Lin Yun didn't want to bicker with Sauss, he only shook his head and said, "Let's wait."
"Ah, wait …" Sovann didn't understand at first, but before he could finish his sentence, Sovann understood everything.
Because just as Sauss was speaking, a cloud of dust rose up from below the red cloud …
"My god …" Sauss immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. This cloud of dust covered the sky and covered the earth. Compared to the twenty or so Thunder Elephants from before, it was ten times more imposing!
"How … How many magic beasts are there?"
"There should be a few hundred magic beasts …"
"I'll go organize some people." Sasu's expression also sank. As the leader of the Silver Moon Mercenary Group, Sasu could be said to be a veteran of hundreds of battles. With just one look, he knew that if they wanted to eliminate a beast tide of this scale, the main forces of the nine forces would have to be deployed.
"Wait, Leader Sauss …" Lin Yun lowered his head and thought for a moment before calling out to Sauss, "I feel that the camp should focus on defense and try not to clash with these magic beasts."
"No, if we do that, there will be more and more magic beasts …" Sauss subconsciously shook his head, but after shaking his head, he seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Merlin, did you find anything?"
"I didn't find anything, I just feel that the Four Seasons Canyon doesn't welcome us …" Lin Yun said while carefully sensing the changes in the surrounding mana. As more and more magic beasts appeared, Lin Yun could clearly feel that the Four Seasons Canyon was filled with a strange power.
"The Four Seasons Canyon doesn't welcome us? What does that mean?"
"It's hard to say what the exact situation is. How about this, Commander Sasu? We won't be able to help much here. Why don't you come with me to take a look? Let's see if we can find the reason for the Demonic Beasts' rampage."
"Alright." This time, Sasu didn't ask anything and only nodded in agreement because he knew that this young Great Mage wouldn't do anything he wasn't sure of. Since he said that he would bring people to take a look, even if he didn't know the reason for the magic beasts' rampage, he would definitely have some clues.
"Great Wizard Merlin, I'll go with you!" Sovann hurriedly volunteered.
"Leader Sauss, you have operated in the Poison Fog Canyon for so many years, you must have a lot of experience in defense. You should stay here and help Leader Sasu. High Mage Solomon, Leader Badrack, how about you two come with me to take a look?" Sauss' personal strength was still a bit lacking, so Lin Yun directly called Solomon and Badrack. One was a 9th Rank High Mage, and the other was a 9th Rank Divine Archer. With him, they would be able to advance and retreat freely under the siege of the beast tide.
"Alright."
"No problem."
Once the two agreed, Lin Yun called Xiuban, and the group of four left the camp and followed a river through the Four Seasons Canyon to circle around the beast tide.
"Merlin, have you already discovered something?" Saruman was not so polite to Lin Yun. After leaving the camp, he directly asked.
"I have discovered something …" Lin Yun thought for a bit before continuing, "Have you discovered that the mana in the Four Seasons Canyon is a bit too abundant?"
"Yes, I do feel that way, but is there a problem with the abundance of mana?"
"I'm talking about the abundance of mana. Normal abundance of mana isn't like this. Don't you feel that the mana in the Four Seasons Canyon is already so abundant that even if you don't meditate, it would still rush towards you. It's already a bit forceful …"
"What's wrong with that?" Saruman still didn't understand.
"…" Lin Yun was so angry that he rolled his eyes.
It wasn't as if Lin Yun had never been to a place with abundant mana. With the help of the Black Death Rune, the camp in the Bone Plane had condensed boundless Soul Fires and transformed the mana in the camp into a liquid state. But when Lin Yun entered the camp, he only felt that every breath was filled with mana. It definitely wasn't like now, where the mana was rushing towards him and couldn't be stopped.
"Also, did you notice that the Shadow Wolf just now …"
"What about the Shadow Wolf?"
"That Shadow Wolf's eyes weren't a normal color at all. They were so red that they looked like they were about to bleed. It was obvious that it had fallen into some sort of crazy state. Moreover, did you notice that the Shadow Wolf's life aura was extremely powerful? Even after death, it was far more powerful than a normal Shadow Wolf …"
"I still don't understand …"
"Alright, I'll just say it. I suspect that the Four Seasons Canyon is being affected by a mysterious power. This power is controlling everything in the Four Seasons Canyon: mana, Shadow Wolves, and the beast tide …"
"I understand. You wanted to take a look because you want to find the source of this power?"
