"It's fine, someone just happened to be going the same way …" Lin Yun shook his head with a smile, indicating to William that Merlin could rest assured. In fact, Lin Yun had already heard these sounds before William and Merlin arrived. Don't look at how Lin Yun had been idling around after arriving at the Aurij Mountains. In fact, Lin Yun had already roused his Magic Array to its limits, and any subtle mana fluctuations within several kilometers couldn't escape Lin Yun's notice.
For example, Lin Yun could clearly feel that there were over ten mages casting spells less than a kilometer away. Although most of them were Great Mages, and the most powerful among them were only three High Mages. Their strength couldn't be considered outstanding, but ten of them casting spells at the same time was quite frightening.
Moreover, these mages had definitely gone through strict training, and their coordination was very good. It looked like a dozen of them were casting spells at the same time, but the mana fluctuations they emitted were uniform and not the slightest bit chaotic. This wasn't something an ordinary team of mages could achieve. They had to have practiced for a long time to achieve this result.
And their enemies were a group of Frost Wolves.
Mournful wolf howls and cold aura … Even from a kilometer away, Lin Yun could see countless Frost Wolves rushing over from all directions, like an avalanche.
This was undoubtedly a mercenary group hunting in the Aurij Mountains.
Moreover, it was a very powerful mercenary group.
A group of a dozen mages had three High Mages overseeing it. This kind of ratio couldn't be achieved by an ordinary mercenary group. Just look at the Silver Moon Mercenaries. The entire Silver Moon Mercenary Group had over a thousand members, but they only had three Expert Swordsmen and two High Mages. Lin Yun estimated that the mercenary group fighting the Frost Wolves would be ranked in the top five in Okland.
Only, the enemies they encountered this time were somewhat difficult to deal with. There were hundreds or even thousands of Frost Wolves. Even if each Frost Wolf's level wasn't very high, when their numbers reached a certain level and they swarmed from all directions, any team would shrink back in fear.
"Xiuban, pick up the pace, pick up the pace!" Lin Yun looked at the sky and urged Xiuban to pick up speed once again.
As for the battle several hundred meters away, Lin Yun simply didn't have time to care. The Frost Wolves weren't sieging him, so why would he care about them? In the Aurij Mountains, this kind of battle happened several dozen times a day. How could he live if he had to care about every single one?
"Roar!" After Xiuban's roar, the several-thousand-kilogram Carnage heavily smashed into the head of a Frost Armored Rhinoceros. In a flash, fine cracks could be seen on the thick Frost Armored Rhinoceros' armor, and with a light cracking sound, these cracks became bigger and deeper. In the end, that level 26 Frost Armored Rhinoceros let out a mournful scream before being torn apart.
"Phew …" After confirming that the last Frost Armored Rhinoceros had died, Xiuban let out a long sigh of relief. This was the fiercest battle Xiuban had encountered since entering the Aurij Mountains. Seven Frost Armored Rhinoceros, the weakest was level 23, while the strongest was level 26. When they charged together, they were even more frightening than a group of Thunder Beasts.
Moreover …
During the entire battle, that damned Mafa Merlin had been standing on the side with his hands behind his back. Not only was he not helping, but he was also constantly buzzing like a fly, scolding him for making mistakes, mocking him for his weak attacks, and urging him to settle things quickly.
'Damnit, what kind of sin did I commit to sign a Soul Contract with this kind of person …'
"Cousin William, help me deal with the corpses of these Frost Armored Rhinoceros." But, just as the Draconic Beastman was full of complaints, Lin Yun's eyes suddenly shone. After hurriedly giving instructions to William and Merlin, he pointed at the Draconic Beastman and said, "Xiuban, follow me!"
"Ah?" The pitiful Draconic Beastman had barely caught his breath, and his sweat hadn't even dried when he was called again. "Why me again!"
"Because you are unlucky …" After saying that, Lin Yun didn't explain and directly cast two Haste spells, one for himself and one for Xiuban, before rushing through the jungle like a gust of wind.
"The most unfortunate thing in my life was signing that damned Soul Contract …" The Draconic Beastman cursed, but he didn't dare to delay. He followed behind Lin Yun and rushed towards the battlefield where the sound had come from.
Now that Lin Yun was a High Mage, his ten Magic Arrays were fused into one, and the effect of Haste from his hands was more than ten times stronger than before. The two of them were as fast as lightning, and it only took a moment for them to reach the battlefield.
Sure enough, this battlefield was just as Lin Yun had guessed. A mercenary group of over a hundred people was fighting against Frost Wolves as far as the eye could see.
