“Big Rock, your gear is decent and your armor is adequate, but your endurance is a little low. I suggest using an endurance scroll for later; otherwise, you might not be able to hold up.” Li Yao only addressed Big Rock last.

“How could it not be enough? I rushed here just from the dungeon. I had no trouble handling monsters in elite mode, and I wasn’t in any danger.” Big Rock rebutted discontentedly.

Li Yao frowned. “Who told you we were going to play in elite mode?”

“If we’re not going to play in elite mode, then it must be normal mode. Come on, bro, don’t joke around.” Big Rock’s eyes flashed with contempt.

“Brother Sea, the tank you found seems to have a few screws loose. Can I request to change him?” Instead of responding to Big Rock, Li Yao turned to Sea Shepherd.

Pfft…

The few women all laughed.

Sea Shepherd was helpless. Normally, Big Rock was the most obedient. Why was he acting like this today?

Sea Shepherd has a magnanimous personality and a vast heart. Naturally, he’s unaware that players from big guilds are often arrogant. They usually hang out together, as members of the same guild, so they don’t show it often.

“Big Rock, can you pose fewer questions and just focus on being the main tank (MT)?” After addressing Big Rock, Sea Shepherd then said to Li Yao, “The thing is, Big Rock is the best MT I could find. I wouldn’t be able to find a better one if you asked me to switch.”

“The key is to use your brain. Big Rock can’t handle that. I’ve been talking for so long, being so strict, yet he didn’t realize that I was planning to launch into the Master difficulty. Can you expect him to cooperate as the main tank?” Li Yao spread his hands.

Big Rock was about to go ballistic and sarcastically fire at Li Yao, but when he heard that Li Yao was planning to break into the Master’s difficulty, he suddenly froze and stuttered, “W-what did you say? You’re exploring the Evil Cave in the Master’s difficulty?”

“No shit, why else would I have been yammering on for so long?” Li Yao waved his hand. “Alright, do as I told earlier. Ten minutes should be enough.”

Those who were named returned to the city to rummage around for equipment in their warehouses. Even Big Rock, in a daze, returned to buy an endurance scroll.

The Evil Cave is a gathering place for evil creatures recently discovered by the Rogge Camp. It is said that they sense an intense evil lingering there. The Rogge Camp has sent numerous mercenaries, but all have disappeared without a trace.

For this reason, the Rogge Camp issued missions specifically to adventurers, hoping that powerful ones could investigate or resolve the threat of the Evil Cave.

When Li Yao and his party were teleported to the Evil Cave, countless players had already gathered.

“Evil Cave, normal difficulty, need MT and Healer, damage dealers in place.”

“Exploring the Evil Cave on elite level, any class will do, preferably experienced players who won’t quit after dying once.”

“Evil Cave, MT and Healer in place, need two ranged DPS, no Hunters or pets.”

“Looks like the situation is still not optimistic for Hunters,” Feng Yi said.

“There’s nothing we can do, it’s not something we can change overnight.” Li Yao was also helpless; his current influence was very limited, and at this stage, it’s a fact that most players don’t play Hunter well.

“Let’s go get the mission.” Li Yao led everyone towards a small camp, next to the Evil Cave.

“I don’t think that’s necessary. We have asked people about it; it’s just a minor quest for a little experience. It’s a waste of time.” Big Rock said.

“Oh, you’ve taken the quest. Tell us what the quest description says.” Li Yao responded.

“I already told you it’s a minor quest, completely worthless.” Big Rock answered grumpily.

“As I said, his brain just isn’t working.” Li Yao muttered, then greeted a Rogge member, “Hello, I’m an adventurer from the East Continent. Can I help you with something?”

“Brave adventurer, thank you, but your power is too weak, I’m afraid you can’t help me.” The female Rogge Mage shook her head.

“My personal strength is indeed weak, but I have many partners. Our combined strength is formidable, and we are here specifically for the Evil Cave, if there’s anything you need, just say it. If we can help, we definitely will. Even if we really can’t assist you, it won’t affect you, right?” Li Yao patiently explained.

“You’re right.” The female Rogge Mage lifted her head, “A month ago, my sister and I explored this cave. We went through various dangers and reached the depths of the cave. But we encountered a powerful corpse named Anger. My sister, in order to save me, led it further into the cave alone. Since then, we’ve had no news of her. If possible, I hope you can find her, even if it’s just her body. If there’s any news, I’ll definitely repay you. By the way, my sister’s name is Anna. She’s a skilled archer.”

“Ok, I will keep an eye out. We will go to the cave now. Is there anything we need to be cautious about?” Everyone was ready to go but Li Yao was still asking questions.

The female Mage paused before responding, “Those creatures are extremely sensitive to light and heat. I hope you’ll be careful.”

“Thank you.” Li Yao bowed and left. After checking with the rest, there were no other quests, so Li Yao led everyone towards the cave.

“I told you, it’s just some simple quests. You still insist on wasting time.” Big Rock snorted.

“But I think I’ve gotten a very important piece of information.” Li Yao replied.

“What information? I didn’t hear anything useful. Keep bragging.” Big Rock ignored Sea Shepherd’s glance.

“That’s why I say your brain is useless. If you could figure it out, what would we need me as the commander for?” Li Yao said, walking into the cave.

Everyone followed with laughter. After entering the cave, it was pitch black. Even the elves, who possessed night vision, severely had their visibility reduced in the starless cavern.

Sizzle…

Big Rock lit a torch, illuminating a section of the cave.

“Heh heh, I’m well-prepared, right?”

Li Yao nodded seriously and said, “Indeed, very well-prepared. Big Rock, lead the way.”

“Cough cough, I’m not the main tank, why do I have to scout?” Big Rock asked.

“Didn’t you come straight from the dungeon? You should be familiar with it.” Li Yao replied.

“Um, we just entered the dungeon and fought a wave of monsters…”

“Alright, you’re holding the torch, you’re going to have to scout.” Li Yao said, “Otherwise, you can give the torch to Fruit. She can scout too.”

“I should do it. After all, I have more experience.” Big Rock suddenly didn’t feel good about it. He wanted to prove his strength.

“Healers be ready, standby anytime.” Big Rock, holding the torch, walked in front. Fruit Knight and Sea Shepherd followed close behind, starting to explore this desolate, gloomy cave…

ps: Not getting enough monthly tickets, I need your help. Today’s updates have been going back and worth all day, quite painful.
