"Of course it's real." Salin glanced at Zola. Although this Black Iron Sword Saint had the lethality of a Silver Sword Saint, if he wanted to advance to a Gold Sword Saint, he still had to take it one step at a time. There was no shortcut.
The difficulty of advancing to the Gold Sword Saint realm was far greater than advancing to the 9th Rank of the High Mage realm. The number of people studying swordsmanship was a hundred times, a thousand times more, but there were still more 9th Rank High Mages than Gold Sword Saints.
By the time you become a Gold Sword Saint, I would have already become a 9th Rank High Mage. Salin thought to himself, At that time, even if I gave you the Sword Spirit, it wouldn't pose any threat to me. Moreover, after such a long time, Zola probably no longer had any thoughts of leaving.
Zola stood behind Salin happily, full of hope for the future. He knew very well how Salin treated his subordinates. Apart from training, this young mage spent the rest of his time forging weapons for his subordinates, seeking benefits for them. Although most orthodox mages would do this, Salin was too enthusiastic. Zola, who was used to seeing indifferent mages in the palace, was deeply affected. Unknowingly, he had already acknowledged Salin as a young mage, as well as his identity as a follower.
"Aini, do me a favor." Salin slowly walked forward. This island was very big. Although his perception could already extend to a distance of one kilometer, he felt powerless to search this island.
Ainphent sighed inwardly. He didn't have a backer like Salin, so it was too difficult to recruit a strong follower. He also coveted a martial artist like Zola, but he couldn't bring himself to poach from Salin. Salin was a rare friend of his. They had gotten to know each other when they were poor, and it was even more precious for them to continue this fragile friendship.
Necromancers were stronger than Elemental Mages in terms of perception. Ainphent also had two powerful undead creatures, so he was the only one who could search the island for Salin.
Ainphent asked the undead that he hadn't recalled to fly into the air to scout ahead. The five of them walked across the beach and found a piece of flat land to sit down and rest.
It didn't take long for the flesh and blood undead to give Ainphent the general situation of the island. Ainphent drew a map on the sand.
"This island is eleven li long and six li wide. It's high in the south and low in the north. He had yet to discover the nest of the demonic beasts, so it could be considered safe. Huh? "Ainphent suddenly let out a surprised sound.
"What happened?"
Ainphent's face reddened. "I've discovered a magical beast."
"How many?"
"About twenty of them." Ainphent replied. This was why he was blushing. More than twenty magical beasts were not a small target. Just now, he had said that there was no magical beast nest here.
"Get ready to fight, or run," Salin said, and everyone laughed. What Salin said was very interesting, but also very true. These twenty-odd magical beasts had not been discovered by the flesh and blood undead at first, so they must have been adept at hiding. Generally speaking, Magical Beasts that were good at concealment liked to launch sneak attacks and were not necessarily very powerful. However, this place was extremely close to the Frozen Sea. Those who were not strong enough would find it very difficult to survive here.
Shika took out her weapon from the Ring of Blessing, a huge club. Neris had already seen the Blessing Ring on Sicar's finger. Her heart was sour, but she still pulled out her dagger and stood in front of Sarlin with Sicar.
The wind on the island was not strong and it was very cold. Zola took a few steps and passed Schika and Neris. Ainphent, on the other hand, summoned his Undead Plant.
This Undead Plant was now glowing faintly. It was more than fifteen meters tall, and seemed to have evolved. The leaves on the crown of the tree were also much denser. The drooping branches twisted naturally, covering Salin and the others. The hanging branches formed an undead zone. Apart from the people Ainphent wanted to protect, other creatures would not be able to enter or leave.
Life Deprivation was not a very strong Necromancy spell, but the continuous damage was very long. Within the area controlled by this Undead Plant, enemies would be continuously injured.
"Salin, don't attack first. Let me try." Ainphent said cautiously. He knew that his fighting strength was definitely not as good as Salin and the others, but it was safer this way. Everyone had a way to escape anyway. If he failed, Salin's elemental magic would effectively stop the magical beasts from chasing. At the same time, he wanted to see how much his Necromancy had improved.
"Alright, be careful." Salin knew that he had lost more than half of his Magic String, and his fighting strength was really not as good as Ainphent's. It was best to let the necromancers take the lead.
The Flesh and Blood Undead had already landed on the ground. Under Ainphent's control, it teased the twenty magical beasts and ran towards the beach.
Loud footsteps echoed, and the ground began to tremble.
"Damn, it's a big guy!" Ainphent immediately changed his battle plan. He started chanting incantations, his hands constantly changing magic gestures. In just half a minute, he had summoned more than forty Bone Demons in front of the five of them.
