My bloodline is so eager to improve.

However, the excited black sheep, while rampaging around, seemed to have raised its combat skills a bit, which helped Otto a lot.

Fortunately, the Moonlit Hound seemed to sense Otto's helplessness and intervened again.

[It declared that even carrying the Magic Ape on its back and supporting the Brown Bear Eagle on one arm, the Moonlit Spirit Hound remains invincible in the world!]

Otto felt overwhelmed watching his animal friends' antics.

He couldn't even imagine what kind of chaos would ensue if a seventh animal friend joined the battle!

"This time, I must choose someone obedient and not cause trouble!"

But then Otto had a new idea: he tried to fill it with the mage bloodline mark he had just acquired.

The result was predictable.

The magical ape showed a look of disdain. Did this curly-haired baboon from the Mage Guild deserve to stand alongside its noble self?

The magical ape devoured the mage's bloodline mark and, incidentally, discarded the barbarian god's aura.

The magical ape attempted to research meteorite manipulation.

The black sheep absorbed the aura of the barbarian god.

Seeing this scene inspired Otto.

"This attack is related to the barbarian god Grak."

Were those who attacked that priest last time also followers of Grak?

Upon hearing Otto's words, Tessa felt it was quite possible.

This little-known tyrant has been making increasingly frequent moves lately, and perhaps the previous incident was part of that.

"But why do they seem so fixated on the priests?"

After much deliberation, the two still couldn't find a clue.

Seeing this, Otto quickened his pace with Tessa, intending to exchange information with the camp's ants.

With that thought in mind, Otto picked up Tessa and ran towards the camp.

Now, Otto's stamina has accumulated by as many as five points thanks to the Moonlit Hound. As for his strength, it has also increased by one point after he became a superhuman, breaking through the five-point attribute barrier!

Therefore, carrying Tessa around was not a difficult task for Otto.

Tessa, on the other hand, looked at the boy in front of her and felt that it was a bit absurd.

This was the first time she had ever seen an adventurer wearing armor and carrying people while running!

"Seriously, is your profession power-oriented?"

No, perhaps there's also an emphasis on physical strength?

Although Tessa could tell that Otto must have taken up some kind of extraordinary profession, she had no idea about his employment system or career path.

Tessa felt as if she were being carried along by a crazed metal beast!

At this moment, if she hadn't learned that Otto was the same age as her, she would have thought he was a monster who had become a second-level grandmaster!

Fortunately, the bumpy ride didn't take too long.

Tessa and Otto finally arrived at the camp before nightfall.

"Um, put me down quickly."

Tessa struggled as she approached the camp.

There was nothing that could be done about it; the way Otto was carrying her was simply too unsightly.

If she could, Tessa really didn't want acquaintances to see her like this.

"Honestly, it would have been fine to just hold him, nothing would have happened!"

Tessa muttered to herself as she and Otto walked toward the camp.

But at this moment, the black sheep became excited again.

[The Black Sheep has brought you intelligence.]

[This priestess has a large bottom; she looks like she'd be great at having children. It's such a waste that she's serving the gods!]

[The Black Sheep was stunned again by the Moonlit Hound.]

Clearly, Otto's animal friends went to great lengths to help him during his intimate moments with Tessa.

But that's why Otto didn't dare bring Tessa over.

He feared that the black sheep would break free from the Moonlit Hound's restraints and go berserk again.

Just as Otto was thinking about how to discipline his animal friends, the two had already entered the camp.

After only a cursory observation, Otto was certain that this was not a comfortable supply station, but rather a steel nail driven into the throat of the strange monsters!

The camp was set up on the edge of the Blackthorn Forest.

The adventurers have cleared a large open area that is about 600 meters long and wide.

The camp is surrounded on three sides by a natural blackthorn wall, with the only path leading out into the forest.

Otto sniffed the air, catching the scents of pine resin, decaying leaves, and the strange aroma of burning firewood.

Clearly, for convenience, the adventurers probably set fire to some blackthorn trees, which is how they cleared a space in a short time.

With that in mind, Otto only allowed Tessa to follow him; they needed to find the person in charge of the camp.

Upon hearing this, Tessa simply nodded.

Her attention had just been focused on the trap zone next to the camp.

The outermost layer is a trap zone that is three meters deep, with the bottom of the pit filled with damp black thorn spikes.

It is likely that not only were forests burned, but also a large number of blackthorn trees were cut down and used as materials for defensive fortifications and traps.

