Lin Li was well aware of that, and that was also the reason why he was feeling bewildered. What he was facing now was too illogical. He was no longer certain if the magical aura that he had sensed through the three pieces of the debris of the stars belonged to Thunderbolt, because the magical aura actually existed at the same time as the magical aura of the wyrm.
In Anril, there was probably no one who knew the debris of the stars better than Lin Li. Thunderbolt was a piece of the debris of the stars that represented the origin Laws of the wind, and its greatest characteristic was that it was free and unrestrained. At the same time, the power of Thunderbolt under the origin Laws of the wind was the most violent and incisive force, and had a powerful offensive power that could destroy all obstacles. The magical aura of Thunderbolt was a combination of those characteristics. It was free and unrestrained, and any suppression would inevitably lead to a merciless counterattack.
The situation that Lin Li was sensing now was actually the coexistence of two kinds of magical auras. The magical aura of the ancient wyrm and the magical aura that he suspected of being Thunderbolt seemed to be coexisting harmoniously. There was no suppression, no resistance, no fusion, and no obvious opposition.
Lin Li could not explain the situation, and had no choice but to temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart, and carefully continue to explore the halo with his mental strength. Perhaps, the answer to all the mysteries lay in the depths of the halo. Although Lin Li was anxious, he dared not be careless in the control of his mental strength.
However, as his mental strength explored deeper, Lin Li's tightly pursed lips gradually relaxed, and then slowly opened them again until they were opened to the widest, but they did not close for a long time. His frown deepened, and his eyes unconsciously widened. Even his breathing became a little heavy.
Yes, it was indeed a wyrm. Lin Li was 100% sure that it was a pure-blooded ancient wyrm, and not a descendant of a mixed bloodline.
Although Lin Li was sensing the situation in the halo with his mental strength, it was as if it was presented in front of him. If it were someone else, they might have made a mistake, but it was not like Lin Li had never seen wyrms before. Hence, he was rather confident in his judgment.
Back in the Endless World, Lin Li's main profession was a Hunter. With the Stars of Fury and the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, he had even killed the Dragon of Destruction, one of the Dragon Aspects, let alone the ordinary ancient wyrms that were inferior to the Dragon Aspects. It was no exaggeration to say that the number of wyrms that Lin Li had skinned and bled was definitely an unimaginable number for ordinary people. Otherwise, before he transmigrated, he would not have been able to find all the high-grade materials he had spent on leveling up his smurf life profession.
If that didn't prove anything, Lin Li had also come into contact with ancient wyrms after coming to Anril. Tutankhamun, who had been guarding Geresco's three relics in the Blackstone Mountains, was an ancient wyrm. Furthermore, he was the son of the Dragon Aspect, the Dragon of Destruction.
In the Abyss of Tharlen, although the Lord of Darkness was the Demon Lord of the Abyss of Tharlen, he was also a projected avatar of the Dragon of Destruction in the Abyss of Tharlen. Hence, he naturally had the magical aura of the Dragon Aspect. In the underground palace of the Dragon Mountains, there was a Crimson Dragon that had been imprisoned by Osric for thousands of years. Although it could not be compared to the Dragon Aspect, it was still a descendant of the pure ancient wyrm.
It could be said that Lin Li could be considered an expert in wyrms. There was no doubt that the one lying in the halo was a pure-blooded ancient wyrm.
However, the problem was that this wyrm was … too damn pocket-sized!
Through the perception of his mental strength, Lin Li felt as if he had seen it with his own eyes. The one lying in the halo was actually an ancient wyrm that was only the size of a palm. Perhaps it was not appropriate to call it a wyrm, but Lin Li did not know how to address it. Should he call it an ancient pocket-sized wyrm?
Looking at the appearance of the pocket-sized wyrm, its head was as big as its body. Its limbs were short, and the pair of wings on its back was so thin that they were almost transparent. They covered its body and trembled slightly as it breathed. Its body was shrouded in colorful rays of light, and the halo that Lin Li saw from the outside was formed by the rays of light.
Not to mention Lin Li, who was an expert in wyrms, anyone could tell that this was the standard size of a cub. In other words, this wyrm should be a cub. However, even if it was a cub, its size was a little too pocket-sized. It was not that Lin Li had never seen other young wyrms. Compared to this pocket-sized wyrm, the size of normal young wyrms was probably more than a hundred times larger.
Even if this little thing was not an ancient wyrm, the magical aura that it emitted was something that only a pure-blooded ancient wyrm would possess. Besides, the Menace of the Dragon brought about by the bloodline of an ancient wyrm was not something that could be imitated by ordinary mixed-blood descendants.
