Stepping into the Sierra Leone Forest, everything around them was so harmonious and natural, but everyone's face revealed an extremely cautious expression. Elder Randy carefully protected Princess Elune by his side. If there was another powerful arrow like the one before, he would not hesitate to block it with his own body.
The arrow that killed Lansdale was like a guillotine hanging above everyone's head, and no one knew when it would fall. Although they had not encountered such an attack ever since that arrow was shot, it was precisely because of that that made them feel even more conflicted and tormented.
In the forest, squirrels would occasionally scurry up the branches while hugging a nut and staring blankly at the people passing by. Its little brain couldn't figure out why this paradise would make these people so nervous. The birds were still singing on the branches, and the cries of young birds could be heard from some nests. If it weren't for the fact that they were in the Seven-Realm Spiral and that they didn't know that they were in the Sierra Leone Forest, everything would be so intoxicating.
However, this was not a place for invaders to vacation, after all. Soon after Lin Li and the others entered the forest, the tranquil and harmonious natural scenery was finally disrupted by a sudden change.
Strong magical waves suddenly erupted around them, followed by countless magical attacks that poured towards them from all directions. The dense Wind Blades instantly cut the thick trees into sawdust, and bolts of lightning fell from the sky like a torrential rain, blasting a deep pit in the ground.
However, the sudden attack did not make them panic, and instead made them secretly heave a sigh of relief. The second arrow did not appear, but the dense magical attacks did. No matter what the reason was, there was nothing to be afraid of as long as it wasn't the arrow that killed Lansdale.
Due to the fact that everyone had been tense ever since they entered the forest, they immediately reacted the moment they were attacked, especially Cheyenne, who immediately cast a high-level defensive spell to protect himself. Not only did he protect himself, but he also covered Lin Li and the others from the Tower of Dusk with a high-level defensive spell.
Before the treasure hunt in the Haiga Mountain Range, the relationship between the Malfa Family and the Tower of Dusk was more like a business partner than an alliance. Cheyenne personally went to the Tower of Dusk and invited Lin Li to participate in the treasure hunt because he wanted to increase the chances of success. In fact, it could even be said that he was looking for high-level cannon fodder. Although the Malfa Family seemed to respect Lin Li on the surface, they basically treated him as an insignificant person.
However, Lin Li did not let Cheyenne get what he wanted. He only brought a Vampire, Norfeller. After that, the appearance of the Dark Blade made Cheyenne unable to be calculative with Lin Li. Instead, he even tried his best to rope Lin Li in. That was the only way for Cheyenne, who had left Aminya City, to be qualified to negotiate with the Dark Blade.
It was impossible for Cheyenne not to be disgusted by Lin Li's behavior along the way. If it weren't for the existence of the Dark Blade, he would have at least given Lin Li a warning even if he didn't fall out with him. Later on, when the elves joined in, Cheyenne couldn't let go of the alliance with the Tower of Dusk. From the beginning to the end, Cheyenne had always been a little forced by the situation when it came to this alliance.
However, Lin Li's ability to destroy the Soul-devouring Domain with a single blow just now made Cheyenne's heart change greatly. Cheyenne knew very well that he couldn't let go of this inconspicuous ally no matter what. He was glad that the Malfa Family had established a relationship with the Tower of Dusk long ago, and that he didn't show any disrespect along the way. He was also even more determined to hold onto this ally tightly.
Given Cheyenne's seniority, status, and age, he naturally couldn't be too humble. Besides, that wouldn't be in the interests of the Malfa Family, either. The so-called alliance was a cooperation where both parties were of equal status. Cheyenne wasn't being reserved, but if he were to be too humble, he wouldn't be an ally anymore. He would be a subordinate.
Hence, regardless of whether Lin Li really needed it or not, Cheyenne was just expressing his goodwill through his actions, just like how he had done with Borg and Baldela previously.
Lin Li was naturally well aware of Cheyenne's intentions. After all, the Malfa Family had been operating in the Breezy Plains for many years. Although the Tower of Dusk was developing rapidly due to Lin Li's efforts, there would only be benefits to having an ally like the Malfa Family. Hence, he smiled and immediately stopped the magic spell that he was about to cast, and accepted Cheyenne's goodwill.
However, after seeing Lin Li's reaction, Cheyenne didn't even have the time to rejoice, because the enemies that were attacking them had already revealed themselves from the surrounding forest. When he saw the appearance of the enemies, the joy in Cheyenne's heart was immediately washed away by shock.
At this moment, when they saw the true appearance of the enemy, they finally understood why there were only wind and lightning magic among the overwhelming magic attacks, and not the other elements. It was because the enemies were the extremely rare Elemental lifeforms, Wind Elementals.
Elemental lifeforms were not magical beasts, but were made up of pure magical elements. As for why they had consciousness, no one could really explain it. They could only attribute it to the wonders of creation. In fact, after many Legendary-mages created their own Magical Domains, most of them would have a method of attack, which was to condense elemental lifeforms. For example, the snow magical beasts that Lin Li had created were the Angels of Light and Dark.
However, these elemental lifeforms that were created through Magical Domains did not have their own consciousness, and could not be considered life. Like puppets, they had to listen to the commands of their creators. They were merely tools and weapons. However, the elemental lifeforms in nature had their own instincts and consciousness like magical beasts. Although they were extremely rare, they were also one of the many lifeforms in this world.
Those Wind Elemental lifeforms were the spirits of the wind. They looked like clouds of smoke that vaguely condensed into a human-like form, but their lower bodies were constantly spiraling tornadoes. However, the ethereal bodies of the Wind Elementals should not be underestimated, because they were made up of the purest wind magical elements. The highly condensed wind magical elements caused the bodies of the Wind Elementals to be surrounded by countless snakes of lightning.
