First, it was pointed out that the Berkinson Family would encounter a crisis, and then it was pointed out that they would die one by one. Patriarch Berkinson suddenly lost his ability to think rationally, and after being detoxified of the poison, he looked at Lin Yun with a complicated expression.
A poison that could make him die unknowingly only needed a potion from the Gilded Rose's shop to cure it …
Patriarch Berkinson remained silent for a few minutes before raising his head.
"H.e. Mafa Merlin, my son is in the hands of the Poison Python Bandits, I can't disobey their orders."
Lin Yun nodded.
"Give me the coordinates, I'll bring your son back."
Hearing Lin Yun's words, Patriarch Berkinson promptly nodded.
'It's rumored that the true master of the Gilded Rose is a person called Mafa Merlin, but I hadn't expected the rumors to be true. Moreover, his alchemy skills are terrifying. That Health Potion is seven to eight times more powerful than any Health Potion I've ever seen. With his strength and alchemy skills, he definitely wouldn't be afraid of the Poison Python Bandits.
'Moreover, the Rodney Family was planning to rob it, and that notorious Necromancer was almost killed in front of the Gilded Rose's entrance. Even if the Gilded Rose isn't as powerful as the Rodney Family, it isn't too far off.
'With Mafa Merlin's help, I'll rescue my son and let the Family get through this crisis. This is the most important thing, I'll deal with the rest when the time comes …'
"Sir Mafa, these are the coordinates of the Poison Python Bandits' camp …"
Patriarch Berkinson gave Lin Yun the coordinates, and then didn't say anything else. Lin Yun indifferently glanced at Patriarch Berkinson and casually opened a Spatial Door, appearing high up in the sky near the coordinates. This was the easiest way to avoid detection. Even the fluctuations of a Spatial Door might not be able to spread far, because the space at high altitudes was even more unstable.
Patriarch Bai Kinson's face turned pale as he watched Lin Yun effortlessly open the spatial gate and step into it.
Opening a Spatial Door was an instinctive spell of Heaven Rank powerhouses. After advancing to the Heaven Rank, all mages could more or less comprehend some of the Spatial Law. After all, the creation of a Demiplane involved the Spatial Law.
But the vast majority of Heaven Rank powerhouses, at least those below the 5th Rank of the Heaven realm, had very limited use of Spatial Gates.
He could only open the Space Gate once or twice a day at most, and he had to mark the coordinates in advance. There could not be too much interference in the surroundings. In short, the restrictions were very high, and it was not very practical. It could only be used at certain fixed coordinates.
Wanting to rely on coordinates to directly open a Spatial Door near the coordinates and also calculate the exact location, only a 5th Rank Heaven Mage could do that. Moreover, they had to have a good understanding of the Spatial Law.
Or, they had to be a mage specializing in the Spatial Law to be able to do it.
Patriarch Bai Kinson was a bit pale. He hadn't been able to sense how powerful Lin Yun was, but after seeing that Spatial Gate, Patriarch Bai Kinson felt that it would be wiser not to think about it.
On the other side, Lin Yun opened a Spatial Door and appeared five kilometers in the sky. The temperature there was very low and the mana was very chaotic, full of bursts. Fortunately, the mana density here was a lot lower than on the ground and it wouldn't form an elemental storm.
As he comprehended the Spatial Law in the Demiplane, Lin Yun's understanding of the Spatial Law rapidly rose. He even cracked over three hundred truth runes. This wasn't a small improvement, it meant that he was one step closer to the Saint Alchemist realm.
The number of law runes condensed from the Spatial Law also rose to over two hundred. This meant that Lin Yun could now release spatial spells in battle. At least the power of his spells could already influence the battle.
Opening a Spatial Door according to coordinates was already comparable to a spatial mage specializing in the Spatial Law.
Floating in the air, Lin Yun used Eagle Sight to look down. The ground was covered in a thick fog, and there was no sound within the fog. It was as if there were no living lifeforms within. Three kilometers away, he could faintly see the traces of a building as the dense fog fluctuated.
After shielding his mana fluctuations and silhouette, Lin Yun slowly fell into the dense fog below. The dense fog was a bit green and contained a fierce poison. Apart from the dark green trees that were extremely resistant to poison, there were only some magic plants, bloodthirsty vines, carnivorous man-eating flowers, as well as Bone Marrow Flowers attached to a pile of bones.
The forest was very quiet, and only some rustling sounds could be heard. Lin Yun frowned. With his mana, he could sense that the only things moving in this forest were all kinds of poisonous creatures. There were no poisonous insects, snakes, ants, birds, or beasts.
Although many people knew about the Python Bandits' encampment, and it wasn't a very secretive piece of information, the main reason why the Python Bandits had been able to survive for so many years was because their encampment was completely shrouded in a poisonous fog. Furthermore, this poisonous fog wouldn't dissipate.
In the past, the Python Bandits provoked a 1st Family of the Odin Kingdom, and the other side dispatched an army to eliminate the Python Bandits. Among them, a Heaven Rank Hurricane Mage released an Extraordinary Spell and gales whistled through the entire forest. The gales blew away most of the vegetation and lifeforms within the forest, but they still couldn't disperse the poisonous fog.
