Cultivating in the Wizard World

Chapter 96: Outpost


"What is it?" Amy asked curiously.

"From the energy structure, it should belong to the category of a shrine."

Jeming described in detail the information he had gathered.

"A shrine guarded by beastman elite?" Victor frowned and asked in a low voice, "Jeming, are you sure? The guards there are at least battle-hardened beastman warriors, maybe even shamans who can wield divine spirit power. The three of us..."

Amy also felt a bit nervous, gripping her magic staff: "We just landed, going directly to trouble the beastman elite, isn't it too risky?"

Jeming calmly glanced at the two: "Precisely because it's elite-guarded, their numbers will be small."

He explained carefully to the two: "To maintain as much secrecy as possible, such an important faith hub, the core guard won't be large, following an elite route, at most a dozen. The number of outer core guards might be more, but not in the hundreds."

"Also, this shrine's strength is not high, based on my scouting, although the guard units inside are strong, they're within the scope we can handle."

He paused, then continued: "Additionally, we need to test the combat methods of this world's intelligent creatures, see their extraordinary power usage and combat habits. This helps us understand the enemy, and if we can capture alive, maybe we can gather some intelligence."

"If the opponent's strength is within the scope we can handle, it might be worth considering, after all... gathering some intelligence is certainly necessary." Victor thought for a moment, nodded.

"We are not clear about the specific situation of this plane, at least need to obtain some basic enemy intelligence."

Amy also nodded in agreement: "And there's also language-related intelligence, after all, if we are to disguise later, this will inevitably be necessary..."

"Moreover." Jeming pointed roughly in the direction of the shrine, "This shrine may be small, but based on energy fluctuations and structure analysis, it should be the faith hub of the nearby area beastman troops, capable of providing continuous blessings and recovery for the frontline beastmen."

"Destroying it will significantly impact the battle situation in this area, allowing us to earn a large amount of contribution points." He added the last point, "More importantly, this is a perfect opportunity to hone our combat coordination among the three of us."

Victor and Amy exchanged a glance, mutually nodded — they were convinced.

Both understood, risks and opportunities coexist.

Not to mention the importance of intelligence, just the contribution points for this overall assessment are quite significant, which are not just mere numbers, but real benefits that can be actually acquired in the future.

"Since we've decided to attack, then, swift action, as far as possible to stealth directly into their core area, a quick kill, and decide based on the situation whether to leave anyone alive."

Seeing both nodded in agreement, Jeming quickly arranged relevant matters: "After taking out their core units, do not entangle too much, rapidly escape while trying to eliminate enemies attempting to pursue us."

The two had no objections to his arrangements, through the previous subjugation of monsters, the trio had tacitly established Jeming's leadership position.

Amy also nodded, took out a witchcraft artifact from her backpack: "I can use this to do a soul search to obtain intelligence, as long as the action is fast enough, it can be done in just a few breaths."

"Fifth Level Witchcraft Artifact, you actually have such a good thing?" Jeming raised an eyebrow.

Victor beside him was also somewhat surprised.

Amy took out a witchcraft artifact specifically used for searching intelligence, inscribed with the witchcraft model "Soul Search".

"Soul Search" can be constructed beginning from a First Level Wizard, but with higher wizard level, the effect is better.

When a First Level Wizard uses it, it takes long time, and only scant intelligence can be obtained, often useless information.

And the soul of the target of released witchcraft will also collapse.

At the Fifth Level, not only is the time cost extremely low, targeted intelligence can be searched.

Jeming was also prepared, but without Amy's higher level, since Amy presented hers, he didn't take out his own.

After all, since they were now a team, everyone should contribute a bit.

"Hehe… I got this with the help of my mother's connections." Amy chuckled apologetically.

Jeming nodded, immediately revised the previous plan: "If it's so, then revise the plan, I'll try to leave a more significant enemy alive. Besides language information and basic intelligence, see if there's information about searching for us wizards in the enemy's soul, and if finding their action routes would be even better."

"Not bad, that way we can confirm the subsequent action direction based on the intelligence, if few in number solve them entirely, if many then look for their weak point to escape." Victor also agreed.

Since this was the first time participating in a real plane battlefield, even if the enemy's strength was not strong, the three were quite cautious.

After slightly confirming the subsequent plan, the three quickly reached a consensus, rapidly adjusting their state, stealthily advancing toward the target Jeming had selected.

On his Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror constructed tactical map, every beastman patrol's movement trajectory, even their body's faint life fluctuation and coarse energy flow, all were clearly visible.

He chose an optimal path for infiltration, avoiding all patrols, like a ghost, silently approaching the shrine.

This time, Amy and Victor truly experienced Jeming's "terrifying" intelligence advantage.

Under Jeming's guidance, their stealth was practically unimpeded.

Jeming occasionally signaled them to stop, sometimes urging them to accelerate.

Worried about being discovered by the enemy, the two tacitly stopped using scouting witchcraft.

But until reaching the core area, no one discovered them.

Finally, a cave emanating faint light appeared before them.

Inside the cave was a small shrine made of rock and huge vines, carved with primitive yet forceful totems.

Around the shrine, ten burly beastman elites were idly patrolling. Among them, eight were giant axe-wielding, muscle-bound warriors of warrior class, the other two were holding bone staffs, bodies painted with strange pigments, shamans.

The aura from them was several times stronger than previous encountered monsters, had reached Third Level Apprentice level, those two shamans had even reached the pinnacle of Third Level Apprentice.
