Chapter 169 148. Crazy monster farming, Leader Level Magical Creatures appear
```
"The rock-level squad has finally arrived."
The overseeing Imperial Knight breathed a sigh of relief as his hanging heart finally settled down.
"But, which rock-level squad is this, and why haven't I seen them before?"
"It's the Phoenix Tail Flower Team." Finch wiped the blood from his face and said, "I recognize their captain, the Eye of True Knowledge, Lin Da!"
"The newly emerged Glorious Adventurer?" The Imperial Knight was startled, as if something dawned on him, suddenly enlightened.
But he was still puzzled; to his knowledge, the captain of the Phoenix Tail Flower hadn't yet reached level 20.
Why did their combat strength seem no different from someone at level 20?
Finch was also curious about this.
He stared intently at the unremarkable long sword in Lin Da's hand.
When it struck the Murderous Crab's carapace, it sliced through like a hot knife through butter, making one wonder if Lin Da could slice the creature in half with a casual throw of the sword without even trying hard.
The magic power radiating from it was exceptionally strong!
"Probably because of an extremely good weapon combined with Lin Da's high ability points. That's why the Murderous Crabs seem like weaklings that he can kill in a few strokes!"
Finch secretly pondered.
Lin Da's reason for dealing high damage was almost what Finch had thought.
First, Lin Da's own attributes were high.
863 Dual Attack points, which is about the same as a normal level 20 Swordsman.
Secondly, the Azure Sword's 40% additional damage against aquatic demons was too handy.
In front of this sword, a level 15 Murderous Crab was no different from being made of paper.
Shortly after the Phoenix Tail Flower Team joined the battlefield, they completely reversed the situation in this area.
The Murderous Crabs retreated steadily, buying time for the adventurers to regroup.
"Phoenix Tail Flower, awesome!"
Many people noticed Lin Da and called out excitedly.
The appearance of a powerful adventure team brought hope of victory to everyone.

The Murderous Crabs also noticed the three thorns of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team and dispatched dozens to surround them.
Lin Da and his teammates stood back to back against the enemy, silently calculating the hit points of the Murderous Crabs:
Level 15 Murderous Crabs generally had around 3000 health. With a little more than two normal attacks, he could slay one.
If he used the skill Venom Eruption...
This skill dealt quadruple damage.
Even after reducing the Murderous Crabs' 50% slaughter resistance, the damage could still reach 3000.
Lin Da and Monica exchanged glances, nodding in understanding without words.
"Venom Eruption!"
"Earthquake Technique!"
The Venom Eruption hit the Murderous Crabs' carapace as if pouring a pot of hot oil on them, and the creatures let out an extremely piercing hissing noise.
Their carapaces corroded, darkening their flesh.
Lin Da's strike instantly killed six Murderous Crabs.
On the other side, Monica's output was even more terrifying.
This Big Lolita had higher Magic Attack than Lin Da, plus, earth system was the weakness of the Murderous Crabs, adding 50% more damage.
Plus the 10% from Lin Da's Captain's Aura.
Monica's innate skill Glass Cannon further increased the damage.
Essentially, whatever skill Monica released, if it even grazed a Murderous Crab, its health points would immediately drop to zero.
As the Earthquake Technique was launched, the ground in a huge fan-shaped area right in front of Monica began to shake violently. From the cracks that opened up, a large spread of earth spikes emerged.
Pupupu!
In Lin Da's field of view, there were dense red -5000s everywhere.
The 'screen full' of damage numbers was truly exhilarating.
Lin Da even felt like he was still a player, controlling Monica.
Under one Earthquake Technique, more than thirty Murderous Crabs perished.
Half an hour later.
The corpses of Murderous Crabs piled up like mountains.
The adventurers, excited, raised their bloodied swords in victory cheers.
In their hands, they all wore the recording rings distributed by the Imperial Knights Order to keep track of the number of Murderous Crabs they had killed.
Before the Phoenix Tail Flower Team arrived, the total number of adventurers in this area was over three hundred, and combined, they had only killed about two hundred Murderous Crabs.
After the arrival of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team, this number tripled.
```
Monica alone took down three hundred Murderous Crabs!
The girl's pale, delicate fingers were adorned with a recording ring, with the number displayed reaching 302!
With one Earthquake Technique, Monica could wipe out twenty or thirty Murderous Crabs.
Even a minor skill like the Earth Spear Spell could take out one at a time.
It was like a large mower entering a field of leeks, effortlessly harvesting swathes with eyes closed.
Lin Da was not far behind.
The number displayed on his recording ring was 107.
Most of the Murderous Crabs had fallen to his Normal Attacks.
The greatest advantage of Magic and Martial Dual Cultivation was enduring strength, Normal Attacks saved a considerable amount of Magic Power.
Lin Da, gripping the Azure Sword, could slice a Murderous Crab in half with a casual swing.
This wave alone caused his Mystical Points to skyrocket.
A string of system notifications piled up in his panel.
Slaying Murderous Crabs could earn 150 Mystical Points.
However, during the event, there was a double points bonus.
Therefore, the total Mystical Points Lin Da reaped amounted to a massive 32,100!
Adding to his accumulated 9,267 points, the total was 41,367.
The experience bar for a level 16 Healing Hero was 1,000/40,000, just 39,000 shy of leveling up.
It meant he had earned enough Mystical Points to go up a level in just half an hour!
This rate of leveling was even faster than climbing the World Tree Secret Realm.
"Continue the hunt!"
Lin Da excitedly gripped the Azure Sword, charging at the next Murderous Crab.
...
With the inclusion of Phoenix Tail Flower, the pressure on the adventurers in the area dramatically lightened.
The number of Murderous Crabs dwindled rapidly, with every five adventurers ganging up on one.
Finch stayed amidst the crowd, envying Lin Da's silhouette in the distance.
A year ago, they were adventurers on the same level.
In such a short time, he could only look up to Lin Da.
As for the big shots in the distance, Finch didn't feel much, but witnessing someone who had been at the same level as himself suddenly grow to unreachable heights caused a mix of emotions in his heart.
"The captain of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team, I know him, we've fought side by side before!"
While fighting, Finch bragged about his past experiences to the adventurers around him.
This earned him envious looks from the others, and the favoritism of the Overseeing Knight: allowing him, a Swordsman, to rest in the rear for the time being. Enjoy new adventures from empire
By then, Finch was content.
Perhaps one day in the future, he and Lin Da's team would have the chance to fight alongside each other again.
The story of Lin Da's rise from an ordinary Healer to prominence deeply inspired Finch.
The sword in his hand felt lighter!
"Aooo!"
Finch yelled in his heart, cheering for the Swordsmen fighting ahead of him.
He needed a good rest, his Battle Qi was nearly exhausted.
Suddenly, a powerful magical creature's aura appeared from the front.
The retreating Murderous Crabs, as if injected with adrenaline, now had red eyes, fearlessly charging at the adventurers again.
Everyone's faces turned pale.
It was a Leader Level skill: 'Inspiration'!
Under the Influence of Inspiration, magical creatures of the same species would fight to the death, carrying out the leader's orders unquestionably.
"Phoenix Tail Flower Team, we're counting on you!"
The Imperial Knight shouted earnestly.
Capture the king first.
The Leader Level magical creature had to be eliminated first!
Lin Da nodded in acknowledgment.
Defeating the Leader Level magical creature in this area was precisely the Phoenix Tail Flower Team's goal.
He, along with two teammates, headed towards the source of the aura!
