Chapter 1138: Chapter 1138: The Path to Becoming Stronger

"This guy’s physical combat strength is pitifully weak, but he isn’t afraid of our intimidation at all. His soul is guarded by an incredibly powerful force, and mental assaults are ineffective against him. He is the bane of us ghosts," another ghost said coldly.

"It doesn’t matter, we’re all working under the leadership of our captain anyway." Kaidi had you sit on a cowhide chair that was set up, he turned his head to the middle-aged man and asked, "Dak, do you have any food that humans can eat?"

"Yes." Dak didn’t beat around the bush. He picked up a backpack next to you, and took out a slightly discolored cheese, "I haven’t eaten anything in half a month, I don’t know if this block of cheese is still edible."

Although Dak’s facial expression was cold and relentless, you could read a rare kindness in his eyes.

And soon, you realize that the two ghosts who attacked you just now were not as terrifying as you had imagined. They floated in the air, staring intently at you as if observing some strange object.

Kaidi glanced at the cheese, and then shook his head, "It would be weird if eating this thing didn’t make you sick. Dak, you’re really getting closer and closer to becoming a Spirit Communications Mage. I think in half a year you could become one, right? By that time, you could get the Third Level Medal."

Dak nodded. He threw the cheese aside and said indifferently, "Didn’t you kill the Forest Wolf King last night? I have an iron pot here. Mince the meat and make some meat soup to feed him. This guy is very weak, if he doesn’t eat something soon, he’ll end up just like Kaidi."

"I remember throwing the body of the Wolf King over there, I’ll go look for it."

With the help of Kaidi and Dak, you drank several bowls of steaming wolf meat soup. Although Kaidi’s cooking skills weren’t great, for you who hadn’t eaten in a long time, it was as tasty as delicacies from mountains and seas.

After filling your stomach, you, Dak, and Kaidi sat together, with the two ghosts still floating above your heads.

"Dak, thank you."

"Don’t thank me, saving you is the right thing to do, as I am still a human after all." Dak showed no appreciation for your gratitude.

"Right, I should tell you about our team’s mission first."

Kaidi drew an irregular pattern on the ground with a stick and then pointed to a corner of the pattern, "We are currently staying in this place called the Misty Forest. This time, the captain has mobilized three races, a total of two hundred people to come here to execute a mission, divided into fifty groups, each consisting of four people. Our group’s task is to find the entrance to the Asuna Temple."

"Asuna Temple?"

Wasn’t Asuna the Mercenary God you heard about from your mentor in the Haotian Tower before?

Listening to the conversation between Kaidi and Dak, your eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yes, this mission is very dangerous, as a newcomer you can give up on this mission."

Dak turned to look at you and said.

You didn’t even have to think before replying, "Why should I give up? I am not even afraid of death, in this world, there’s nothing left that can scare me."

"Kid, don’t talk big. There are many terrifying things in this world. Since you have given up the chance to quit the mission, let’s continue our search. We mustn’t let other groups get ahead of us. If we find the entrance to the Asuna Sanctuary, we will earn 10,000 taels of gold, and the bonus for this mission will be personally awarded by the captain."

"Dak, Mu Yun is injured and movement is difficult for him, let’s leave him here and continue our search."

"If he stays with us, he still has a chance to live, but if we leave him here alone, it won’t take two minutes before the creatures of the forest devour him."

Saying this, Dak quietly recited an incantation, and then a black energy ball began to form in his right palm. Dak pressed the black energy ball onto your broken bone, and afterwards, you discovered that your severed right leg had miraculously regenerated, albeit now black in color.

"Try standing up and walking."

You did as Dak said, slowly standing up. It felt odd at first, but you quickly adapted.

You eagerly thanked Dak: "Dak..."

"The ’Beauty and the Beast’ Mercenary Group has seven camps that fight their own battles and have constant conflicts, but after all, we’re in the same Mercenary Group and allies in battle. Helping you is the right thing to do. Who knows, I might need your help in a bit. So, you don’t need to thank me right now. If you really want to show gratitude, thank Kaidi, because I owe him my life."

Even though Dak’s tone of voice was very cold, you felt warmth in your heart. In dealing with people, one should not focus too much on the surface, as no one knows whether the soul beneath it is pure.

Dak and Kaidi’s appearances might be frightening, but they had helped you unconditionally. That alone, that friendship, was enough to move you.

"Enough of that, we’ve already used up two days searching this area and we don’t have a lot of time left for this mission. If we still can’t find it today, we must withdraw."

Kaidi took out a short sword from his pack and handed it to you: "Keep this sword for self-defense. When we encounter wild animals later, just stand beside Dak."

You nodded and said seriously, "Don’t worry. Even if I die, I won’t be a nuisance to you."

"Yosu and Ci, you two head northwest to search. The three of us will move upstream along the riverbank." The two ghosts nodded and floated away.

Because Kaidi was with you, the wandering skeletons did not attack, but you did encounter some scattered attacks from wild animals.

During the fights with the wild animals, you were deeply shocked by Dak’s necromancy magic.

At that time, Kaidi was walking in front, you were in the middle, and Dak was behind.

As you were slowly making your way through the underbrush, a beast full of tusks suddenly pounced out from the grass on your left. Just as the beast leapt out, you heard Dak shouting angrily from behind you, and then a black light ball shot into the beast, which exploded into a cloud of blood mist in an instant.

Even more outrageous was when the three of you were surrounded by a group of strange-looking short goblins covered in pustules, and Dak recited an incantation and thrust his Skeleton Wand into the ground. Suddenly, numerous bone spikes emerged from the earth around Dak as the center. The goblins couldn’t react in time and were impaled by the spikes, none spared.

As you looked at Dak with eyes full of admiration, Dak dispelled your notion of becoming a necromancer with a single sentence: "The first and foremost requirement to become an Undead Mage is to dedicate one’s life and soul to the True God Motis. I am eighty-three years old, and I began to drink Zombies blood to practice Necromancy magic at the age of nine, and only now have I achieved such modest success."

"Mu Yun, do you have any skills you’re good at?" Suddenly, Kaidi asked you on the way.
