Chapter 33 Warcraft Cubs
The team worked together to defeat the giant winged bat and gained a large amount of experience points.

lv.4（27/175）——lv4.（147/175）

A total of 120 experience points were gained.

Zell scratched his head.

Not bad, it provides 30 more experience points than the Giant Slime.

But that's not enough for an upgrade...

Suddenly, my experience points jumped up a little more.

从lv.4（147/175）变成了lv.4（157/175）

The kill notification that popped up in the panel was for a [Giant Winged Bat Hatchling].

Zellier couldn't help but look up.

High in the tree, thick smoke still billowed, and the faint screams of the cubs could be heard coming from the nest.

"Should we go up and clean it up?" Zelil said.

"Absolutely, a cub costs fifty silver coins, and keeping it around would only cause trouble."

Vales put away his longbow. "I'll take care of it."

“I’ll go with you,” Zellir volunteered.

He was terrified that he wouldn't gain enough experience.

Gray leaned against the tree trunk, took off his boots, and then sat down.

His calf had just been cut, and Marcus took out his first-aid kit to stop the bleeding on Gray.

"Be careful, don't let the big ones get tricked by the small ones while you're dealing with the big ones."

"Don't worry," Vales waved his hand.

The ancient tree chosen as the nest by the giant winged bats was extremely tall, with the closest branches reaching seven or eight meters above the ground, but this posed no problem for Vales.

He took a few steps back, then took a short run-up and used the momentum to push off the tree trunk several times.

Vales sprang upwards, grabbed a drooping vine, and began to climb with all his might, quickly reaching the top of the first branch.

The whole process was smooth and effortless, full of a sense of lightness.

In comparison, Zellir is much more unpretentious.

Instead of attempting the high-difficulty parkour moves like those of Vales, he used the most primitive method of free climbing.

The trunk was not smooth; there were many cracks in the bark, enough for Zellier to grip firmly and move upwards little by little.

Although he was a mage, his years of farming had given Zellir a very solid physique.

Moreover, the original owner had climbed trees and raided bird nests quite often in the past, so muscle memory still existed.

The two successfully climbed to the thick branch where the giant winged bat's nest was located. The branch was wide enough for two people to walk steadily.

The closer Zell and Vales got to the lair, the stronger the strange smell emanating from inside became.

A strong wind, carrying a stench of burnt branches and leaves, undigested rotting flesh, and some other pungent smell, swept over us, making us wrinkle our noses and cover our eyes.

The nest was very rudimentary, with many branches crisscrossing haphazardly, barely holding it together to prevent it from falling apart.

Moreover, some areas on the outskirts are still burning, emitting thick, choking smoke.

As Vales was considering whether to change direction to avoid the burning part, a water balloon hit the nest directly.

The fire immediately subsided considerably.

Vales turned to look at Zell with some surprise.

If he remembered correctly... Zellir displayed two new spells in today's battle, right?
One is a control spell that can hinder the movement of giant winged bats, and the other is the water ball spell from earlier.

He has far too many skills.

After Zellier fired three or four more water balloons, the flames were finally extinguished completely.

The two climbed up to the nest and stood on the edge looking down.

Inside, there was a thick layer of animal bones and fur. In the center of the nest were four giant winged bat chicks, about the size of turkeys, covered with only sparse black down.

Beside them lay a small creature that had already been burned to death. The giant winged bat chicks huddled together, emitting threatening "chirp chirp" sounds at Zell and Vales.

“She’s really ugly…” Wallace’s eye twitched slightly.

Suddenly, the largest of the giant winged bats spread its wings and leaped more than a meter high, opening its mouth to bite Zelier!

"call out!"

A cold light flashed.

Zellier casually drew his rapier from his waist and slashed.

Blood splattered as the giant winged bat hatchling was cleaved in two while still in the air, the two chunks of flesh falling to Zeril's feet.

Then he unleashed another wind blade technique, swiftly and decisively eliminating the remaining three giant winged bat hatchlings.

lv.4（157/175）——lv.5（22/200）

Upgrade successful!

Zellier continued with his previous stat allocation strategy, distributing all four attribute points to Intelligence.

Power: 65
Agility: 61
Constitution: 68
Spirit: 71
Intelligence: 74-78
Perception: 30
Charm: 47-48
Luck: 41
Talent skills:
Techniques and evolution.

The magic flowed more smoothly within Zellir's body, and the complex and intricate structures of those spells seemed to become clearer.

I wonder if this improvement in intelligence will be enough to break through that threshold?

After dealing with the four giant winged bat hatchlings, Zellier and Vales extracted the magic cores from their bodies, then climbed down the tree.

On the other side, Marcus also began collecting loot.

Besides the magic core inside its body, the giant winged bat's wing membrane is also quite valuable.

Lightweight, flexible, and with tear resistance comparable to several layers of tanned cowhide, it is an excellent material for making leather armor and can also be used to concoct potions.

“This time, the compensation will be split in a 3:3:2:2 ratio. I’ll share 3 with Zellier, and you, Vales, will share 2 with Gray. Is that alright?” Marcus said.

In the battle to eliminate the giant bats, Marcus took the lead and drew their fire throughout, making him undoubtedly the main tank.

Zellir also played a very important role.

The Heavy Pressure spell provided the team with the opportunity for the first round of focused fire, the Wind Blade spell also had considerable output, and the Fireball spell could be used to attack the nest, forcing the Giant Winged Bats into a final battle.

“Okay.” Vales nodded.

Gray had no objection; he gave Zelil's shoulder a firm squeeze.

"Wow, Zelier, you've improved so quickly in such a short time. In a while, we might not be able to help you hunt the monsters you're looking for."

“How could that be?” Zellier smiled demurely.

……

The setting sun was held back by the mountains, and strands of its afterglow poured down, turning the clouds a deep red.

At the entrance of Creek Valley Village, a group of people, led by Village Chief Bart, were anxiously awaiting the results.

Their gazes were fixed on the entrance to the dense forest, their faces filled with unease.

What happened to the adventurer team that entered the dense forest area?

"It's almost dark, why... why haven't they come back yet?"

A woman holding a child asked in a trembling voice, "I hope nothing bad has happened."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Village Chief Bart scolded in a low voice, "Stop talking such discouraging words! They are warriors of the Adventurers' Guild, you must believe in them!"

Even so, Village Chief Bart's hand still gripped his cane tightly without him noticing, his knuckles turning white.

His level of nervousness was no less than that of others.

"Look! What's that?"

A sharp-eyed boy pointed to the shadows at the edge of the woods and exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing the sound, everyone turned their gaze in that direction.
