My bloodline is so eager to improve.

Maika called to Tina to prepare to light a campfire so they could study the weaknesses of these fine black vines.

As for Otto, Michael simply reminded him not to forget to offer sacrifices to the Goddess of Light and to replenish his moonlight during the night.

Upon hearing this, Otto simply nodded and immediately took out the beeswax to begin the sacrifice.

Otto never forgot about the sacrifice; he was just conducting an experiment.

However, the locals probably couldn't understand this idea at all, so Otto didn't explain it much.

As Otto pondered this, the aroma of beeswax gradually began to waft around him.

He closed his eyes, held the beeswax in his hand, and began to chant the name of the Goddess of Light.

This time, the familiar sense of disorientation followed one after another.

With the disappearance of the beeswax, Otto's sacrifice was finally successful.

After confirming that his magic had not been lost, he went to the campfire, observing Maika and Tina's experiment while absorbing the moonlight.

Maika's experiment was simple: he planned to cut the fine black vines and throw them into the campfire to see what would happen.

The moment a small piece of black vine was thrown into the campfire, something strange happened.

All that could be heard was the crackling sound coming from the campfire!

The three of them went closer and were surprised to find that the small section of black vine had quickly turned to ashes along with the sound!

"It seems that this newly appeared monster is indeed afraid of light and heat."

Otto, prepare the power of your ring as soon as possible; it will be a powerful weapon against this monstrous creature if needed!

Michael naturally recognized the sunstone on Otto's ring; he probably needed some sunlight to replenish the energy of that cone.

That's why Michael suggested taking a night's rest.

Adventurers' adventures are not about reckless charging, but rather a path paved by a combination of wisdom and courage.

Michael patiently shared his adventurous experiences with Otto, not wanting to waste a single second.

For a moment, Michael talked about a lot of things adventurers should pay attention to, as if he wanted to pack all this knowledge into a package and stuff it into Otto's head.

Even Tina, who was standing to the side, could sense that Michael's words and actions seemed to convey a certain urgency.

As the one who received the knowledge, Otto naturally sensed it as well.

"Is it because of that ancient artifact?"

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Cries for Help in the Woods

Otto reasoned that since Mika had entrusted Una with the investigation and research, the whereabouts of that ancient artifact must be very important to Mika.

They were on the verge of finding the ancient artifacts, but the Shattered Dragon Blade team was now in disarray, so it's no wonder that Maika was getting anxious.

However, Otto did not inform Michael of the information at this time.

Keep in mind that their sugar daddy, Tina, was sitting right next to them.

After all, the other party was an outsider, and Otto did not want to leak information to anyone outside the Dragonbreaker Blade squad without consulting Michael.

Fortunately, before Otto could remind him, Michael seemed to realize that he was getting a little impatient.

He quickly ended the conversation, arranged the order of the night watch, and then went to rest.

That night, the three of them took turns keeping watch, and they didn't encounter any trouble.

By the next morning, Otto could feel his Golden Yang Honey Core Ring was getting slightly warm.

Clearly, the Golden Sun Honey Core Ring has begun its recharging process and will likely be usable again soon.

As for Otto, his Moon Essence was fully replenished last night, and he can unleash the Azure Moon Battle Technique at any time.

After a night's rest, Otto was fully recovered and would not panic even if he encountered a similar dangerous situation again.

While Otto was checking his condition, Michael and Tina had already packed their bags and were ready to set off.

The formation is the same as yesterday.

Tina continued to use her tracking technique, while Michael and Otto stood beside her, keeping watch.

Guided by the tracking technique, the three of them rushed into the depths of the dense forest in one breath.

But the deeper you go into the forest, the thicker the fog becomes, and even the morning sunlight has difficulty penetrating.

Upon seeing this, Maika immediately used whatever materials were available to make torches.

With a few soft murmurs, a spark appeared in Maika's hand and lit the torch!

"Here, let's each take a torch and keep watch."

Michael immediately handed the torch to Otto, while Tina, standing to the side, looked on with curiosity.

"Not only that roaring combat technique from yesterday, you're even skilled in magic?"

Tina's organization, Skywing, is a huge organization that also includes dwarves like Maika.

However, there are only a few dwarves who can use both combat skills and magic at the same time.

Tina was very puzzled. Why would a strong person like Michael be willing to stay in a small town like Oak Town?

But Michael didn't respond to Tina's question; he just shrugged and offered a casual explanation.

