After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply-Chapter 396 - : 317. Overnight in the cave, sleeping together under a big blanket, Lin Da’s battle plan 2.

Chapter 396: 317. Overnight in the cave, sleeping together under a big blanket, Lin Da’s battle plan 2.

The Great Snow that continuously depleted Magic Power and Battle Qi;

The Blood Moon that increased the strength of Magical Creatures…

We must prepare to face and overcome them.

Merely ‘surviving’ is far from enough, we must pick higher-grade materials ‘Dark Tree Fruit’!”

Lin Da’s voice was forceful as he tapped the teaching stick in his hand on the small blackboard, establishing this temporary team’s most important goal.

To obtain the Dark Tree Fruits and replenish the body’s Magic Power and Battle Qi.

In this way, even if they encountered the harsh climates within the Great Mystery Continent, having Dark Tree Fruits as reserves meant they could handle it with ease.

Lia raised her hand, “I also want to find Dark Tree Fruits, but it’s too difficult, we’ve found nothing in ten days.”

“Yes, they are indeed hard to find, but there are traces to follow.”

Lin Da smiled, the light flashed in his hand, and three black orange-shaped fruits appeared in his palm.

A refreshing fragrance was emitted, resembling chocolate cake made in the shape of oranges, tempting one to eat them whole, peel and all.

Lia’s eyes immediately widened in astonishment, “Da, Dark Tree Fruit? You found them?”

“I was lucky today, Tasya helped me distract a Level 36 Shadow Magic Panther, and that gave me the chance to pick them.”

Lin Da thought back to the fierce battle of the day and shook his head, “Unfortunately, I didn’t get many. Most of the fruits were eaten by that creature, and there were only three left when I was picking.”

He said, “One Dark Tree Fruit can restore almost half of one’s Magic Power. Adventurers below Moon Rank will need twenty Dark Tree Fruits to recover from a completely depleted state to full Magic Power.”

Such fruits generally grow near pools and rivers where the vegetation is lush, the birthplace of life, and are usually crowded with large numbers of Magical Creatures.

Our next task is to split into three groups and search for water sources. As soon as we find any, we will immediately regroup and figure out a way to cleverly take the fruits.”

Lin Da laughed, “Tasya relies quite a bit on the Magic Cannon, and is a bit weaker in close combat. Lia, your help is a big boon. With the weight of the Phoenix Feather Sword, you can inflict considerable damage even without using Battle Qi.”

Compared to Mages and ranged attacks, in the enclosed Great Mystery Continent, Lia, a pure melee Swordsman, had the greatest advantage.

He patted Lia on the shoulder, “Rest well tonight, for tomorrow, I will not allow you to take it easy.”

“I will also pull my weight, and not just mooch off your food.”

Lia clenched her fists with confidence, “Don’t think just because you are Level 31, you are better than me. Sooner or later, I will surpass you.”

“I guess that’s not very likely.”

Lin Da shrugged his shoulders, turned on the fluorescent light in the cave, and sat at the desk to sketch and draw.

This was a detailed map of the terrain.

The places Lin Da had explored in the past few days were all marked out, effectively avoiding repeated exploration.

Tasya began to clean up the bowls and chopsticks, then quietly stood behind Lin Da, like a protective Shadow.

The cold wind from outside was blocked by the vine curtain.

In the cave there was water, meat, and two trustworthy companions. Lia sat on a stone stool, her tense shoulders of the past ten days gradually relaxing, her frown easing as she took a long, deep breath.

Out there on her own, dodging from place to place, uncertain of the next day, hungry, with no water to drink but ‘small drinks,’ and at night worrying about being attacked by Magical Creatures…

Now, those worries were swept away, and Lia’s anxious heart finally settled.

She stared blankly at Lin Da, who was under the glow of the fluorescent light, earnestly drawing the map, and suddenly, her heart beat wildly. She thought Lin Da looked rather handsome, and she could not help but watch him for a while before coming back to her senses.

“I must be sick; those poisonous mushrooms really do a number on you!”

Lia was secretly astonished, quickly diverted her gaze away from Lin Da and began her daily Battle Qi cultivation.

