In that case, it could be confirmed that only Legendary powerhouses could enter the poisonous gas and explore the path. However, there was also a force that restricted Nature Magic. In other words, the elves' Druids and priests would also be excluded from the list. Hence, the number of people who could explore the path would be very limited.
"Is there anything else you would like to add about the candidates?" After making a rough list of the participants in the exploration, Elder Randy asked the representatives of the human side.
Borg looked around before turning to Chief Elder Randy, and saying, "Although my son, Stephen, has yet to reach the Legendary-realm, his physique is rather special, and he won't be affected by the poisonous gas. Let him tag along."
Upon hearing Borg mention Stephen, Lin Li turned to look at Borg. This spokesperson of the Dark Blade seemed to be hiding something. Everyone knew that the path was full of dangers, and the poisonous gas was just one of them. If the path really led to the bottom of the cliff, they might even be attacked by wyrms. Under such circumstances, a Legendary powerhouse would probably not be able to take care of himself, let alone a person without Legendary-realm strength. Borg was very proud of his son, and he definitely wouldn't let his son die. Hence, why did he insist on bringing his son along?
However, Lin Li did not probe further. Since Borg was willing to bring his son along, he would let him. He turned to look at the elven elder, and calmly asked, "Elder, since there is a force that restricts Nature Magic, you should be a Druid, right? Miss Elune should be a Druid too. You guys …"
Actually, it was not just that path. The entire Haiga Mountain Range had a force that suppressed Nature Magic. However, the deeper they went, the stronger the force became.
Chief Elder Randy smiled, and said, "Don't worry, Mage Felic. We naturally have a way to solve this problem. However, it's a little troublesome, and we can't promote it. Otherwise, the Haiga Mountain Range would really be under the control of us elves."
As long as he could take care of himself, there was nothing to worry about. Lin Li expressed that he had no objections to the list, and so did Borg and the others.
Lin Li was definitely part of the list, along with his Vampire Norfeller. Although Norfeller had yet to reach the Legendary-realm, he was only a step away from it. Moreover, as an undead creature, its resistance to poison was also very strong.
There was also the Lich Ujfalusi who arrived later. Although his strength was not obvious among the powerhouses, no one dared to underestimate the Lich who could summon a Humerus Wyrm.
Apart from Lin Li and his two Undead servants, there was also Cheyenne, the only Legendary-mage in the Malfa Family. The Dark Blade had three Legendary leaders and Borg's son, Stephen. On the elves' side were the Legendary Druids, Elder Randy and Princess Elune, as well as Culofen and Gildor who had once invited Lin Li.
After some serious preparations, the next day, the team of Legendary powerhouses advanced rapidly along the cliff in a certain direction according to the information provided by the scouts.
Due to the influence of the Dragon's Might, they did not encounter any obstacles along the way. Soon, the team arrived at the location mentioned by the scout. Under the shroud of the green fog, a path extended downwards, hidden in the depths of the green fog. Although it was called a path, it was actually not a path. It was wide, but the ground and surroundings were covered with strange rocks. Perhaps due to the influence of the poisonous fog, there were very few plants. In the green fog, they could vaguely see the skeletons of some magical beasts, some of which were powerful and difficult to deal with.
"Elder, it's here," the elven scout who led the way said as he pointed to the front.
The elven scout couldn't be sure if this path would lead them to the bottom of the cliff. After all, with their strength, there was no way for them to explore further. However, according to the direction of the path, they could roughly judge that it was very likely that they would be able to reach the bottom of the cliff.
After sending the scout back, the team of Legendary powerhouses got ready to enter the poisonous fog along the path. However, before they entered, Elder Randy reminded them, "Although we did not encounter any magical beasts along the way due to the influence of the Dragon's Might, we still have to be careful in this poisonous fog. According to our investigation of the Haiga Mountain Range, there are some magical beasts that are very fond of poisonous environments, and these magical beasts are often very terrifying. "
Don't think that you would be safe just because of the deterrence of the Dragon's Might and the shroud of the poisonous fog. Humans and elves could restrain their fear of the Dragon's Might, so not all magical beasts were afraid of the Dragon's Might. Although the poisonous fog was extremely toxic, and only Legendary powerhouses could resist it, it might be delicious to some magical beasts, just like how humans liked fresh air.
Magical beasts that were born with fire attributes mostly liked environments with abundant fire elements, while magical beasts with water attributes mostly lived in rivers and seas. Hence, it was not surprising that magical beasts that were gifted with poison liked places that were shrouded in poisonous fog. Even though there was still the presence of the Dragon's Might, humans would die for wealth, and the temptation of the poisonous fog might really make the magical beasts ignore the deterrence of the Dragon's Might.
The people present were all Legendary powerhouses who could be considered knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Hence, after hearing Elder Randy's reminder, everyone nodded in agreement. Although Legendary powerhouses could resist the erosion of the poisonous fog, it did not mean that they could resist the poisonous magical beasts that were bred in the poisonous fog. If they were to fall prey to it because of carelessness, they would be in big trouble.
