My bloodline yearns for progress.

Chapter 80 New Victims

Following Goren's command, Otto and Tessa each took their own actions.

Tessa deliberately slowed down the pace of her chanting, trying to capture the rhythm of releasing the Law Shield, ensuring that every second of this crucial defense was used appropriately.

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

The lights gradually illuminated the eyes.

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

Clearly, as Otto's level increased, the performance of the Eye of Light gradually changed.

This is not uncommon; the blessing grows as the person being blessed grows.

Just like Tessa, in the past, Tessa's Shield of Law could only be cast on 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 Eye of Light should have undergone similar changes.

While Tessa was pondering, Otto had already begun using his Eye of Light to observe his surroundings.

With the help of his spiritual eye, Otto discovers that the cave is filled with a maze of black mist, and he must be very careful.

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

Otto guessed that it was likely that the miasma had lingered in the area for too long and had begun to breed a curse.

Thinking of this, Otto immediately offered a reminder.

"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 unleash the Soul Purifying Flame.

As a wisp of flame ignited in Otto's hand, the spell was cast.

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

Goren, standing to the side, patiently reminded the two of their mistakes.

"As mentioned before, the nests of tamarisk bats have extremely poor visibility, and they are adept at stealthy ambushes and sonic attacks, so be very careful."

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

Upon seeing this, Goren was the first to go forward.

He strode forward, his fists suddenly unleashing a chilling light, the force of his iron fists exploding with a deafening roar, and the biting cold air instantly sweeping across the entire area!

The swirling frost condensed into a fine ice net, instantly freezing most of the charging black shadows.

The monsters that were originally diving at high speed were suddenly imprisoned by frost, their movements stopped in mid-air, their attacks were 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, its claws are exceptionally sharp, gleaming with a metallic sheen, and it also has 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, the kangaroo bats became increasingly agitated. Some of the unbound kangaroo bats opened their mouths and released sonic shocks, attempting to disrupt the magic and breathing of the group.

At the same time, as the kangaroo bats flapped their wings, more and more curses surged forth, rushing towards the three of them.

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

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 activated the Iron Wall Breathing Technique, his long, steady breaths flowing through his body, and his power surged once more.

He unleashed his Black Horn Charge, slamming two kangaroo bats against the wall, before immediately ending their lives with his iron sword.

The three of them became increasingly adept at teamwork during their adventures over the past few days.

Before long, 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 urging, Tessa and Otto worked together to dispose of the kangaroo bat carcasses.

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

Although they didn't encounter any major problems during this period, it still took them two days to return 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 recalled that normal camp activities would 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 vines 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 materials about the kangaroo bat 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 Micah and the others had left, they did not immediately dismantle the barracks, so that Goren and the others could have a proper 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 back again.

Otto was quite annoyed after seeing the raven.

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

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

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

At this moment, an unfamiliar view appeared once again.

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