Of course, Ujfalusi didn't really care about those things. Instead, he reported to Lin Li that he had bought herbs with the Seven Leaf Grass caravan.
Back in Roland City, Lin Li had once asked the boss of Seven Leaf Grass, Charles, to help him find some rare herbs from the Tree of Emerald in the City of Late Winter. However, at that time, Charles was worried about the blockade of the trade route to the City of Late Winter, and had even hired Sienna's mercenary corps to protect him.
However, it was said that the second largest bandit group in the Breezy Plains, the Storm Bandits, were on the trade route. Hence, even Sienna found the task tricky. Lin Li wanted to make use of Charles' connections in the City of Late Winter, so he agreed to send 10 Archmages and Lich Ujfalusi from the Tower of Dusk to protect them.
At that time, Lin Li hadn't thought that he would come into contact with the elves in the Haiga Mountain Range. Otherwise, he wouldn't have wasted so much effort. Anyway, the elven elder had already promised to provide a lot of convenience in terms of herbs.
When Lin Li left the Tower of Dusk, the caravan of Seven Leaf Grass had also set off. However, before Ujfalusi left, Lin Li had instructed him to meet him in the Haiga Mountain Range after arriving in the City of Late Winter. Lin Li also knew that he was lacking in power, and Ujfalusi had already regained his Legendary-level strength, which would be of great help to his exploration in the Haiga Mountain Range.
After escorting the Seven Leaf Grass caravan to the City of Late Winter, Ujfalusi left the 10 Archmages behind to continue protecting them, while he followed Lin Li's instructions and found the elves' campsite with the help of the Soul Contract.
Although Ujfalusi was alone, a Lich naturally had his ways. Besides, the birth of the baby Elemental Wyrm had caused the Haiga Mountain Range to be in a state of panic. Hence, they didn't encounter any danger along the way.
However, although the City of Late Winter was on the edge of the Emerald Forest, it was still a little far away. Hence, Ujfalusi arrived a few days later than the high-level elf who had gone back to retrieve the Star-scarred Robe.
The elves of the Queldana Family, the Malfa Family, the Dark Blade, and the Tower of Dusk sat together to discuss the next step of the team. At the same time, on the elves' side, there was another breathtakingly beautiful Princess Elune, in addition to the eighth elder Randy and several high-level elves.
Actually, Lin Li was rather surprised when he first found out about Princess Elune's identity. To the elves, the elven princess had a more important meaning. As the only successor of the elven queen, it would be an irreversible loss to the elves if anything were to happen to her.
However, although Lin Li was curious, he did not ask the elven elder about it. This was a family matter of the elves, and an outsider like him had nothing to ask about.
First, Elune told them about the experiences of her and her companions, after which Elder Randy told them about the clues they had about the lost relics.
During this period of rest and reorganization, the three human factions had also been researching and discussing the location of the Immortal King's treasure. Now that they had compared the clues that Chief Elder Randy had mentioned, they realized that everyone was heading in the same direction. As for whether the Immortal King's treasure was related to the lost sacred relic of the elves, no one could be sure.
However, Chief Elder Randy made a promise to the humans on behalf of the elves. Even if their goals overlapped, the elves would only take the sacred relic, and would not lay a finger on the other items in the Immortal King's treasure.
Soon, both parties reached an agreement, and set off towards the Haiga Mountain Range according to the clues.
As adventurers in this world, they all knew the dangers in the depths of the Haiga Mountain Range. Hence, when they were packing up the campsite, both the humans and the elves had a grave expression on their faces. No one knew if they could make it out alive, but they had no reason to retreat.
When they really stepped into the depths of the Haiga Mountain Range, they finally understood what it meant to be a forbidden area for life. Powerful magical beasts were just like the wild beasts that were commonly seen in the mountains. Some of the magical beasts were even unknown to the adventurers. Magical beasts that were rarely seen in the outside world could be seen everywhere. Some level-16 and level-17 magical beasts were even at the bottom of the food chain.
Battles were inevitable, just like how it was inevitable for a person to step on other people's feet in a crowd. Once they stepped out of the territory of a magical beast, they would soon step into the territory of another group of magical beasts. There was not even a buffer zone between the territories of the magical beasts. The adventurers that were formed by humans and elves often could not even find a place to set up camp.
At this moment, everyone understood why they had to rest for such a long time. Resting here was a very luxurious thing, and there were even more magical beasts appearing at night. High-intensity battles were constantly happening, and there was almost no rest. Even though the adventurers took turns to fight, it was still difficult for them to really rest in such an environment.