The ability of the Wind Elementals to control magic could no longer be described as a talent. To them, the wind element was a part of their bodies, and using wind and lightning magic was like holding things with their own hands. It was completely an instinct. The level of strength they possessed determined the level of their ability to control magic. They did not need any incantations or any assistance. They could do it with just an instinctive thought.
Countless spells of the wind and lightning elements exploded on everyone's magic defenses, stirring up ripples. All of the magic was not lower than level-18, which showed that the abilities of this group of Wind Elementals were all above level-18. If it had been a group of level-18 Archmages, they would not have been worth mentioning to Lin Li's team. This was because even a level-18 Archmage might not be able to use level-18 magic, and even if they could use it, they might not be able to release it so quickly and continuously.
However, the casting of magic was not difficult at all for the Wind Elementals. It was even easier than using level-1 magic for an Archmage. In the face of the endless level-18 wind and lightning magic, even Legendary powerhouses had to be cautious. No one dared to expose their bodies to the sea of magic.
The speed of the Wind Elementals was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had already arrived in front of everyone and surrounded them. At the same time, the powerful magic did not stop at all, and bombarded the magical defense field that seemed to be on the verge of collapsing. Their speed was also a reason that no one dared to belittle them. Magic targeting basically did not have much effect on them, and it was not easy to hit them with magic.
Among the various types of magic, wind and lightning magic were the fastest in terms of attack speed. However, the Wind Elementals that everyone was facing now were basically immune to the damage of wind and lightning magic. In order to attack the Wind Elementals, they could only use large-scale offensive magic other than wind and lightning magic.
Looking at the dozens of Wind Elementals that were surging towards them, Elder Randy could not help but frown. Although he was the most powerful among them, the Wind Elementals had a high immunity to physical attacks while being immune to wind and lightning magic. Perhaps they were not much different from the Vengeful Spirits.
On the elves' side, apart from Elder Randy, Elune and Gildor mainly used physical attacks. The only one who could cause effective damage to the Wind Elementals was the fire mage Culofen. In this case, Elder Randy had no choice but to ask for Lin Li's opinion again. He no longer had the condescending attitude that he used to have. Instead, he completely treated Lin Li as an equal.
In this situation, Elder Randy was well aware that they could no longer go their separate ways like before. Be it in the face of the Wind Elementals or the unknown dangers behind, working together was the only way out at the moment. If it were the Dark Blade, Elder Randy might just show his respect and make the decision to assign tasks to everyone. However, the respect that Elder Randy showed towards Lin Li was not fake at all.
Lin Li did not stand on ceremony, and simply stated his plan based on the characteristics of the Wind Elementals and the strength of his team. If Elder Randy's attitude had been seen by others, such as the Dark Blade or Cheyenne, they might have felt a little flattered. However, Lin Li knew very well that he had earned the respect with his own strength. Hence, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
Elder Randy and Cheyenne each added some ideas to Lin Li's proposal, mainly about the strength of their team that was not known to others. Everyone knew that at this juncture, no one should think about holding anything back. The best thing to do was to take out everything they had.
After all, they were a team of Legendary powerhouses. Even a group of Wind Elementals that were above level-18 could only cause limited trouble to them. Most importantly, it was to prepare for the future. This time, it should be considered a cooperation exercise in the truest sense.
Outside the magical defense field, a group of Wind Elementals bombarded them with powerful magic spells tirelessly. Although they all had their own consciousness, they were not much better than ordinary magical beasts. When faced with invaders, the only thing they knew was to use all their strength to destroy all the invaders. As for strategies and the like, it was still too advanced for them. It was not something they could come up with with their current intelligence.
In this battlefield, all the trees had been swept away by various magic spells. In fact, they could even be considered to have been twisted into pieces, and there were flames everywhere after the lightning struck. In just the blink of an eye, the harmonious and natural scenery had disappeared without a trace.
Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and bolts of lightning that were as thick as an arm struck the magic defense of everyone. On the ground, the huge Wind Blades plowed deep ravines on the ground and blasted at them from all directions.
Cheyenne abruptly retracted the magical defense that he had been supporting, and the Legendary powerhouses began their counterattack. However, this time, they were no longer acting independently like before. The Legendary powerhouses of the team had completely united as one, and everyone had their own role to play. All they had to do was complete their own tasks. Although Elder Randy was the most powerful and had an extremely high status among the elves, he still played his own role strictly according to the assignment.
Although the cooperation of the Legendary powerhouses was not as seamless as that of the Double Death Dragons, they were not fools since they could become Legendary powerhouses. Hence, they seemed to have practiced it for many years.
The Wind Elementals only knew that the detestable shield was gone, and they immediately surged towards the exposed people, blasting all kinds of powerful magic spells at them. Just like the Elemental Wyrm, the Wind Elemental Wyrms were condensed from elements, and thus did not have to worry about the lack of mana at all. They would use their most powerful means to deal with their enemies, and if they could not be smashed to death, they would continue to do so.
However, Legendary powerhouses were not that easy to knock down, let alone a group of Legendary powerhouses who worked together and cooperated with each other.
Although the Thousand Miles of Ice could not really freeze the Wind Elementals in their current form, the slowing effect still caused their movement speed to plummet. Although the Thousand Miles of Ice could not really freeze the Wind Elementals in their current form, the slowing effect still caused their movement speed to plummet. Without speed, the Wind Elementals were like mosquitoes without wings that could not be slapped at will.
