"I'll do it!"

  Rachel took a bow and aimed at the sky.

  A blue magical glow surged on the drawn b.

  It quickly densed into a sapphire water arrow.

  "Whoosh!"

  Rachel released the b.

  With a "whoosh," a blue streak shot straight into the sky through the eye of the storm.

  At about five hundred meters high, the water arrow suddenly exploded.

  It transformed into a rain of arrows that poured down on the surrounding forest.

  "Crack!"

  The forest around them echoed with crag sounds.

  The rain arrows pierced through the trees and the bodies of Goblins.

  "Waaah!"

  A series of screams erupted from the depths of the forest.

  The tiny rain arrows pierced through the Goblins like steel needles.

  The nohal attack caused the Goblins to scream in agony.

  As for the unlucky ones hit in the head or heart, they were already dead.

  "Martha, the wind is dispersing!"

  Aileen's reminder snapped Martha back to reality.

  She raised her staff and ted a sacred spell.

  "Aru, Koria, An!"

  A dazzling blue light shone from the crystal at the tip of her staff.

  The moment, a white barrier spread out from the crystal.

  In an instant, it enveloped the space where the five of them stood.

  As soon as the barrier formed, the outside storm vanished.

  Without the storm's obstru, dozens of bolts shot through the forest from all dires.

  Many bolts struck the barrier and were deflected.

  "Rachel, Patience, go deal with thed Goblins!"

  "Aileen, hold your fire for now, act wheime is right, and try not to make too muoise!"

  Aileen, being a mage, would cause a huge otion once she acted.

  As the captain, Odyssey took on the responsibility of direg his team.

  His role was to coordinate his teammates' abilities.

  Rachel and Patienodded.

  The two of them dashed out of the barrier almost simultaneously.

  Rachel was the fastest.

  Her figure darted left and right, swiftly entering the forest.

  Patience, oher hand, was more brute force.

  Wielding a rge axe, he charged into the forest like a heavy tank.

  Bolts ged against his armor.

  Sparks flew for a moment.

  Some bolts were deflected.

  But some pierced through the armor, embedding themselves in it.

  Ohe two ehe forest, the sound of bolts whizzing through the air suddenly ceased.

  Only the rustling sounds echoed in the dark depths of the forest.

  "Rachel, Patience, don't chase too far!"

  The distant otion in the forest told Odyssey that the Goblins had fled.

  He quickly shouted into the dark depths of the forest.

  Before long, Rachel and a disgruntled Patience emerged from the darkness.

  "Those Goblins are no fun, they ran away just like that!"

  Patie down by the campfire.

  He took off his helmet, his expression full of dissatisfa.

  By this time, Martha had already dispelled the barrier.

  "Captain, look at this."

  Rachel approached Odyssey with a few bolts in hand.

  Odyssey looked down at the bolts in Rachel's hand.

  He picked one up and exami closely.

  "Captain, the bolts are powerful, they easily pierced my armor!"

  At this, Patience spoke up from beside the campfire.

  This drew the attention of the other four to him.

  Only then did they notice that Patience was covered in bolts.

  "Patience, are you... are you okay?"

  Martha hurried over to Patience.

  Patience shook his head and patted his chest.

  "I'm fihe bolts pierced the armor, but they couldn't really hurt me."

  "Really okay?"

  Martha examined Patience up and down.

  "Really, I'm fine!"

  Martha pulled a bolt from Patience's body.

  Seeing no blood oip, she was relieved.

  "Patience, if you're hurt, you must tell me!"

  Patience grinned and nodded.

  At this point, the five of them returo sit by the campfire.

  "Captain, should we move?"

  Aileen gnced warily at the depths of the forest behind them.

  Goblins were weak, but they were numerous.

  Fighting Goblins at night was very disadvantageous for them.

  Humans couldn't see in the dark, but Goblins could.

  Odyssey shook his head a down his shield.

  "If the Goblins are really targeting us, moving won't help."

  "You guys rest, I'll take the watch for the sed half of the night!"

  Odyssey volunteered to take the night watch for the tter half.

  Rachel, sitting by the campfire, looked down at the bolt in his hand.

  The bolt in his hand gave him a bad feeling.

  How could "crossboear in the hands of Goblins?

  And judging by the number of bolts, it meant the Goblins had quite a few crossbows.

  Meanwhile, about a hundred meters away in the depths of the forest.

  "Humans are irong!"

  The adventurers' fighting style made Li Meng's heart race.

  The exquisite magic casting showed that humans had a deep uanding of magic.

  Which led to the creation of various magical skills.

  "No wonder just five people wipe out a Gobli!"

  Looking at the firelight in the depths of the forest, Li Me a bit restless.

  They were indeed plump, the smell of human flesh could be sensed from afar.

  That familiar st stirred something within Li Meng.

  Li Meng wiped the drool from the er of his mouth.

  The Goblin's instincts gave him a desire to devour humans.

  "No!"

  Li Meng swung his right hand and spped himself.

  "Sp!"

  A crisp sound echoed in the dark forest.

  It was stra wasn't his first time seeing humans.

  The st time he saw humans, he didn't have such a stroion.

  Li Meng rubbed his fad slowly disappeared into the darkness.

  Meanwhile, by the campfire in the depths of the forest.

  "Rachel, what's wrong?"

  Rachel suddenly stood up by the campfire.

  His gaze was fixed on the eastern forest.

  After a moment, a fsh of fusion crossed Rachel's eyes.

  "Nothing, probably just the sound of a branch falling."

  Hearing this, Odyssey chuckled.

  He khe Goblin attack had made Rachel a bit jumpy.

  "Just a few Goblins, o worry too much!"

  Odyssey hought Goblins could pose a threat to the five of them.

  At worst, they could leave.

  If they wao leave, mere Goblins couldn't stop them.

  Time passed slowly, and the night deepened.

  The m, Odyssey led his team southward.

  Iernoon, in a dim forest.

  The five of them silently stared at the airship wreckage being gradually swallowed by vegetation.

  "Aileen, where is it?"

  "It's in there, very close!"

  "I'm going in!"

  Rachel squeezed through a narro into the .

  After a while, some noises came from ihe .

  Before long, Rachel emerged from the gap.

  He went iy-handed and came out holding a crystal.
