affect her well-being.

He estimated the Magical Creature's remaining hit points in his mind: It would enter the second phase with 25000 hit points, and now the giant crab had only 13000 left.

"Venom Magic Sphere."

Lin Da first delivered a Triple Strike and then released a Spell with his left hand to fill the gap of the recovery period after the combo.

-963!

-945!

-960!

Although the carapace resisted the Venom Magic Sphere, it still managed to inflict around 950 damage each time.

A single Magic Sphere jumping six times roughly amounted to a total of around 6000 damage.

Lin Da threw another Venom Magic Sphere, stacking the poison damage to one layer, then he stepped aside, patiently waiting for the Black Armored Crab General to succumb to the poison.

"Don't just stand around, if there's an opening, clear out the minions to relieve the pressure on adventurers in this area."

Lin Da glanced at Kafni, who had been continuously attempting to use Stealing on the Black Armored Crab General, hoping to pilfer one of its claws.

This remark was primarily meant for Kafni to hear, but Monica's little face turned red, thinking Lin Da was scolding her for not putting enough effort into using Earth Bombardment.

"Captain, I'm shooting now," she said.

Monica hurriedly raised her magic wand.

"I wasn't talking about you," he said.

Lin Da smiled, held down the girl's magic wand, and pointed at Kafni, who was still diligently "stealing," "I was referring to her."

"Oh..." Monica relaxed at that.

The two stood shoulder to shoulder, clearing out the lesser Magical Creatures.

Lin Da protected Monica from the front, mainly using Normal Attacks to conserve Magic Power.

[System Notification: Defeated level 15 Murderous Crab, received 150 Mystical Points (activity bonus, an additional 150 points)]

[Notification...]

[Notification X87]

Adding to the Murderous Crabs defeated before encountering the Black Shell Crab General, Lin Da amassed 26,100 Mystical Points.

On his recording ring, the total count of Murderous Crabs he had defeated reached 194.

Total Mystical Points: 67,467!

Lin Da stroked his chin, thinking that if he grinded a bit longer, he should be able to level up twice in a row.

Upon leveling up, he would receive Divine Light, restoring a certain amount of Magic Power and Hit Points.

In intense combat, this is a very handy means of healing.

When he played games, he used to enter dungeons with the experience bar at 90%, fighting until halfway and leveling up for a cost-effective heal.

"The Black Shell Crab General should be about to die," Lin Da muttered to himself.

As Lin Da pondered, suddenly, a huge shadow loomed over him.

Turning his head, he saw the Black Shell Crab General holding on to its last breath, its eyes revealing a ferocious glint.

The claws tinged with the breath of death struck at him.

Lin Da made no attempt to avoid it, sword in one hand, he thrust at the creature.

He silently chanted in his mind: "Verdant Shield."

With the shield's blessing, his total Hit Points reached 6,760.

Lin Da then applied the skill 'Thorns Armor,' boosting his defensive power and causing Reflective Damage.

He suspected that he could defeat this critically damaged Magical Creature just by standing still.

Calmly looking up at the Black Shell Crab General, Lin Da was filled with a flood of emotions. When fighting the level 15 Goblin Chieftain, he had to chug Life Potions, barely scraping by with calculated Hit Points.

The Black Shell Crab General, stronger than the Goblin Chieftain, was easily subdued by him and the Phoenix Tail Flower Team.

The rise in the Phoenix Tail Flower Team's combat strength was evident to the naked eye.

Perhaps it was time to consider using the Goblin Chieftain's ring to take on their Royal Family.

As far as Lin Da knew, there was a relatively weak Goblin King's lair in the fifth layer of the Great Mystery Continent.

...

With a grimy face, Mos dodged the Murderous Crab's attacks and searched through the Monster Tide for Lin Da.

Damn it,

It was Lai Xi who told him to drive the other party away and Lai Xi who asked him to seek cooperation.

It damn well should have been Lai Xi himself coming over!

As a Hound Man, Mos had his dignity.

To do such a thing made his heart feel like a Protean Monster, twisting and contorting inside his chest no matter how he settled it, never sitting quite right.

He might as well think about how to begin the conversation.

'Brat, our Rock-level Squad, the Giant Rhino Adventure Team, in our great magnanimity, allow you to partake in the slaying of level 20 Magical Creatures!'

Or maybe a more humble approach: 'Damn human, I acknowledge your strength, so hurry up and cooperate with the Giant Rhino Adventure Team!'

Mos scratched his head in annoyance.

He felt unless he sent Dolphin Girl over for them to enjoy for a night for free, those people would never agree to cooperate!

There was a sound of battle up ahead.

Mos tensed up, he had found them.

His mind in turmoil, he drew closer, figuring if all else failed, he'd bring Dolphin Girl over to seek cooperation.

Talk about a coincidence.

Just as Mos arrived, he witnessed the face-off between Lin Da and the Black Shell Crab General, the moment their sword and pincers collided.
