My Disciples are Too Idiotic

Chapter 448 306: Among the Newcomers, I Acknowledge You as the Strongest!_2

Now that the live stream had started, players were also notifying each other to come and see what the situation was like in Lin'an City.

"Damn, what a pretty Glasses Girl! Isn't she more appealing than a female cultivator?"

"I'm not bluffing, but I could take on ten of such glasses girls!"

"Brother South Pole is here, and Junlin and his team are also here. Looks like they're all heading for Lin'an City, huh? Rat Tail Juice is gonna rake it in this time."

"Holy shit, did Brother South Pole just give away a Creation Jade Disc? A 5,000 Contribution Points item, just like that?"

"..."

Rat Tail Juice glanced at the screen, also somewhat surprised. As expected of the game's number one capitalist, Brother South Pole had just given away 5,000 Contribution Points without a moment's hesitation.

"Thanks, Brother South Pole."

Rat Tail Juice then said, "We're currently outside Lin'an City, and we're not sure about the specific situation ourselves. There are some things we can't talk about, so everyone can just watch."

After saying that, he no longer interacted with the live chat. There was no helping it. With Glasses Girl watching, it was better for them to be cautious, just in case. Even if they truly were invincible, they wouldn't do anything overly risky without clear information about the Underground City.

"Little Fish, which Underground City are you heading to?" Rat Tail Juice suddenly asked.

"Ah? I… I'm fine with anything." Little Fish said somewhat nervously, "No one wants to team up with me, so… as long as you're willing to take me, I… I'm fine with whatever."

She had no idea she was teaming up with monsters.

Inside Lin'an City, a Level 20 Water Mage was no different from a useless character. Having someone willing to team up with her was already the best thing that could happen, so she wouldn't dare to hope for anything more.

"Then let's head to the Elf Forest," Rat Tail Juice said, remembering the conversations he had overheard earlier and making his decision.

"What? The Elf Forest?" Little Fish exclaimed in shock. "But… I'm only Level 20. If I go there, I'll… I'll drag you down."

Hearing this, Master Pang chuckled. "Little Fish, what are you talking about? We're very strong. The Elf Forest? Is it really that dangerous?"

Little Fish nodded lightly. "Don't you know? The Elf Forest is a Level 80 Underground City, second only to the most dangerous Mysterious Realm. The elves there are very hostile towards us."

It seemed that when it came to Underground Cities, Little Fish wasn't quite as nervous.

However, Rat Tail Juice still didn't understand how the level system worked here. What level did they, as Tribulation Realm players, equate to here? How strong is Level 80, anyway? To them, all the passersby here look pretty weak.

"Little Fish, that knight over there holding a huge sword, is he strong?" Pillar of Heaven asked, pointing to a silver-armored knight in the distance.

Little Fish glanced over, then quickly turned back to say, "He's Profound Gold Knight Zhao Yuan, a Level 75 adventurer. There aren't many stronger than him in the whole of Lin'an City. However, he's a bad person. It's said that he has humiliated many female adventurers." As she spoke, Little Fish sounded quite indignant, clearly disliking this Zhao Yuan.

Level 75? Doesn't sound much different from Level 80. And he still looks weak!

Master Pang smiled and said, "Is that so? Well, then there's no problem. We'll head straight to the Elf Forest. Don't worry, Little Fish. The four of us are very strong!"

"Ah? A-Alright then." Little Fish was on the verge of tears. All she wanted was to go to some simple Underground Cities to level up; she'd never dreamed of going to the Elf Forest. Without a high-level protector, going there was a certain death sentence. How could she be so unlucky? To think she had found a few newcomer adventurers, yet they were heading straight for the Elf Forest! Should she find an opportunity to slip away quietly?

Rat Tail Juice stood up and said, "Let's go. We'll head over first and see what this Underground City is all about."

Under his lead, Master Pang and the others—along with an utterly regretful Little Fish—walked towards the Elf Forest.

The entrance to an Underground City looked similar to a Teleportation Array. Different Regions had different entrances, and at each entrance, there was a sign displaying the name of the Underground City.