It was just like how humans who had been in a high position for a long time would naturally develop an aura that could make lowly people feel ashamed of their inferiority without much power. The ancient wyrms were the overlords of the prehistoric times, and their bloodline had a power that made them look down on everything. That was the so-called Menace of the Dragon. It was like a kind of innate magic that didn't require magical power. It didn't need to use the slightest bit of power to subdue those incomparably powerful magical beasts.
The purer the bloodline of an ancient wyrm, the stronger the Menace of the Dragon that it emitted. That was something that could not be faked. Lin Li had come into contact with many wyrms, and he would definitely not be wrong about the Menace of the pocket-sized wyrm. However, there seemed to be a deviation between his experience and reality now. What exactly is going on? Could it be that ancient wyrms also have a genetic mutation?
Of course, this was impossible. The Primordius Dragons were able to become the overlords of the prehistoric times because their strong bodies had long evolved to the most perfect stage. Perhaps even the gods did not have the ability to make their bodies mutate again.
Which branch of the Primordius Dragon was this? Lin Li's mind raced, and the scenes of the ancient wyrms that he had encountered from the Endless World to Anril flashed through his mind. He did not want to be a rash person who would rather wait for the Malfa Family and the Dark Blade to catch up without understanding the situation.
A drop of sweat slowly slid down Lin Li's cheek, and dripped onto the lush green grass silently. His widened eyes had already slowly closed, and were squinted into slits. Lin Li actually did not want the Malfa Family and the Dark Blade to get a share of the debris of the stars, Thunderbolt. However, if he did not figure out the origin of this pocket-sized wyrm, he would probably die a horrible death if he acted rashly.
Time was passing by, and Lin Li did not know how much the battle outside the valley was progressing. The effects of the Invisibility Potion on Lin Li's body were also about to wear off. However, at this moment, Lin Li's eyes suddenly widened, and an image appeared in his mind.
"Could it be …" Lin Li suppressed the horror in his heart, and used his mental strength to carefully observe the pocket-sized wyrm in the halo. From head to tail, to the two cicada-like wings, he linked all the characteristics together, and then compared them with the image in his mind.
Elemental Wyrm? Could it be that this little thing in the depths of the halo is actually a terrifying existence among the ancient wyrms? Lin Li was shocked by his own thoughts. The Elemental Wyrm was definitely a different species among the ancient wyrms, and possessed terrifying power that ordinary ancient wyrms could not reach. It was undoubtedly the king of the ancient wyrms.
If there had been a few more Elemental Wyrms among the ancient wyrms during the prehistoric times, the ancient wyrms would probably have been able to eliminate the Titans and become the true ruler of Anril. Unfortunately, since the prehistoric times, only one of the legendary Dragon Aspects of Anril, the Dragon of Dream, seemed to be an adult Elemental Wyrm. Other than the Dragon of Dream, there had not been any other Elemental Wyrms.
However, just because there were no Elemental Wyrms in Anril did not mean that there were none in the Endless World. Lin Li did not simply hear about the terrifying power of the Elemental Wyrm from legends, but had experienced it firsthand.
Back in the Endless World, Lin Li's Hunter had once encountered an Elemental Wyrm when he entered the Well of the Sun to retrieve the Stars of Fury and the debris of the stars. To be more precise, it was a projected clone that an Elemental Wyrm had placed in the Well of the Sun. However, it still made Lin Li suffer greatly at that time.
Ordinary ancient wyrms would be extremely strong in terms of physical strength, regardless of how proficient they were in magic. They would be able to look down on the world with their tyrannical physical strength alone. However, the bodies of Elemental Wyrms were slender and fragile. In terms of physical strength, they were completely different from the ancient wyrms of the same race. Besides, it was said that the claws of Elemental Wyrms could not even scratch a wooden table. Their physical strength could be said to be almost non-existent.
However, one should not think that such an Elemental Wyrm was easy to bully. Although the Elemental Wyrms did not have strong physical strength, the power that they possessed in terms of magic was something that the ancient wyrms of the same race could not compare to. The Elemental Wyrms were born with the four major elemental Laws of earth, fire, water, and wind. They had the highest magical power that was completely above all the creatures in Anril. Even the High Elves, who were born Magic Shooters and claimed to be perfect creatures comparable to the gods, had to lower their heads in front of the Elemental Wyrms.
Besides, all the mana of the Elemental Wyrms came from the four elements that were everywhere in the world. Hence, the mana of the Elemental Wyrms would never dry up. The most terrifying thing was that they could instantly cast all elemental magic below level-20. All of those enviable characteristics made them one of the most terrifying creatures in Anril during the prehistoric times when powerful prehistoric magical beasts were rampant.
