Chapter 866: Are you all here to search for the Demon King City too?

The three of them climbed up from the ground and stood in position.

Now, Robb had lost the tight squeeze of the two sisters by his side, feeling a little bit disappointed. But never mind, the smell inside the snakes mouth was really unpleasant. It was good to be out. Not being able to trick a kiss from Suofa was a small regret, but sooner or later, he would achieve it. No need to rush.

He surveyed the situation around him and realized that there were a few more people nearby. A man that was holding a sword and shield, dressed similarly to Gorda, and looked like a defensive warrior. His equipment was quite impressive a full set of mithril armor. This kind of gear made him a wealthy-class adventurer, undoubtedly one of the top adventurers on the Endless Fengmo Continent.

Another female magician emerged from the woods, dressed in a red magician robe just like Xuelu. She had wavy chestnut hair, exuding a wild and free-spirited vibe. In her right hand, she held a staff adorned with gems, indicating high-quality craftsmanship. In her left hand, a small fireball flickered in her palm.

A priest came out from behind, wearing a set of silver-white armor probably silver-plated chainmail. He held a mace in his right hand and a shield in his left. This was an authentic high-level combat priest, reminiscent of Elsies style. Capable of both melee and spellcasting, quite impressive.

Behind them was a hunter and an assassin, forming a team with almost the same professions as Robbs five-member squad.

These five newcomers didnt waste time greeting Robbs group but immediately engaged the giant serpent.

Fire Blast!

Targeted Shot!

Shadow Strike.

The DPS crew simultaneously unleashed their firepower. The giant serpent suffered several hits, visibly injured. It roared angrily at the five, seemingly ready to pounce and bite. However, it suddenly turned and fled into the depths of the forest. Despite its massive size, the serpent was remarkably agile, disappearing quickly.

The five didnt pursue, sheathing their weapons and turning their attention to Robbs party. As seasoned adventurers, their first instinct was to assess and analyze their targets.

Their gazes swept over Robbs group, revealing their thoughts. Upon closer inspection, it was apparent that Robbs party was somewhat lacking.

As it turned out, Robbs party members were all wearing cosmetic gear, meaning their equipment wasnt displayed outwardly.

Robb himself was in a T-shirt and jeans, looking rather unreliable. Xuelu was dressed as a restaurant waitress, far from resembling a magician. Gorda wore a simple villagers outfit, while only Jike and Suofa looked the part with their hunter and assassin attire, giving off an adventurers vibe.

Chris smiled and confirmed, Yes, we are the Skylark Strike.

Gorda, Xuelu, and Jike all showed admiration on their faces. It was evident that this team was quite well-known.

However, Robb and Suofa were completely clueless; after all, they were outsiders to this field.

Robb whispered to Xuelu beside him, Whats the deal with this party?

In a hushed tone, Xuelu explained, This is the most powerful party in the Adventurers Guild. Theyre famous because theyve been active in the Bewitching Gorge for years, always taking the most challenging missions and successfully completing them flawlessly. Theyre renowned throughout the guild.

Robb grinned, Active in the Bewitching Gorge? Then they must be more familiar with this place than us. With them around, our chances of finding the Demon King City should be higher.

The ten individuals walked together.

Although the Skylark Strike party was famous, they didnt carry themselves with too much arrogance. Adventurers were known for their love of freedom and uninhibited nature, and few among them adopted a condescending attitude fostered by large organizational structures. It seemed that mutual assistance during monster hunting in the wild was a common occurrence.

Chris addressed Gorda in a reproachful tone, How exactly did you become the Commander? You should have a clear understanding of your teams capabilities. Leading your members deep into the Bewitching Gorge is quite irresponsible. Even if youre eager to venture to the Demon King City, you should assess your abilities first.

Gorda chuckled wryly, Yes, yes, youre absolutely right.

He quickly changed the subject, Why are you all here? Did you accept some strange mission? What kind of task would lead you to search for the Demon King City?

Chris let out a sigh and whispered, Its a direct commission from the guild. We were tasked with finding the Demon King City and unraveling the relationship between the Church of Light and the demons.

Hmm?

Gorda was greatly intrigued, What is the guild planning to do?

Chris responded with a heavy tone, Were not entirely sure.
