Chapter 602: 602

“K3516, isn’t your waist getting tired?” Said k3308, looking at the 5 portal bags on Abel’s waist, drool running down his mouth .

He also had a very powerful family, but they wouldn’t give him any bigger portal bags . Even if they had bigger ones, they would give them to their elite wizards first .

It was very rare to see a family giving a beginner wizard larger than average portal bag like the Brown Family .

Maybe they had only given it to Anthony to make his exchange with the orcs go smoother . Anthony had become a wizard at such a young age not only because he was extremely gifted, but also because he had gained a large amount of Wizard resources through exchanges with the orcs .

“Don’t worry; I’m not tired!” Abel said, padding his portal bags .

There was no way he would give those larger than normal portal bags to other wizards of the same rank . They were his family’s bases . Those things were very hard to attain with magic gems or gold coins .

Even in Liante City’s Wizard Union, you could not exchange a portal bag with credit points .

K3308 felt a little sad as he rode his mount wolf . From the side, head commander Markham gazed at him helplessly .

Nothing too special happened the following day . Without a single interruption, they arrived at Zephyr Lake .

“We just get on top of that mountain, and we can see that Zephyr Lake!” Said Head Commander Bodley, pointing towards a nearby mountain peak .

Zephyr Lake was located in the center of a mountain peak . As Abel climbed towards the top, he saw a patch of dark blue water . You could tell just how deep the lake was from the color .

“Everyone, be careful . We have entered the domain of a Fiery Bear . We can run into it at any moment!” Head Commander Bodley lowered his voice as he held his magic knight sword and shield tightly in his hand . He was ready for the fiery bear to attack at any moment .

From what he knew of Abel’s scary fighting skills, Abel was an expert in sword techniques . Since he had never used combat qi and he had always attacked head commanders when they did not have a combat qi armor, Abel might not stand a chance against the attack of a fiery bear .

A fiery bear’s defense was extremely strong . Even a head commander under combat qi would have a hard time trying to penetrate it, let alone normal attacks .

“Joey, Basil, you guys go find the fiery bear!” The Head Commander ordered .

“Yes, leader!” The 2 elite warriors declared and began to search .

“Don’t you guys think it’s a little bit too quiet here?” Abel’s intuition told him there was basically no life here .

This was extremely weird . Even in a spiritual beast’s domain would be habitable to tiny creatures . Spiritual beasts would not attack tiny creatures, and since there wouldn’t be any medium sized carnivores living in a spiritual beast’s domain, tiny creatures could thrive .

However, not in this place . There weren’t even any insects or bugs, let alone tiny creatures . It was basically a ghost town .

Head Commander Bodley jumped down from his horse and gave the surroundings a detailed scan . In the end, he discovered some black powder behind the leaves of a bush .

He then gave it a little sniff and said in certainty, “This place is poisoned . The orcs’ beast countering potion!”

“Head Commander Bodley, what you are saying is there are orcs here?” K3308’s eyes began to sparkle . He was no longer afraid of orcs since he was with Abel . In fact, all he wanted was more battles with the orcs, so he could get even more rewards .

“I’m not sure . Maybe the orcs had only stayed here temporarily for a rest!” Head Commander Bodley shook his head a little . This place was quite empty . If there were orcs, they would have spotted them long ago .

“Do those orcs think they can go through our border like it’s nothing?” K3305 said furiously . They had already been attacked by orcs one time in this mission . If they ran into more orcs, this meant the orcs might have the ability to go through Mount Budapest .

“No need to look . The orcs are using sky sparrows, but I’m afraid it’s just the group that we ran in to just then!” Said Abel . He had already discovered a lot of markings after gazing around the place for a while .

There was a big indent on a patch of grass with the wizards of a sky sparrows’ body . There were some almost unnoticeable footprints of worgen, mount wolves, and bearman, nearby .

By this point, Abel realized his data analysis ability was extremely useful for investigations . In the past, he would need to use a lot of brainpower to notice these details, but now all he needed to do was give it a little scan, and a bunch of data would be presented to him .

This place was a gathering ground for the orcs, and their main transport was a sky sparrow .

This also explained why that entire team of 100 orcs could appear on the human side of Mount Budapest . With that extremely prestigious head wolf rider captain, there was no way they would risk their lives going through the peak of Mount Budapest on foot . The danger there was enough to wipe out a big chunk of their team .

Mount Budapest’s peak was the domain of intermediate and elite spiritual beasts . Even elite wizards could not come out of there easily, let alone head commander rank orcs .

Elite spiritual beasts were the same rank as elite wizards, but their strength was a little stronger . Therefore if you wanted to kill an elite spiritual beast, it was basically impossible without at least a few elite wizards . ’

“Do beasts countering potions work on beginner rank spiritual beasts?” Abel asked, looking at Head Commander Bodley .

“No, but if a sky sparrow was here . Maybe the fiery bear was scared off!” Head Commander Bodley replied .

Abel could understand this . Beasts might feel a lot of pressure just by looking at the giant body of White Cloud . Even though a sky sparrow might not be a spiritual beast, their size was enough to scare off a lot of spiritual beasts .

“Then we are in trouble; where would a fiery bear go?” k3308 yelled from the side .

“If we can’t find one, then we will fail this mission!” k3305 sighed in disappointment . They couldn’t find a fiery bear, and it would waste a lot of time to search for another spiritual beast . Most men in this team did not have that much time to waste .

Both head commanders and wizards would need to rest for a long time before going on an outdoor adventure like this . Also, you could find a new war glory mission in Miracle City every day, so an extra day of adventure would garner only losses .

Abel had joined this mission because he wanted to return a favor for k3305 . K3308 joined for fun, so Head Commander Markham had no choice but to join as well since he needed to protect k3308 . Head Commander Bodley had joined because he had spent way too much war glory to exchange little skulls and bone made portal objects . Therefore, everyone had something they wanted to gain from this .

Still, no one would want to drag out time in any circumstance .

“Just wait for Joey!” Head Commander Bodley lowered his voice .

This was totally unexpected to everyone . Who would have guessed a fiery beast was scared off by orcs .

Joey and Basil returned after an hour .

“Leader, we’ve searched everywhere . There are no traces of the fiery bear!” Said Joey with a bow .

Afterward, k3305 said helplessly, “It’s all luck; seems like we just don’t have enough of it . Thanks for everyone coming anyway!”

No one on the spot knew how to comfort him . The best time to use a crystal core was when a Wizard’s inner pattern was fully fulfilled . Its effect would be a lot weaker if they used it later, and the chance of leveling up would dramatically decrease,

This was the conclusion drawn by countless generations of research . For a wizard, even a 1% increase in change was like a 100% chance to them .

Suddenly, Abel said gently, “If you guys trust me . I can try to help you find a fiery bear!” He too didn’t want to let this adventure go to waste .

“K3516, you have an idea?” K3305’s eyes began to sparkle . These past few days, Abel had shown how much of a miracle he was . K3305 wouldn’t be surprised if he made another miracle come true .

“I can only try . I’m quite good at tracking down things . As long as you can find the path where that fiery bear had left, I can track it down!” Although Abel sounded very humble, everyone on the spot knew Abel would not have said it if he was not fully confident .
