Chapter Forty-Five: United We Stand, Divided We Fall

  "Ahhhhh! Why did I end up in this place and get ambushed by that damned Dragon Tribe's Shrimp General?!"

  Lizard Druid Master was yelling in frustration, because he had finally managed to upgrade the "Old Kang" character in his running team, a wood-elemental Qi practitioner, to level 5, and successfully obtained the secondary occupation of Beast Tamer from a beast tamer, finally having a bit of Lizard Druid's feel.

  Just as they were about to get excited, Master Lide Ruidi discovered that his team, led by himself, had accidentally fallen into the trap set by the East Sea Dragon Clan while searching for the "Lingzhu" in a secret cave. They were surrounded by dozens of shrimp soldiers and crab generals led by Xunhai Yecha!

  In the skills of "Sophistry" and "Enlightenment", the Aviari Adept Euphyna, who had invested many points, failed in her negotiations with the arrogant Sea-Spanning Night Yaksha BOSS.

  Alright, it seems that skills were released but multiple dice were thrown and the combat assessment failed, so the battle inevitably unfolded.

  As soon as the battle began, Master Lizardude unleashed his divine power, using wood-element magic and summoning a ferocious beast - the Cave Rock Snake - to strike down several shrimp soldiers.

  Before he could even get excited, Malong, as the dungeon master, said lightly: "Xun Hai Ye thinks that wood-based cultivators are the main threat, so he targeted wood-based cultivators and shot out deep-sea ice arrows with instant death spell effects. The bow and arrow he used was the sea snake bow with a spiritual energy, his racial bonus in ice magic is..."

  After a lot of fuss, Ma Long threw the dice to determine the attack effect of Xun Hai Ye, and as a result, the poor Lizard Druid Master and his summoned creature Cave Rock Snake... gloriously fell down to count ants.

  At this time, the Chiyou tribe's heavy armor warriors charged forward with large shields, replacing the fallen wooden practitioners' positions, while the winged nation's longbowmen flew into the air and began shooting fire arrows.

  Next, Haemin's Qi practitioner, Evna, used water-based magic to revive the old Kang of the Wood Clan, a Qi practitioner and beast tamer. However, in an instant, she found that the heavily armored warrior from the Chiyou tribe at the front had been knocked down by the shrimp soldiers using gang warfare tactics.

  The feathered people's longbowmen were even more miserable, she was miserably calculated by the dragon tribe crab general who used the fixed wind turtle shell pearl, and became a Lin sister falling from the sky - the kind that landed face first.

  ……

  The battle continued, with Evna, who was acting as the priest, exhausting all her memorized resurrection and healing spells, while that damned Sea Scourge still stood upright, and the fight had to enter its most tragic moment... a wipe.

  "Congratulations, you guys persisted for four hours and eighteen minutes, took down four small BOSSes, and even almost killed the ultimate BOSS of this dungeon run - the elite sea-night yaksha of the Rebel Dragon Palace."

  "What, this guy is an elite?! Ma Long, my friend, why didn't you tell me about this earlier? If I had known, I would have definitely gone after this damned guy first instead of wasting time killing those weak shrimp soldiers!"

  Lizhu De Rui Master was excited again, he thought it was a very unfair thing.

  "Almost an hour ago, you had the chance to go to the crystal palace of the East Sea Dragon King and then learn some information about this guy from the third dragon prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace, and even find a way to deal with this guy. But because Old Kang absolutely didn't believe that evil witch's words that 'jumping into the sea' could enter the dragon palace, you missed this opportunity."

  Ma Long shrugged his shoulders and spread out his hands in regret as he spoke of the fundamental reason for Li Zhiyu's defeat.

  "Ah ha?! There really is a Dragon Palace under the sea?! It's truly, incredibly amazing......" Lizard Deity Master widened his eyes in surprise, feeling that this situation completely went against his understanding. However, he immediately pointed at Evianna and muttered: "I remember now, our Vice Guildmaster Miss also expressed her disbelief about the underwater crystal palace of the Dragon King."

  "It seems we still need to continue studying the player's manual and monster encyclopedia."

  Eva's face also had a hint of frustration, this five-hour-plus running team experience made her almost fully immersed in the game world, really putting herself as that girl from a small island overseas who came to the seaside Chen Tang Guan because of the heart of finding the lost island, and started an adventure journey with a group of friends as a sea folk cultivator.

  Next to Evna, the little fox girl Amy puffed out her cheeks and glared at Marlon.

  In the previous team wipe, her Qingqiu Fox Maiden assassin actually fell into the trap set by Xunhai Yejiao beforehand. This kind of thing is simply a malicious move by Malong to intentionally make things difficult for her - absolutely!

  "Why is it that the righteous are always deceived by the wicked."

  The young Minotaur, Auster, was also troubled, hugging his massive bull head.

  "Master Aitsu, your words are incorrect. I think we entered this cave too early... Hmm... What I mean to say is that our powers are not enough to defeat the evil Umibozu. If each of our powers were just one level higher, there would be hope for victory! It's not that evil must win, but rather justice is too weak!"

  Adela tried to persuade the Minotaur boy, but these words were indeed Adela's true thoughts.

  "You said... it's not that evil will surely win, but rather that justice is too weak?"

  The young Minotaur, releasing his hands from around his head, could clearly see the great impact of Adela's words from his thoughtful and round eyes.

  So after being stunned for a moment, the cow-headed boy suddenly stood up, pushed away his chair and turned around to walk out: "I... I'll go back to my room first, I want to calm down!"

  "Master Auster, it's almost time..." Adela tried to call out to the Minotaur boy, because judging by the time, it was soon going to be time for Marlon to take everyone together to tell stories to the orphans and veterans at the orphanage.

  However, Adela's words were cut off before she could finish, as Malong stopped her with a gesture and a glance.

  At least in Malong's view, Adela's careless words just now have obviously touched Aisite's heart unintentionally. At this time, it is the right way to let Aisite calm down and think about it alone.

  "Esther, my brother! Whatever the outcome of your thoughts may be, don't ever forget this fact - we are good brothers!"

  Adela's Malong was stopped by a loud shout from the Ox-headed youth who had already walked to the gate.

  Ma Long's words made the Minotaur youth stop in his tracks, turn around and gaze deeply at Ma Long before nodding heavily and finally leaving to return to his own room.

  "It's really touching." Yvonne, who witnessed the scene, commented with emotion: "Malong, I didn't misjudge you, you're indeed a sentimental person."

  "You don't understand." Malong shook his head, he was very clear that he was actually "paying off a debt", if the Cow Head boy really had an accident, Malong would never be at peace for the rest of his life, it's just that this thought he couldn't express.

  So, Marlon soon collected his emotions and looked at Yvonne, saying: "Miss Yvonne, as Adela said, it's almost time for me to go to the orphanage to tell stories to the children. I don't know if Miss Yvonne is interested in listening together, and then having dinner with the children of the orphanage? By the way, Miss Yvonne, you are also one of the important donors of the orphanage."

  Eva seemed to want to decline, but when she got to the point of speaking, she obviously hesitated.

  "...Of course I will."
