After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply-Chapter 387 - : 313, Lia drinks strange beverage, Lin Da’s adventures level up

Chapter 387: 313, Lia drinks strange beverage, Lin Da’s adventures level up

Lia would sometimes flip through magazines like the adventurer rankings to see what others thought of her.

That’s how she happened to discover people like Dawen, Abner, and Hu Er at the top of the list.

The moment she recognized Hu Er, alarm bells rang in her heart.

Lia secretly unleashed an [Energy Charging], her Battle Qi flooding into her limbs and body, putting her directly into a state of combat readiness!

She had no confidence in defeating a Moon rank adversary.

But there was good news: Hu Er seemed to be severely injured.

The thick bandage around his left waist was soaked with blood, and as he walked, his steps were heavier on the right and lighter on the left. His face was an unnatural shade of pale.

A battle must have occurred before and he suffered serious injuries.

Although Hu Er strived to disguise his weakness, Lia’s combat intuition was sharp; a single glance was enough to see through Hu Er’s facade.

Maybe just casually killing six Demon Saw Mushrooms exhausted all of his Battle Qi.

Besides, she knew he was aware of her peering and was deliberately putting on an act.

Just one sword strike could finish off this Fox Beastman…?

Of course, everything was speculation, and Lia had no confidence to swing her sword directly.

Even if Hu Er had only one-tenth of his Battle Qi left, it was not something she, a novice Star Rank, could overcome.

Lia chose to negotiate first to see what Hu Er’s attitude was.

“Of course, I know your name, given that you’re a famous adventure team leader in White Dove City, and a beautiful young lady at that,” said Hu Er with a gentleman’s smile, placing his right hand over his chest, bowing slightly, as graceful as an elf from high society.

His voice was so gentle that it almost sounded feminine:

“My title as Tormentor might be misleading, but Miss Lia, I beg you to believe me, it’s just slander by those adventurers who dislike pure-blooded orcs; they can’t stand to see orcish success.

We possess the strongest bodies among the three great races, and if someone like me also has a handsome appearance and an excellent brain, wouldn’t it make humans and elves look incompetent?

That’s why they want to tarnish my reputation, affixing the baseless title of ‘Tormentor’ to me.

The truth is, I don’t take pleasure in tormenting my prey, I am not a sadist. Quite to the contrary, I am a triple-good orc in a broad sense.”

Hu Er spoke with a smile:

“Miss Lia, I now extend an invitation to you. As fellow unfortunate adventurers trapped in the Great Mystery Continent, would you care to partner with me to get through the time ahead?

As a Moon rank adventurer, I normally wouldn’t bother with regular Star Ranks, but you, Miss Lia, with your excellent reputation and beauty, I cannot ignore.

Alright, I see the wisdom in your gaze—I admit there are other motives, such as building a good relationship with the Mandalas behind you. I heard that the Bloody Baron is likely to reach Moon Rank this year, and your brother Dawen is also called a genius Swordsman.”

Hu Er explained on his own.

He presented a number of sufficient reasons why someone of his Moon rank would condescend to approach Lia.

Seeing Lia’s thoughtful expression, as though she was being persuaded, the corners of Hu Er’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up.

Inside, he had already revealed another face, like a devil who had taken off its mask, grinning evilly while drooling, reaching out with his hands, left and right, to grab Lia… Hu Er planned to devour this prey before him!

Before he recovered from his injuries, he would let Lia take care of him, becoming her “companion.”

Once the Great Mystery Continent was opened and they could use the Teleportation Stone to return home, he would cruelly kill her, savoring the sight of the girl’s despair!

As for praising Lia,

Excellent reputation?

Beauty?

Those were all fabrications by Hu Er!

He was biologically repulsed by all women. A true man should dominate over other males, using brutal means to hear their pleas for mercy!

Presenting himself as a gentleman in front of Lia was merely to deceive her. He found her to be the sort who let her ‘wisdom’ lead her by the nose, easy to fool.

“Cooperate?”

Lia showed a hint of interest.

In her mind, she thought: To have a Moon rank adventurer as a companion during the perilous closure period of the Great Mystery Continent would undoubtedly enhance her safety significantly.

Hu Er had also given many convincing reasons.

However…

Somehow, seeing Hu Er’s extending his hand with a smiling face, Lia felt annoyed and disturbed. Was this man too forward?

She hadn’t held hands with the opposite sex much growing up. What if Lin Da hadn’t left the Dragon Forest and saw her with Hu Er…

She couldn’t pinpoint exactly why, but Lia instinctively resisted such a situation.

She didn’t want Lin Da to see her being intimate with another man.

Lia replied cautiously, “Thank you for your kindness, but I have other companions in the forest I need to meet up with, so I’m sorry.”

Heaven knows, Lia was speaking in a flowery tone, and all because of Hu Er’s status as a Moon rank adventurer.

As arrogant as Lia was, she knew now was not the time for pride.

Hu Er still wore a bright and cheerful smile: “May I ask who Miss Lia’s companions are? Maybe I’ve seen them before.”

Lia responded, “Lin Da, Lulu, and Monica!”

“Captain Lin Da, huh… Heh, hehe, interesting.”

Hu Er paused and then burst into laughter, tears nearly forming in his eyes.

He smirked with profound meaning, “Miss Lia, I saw it with my own eyes, Lin Da and the others have already left the Dragon Forest and moved to the public Adventure Zone.”

“Huh?” Lia was a bit confused.

“Yes, Lin Da abandoned you, taking Lulu and Monica with him. In his eyes, you’re just expendable, someone who doesn’t matter!”
