147: Rita and Senna

Chapter 147: Lieta and Sena

Dick and his group listened in the wooden house, all feeling a bit speechless, especially the rough men who even started crying profusely as they spoke.

“Master, when are we going to make a move? I can't stand it anymore. Those guys just peed next to my feet...”

Kun was furious, his voice trembling slightly. As a dignified Mid-Grade Three-Attribute Primal Demon, when had he ever been so humiliated?

Dick was a bit speechless and said casually, “The time is not right yet, let's wait a bit longer.”

It's just a little pee, right? What's so unbearable? Kun clearly spent over a hundred years as the 'Ancient Tree of Witnessed Love' in the Academy before.

Suddenly, Duncan said, “The Adventure Squad from the Youth Group will be here soon. If you have anything else to do, resolve it quickly.”

“Eat what you should eat, drink what you should drink, relieve yourselves...”

The few people nodded in response, preparing to relieve themselves at the base of the tree. Seeing this, Kun couldn't help but tremble slightly throughout his entire tree body.

Peeing is one thing, but they're even defecating...

“Be steady, don't mess up my plans, or I'll make you soak in the cesspool every day when we get back!”

Dick reprimanded him sternly. He didn't indulge Kun at all; as his slave, he absolutely could not disobey any command.

“Yes, yes, Master...”

Kun responded through gritted teeth, but in his heart, he wished he could tear these five people apart with his bare hands.

Several more hours passed, and neither group made any moves, both patiently waiting.

“They're here!”

Duncan and Donald spoke simultaneously. Both were High-Grade Archers, with vision far surpassing ordinary people, and they had spotted someone approaching the Fourth Floor entrance early on.

“Heh heh, it's them...” Dick let out a meaningful cold laugh, his eyes full of mockery.

The arrivals were from the Youth Group, and they were acquaintances Dick knew – the Firebird Squad who had committed robbery on the Second Layer.

At that time, they had stopped a squad and demanded a Level 30 Beast heart as the condition for checking in on the Second Layer. The Firebird Squad's captain, Lieta, was a hot-tempered Holy Knight who had smashed one person to death with her shield on the spot.

Unexpectedly, after they had robbed others before, they were now about to be robbed by others.

Although the five members of the Firebird Squad were powerful and could firmly rank in the top ten in the Youth Group, similarly, the five people currently in ambush were also terrifyingly strong and could firmly rank in the top ten in the Adventure Group.

Both groups were in the top ten, but the Youth Group and the Adventure Group were two completely different tracks and could not be compared.

This was like comparing the top performers in university with the top performers in elementary school; the levels of both sides were completely different. This Firebird Squad was in for some trouble.

Strangely, however, an unfamiliar squad was following behind the Firebird Squad. They only had four people, and their strength wasn't high, with an average level of only 25.

Dick focused on observing the squad following the Firebird Squad, but after watching for a long time, he didn't find anything particularly special.

In the Championship, cooperation between squads was very common. As long as the benefits were sufficient, even jackals and tigers could conspire together.

It was just that Dick couldn't understand why the Firebird Squad would bring along a burdensome squad?

Soon, Dick raised an eyebrow and discovered a young girl among the four named Sena. The [Recent Encounters] in her identity information were strange.

This Sena was actually also Fama's illegitimate daughter. Just like Colin, whom Dick had killed before, she was also here to search for the longevity divine medicine.

How did this Lieta end up with Sena?

Looking at the five burly men nearby who were eager to make a move, Dick took a deep breath. He didn't plan to act yet but chose to continue waiting for the right opportunity.

All five of Duncan were the most professional adventurers, with extremely strong counter-attack abilities.

If there wasn't an optimal moment to strike, Dick would continue to wait patiently. He wanted to take down the five of Duncan with the lowest possible casualties and the most efficient means.

As for why Dick changed his mind and chose to kill the five of Duncan? That was naturally because of money.

With just a simple observation, Dick calculated that the total value of the equipment on the five people exceeded a million gold coins, and that didn't even include the things in their backpacks and magic bags.

The more he looked, the more satisfied Dick became. This delivery that came right to his doorstep was something he shouldn't refuse; after all, it was just a matter of convenience.

At the same time, Lieta and Sena's group had already passed through the entrance of the Fourth Floor, entering the ambush range of Duncan and the others.

“Captain, do you think we're the first Youth Group squad to reach the Fourth Floor?”

Listening to the question from the team member behind her, Lieta pursed her lips, unable to hide her inner excitement, and chuckled softly, “It's very likely. After all, it only took us less than two days to pass through the Third Layer...”

Lieta felt that their luck was absolutely explosive. Except for being intercepted by Dick on the Second Layer, everything else had been smooth sailing; they were practically a chosen squad.

Previously, after the Firebird Squad failed in the Beast heart robbery, they hadn't walked far when they encountered a weak Beast that had just reached Level 30.

Immediately after, they hadn't walked long on the Third Layer when they encountered Sena, who claimed to be 'Fama's illegitimate daughter', in front of a large river.

Sena said she possessed the map of the Underground City and could kindly share it with the Firebird Squad, but the condition was that they had to help them cross the river.

Unlike Sena's weak squad, the Firebird Squad had a reasonable lineup, each person was very strong, and they had many ways to cross the river.

With a mindset of giving it a try, Lieta agreed to Sena's request. After helping them cross the river, they actually obtained the map of the Underground City.

Not only that, but Sena also proudly stated that she knew the check-in conditions for the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Layers, which for a time made Lieta find it hard to believe.

But after traveling together for a while, the Firebird Squad indeed didn't encounter any more traps. The route provided on the map was clearly a true safe route.

By this point, Lieta had completely believed Sena's identity as an illegitimate daughter.

Out of consideration for social obligations, Lieta promised to escort Sena's squad to the Fifth Layer and assist them in searching for the so-called longevity divine medicine potion.

With this kind of 'connected person' accompanying her, Lieta felt that this Championship was already stable. Not only could she win the Championship, but she could also gain favor from important figures in the guild.

When luck comes, you can't stop it...

“Captain, after winning the Championship, should we go and see the Toya Empire? I want to find a wife there and get married...”

Thwack!

Before the team member beside her could finish speaking, a bloody hole appeared between his eyebrows, and then he fell heavily to the ground with lifeless eyes.

Lieta's eyes widened. Before she could even feel anger, she immediately rolled aside to dodge. Subsequently, several sharp arrows shot 'swish swish' into the spot where she had just been standing.

“Damn it, it's an enemy attack!”
