Chapter 100: First, Rule Out the Earth Element!

Outside the Team Fuben.

Xu Wenchang took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Dial tone... dial tone..."

After a few busy sounds, the call connected.

"Hello? Who is this?"

A middle-aged male voice came through, carrying an air of superiority from holding a high position.

"This is Xu Wenchang."

Xu Wenchang spoke in a flat tone.

The person on the other end of the line clearly paused for a moment, followed by the sound of a chair shifting.

Immediately after, that person became obsequious:

"Oh my! It's Xu Lao! I wonder... what business brings you to me, the humble mayor of Tianbei City?"

Xu Wenchang got straight to the point:

"Mayor Liu, I am currently in the Wasteland of Scattered Stones. I have witnessed the Mad Shark Guild illegally seizing land, forcing sales, and even committing public murder. I expect an explanation from you."

The person on the other end of the line fell silent for two seconds.

Immediately after, Mayor Liu's tone became somewhat agitated:

"What? Could this really be true?"

"Xu Lao, could there perhaps be some misunderstanding involved?"

Mayor Liu spoke with sincerity, "The Mad Shark Guild is, after all, an important civilian force for our Tianbei City in resisting the Beast Tide. President Zhao is usually enthusiastic about charity and obeys laws and regulations..."

"I suppose some temporary workers down there might have been a bit rough in their work and didn't understand the rules."

"Rest assured! I will severely criticize and educate President Zhao upon my return, making him thoroughly rectify internal discipline! We will never tolerate those horses that spoil the herd!"

Xu Wenchang spoke calmly:

"I am not discussing these matters with you. I demand that you immediately organize personnel to seal off the Mad Shark Guild and control all its core members."

Hearing this, the person on the other end of the line began to make excuses:

"Xu Lao, this... well, it is possible."

"But the Mad Shark Guild has hundreds of people after all, and they are deeply rooted locally. If we rashly make arrests, it could very likely trigger a mass incident..."

"How about this? Give me one week, and I will definitely give you an answer!"

Upon hearing these words,

Xu Wenchang's tone suddenly turned cold:

"Mayor Liu, it seems you intend to delay me? In that case, there is no need."

"It seems the Mad Shark Guild can be so arrogant in Tianbei City, and you, Mayor Liu, are not without responsibility."

Hearing these words, Mayor Liu on the other end of the line was terrified out of his wits. "Xu Lao, I have not a penny's connection with the Mad Shark Guild! I will make arrests right now; I will lead the team myself!"

"No need."

Xu Wenchang said indifferently, "I gave you the chance; it is your own fault for being useless."

Having finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly, giving the other party no further opportunity.

He put away his phone, looked at the gray sky in the distance, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.

In this era where monsters run rampant, there are still such parasites who tolerate black and evil forces for personal gain.

"Since I have encountered this, I might as well turn the sky of Tianbei City upside down and wash it clean."

Xu Wenchang muttered to himself.

Just then, the phone in his hand vibrated again.

He looked down; the caller ID showed—Lin Dapao.

The cold expression on his face instantly bloomed with a smile.

"Hello, Old Lin, what's up?"

Xu Wenchang's tone became more casual.

"Hahaha!"

Lin Tianhao laughed loudly, "Xu Lao, I am heading to Tianbei City right now. I heard you are running a Team Fuben with my son over there?"

Xu Wenchang paused, saying helplessly:

"Old Lin, what? You still don't trust me being here? You have to come over personally to watch, do you?"

"Of course! That is my own son! How can I rest easy without watching?"

Lin Tianhao spoke with righteous indignation.

"Besides, you, Xu Lao, cannot even enter the Team Fuben and can only guard from the outside. What if someone intrudes into the Team Fuben?"

"You mean the intrusion scrolls? The state has been cracking down on and destroying those things all along."

Xu Wenchang shook his head and said:

"Besides, the Team Fuben has a level restriction of 20 to 25. Your son can even wipe out elite monsters of level 30 in one go. If someone really intruded, wouldn't they just be throwing their lives away?"

