Make me leave the team? My beast girl and I can win easily.

In the "Shark Kingdom" instance.

Lin Yu checked the time: 12 minutes and 50 seconds.

"We can get started now," he said.

After resting, the four members of the team began to walk towards the 4-meter-tall dark figure.

When the Shark King saw the intruders, he was not angry at all; instead, he showed an excited expression.

It opened its enormous mouth and let out a low, hoarse laugh:

"Gurgle... More humans are coming to die... Fresh meat..."

"Begin," Lin Yu gave a brief instruction.

The silver figure shot out like an arrow.

"Duel Order!"

The golden light struck the Shark King's massive body precisely, forcibly establishing aggro.

The Shark King's laughter abruptly stopped, replaced by a furious rage born of provocation:

"Insects... how dare you look me in the eye!"

It brandished its harpoon, creating a whistling sound, and fiercely speared it towards Lin Xue!

-247!

A damage number floated above Lin Xue's head.

Lin Yu unleashed his "Purple Flame Elixir" attack while observing the Shark King.

Its attack power is indeed quite high; a normal attack can deal nearly 250 damage.

The key is that its attack speed is also relatively fast.

If it were a front-line soldier in a regular squad, being attacked like this continuously, they probably wouldn't last long and would have to call for a healer.

But Lin Xue wasn't just an ordinary front-row passenger.

She currently has 30 shield points!

This damage is negligible, barely noticeable.

Lin Ya and Lin Shan also began their attack.

Lin Ya held her hand cannon, using basic attacks in conjunction with skill guidance to stack up the "Precision" stacks.

Lin Shan then used "Fire of Annihilation" to surround the Shark King with a fire blanket.

Suddenly, a strange red light emanated from the Shark King's body—

That's a prelude to unleashing "Harpoon Combo"!

Its expression turned cruel and excited as the huge harpoon drew a powerful arc through the air.

It knew that once it unleashed this skill, the human in front of it would become as fragile as paper!

"Prepare to die!!!"

The shark king's muscles tensed, red light burst forth, and it swung its harpoon with tremendous force, launching a series of attacks!

The first harpoon shot out like a venomous snake, but was blocked by Lin Xue's shield!

-1123!

The second time, the harpoon was retracted, and then thrust out again at an even faster speed!

-2147!

On the third strike, the harpoon traced a perfect arc in the air before crashing down with tremendous force!

-6039! (Critical Hit)

The three damage numbers appeared almost simultaneously!

One skill combo deals over 9000 damage!

"This burst of energy is enough to kill three Liu Huis," Lin Yu commented.

With these three hits, three negative status icons appeared on Lin Xue's status bar:

[Defense Breakdown]: Reduces physical and magical defense by 90% for 10 seconds.

[Damage Reduction]: Damage reduction effect reduced by 50% for 10 seconds.

[Vulnerability Mark]: Increases all damage taken by 100% for 10 seconds.

Three negative states combined!

If they were in the front row of a regular squad, they would have already turned into "Doritos" by now, even if they weren't dead yet.

We must retreat immediately and wait for the negative status to disappear.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to withstand the Shark King's subsequent normal attacks.

Sure enough, after Shark King unleashed "Harpoon Combo", the damage of his normal attacks increased significantly.

It has surged from 247 points to over 800 points!

Each hit deals three to four times more damage than before!

It lives up to its reputation as a bodybuilding enthusiast; it has some strength.

But as Shark King fought, he sensed something was wrong.

Why... is this human still alive?

Not only did she survive, she didn't even try to escape or dodge.

Just stand still and withstand its attack!

The silver shield was held steadily in front of him, and he showed no sign of panic.

Shark King senses the enemy's "health bar" status through combat instinct.

Then, it froze.

That white shield was ridiculously thick!

How is this possible?!

"roar!!!"

The Shark King was enraged.

Undeterred, it launched another "harpoon combo"!

The red light flashed again, and the harpoon thrust out with even greater ferocity!

This time, because Lin Xue still had the negative effects from before, the damage was even more terrifying:

-2176!

-4329!

-6037!

Total damage exceeded 12000!

But Lin Xue remained standing steadily.

She even continued to fight back, leaving the Shark King with sword wounds of varying depths.

You think I'm kidding you, coming here with 30 shields?

You've been playing for so long and you still only have 27 left!

The Shark King was completely dumbfounded.

It has been in this dungeon for hundreds of years and has experienced countless battles, but it has never seen such an outrageous front row!

