My bloodline is so eager to improve.

I wish to tell you about our executioner, the god of law and judgment, Callum.

Just as Tessa was about to begin her missionary work, Otto asked her a fatal question.

Do you deliver eggs?

Otto used to receive eggs every day when he listened to that old woman preach in the village.

He didn't want to just listen to Tessa nagging all the way for nothing; that would be too much of a loss!

Otto's words, however, infuriated Tessa.

She immediately raised her hammer and was about to smash it at Otto.

"Go live with your eggs for the rest of your life!"

The three of them set off, making a ruckus.

Gordons made no attempt to stop the two.

He finally understood why Havel and Michael always had that indescribable smile when they watched him and Lillian mess around back then.

However, after leaving the valley, Tessa no longer clung to the idea of ​​preaching at this time. After all, she had time to go back and find a more suitable opportunity.

Of course, I'll have to bring eggs next time.

Tessa was very frustrated. She hadn't expected that Callum was less attractive to Otto than an egg!

And so, the three of them, still making a ruckus, gradually made their way towards the cave area.

Around noon, Goren successfully found a cave, and the foul odor emanating from it indicated that the tamarisk bats were hiding inside.

With this in mind, Goren immediately told the two to get ready.

"Let's begin the hunt!"

Chapter Eighty: New Victims

Following Goren's orders, Otto and Tessa each took action.

Tessa deliberately slowed down the rhythm of her chanting, trying to grasp the rhythm of releasing the Shield of Law, ensuring that every second of this crucial defense was used in the right place.

As for Otto, he immediately murmured the name of the goddess of light in his heart.

The lights gradually lit up.

But at that moment, Tessa noticed that a golden-orange glow was gradually emanating from Otto's eyes.

Clearly, as Otto's level increases, the performance of the Eye of the Lamp has gradually changed.

This is not uncommon; blessings grow as the blessed person grows.

Just like Tessa, in the past, Tessa's Shield of Law could only be applied to one person.

But now, under extreme conditions, Tessa can directly apply the Law Shield to all five people simultaneously for a short period of time.

Tessa thought that Otto's Lamp Eyes should have undergone similar changes.

While Tessa was pondering, Otto had already begun using his Lamp Eyes to observe his surroundings.

With the help of the Eye of Light, Otto discovers that the cave is shrouded in a black mist, and he must be very careful.

In addition, some scarlet mist was drifting deep inside the cave.

Otto guessed that it was possible that the miasma had lingered in the area for too long and had given rise to some kind of curse.

Thinking of this, Otto immediately reminded him.

"The whereabouts of the kangaroo bat are unknown, but there is a slight curse here. Let me clean it up first."

As Otto spoke, he carefully began to use the Soul Purifying Flame.

A wisp of flame ignited in Otto's hand as the spell was released.

The faint light in his hand slowly spread out, clearing away the scattered curses around him.

Meanwhile, Goren patiently reminded the two of their mistakes.

"As mentioned before, the nests of tamarisk bats have extremely poor visibility, and they are adept at hiding and ambushing, as well as using sonic attacks, so be careful."

But before Goren could finish speaking, the sound of some creature flapping its wings came from deep within the cave.

Seeing this, Goren was the first to go forward.

He strode forward, his fists suddenly bursting forth with a chilling light. The force of his iron fists exploded, and a fierce chill instantly swept across the entire area!

The swirling frost condensed into a fine ice net, instantly freezing most of the approaching shadow.

The monsters that were originally diving at high speed were suddenly imprisoned by the frost, their movements stopped in mid-air, their attacks forcibly suppressed in an instant, and they fell to the ground.

Only now did Otto finally see what the kangaroo bat looked like.

Just like we saw in the monster encyclopedia before.

The tamarisk bat looks very much like a larger version of a common bat.

Unlike ordinary bats, it has exceptionally sharp claws that gleam with a metallic sheen, and a large pouch on its abdomen.

Occasionally, a bloody smell would emanate from it, clearly the scent of the kangaroo bat's prey.

After being blocked by the ice net, these tamarisk bats became increasingly agitated. Some of the unrestrained bats opened their mouths wide and released sonic shocks in an attempt to disrupt the bats' breathing.

At the same time, accompanied by the flapping of the kangaroo bats' wings, more and more curses surged and pounced on the three of them.

But it was at this moment that Tessa took a half step forward, raised her hammer, and chanted the last syllable of the Shield of Law.

After yesterday's advancement, Tessa's understanding of the Shield of Law has become even more refined.

Three small, semi-transparent shields were placed in front of the three of them.

The sonic shocks collided violently with the Shield of Law, canceling each other out and causing no harm to the three of them!

