Flame arrows, flame arrows…

After firing nine flaming arrows at a large rock, Linsel felt exhausted and dizzy, so he sat down to rest for a while.

It seems that the number of times Fire Arrow can be cast is indeed related to one's 9 points of Constitution.

After resting for several tens of minutes and recovering his strength, he began to test the second monster ability: [Shaman Monster Summoning].

He mimicked the ritual of the goblin shaman, jumping back and forth, holding a white candle, concentrating his mind, and chanting incantations.

However, he wasn't chanting any incantation; instead, he was reciting the names of the dishes he ate at the tavern.

"Lamb chops, green salad, mushroom salad, lentil soup..."

Lindsay felt his mind and spirit being rapidly depleted.

Success! The summoning spell is in effect!

But after a minute or two, he gradually felt that his mental energy was running low.

But still nothing happened.

Could it be that my intelligence of 7 points is not high enough?

Linsset was sweating profusely from jumping and his mouth was dry from chanting, but he persisted.

Several dozen seconds later, just as Lin Sai was about to give up and stop, a black spacetime rift suddenly appeared in front of him!

It seems like it was a success!

What kind of monster could it be?

Under Linsel's expectant gaze, the crack gradually widened, and then a huge monster more than three meters tall emerged from it!

"Another cannibal? I'm laughing in anger!"

As the spacetime rift disappeared, Linsel, panting heavily, stared at the summoned ogre and felt that his luck was truly terrible.

As soon as the ogre's legs touched the ground, it looked around, observing its surroundings.

It also took note of Lindsay.

"Insects, kill them... they're food..."

After figuring out the situation, the ogre immediately swung his giant wooden club at Lindsay, who was already on guard and stepped back to dodge the attack.

He already had some experience dealing with ogres. These giants were slow, and as long as you dealt enough damage, you could slowly wear them down.

However, this time he was alone to deal with the ogres, and because he had just used the "Shaman Monster Summoning" spell, he was mentally and physically exhausted, and his condition was even worse.

It seems we have no choice but to run away.

Linsel slung the sack over his shoulder and ran toward the edge of the Twilight Forest, the ogre's [war cry] attack coming from behind, making his ears sting slightly.

Before he had run more than ten meters, the cannibal's roar suddenly disappeared.

Linsel looked back and saw that the spacetime rift had reappeared. The ogre was immediately pulled back by the powerful suction of the rift, the rift disappeared, and everything returned to calm.

The summoning time has arrived? It took less than a minute.

Lin Sai let out a long breath and relaxed.

I didn't gain any new monster abilities, but I did understand a few things. My current intelligence attribute isn't high enough; I need to continue improving it to achieve better results.

As Lindsay was pondering, three goblins suddenly emerged from the bushes and appeared in front of him.

Goblins? What a coincidence, goblins again.

These three goblins stumbled upon Linsel by accident. Looking at the human adventurer opposite them, their expressions, which should have been evil, were now filled with terror.

"quack…"

Linsel raised his crossbow with his left hand, about to aim, when the three little ones turned around as if they had seen a ghost, quickly ran into the bushes, and disappeared.

What happened? Did they run away?

Lindsay thought for a moment and concluded that it was probably because there were too few of them, and the dire wolf head on his head had scared them away.

Anyway, there are no mutated species, and I'm pretty tired right now, so I might as well run away.

……

Three days have passed.

Linchui Town.

At dawn, just as the sky began to lighten on the horizon, Boss Reland yawned and opened the door of the guild tavern.

Lindsay was already waiting outside the door.

"Oh, it's Lindsay. It's still dark outside. Why are you here so early today?"

"I just arrived too, and I'm eager to complete the mission."

Upon hearing this, the fat tavern owner quickly pulled Linsel inside.

"No need to wait outside, you can just walk in and wait. If you're staying at the hotel, you'll get a 50% discount on the room rate!"

"Okay, boss, give me a vegetable salad."

During the three days that Linsel rested, he did not use the [Shaman Monster Summoning Spell] again. After all, the monster's ability consumed too much mental and physical energy, and even today he still felt a buzzing in his head.

He handled many miscellaneous tasks.

I completed the herb-gathering task and received 2 points and 4 silver coins.

After weighing the options, I bought a new log shield for 3 silver.

They retrieved the helmet that had been repaired at the blacksmith's shop and had their wolfskin armor repaired at the tailor's shop.

After asking the old tailor shop owner, Zane said that the helmet and the wolf head fur hat could be combined and modified. All that was needed was to reshape the fur hat, cover it on the outside of the helmet, and then fix it in place.

It took him two days and cost him 5 silver coins.

However, it was all worth it. The new wolf-head iron helmet fit perfectly, and Linsel discovered through the panel that the combined armor of the winged helmet and the wolf-head fur hat reached 175.

At the guild training camp, I consulted Instructor Rhodes about my newly acquired [Heavy Strike] combat skill book. The reply I received was that I could practice it and try it out slowly to understand the remaining parts of the skill book.

After trying it out, Lindsay has developed his own understanding of [heavy blow], and it's only a matter of time before he masters it.

In addition, crossbow bolts and medicine were replenished.

Lindsay was enjoying his salad breakfast when he glanced at the tasks on his task list.

We're a bit early; the new tasks haven't been released yet.

A person in a green uniform came down from the second floor; it was Gina Weil.

"Adventurer, you're here early. I'll scan out today's quest list right away."

"Thank you for your trouble," Lindsay said politely.

After he finished breakfast, he came to the bar, where the owner, Rayland, was still wiping the wooden cups.

"Boss, could you keep an eye out for a few reliable adventurers for me?"

"You're worried about encountering troublesome adventurers, right? No problem, I know all the adventurers in Linchui Town!"

Lindsay ordered another glass of ale, and by then Gina had already pasted the quest sheet onto the quest board.

She beckoned to Lindsay: "Hey, Dark Iron adventurer, judging by your wolf head, you must be Lindsay. Come into the office, I have something to tell you."

Is something the matter?

Lin Sai entered the guild office, and Gina closed the door.

"After the investigators' investigation a couple of days ago, we learned that 'Flat Nose' (Bronze Level) was indeed harmed by 'Scarface' (Bronze Level), so now you're the only one left in the [Sharp Teeth] team."

And since you possess the badge, the guild now officially recognizes you as the leader of the [Sharp Teeth] squad.

"The squad's maintenance costs are too high, can you lower them?" Lindsay asked.

"I was just about to tell you this. Sure, because all the members of the [Sharp Teeth] squad who are currently on record have either permanently left the team or are no longer alive."

Therefore, maintenance costs have now been reduced to the lowest level, Bronze, requiring 1 silver coin every six months.

That's more like it, that's more reasonable.

Lindsay felt a weight lifted from his shoulders and was much more relaxed.

This officially made him the captain of the [Sharp Teeth] squad, even though he was alone.

Go check the quest log to see what quests are available today, preferably those that allow you to encounter new monsters.