…

After a while, Lin Da put away the map and rubbed the sore spot between his eyebrows.

He lifted his wrist to look at the watch, which showed it was 8:30 p.m.

Lin Da stretched and said, “Time to rest. In the enclosed Great Mystery Continent, no matter what you do, you need to have plenty of strength and energy.”

“How do we sleep?”

Crossing her knees and attempting to absorb Battle Qi from the sparse air, Lia asked an extremely important question with a sullen expression on her small face.

The small stone beds in the cave were enough for two people, but three would make it crowded, too tight.

Moreover, Tasya had an enviable figure, one that could match two others, making the already small bed even narrower.

Indeed, how should they sleep?

Lin Da thought for a while, then took out a brown sleeping bag designed for camping from his ring.

Made of tiger skin, it had an excellent warming effect.

Lia said with emotion, “Lin Da, I’ve just realized that you really have a great personality…”

“It’s a bit big for you, but it will do for now.”

Lin Da tossed the sleeping bag to Lia, “Once we get out of the Great Mystery Continent, don’t forget to wash it before returning it.”

Lia: ?

On the other hand, Tasya had already arranged the bedding and, turning her back to them, removed her thick maid’s skirt to reveal her smooth, tan skin.

Her full thighs were marked by the straps of white garter stockings, adorned with numerous hollowed-out butterflies and lace edges, wrapping around her slender waist.

On Tasya’s back were white straps and metal buckles, reflecting dazzling light under the fluorescent lamp.

Without her heavy maid’s outfit, which was like armor, Tasya’s explosive figure was immediately evident, and a pleasant scent also reached the nostrils of the two of them.

Lia glanced at Tasya, then looked at herself, and couldn’t help but exclaim at the unfairness of the world!

What’s with this maid’s figure, so provocative!

But then she saw Tasya slip under the covers, exposed only her head, and after waiting for a moment, said, “Master, the bed is warmed up, please come in.”

Warming the bed for the master was one of the basic duties of the maids on this continent.

Tasya lifted a corner of the quilt with an expressionless face, waiting for Lin Da to change and sleep.

“This is too unhealthy!”

With a grit of her teeth, Lia pounced on the bed and, to Tasya’s astonished expression, crawled under the covers, seizing Lin Da’s intended spot.

“Now that I’m here, I won’t allow you to do any indecent acts! Moreover, I’m a patient, how can I sleep in that sleeping bag? What if I freeze to death at night.”

During the night within the sealed Great Mystery Continent, there raged potent Cold Waves, and even Lia, who had Fire Fighting Qi, could feel the chill.

Such a natural climate was a kind of magic that could disregard the strength of adventurers, making adventurers realize the most primitive reverence for nature.

“Get off.” Tasya’s complexion turned awful, and she pulled out a Magic Cannon to start a fight with Lia under the blankets.

“I’m a patient!” Lia used her body as a shield.

“Stop arguing, or it will be troublesome if you attract the Magical Creatures.”

Lin Da said helplessly.

He had only jokingly suggested for Lia to use the sleeping bag; given Lia’s physical condition, she indeed needed the warm quilt more. Tasya easily sweated and could serve as a large hot water bottle during the cold night, offering warmth several times more effective than the sleeping bag.

It was just that it posed a great test of willpower, but since Lia was female, she didn’t have to worry about that aspect.

With a snap, the fluorescent light was turned off, and the cave plunged into darkness.

Only strands of pale red moonlight snuck in through the gaps in the vine curtains.

Tasya and Lia had stopped arguing; although the former was dissatisfied, Lin Da had given an order, and even if she was irked by Lia, she wouldn’t say anything more.

They lay back to back, each not wanting to see the other’s face.

Tasya faced the wall, while Lia looked outside.

What she saw was Lin Da sitting stiffly in front of the vine curtain, reading a book.

“What are you doing?” Lia couldn’t help asking.

“The noise we made when we killed the Rock Snake might attract some Magical Creatures, or… other adventurers.” Lin Da’s eyes flashed coldly when he spoke the word ‘adventurers.’ He was not naive enough to think that everyone would join hands to overcome difficulties; sometimes, the danger from adventurers could be greater than that from Magical Creatures.
