Chapter 974: Chapter 330: 3S-Level Missions and the Odd Behavior of the Brave Team
[Merfolk Pearl Flower]: The Merfolk Pearl Flower is a peculiar Spirit Plant that typically grows in the extremely cold regions of the deep sea, requiring a large number of Merfolk Pearls to be buried for it to mature.
Effect: Level 9 Spiritual Item, this flower rarely blooms, but once it does, the fragrance attracts a large number of Demons. Just touching it provides immense healing effects and purifies internal impurities. Consuming it can bring the dead back to life, heal bones, and detoxify poisons.
The Merfolk Pearl Flower appears as a radiating red blossom, with a jet black Merfolk Pearl at its center.
According to the Clan Leader of the Mermaid Clan, the place where this flower grows is not only rich in Magic Power but also requires the burial of numerous Merfolk Pearls and corpses of the Mermaid Clan.
Its growth rate is extremely slow and rare, making it exceptionally precious.
"I’ll take it, and I’m giving you this Deep Sea Demon Whale. Do you need me to deal with these Demons?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"No, no need, Brave One. These Demons are friendly with our Mermaid Clan, and we will share food with them." The Clan Leader of the Mermaid Clan quickly replied, though there was a strange expression on his face.
"If that’s the case, I’ll take my leave first," Mu Rufeng said, quietly putting away his phone.
After completing the recording, it was time to leave. Seeing the Mermaids had made Mu Rufeng quite curious, so he took out his phone to record and photograph them.
A day had passed, and Princess Mumu Star had likely already returned to the Royal Capital.
...
Mu Rufeng’s travel speed wasn’t fast, but not slow either. In about an hour or so, Mu Rufeng returned to the Saint Dis Capital.
Upon arriving, Mu Rufeng saw that the badge of his Brave Team was glowing.
Mu Rufeng curiously took it out of his pocket.
"Magic Brave, you’re finally back. Hurry to the Royal Palace, we need to meet the King," a pleasant female voice sounded.
"Who are you?" Mu Rufeng asked.
The badge is quite nice, able to connect with team members. As for the distance, it’s probably about ten miles, I guess.
"I’m You Lili, the Healing Brave," the female voice said.
Healing Brave, Mu Rufeng guessed, should be the Priest, the Brave who heals and buffs.
"Hello, I am Mu Rufeng, the Magic Brave. Where are the others? Are they all here?" Mu Rufeng said.
"Hmph, we’re all waiting for you. Why are you wandering around the city instead of staying put? We’ve been waiting for you all day," a young male voice said, filled with discontent and arrogance.
"Stop wasting time, get to the palace gate," another impatient female voice said.
"Alright, alright, we’re all teammates, don’t talk in such an unfriendly manner," a familiar voice spoke.
Mu Rufeng recognized it as Princess Sun Mumu, the first Princess of Saint Dis and also the War Brave.
When Mu Rufeng joined the Brave Team, he learned that the male voice should be the Sword Brave, Yuliao.
Meanwhile, the Sword Brave Yuliao and Healing Brave You Lili are siblings, the legitimate son and daughter of Duke Yuris.
The other impatient female voice should be the Arrow Brave, Tian Moli.
Yes, the Arrow Brave, wielding a bow as the team’s ranged attacker.
"I’m already in front of the palace. What about everyone else? Why haven’t you arrived yet?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"Hmm? You’re already there?"
"So fast?"
"Then wait."
Shortly afterward, the other three Braves arrived hastily.
Their arrivals were quite flashy. For instance, the Sword Brave came directly riding his sword, wearing mighty armor and a handsome face.
You Lili cast Flying Magic on herself, flying over with starlight surrounding her, which was quite dazzling.
And the Arrow Brave Tian Moli rode a Griffin to reach.
"Are you the Magic Brave?" Yuliao looked at Mu Rufeng dismissively.
Mu Rufeng glanced at Yuliao, too lazy to respond.
Beside them, Tian Moli said coldly, "You’re a Magic Brave and you’re not wearing a Magic Robe, but armor instead? And carrying a greatsword? Where’s your Magic Wand?"
Mu Rufeng still didn’t respond, instead asking, "When are we going in?"
"I’m talking to you, didn’t you hear me?" Tian Moli’s tone grew colder.
Mu Rufeng continued to ignore her, striding toward the Royal Palace.
"A mere commoner, how dare you have such guts, it seems you need a lesson," Tian Moli said, immediately drawing a bow and shooting an arrow at Mu Rufeng’s ankle with no hesitation.
However, before it could get close, it was shredded by the invisible aura surrounding Mu Rufeng.
Mu Rufeng stopped, turned to look at Tian Moli, then glanced at Yuliao, and finally set his eyes back on Tian Moli: "Do you want to fight with me?"
"A filthy commoner becoming a Brave is already lucky for you, and you still dare to show attitude," Yuliao said. "Today, you kneel before me, or don’t blame me for being rude." Before Tian Moli could speak, Yuliao’s right hand slowly gripped the hilt of his longsword at his waist, clearly disliking Mu Rufeng’s expression.
"Brother, Sister Tian, don’t do this, we’re all Braves, fighting among ourselves isn’t good," You Lili quickly intervened to stop them.
"Sister, step aside a bit, don’t worry, with your healing ability, no one will die," Yuliao smiled, looking at his sister.
"This... alright, but don’t hit too hard," You Lili said, stepping back a few paces before looking at Mu Rufeng. "Mu Rufeng, don’t be impulsive, let them beat you a bit, I’ll heal you, it won’t be dangerous, just a little pain."
Mu Rufeng looked at You Lili in surprise.
He initially had a good impression of You Lili, but now it seems, ha, they’re all trash.
