NOVEL NEXT Chapter 305: 269, start with a finishing move as a sign of respect.
No wonder these adventurers were surprised. Objectively speaking, Lin Da at level 25 should have no problem hunting level 20 Wetland Worms, but it shouldn't have been this easy.
He simply held his sword in the air, and when a Wetland Worm crashed into it, it died.
At this moment, Lin Da on the screen made a new move.
His eyes narrowed, and the Sword of Royalty in his hand spun like a large windmill.
The sword light traced a chilling arc, and then, a torrent of blood rained down.
A bunch of Wetland Worms that burst out from the ground were cut into halves like chopping chives as Lin Da spun around.
The Sword of Royalty slicing into the worms' bodies felt as smooth as a beastman's nail cutting through an elf lady's tearable black silk stockings, without encountering any resistance.
'Epic Weapon, truly extraordinary.'
Lin Da sighed to himself, shook the blood off the Sword of Royalty, and sheathed it.
[System prompt: Defeated 20 level Wetland Worms x10, acquired 5000 diamonds!]
Lin Da didn't even use magic power, a casual swing was enough to kill the Wetland Worms that troubled ordinary adventure teams so much.
The disparity in personal profession, talent, and equipment added up, creating a chasm between individuals' strengths.
If it were an ordinary level 25 adventurer, they would have had to use at least 3 small skills to kill a Wetland Worm.
Just now, 9 worms buried underground ambushed Lin Da. If it were an ordinary adventure team, they would have been thrown into disarray, exerting a lot of effort, and if not handled well, there could even be severe injuries.
This was the reason behind everyone's shock outside the screen.
[One sword strike to kill 9 Wetland Worms? You're telling me this is a support?]
An adventurer passing through South Rock City stared dazedly at the screen, feeling a giant question mark forming in his mind.
"Brother, you just don't get it. Lin Da himself is very powerful, and with that exceptional weapon, it's normal for him to kill 9 level 20 Wetland Worms with one sword strike," said Finch, the vice president of the Phoenix Tail Flower Fan Club and a blond Swordsman, as he patted the former's shoulder and laughed heartily.
Since Lin Da conquered the sixth, seventh, and eighth floors, Finch, along with his adventure team, crazily copied his strategies and successfully cleared the levels by following Lin Da's techniques.
Of course, Finch didn't dare to face the hidden magical creatures; his clearance was just standard. Still, it was exciting enough, and Finch felt he had a chance to become the captain of a Rock-level Adventure Team.
Today, Lin Da's ninth-floor strategy arrived just in time.
Clearing the ninth floor meant becoming a Rock-level Adventure Team, which would allow for monthly resource allocations from the empire.
With the standards of White Dove City, at least 3 Bronze-level Fruits of the World Tree.
Everyone's gaze focused on the screen.
The ninth floor, muddy wetlands.
Lin Da killed the worms and stood with his sword sheathed.
He wasn't feeling as relaxed as everyone thought.
Seeing Monica trembling by his side, her little face pale, Lin Da sighed in his heart.
"Don't be afraid, with the captain's shield, these worms won't be able to bite you."
Monica, in a state of fear, was completely unable to fight.
It was similar to the [Fear] DEBUFF in games.
When team members used skills, there was a fifty percent chance of failure.
This wouldn't do.
Lin Da was counting on Monica's cannon for output.
He put on a stern face, took Monica's small hand off his clothing, and pointed to the corpses of the Wetland Worms cut in half on the ground:
"As an adventurer, how can you be afraid of magical creatures? Monica, I want you to touch these worms, get used to their presence!"
The hidden boss of the ninth floor was much more disgusting than the Wetland Worms.
Lin Da worried that Monica would be scared to the point of passing out, unable to cast a single spell.
"Wuu wuu, Lord Captain, I don't want to touch them," Monica's little head shook like a rattle-drum.
Her petite white legs clamped tightly together, trembling like a sieve, her cute brown round-toed shoes covered with mud.
This damp environment made Monica's little face bitter, and she really wanted to go back to the villa for a hot bath.
"If you don't overcome this difficulty, you won't be able to proceed," Lin Da's tone softened a bit as he bent down to pat Monica on the head, "The captain believes you can do it. Go ahead."
"Wuu wuu, if it's an order from Lord Captain..."
Obediently, Monica walked up to the carcass of the Wetland Worm and crouched down, her little hand trembling as she reached out to touch the dark, slimy, stench-ridden skin of the worm's corpse...
Little did they know, Lin Da's teaching method with Monica was causing the number of suggestions to skyrocket again.
Some adventurers thought letting the pure Big Lolita touch such dirty things was very thrilling, satisfying a dark desire in their hearts.
Another group of diehard fans of Monica believed that Lin Da was maliciously making things difficult for her.
[You turned out to be this kind of Eye of True Knowledge. We misjudged you. You must only want to have Monica, who has touched the big black worm, throw herself into your arms with tears in her eyes, fulfilling your perverted desires!]
[You mustn't let our Monica touch something so dirty!]
[Stop your perverted behavior!]
[Hey, hey, hehehe... The Big Lolita is touching the big, black Flesh Worm...]
Lin Da couldn't be bothered to read those suggestions.
No matter what those people said, Monica was his teammate, and it was none of their business.
Monica, squatting on the ground, appeared to be wearing a 'Mask of Pain,' forcibly closing her eyes, her tiny white hands fumbling clumsily over the worm's body.
Soon, her fingertips were covered in green, stinking blood. The soft, slimy, and cold touch of the worm's skin was about to bring tears to Monica's eyes.
"Lord Captain, I did it."
Monica wiped her eyes with her elbow.
Lin Da smiled and said, "Well done, worthy of being my teammate."
As a reward, Lin Da took an orange gummy candy from his pocket and placed it into Monica's mouth.
After a few more training sessions, Monica gradually became desensitized to the Wetland Worms.
Although still somewhat resistant, overall, she was able to release magic calmly when faced with worm attacks.
Lin Da's education of Monica was a complete success.
In the blink of an eye, the two arrived at the hiding place of the Magical Creatures.
From the pit filled with black stinky water, an enormous Flesh Worm crawled out.
Its body was like a small hill, 10 meters long and 3 meters high, with dozens of caterpillar-like legs wriggling and crawling through the mud, slowly advancing towards Lin Da and Monica, who seemed as tiny as ants.
This Flesh Worm's body was covered in yellow mucus that could effectively resist Battle Qi and magic attacks, and its body odor, like fermented faeces for 10 days, was an extremely pungent stench that could knock out unprepared adventurers on the spot.
Fortunately, Lin Da and his group had already put on their poison masks.
Gazing at this mountain of flesh, Lin Da stood with the Verdant Shield above his head and the Sword of Royalty in his hand, protecting Monica behind him.
"Ten Second Quick Kill... let's begin."
Lin Da's first move, Ultimate Skill: Poison Dragon's Roar!
...
...
It's over?
The Adventurers' Guild hall in White Dove City, people watched dumbfounded as the giant Magical Creature flipped onto its back on the screen.
It felt absurd and unbelievable.
Lin Da initiated with Poison Dragon's Roar as Monica cast the Falling Rock Technique at the same time.
The moment they unleashed two Ultimate Skills, they hammered the Flesh Mountain Magic Worm, making it wail miserably.
