In the following days, neither the witch maid nor the silver pupil captain knew what had happened that night. Bao Man herself didn't even know why she sang or what she sang about. However, she wasn't concerned about this and after her body slightly recovered, she insisted on getting out of bed and resuming her previous work as a female servant in the team, no matter how others tried to persuade her otherwise.

  After failing to escape once, although Bao Jia seemed to be no different from before on the surface, but Bao Man found that she had lost the opportunity to escape again. The captain's regular night patrol, the girl's tent was not only the starting point, but also became the terminal and midnight inspection object. This made Bao Man feel a little lost and a little complacent, and slowly faded away from the idea of leaving. Since it's impossible to escape, then just do whatever, the girl made a self-abandoning decision.

  The other ladies in the adventure team were also kind-hearted, and Bao Jia's special care for the witch girl was not hidden from anyone. The reason was also justified, so no one was willing to come out and say anything more. However, afterwards, during task execution or long-distance travel, due to minor injuries or exhaustion, some female team members would occasionally fall ill. The Zoro Adventure Team seemed to have suddenly become much weaker, but fortunately, this behavior was still restrained and did not suddenly lead to everyone falling down at the same time. It looked more like a shift change, so in the end, it was almost accepted by default by everyone.

  Bao Man continued to faithfully fulfill her logistical duties, still the same clumsy witch who hadn't even mastered basic necromancy spells, completely unaware that she had accidentally acquired other bizarre skills. She was also puzzled about what happened before she fainted, but lacking common sense, she couldn't understand it no matter how hard she thought. Although the demon realm produced many magic-related professions, she, who had been abandoned since childhood, wouldn't know anything higher-end than Mong War Song.

  Being able to chant the war song of the Mongols doesn't necessarily mean one is a priest, and Bao Jia was very clear about this. In his silver-pupiled eyes, even if the witch girl inadvertently awakened this ability, it wouldn't have much practical significance. Whether attacking or assisting, based on that night's level, the effect that could be exerted would be extremely limited, and probably couldn't even distinguish between friend and foe. And no matter what skill, to truly master it requires a large amount of repeated practice. But with the witch girl's frail and sickly physique, she probably couldn't even sing a complete war song, so there was basically no point in practicing.

  However, Bao Jia himself should also be considered an anomaly among the Silver Pupils. He established a spiritual connection with his dream demon at a relatively early time, but he has yet to summon it. Even in this state, his spiritual power is surprisingly strong. If not for his choice of weapon being too unusual, he would have been a priority cultivation target as a Winged Knight. As things stand now, no knight order will recruit a Silver Pupil without a mount and who doesn't use a longsword. Although there are many invitations to join, the prerequisite is at least summoning one's dream demon first.

  However, Bao Jia himself didn't care about these things. His adventure team had many female members and was quite strong, but it still looked more like an all-girl band. Bao Jia's violin skills were also very good, to the point where a symphony orchestra from the demon realm even wanted to hire him as their first violinist. He had seriously considered this offer, but ultimately gave up due to interference from that declining noble family.

  Bao Man occasionally saw one or two scenes of this adventure team's battle, which was usually when they were dealing with larger mutated beasts.

  Bao Jia, without wearing armor, even with the Zoro suit, is not good at facing enemies with high melee capabilities. It's not just him, the adventure team is also very handy when dealing with beasts that are good at magic or mental abilities, which is also a natural advantage of the demon world residents. However, when facing beasts with superior melee capabilities and large bodies, they have some difficulty displaying their skills. Several female knights in full crystal suits can't even hold on for a few minutes if they all go up together compared to Bao Jia. The effect of having minions like corpse-eating ghosts help is not great, and the beasts that can withstand their master's magic and attacks basically ignore these guys, usually unable to play any role in restraining them.

  There was once a time when the Zoro Adventure Party accepted a quest to eradicate a monster that had been lurking in a large, deep pool near a town. When they arrived at their destination, they found out that the enemy was actually a mutated Moray Eel.

  This task is indeed somewhat tricky.

  The enemy is an aquatic beast, and at most, it can be lured out of the water with shells. In reality, the opponent still has a geographical advantage on land. The adventure team can only fight on land, without suitable personnel or equipment for air or sea battles. Bao Jia once considered using the hated warriors and ghoul followers to drag the opponent ashore, but this variant magic ray water leech is over 20 meters long from head to tentacles. The hated ones in the team couldn't even lift a thousand-mo-ka-heavy living beast on land, let alone at the water's edge. After losing one or two hated ones, Bao Jia reluctantly gave up on this plan.