"Many races possess the innate combat skill of War Cry."

As for the campfire spell, it's just a zero-level spell, nothing special.

If you wish to learn, I can teach you; each lesson will cost one silver Thorn.

Michael learned the campfire spell from Una, which cost him a lot of silver Thorn, and he had no intention of teaching it for free.

But Otto, standing to the side, muttered to himself, "Just as I thought."

The dwarf's roar yesterday, which was like a mental shock, was indeed a combat technique.

Otto had no idea that it was actually a dwarf's innate combat skill.

Considering what Michael said earlier about being able to handle treatment, it seems this seasoned adventurer has many more tricks up his sleeve.

Putting everything else aside, Otto has yet to see Michael demonstrate any combat skills related to that giant axe.

"Is this the advantage that comes with racial differences?"

Otto is not yet clear on what the drawbacks of such racial gifts will be, but at least for now, dwarves do have more advantages than ordinary people in adventures.

No wonder Maika became the captain of the Dragon Slayers.

But just as Otto was pondering this, something unexpected happened.

"Help, help me."

"Quick, run!"

A strange sound suddenly came from the woods, accompanied by the whimpering of a baby.

Seeing this, Maika suddenly shouted to stop the two.

Michael looked at Otto and shouted sternly.

"Otto".

Upon hearing the call, Otto immediately understood and activated his Lamplight Eye.

Real-world practice is always the best way to develop teamwork.

After several adventures, Otto and Michael have become inseparable teammates.

With just a call, Otto knew what he had to do.

He looked up and gazed at the source of the sound.

Three wisps of scarlet mist were seen gradually approaching.

"Twenty paces to the right front!"

As soon as Otto gave the location, Tina immediately drew her bow, raised her hand, and shot the arrow.

Unfortunately, the crimson fog did not dissipate; instead, it accelerated!

"Defense!"

Otto sensed something was wrong and immediately prepared to defend himself.

Maika then raised his giant axe and stood in front of the two as a human shield.

Immediately afterwards, a howling forest wolf smashed into the axe head of the giant axe!

Otto discovered that the Howling Wood Wolf had raised black marks resembling blood vessels under its fur.

Its throat moved slightly, emitting a baby-like whimper!

Immediately afterwards, two more crimson wisps of mist gradually approached.

Those were the remains of two adventurers!

Their bodies were already rotting, but their throats were still shaking.

"Help, help me."

"Quick, run!"

The bizarre scene made Tina feel nauseous.

But she quickly explained to the two of them.

"They are not my brothers!"

Tina could tell that the two men's faces were rotten and they had obviously been dead for a long time. Moreover, they looked to be middle-aged men and could not possibly be her younger brother.

As for how they started moving, Tina did notice some clues.

"The black veins that have appeared on their bodies are essentially the same fine black vines we saw yesterday!"

Having confirmed her goal, Tina was ready.

She lifted the arrows she had hastily made the night before and placed them on the torch.

The arrowhead ignited instantly, accompanied by a whooshing sound, and Tina's burning arrow struck the Howling Forest Wolf in the head, piercing straight through its brain!

Just as Tina had guessed, the Howling Wolf died instantly the moment its brain was destroyed.

Seeing this, Otto followed suit. While Michael was restraining the two corpses, he swiftly swung his sword and used Azure Moon to directly destroy their skulls.

At this moment, the surroundings finally quieted down again.

Otto discovers that moonlight also seems to be a powerful tool for destroying vines!

Unlike Otto, who had made new discoveries about the moonlight, Michael seemed preoccupied.

Looking at the two corpses lying on the ground, Maika said solemnly.

"When we were on the outskirts, we encountered nothing more than a pack of wolves with the alpha wolf under control."

Now, as we delve deeper, similar situations seem to be becoming increasingly serious.

Maika felt that the strange monster was too dangerous, and they needed to be more careful.

At this moment, Otto and Tina discovered a new situation.

"Over there!"

Tina discovered that the tracking technique seemed to be pointing to a stone cave not far away.

Otto's Eye of Light is also coming into play.

When Otto looked at the cave, the blue and red misty phantoms almost filled his entire field of vision!

Chapter Thirty: The Evil Shadow of the Cave

Otto suspected that what was there was not only the members of the Flower Fairy Wings, but also the true form of the strange monster!

Once Otto realized this, he immediately shared all his guesses with his teammates.

Michael made a quick decision and decided to go check it out immediately.

"I'll clear the way."
