after landing, the Silver-rank adventurer with broken arms let out a painful wail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this didn't affect the actions of the other adventurers in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of the gap in Xiao Hei's punches, two adventurers holding large shields pressed in, trying to use skills to restrain her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hei shoved one of them aside with her shoulder, once again creating some distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the adventurers reorganized their formation, they steadily surrounded her again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hei wanted to retreat, but several ice walls appeared behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seemed to have fallen into a passive situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was actually Lin Jun's problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jun had long noticed this group of adventurers sleeping in the stairs, but he didn't know what they planned to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since there had been no movement, Lin Jun had put most of his attention on the scout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't until the battle broke out in the mushroom garden that Lin Jun realized they were already fighting Xiao Hei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was completely beyond Lin Jun's expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What on earth were these humans thinking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had spent days persuading her before Xiao Hei finally learned not to attack humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she had developed a bit of a hoarding habit at some point, in reality, empty glass bottles were all it took to satisfy her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, her little nest was full of this \"trash.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this group of people, instead, actively sought her out to throw their lives away?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one or two came to die, that would be fine; it was normal for people to die in the dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But twenty-two people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And four Gold-rankers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they all disappeared together, it would definitely cause a huge sensation above!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jun had to be careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the moment he discovered the battle, he kept telling Xiao Hei to hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Xiao Hei wasn't happy, she was still obedient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, that Silver-rank adventurer would have exploded from the previous punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jun was already directing the Puji toward this area; they would be able to surround them in just 7 minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, if he beat this group of adventurers into critical condition and threw them out naked, the adventurers should learn their lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was what Lin Jun had originally thought...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he could have let them go like this...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Charge LV6]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An adventurer holding a large shield charged over; Xiao Hei kicked him head-on, and the adventurer rolled away with his shield, but didn't suffer much substantial damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she had to hold back her strength, Xiao Hei wasn't very good at controlling how much force to use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entangling for another two minutes, the dwarf finally found an opportunity and slashed an axe at the Big Black Mushroom's feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Earth-Binding Slash LV5]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, let's see how you run now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chains formed by earth elements entangled Xiao Hei; they weren't very strong, and Xiao Hei could break free with brute force in just half a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that half-second was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Piercing Strike LV7]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sixth-tier magic—Falling Rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seventh-tier magic—Lightning Strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four or five different attacks arrived in an instant, hitting Xiao Hei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These scales have such tough defense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who among you is willing to sell me your share of the scales?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guarantee a fair price.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dwarf, while working his arm, made an offer for his new armor material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, the Big Black Mushroom's speed was just a bit troublesome; although the scale defense was high, after taking that hit, it should be crippled if not dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, they just needed to retreat in time and not get surrounded by the Puji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Xiao Hei's defense was indeed broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[HP -120]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three scales on her right shoulder shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't a very serious injury, but [Mimicry] failed, and Xiao Hei was angry too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... what is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Humanoid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the smoke cleared, what appeared before all the adventurers was a furious dragon-person...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh no!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jun already wanted to cover his non-existent eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took the adventurers three minutes to find an opportunity to break her defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hei spread her wings, rushed into the crowd, and exploded with full power; it only took her two minutes to kill all the Silver-rankers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under absolute speed, every adventurer was an isolated individual, each having to face Xiao Hei's attack alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two minutes later, in the center of the battlefield littered with corpses, the four Gold-rank adventurers huddled together were already drenched in sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, what's going on?