The strength of this mercenary group definitely wasn't ordinary. The low-end force was made up of ten Great Mages, sixty to seventy Great Swordsmen, and twenty Spirit Archers. As for the high-end force, it was made up of three 5th and 6th Rank High Mages, one 5th Rank Expert Swordsman, and one 5th Rank Divine Archer. This kind of lineup could be considered luxurious, but this wasn't all. What truly startled Lin Yun was the Great Swordsman leading this mercenary group. That was a true Sword Saint!
Although he was only a 1st Rank Sword Saint, and his strength wasn't just a bit inferior to Thorne and Merlin, wasn't a 1st Rank Sword Saint still a Sword Saint?
In all of Okland, the number of mercenary groups with Sword Saints could be counted on one hand.
But, such a top-notch mercenary group in Okland had fallen into a predicament.
Nothing could be done about it, as their enemies were too powerful.
Lin Yun looked from a distance and knew that he had underestimated the power of this pack of Frost Wolves. This pack of Frost Wolves had already reached several thousand, and they covered the entire mountain as far as the eye could see. Wherever he looked, he could see countless Frost Wolves running and howling. That vast expanse of white was like a terrifying avalanche.
And the most frightening part was …
This pack of Frost Wolves clearly had a Wolf King.
Anyone with the slightest understanding of wolf-type magical beasts would know that once a wolf-type magical beast produced a Wolf King, it would definitely be extraordinarily powerful. Take a Frost Wolf for example. An ordinary Frost Wolf's fighting strength was around Level 15, but a Frost Wolf King could reach a terrifying Level 30!
Level 30, that was the realm of Sword Saints and Archmages.
At this realm, even a low level magic beast like the Frost Wolves would naturally possess extremely high intelligence. Under its leadership, the fighting strength of the Frost Wolf pack would increase exponentially.
It could be seen from this battle.
The Frost Wolves, who had the absolute advantage in numbers, were fighting in a way that didn't resemble magic beasts at all. They were like a well-trained army that weaved back and forth, flanking, surrounding, and dividing the battlefield. The entire battle was tilting towards the Frost Wolves at an extremely fast speed.
"Sir, where should we attack from?" The Draconic Beastman held Carnage in his hand, eager to give it a try.
"Crouch!" Lin Yun unhappily scolded from the underbrush, "Who told you we were going to attack?"
"Ah?" The Draconic Beastman suddenly froze. "Sir, you rushed over in such a hurry, don't tell me you didn't want to save those humans?"
"…" Lin Yun angrily rolled his eyes. "Save what? Do you know them or do I know them? Moreover, can't you see that the Sword Saint hasn't made a move yet? He is waiting for the Wolf King to appear. As long as he kills the Wolf King, this battle will immediately end and we won't need to meddle … "
"Eh …" The Draconic Beastman nodded with a blank expression. "Then why did you rush over with me?"
"Looking for something …" Lin Yun said in a low voice while secretly releasing a few Mage Eyes.
At this moment, be it the mercenary group or the Frost Wolf pack, they were all engaged in a life and death struggle, so no one noticed that a few Warlock's Eyes had snuck into the battlefield. They stuck close to the bushes at the edge of the battlefield and began to search quickly and carefully.
"Eh, looking for something …"
"Just stay there, you wouldn't understand even if I told you …" Lin Yun unhappily scolded. After sleeping for a few months, the Draconic Beastman seemed to be itching for a beating. He thought that Lin Yun hadn't heard him whispering, yet he still dared to ask so many questions. It looked like he would have to find a time to have a proper chat with Syudos.
At this time, the Draconic Beastman didn't know that he wasn't far from being out of luck. He was still curiously looking around, wanting to see what that damned Mafa Merlin was looking for. He was speaking so mysteriously and even said that he didn't understand. 'Is there anything in this world that Lord Xiuban doesn't understand?'
'Strange …' The six Mage Eyes divided the battlefield into six areas. After a thorough search, Lin Yun surprisingly discovered that he didn't find what he was looking for.
This was a bit illogical …
"Fuck!" After another thorough search, Lin Yun finally cursed. He really couldn't find it. In other words, the thing he was looking for might have already escaped.
Lin Yun wouldn't be worried if it was an ordinary thing that escaped, he would just keep tracking it. But this time, Lin Yun was looking for a Secret Wolf. It was rumored that only one out of millions of wolf-type magic beasts would appear.
To the current Lin Yun, a Secret Wolf's strength wasn't worth mentioning. It was at most level 20, equivalent to a 1st Rank Expert Swordsman or a 1st Rank Expert Swordsman. Lin Yun could eliminate a bunch of them with a wave of his hand.
