As for the three pieces of the debris of the stars that he had, Lin Li dared not take them out easily. He could suppress his own power, but he could not suppress the power of the debris of the stars at all. Fortunately, he had won the Helios' Scepter from Vidas during the battle in the Harvest Square in Roland City. With this staff that had once shone brilliantly during the Dark Age, the power of the magic spells that he cast would be greatly enhanced. Even if he did not use Legendary-level power, the power of the magic spells that he cast would not be inferior to that of a Legendary-mage.
The Red-backed Sickle-clawed Dragon roared with a faint menace of the Menace of the Dragon, but it did not affect the Legendary-mage Lin Li at all. The Crimson Dragon that Lin Li had seen in the underground palace of the Dragon Mountains had a much purer menace of the Menace of the Dragon than this bastard.
Before the Red-backed Sickle-clawed Dragon could get close to him, Lin Li had already finished reciting his spell. He waved the Helios' Scepter in his hand, and the earth magic Gravel Spear Cluster was instantly released at the feet of the Red-backed Sickle-clawed Dragon. Earth magic had never been good at attacking, but the Gravel Spear Cluster was a rather effective magic spell for dealing with earthly magical beasts. Sharp stone spears broke out of the ground and pierced the lower body and abdomen of the Red-backed Sickle-clawed Dragon.
In fact, this magic spell was also good for dealing with humans, but it was too despicable to be used on men, and too despicable to be used on women. Hence, many mages gave up on using it. Anyway, there were plenty of magic spells that could be used, and there was no need to be despised by others for the sake of one spell. However, this magic spell was very effective against earthly magical beasts, because everyone knew that the abdomen of earthly magical beasts was often the softest and weakest part of their bodies.
With the enhancement of the Helios' Scepter, the stone spears seemed to be made of crystal as they reflected the moonlight. The hardness of such crystal spears was not inferior to that of real weapons used by Warriors. Even though the Red-backed Sickle-clawed Dragon had inherited the strong defensive power of the wyrms, it was still somewhat disheveled.
Of course, the Red-backed Sickle-clawed Dragon was close to level-20, after all, and could not be defeated with just one spell. The sharp claws swept across like a sickle cutting vegetables, and the crystal spears were immediately flattened. However, it was during this short pause that an overwhelming number of spells came one after another, instantly drowning it in a storm of spells.
The process of the battle was not very thrilling. Although Lin Li could deal with the Red-backed Sickle-clawed Dragon without the Helios' Scepter, the Helios' Scepter did save him a lot of effort. It was just a magical beast that was close to the Legendary-realm. If it wanted to block Lin Li's path, there would only be one outcome — its corpse would be kept in the Ring of Endless Storm.
After getting rid of the Red-backed Sickle-clawed Dragon, Lin Li did not move on immediately. Along the way, there were more than a dozen corpses of high-level magical beasts in the Ring of Endless Storm. The appearance of this Red-backed Sickle-clawed Dragon that was close to level-20 made Lin Li consider the obstacles he might encounter in the future.
Just what had happened in the valley and what had caused so many high-tier Magical Beasts to gather here? It would be impossible to unravel this mystery until they reached their destination. However, there was one thing that Lin Li was certain of, and that was that he would definitely encounter powerful magical beasts like the Red-backed Sickle-clawed Dragon in the future. In fact, there might even be Legendary-level magical beasts. If he were to charge forward like this, he would probably not reach his destination by the time the Malfa Family and the Dark Blade settled the battle outside.
Lin Li was there to reap the benefits in advance, not to get into trouble for the two families. Instead of hindering his progress, he might as well leave this group of magical beasts to the Malfa Family and the Dark Blade. That way, he would have more time to react after reaching his destination.
Be it Thunderbolt, one of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, or the mysterious item that sealed Thunderbolt, they were all irresistible temptations to anyone. Lin Li was not naive enough to believe that the two major forces, the Malfa Family and the Dark Blade, would still talk about the morality of cooperation with him in the face of such a powerful artifact.
Moreover, Lin Li still had the three relics of Geresco, which were worth as much as the ruins of the Titans. It could be said that he was a moving treasure in the eyes of others. If he were to talk about morality with them now, God knew if they would find an excuse to share the loot with him.
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Li relaxed his furrowed brows, and took out a potion from the Ring of Endless Storm. If there were people around who knew their stuff, they would definitely gasp in amazement at the sight of the potion bottle. The potion bottle that was carved out of the Crystal of Eternity was a treasure that all pharmacists dreamed of. Potions that were stored in the Crystal of Eternity would almost be stored forever, and the longer they were stored, the stronger the properties of the potion would become.
