My bloodline yearns for progress.

Chapter 30 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!

Upon realizing this, Otto immediately shared his guesses with his teammates.

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

"I'll clear the way."

Tina, you're in charge of preparing the burning arrows.

Otto, be ready to activate your ring!

After saying this, Micah immediately picked up his axe and ran towards the cave.

Tina and Otto quickly followed.

As they approached the cave, the five goblins stood up from the mud.

They also had marks resembling black blood vessels on their bodies, clearly indicating that they had become puppets of that demon.

But Micah roared and chopped down his axe to clear a path for the two.

"Charge in, don't stop!"

Micah knew that rhythm was crucial in a fight.

Once your rhythm is disrupted, it's easy for the enemy to find your weaknesses, and you'll fall into their rhythm and become passive!

Therefore, no matter what, Micah will not let that unknown monster succeed!

Thinking of this, Micah pulled a small jar out of his spatial pocket and smashed it against the wall.

Slippery grease splattered among the vines in the cave.

Immediately afterwards, a single campfire spell caused the oil to explode in flames!

In an instant, Micah set the entire cave ablaze!

Even the goblins parasitized by the black vines let out a wail!

These kerosene supplies are essential for outdoor camping. They were originally used to start campfires or make torches, and can ignite even slightly damp wood.

Micah never expected that he would come in handy in a place like this.

But Micah paid no attention to the howls of these monsters, and simply cleared a path for the two of them, rushing into the cave as fast as possible to find the members of the Flower Fairy Wings.

"Joel, answer me!"

Tina followed the guidance of the tracking spell and ventured deeper into the cave.

She believed her brother was here!

But the black vines inside the cave, once ignited, began a full-scale counterattack.

Thick vines stretched out from the ground, turning into sharp thorns that lunged at them.

But Otto, who was in charge of supporting the enemy, was already ready, and a dark blue aura shone on his iron sword.

The Azure Moon Slash precisely cleaved through the vines in front of it, paving the way to the depths of the cave.

The tracking technique was still working. After clearing away the spikes, Tina rushed forward and finally found a Moonbreath Flower!

The tracking spell is pointing in the right direction; the members of the Flower Fairy Wings are right here!

"Joel!"

As Tina called out, a response finally came from afar.

Upon seeing this, the three rushed over.

A young adventurer who looked somewhat like Tina was lying in the corner.

Clearly, he is Tina's younger brother, Joel.

At this moment, Joel's leather armor was tattered and riddled with tiny black vines.

It's as if the vines used the leather armor as nourishment!

As for Joel, vines had already begun to appear on his arms.

The fine black vines were slowly creeping up Joel's arm and toward his neck. If Otto and the others had arrived any later, Joel might have become a puppet of these vines!

Seeing this, Micah only asked the two of them to help him hold the line while he went to treat the patients!

Micah put down his giant axe and immediately took out a dagger.

He precisely cut open the small area of ​​Joel that was being eroded by the fine vines, and then, under everyone's watchful eyes, took out a leather bag and began to gulp down some kind of liquid.

The aroma of strong liquor instantly filled the air.

Tina found it all absurd.

What time is it? This dwarf is still drinking!

But just as Tina was about to lose her temper, Otto told her to focus on dealing with the goblins that were gradually rushing towards them.

Otto believed that Micah was not the kind of drunkard who couldn't tell the situation from his eyes.

Sure enough, after a few seconds of silence, Micah moved again.

He sprayed the strong liquor from his mouth onto the cut area, and then began to chant some kind of incantation.

"King of Runes, Lord of Fire, Father of Distilled Wine, God of All Refinements."

The great father and grandfather Hegelin.

Please cleanse this poor child from the suffering he has endured.

As Micah recited his hymn, the liquor sprayed on Joel began to glow faintly!

"Now!"

Micah seized the opportunity and used the campfire spell again.

In an instant, the liquor ignited Joel's body!

Tina, who was standing nearby, panicked completely and tried to put out the flames, but Micah stopped her.

"This is the purification and healing of Dionysus."

As Micah spoke, the flames and liquor not only did not cause burns, but actually began to heal the boy in front of him little by little.

The fine vines that had been eroding Joel seemed to sense some kind of drive away and quickly withdrew from the boy's arm.

Upon seeing this, Micah immediately breathed a sigh of relief and bent down to bandage the boy's wound.

As the vines left his body, Joel's mental state finally improved somewhat.

But Joel looked anxious at that moment.

"Florian has been dragged away by the vines!"

With Joel's murmurs, the three finally learned the whole story.

It turns out that the Flower Fairy Wings team successfully collected the Moon Breath Flower.

But just as they were embarking on their journey home, they heard someone calling for help in the distance.

The kind-hearted teenagers didn't think too much and rushed over.

The result was that all they found were a few rotting corpses.

Their throats were vibrating as they continuously cried for help.

The three realized something was wrong and immediately tried to escape, but it was too late.

Joel and his teammate Florian were ultimately forced to cover the escape of the team's scouts.

Her agility far surpasses that of the two men, making her the most likely person to bring backup.

After being dragged into the cave by those vines, Joel had even prepared his last words, but who would have thought that his sister would actually bring people to rescue him!

Joel wanted to say something, but the excruciating pain in his body caused him to faint again.

Seeing this, Micah simply picked up his giant axe again, preparing to continue searching for the remaining person.

"That kid's name is Florian, right?"

Micah roared and swung his giant axe down repeatedly.

They attempted to destroy the entire cave.

They wanted to use this method to provoke this strange monster.

Otto naturally didn't waste the opportunity Micah had given him, and was now fully utilizing his Eye of Light to try and locate Florian or the monster's true form.

Inside the cave, a crimson mist filled the air due to the vines, and Otto had to concentrate to find the other's location.

Fortunately, thanks to Micah's sabotage, the monster became somewhat anxious.

As more puppets surged forward, Micah finally located the spot where the crimson mist was densest!

The crimson mist seemed to materialize, slowly approaching them.

Without hesitation, Otto drew his iron sword, took a step forward, and landed on Micah's shoulder, using the dwarf as a springboard to leap high into the air.

The moonlight of the Azure Moon condensed on the sword, cleaving through the wall and the numerous vines hidden within.

Here, Otto found another member of the Flower Wings squad who had been dragged away by the vines.

At that moment, Otto used all his strength to pull the boy named Florian out.

It was because of this violent dragging motion that Otto saw a mass of vines writhing inside the wall, seemingly trying to pull Florian back!
