Chapter 23

In the mountainous forest area to the east of the human main city, at the entrance of the副本毒蛇洞穴 (Toxic Snake Cave), the three main members of the Red Women's Army guild were already standing at the entrance: the guild leader Red Moon, the main rogue Red Blood Seal, and the mage Red Dust Rain.

Red Moon was a defensive warrior, wearing a set of heroic light armor. Her confident smile made people feel a natural liking and trust. Red Blood Seal was a woman in her thirties, a few years older than the guild leader. She was a rogue, dressed in a set of black leather armor, with a somewhat gloomy appearance, but her sweet smile made her a high-class older sister. The last one was the cold and icy beauty Red Dust Rain. Each of the three women had their own charm, adding a beautiful scene to the bustling entrance of the dungeon.

"Rain, did Water really bring that expert, Awesome Brother, over?" Red Moon confirmed again. Last night, she heard that Water had accompanied an expert to rob and had brought back over 20 gold, which surprised her. She didn't know what to do with the money at first, but after reading the forum posts, she finally understood. Although it was a bit strange that Awesome Brother wasn't short of money, he still gave half to Water. She accepted the money, as she was the guild leader, and such a sum would greatly benefit the guild's development. Besides, he was pursuing Red Dust Rain, who was part of their guild, so giving some money was necessary.

They had planned to clear the Toxic Snake Cave today. The guild's main hunter, Red Ribbon, was already level 14, just a bit away from level 15. They originally planned to level up Red Ribbon to 15 in the morning and then clear the dungeon in the afternoon. However, they received a message from Red Water Drinking in the morning, saying she had brought the expert and asked them to gather at the dungeon entrance.

"That little girl," Red Dust Rain was a bit angry. Yesterday, she had promised not to look for that pervert, but today she pulled this stunt. Thinking about it, her cousin had been unusually obedient yesterday, which was clearly planned.

"President, don't worry. He's pursuing Sister Rain, so he must have come enthusiastically," Red Blood Seal suddenly smiled and said.

"Second Sister, you..." Red Dust Rain stomped her foot in frustration, all because of that pervert. How could she explain this now?

As they were talking, they suddenly heard Red Water Drinking's clear voice from a distance: "I'm here! I'm here! Sister Moon, Sister Blood Seal, Cousin, I've brought him! This way, this way."

The three women turned around and indeed saw Red Water Drinking leading a young man in a set of cloth armor rushing over. His appearance was hard to describe.

Seeing the three women in front, Li Huailin was slightly stunned. Wasn't he supposed to be surrounded by a large guild? It didn't feel like it. Did he come too late? Was the issue already resolved?

"This is Awesome Brother, right? I'm Red Moon, the guild leader of the Red Women's Army. Nice to meet you," Red Moon stepped forward naturally, extending her right hand for a handshake.

"Oh, hello," Li Huailin also extended his right hand for a light shake, smiling inwardly. The guild leader of the Red Women's Army also had a name starting with 'Red.' He had guessed right.

"My name is Red Blood Seal, the vice president," Red Blood Seal didn't intend to shake hands but introduced herself.

"My name is Li Huailin, you can call me Huailin," Li Huailin introduced himself. "By the way, wasn't your guild surrounded by a large guild? What happened? Where did those people go?"

"Large guild?" Red Moon was taken aback. "There was such a thing?"

After a moment, the three women understood and immediately turned their eyes to Red Water Drinking: "Water!"

"Cough, cough..." Red Water Drinking immediately hid behind Red Dust Rain. "Sister, your husband is very concerned about you. As soon as he heard you were surrounded, he rushed over and said he would cut those people into eighteen pieces."

Li Huailin was speechless. He understood too. He had been tricked by this little girl. He had been so focused on how to die that he hadn't thought much about this. He had been careless.

"Oh, he rushed over as soon as he heard you were surrounded," Red Blood Seal said with a mischievous smile to Red Dust Rain.

"Ah, this..." Li Huailin was also taken aback. He had come to provoke a large guild, but now it sounded a bit ambiguous.

Even Red Dust Rain felt embarrassed, blushing and stepping back.

"Sorry, Huailin. Water said you were helping us with the dungeon, but I didn't know you were tricked into coming," Red Moon said apologetically.

"Right, husband, let's do the dungeon together. It will be fun with you," Red Water Drinking immediately bounced out. "And you'll have more time to be with my sister, which is a good thing."

"Dungeon..." Li Huailin thought for a moment. "Is the experience in the dungeon good?"

"The experience from the monsters in the dungeon isn't much, but you get a large amount of experience based on your evaluation at the end. It should be quite a lot, but we mainly need the equipment. We're not considering the evaluation for now," Red Moon said frankly.

"Hmm..." Li Huailin hesitated, not answering immediately.

"Ah, sister, you should persuade your husband. He'll definitely come if you ask," Red Water Drinking said, seeing Li Huailin's hesitation.

"Right, persuade him. The guild needs your strength," Red Blood Seal continued teasing.

"This..." Red Dust Rain thought for a moment, then looked at the guild leader Red Moon, who was waiting for her response. She bit her lip, "Hey, pervert, come with us."

Li Huailin was still considering the pros and cons. He thought that since he couldn't level up (die) now, he might as well explore. He could catch up after seven days by joining two guilds. Besides, leaving now wouldn't be appropriate. Hearing someone say "come with us," he immediately said, "Okay, let's go."

"Oh~~~" Red Blood Seal exclaimed, "You two... have something going on..."

"I..." Red Dust Rain, flustered, immediately said to Li Huailin, "Why did you agree?"

"Huh?" Li Huailin was taken aback, replying casually, "If you like, you agree."

"Oh~~~ like~~~" Red Blood Seal found the key words again.

"You!" Red Dust Rain glared at Li Huailin and turned away, not speaking.

"Alright, alright, you two lovebirds, can you do the dungeon first and then talk about your love?" Red Moon couldn't resist teasing them.

"There's nothing... he..." Red Dust Rain was flustered, wanting to explain but unable to.

"Right, right, let's do the dungeon," Li Huailin, also quite troubled, quickly changed the topic. "Let's go, let's go, finish it quickly."

"Wait..." Red Moon stopped Li Huailin, who was about to enter the dungeon. "Huailin, are you going to do the dungeon with that equipment?"

"Huh?" Li Huailin was taken aback, then looked down at his beginner's set. "This is the only equipment I have. What else can I wear?"

"Ah? That's all you have? Didn't you rob over 20 gold yesterday? Where did the money go?" Red Blood Seal couldn't help but ask.

"Equipment for me..." Li Huailin almost said that he would lose his equipment if he died, but quickly changed his words. "I'm so awesome that I feel like I'm bullying the monsters. If I wear equipment, I'd be too embarrassed to fight them."

"Huh?" The four women were taken aback. Such a reason.

"Don't worry, watch me," Li Huailin said confidently and tried to enter the dungeon again.

"Wait!" Red Moon stopped him again.

"What now... President..." Li Huailin turned around.

"You haven't formed a party yet..." Red Moon was even more worried, seeing that Li Huailin had forgotten to form a party. Was he really an expert?

"Oh, forgot." Li Huailin had never formed a party before, not even when robbing with Red Water Drinking. "You form a party with me."

System prompt: Red Moon invites you to join a party. Do you accept?

Yes

System prompt: You have joined a party.

"Ah? Level 12?" A chorus of exclamations followed.
