The six mercenary corps were still holding their ground. Looking from where Lin Li was, he could clearly see the heavily armored Silver Storm warriors holding their shields firmly restricting the Salamander to a narrow area. The sharp longswords slashed again and again, causing blood to splatter on the flaming body.
Following the roar of this legendary beast, its long tail swung across, creating a sharp sound in the air. Then, a rain of fire fell from the sky …
"Ah —"
Shrill screams could be heard continuously. Even Lin Li, who was far away, could hear them clearly. The power of a legendary magical beast was too terrifying. Just this rain of fire had killed quite a few adventurers in an instant. But the people of Silver Storm still did not retreat even half a step.
Because they had nowhere to retreat to …
Less than ten meters behind Silver Storm was the array of the six mercenary corps' mages. In that area, hundreds of mages were chanting their spells quickly. They allowed the rain of fire to fall on the Elemental Shield. Seeing the light of the Elemental Shield gradually dim, no one dared to stop their chanting.
Because they all knew that if they completed this chanting and heavily injured the Salamander, they might still have a chance of survival. But if they stopped chanting and allowed the Salamander to kill all the people of Silver Storm, then what awaited them would be death …
Silver Storm pressed closer and closer. The sharp longswords were continuously tearing deep wounds on the Salamander's body. The hundreds of mages behind them were also chanting faster and faster.
"This is bad …" Lin Li could clearly see that the Salamander's small eyes were emitting a dark red glow unscrupulously. The six mercenary corps were in big trouble. This was a sign that the Salamander was going crazy. He had come into contact with this legendary beast once. How could he not know how terrifying it was when it went crazy? To exaggerate a little, it was practically a power that could destroy heaven and earth.
With his current strength, provoking the Salamander was a dead end.
Unless …
He had a chance to make use of that weakness.
But this chance was too slim. Even Lin Li, who had hunted a Salamander before, had to admit that this kind of opportunity might not appear even once in a hundred times. To be able to encounter it was pure luck.
"Run!" Lin Li looked at the battlefield in the distance, and then looked at the frenzied Saruman Snake. He made a decision without hesitation.
But just as he turned around, he heard a heavy panting sound.
Lin Li turned his head to look, and saw a middle-aged man in his forties panting heavily while holding a sharp sword in one hand and leaning on a rock with the other.
The middle-aged man looked like he had just gone through an intense battle. His leather armor was drenched in blood and sweat, and there was a wound on his waist that extended all the way to his lower abdomen. Fresh blood was flowing out from the wound, and ashes and dust were mixed together, smearing the finely crafted leather armor into a mess. But for some reason, when Lin Li first saw him, he felt that this middle-aged man was very clean.
This strange feeling stunned Lin Li for a moment, but he quickly understood that the reason he had this feeling was mostly because of his hands. He was obviously in a sorry state, but his hands were spotless, including his right hand that was holding the sharp sword tightly. There was not even a trace of blood on it.
"Morning …" Lin Li scratched his head, and his expression was a little awkward. The six major mercenary corps were killing each other tragically, and yet he was hiding at the side to watch the show. Even with Lin Li's shamelessness, he could not help but feel a little regretful. He was too careless. I must hide better next time …
"Hehe, morning …" The middle-aged man smiled. Perhaps it was because it affected his wound, but the smile looked a little painful.
It was a troublesome place, and every second he stayed would mean one more second of danger. Lin Li hurriedly greeted them, and planned to sneak away with Sean and Argus. However, as soon as he turned around, he heard a loud bang coming from the battlefield in the distance before he could even lift his feet.
At the moment when this loud noise came, Lin Li felt as if he had been hit in the chest by something fiercely. Suddenly, there was a riot of colors in front of him, and countless little stars were flashing here and there. His mind was blank, and only the sound of "buzz buzz buzz" could be heard. The blood-soaked ground was trembling, and there was only a surging red cloud in the sky. The whole world looked like a scene of doomsday.
The raging fire was raging wildly, and large pieces of meteorites were dragging long tails of flames, tearing the sky with surging red clouds, and falling from the sky with an endless breath of destruction.
"Ah — Ah — Ah —!"
Shrill screams came one after another. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen of the hundreds of Silver Storm Warriors had been smashed down. In the face of this legendary flame power, even the rock-solid Silver Storm finally became flustered. No one could resist the meteorites with their bodies, and no one could resist the legendary magic Meteor Shower with their shields. The only thing they could do was to escape far away from this area that was shrouded in death.
