That's right, that was the meaning of thunder. Lin Yun clearly remembered that in the decaying library, Lin Yun had read some of the Ascian Dynasty's research materials. Although the Ancient God Runes hadn't been perfectly reproduced, some particularly important or simple characters could still be translated, such as the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, lightning, ice, light, darkness, and so on.
Now, the rune on the Three-Eyed Secret Wolf's forehead was the Ancient God Rune of Thunder.
But why was it such a rune?
Lin Yun thought for a long time, but he couldn't understand.
Nothing could be done about it, an existence like the Three-Eyed Secret Wolf was too rare. It was mysterious to the point that there were no records of it. If not for the Mercenary King appearing out of nowhere, there might not have been any records of the Three-Eyed Secret Wolf in Noscent's history.
Moreover, even the vast majority of the Mercenary King's information only talked about his world-shaking fighting strength and his extremely colorful life. But there wasn't much information about the Three-Eyed Secret Wolf at his side.
Otherwise, how could Lin Yun not know that the Three-Eyed Secret Wolf had such an appetite for mana crystals?
'Hold on, mana crystals …' As he thought of this, Lin Yun suddenly froze.
Then, Lin Yun recalled something.
The most powerful of the dozen mana crystals in his pocket seemed to have come from Vaughn's laboratory.
That's right, it was Vaughn's laboratory. At that time, Lin Yun had used Syudos to shoot down a Thunderbird.
The reason why Lin Yun remembered it so clearly was because that Thunderbird had already reached level 30 and hadn't been at a disadvantage against Syudos. But after being killed by Syudos, the mana crystal left behind was very strange, it was only level 26.
Lin Yun had guessed that this was most likely because the environment of Vaughn's laboratory was different. Under the influence of some kind of power, that Thunderbird had broken through its limits and displayed power above level 30. Lin Yun even felt that this was most likely because of the mountain range in the northern part of Gaugass.
Naturally, this was all just conjecture. As for the truth, he would have to wait until Lin Yun matured and was qualified to enter that mountain range to find out.
Afterwards, Lin Yun carefully studied it and confirmed that besides containing lightning power, this mana crystal didn't have any other special effects. To Lin Yun, mana crystals under the soul realm were only suitable for replenishing mana, so after thinking about it, Lin Yun casually threw that mana crystal into his pocket.
But after such a long time, he hadn't used it to replenish his mana and had instead been eaten by the Three-Eyed Secret Wolf.
And after the Three-Eyed Secret Wolf ate all the mana crystals, the red mark on its forehead turned into the Ancient God's Thunderbolt. 'Is there a connection between this and the Secret Wolf?'
After thinking about it, it seemed possible.
Otherwise, why didn't it change earlier or later? Why did it only change after eating the magical crystal? Moreover, it was such a coincidence that it was a symbol that represented lightning.
'But why is it an Ancient God Rune …' This was what Lin Yun couldn't understand. Although the Three-Eyed Secret Wolf was rare, it didn't seem to have anything to do with Ancient Gods.
Why did the red mark on his forehead turn into ancient Godfiend characters after eating a magical crystal that contained the power of lightning?
"Hey, what's going on …" Lin Yun poked the Three-Eyed Secret Wolf's belly, wanting to wake it up.
But Lin Yun immediately discovered that he had underestimated this guy's drowsiness.
The Three-Eyed Secret Wolf waved its paw, wanting to slap away the thing that was disturbing its sleep. Then, it turned over and went back to sleep.
"You are really something …" Lin Yun unhappily cursed, but he couldn't do anything about it.
It was obvious …
That thing was an ancestor.
In all of Noscent's history, only a few of them had appeared, and their rarity was comparable to that of a powerhouse above the Heaven Rank. Even Lin Yun immediately dispelled the idea of making an Invisibility Cloak when he saw it and switched to raising pets.
Lin Yun didn't dare to touch it now.
What if something bad happened to it …
Helpless, Lin Yun could only put it back in his pocket. But before putting it back in his pocket, Lin Yun carefully took everything out and put them in his left pocket.
Who knew if that guy would be hungry again after waking up …
Eating the mana crystals was one thing, but what about the Magic Tools and potions …
Especially the potions … The potions in his pocket had all kinds of effects. It would be too late for regrets if he ate them.
At noon the next day, the group of five crossed the Aurij Mountain Range.
They then entered the range of the Tulan Mountain Range.
