"Sh * t!" William suddenly let out a startled cry, his face turning pale. He was already panicking as he retreated, and before that sinister head could reach him, he tripped on a protruding rock and fell to the ground.
'It's over …'
William Merlin's heart tightened. The Python opened its bloody maw, its sharp fangs flickering with a cold light under the sunlight. William Merlin felt despair as he felt a strong stench. 'It's over, it's over, it's really over this time …'
He had survived so many dangerous magic beasts on the way, but he hadn't expected that he would end up in the stomach of a Python because of a moment of carelessness in this secluded valley. This was too ironic …
'If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have gone near that stream …'
Just as William Merlin's heart was filled with regret and despair, a huge force suddenly pulled his body back.
William Merlin didn't even have time to react before he was sent flying by that force. Two muffled explosions echoed as two Flame Bursts flew past William Merlin's body.
"Rumble!"
"Rumble!"
The two Flame Bursts hit the Python almost at the same time, and the huge explosion caused the Python to let out a mournful roar!
The huge Python fiercely scuttled out, its several-dozen-meter-long body appearing in front of everyone for the first time. On its sinister head, two lantern-sized eyes unwaveringly glared at everyone, revealing a gaze full of hatred.
"It's just a Water Snake. Instead of staying obediently in the water, it dared to come ashore and court death!" Lin Yun coldly snorted and pointed the Doom Staff in his hand, followed by another Flame Burst.
The Python was also very fierce. After taking three Flame Bursts in a row, it didn't seem to have any intention of retreating. It stubbornly withstood the bombardment of Flame Bursts and rushed towards Lin Yun 'group at an astonishing speed.
This kind of crazy behavior was undoubtedly the most dangerous thing for an ordinary mage.
No matter how powerful a mage was, they would have to consider the consequences of approaching a Python.
But unfortunately …
The python encountered Lin Yun.
Lin Yun didn't seem to notice the approaching Python, and he didn't put down the Doom Staff in his hand. After the first Flame Burst, a second, a third, a fourth …
In just a short moment, Lin Yun had cast a dozen Flame Bursts.
The damage of Pyroblast was already astonishing, and now Lin Yun was continuously firing more than a dozen Pyroblasts at the same spot. No matter how fierce the giant python was, after eating more than a dozen Pyroblasts in a row, its eyes that were filled with hatred could not help but reveal a trace of fear.
When Lin Yun blasted the sixteenth Flame Burst, the Giant Serpent finally twisted its body for the first time, using its back covered in thick scales to resist the bombardment of the Flame Burst.
After the first time, there was a second time.
And then a third time …
Thus, a very strange scene appeared in the valley. A human and a Python were separated by less than fifty meters, but the human was standing there motionlessly, only raising his staff and casting, while the Python had no choice but to twist its body again and again, using its back covered in thick scales to resist the attacks. It looked like the human was a beast tamer in a circus, using a whip to command all kinds of beasts to dance.
Moreover …
That whip's damage wasn't low …
The Flame Bursts in Lin Yun's hands didn't seem to stop, one after the other.
The exact same casting time, the exact same casting rhythm, and from start to finish, he was just repeating the same Flame Burst over and over again. If a veteran mage were to see this kind of fighting style, they would probably scoff at it on the spot. What kind of mage was this? Didn't he know how a mage should fight?
But …
Lin Yun relied on this mechanical repetition to thoroughly blast open the thick scales on the Python's back by the forty-seventh Flame Burst.
Then, the battle completely lost its suspense.
Lin Yun only used two Wind Blades to thoroughly end the battle.
The two Wind Blades simultaneously cut into the wound created by the Flame Burst at a strange angle. Under the violent collision, the internal organs of the giant python were instantly destroyed into a mess …
Up until its death, the distance between Lin Yun and the Python was still fifty meters!
From start to finish, they didn't cross the line of life and death.
"This …" This was the third time Leon Merlin saw Lin Yun fight.
The first time was when Leon Merlin was crushed by Mana Shackles.
The second time was when he saw Lin Yun wreak havoc in the Elder Council.
To be honest, Leon Merlin didn't have a deep impression of those two times. The first time was because the battle started too quickly and ended in an instant. The second time, although the battle lasted for a long time, Lin Yun relied too much on the Theory of Ten Thousand Spells, and the level of the battle with Thorne Merlin was too high. Leon Merlin couldn't understand what was going on.