The only exception in this team was the so-called four forces, the President of the Tower of Dusk and his Undead servant. The three of them were just like masters. During the exploration for more than half a month, they would not intervene in almost all the battles that they encountered if they could avoid it. However, they had definitely gained a lot. In fact, they could even be considered to be the party that had gained the most out of the four forces. Every time a battle ended, there would be a large number of high-level magical crystals in his pocket, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all.
The adventurers of the Malfa Family and the Dark Blade were already somewhat used to such things, but the elven Warriors were really eye-opening. They had long heard from the elders of their race about the various shameless acts of humans, but the young elves were still in disbelief. However, it seemed that the elders who were narrating the story had probably never really come into contact with shameless humans before. Hence, they definitely wouldn't glorify them like that.
They were too shameless, especially that Undead creature. Not only did it snatch the spoils of battle with its speed, it even transformed into a large group of bats that snatched a large number of magical crystals. After the bats merged, they immediately hugged the magical crystals and handed them to the shameless human mage as if it was a matter of course.
To be honest, they didn't come here for those few magical crystals in the first place, even though they had taken such a huge risk. However, the behavior of the human mage and the Vampire was too much. If they wanted the magical crystals, they could have killed the magical beasts themselves. Both of them were almost in the Legendary-realm. Would it be difficult for them to deal with some magical beasts?
After half a month, the elves were really disgusted with Lin Li's way of doing things. They were all intelligent races, but why was there such a huge difference in morals? However, the elves dared not speak up, not only because of the request of the higher-ups, but also because they really had to beg the human mage for help.
After entering the depths of the Haiga Mountain Range, the powerful magical beasts were definitely a great threat to the adventurers. However, the truly lethal threat came from the seemingly inconspicuous magical beasts that were not powerful enough to be called magical beasts.
Poisons and curses were naturally sharp weapons that some magical beasts were born with. In the depths of the Haiga Mountain Range, which was known as the forbidden zone for life, the magical beasts that relied on poisons and curses to survive among the many powerful magical beasts would definitely have unimaginable power.
Low-level antidotes were of no use here at all. Even the intermediate and high-level potions that the elves had prepared in advance had little effect in the face of the increasingly insidious poisons and curses. At this time, the importance of a pharmaceutics Master was greatly demonstrated.
Although Lin Li did not deal with the magical beasts that attacked, and even let Norfeller snatch the spoils of battle from others, he would not be stingy when there were poisoned people or elves in front of him. Of course, there was another reason why he was so generous, and that was because the herbs were all provided by the elves.
Under such circumstances, no one dared to say anything. No one could guarantee that they would not be poisoned in such an environment. Everyone knew that the young human mage would not even give face to the Elven Elders for the sake of his Undead servants. If they offended him, did they still want to live? If they got poisoned, it wouldn't be a matter of a few magical crystals.
The elves did not know much about the poisoning of Princess Elune, and did not know what kind of price the elder had paid to hire the human mage. However, the fact that the eighth elder had personally gone to hire a human was already an incredible thing. In the eyes of many elves, the price of their dignity could not be measured by anything.
Finally, after half a month of arduous exploration, the exhausted adventurer team arrived at the top of a cliff. It was said that this was the place that the elves had mentioned in the clues, and it was also a landmark mentioned in the human's treasure map.
After clearing up and driving away the surrounding magical beasts, the team began to set up camp. Be it humans or elves, they all needed to rest at this time, even though the rest time might be very short. While setting up camp, the main figures of the four forces came to the vicinity of the cliff to see if they could find any clues.
In such a place, ordinary people could no longer complete the task of reconnaissance. Even Legendary powerhouses would end up in a miserable state if they were left alone. For those below the Legendary-realm, they would probably not be able to retrieve them. Reconnaissance was simply like improving the food for the magical beasts. Hence, in order to understand the situation and find clues, the Legendary powerhouses could only use a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
"Master Felic, the situation doesn't seem good." After arriving at the cliff, Cheyenne couldn't help but frown, and turn his head to speak to Lin Li.
Not good? It's more than not good! Lin Li actually felt it more clearly than the others. There was an extremely majestic Menace of the Dragon coming from the bottom of the cliff. Lin Li might have a deeper understanding of the Menace of the Dragon than the other Legendary powerhouses. Not long ago, Lin Li had a huge battle with the Elemental Wyrm's projected avatar in the nameless valley. The tender Elemental Wyrm Xiao Hua was currently in the Ring of Dream Garden on his finger, and it had to use a few magical crystals to appease its emotions every day.
Borg's expression was equally sullen, and he said in a low voice, "It's the Menace of the Dragon. Is there a wyrm under this cliff?"
However, Lin Li shook his head, and said, "It's the Menace of the Dragon, but there might be more than one wyrm." He could clearly feel the heterogeneity in the majestic Menace of the Dragon, which meant that there was more than one source of the Menace of the Dragon. In that case, the answer was obvious: there was definitely more than one wyrm below.
