Chapter 159
The exploration team had already left the cave and met up with the others who were extracting crystals from the wolf beasts they encountered earlier.
With the twelve crystals they had gotten from the shadow panthers and the five from the wolves, the total number of crystals hunted that day stood at seventeen—meaning they had thirteen more to go before their assessment would be deemed complete.
After regrouping, they headed back to their cave hideout. Grey used his wind magic to levitate one of the wolves, which would serve as dinner for the night.
The return journey to the cave was quicker now that everyone had learned how to use mana skin, and no one was slowing Grey down. Along the way, several of them chatted, especially the members of the exploration team.
They discussed the dangers they encountered inside the cave, the tough battles, and the rewarding loot—which made the others quite envious.