After walking into the poisonous fog, everyone's vision was affected to a certain extent, and they could not see too far away. Every Legendary powerhouse was on high alert, and they slowly explored along the path.
Although the team of Legendary powerhouses was made up of four forces, they formed an inverted triangle formation. The four Legendary powerhouses of the elves were in charge of one corner, while the three Legendary powerhouses of the Dark Blade and Stephen were in charge of the other corner. Lin Li, his servant, and Cheyenne were in charge of the rear.
It turned out that what Elder Randy said previously was definitely not groundless. The team really encountered resistance soon after entering the poisonous fog.
More than 10 giant scorpions with emerald shells suddenly pounced out of the rubble and the ground. The giant scorpions' pincers were almost the size of a human, and their shiny shells were as smooth as a mirror. The weakest of them was at least level-16, and two of them were even close to the Legendary-level.
The corner of the Dark Blade was the first to be attacked. Together with the two strongest giant scorpions, there were a total of seven scorpions that surrounded the four members of the Dark Blade. The rest of the scorpions targeted the elves and Lin Li and the others at the back.
The giant scorpions were actually not rare magical beasts, and adventurers would often encounter them in the outside world, especially in the desert. Besides, the giant scorpions in the outside world were not considered powerful magical beasts. Most of them were around level-10, and level-15 was already considered the king of the scorpions.
However, the strength of the giant scorpions had increased greatly in this place, perhaps because the poisonous fog really had a nourishing effect. Whether it was in terms of attack power or the defensive capabilities of the carapace, the poison would definitely be even more vicious.
Lin Li continued to act in his usual manner, and remained unmoved in the face of the giant scorpions that were pouncing towards him. It was as if the giant scorpions were just an illusion. Cheyenne, who was at the side, could only sigh and wave the staff in his hand to stop the giant scorpions that were rushing towards him.
However, Lin Li was not really unconcerned about the situation at all. His gaze landed on the few members of the Dark Blade who were fighting with the giant scorpions. Although he had been with the Dark Blade for some time, the other two Legendary leaders of the Dark Blade were rather mysterious, apart from Borg whom he often interacted with. Lin Li had no idea what kind of strength they had, and he had a bad feeling about it.
Everyone knew that the moment the benefits of a cooperative relationship were obtained, it would usually mean the end of the cooperative relationship. By then, they would still not know how strong the other party was, and it would be like putting their lives in the hands of others.
Although the three Legendary powerhouses of the Dark Blade had all attacked along the way, Lin Li could tell that they had held back. However, could they continue to hold back? The giant scorpions only lived in the periphery of the poisonous fog. Would there be more powerful magical beasts in the depths? If they really reached the bottom of the cliff and faced the wyrm that might appear, would they still be able to hold back?
It could be said that Lin Li was definitely the weaker party among the four parties that were cooperating with each other now. He had to consider many things because the other three parties definitely had a reason to attack him. Was the Malfa Family reliable? Lin Li still had the three relics of Geresco. Did Cheyenne not want them at all? He had taken the Elves' Star-scarred Robe. Wouldn't the elves want them back?
However, among the three parties, Lin Li was the most worried about the Dark Blade. What kind of strength did the two Legendary leaders have? Why did Stephen suddenly join the exploration this time? Although Borg always had a smile on his face, could he really let go of the conflict between Lin Li and Stephen after the disintegration of the alliance of interests?
Lin Li's attention returned to the battlefield, and he secretly shook his head while looking at the Dark Blade. It seemed that the few giant scorpions were far from enough to make the Dark Blade reveal their strength.
All of a sudden, Lin Li's pupils constricted slightly. He saw Baldela, one of the Legendary leaders of the Dark Blade, draw his sword and attack. He sliced off the pair of giant pincers of the level-19 giant scorpion with one strike, and sliced the giant scorpion in half with the second strike. The giant scorpion that was close to the Legendary-realm was killed by Baldela's sword silently.
It seemed so easy, but Lin Li knew that the shell of the giant scorpion was not just for show. Coupled with its strength that was close to the Legendary-realm, ordinary Sword Sages would probably only be able to attack its joints. However, Baldela really lived up to his valiant image, and slashed the scorpion with brute force. There were many Sword Sages who could do that, but it was not easy to do it silently and effortlessly.
However, Lin Li knew that Baldela's attack was definitely not as easy as it seemed. That reminded him of a phrase that he had heard before he transmigrated to Anril — lifting something heavy as though it were light. That was not just a display of strength, but also a kind of realm, just like how mages comprehended the Laws of Elements. It was a kind of mastery of the Laws of Power that a Sword Sage had.
The legendary founder of the Dark Blade, the mysterious Legendary Bandit Lansdale, did not seem eye-catching, but he could make people feel a chill down their spines.