As for those damp marks, Tessa figured they must be holy water stored by the Adventurers' Guild.

Not only that, Tessa also discovered that the pit walls were covered with some ointment that emitted a pungent odor.

These are probably used to drive away monsters.

"It looks like the camp has prepared a lot of defensive measures."

Tessa breathed a sigh of relief after she and Otto crossed the inner earthen wall.

If you're going to be stationed here long-term, then these measures can indeed give you peace of mind.

However, Otto was more interested in the layout of the camp than the defensive buildings.

"How did they build so many houses in such a short time?"

Inside the camp, a huge bonfire stood in the center of the square, serving as lighting.

On the north side is the building that houses the Adventurers' Guild headquarters, and there are similar houses on the other two sides.

If defensive structures can be solved by manpower in a short time, then how were these houses built?

These houses don't look like wooden houses at all!

Just as Otto was wondering, the eagle noticed something was wrong.

The eagle spotted a rabbit plush toy approaching you!

After seeing the prompt, Otto turned around abruptly, and as his gaze shifted downwards, he finally saw the plush rabbit.

"Good evening, kid. Is this your girlfriend?"

She looks quite cute.

The rabbit doll carrying Una's will still speak in that same aloof tone, but Otto could tell that she seemed to be in a good mood tonight, and even the rabbit doll looked somewhat happy.

The rabbit plush toy jumped directly onto Otto's body, causing him to walk towards the barracks on the east side.

“Come on, I’ll take you to find Maika. They’re discussing their upcoming adventure.”

The rabbit doll was in a good mood tonight, and seeing Otto coming over, it even led the way for him.

But just as it approached Otto and Tessa, the rabbit doll uttered a strange question.

"You seem to be carrying something interesting?"

I guess it's a cursed bone.

Chapter Sixty-Two: An Unexpected Promotion (Please Read On)

The rabbit doll, carrying Una's will, expressed her curiosity.

The witch was proficient in all kinds of alchemy, and she could smell an ominous aura on Otto and Tessa as soon as she got close.

"I think it must be some kind of magical artifact made from bones."

These things carry an indescribable curse and are very difficult to detect.

Little girl, you didn't buy your spatial pocket from me, did you?

A pocket without concealment runes is no different from displaying treasures in a brothel.

Just like these houses built using the Anju technique.

If I hadn't added stealth runes, none of you would have been able to rest in peace.

So, would you like to have your space pocket made here?

At this point, Una even started promoting her own business.

Clearly, Una disapproved of Tessa's portable pocket, thinking it was of poor quality and that she could only make her own!

But upon hearing the curse, Otto felt something was amiss and still asked Tessa to bring out the spoils of war.

The bone that bore the mark of the axe, and a necklace engraved with the symbol of the barbarian god Grak.

"Ms. Una, will this curse affect us?"

Although Otto's animal friends didn't remind him about the curse and it probably wouldn't affect him, it would be safer to ask a professional.

After obtaining the bone, Una examined it for a while before giving her answer.

"The curse on the bone is more directed at those who practice this skill."

Your words are just contact; at most, they'll give you nightmares.

By the way, do you know which category this skill belongs to?

Una curiously examined the bone before her. She was not skilled in combat, so although she knew the general idea, she could not discern the specific details.

In response, Otto directly recounted their recent experience and their speculations about the bone.

Una's eyes lit up when she heard it was an axe technique.

"Hehe, you're planning to sell it to Michael, aren't you?"

Young man, how about we make a deal? Let me lend you a hand!

Una felt a burning hatred every time she thought about how Maika had tricked her with that lump.

After a careful examination, Una realized something was amiss.

This thing isn't worth much money at all!

Because the core is damaged, it can only be made into a basic staff at best!

Wu Na still remembers that loss she suffered!

Now that she finally has a chance to get revenge on Mike, Una certainly won't let it go.

Seeing that Una seemed to be planning to help raise the price, Otto was naturally willing to accept.

But Otto was a little confused. How did Una plan to help?

But at this point, Una decided to keep everyone in suspense, simply jumping off Otto's shoulder and directing the rabbit doll to hide to the side.

"You all go in first, leave the rest to me."

Seeing Una's tireless attempts to trick Mike, Otto felt that these two old rivals deserved it!

"Alright, we should go in now."

Otto breathed a sigh of relief and led Tessa into the barracks of the Dragonbreaker squad.
