Chapter 205: Chapter 36 World’s Cancer_l

Translator: 549690339

Monroe, Elise, and Link are not blind.

After the announcement on the public channel of their wrist devices appeared, they had a premonition that the situation was going to take a drastic turn, and it would be greatly unfavorable to them.

Without hesitation, they decisively gathered to discuss countermeasures.

Sure enough, before long, shadows began to appear around the mountain basin.

The number wasn’t too high, less than a hundred.

Scattered over such a large area, it was impossible to form a tight encirclement.

At most, they were only blocking the routes and keeping watch.

The danger was substantial, even lethal.

As everyone knows, positions that are easy to defend and hard to attack also tend to be difficult to escape from.

Especially the mountain basins, if you want to escape, you can only cross the river or follow the river downstream.

Crossing the river poses a possibility of successful escape.

But going downstream without rafts would just mean voluntarily delivering meals to aquatic beasts.

However, a small but elite squad was already guarding the other side of the river.

Predictably, the ones leading were the four effeminate men who had been leading the chase against Elise and Monroe all along.

After overcoming the difficulty of crossing the river, they would still have to rush to land, adding difficulty to difficulty.

The possibility of escaping was dampened.

So apart from strengthening defensive works and setting traps, it seemed that

Link and his companions couldn’t do anything else.

The situation abruptly turned dire.

At this critical moment, Link came up with an idea.

That is to abandon defending and dig deep underground, hoping to dig out a tunnel that jumps beyond the encirclement.

Anyone who had used the Secondary Mudstone Technique knew its effectiveness in digging and construction.

This was the only way Link could think of to possibly escape alive.

There was no time to hesitate, and Elise and Monroe, who did not have any other better coping measures, agreed to this plan.

The four small teams managed to gather nine Wizard Apprentices with an affinity for Earth Elements.

To dig such a massive tunnel, they couldn’t rely solely on these nine people. Most of them were First Rank Wizard Apprentices, their spiritual power and magic power were limited, as well as the number of times they could cast magic.

After a certain period, they would have to engage in Shallow Meditation to recover their spiritual power and magic power.

The speed of excavation wasn’t all that fast.

After some thought, Link made another arrangement.

When the nine Earth Element Wizard Apprentices exhausted their power, others would take turns on the stage.

Everyone would do their best to utilize their most advanced attacking witchcraft to hit the earth walls, blasting open one hole after another.

In this way, the people could rest, but the excavation work could not stop. Encountering exceptionally hard stones, they would directly resort to the Self- Destructing Fire Thunder.

They were determined to accelerate the progress of the tunnel excavation by any means possible.

The excavated earth was not transported, instead directly piled up behind them, blocking the tunnel they had come from.

Not only could this obstruct the pursuers, it also eliminated any second thoughts, allowing them to focus entirely on digging.

In the face of desperation, everyone pushed themselves beyond their limits and burst into action.

By the time “Pure Blood Will” rushed forward, blocking the entrance to the mountain basin and ready to launch an attack.

They were almost about to break through the small hill on one side.

Escaping the encirclement was no longer a fantasy, it was on the verge of becoming a reality, barring any accidents.

Just then, those deep underground felt their wrist devices vibrate all at once.

They looked at each other in disbelief.

Had the Faction task been completed?

Who completed it?

Monroe’s eyes filled with astonishment as he looked at Link.

If he had to guess who could possibly complete the Faction task, Monroe’s first suspect would be Link Grande.

Elise Clark immediately followed suit, staring at Link as if he were a coveted toy.

Seeing Elise’s eyes gleaming with desire, Jasmine felt utter disgust.

Jasmine stepped forward, blocking Elise’s line of sight.

“Why are you looking at me?”

Link stared back at Monroe with an open gaze. Under the operation of the “Mind Closure Technique”, both his expression and tone were very natural.

Even a master of micro-expression or a psychologist would not be able to detect any loopholes.

“It was you, wasn’t it?”

Monroe asked directly, sounding utterly convinced, “It must be you.”

Link shrugged, “I don’t know, but I also hope it was me. But I haven’t done anything particularly special.”

He paused for a moment before emphasizing, “We’ve been together all this time. What could I possibly have done? If I had done anything, you would have noticed, right?”

“It must be you.”

Monroe heard and saw that Link’s tone and expression were very open.

But his intuition told him that the one who completed the Righteous Faction task must be Link Grande.

So, he did not listen to any explanations, he was simply not listening. He was convinced that the one who completed the task was Link.

Elise took a step past Jasmine’s barrier, a hint of anger in her voice, “You’re so heartless, not involving me in something fun and flashy. I’m furious!

She, too, accepted that Link was the one who completed the Faction task.

Her acceptance was not only based on intuition, but also because Link had consistently made comments on the Faction channel some time ago.

Even others, including Elise and Monroe, were following the idea of “Destructive Rescue” to complete the Faction task.

Competing for progress, chances were, they wouldn’t be able to outmatch Link, the one who discovered it first.

Moreover, whether or not Link had shared all his findings was still in question. Based on the common human selfishness, it was highly likely that Link had kept some secrets.

“Holy cow! Boss, did we really complete the Faction task?

Buck, who had been stunned by the news on his wrist device, came back to his senses and let out an exclamation of surprise.