Bone Demons were much more advanced than Skeleton Soldiers. They looked like giant gorillas, with fangs that were more than a foot long. They were even bigger and more ferocious than a bear.
Salin also forgot about his plan to watch from the side. He took out his silver magic book, ready to attack at any time. Now that he was richer, he was actually more stingy than before. He rarely used things like scrolls, but the silver magic book could be used repeatedly and could increase a mage's endurance in battle.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground shook. The Flesh and Blood Undead Creature was followed by more than twenty giant lizards, charging towards the beach. Salin and Ainphent relaxed when they saw these magical beasts that were more than four meters long. They recognized these creatures.
Giant Crag Dragon, a level-five magical beast. Although rare, its combat power was not strong. This creature could turn into rock and had a talent spell, Petrification. Against creatures below level-four, the Crag Dragon had enough lethality. Against creatures of the same level, the Crag Dragon preferred to win by numbers. Against creatures above level-five, the Crag Dragon used its ability to transform and hide.
In the simplest way, this kind of magical beast with dragon blood was said to bully the weak and fear the strong.
Salin and Ainphent looked at each other. These two young mages were very knowledgeable, and they saw joy in each other's eyes at the same time.
The Crag Dragon's defense was extraordinary, but it did not have much magic resistance. That was not why they were happy. The Crag Dragon liked to devour sand and stones to absorb the weak metal elements inside. However, to have a large number of Crag Dragons, there had to be a metal vein.
This island was probably a natural open-air mine. Although a mine of a few dozen square miles was a little small, if it was open-air, it would be worth mining no matter how far away the Inner Continent was. The Crag Dragons did not like to dig holes. The reason they gathered was because they could eat open-air metal.
This island should be a mountain range rising from the bottom of the sea. Apart from the land, the underwater area was relatively flat, and the area that could be mined was even larger. Mining underwater required the use of magic puppets, and the price was not small. However, if it was a precious metal, it was still worth mining.
Under Ainphent's control, the Bone Demon in front of everyone charged at the Crag Dragon. The Crag Dragon's tiny eyes were grey and a little bloodshot, looking fierce and terrifying. Unlike lizards, they did not drool disgustingly, but their teeth were just as sharp and faster.
In an instant, sand and dust rose on the beach. The Bone Demon and the Crag Dragon fought, making earth-shattering noises.
The number of Bone Demons was double that of the Crag Dragon, and their size was about the same. However, in the blink of an eye, more than ten Bone Demons were torn apart by the Crag Dragon. The Crag Dragon did not lose a single one, and aggressively pounced at Salin and the others. However, the Crag Dragons that rushed through the Bone Demon's line of defense were obviously slowed down. The Bone Demon's claws carried three types of undead poison, which could cause the effects of slowing, weakening, and confusion.
There were two Giant Rock Dragons whose resistance was too weak. They suddenly changed their direction and rushed towards the east. They bumped into a huge boulder and smashed the boulder into smithereens. They also completely fainted.
"This! It's even more powerful than a siege chariot! " Zola had seen powerful military equipment. That Crag Dragon could actually smash rocks. If it were to ram into a city gate, wouldn't it be broken in one hit?
"It's useless." Salin put away the silver magic book and said to Zola, "Third-level Magicians can defeat them. Precious metals are needed to feed these guys, or else their shells will degenerate.
"Does this thing really eat rocks?" Zola believed Salin's words when he saw that Ainphent's casual magic had knocked down more than ten Crag Dragons. However, Zola was still on his guard. If this thing got close, it could also cause great damage to a Magician. Although his sword aura was strange, he could only deal with one at a time.
"Of course not. Crag Dragons can fish, hunt seabirds, and occasionally prey on larger prey. They eat ores to maintain the strength of their shells. Ainphent, leave one for Silva to try. "
Salin was completely relieved at this time. Crag Dragons were nightmares for Swordsmen, but they were too weak for Magicians. Ainphent's Undead Impact killed more than half of the Crag Dragons. The remaining five were already thinking about escaping, but the damage caused by the Bone Devil was reflected at this time. Every Crag Dragon's limbs were trembling, and they almost couldn't stand.
"Okay." Ainphent released another four gray rays, leaving only one Crag Dragon.
Silva carried her weapon and walked out of the undead plant's protection range, walking towards the last Crag Dragon. That four-meter-long magical beast was just a slightly bigger sandbag in her eyes.
When the last Giant Crag Dragon saw Shika approaching, it opened its bloody mouth wide and let out hissing sounds, intimidating this seemingly thin and small human.