It wasn't that it didn't disperse, but rather that after the density of the poisonous fog dissipated a bit, it quickly regained its original appearance. At that time, apart from the Archmages and Heaven Rank powerhouses, everyone else was corroded by the poisonous fog. Their skin festered and their flesh torn apart. They didn't even have time to wait for treatment before dying and turning into bones.

They didn't even have time to wait for treatment before they turned into bones.
After sensing the poisonous fog within the space, Lin Yun felt that it was abnormal, because the source of the poisonous fog wasn't in this forest. It wasn't the poisonous plants or the venomous insects, snakes, and ants that caused the poisonous fog to spread. Rather, it was the poisonous fog that caused this place to develop to this state.
But with the passage of time, the number of poisonous plants, insects, snakes, and ants here had reached a very large scale, making the poisonous mist even more complex and toxic. Anyone below the Sword Saint rank would be poisoned to death before they could even reach the encampment of the Poison Python Bandits.
Archmages' strength would start plummeting after entering this place for more than half an hour. Within two hours, their strength would fall by at least 20%. If a Low Rank Archmage stayed here for more than twelve hours, they would be in danger of dying.
But this poisonous fog was only useful against living things, Heaven Rank powerhouses wouldn't be affected.
He casually opened a Planar Path and Xiuban, Reina, and Pabiete walked out of the Demiplane, followed by the puppets. After a dozen minutes, an army of puppets with the weakest at level 35 appeared in the forest.
Following the movement, the forest's venomous insects frantically converged there. Those bloodthirsty plants also swayed their bodies, waiting for the forest's massacre to begin.
After the puppet army appeared, the mage army also came out of the Demiplane. Following the appearance of the fifty mages, the surrounding air involuntarily became scorching hot.
Ever since the volcano appeared in the southernmost part of the Demiplane, the Fire Law started branching out like a sapling and the mage army had been cultivating there.
With Lin Yun's deliberate guidance, the Fire Law lingered in the surroundings of the fifty mages at all times. Even if they couldn't truly comprehend the Fire Law, it was enough for them to lay a very good foundation and their ranks would rapidly increase.
Kurumu was already a 7th Rank Archmage, and the weakest among them was already a 5th Rank Archmage. At this rank, he could start coming in contact with Laws, but what he would come in contact with would only be the manifestation of the Laws.
Starting from the 5th Rank, they had to slowly come into contact with Laws, and once they reached the Peak of the Archmage realm and established a foundation of Laws, they could wait to complete the Extraordinary transformation.
The truth runes and the Fire Law were all open to the mages of the army, and it was inevitable that the mages of the army would advance the fastest. After all, from the 5th Rank of the Archmage realm onwards, the difficulty of advancing wasn't in accumulating mana, but rather in comprehending Laws.
The fifty mages walked out, and it was as if a Heaven Rank Flame Elemental had appeared. The surrounding plants started dehydrating due to the scorching heat, and the insects that rushed over seemed to have sensed the high temperature and gave up on approaching.
"Destroy the entire forest shrouded in fog. Turn everything we encounter in the direction we're heading in to ashes."
Following Lin Yun's order, a thousand sword puppets took the lead. Their sharp blades tore everything in their path to pieces, while the two thousand casting puppets spread out and kept casting spells to destroy everything in their path.
Under Kurumu's lead, the mage army flew into the air and released mana. Flames ignited in the air and rapidly condensed elemental flames. The fifty mages seemed to form a rune, and the mana converged to replace the outline of the rune.
After a few seconds, Kurumu raised his Dragonscale Staff with a solemn expression.
"Burn."
It sounded like an incantation, but not like an incantation at the same time. Instead, it sounded like a mantra. As the two awkward-sounding syllables were chanted, the magic array formed by the mage army shone with a crimson radiance. A crimson halo spread out with the mage army as the center, and everything that the halo touched was ignited. The moist trees and streams in the forest seemed to have been ignited.
The halo spread less than a kilometer away, but the places that were touched by the halo began to burn. The towering flames began to spread in the forest, and the mage army continued to spread to the surroundings, constantly igniting the forest.
Especially the plants torn to shreds by the puppet army, they started burning on their own after being touched by the mage army's aura.
Xiuban raised Carnage and grinned as he looked at the sea of flames around him.
"Sir Merlin, you didn't call me out just to watch Kurumu's group set things on fire, right? If you want to kill someone, I'll go smash their head. My Carnage hasn't tasted blood for a long time."
Lin Yun looked into the distance.
"This is the encampment of the Poison Python Bandits, let's turn this python into a dead snake."
Xiuban grinned and raised Carnage before rushing in the direction Lin Yun was pointing.
Lin Yun took Reina and Pabiete and followed behind. It was an honor for the Poison Python Bandits to make him bring his people over. He originally planned on taking care of the Poison Python Bandits' lair.
