Chapter 29 Crying for Help in the Woods
Chapter 29 Crying for Help in the Woods
Otto reasoned that since Micah had entrusted Una with the investigation and research, the whereabouts of that ancient artifact must be very important to Micah.
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 Micah was getting anxious.
However, Otto did not inform Micah 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 Micah first.
Fortunately, before Otto could remind him, Micah seemed to realize that he was getting a little impatient.
He quickly ended the conversation, arranged the night watch order, and 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 Sun Honey Core Ring warming up slightly.
Clearly, the Golden Sun Honey Core Ring has begun its recharging process and will likely be usable again soon.
As for Otto, his Moonbeams were fully replenished last night and he is ready to 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, Micah 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 ability, while Micah and Otto stood beside her, keeping watch.
Guided by the tracking spell, the three of them rushed into the depths of the dense forest in one breath.
But the deeper they went into the forest, the thicker the fog became, making it difficult even for the morning sunlight to penetrate.
Upon seeing this, Micah immediately used whatever materials were available to make a torch.
With a few soft murmurs, a spark appeared in Micah's hand, igniting the torch!
"Here, take one torch each and keep watch."
Micah 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 large organization that also includes dwarves like Micah.
However, only a minority of dwarves can use both combat skills and magic at the same time.
Tina was very puzzled. Why would a strong person like Micah be willing to stay in a small town like Oak Town?
But Micah didn't respond to Tina's question; he just shrugged and offered a casual explanation.
"Many races can use the War Cry innate combat skill."
As for the campfire spell, it's just a level 0 spell, nothing special.
"If you want to learn, I can teach you. Each lesson will cost one silver Thorn."
Micah learned the Campfire spell from Una, which cost him a considerable amount of Silver Thorn; he had no intention of teaching it for free.
But Otto, standing to the side, thought to himself, "Just as I thought."
The dwarf's roar yesterday, which sounded like a mental shock, was indeed a combat technique.
Otto never expected that it was actually a dwarf's innate combat skill.
Considering Micah's earlier statement that he could handle the healing, it seems this seasoned adventurer has many more tricks up his sleeve.
Putting everything else aside, Otto has yet to see Micah demonstrate any combat skills related to that giant axe.
"Is this the advantage that racial differences bring?"
Otto is not yet clear on what drawbacks such racial talents will bring, but at least for now, dwarves do have more advantages than ordinary people in adventures.
No wonder Micah became the captain of the Dragonbreakers.
But just as Otto was pondering this, something unexpected happened.
"Help, help me!"
"Run! Run!"
An eerie sound suddenly came from the forest, accompanied even by the whimpering of an infant.
Seeing this, Micah suddenly called out to the two of them.
Micah looked at Otto and shouted sternly.
"Otto".
Upon hearing the call, Otto immediately understood and activated his Eye of Light.
Real-world practice is always the best way to develop teamwork.
After several adventures, Otto and Micah 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 steps to the right front!"
As soon as Otto gave the location, Tina immediately drew her bow, raised her hand, and shot.
Unfortunately, the crimson fog did not dissipate; instead, it accelerated!
"defense!"
Otto sensed something was wrong and immediately prepared to defend himself.
Micah raised his giant axe and stood in front of the two of them as a human shield.
Immediately afterwards, a Mist Howling Forest Wolf slammed into the surface of the giant axe!
Otto noticed that there were black marks resembling blood vessels protruding from under the fur of the Howling Forest Wolf.
Its throat moved slightly, emitting a whimpering sound like a baby!
Immediately afterwards, two more crimson wisps of mist gradually approached.
Those are the remains of two adventurers!
Their bodies were already rotting, but their throats were still vibrating.
"Help, help me!"
"Run! 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 actually started moving, Tina did notice some clues.
"The black veins appearing on their bodies are actually the 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 arrow ignited instantly, and with a whooshing sound, Tina's burning arrow struck the head of the howling forest wolf, piercing straight through its brain!
Just as Tina had guessed, the Fog Howling Wolf died instantly the moment its brain was destroyed.
Seeing this, Otto followed suit. While Micah was holding back the two corpses, he swiftly swung his sword and used the Azure Moon to directly destroy their heads.
At this moment, the surroundings finally fell silent again.
Otto discovers that the moonlight also seems to be a powerful tool for destroying the vines!
Unlike Otto, who had made new discoveries about the moonlight, Micah seemed preoccupied.
Looking at the two corpses lying on the ground, Micah said solemnly.
"When we were on the outskirts, we only encountered a pack of wolves with the alpha wolf being controlled."
As we delve deeper, this situation seems to be getting even more severe.
Micah felt that the strange monster was too dangerous, and they had to be more careful.
At that moment, Otto and Tina discovered a new situation.
"Over there!"
Tina discovered that the tracking spell seemed to be pointing to a stone cave not far away.
And 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!