Of course, it was still unclear whether that was a good thing or a bad thing. Everyone had their own opinions on whether a single wyrm with such Menace of the Dragon was more difficult to deal with, or several wyrms with such Menace of the Dragon.
However, Lin Li's words attracted a strange gaze from Elder Randy. After all, it was not easy for a Legendary powerhouse to sense the difference in the Menace of the Dragon. As long as a wyrm appeared, it would definitely be above the Legendary-level, and the Menace of the Dragon would also have a great impact on Legendary powerhouses.
Several Legendary powerhouses stood on the cliff in silence while calculating the various possibilities in their hearts. Although they had encountered many powerful magical beasts along the way, ordinary magical beasts couldn't compare to dragons. Since they had already come this far, no one was willing to back down. However, how were they going to face the Giant Dragons that were highly likely to exist? Moreover, there was more than one of them. As the leaders of their respective factions, they had no choice but to consider this.
The bottom of the cliff was shrouded in thick fog, making it impossible to see the situation below. From the Dragon's Might, everyone could feel that the strength of the one who could release such Dragon's Might was definitely not disappointing. It was definitely at the Legendary-level or above. The strength of wyrms wasn't just limited to their power level, high magic resistance and physical defense, some kind of powerful innate talent, and the terrifying Draconic Magic. It could be said that even at the same level, a wyrm was definitely not something a Legendary powerhouse could resist, let alone kill.
Although this adventurer team was made up of elites from various forces, the strength they possessed was already very powerful. However, in the face of a terrifying creature like the Giant Dragon, even if he could win in the end, he would have to pay a terrible price. Besides, there was still no way to figure out how many wyrms there were down there. They might be able to deal with one or two of them, but what if there were a few more? Even if their subordinates joined in, they might not be able to achieve any effect.
Feeling worried, everyone returned to the campsite to discuss what to do next. However, there was one advantage of being there, which was also what they found strange previously. There were very few magical beasts here, and they reckoned that it should be because of the Dragon's Might at the bottom of the cliff. Even magical beasts that were as powerful as wyrms would be affected by the Dragon's Might, not to mention that there might be more than one wyrm at the bottom of the cliff.
After returning, Elder Randy first sent a few teams of elves to investigate the situation around the cliff. The existence of the Dragon's Might made it much less dangerous here than in other places, and the elves could also investigate without worry.
In fact, the problem they were facing now was how to get down the cliff and how to face the wyrms that were likely to appear. Be it the clues obtained by the elves or the clues obtained by the humans from the treasure map, they could all roughly infer that the Immortal King's treasure was very likely to be related to the bottom of the cliff.
Lin Li was actually more certain than the others now, because he could already clearly feel that Thunderbolt should be somewhere under the cliff with the debris of the stars in his hand.
However, how to get down the cliff was a problem that needed to be thought about urgently. Although Legendary-mages knew how to use the Power of Flight, there was still no way to know how deep the cliff was. Besides, what if they were attacked by wyrms when using the Power of Flight?
Due to the fact that Legendary-mages used powerful magic, many battles would be carried out in the air. It could be said that it was not difficult for them to fight in the air. However, the thick fog at the bottom of the cliff was difficult to explore even with mental strength. If they wanted to fight in such an environment, their strength would be suppressed by at least half. If they were attacked by wyrms at this time, they would probably really lose their lives here.
After some discussion, they realized that there was actually no good solution to this situation. They could only wait for the scouts to return. Perhaps they could bring some information for reference and give everyone more inspiration and options.
The team rested near the cliff for two days. Due to the effects of the Menace of the Dragon, no magical beasts came to disturb them for the past two days. It could be said that everyone had a good rest. Although the Menace of the Dragon also had a certain impact on humans and elves, the Menace of the Dragon at the bottom of the cliff was only emitted naturally, and not deliberately suppressed. Hence, that was the difference between intelligent races and magical beasts.
Finally, a team of elven scouts returned with some good news. They explored along the edge of the cliff, and found a path that seemed to lead to the bottom of the cliff. However, the strength of the team of scouts was limited, and they did not carry out in-depth exploration. It was because there were not only terrifying magical beasts and ubiquitous poisonous gas on the path, but also a mysterious force that restricted all Nature Magic.
Even so, the news still made everyone excited. Elder Randy praised the team of scouts who brought back the news, and then discussed with the three human forces about how to explore the path.
According to the news brought back by the scouts, it was basically impossible to enter in such a large group. Lin Li analyzed the poisonous gas that was collected. Although it was not as difficult to deal with as Viper's poison, it was impossible to concoct a large amount of potions that could resist the poisonous gas. However, there was one thing that could be guaranteed to not be affected by the poisonous gas with Legendary-level strength.