Moreover, at that moment, a soft silver light suddenly shone from Lin Xue's body.

"Divine Favor" triggered!

All negative statuses are instantly cleared!

The defenses collapsed; it's all gone.

Armor penetrated, gone.

The Vulnerability Mark is gone.

Shark King's touch has completely vanished.

It stared blankly at the human before it, at the despair-inducingly thick shield surrounding her...

For the first time, I felt fear.

"My lord," a glint of light flashed in Lin Shan's golden eyes, "I have an idea, and I request your permission."

Lin Yu nodded: "Do as you please."

The Shark's shield is almost gone, and there's still a long time before it breaks the record.

You can play however you like.

Lin Shan formed a mudra with her hands in front of her chest.

This time, an earthy yellow light appeared in my palm.

"The vastness of the land!"

Earth elemental energy gathered like a tide, surging across the ground around the Shark King.

Rocks shattered, sand churned, and in just a few seconds, a massive mud maze rose from the ground!

The maze is five meters high, with thick walls and a complex network of passages.

The Shark King was trapped in the center of the maze, in a relatively large area.

The constantly shifting sand and gravel on the ground made it difficult for it to move.

But it's not over yet.

Fine cracks began to appear on the walls and floor of the maze.

Dark red flames seeped from the crack and began to spread.

That's the fire blanket left behind by the previous "Fire Annihilation," which is compatible with the earth element!

Flames spread through the labyrinth, covering every inch of the ground and walls.

"Gurgle... What kind of evil magic is this..." The Shark King looked at the surrounding walls of flames in horror.

It tried to attack the wall with a harpoon, but the wall was exceptionally sturdy and thick, and the harpoon could only make some small holes in it.

Moreover, once the wall is damaged, the quicksand on the ground will quickly surge and fill the gaps.

Meanwhile, rock spikes will randomly appear in the maze, suddenly piercing out from the ground and dealing true damage, ignoring shields.

Just as the Shark King was trying to move, four sets of rock spikes burst out from the quicksand beneath its feet!

-3124!

-3278!

-3056!

-3192!

The Shark King screamed in agony, several bloody holes appearing on its body.

In its frenzy, a fierce glint flashed in its eyes, and it launched another "harpoon combo"!

But this time, when it brandished its harpoon at Lin Xue—

The walls of the maze suddenly moved!

A thick earthen wall stood in front of Lin Xue, absorbing the attack!

The harpoon struck the earthen wall three times in a row!

The wall was pierced and rubble flew everywhere, and a small section collapsed, but Lin Xue was unharmed!

Seeing this, Lin Yu's eyes lit up.

He never imagined that "the vastness of the earth" could be used in this way!

Not only can it trap enemies and inflict damage, it can also actively protect teammates!

"Lin Shan, well done!" he couldn't help but praise.

Lin Shan smiled faintly: "It is my honor to share my master's burdens."

At this moment, Lin Xue rushed out from behind the wall, brandishing her long sword and stabbing at the Shark King.

On the ground, quicksand surged again, filling the broken parts of the wall.

The Shark King was utterly desperate.

I can't damage them, I can't escape them, and even my skills are blocked by the walls...

The ensuing battle turned into a one-sided humiliation.

Lin Ya had already stacked 10 layers of "Precision" and was now unleashing her full power.

The Shark King's health bar plummeted.

Finally, Lin Ya's "Heavy Artillery Sniper" took away the last of Shark King's health.

-41228! (Critical Hit)

-70957! (Shockwave Critical Strike)

It has to be said that Shark King is really tanky with its 60% damage reduction.

Even with the most "precise" "heavy artillery sniping" shots, only 11 damage was achieved.

After the health bar is depleted.

The Shark King's massive body crashed to the ground, the harpoon slipping from its grasp and slamming to the ground with a dull thud.

[System notification: The Sharkman King is dead]

[Dungeon Completion Rating: SSS]

[Clearance Time: 13 minutes 38 seconds]

[Item drops being processed...]

13 minutes 38 seconds.

It was 13 seconds faster than the previous national record of 13 minutes and 51 seconds.

This small step forward is nothing to worry about.

More importantly, Lin Yu discovered new uses for "the flourishing of trees" and "the vastness of the land".

At this point, the drop items have been accounted for.

This time, the drop was a level 20 perfect quality shield, which Lin Xue can use.

But Lin Yu's attention was quickly drawn to the following system prompt.

[System notification: Congratulations! Your team has set a new national record!]