At this time, Lin Yun clearly felt the difference. The Tulan Mountain Range and the Aurij Mountain Range were two completely different worlds. They had only entered the periphery of the Tulan Mountain Range, but the magic beasts they encountered were a lot stronger than the ones in the Aurij Mountain Range.
Xiuban was still in charge of the charge, but the three Merlin brothers had no choice but to make a move.
Nothing could be done about it, as most of the magic beasts here were level 20 or above, and they were always in groups. Xiuban couldn't guarantee his safety on his own. In the afternoon, the group of five even met a Level 30 Golden-Ringed Python, and without Lin Yun's help, the four of them spent a lot of effort to defeat that Golden-Ringed Python.
At this time, the group of five was getting closer and closer to the Traces of Misfortune. Lin Yun gradually felt a chaotic but exceptionally powerful mana fluctuation coming from the distance. Even his Magic Array couldn't bear that kind of pressure and kept revolving on its own.
Lin Yun knew that if they kept going deeper, they would enter the Traces of Misfortune. At that time, they wouldn't encounter a Golden-Ringed Python, but a Golden-Ringed Python King. Thus, Lin Yun had no choice but to call Leon Merlin over. "Cousin Leon, you said before that there was a way to bypass the Traces of Misfortune …"
"Yes, but …"
"Hmm?" Lin Yun frowned as he looked at Leon Merlin with a bad expression.
"Don't worry, listen to me …" Leon Merlin was startled. He knew that his answer had already made this unfathomable cousin feel dissatisfied, so he didn't dare to keep him in suspense. He hurriedly explained, "The shortcut I mentioned isn't far ahead, but it might take some time to find the specific location. My map is missing a piece …"
"Missing a piece?" Lin Yun froze for a moment before suddenly remembering something. After fumbling in his pocket, he fished out a piece of yellowed parchment. "Take a look at this."
"Hmm?" Leon Merlin looked bewildered as he took that piece of parchment from Lin Yun 'hands. After a quick glance, a happy expression appeared on his face. "Yes, yes, this is it. Cousin Merlin, where did you get this?"
"I picked it up."
"…" Lin Yun answered confidently, but Ross Merlin and William Merlin were inwardly cursing, 'Did you pick it up from Stan Watson's corpse?'
With this crucial map, Leon Merlin suddenly became excited. He fished out a few pieces of parchment from his pocket and spread them out on the grass, piecing them together one by one until they formed a complete map.
"It's in the valley ahead!" Leon Merlin looked at the complete map on the grass, a look of sudden realization appearing on his face. "Now, we only need to follow this path, and after about three hours, we'll enter a valley. That's the entrance to the shortcut, and it's also the only way to reach the Tulan Mountain Range without crossing the Traces of Misfortune!"
After getting a clear direction, the group of five no longer hesitated. Xiuban was still in the lead, and the three Merlin Family brothers followed closely behind him. They were resisting the attacks of all kinds of magic beasts as they advanced towards the valley ahead.
In the afternoon, the group of five finally entered a valley.
This valley was indeed different …
Because of the existence of the Traces of Misfortune, the periphery of the Tulan Mountain Range had always been known for being desolate. But after entering this valley, they saw a beautiful scenery. There was a gurgling brook, lush and verdant trees, and a green lawn. Even the scorching sun above their heads seemed to have softened.
"There's actually such a place …" William Merlin hadn't stopped fighting on the way, and now that he was in such a beautiful place, he immediately revealed a satisfied expression. He ran to the brook and was about to wash the dirt off his face.
"Wait, don't move …" Lin Yun, who had been controlling the Mage Eye to carefully investigate the details of the valley, suddenly noticed Merlin's actions and promptly called out to him.
"Ah?" William Merlin froze.
"Leave that place, hurry up!"
"Oh, oh …" Fortunately, William Merlin had always been obedient to his cousin. Although Lin Yun didn't explain, William Merlin still obediently retreated a dozen steps.
Sure enough …
Just as William Merlin promptly retreated, a loud explosion echoed from the gurgling brook.
Following that, the water splashed all over the sky …
Amidst their shock, everyone could clearly see that a huge black shadow was fiercely rushing out from the splash of water …
It was a giant python lurking in the stream …
Its speed was simply frightening. It only took a split second to cross a dozen meters, and only a roar could be heard as that sinister head appeared in front of William Merlin.
The python's bloody maw was very close, and in that split second, William Merlin could smell a thick stench.
