The current Lin Yun could already kill an Archmage. A magic beast like the Secret Wolf with less than 5 fighting strength didn't even have the qualifications to resist in front of Lin Yun. The vines coiled around and the palm-sized Secret Wolf fell into Lin Yun's hands.
"Awooo, awooo, awooo …" The Secret Wolf let out a childish howl as it crawled around Lin Yun's hands, seemingly dissatisfied with being caught. It bared its teeth and bit at Lin Yun's hands.
But it was useless. Lin Yun had fused his ten Magic Arrays into one and could be said to have ten defensive spells enchanted on his body. The Secret Wolf's first bite felt like it was biting a stone, and the second bite almost broke its teeth.
"Awooo …" The Secret Wolf felt pain and hurriedly brandished its claws, wanting to scratch Lin Yun in retaliation.
But Lin Yun was already prepared. The Secret Wolf didn't even have time to raise its claws before Lin Yun flicked his finger and released a ring of mana. It was like an invisible shackle locking the palm-sized Secret Wolf in place.
"Behave …" After making sure that the Secret Wolf wouldn't struggle, Lin Yun started carefully observing.
Sure enough …
It only took a few seconds for Lin Yun to confirm that he hadn't guessed wrong. There was indeed a red imprint on the Secret Wolf's forehead.
That red imprint was very small, only the size of a pinky finger. If one didn't look carefully, they would think that it was a drop of blood. Lin Yun tried to wipe it with his hand and found that it didn't show any signs of fading. In other words, this imprint was truly innate to the Secret Wolf.
'It really is a Three-Eyed Secret Wolf …' Lin Yun was stunned.
It was rumored that the King of Secret Wolves had an innate 3rd eye. Before reaching adulthood, the 3rd eye would only look like a red imprint. Apart from looking a bit strange, it wouldn't have any special effect. But once the Secret Wolf reached adulthood, its 3rd eye would truly open and break through the limits of its own power. In a very short time, it would keep advancing until it finally reached the Heaven Rank.
And that wasn't the most important thing …
What was truly important was that the Three-Eyed Secret Wolf's third eye possessed an inconceivable power. It could see many things that ordinary people couldn't. Some people even said that the Secret Wolf's third eye could see another world and even the future.
All kinds of legends made the Three-Eyed Secret Wolf's third eye sound like a god. Lin Yun had heard at least seventeen different versions, but in Noscent's history, there had only been six or seven confirmed Three-Eyed Secret Wolves in the past few millennia.
Among them, the most well-known one should be the famous Mercenary King Bujam at the end of the peak of the magic era. That Mercenary King's life was extremely legendary. His father was the master of the Cloud Tower at the time, the Sea Sage, Eamonsus. When Bujam was seven, many Heaven Rank powerhouses of the Cloud Tower unanimously judged him to have unimaginable talent in magic. They even thought that he would become the next powerhouse to surpass the Heaven Rank after Charles the Conqueror.
And this was indeed the case.
Bujam became an Apprentice at eight, a Mage at ten, a Great Mage at eleven, and a High Mage at fifteen. Even during the peak of the magic era, this kind of talent could only be described as shocking. At that time, the entire Cloud Tower had high hopes for him.
But …
No one would have thought that an accident would happen when Bugamo was sixteen years old …
Bujam was already a 9th Rank High Mage when he was sixteen, and once his mana reached the required level, he would immediately step into the Archmage realm. At that time, the entire Cloud Tower was already preparing to hold a grand celebration for Bujam's advancement to the Archmage realm.
But, on the night before Bujam's sixteenth birthday, that unparalleled magic genius suddenly disappeared.
Indeed …
Bujam's sudden disappearance almost drove the Cloud Tower crazy. They almost turned all of Okland upside down and almost started a major war. But unfortunately, they couldn't find him, they couldn't find him at all.
Time slowly passed, and soon, fifteen years passed.
Everyone thought that the peerless genius had thoroughly disappeared, but Bujam suddenly returned to Okland.
As for his identity, he was the leader of a 3rd rate mercenary group with a palm-sized gray puppy at his side. He was leading a group of old and sick mercenaries as he swaggered into Okland.
The most incomprehensible part was that …
Bujam was wearing leather armor and had a longbow on his back, as well as a quiver of arrows hanging from his waist.
Moreover, there were no mana fluctuations on his body!
This news immediately shocked all of Okland.
This was simply an earthquake. Who would have thought that the magic genius that had shocked all of Noscent would return with a longbow and a quiver of arrows, and not a single mana fluctuation?
