Chapter 41: The Night of Truth.
Night had fallen once again, and they began preparing themselves to head out for work.
This was the seventh night since recovering the thirteen essences, which meant it was their fourth night going out.
On the first night, they recovered thirteen essences. After taking the following night off, they went out again and recovered six essences. Then, after another night of rest, they went out for the third time—but this time, they only managed to recover three essences.
Even a fool could tell that the amount of essence was decreasing night after night.
They mounted their goats and set off toward their destination.
The farther they got from the city, the better.
The deeper they ventured into the forest, the higher their chances of finding essence animals.
However, they wouldn't go too far just to recover essence.
Straying far from the city meant increased danger—only second-rank teams could handle unexpected situations.
Back when Ray Kang's squad operated from the fixed camp, they were stationed far from the city.
But the team had many more members—around three times the size of the current team.