This defense disrupted the kangaroo bats' rhythm, and Otto seized the opportunity to attack from the flank. He used the Iron Wall Breathing Technique, his long, steady breaths flowing through his body, and his power surged forth once more.

He spurred Blackhorn Ram, slamming the two kangaroo bats against the wall, and then immediately ended their lives with his iron sword.

The three of them have become increasingly adept at teamwork during these past few days of adventure.

In no time, the three men had killed all the kangaroo bats in the cave.

Goren roughly counted and found that there were about seven adult koala bats and more than a dozen young ones that had been killed.

"Although this colony of kangaroos is not large, we should still be able to gather enough material."

At Goren's command, Tessa and Otto work together to dispose of the kangaroo bat's carcass.

The three of them did not emerge from the cave until the next morning.

Goren looked at the materials in his hand and sighed helplessly.

"Although there are only two complete sets of wing membranes and native sacs, it should be enough."

Because of the ferocity of the quokkas, Goren did not hold back. The ice destroyed most of the quokkas's original pouches, resulting in a smaller harvest this time.

However, they collected a lot of material on this trip, far exceeding their expectations.

"That's the adventure. Sometimes what you gain along the way can far exceed your original purpose."

As he spoke, Goren led the two back the way they came.

Although we didn't encounter any major problems during this period, it still took us two days to get back to the camp.

When Goren returned to the camp, he was surprised to find that the camp appeared to be undergoing demolition work.

"What happened?"

Goren recalls that normal camp activities usually last at least a month.

It took them less than a week to go back and forth, so why is it being demolished now?

Goren, curious, stopped an adventurer to ask about the situation, only to learn that no one in the camp had seen the carnivorous vine recently.

Therefore, the Adventurers' Guild concluded that the threat of the flesh-eating vine had been eliminated and immediately cancelled the camp activities ahead of schedule.

This answer left Goren somewhat bewildered.

He had originally planned to return and give the data on the kangaroo bats to Una before venturing into the forest again.

I didn't expect it to end so quickly.

Fortunately, the barracks of the Dragonbreaker are still there.

The three quickly returned to the barracks.

Although Maika and the others had left, they did not immediately dismantle the barracks, so that Goren and the others could have a good rest when they returned.

The three of them enjoyed a hot shower in the barracks.

Almost a week later, Otto was finally able to sleep on a soft bed again.

This was originally a pleasure, but just as Otto's consciousness began to fade, the familiar dream returned.

That grumpy raven is here again.

Otto was very depressed after seeing the crow.

"I'm already investigating, please don't rush me!"

Otto has just returned and doesn't know the progress of Michael's investigation yet, so it's difficult for him to report any useful information to the divine messenger.

But at that moment, the crow stood beside Otto again, covering his eyes with its black wings.

At this moment, an unfamiliar field of vision appeared once again.

But unlike last time, what appeared before Otto was a broken sickle and the lifeless body of a young girl!

Chapter 81 Return

Otto did not know the girl.

Judging from her robes and the sickle beside her, the girl should be the priestess that Phyllis mentioned before.

"Did she die too?"

Otto's tone was somewhat heavy, but not unexpected.

He believes that this series of events is inextricably linked to the followers or retinue of the savage god Grac.

The adventurer party to which this priest belonged happened to stumble upon a treasure bearing the mark of the barbarian god Grak, making it seem like a trap.

Unfortunately, when they set off, the Adventure Guild had no knowledge of the barbarian god Grak. By the time they gathered information, it was too late.

Therefore, the priest's death was something Otto had anticipated.

As for the person who saw the girl in front of him, Otto guessed that she must be a member of that squad.

After all, the Goddess of Light is one of the kingdom's main deities, and she has a large number of followers.

With this in mind, Otto tried his best to remember the scene before him, searching for useful clues.

It was at this moment that the original owner of this field of vision seemed to see something.

That must be the real culprit!

A familiar hooded figure staggered toward the girl's corpse, a shard of a sickle still embedded in her shoulder!

The black miasma was being continuously dissolved by this silvery-white fragment, clearly causing some kind of damage, which led to the opponent's unstable posture.

Just as Otto was pondering, the crow retracted its wings and then circled above his head, emitting sharp, eerie cries.

"Believers of the light, may our Lord be with you."

As the raven proclaimed its declaration, Otto suddenly opened his eyes.

Looking at the sunlight streaming in through the window, he felt a heaviness in his heart.

Although he had elevated his superhuman level and possessed more and more means and power, Otto still found these unknown enemies extremely difficult to deal with.

"It all depends on what information Michael can find out."

Otto let out a long sigh of relief and immediately left his room.

After a quick wash, he went to the entrance of the barracks and waited for the other two.

Tessa seemed normal, rubbing her sleepy eyes and holding a brown teddy bear in her arms as she greeted Otto.