Just as Rat Tail Juice and his team arrived at the Elf Forest entrance, Zhao Yuan and his group also led a team over. They were all Level 70 adventurers, each exuding a powerful aura.

But to the players, they were just so-so. Level 70 seemed no different from trash in front of those in the Tribulation Realm.

Zhao Yuan and his group glanced at Rat Tail Juice and the others but paid them no mind, instead striding confidently into the Underground City. A moment later, Rat Tail Juice and his team also followed them in.

The sensation was like teleportation—the world spun around them. Soon, however, what appeared before them was no longer the original forest but an endless, glowing forest sea, dotted with specks of faint light.

"Holy crap, is this a dungeon within a dungeon?"

"So the Elf Forest is actually a dungeon? Does that mean there are a bunch of dungeons inside Lin'an City?"

"Now I'm really curious about this Lin'an City. Rat, can you share your exact location? I'll buy a Teleportation Array right now to come and link up with you!"

"I'll cover the Teleportation Array! Just take us to see this Underground City first. I'm really curious now."

"..."

The players watching the stream were also somewhat stunned. Meanwhile, they were outside, frantically clearing out the anomalies, surrounded by desolate scenes stretching as far as the eye could see. Then they looked at where the others were: birds singing, flowers fragrant, and even a lovely Glasses Girl for company. It looked for all the world like they'd gone on vacation!

Could the gap between people really be this huge?

SWOOSH—

Suddenly, a green arrow shot through the forest, heading straight for Rat Tail Juice and his team.

THWACK!

Master Pang raised his hand and effortlessly caught the incoming arrow, then turned to look in the direction of the archer. "Interesting. They're attacking us before we've even drawn aggro?" Master Pang looked at the arrow in his hand and smiled.

Little Fish had already turned pale with fright. That was an arrow shot by the Elf Race! If it had hit her, she would have certainly died. But... this plump adventurer was amazing! He could effortlessly catch an arrow shot by an elf. Could they really be that powerful?

"Fatty, send it back to them," Pillar of Heaven sneered. "It's impolite not to return a gesture. And we are people who always repay kindnesses."

"That makes sense!" Fatty nodded. He then shouted towards the spot in the forest where the ambush came from, "Sending you back a big one!"

As he spoke, he quickly formed a hand seal. The arrow in his hand began to sprout leaves and branches, rapidly growing and expanding.

"Wood Escape—Great Tree Spire Technique!"

The original arrow had transformed into a massive wooden pillar, which Fatty now held casually above his head with one hand. The next moment, to Little Fish's utter astonishment, the pillar shot from his hand, flying straight towards the ambushers' location. Its speed was even greater than the arrow that had just been shot at them.

But the power...

BOOM—

In the Elf Forest, an earth-shattering explosion awoke the slumbering trees. Where the pillar had landed, dust plumed into the sky, actually forming a mushroom cloud as a terrifying shockwave swept out in all directions.

Little Fish's eyes widened as she watched the scene, frozen in shock. Eh? What kind of skill was this? If it was used a few more times with such power, wouldn't the Elf Forest be destroyed? So powerful! What kind of formidable beings had she encountered this time?

"Not bad, Fatty. You've really gotten a handle on Wood Escape."

"Hey, this is nothing. My Wood Escape still can't compare to Half-Leaf's; his has reached a transcendent level, like attaining Buddhahood. I'm still far behind."

"Among the newcomers, when it comes to Wood Escape, I, Pillar of Heaven, would call you the strongest!"

"Alright, alright, enough with the mutual praise," Rat Tail Juice cut off their exchange of praise. "Let's head deeper in and take a look. I'm quite curious about that Life Spring Water."

He then strode forward with his hands behind his back, Master Pang and the others following closely.

"Little Fish, don't just stand there stunned," Master Pang called back with a smile when he noticed she hadn't caught up. "Follow us; you'll be perfectly safe!"

"Ah? Oh! Yes, okay!" Little Fish snapped back to her senses and, clutching her Magic Staff, hurried after them…