"Rumble … rumble …" The rumbling sounds continued, and the whole earth seemed to be trembling. Countless meteorites fell on the Fire Plume Ridge, stirring up beautiful flames. Less than half of the Silver Storm warriors escaped from the meteor shower. Piles of charcoal emitted a burnt smell in the middle of the battlefield, mixed with the thick smell of blood. The smell was so strong that tears almost flowed out of people's eyes.
"What a sin …" Lin Li touched his nose, and did not want to watch anymore. These hundreds of Silver Storm Warriors were considered top adventurers in Alanna, and were not inferior to the regular army of the Felan Kingdom. But in the face of a legendary beast like the Salamander, they could only be sacrificed like cannon fodder …
When he finally recovered from the shock, and was about to escape with his two companions, Lin Li suddenly saw that the middle-aged man with the sharp sword was emitting an extremely powerful aura. Lin Li looked up in shock, and saw a silver Combat Energy rising up, and wrapped him tightly like a ball of silver flame. The middle-aged man was no longer as approachable as before. The aura emitted from his body was a unique aura of a top powerhouse. Lin Li had only felt this aura from a few people, such as Andoine, Old Grimm, and Aldwin. Even Macklin could not give Lin Li such a feeling.
"F * ck!" Lin Li almost fell to the ground. Motherf * cker, this guy is the Sword Sage of the Storm!
But immediately after, Lin Li's expression changed.
What kind of joke was this …
The Sword Sage of the Storm could not show his prowess earlier or later, but chose this moment to do it. Aren't you f * cking luring the Salamander to me?
Now that the Salamander was not satisfied, this Sword Sage of the Storm actually chose this moment to show off. To that legendary beast, this was even more effective than a strong aphrodisiac. Once this powerful aura was emitted, it would immediately entice the perverted Salamander to the point that it would not care about its life.
"F * ck …" Lin Li really wanted to die. This was probably the legendary 'a fire at the city gates brings disaster to the fish in the moat'. Did the Sword Sage of the Storm have nothing better to do to provoke the Salamander? What did this have to do with me? It's fine if you die, but what about me? I just broke through to the Archmage realm, and I haven't even had the time to satisfy my craving. Do I have to die with a b * tch like you?
In an instant, Lin Li's face turned pale. He ran forward in a panic, and fiercely raised his middle finger. "Sword Sage of the Storm, f * ck your mother!"
When this sentence fell into Argus' ears, it was as if Argus was struck by lightning …
"Argus, why aren't you running? Do you want to die?"
"Oh …" Argus only came back to his senses after being yelled at by Lin Li. However, his brain was still a little dizzy. F * ck, this fella is too arrogant … He even dared to scold the Sword Sage of the Storm, and in such a rough manner. Would the Sword Sage of the Storm be so angry that he would vomit blood?
Lin Li did not know if the Sword Sage of the Storm would vomit blood, but he knew that he was about to vomit blood.
This was probably the so-called 'the evils you bring upon yourself are the hardest to bear' …
After passing through a pile of rocks, Lin Li suddenly realized that he had nowhere to run. Looking down, he could only see cliffs that were so steep that it seemed as if they had been chopped by an axe. Looking at the surroundings, he realized that there was not even a rugged mountain road in all directions.
"I've gone too far …" Lin Li swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and desperately tried to recall the path he had taken when he went up the mountain. Only then did he suddenly realize that he had been running in a panic, and had actually fled in the wrong direction …
"What … What should I do …" Argus was afraid now. Originally, with his level-16 Archmage strength, it would not be a big deal even if he had fled in the wrong direction. At most, he could release a Levitation Spell and float from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. At most, it would just consume a little more mana.
But it was such a coincidence that the first time he was cornered, it happened to be when his strength was greatly reduced. Being pierced by the strange crossbow in the cave had directly pierced through half of his strength. Now, he was at most a level-10 Magic Shooter. Not to mention using a Levitation Spell to fly down, even using a Feather Fall Spell was more or less a struggle …
Lin Li had the strength of an Archmage now, but with his strength alone, how could he carry two people down? Even if he abandoned Argus as a captive, there was still Sean, the humanoid magical beast. His weight alone was already equivalent to that of two Argus …
"F * ck, I'll fight it out with you!" With no way out, Lin Li was also anxious. Without another word, he opened the Ring of Endless Storm, and took out nearly 10 glass bottles from it, as well as no less than 10 low-level herbs.
"Both of you, watch carefully. Absolutely do not let anything disturb me."
"Mr Felic, what are you …" Argus was a little puzzled. This was the second time he had seen this fellow take out glass bottles and herbs.
"Cut the crap if you want to live!"