Potions that were worthy of being stored in the Crystal of Eternity would definitely not be ordinary. It would be a waste of the low-level potions to be stored in the Crystal of Eternity. As a pharmaceutics Guru, Lin Li naturally wouldn't do something so wasteful. The potion that was stored in the crystal bottle in his hand was the real Master-level potion, the Invisibility Potion.
Lin Li was not a Bandit or an assassin, and he didn't know how to go into stealth or hide. If he wanted to pass through the valley without alerting the high-level magical beasts, he would have to rely on the magical effects of the potion. Lin Li believed that if he continued on like this, he would definitely encounter more powerful magical beasts. Magical beasts were born with better senses than humans, and even Legendary Bandits wouldn't be able to hide from their senses.
Such a Master-level Invisibility Potion would be worth more than 100,000 gold coins at an auction. However, for the sake of the debris of the stars, Thunderbolt, Lin Li did not hesitate at all. He twisted the cap off the bottle, and poured the light green potion into his mouth.
The slightly bitter potion flowed down his throat and into his stomach, and the gentle and rich potion instantly spread out. Lin Li's figure became more and more blurry at a speed visible to the naked eye, until he completely blended into the surroundings.
Simple invisibility was useless against the sensitive magical beasts. Many magical beasts didn't even have vision at all, and could only rely on smell, temperature, energy waves, and other characteristics to distinguish objects. The Invisibility Potion that Lin Li consumed could not be considered a Master-level potion at all if it only made him invisible. Apart from allowing the user to completely blend into the environment, the potion's more powerful effect was that it could conceal all the magic and Combat Energy waves in the body. Even breathing and heartbeat could be completely concealed.
When the effects of the potion were completely activated, Lin Li immediately rushed towards the depths of the valley again. No one knew how deep the valley was, and the effects of the Invisibility Potion could only last for 10 minutes under the enhancement of the Crystal Bottle of Eternity. Lin Li didn't want the effects of the potion to disappear suddenly when he walked into a group of Legendary magical beasts. That would be a huge joke.
The deeper he went into the valley, the more shocked Lin Li felt. At the same time, he was more impressed by his foresight to prepare this Master-level Invisibility Potion. He even suspected that all the high-level magical beasts in the Haiga Mountain Range were gathered in this small valley. Perhaps, even without the adventure notes provided by Cheyenne, what the adventuring team had experienced would not be much different from what they were experiencing now. Since the magical beasts were all gathered here, what was the use of avoiding their territories? Those areas that were marked as dangerous would probably be empty by now.
In the beginning, Lin Li only encountered magical beasts that were close to level-20, such as the Flashing Wing Moth and the Silver-Maned Bear King. In front of these magical beasts that were not even Legendary-level, Lin Li, who had used the Invisibility Potion, was just like air, and did not attract any attention.
However, when Legendary-level magical beasts appeared, Lin Li had no choice but to slow down even with the help of the Invisibility Potion. For magical beasts, level-20 was also a huge threshold that could produce a qualitative change. Not only did Legendary-level magical beasts have a huge increase in strength, but their various senses were also worlds apart from magical beasts that were below Legendary-level.
Although Lin Li was very confident in his potions, most of the time, people failed miserably because they were too confident in themselves. He did not want to make such a mistake.
As it turned out, Lin Li's worries were not groundless. Although the Evil-winged Chimaera that was circling above his head did not notice his presence, it obviously seemed to have sensed something, and was even moving along with him.
It was Lin Li's second time seeing a magical beast like the Chimaera. The first time was in the small wooden hut in Tutankhamun in the Blackstone Mountains. There, he saw the battle between Geresco and the Evil Eye Tyrant through the Time Beacon Spell, and the first to appear was a four-headed Chimaera.
However, unlike the four-headed Chimaera, the Evil-winged Chimaera that was circling above Lin Li's head only had two heads — the heads of two goats, the body of a lion, the tail of a snake, and the huge black wings on its back. However, one should not think that this Chimaera was immature and easy to bully just because it only had two heads. The Evil-winged Chimaera was actually a type of Chimaera, and was different from the four-headed Chimaera. Although it did not have the magical talent of the four-headed Chimaera, it had stronger physical strength, and was also more proficient in wind and fire magic.
The Evil-winged Chimaera roared in a low voice, and swept past Lin Li's head from time to time. It seemed to be wondering what it had sensed, and why it could not find its real target.
Lin Li did not dare to speed up. Although he was not afraid of the Evil-winged Chimaera with his strength, once his tracks were exposed, it would not be a problem that could be solved in a short time.
