My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills-Chapter 102 - 97: Large Goblin Nest

"Haha, a medium to large nest, just a practice." Raine said with a smile.

"Brother, why not go to Valley of Dead Water. The guild has named this large task ’Disaster of the Valley of Dead Water,’ and the reward has been increased by 30%." Russell said enthusiastically.

"Thank you, I’ve already assembled my team for this time. Let’s team up next time when we get the chance." Raine politely declined with a smile.

"That’s really a pity."

"Alright, Russell, let’s not disturb Mr. Rein. Well then, Mr. Rein, hopefully we’ll have the opportunity to work together next time." Schneider said, patting Shield Armor Warrior Russell on the shoulder.

Quickly, after greeting Raine again, the group left the hall, and the rare Tiefling Druid also nodded slightly and smiled at Raine.

Meanwhile, the newly recruited Regina and others watched the departing Giant Blade Squad and, exchanging glances, internally exclaimed they had found a great support.

Even the mature captain of the Black Iron Level Adventurer Squad seemed very... how to say, respectful towards their leader Raine.

Yes, their eyes revealed respect.

They had been mixed among bottom adventurer squads for years, but they had honed their skills in observing people and circumstances.

"Well... Captain Raine, were those people just now from the Black Iron Level Adventurer Squad, the Giant Blade Squad?" Regina asked quietly.

"Yes, do you know them?"

"No, no, how could I know such big figures?" Regina quickly waved her hand.

"It’s just surprising that such big figures respect you, Captain."

"Haha, just happened to meet during a mission and helped a little." Raine smiled, not elaborating.

Perhaps among the four newly joined members, some initially thought of coming for an easy ride with a strong leader, but with this episode, they basically gave up on that idea.

They were mostly thinking, if they perform well, maybe there will be more opportunities to rely on strong support in the future.

Moreover, if they are lazy and get noted by Mr. Rein here, the future days...

"Captain, there are two tasks on the bulletin board to clear large Goblin Nests. Which should we take?" At this moment, Regina, the earliest to join, inquired.

"Let me take a look."

Raine nodded and immediately went to the bulletin board:

[Task ID]: Mill Town 0354

[Type]: Clearing

[Reward]: 85 Silver Coins

[Task Description]: South of Mill Town, near Gravel Beach Village in the dense forest, villagers have sighted large groups of goblins. Please clear these goblins.

[Completion Proof]: Submit proof, goblin corpses or other proving items.

[Time Limit]: 7 days.

(Note: Recommended for White Porcelain Level 3 adventurer squads to take.)

...

[Task ID]: Mill Town 0362

[Type]: Clearing

[Reward]: 95 Silver Coins

[Task Description]: West of Mill Town, before reaching Berry Village, on the north side of the road towards Azure Mine, villagers have sighted a group of goblins surrounding a tall figure suspected to be Bear Goblins. Please clear these goblins.

[Completion Proof]: Submit proof, goblin corpses or other proving items.

[Time Limit]: 7 days.

(Note: Recommended for White Porcelain Level 3 adventurer squads to take.)

...

’The descriptions of the two tasks do not mention the presence of mutated goblins.’

’Then, the closer one, the Berry Village one, can be reached in less than half a day. The other, going to Gravel Beach Village, would take at least a day and a half by carriage.’ Raine thought for a moment and immediately made a decision.

"Let’s take this one." Raine stepped forward and took down the 0362 task notice.

"Captain, this involves Bear Goblins." The two newly joined Warrior Apprentices glanced at each other.

"Hmm, not confident?" Raine asked with a smile.

"This..."

"Of course we are," The two Warrior Apprentices glanced at the pretty Miss Priestess next to them and immediately felt more assured, pounding their chests.

With an Official Priest present, what is there to fear!

However, at this moment, Elise was trying hard not to laugh and blinked at Raine. She wondered if she should speak the truth; she hadn’t mastered Healing Truth Mantra and couldn’t treat these two from a distance.

