85: It's harder than I thought, the fairies are dancing wildly!

The sunlight piercing through Fairy Island refracted into beams, and countless flying Fairies darted through the trees.

The entire island seemed bright and sunny, but in reality, dangers lurked everywhere.

"The Fairies here certainly live up to their name of being 'Fairy-like,'" Xiao Qianqian remarked.

Led by Xiao Qianqian, everyone advanced towards the center of the island at an extremely fast pace.

However, the sheer density of monsters along the way exceeded everyone's imagination.

Fairy monsters were divided into two types: male Fairies and female Fairies.

Male Fairies had sturdy limbs, well-developed muscles, greenish-blue skin all over, double wings on their backs, and scales covering their bodies.

They were rugged and ugly in appearance, with formidable combat strength.

Female Fairies had slender limbs, petite figures, light green feathered robes, butterfly-shaped wings, and beautiful appearances, excelling in Spell attacks.

Both male and female Fairies were visually striking.

"Everyone, don't get bogged down in combat. Disengage quickly. Our goal is the Fairy Instance Dungeon."

"When we can avoid monsters, try to avoid them to prevent combat!" Xiao Qianqian urged thoughtfully.

Now was not the time to admire Fairies; they had to quickly enter the center of the island.

They had just stepped onto Fairy Island, and this was still the outermost area.

Looking into the distance, everyone could see a towering ancient tree hundreds of meters tall at the center of the island.

The Fairy Instance Dungeon was located right in the heart of this colossal ancient tree.

The scope of the entire Fairy Island was much larger than imagined. More than a dozen teams landed simultaneously, and within a short time, the shadows of other teams were no longer visible.

As the number two seed team, Xiao Qianqian knew very well that they couldn't waste any more time here.

They had to strive to be among the top two teams to clear the nightmare difficulty dungeon.

As everyone ran, the monsters in the dense forest were also attracted.

The male Fairies bared their fangs, revealing bloodthirsty glints in their eyes.

The female Fairies licked their lips, emitting seductive whispers.

Everyone knew in their hearts that regardless of their appearance, these Fairies were not benevolent creatures.

Hiss!

Just as everyone was hurrying along, several male Fairies darted out of the forest, roaring at the group.

Charge!

Xiao Qianqian reacted extremely quickly, directly activating the Knight's signature Charge skill.

A golden Knight phantom appeared in front of the team, its hooves thundering, holding a sharp longsword, and charging rapidly.

The male Fairies did not dodge or evade, meeting the Knight's Charge head-on and rushing towards the team.

Xia Qi's Insight skill simultaneously landed on the male Fairies.

[Fairy Warrior (Male)]

[Rank: 25]

[Strength: 350]

[Agility: 200]

[Intelligence: 200]

[Physique: 350]

[Skills: None]

Looking at the attributes, they were considered standard for a Rank 25 monster.

They were not powerful, and they had no skills.

Such wild monsters didn't require Xia Qi to act; Xiao Qianqian alone could handle them.

As expected!

The power of the Charge was extremely formidable. The male Fairies were directly knocked back over ten meters the moment they made contact with the Knight phantom.

Several surrounding trees were broken by the aftershocks of the impact.

With such a powerful attack, the Rank 25 male Fairies simply couldn't withstand it and were killed by the Charge in a single encounter.

One of the stragglers, not yet dead, struggled to get up.

Bang!

A fireball flew out, and Li Pengfei casually delivered the finishing blow.

Amidst a wail, the male Fairy was completely burned to death by the flames.

[Killed Rank 25 Fairy Warrior, Experience +3000]

[Xiao Qianqian obtained Fairy Tail x1.]

[Killed Rank 25 Fairy Warrior, Experience +3000]

[Xiao Qianqian obtained Fairy Scale Armor x1]

Xia Qi also received a notification that several male Fairies had been killed.

Because it was a six-person team, the experience value was not high after being evenly distributed.

Xiao Qianqian was the captain, so the ownership of the items also belonged to her.

However, this Trial was not for leveling up, so Xia Qi wasn't too concerned about these things.

After quickly dealing with the male Fairies, the commotion caused by the battle attracted even more Fairy monsters.

Xiao Qianqian no longer lingered in combat and continued to lead the team forward.

Along the way, as they got closer to the central great tree, the number of monsters increased.

Their Ranks were also gradually increasing, with Rank 28 monsters already appearing later, taking some time to eliminate.

After eliminating several Fairies, Xiao Qianqian looked towards the giant tree in the center.

It looked very close on the surface, but in reality, there was still a considerable distance.

"At our current speed, it will take us at least another hour to reach the base of the giant tree."

"Climbing the giant tree will also take some effort. This speed is too slow."

"Next, Zuo Mei, you are responsible for controlling the monsters. We will speed up our progress towards the dungeon."

No matter which route they took, the monsters along the way were very difficult to deal with.

Xiao Qianqian decided they couldn't be delayed by monsters any longer and would proceed at full speed.

Zuo Mei nodded. She was a healer, but she had also learned a few control skills, so it was not a problem.

Next, the team accelerated their pace.

When they encountered monsters again, Zuo Mei directly used her skill to control the Fairies' movements.

Imprisonment Aura!

Energy dispersed, and rings of energy light enveloped the monsters, quickly imprisoning them.

However, the skill's duration was only about ten seconds, so everyone needed to run out of the monsters' aggro range within those ten seconds.

For average Rank 25 elites, ten seconds was more than enough time to run far away.

As a result, the team's travel speed significantly increased.

In less than twenty minutes, everyone could already see the towering giant tree close at hand.

However, at this time, other teams had already arrived at the base of the tree and were clearing out the Fairies there, preparing to ascend the tree.

"Damn it, other teams got ahead of us!" Xiao Qianqian gritted her teeth. She had a competitive spirit and seeing other teams in the lead made her anxious.

"We'll charge straight through, Zuo Mei, do you think you can manage it?"

Zuo Mei shook her head, "There are too many monsters. I'm afraid I can't control them all."

"These monsters are already close to Rank 30, so the success rate of control skills is also relatively low."

Normally, if the monster's Rank is higher than the professional's, control skills can fail.

The greater the Rank difference, the higher the chance of failure.

Of course, this was under normal circumstances.

But no one knew that there was a person with an SS-grade Luck talent hidden within the team.

"Let's try it. We can't let other teams get ahead," Xiao Qianqian said, frowning as she looked at the dense monster horde.

If the team ahead was from War God Academy, that would still be acceptable, but if it was a foreign team, that would be absolutely unacceptable.

In short, Xiao Qianqian did not intend to let the other party easily pass through to the dungeon.

Charge!

The golden Knight phantom appeared again. Zuo Mei gripped her staff tightly, beginning to pray inwardly.

Her control skill must not fail!
