Chapter 75: 75

Luke's eyes saw it, but his body couldn't react in time.

The purple Magic Sphere hit Luke's stomach with unerring accuracy.

This thing didn't look as formidable as the grand and sun-like Fireball Technique,

but the moment it struck Luke, it poisoned his guts until they turned green.

"Aaahhh!"

A squeal like that of a pig being slaughtered came from Luke's throat.

This Wild Boar Person, known for his tough skin and flesh, was brought to his knees by the unassuming purple Magic Sphere, doubled over in pain and curling up like a cooked shrimp!

Luke only felt an unbearable heat where the Magic Sphere had hit him, as if his flesh was rotting away, his Life Force slowly draining from his body, his consciousness fading.

The Wild Boar People were naturally durable, and Luke, at level 8, had about 1000 Hit Points, a fact he took great pride in,

but after being hit by that ominous purple Magic Sphere, Luke felt that in no more than five seconds, his Life Force would be gone, and he'd die from the poison.

He was not someone Luke could afford to offend!

With this realization, Luke's face went pale, and, forgetting all dignity in the face of life-threatening danger, he scrambled to Lin Da's legs, clutching them and crying bitterly:

"Grandpa, please spare me, I was blind not to recognize a legend, I have the old at the top and the young at the bottom to look after, please, let me go as easily as you would a fart!"

Lin Da was surprised, not expecting this Beastman to lack backbone.

After a brief consideration, pointing to the little white house, he said, "Cancel that girl's debt, and I'll consider it."

At the same time, Monica, who was eavesdropping by the window, covered her small mouth in disbelief, her big eyes brimming with tears.

The last person to treat her this kindly was the team leader!

Luke nodded frantically like a pecking chicken, "Cancel it, definitely cancel it! The remaining Gold Coins, I, Luke, will repay!"

"Alright," Lin Da didn't want to kill someone in Red Heart City and attract the attention of the Law Enforcement Bureau.

Watching Luke's lips turn blue from the poison along with his blank stare, he was on the verge of death.

Too few Hit Points, can't even handle the dosage of a Venom Magic Sphere?

Lin Da shook his head, truly feeling the dilemma of 'throwing a punch at someone and then begging them not to die.' Killing in the city brought too many complications, so he waved his hand and sent over a Primary Healing Spell.

A green +300 popped up over Luke's head.

"This Recovery Amount?"

Luke's lips immediately regained color, and his head cleared up a lot.

With the help of the Primary Healing Spell, Luke's excruciatingly painful body felt a warm flow pour into it, so comfortable he nearly wet himself.

"Continuous Healing."

A green circle of light fell upon Luke. Enjoy exclusive content from m-v l'-NovelFire

+75, +70, +73...

Thanks to the dual assistance of the Primary Healing Spell and Continuous Healing, the blood loss from the Venom Magic Sphere was barely stemmed.

Lin Da felt relieved he didn't throw a second Magic Sphere at Luke, or he truly wouldn't have been able to save him. seaʀᴄh thё nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

But even with his Hit Points fully restored, the external wounds couldn't be healed with Healing Art, as Hit Points were only one indicator of health.

On Luke's stomach, there was a hole the size of a baby's fist, surrounded by flesh that was corroded and emitting a foul smell.

Luke, holding his stomach, looked at Lin Da with a trembling fear and didn't dare show the slightest resentment, saying with a forced smile, "Can I go now?"

"Get lost."

With Lin Da's consent, Luke was tremblingly helped away by two of his subordinates.

"Owner of the little white house, now you should understand, I meant no harm, right?"

Lin Da shouted toward the people inside:

"I've managed to offend the Mandalas, and, though it doesn't sound nice to say, they've taken a grudge against you too now. Sooner or later, they'll seek their revenge.

Leaving Red Heart City and joining my adventure team to make a fresh start in White Dove City is the best choice!

Your friend, Lulu, is also there as a member of the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team."

"Really...?"

A feeble voice, fainter than the flapping of a mosquito's wings, seeped through a crack in the door.

Upon hearing the homeowner's voice, Lin Da's face lit up with joy. His three days of effort had not been wasted!

Only, something struck him as slightly odd—the voice sounded eerily familiar, as though he had heard it somewhere before.

He just couldn't pinpoint where.

"Can you open the door so we can have a proper talk? Rest assured, I, Lin Da, captain of the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team, am not a bad person." Lin Da spoke with the gentle tone one might use to coax a child.

"Lin... Did you say your name is, Lin Da?"

A timid voice, soft as a kitten's, squeezed itself through the gap in the door.

"Yes, I am Lin Da."

"Good child, open the door and let uncle have a look."

Lin Da wondered if the girl on the other side of the door, whose mental and physical age seemed mismatched at 18, could really be so shy—surely even a five-year-old child wouldn't be this timid?

Squeak~

Under his eager gaze, the white door that had remained tightly shut, feigning an empty house, slowly opened a crack.

He lifted his foot, ready to walk in, but... as soon as the door opened a crack as wide as a little finger, it was forcefully held in place by someone from the inside.

"How am I supposed to come in if you don't open it a bit more, uncle can't get through here?"

Lin Da was completely confused.

"Come closer..."

"What?"

"Your face, come closer so I can see... if you're really Lin Da."

The voice on the other side grew softer and softer, almost inaudible if Lin Da hadn't been an adventurer.

He couldn't help but exchange a glance with Kafni.

Both of them began to have second thoughts. Was it really a good idea to recruit someone like this into their team?

Even if the other party was level 15 and had excellent talent, such a personality didn't seem fit for cooperation with the rest of the team.

Yet, having come all this way, Lin Da couldn't bear to walk away without meeting the person, felt reluctant to leave just yet.

He put on a gentle, sunny smile and leaned in close to the gap in the door: "See, doesn't uncle look like a nice guy?"

Peering through the gap, he saw nothing but darkness.

There was no magic light on in the room, and the curtains were drawn, leaving it pitch-black and impossible to make out the person's features.

All he knew was that a delicate figure with an oddly shaped head kept staring into his eyes.

Being one of the rare individuals in Another World with black hair and eyes, Lin Da often attracted attention.

Had the girl inside been drawn to him?

He speculated wildly.

A moment passed, two moments, three moments...

"It's—it's Lord Captain!"

A cry laden with inarticulate sobs and excitement burst from behind the door, and the door in front of Lin Da flew open. A brown figure suddenly flung itself into his arms.

"What's going on, what's happening?"
