After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Chapter 383 311, Lin Da's Decision, the Tenth Floor of the Great Mystery Continent Closes

Tasya might not have formally terminated her contract and left the Scarlet Adventure Group, which is why her name didn't show up on the squad page.

Otherwise, with Lin Da's hand holding hundreds of thousands of Diamonds, he could have upgraded Tasya to level 36 within minutes.

"Master, be careful."

A shout came from behind.

Caught off guard, Lin Da had failed to notice a Treant attacking from the side when Tasya rushed to his side, delivering a beautiful spinning kick that struck the Treant in the middle of its trunk.

There was a crackle as the Treant emitted a sharp screech from inside, split in half by Tasya's high heel on the spot.

"Thanks."

Lin Da wiped the sweat from his forehead.

His limbs ached.

He leaned back against Tasya, and they both faced the seemingly endless 'sea of trees'.

A trace of fatigue couldn't help but cross his face

Even though they were both Star-ranked adventurers who could crush the Treants, they couldn't withstand the overwhelming numbers of their opponents.

The Treant belonged to the Grass System; if only he had a Fire Series member on the team, Lin Da thought to himself.

The Fire Series against the Grass System, twice the result with half the effort.

The probability of triggering a Fatal Strike would also significantly increase.

Hitting the opponent's Life Barrier had a chance to cause violent fluctuations in the Demon Core, resulting in its immediate death.

In the endless battle with the horde of Treants, Lin Da's Magic Power was quickly depleting, leaving only about thirty percent.

Tasya, already in a frail state, was performing even worse than him.

Resting against his back, she was gasping for air, her maid skirt soaked through with sweat, which seeped through the fabric to his side.

The air in the forest was already damp, creating a feeling of discomfort, and their intermingling sweat made the sensation even more intense...

Lin Da, who had a slight obsession with cleanliness, desperately wanted to go home for a shower at this moment.

But these damned Treants clearly had no intention of letting him have his way.

"This doesn't look good if we keep going like this," he muttered.

Lin Da glanced at his pale blue wristwatch.

The spade-shaped hand pointed to ten o'clock sharp in the morning.

It was already getting light outside.

However, due to the density of the trees within Dragon Forest, it was still dim during the day.

According to the previous notice from the World Tree Sanctum, the closing time for this ten-layer Mystic Realm was noon at twelve o'clock.

He still had two hours left.

The exit from the Great Mystery Continent would close.

Inside the Dragon Forest, it was impossible to use teleportation items or skills.

Lin Da's Teleportation Stone was in a dull state, unresponsive to infused Magic Power.

If he couldn't get out of the forest with Tasya in the next two hours, they would be trapped on the tenth floor.

They could only leave when the Mystic Realm reopened.

The mere thought of it gave Lin Da a headache.

The danger level of the Great Mystery Continent would increase manifold in its closed state!

Even the relatively safe resource areas could become high-risk.

Magical Creatures would be greatly strengthened, making their subjugation much more difficult.

All of these were not even the most troublesome issues.

During the closure of the Great Mystery Continent, the supply of Magic Elements inside would be stopped, and all means of magic restoration were forbidden.

Adventurers could not refill their Magic Power or Battle Qi from the air or items.

It was tantamount to ensuring a 'one-life clearance', holding out until the Great Mystery Continent reopened.

Lin Da had done this before.

He even liked training his team in the closed Great Mystery Continent.

But back then, with his Dark Shadow leading them, the whole experience felt like 'outdoor training' or a 'team outing', with a relaxed atmosphere akin to a special episode in an anime.

But now it was different.

Constantly encountering Magical Creatures, both he and Tasya wouldn't be able to bear it.

"Two hours, can we make it out of Dragon Forest?"

Lin Da questioned himself, but couldn't arrive at a definite answer.

"There are two choices: move deeper, where due to my battle as the Dark Shadow with the Forest Dragon, the Magical Creatures were actually cleared out, with their numbers greatly reduced compared to the outer regions, which can effectively preserve strength and provide more assurance for subsequent battles;

Or, gamble on luck, cut down the Treants, and dash to the edge!"

Lin Da was caught in an internal struggle.

At that moment, he seemed to see a vision of a red-haired girl before his eyes.

That's right,

Lia, that kid, she wouldn't still be in the forest, would she?

What about Lulu, Monica?

They were not captured by Hulus, but did they manage to escape the Dragon Forest and return to White Dove City?

If it were a public Adventure Zone, Lin Da could use a sensor ladybug to open a live feed and inquire with the adventurers outside.

But the Dragon Forest had special restrictions, preventing sensor ladybugs from connecting to the magic screens outside, as if disrupted by a signal jammer.

The thought struck Lin Da suddenly: what if he went back to the villa and found it empty, with none of them having returned...

Then he, as the team leader, would have failed miserably.

Secondly, he was the only one in the group with a Recovery Series profession.

Without Healing Art, getting injured in the closed Great Mystery Continent would be no different than waiting to die.

The Recovery Series profession was the lifeline of an adventure team, indispensable.

After giving it some thought, Lin Da's eyes gradually deepened.

He raised his head and looked up at the night sky above.

"There are only two... no, just over an hour left before it comes.

"The unique 'scenery' in that closed Great Mystery Continent!"

...

Noon, the sun blazed in the sky.

The ten-layer Great Mystery Continent, Tawny Wilderness.

The cold night had passed as if it were a dream.

Adventurers went through the transition between winter and summer all within one day.

Teams that had not entered the Dragon Forest went back in for another day, after a good night's sleep, using the Teleportation Stone.

They dressed lightly, picking Mondale Tree fruits in boredom.

Despite the tedium and low earnings, it was safe.

Picking fruits here, you'd actually rob me? Have you no heart?

Apart from the Beastmen, Elves and humans, who generally had higher cultural literacy, would mostly show mercy to such poor adventurers.