He was as elegant as a classical aristocrat, and even compared to the elves. However, he was a Bandit, and his elegance was not deliberately faked. His every move was pleasing to the eye. However, behind him was a giant scorpion that disintegrated instantly. The giant scorpion that was close to the Legendary-realm did not even have the time to block the attack, and just like a pile of temporarily put together toys, it collapsed instantly.
Lin Li knew that that was not their full strength, but it was still a testament to their strength. As for Stephen, who had been specially brought here by Borg, Lin Li had no idea what he was thinking. He did not attack at all, just like Lin Li.
He turned his head to look at the elves. Although they were also fighting the Dark Blade, the elves did not face many giant scorpions. There were only five level-17 and level-18 giant scorpions. The elven elder waved the magic staff in his hand, and a ray of light shone on the head of one of the giant scorpions. Immediately afterwards, the giant scorpion seemed to have gone berserk, and began to attack its companions.
Gildor raised his carved longbow, and an arrow was placed on it. As the bowstring was slowly pulled back, there seemed to be a stream of light surrounding the arrow. With a loud bang, the arrow disappeared instantly, and a bloody hole the size of a bowl suddenly appeared on the head of the giant scorpion that was pouncing over. There was also a bloody arrow that penetrated through its body.
Lin Li stroked his chin. None of these collaborators were easy to deal with. Although they had different professions, they were all Legendary powerhouses, after all. How many of them were useless?
The dozen or so giant scorpions were quickly eliminated, and the team continued to walk into the depths of the poisonous fog. As they went deeper, the surrounding poisonous fog became thicker and thicker, and people's vision was reduced again and again.
Although the poisonous fog was getting thicker and thicker, it was still a paradise for some powerful magical beasts even in such an environment. To this team, the giant scorpions were just an appetizer. As they went deeper, the magical beasts that they encountered became more and more difficult to deal with, and they had to put in more effort to continue.
What was worse was that the magical beasts that could survive in the poisonous fog were more or less mutated than their counterparts in the outside world. Their attacks were filled with toxins, and after being nurtured in their bodies, the toxins were much more vicious than the poisonous fog that pervaded the surroundings. Even Legendary powerhouses had to be extremely careful. Any further entanglement would be equivalent to putting themselves in a dangerous situation.
As more and more powerful magical beasts appeared, Lin Li gradually gained a clearer understanding of the strength of the others. Not to mention the elves and the Dark Blade, even Cheyenne who supported the Malfa Family alone was not easy to deal with. How could he not have some abilities after being able to fight against the Dark Blade that had three Legendary powerhouses for so many years?
After walking for almost half a day, the slope of the road finally became less steep. After some calculations, everyone had a rough idea that they were probably close to the bottom of the cliff. However, at this moment, every Legendary powerhouse in the team, including Lin Li who had been idling around, looked much more solemn. It was because they could feel a strong Menace of the Dragon that was far more intense than what they had felt on the cliff.
Wyrms could be considered the top existence among all the magical beasts in Anril now. Although they were much weaker than the ancient wyrms that dominated the continent during the prehistoric times, adult wyrms were at least level-20 and above. However, adult dragons had at least level-20 strength. Coupled with high magic resistance, high defense, and inherited Draconic magic from their bloodline, they were still very powerful to the current humans, elves, and other races.
As the team continued to go deeper, the pressure of the Menace of the Dragon gradually increased, and there were no longer any magical beasts that came out to stop the team. On both sides of the road, there were towering cliffs, and they seemed to have arrived at a wide canyon.
All of a sudden, Elder Randy stopped in his tracks and looked up at the sky. Before the others could look up, a loud and clear roar of a dragon came from the sky, causing everyone's expression to change.
The dragon's roar reverberated in the canyon. Following this roar, the tranquility of the canyon was instantly broken. Chaotic dragon roars without any order resounded one after another. Amidst the roars that contained majestic dragon might, even the air was trembling, and the poisonous mist seemed to be tumbling.
Although everyone knew that encountering wyrms was almost inevitable when they came, they still couldn't help but feel emotional when facing the wyrms. When they really had to face the wyrms, even the Legendary powerhouses couldn't help but feel emotional.
Everyone immediately looked at the sky in front of them, and through the poisonous fog that made their vision a little hazy, a soul-stirring scene was immediately imprinted in their eyes. At the same time, it was also imprinted in the depths of their souls.
One after another, hideous-looking wyrms flew out from the depths of the canyon, each of them carrying a shocking aura. When all the aura was condensed together, it was enough to make the wind and clouds change color, and heaven and earth tremble. The entire huge canyon seemed to be unable to withstand the destructive aura, and it began to tremble slightly.
At this moment, the wide canyon seemed to be a little crowded, and the huge figures blocked the sky of the canyon. They were like sky fortresses that were going to crush everything as they whizzed through the canyon. Wherever they passed, the rocks would collapse, and the roars of the dragons intertwined with each other. It was like an overture to death and destruction.
