Chapter 143: Thornbacks

After pillaging the bandit camp and seizing their coins, Archer ventured deeper into the Howling Jungle.

He spent hours scouring the jungle, relying on his Aura Detector to uncover the elusive bandits.

Along the way, Archer encountered traders and soldiers who, upon recognizing him, expressed gratitude and offered well wishes.

Eventually, he stumbled upon a large bandit camp at the base of the formidable Grimshadow Mountains.

Approximately two hundred bandits lazed about, indulging in ale and idling around.

Even from the tree he perched in, he could smell the aroma of ale wafting up. He continued observing the bandits, noting only a few guards watching the camp.

With the waning afternoon sun in sight, Archer knew that Teuila and Ella would likely arrive in a few hours.

As he pondered a quick method to clear the camp, a smile spread across his face as an idea took hold. Archer leaped from the branch, soaring into the sky above the camp.