"Hahaha—"

Hearing this, Lin Tianhao could not help but feel a surge of pride.

His son is truly impressive; he really brings honor to the family!

"Alright, no more talk. Send me your specific coordinates and wait for me. Hanging up."

As Lin Tianhao spoke, he hung up the phone.

Xu Wenchang looked at the hung-up phone, a smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

What a son-doting man...

……

About one kilometer away from Xu Wenchang's location.

This is an extremely concealed hollow.

Surrounded by towering piles of chaotic rocks, blocking it off completely.

If viewed from high above, one would discover hundreds of people lurking densely here.

This time, the Mad Shark Guild has brought out its entire force.

Guildmaster Zhao Tianling personally presided, with Shanben Jianyi from the Ying Nation standing beside him.

Beside them, a young man was gazing at a scroll in his hand that emitted a strange purple-black light.

【Intruder Scroll: After use, it can detect opened Team Fuben spaces within a five-kilometer radius and forcibly construct a temporary teleportation channel to send a four-person squad into it.】

Suddenly,

the young man's hand trembled:

"Guildmaster, we... we can enter..."

"We can enter?"

Zhao Tianling was stunned for a moment.

If the Intruder Scroll says we can enter, it means the first elite squad he sent out has been completely wiped out!

"So fast?"

"Scar and the others are the guild's most elite level-25 squad, and they were wearing full sets of Lightning and Fire dual-resistance equipment. Even if they just stood there and let that kid hit them, they shouldn't have been wiped out this fast, right?"

Zhao Tianling frowned, unable to understand.

Shanben Jianyi also revealed a Serious expression, his tone low: "It seems we still underestimated the true worth of this Long Xu Ban's number one."

Zhao Tianling looked at the young man.

That was the second assassination squad, fully prepared.

"Second squad, prepare!"

Zhao Tianling gritted his teeth and ordered.

"Wait."

Shanben Jianyi suddenly blocked him, "Guildmaster Zhao, your second squad's strength is not even as good as the first squad's. Even if they wear the same Lightning and Fire dual-resistance equipment, the result will be the same."

"Hmm? Then what do you suggest we do?"

Zhao Tianling glanced at him, frowned, and a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes.

Time waits for no one. If we drag this out any longer, once Lin Mo and the others clear the instance, everything will be over.

"Guildmaster Zhao, do you have any high-grade elemental resistance potions?"

Zhao Tianling was stunned, then nodded and said:

"I have high-grade elemental resistance potions for Lightning, Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, and even Light and Dark. After consumption, the corresponding elemental resistance increases by 70% for one hour."

Hearing this, Shanben Jianyi nodded and said:

"Give one bottle to each member of the second squad. It's a pity that elemental resistance potions cannot be reused; if a second bottle is used, the new effect will overwrite the effect of the first."

"So, we must make a choice."

"Guildmaster Zhao, which one do you think we should take?"

Zhao Tianling looked at those potions, falling into deep thought.

This was a multiple-choice question concerning success or failure.

If the wrong resistance is chosen, the second squad will go in for nothing.

"Lightning and Fire are definitely neutralized; the resistance on that set of equipment is solid."

Zhao Tianling's brain raced, pondering:

"First, eliminate Earth."

"Although Lin Mo also has an Earth talent, Earth skills are mostly defensive; there are very few offensive skills."

"Moreover, in the video, Lin Mo was not seen using any Earth offensive skills. If he knew them, he would have cast them long ago."

"A person's energy is limited. Since he cultivated Lightning and Fire to the extreme, Earth must only be a means of survival."

"That Light-element girl is a tank, and the support poses even less threat. If we can only choose one type... then it must be Ice."

"After all, she is a student of the Long Xu Ban; she must not be simple."

"Scar and the others probably fell at the hands of that Ice-element girl."

Hearing this analysis, Shanben Jianyi nodded in agreement.

"A brilliant deduction, Guildmaster Zhao."

"Then let's arrange it this way."