Thus, up until now, Leon Merlin only knew that this cousin of his was very powerful, but as for how powerful he was, Leon Merlin couldn't say.
But now, Leon Merlin knew …
The power displayed by that Python was at least level 29, maybe even level 30, but it didn't even have the power to retaliate in front of this cousin of his. From start to finish, his cousin had firmly controlled the rhythm of the battle. He only used a bunch of Flame Bursts and two Wind Blades to easily end this earth-shattering battle.
Just thinking about this kind of power made Leon Merlin afraid.
'I'm really wise …'
As he thought of this, Leon Merlin couldn't help inwardly rejoicing.
Although he almost made a huge mistake in Thousand Sails City, he immediately realized his mistake after returning to Okland and maintained his stance in the Elder Council. This was truly wise.
Just think about it …
If he couldn't let go of his grudge in Thousand Sails City and tried to scheme for his cousin's property like that idiot Aube Merlin, he would have already been like Aube Merlin, his Mana Whirlpool shattered and he would have become a cripple.
No, it might be even worse than Aube Merlin …
He didn't have a father like Thorne Merlin …
As he thought about it, Leon Merlin couldn't help sweating. 'Fortunately, fortunately, I'm smart enough and didn't foolishly set myself against this cousin …'
Leon Merlin thought while looking at Ross Merlin, inwardly admiring him. Ross Merlin was famous for being a loner in the Merlin Family, but he hadn't expected him to react so quickly this time. Just as his cousin returned, that guy rushed to hug his thigh. Whether it was luck or insight, he was ten times better than Aube Merlin.
'It seems that Ross Merlin would be the one to compete with me for the position of Patriarch of the Merlin Family in the future …'
While Leon Merlin was thinking about this, William Merlin had already finished harvesting the Forest Python. There were only five people this time, and unlike when they led the chamber of commerce's mercenary group, they had a few dozen Great Mages at their disposal. Thus, William Merlin's harvesting was rather crude, and he only collected a few dozen scales with the strongest defense and the most valuable mana crystal, leaving the rest untouched.
"Strange …" William Merlin was holding the Forest Python's mana crystal with a doubtful expression. "This seems to be an ordinary Forest Python's mana crystal …"
"What else did you think it was …" Lin Yun curled his lips, not surprised by William Merlin's judgment.
"But, are Forest Pythons that powerful?" William Merlin couldn't understand.
Actually, this couldn't be blamed on William Merlin.
Forest Pythons were the most common and the weakest among the snake-type magical beasts. Basically, they could be found in all damp and dark places, and they were very weak. They were usually around level-10, and the most powerful ones wouldn't exceed level-20 …
But this Python just now …
William Merlin had personally experienced that kind of power, and it could really reach level-30. Otherwise, with William Merlin's power, he wouldn't have been able to deal with it so pathetically.
How could a Forest Python reach level-30?
"Because the environment here is rather special …" Lin Yun smiled, and didn't answer William Merlin's question directly. Instead, he quietly released a few Warlock's Eyes and began to investigate the quiet valley.
After releasing the sixth Warlock's Eye, Lin Yun saw that William Merlin was still puzzled, and casually reminded him.
"Have you forgotten about the Four Seasons Canyon?"
"Ah, the Four Seasons Canyon!" After being reminded by Lin Yun, William Merlin also remembered. Yes, the Four Seasons Canyon. Back then, when he had followed the joint exploration team of Chevan City to explore the Four Seasons Canyon, didn't he also encounter such a strange thing?
At that time, the magical beasts of the Four Seasons Canyon were like this Forest Python. They had reached a level that they shouldn't have reached in a completely illogical way.
Could it be that this was another Four Seasons Canyon?
"Cousin, then this place …" Thinking of this, William Merlin was a little worried. William Merlin still remembered the arduous battle in the Four Seasons Canyon.
"Don't ask me, I don't know either …" Lin Yun threw out all the Warlock's Eyes and then started to control them, wanting to explore the entire valley one by one …
This kind of sweeping investigation quickly brought back the results for Lin Yun …
"Found it!" Through the vision of the 3rd Warlock's Eye, Lin Yun quickly found a towering tree in the depths of the valley.
The suffocating aura of life, the numerous alchemy arrays … Everything was exactly the same as the ancient tree in the Four Seasons Canyon!