  The members of the Zoro team are not too many, and as mentioned earlier, due to the absence of male warlocks, female warlocks can only cast negative buffs, which makes the entire team's magical attack power relatively weak.

  On the other side, Moriah's water leech was fighting several silver pupils on the shore or in shallow water with its 20 tentacles, not falling behind at all. Even if some of its tentacles were cut off, it could just replace them and regenerate quickly. Due to the large size of this pool and the nearly straight shoreline, the members of Zoro's team could only attack in a horizontal row and couldn't surround from left and right or front and back. This gave Moriah's water leech the opportunity to use ice-elemental magic to launch a covering attack on its main body.

  Several female hell shooters were originally not weak, but because of the relationship with Bao Jia's cooperative operation, the action of launching long spears looked and felt shy, and the efficiency was much lower than when they practiced alone. This long-range attack is equivalent to having no great auxiliary effect at all.

  So the adventure team stayed by the pond for several days, every day was a stalemate with this Morya water leech on the shore. Although Oujia didn't have much chance to pull Baojia into the water, Zoro's team couldn't pull out this turtle-like guy either. Those dozens of long wolf-toothed tentacles were indeed intimidating when entwined, but once grabbed, they immediately became extremely slippery, and could even escape multiple times by stretching and thinning. If it was really caught and couldn't escape, this Morya water leech could also decisively "cut off its own wrist". It would actively abandon its tentacles from the middle or even the base.

  The abandoned tentacles did not lose their activity in a short period of time, but instead instinctively tightened the nearest thing tightly, continuously contracting and squeezing. A female Silver Pupil Knight was caught off guard, although Bao Jia pulled her back to the shore in time, and within the shortest time possible, cut half of the tentacle into pieces, rescuing the female Silver Pupil from the python-like entanglement. However, the crystal armor covering her body was basically ruined, with several suckers left on her exposed skin, continuously seeping out fresh blood.

  It is well known that leeches can secrete a substance that prevents blood from clotting, which makes it difficult for wounds inflicted by the Moray leech to heal and easily leads to excessive bleeding and fainting. Wounds are easy to treat, but blood loss is hard to replenish. As a result, another warrior of Zoro's party was lost. The adventure party could only temporarily retreat for a few days, transfer to a nearby town, and after the female team member recovered from her injuries, they would rush back to the edge of the lake to continue their battle with the mutated leeches.

  Bao Jia's battle skills were very elegant, swinging his bow could cover an area of about three to five meters around his body. Anyone who dared to stretch in would be sliced into fish fillets. However, this move lacked attack power, and the tentacles of the Moray Eel were at least ten meters long. Only a few times at the beginning did Bao Jia slice them off, but later they learned to dodge by swinging outside his attack range. As soon as Bao Jia slowed down, he immediately made a feinting move. Although there was no contact between the two sides, it was extremely perilous.

  Because this pool is located in a shaded area, the surface of the water occasionally floats with ice blocks. In battle, these grinding disc-sized "ice fragments" are often rolled up by the leeches and thrown at Bao Jia. Combined with the ice magic shot from the monster's eyes, the Silver Pupils are always close together before each battle, but after a while, they are forced to separate and fight separately. As a result, it fails to play the role of controlling the top monsters, and there is no opportunity for the witch to summon large creatures to make a fatal blow.

  So this task can only continue to drag on.

  Compared to the combat personnel who returned exhausted every day after fighting against the mutant leeches, Bao Man was in a state of rest during these days. The weather near the water pool was not bad, and her daily work was not much, everyone was busy, no one would bring any trouble. It's just that since the female silver pupil was injured, Bao Man couldn't sit still in the camp.

  She often saw Ba Jia's bloody figure in her mind when she was doing some trivial things and her brain was slightly distracted. This unease couldn't be eliminated, whether it was work or leisure time, as long as her energy was dispersed, Bao Man couldn't help but think in a bad direction. Although after that, each adventure team member increased their vigilance, except for being more mentally tired than usual, most of them returned safely without even a minor injury. But before seeing everyone return, Bao Man became increasingly restless.

  Recently, Bao Jia has been in a state of distress due to the unsatisfactory progress of his mission. Even when he returns to the camp, he is often deep in thought with a worried expression. Although his concern for Boman remains the same as before, it's clear that his mind is elsewhere. This is probably also one of the reasons why the witch girl is feeling mentally tense.

  The deadline was approaching, but Zorro's team still couldn't come up with a good countermeasure until that thing happened.
