"There was no ulterior motive; it was all just a spur-of-the-moment thing. Please, let me go. I will find the lost treasure for you!"

The one-handed swordsman struggled to his feet, prostrating himself on the ground and pleading desperately.

Lindsay looked at the sole surviving adventurer with a meaningful expression on his face.

This guy's pleas for mercy are not to be trusted, but I'm not afraid of any tricks he might play. As long as I keep a close eye on him, he shouldn't be able to do anything.

Moreover, I am somewhat interested in the treasure he mentioned, but I don't know if it's true or not. However, since the other party is begging for mercy, it seems more likely to be true.

He also had some questions he wanted to understand, such as what was the deal with the white wolf that he called Mondeo?

"I can spare your life, but you must answer all my questions truthfully, every single one of them."

The other person's eyes were now filled with a desperate hope to survive: "Ask away, I promise I won't lie to you!"

Do you have any adventurer titles?

"Yes, my title is 'Feral Child'."

Linsset was slightly displeased upon hearing this title.

He pointed to the white wolf's corpse on the ground: "I'm asking you, why did you name that white wolf Mondio? And what is your relationship with this white wolf?"

"This is my animal partner. I named it Mondeo. We've been working together for several years and have always been very good partners."

Animal companions?

Linsel opened the panel and checked the other party's information.

My profession is Druid, and the relationship between Druids and animal companions is quite complementary, which is interesting.

Although I didn't quite understand the main combat methods and routines of the various common professions before, based on the original owner's memories and my usual interactions with them, I can now make sense of them.

The Druid class, an adventurer profession, has a wide range of skills, and feels like a combination of beast taming and nature-related aspects.

"You seem to be a professional, and a druid at that. Tell me how you became a druid?"

Upon hearing Lindsay's question, the bronze-level adventurer known as "Wolf Child" seemed to see a glimmer of hope and began to speak with great excitement.

"Well, my profession awakened on its own shortly after I became an adventurer. I seem to have a natural affinity for plants and animals, and gradually I discovered that I could roughly understand some of their thoughts."

Later, after learning about the situation from the guild, I discovered that I had indeed awakened the Druid class. I also discovered that I had the ability to communicate with animals and could sense that some intelligent animals were showing me kindness, so I began to cooperate with them.

Lindsay, who was originally a self-aware professional, now roughly understands how professionals are born.

However, since there are self-awakening professionals, there should also be other ways to become a professional, such as actively learning and training. For more details, you can ask the instructors in the guild or training camp later; they should know more about it.

"Okay, I'll ask you a second question. What's this treasure you mentioned? Give me a brief explanation."

"The treasure is actually hidden in a cave on the outskirts of the primeval forest, but we haven't found it after searching for almost three days."

After coughing twice, the "wolf child" continued to explain: "This whole affair was largely orchestrated by 'Broken Boots.' The whole 'search for medicinal herbs' thing I told you about before was just a pretext."

"Broken Boots" was actually searching for lost treasure within the cave, and I and another adventurer were hired by him as guides.

The treasure was left behind by a high-level adventurer named "Broken Boots." He originally had a treasure map, but as you know, we couldn't find it using that map, which means it wasn't very accurate. However, the treasure's location is indeed near this stream.

The treasure left behind by high-level adventurers—perhaps there really are some good treasures inside.

Linsel sheathed his iron sword: "Alright, then take me to that cave now. If you find the treasure, you can live."

"Thank you, 'Wolf Slayer,' for sparing my life! I will definitely help you find the cave!"

The "wolf boy" apologized loudly and repeatedly, his tone seemingly sincere, but Lindsay naturally didn't really believe him.

Anyone in this situation who wants to survive would beg for mercy like this. And since there is such a good treasure, how could they just give it away?

Furthermore, the fact that this "wolf child" did not show any sadness or anger after his animal companion Mondio died was clearly very strange.

Lindsay's vigilance towards "feral children" has increased even further.

He watched as the other person swayed to his feet and said, "Let's set off now. Also, don't do anything stupid like trying to run away. I can take care of you anytime."

"No, no, please believe me."

Before leaving, Lindsay searched the other two dead adventurers and found 47 silver coins, some black bread, and dried meat and other simple food in their purses.

Both players had rather ordinary weapons and equipment, which Li Na didn't care about, so she ignored them.

As for whether there were any other good things, Lindsay asked the "wolf boy," who then answered eagerly.

"Yes, I remember 'Broken Boots' had a combat skill book on him. We can look for it; it might be hidden on him."

Based on similar experiences in the past, Lindsay guessed that the combat manual might be hidden in the lining of the opponent's clothing.

However, he did not find it after carefully searching the body.

Lindsay glanced at the "wolf child," who shrugged innocently, indicating that he wasn't quite sure either.

"Wolf Child, what was that charge you used earlier? Do you have a combat technique manual for it?"

"My move is [Forward Charge], but it's not in the combat technique manual."

"Alright, then you lead the way, and we'll continue on our way."

After cleaning up the battlefield, Lindsay followed the "wolf boy" across the stream and continued deeper into the woods.

After advancing for about ten more minutes and circling around in several directions, Linsset discovered a small cave hidden among the bushes in a clearing where the trees were somewhat sparse.

"The Wolf Slayer, we've arrived! This is it!"

Linsel looked at the entrance of the cave and felt something was strange. Calling it a cave was not quite right. The entrance was small on the ground and led downwards at an angle, making it look more like a hole in the ground.

"Is this really the place? It clearly looks like a cave."

The "wolf child" was very excited: "Yes, this is it, the treasure is inside."

"Then you go in first."