Raine just smiled at Elise, then said to the others, "If there really are Bear Goblins, I’ll take care of them."

Soon, after accepting the task, the group boarded a large carriage and set off for the destination.

"Captain, is this large carriage rented by you long-term?"

"In all my adventures, rarely have I had the chance to ride such a comfortable carriage." Regina couldn’t help exclaiming.

"Indeed!" several people nearby chimed in.

...

Several hours later.

"Poof!"

An arrow pierced a goblin’s neck while another startled goblin was about to call out loudly, when suddenly, a crossbow arrow hit its left eye, piercing its brain and killing it instantly.

A team of six adventurers swiftly advanced through the dense forest.

A Rogue Apprentice and Shield Warrior were at the front, in the middle was a Shooter, a young girl in a light yellow Priest Robe, and a young man in thick Plate Armor with a dark Shield; the rear defense was another Shield Warrior.

"Captain, the Goblin Cave should be just ahead."

Throughout the journey, Raine hadn’t made a move.

Since the team members already knew their captain was a Mage Apprentice, they naturally found it normal, as a Caster is supposed to deal with the tough monsters.

After all, there were patrol goblins along the way, whose strength might give ordinary bottom-tier adventurer squads some trouble, but these people were White Porcelain Level 3 adventurers.

They were the top among bottom-tier adventurers, naturally different.

Raine, looking at his temporary teammates’ skilled actions, nodded in satisfaction.

Whether it’s cutting ears or gathering loot from goblins, several people would handle it, while all he needed was to conserve his energy for dealing with the goblins inside the cave.

"We’ve arrived, Captain Raine." The Rogue Apprentice cautiously parted some shrubs and pointed a dozen meters away, speaking in a low voice.

In Raine’s view was a spacious cave entrance. If not for the four goblins roaming at the opening, the size of the entrance might easily lead one to mistake it for a brown bear’s cave.

"Captain, I’ll go lure them out."

"No need. Stay here and protect Miss Elise; I’ll go in alone." Raine shook his head, saying.

What?

Go in alone?

Did they hear wrong?

The four of them all widened their eyes in disbelief, looking at their captain.

"This... Captain, there could be dozens of goblins, Goblin Warriors, and Bear Goblins inside, are you..."

Even Regina nearly uttered, "Is this overreaching?" But instead, he chose a more tactful approach to speak.

"It’s alright." Raine smiled, shaking his head.

Everyone looked at Elise, the Official Priest, thinking, "Won’t you try to dissuade him?"

But they saw the Miss Priestess smiling broadly, appearing very interested.

"Don’t worry! Mr. Rein’s abilities are up to task." Elise addressed the concerned and doubtful looks she received, assuring.

Upon hearing this affirmation from Official Priest Elise, even if they remained puzzled, they had to hold back their words.

"Then I’ll go in. Make sure to protect Miss Elise."

"Understood, be careful, Captain."

As soon as Raine dashed across the forest path, leaving a gray line, he reached the cave entrance; instead of halting, he charged directly inside.

"Whoa!"

"Is this Combat Skill Charge?" Two Warrior Apprentices watched in disbelief at the fast-moving figure, exclaimed.

Isn’t the captain supposed to be a Mage Apprentice?

How could he also know combat skills?!

"Wait, is the captain..." Regina also couldn’t help but mutter softly.

Because they saw Raine not stopping, nor casting spells against the four goblins at the entrance, but directly charged in.

What’s the plan?

Their minds cluttered with questions.

"Don’t worry, it’ll be over in a while." Over the past half month, Elise had grown accustomed to Raine entering goblin nests and emerging within two minutes.

Upon hearing this assurance from their priestly pillar, the team felt a bit at ease.

"By the way, did you notice the captain had a ring of white frost on him?" The observant Rogue Apprentice suddenly queried curiously.

....
