Vanessa took out a monocular from her pocket and lay on a hill. She observed the situation in the distance through the monocular. That was the location of the Goblin Cave.

Lind leaned over her in the same position and pretended to ask, “How’s the situation?”

In fact, Lind had already used the Blood Bat to observe the situation nearby.

“There are a few Goblins patrolling nearby, but there aren’t many of them. If we act quickly, we can get rid of them all and enter the cave.”

Vanessa spoke and moved.

She held the poisoned dagger and silently sneaked into the forest.

Lind didn’t make a move. He watched Vanessa curiously, watching her movements as she killed the Goblins.

There were five Goblins in front of her. Vanessa first found one that was alone at the outermost edge. She tiptoed and quickly came behind the Goblin. She reached out to cover the Goblin’s neck, then slashed the poisonous dagger under its neck.

Immediately after, Vanessa took out a small knife from her pocket. As she approached the second Goblin, she swung her other hand.

The knife turned into a meteor and stabbed straight into the third goblin’s head. At the same time, she had already slitted the second goblin’s throat.

Then, Vanessa stretched out her hand. The knife that was stuck in the third goblin’s head seemed to come alive and returned to her hand.

Lind narrowed his eyes at the sight.

This scene that went against the common sense of physics clearly proved that Vanessa could also use some supernatural powers.

However, Lind couldn’t feel any mana fluctuations from Vanessa. It seemed that this was another power system that didn’t belong to magic.

This also meant that in this world, besides magic, there were other types of supernatural powers.

Lind took this information to heart.

The knife returned, and Vanessa continued to approach the last two Goblins.

She jumped onto a tree and used her throwing knife to finish off the Goblin in the innermost area. At the same time, she jumped down from the tree and stabbed the Goblin’s spine in the air. Then, she cut its throat with her poisoned dagger.

Five Goblins died in Vanessa’s hands.

“Wow, gagagaga…”

However, just as Vanessa was about to call it a day, she turned around and saw two Goblins looking at her in horror.

The two goblins were not nearby just now and had slipped through the net. Coincidentally, one of the goblins was holding a warning horn.

It had raised its horn, ready to blow.

At this moment, Vanessa’s throwing knife was still hanging on the head of the Goblin at the innermost corner.

There was no way to stop the goblin from blowing the horn.

But at this time, two flames directly rushed to the heads of the two Goblins.

The huge shock wave formed by the flames killed the two Goblins on the spot, not giving them a chance to blow the horn.

“Mr. Ander, how did you catch up so quickly?”

Vanessa looked at Lind, her eyes wide with surprise.

She was an assassin. Agility was her strength.

Lind was a Mage. Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to catch up to her so quickly.

Vanessa didn’t wait for Lind, mainly because she wanted to show off in front of him.

In the end, she had almost failed. Fortunately, Lind had saved her.

Otherwise, they would probably be surrounded by groups of Goblins.

Although Vanessa was confident that she could escape unscathed, this mission was undoubtedly going to fail.

“Thanks a lot,” Vanessa said to Lind as she watched the two goblins burn from the fireball. “How did you keep up with me?” she asked curiously.

Instead of answering Vanessa’s question, Lind reminded her, “Don’t pry. Everyone has their own secrets.”

Vanessa wasn’t angry when she heard this. Instead, she looked at Lind with sparkling eyes.

She could guess why Lind had been able to keep up with her.

Among the Magic Elements, the one that excelled in speed was undoubtedly the Wind Element. With the support of the Wind Element’s speed, it would be normal for Lind to catch up to her.

Could it be that her temporary partner was not only a Rank 3 Spellcasting Mage in the fire class, but also one who had mastered the Wind Element?

A Spellcasting Mage was already favored by the heavens. Even a single-element Spellcasting Mage was an extremely rare existence.

Not to mention a dual-element Spellcasting Mage.

It was an existence with a one-in-a-million chance.

Every ten thousand people would have a Spellcasting Mage, and only one out of a hundred Spellcasting Mages would there be a Dual-Element Spellcasting Mage.

However, she didn’t understand why Lind would hide the fact that he knew how to use wind magic.

This made Vanessa even more interested in Lind.

After dealing with the Goblins at the entrance of the cave, Vanessa led the way into the Goblin Cave.

Lind quietly released a Blood Bat to observe the entire cave.

To Lind’s surprise, the cave was several times larger than he had imagined. A huge stone pillar rose from the ground, supporting the entire structure of the cave. Along the edge of the stone pillar, a spiral staircase led down to the ground.

The entire cave had several layers of structure. In just a few minutes, Lind had already observed three layers of underground structure.

“Be careful. The space in the Goblin Cave is very complicated. Be careful not to get lost.”

Vanessa reminded Lind in his ear.

Lind asked curiously, “Can Goblins really create such a complicated underground cave?”

This completely overturned Lind’s previous impression of Goblins.

In the games Lind had played and the novels and comics he’d read in the past, Goblins were low-intelligence creatures. Their camps tended to be extremely crude, and their weapons were rather outdated. It was impossible for them to have the ability to create such a complex underground cave.

Vanessa showed no signs of impatience at Lind’s question. Instead, she explained rather patiently.

“You noble mages know too little about these monsters. All creatures have their own beliefs and civilization, and even Goblins are no exception. Not only can they build such complicated and layered residences, but they also have gods they believe in. You’ll see when we go deeper into the cave later.”

Vanessa’s words stunned Lind. He quickly thought about the gods the Goblins would believe in.

Unfortunately, no matter how he thought about it, Lind couldn’t picture them at all.