After losing their lair, there would be many people looking for trouble, and they wouldn't be sheltered by the Rodney Family. At least on the surface, the Rodney Family definitely wouldn't have any connection with the Poison Python Bandits.
After discovering that the poisonous fog was a bit strange and even vaguely familiar, Lin Yun became a bit interested.
In less than half an hour, the forest within a radius of more than 20 kilometers was completely ignited. This place was completely turned into a sea of fire. The poisonous fog also became slightly lighter because of the diffusing flames, but it was not particularly affected. This showed that the poisonous fog here was special. If it was an ordinary poisonous fog, it would be impossible to continue to exist in this sea of fire.
The sounds of battle could already be heard from the front. The puppet army had already started fighting with the Poison Python Bandits. Unfortunately, the puppet army Lin Yun released this time was only Level 35. After all, the puppet base couldn't produce Level 35 puppets very quickly, and this was already the stock they had accumulated over the past few days.
Level 335 puppets were enough to sweep through all the bandit groups in the Odin Kingdom without the help of a Heaven Rank powerhouse.
"Idiot, don't run! Come, have a taste of Lord Xiuban's sledgehammer!"
Xiuban's roar echoed in the distance. By the time Lin Yun arrived, it was already a one-sided massacre. The Poison Python Bandits only had two Heaven Rank powerhouses, and one of them had half his body smashed when Lin Yun arrived.
The other one was wearing a dark green robe and holding a staff that resembled a viper. All kinds of highly toxic spells and poisons were frantically thrown towards Xiuban. Unfortunately, unless his poison was comparable to the Ancient Poison Dragon's, it would be completely ineffective against Xiuban.
After a dozen seconds, the Poison Python cut a sorry figure as it fled towards the depths of the Poison Python Bandits' camp. Xiuban swung Carnage and chased after it.
Flames were burning, buildings were collapsing, and the attack went as smoothly as Lin Yun had expected. The Venomous Python Bandit Group's camp didn't have any defensive walls. What they relied on as a wall was the poisonous mist that spread over twenty kilometers.
Unfortunately, the Heaven Rank powerhouses that came this time weren't afraid of the poisonous fog. The puppets were simply immune to it. The mage army just stood there, emitting heat that was enough to disperse the poisonous fog around them.
Reina, Xiuban, and Pabiete didn't come out because of the Poison Python Bandits, but rather because of the reason for the appearance of the poisonous fog. The Poison Python was escaping in the direction where the poisonous fog was getting thicker and thicker. All the poisonous fog was coming from that direction.
The puppets dealt with the Poison Python Bandits' camp and got rid of a few hundred vicious bandits, but they still hadn't found the son of Patriarch Berkinson.
After a few minutes, they finally found the person they were looking for in a dungeon. There was only one guard there, and it was only an Expert Swordsman.
Clearly, the Poison Python Bandits didn't think that anyone would attack their lair, and that no one would be able to reach there so quickly.
It was impossible for the 1st force of the Odin Kingdom not to know that the Poison Python Bandits were following the Rodney Family. As long as the Poison Python Bandits didn't provoke them, they wouldn't feel like wasting power to get rid of the Poison Python Bandits. They also wouldn't need to become enemies with the Rodney Family.
They were willing to expend effort to attack the Poison Python Bandits, but they didn't have the power to do so and could only endure the Poison Python Bandits' plunder.
Lin Yun glanced at Berkinson and confirmed that he wasn't poisoned or mortally injured. He then ignored him and left Pabiete and the mage army to deal with the aftermath while Lin Yun took Reina to chase after Xiuban.
After walking for a dozen minutes, they saw Xiuban angrily smashing things in a small valley, but the Poison Python had disappeared.
After entering the small valley, Lin Yun keenly discovered that the density of the poisonmist was the densest there, and it wasn't affected by the flames. The poisonmist was continuously spreading, but the density wasn't affected in the slightest.
Seeing that Lin Yun had arrived, Xiuban smiled.
"Sir Merlin, that green-skinned guy disappeared. I chased after him, but I didn't see him for a few seconds before he suddenly disappeared …"
A rune appeared in Lin Yun's eyes as he looked around. He then walked to the end of the valley and spat out a dozen law runes.
In an instant, a wisp of spatial fluctuation appeared and a Planar Path appeared in front of everyone.
Following the appearance of that Planar Path, a dense poisonmist rushed out along the Planar Path, and it was even mixed with a dense aura of death.
Lin Yun frowned and spat out three runes that fell onto the Planar Path before leading his group into the Planar Path.
When they reappeared, they were in a desolate world. There were only some black-red plants that looked like weeds. The plane wasn't big, only twenty kilometers wide, and the sky was dusky. This was a small plane that still didn't have a day or night. The Laws weren't perfect, and there was no possibility of further improvement.
Just as Lin Yun entered, mana fluctuations could be felt above his head. Dark green poisonflames fell from the sky as the Poison Python waved its staff with a distorted expression. As the Poison Python crushed a potion bottle, the dense poisonmist of that small plane started converging.