Thus, many rumors about Bujam started spreading in Okland. The most widely spread one, as well as the one that everyone believed the most, said that after Bujam disappeared, he met an enemy outside and was seriously injured in a great battle. His mana had already collapsed and he had become a cripple.
But this didn't seem to have any effect on Bujam. He returned to the Cloud Tower and then left. He bought a place in the city as his mercenary group's encampment and then led that 3rd rate mercenary group to complete all kinds of missions in Okland.
This confirmed the previous rumor.
Bujam used to be Okland's proud son of heaven, an existence so dazzling that people couldn't look at him directly. How could he be reduced to a 3rd rate mercenary group?
In the beginning, many people cast sympathetic gazes towards Bujam. They felt that the genius of the past had actually fallen to such a state. It was truly pitiful. Of course, there were also those who rejoiced in his misfortune. When Bujam was at the peak of his power, his arrogant personality had caused him to offend many people. Now, these people had joined forces to ridicule Bujam, who was associated with a third-rate mercenary group.
But Bujam still went his own way. Whether they sympathized with him or mocked him, it was as if it had nothing to do with him.
Time passed day by day. Gradually, some people realized that something was wrong with the situation …
Because Bujam's luck was too good.
Almost every mission would have some unexpected harvest, especially the last two times, when he directly dug out two ruins of the 3rd Dynasty not far from Okland!
Okland was in an uproar.
After all, that was the end of the peak of the magic era. After that crazy grave-digging era, the remaining ruins of the 3rd Dynasty could be said to be countable on one hand. Bujam dug out two ruins of the 3rd Dynasty in a short two months. What kind of concept was that?
Not to mention that the location was near Okland.
At this time, there were many rumors about Bujam.
As for Bugamo himself, he relied on the huge amount of wealth he obtained from unexpected harvests to start recruiting for his mercenary group. It only took a year for the third-rate mercenary group he had brought into Okland to become one of the top three mercenary groups in Okland.
What was even more frightening was that Bujam's heaven-defying luck still existed. There would be some unexpected surprises in every mission, as if the entire mercenary group was shrouded in a halo of luck. Half a year later, Bujam's mercenary group finally found a ruin from the Nesser Dynasty during one of their missions and had a decisive battle with Okland's number one mercenary group.
That was the first time Bujam personally participated in a battle after returning to Okland a year and a half ago.
Well, calling it a battle might be too exaggerated.
Because from start to finish, Bujam only used one arrow.
Bujam only used one arrow to kill all the powerhouses of the number one mercenary group, and then it was a one-sided massacre.
After that arrow, Bujam's mercenary group directly jumped to the top of Okland, and Bujam himself was worshiped on the altar of Okland.
In the next few hundred years, Bujam led his mercenary group on expeditions to every corner of Noscent. He had never suffered a defeat in his life and was worthy of being called the Mercenary King of Noscent.
Gradually, Bujam's name was sung by bards, and his legendary life was exposed to the world. People started knowing that the palm-sized gray puppy at Bujam's side wasn't a puppy, but rather a Heaven Rank Magic Beast with terrifying power. It was a Three-Eyed Secret Wolf.
And Bujam's heaven-defying luck came from that Three-Eyed Secret Wolf, because its 3rd eye could see many things that mortals couldn't. It could even see through the fog of time and space.
This was the most well-known Three-Eyed Secret Wolf in Noscent's history.
Lin Yun could be said to be very familiar with this part of history, because it was the part of history closest to the Great Destruction.
That was why Lin Yun's previous actions had been so strange.
Lin Yun was originally about to attack with his Frost Lance, but that red mark on the Secret Wolf's forehead made Lin Yun's mind shake. He realized that he might have encountered a Three-Eyed Secret Wolf.
Now, Lin Yun was sure that this was a Three-Eyed Secret Wolf. Then, he would naturally have to look for Lord Shawn's help.
Thinking of this, Lin Yun softly rubbed the ring on his finger.
But Lord Shawn didn't react for a long time.
"Hmm?" Lin Yun was stunned at first, but then he recalled that Lord Shawn had devoured the Evil Dragon Eye and was most likely still slumbering.
But it didn't matter. In any case, the fighting power of a Three-Eyed Secret Wolf wasn't worth mentioning before reaching adulthood. Besides having to be careful not to let it escape, he didn't need to worry about it harming him.
Thinking of this, Lin Yun no longer worried. He reached out and grabbed the Three-Eyed Secret Wolf, who was bound by the ring of mana. He ignored its howls and threw it into his pocket.