"That's right. If we don't find the source of this power, the beast tide won't stop. There might be over twenty Thunder Elephants, a few thousand Flame Crows, and a few hundred other magic beasts. If we go all out, it might not be impossible to annihilate them, but what happens after that? "What if there is an even larger beast tide? For example, if the Thunder Elephants turn into two white heads, or the Flame Crows turn into several tens of thousands … In any case, if we can't find the source of this power, we should hurry up and return to Thousand Sails City …"
"Then do you know where the source is …?"
"If I'm not wrong, it should be behind the beast tide."
"Guess?" Solomon was somewhat worried.
"Of course it's a guess …"
"Then why don't you guess somewhere else?"
"High Mage Solomon, do you know how to ride a horse?"
"Nonsense!"
Lin Yun looked at Solomon with a strange expression. "Then where do you whip when riding a horse?"
"Of course …" Solomon subconsciously answered, but he suddenly stopped and looked at Lin Yun for a long time before a look of realization appeared on his face. "You are saying that power … That power is driving these magic beasts away?"
"I didn't say that, I'm just guessing …"
"…"
The group of four cautiously bypassed the main force of the beast tide, thinking of slowly sneaking in from the rear. As they brushed past the beast tide, even Lin Yun felt cold sweat trickling down his forehead. This was too frightening. Above them was an overwhelming number of Flame Crows, and the temperature they were emitting made the entire sky feel like it was burning. The ground under their feet was already soft from being roasted, and several hundred different kinds of magic beasts were converging together, like a surging river flowing towards the camp.
"I wonder if Sasu can hold on …" At this moment, even Saruman was a little worried.
"It shouldn't be a problem for now, but …"
Lin Yun shook his head and didn't continue, but whether it was Solomon or Badrack, they both knew what the young Great Mage meant. If there were more magic beasts after this wave, the major forces of Thousand Sails City wouldn't be able to contend against them.
While they were talking, the four of them had already entered a forest. Saruman promptly reminded them, "Everyone, be careful. The plants here are very …"
"Help!" But before Solomon could finish his sentence, a cry of alarm came from behind them. The three of them turned around in alarm and saw a thick vine tightly coiling around the Draconic Beastman and pulling him towards the depths of the forest.
Lin Yun didn't even think about it before shooting two Wind Blades. Only two soft sounds could be heard as the two Wind Blades collided in the air. The arm-thick vines immediately snapped, and Xiuban, who had been dancing in joy, fell to the ground with a plop.
"Fuck, where the hell did that damned vine come from …" The Draconic Beastman got up from the ground in a sorry state, wiping the cold sweat off his forehead while cursing.
"Shut up, be careful …"
Unfortunately, just as Lin Yun said "be careful", a rustling sound echoed in the surroundings. Then, a few shadows fiercely scuttled out, looking like a few pythons drilling out of the underbrush. In an instant, they had already coiled around the Draconic Beastman.
"Help, Sir, help, Sir …" This time, there were no less than four vines, each one as thick as a thigh. When they coiled around Xiuban's body, their sharp thorns instantly pierced his body. Blood could be seen flowing down the thorns, and Xiuban's dark red face distorted from the pain.
"I told you to be careful!" Lin Yun cursed in exasperation. At the same time, he cast a Haste spell and shot forward like an arrow, chasing after the four rapidly retreating vines. At the same time, he kept chanting, casting Slow, Wither, Weaken, and a few other debuffs in succession.
"Merlin, be careful, that's a Thousand Eyed Devil Vine!" Solomon hurriedly warned. At the same time, he didn't stop casting spells. Two Ice Walls blocked the Thousand-Eyed Demonvine's path of retreat.
However, the Ice Wall was still too weak for the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Vine. Almost at the same time that Saruman released the Ice Wall, a vine as thick as a thigh drilled out from the bushes. With a 'bang', two thick Ice Walls were already broken through. Following that, the vine fiercely stirred, and the two seemingly indestructible Ice Walls immediately shattered with a 'huala' sound …
At the same time, the four vines grabbing onto the Draconic Beastman shrunk and instantly disappeared into the forest.
