An afterimage flashed. It was the Three-Eyed Secret Wolf. It stared at the Ancient God's soul fragment on the ground and howled twice. It kept circling around the Ancient God's soul fragment as if it had discovered a new continent. It let out an excited howl, and when it got tired, it lay down beside the Ancient God's soul fragment and extended its claws, as if it wanted to grab the soul fragment. However, it didn't manage to do so.
There were originally two Ancient God's soul fragments, but they belonged to the same Ancient God. After a few days, they had thoroughly fused, and many changes had occurred.
If Lin Yun hadn't left, he would have definitely been surprised to discover that there was a strange rune on the Ancient God's soul fragment. This kind of strangeness couldn't be described with words … For example, he had clearly seen it, but he couldn't remember its appearance!
This was definitely an existence even more difficult to decipher than the rune on the Book of Death.
The rune on the Three-Eyed Secret Wolf's forehead also started faintly changing. It was actually somewhat similar to the strange rune on the Ancient God's soul fragment.
In the next few days, Lin Yun stayed in the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group's camp. The three mercenary groups kept going deeper into the Tulan Mountain Range, and Lin Yun gradually felt that the magic beasts they encountered were getting stronger.
Especially the twenty Amethyst Magic Apes they encountered not long ago, all of them level 25. If not for an Archmage powerhouse making a move, the three mercenary groups would have suffered disastrous losses.
After the Wyvern's attack a few days ago, the relationship between the three mercenary groups had become very subtle. They had originally quarreled over a place to set up camp, and their camps were arranged in a triangular formation, separated by a large distance. They were clearly on guard against each other.
Now, the three mercenary groups' Vice Leaders would often gather together to discuss something, but they weren't as hostile as before. Although they would occasionally quarrel, their relationship had eased up.
Lin Yun noticed these changes. He naturally knew that after the Wyvern's attack, the three mercenary groups should have already realized how dangerous the Tulan Mountain Range was. If the three mercenary groups didn't unite, it would be very dangerous.
At this time, in a tent …
"Chief Captain Anli …"
Sitting opposite Orson was a skinny middle-aged man. Even with Orson's arrogance, he didn't dare to show it in front of this middle-aged man. Instead, he put on a humble appearance.
Only Orson knew the reason …
This middle-aged man's identity wasn't simple. He was already a 9th Rank Expert Swordsman in his forties and led five elite teams of the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group. His position was the Chief Captain.
In the entire Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group, apart from the captain and vice-captain, Chief Captain Henri held the highest position.
Orson really couldn't be arrogant in front of Chief Captain Amway!
"Chief Captain Anli, there's something I need to tell you." Orson looked at Chief Captain Anli's expression and excitedly said, "Some time ago, I kindly saved a guy called Mafa Merlin at the edge of the Traces of Misfortune. You don't know, but that guy is a complete scoundrel. Not to mention his insatiable greed, he's also a cowardly and shameless scoundrel!"
"Do you still remember the night the camp was attacked by the Wyvern? Yes, it was at that time that Mafa Merlin not only didn't go to kill the Wyvern, but instead sneaked to another place to steal our Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group's loot! Chief Captain Anli, do you think this kind of person is worthy of our Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group's protection? I feel that we have to drive him out! "
"Hmph, leaving someone like him in our Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group won't be of any use. Who knows, he might even bite back. After all, he's so greedy, it's hard to guarantee that he won't do such a thing …" Orson fiercely said. Because he was too excited, he didn't care about Chief Captain Anli's feelings. His saliva splattered all over Chief Captain Anli's face … Fortunately, Chief Captain Anli had a good upbringing and only frowned as he wiped it off.
After saying so much, Orson felt a bit thirsty. He picked up the water beside him and drank a few mouthfuls. He then looked at Chief Captain Anli and concluded, "In short, this kind of scum and black sheep will definitely cause big trouble if he stays in the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group!"
"Oh?" Chief Captain Anli looked at Orson with a strange expression.
After about a minute, Chief Captain Henri nodded and said, "Okay."
"Chief Captain Anli, follow me, I know where that guy lives …" An ecstatic expression appeared on Orson's face as he led Chief Captain Anli towards Lin Yun's residence.
The night the camp was attacked by the Wyvern, Orson had thought of using this method to deal with Lin Yun. After all, that guy was only a 2nd Rank High Mage. After being expelled by the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group, he would be left alone in the Tulan Mountain Range. How could he survive?
He would definitely die without a complete corpse …
But Orson didn't do this immediately. He had been patiently enduring and had been living in seclusion for the past few days, rarely showing his face. After waiting for a full three days, he reached the depths of the Tulan Mountain Range, where magic beasts over level 20 could be seen everywhere. Only when he was ready to make his move did he look for Chief Captain Anli and describe Lin Yun in all sorts of ways.
'Damn, Mafa Merlin, aren't you arrogant? Haha, I'll let you know what death is! After you are expelled, you will be accompanied by fierce magic beasts, hahaha …'
But what Orson didn't know was that he was walking on a path of misfortune, and he was walking further and further away.
At this time, Lin Yun was in his living quarters with a pile of fangs taken from the Wyvern King in front of him. These fangs were very sharp, and if they were made into an alchemy item, they could be roused by mana and shot out in an instant. Even a 9th Rank Expert Swordsman's Aura Shield wouldn't be able to resist.
The fangs also contained a highly toxic poison that couldn't be cured by High Mages. If they weren't treated in time, their blood would coagulate. Ordinary Alchemists simply couldn't handle these fangs, only Master Alchemists would be able to.
But Lin Yun didn't intend to turn the fangs into alchemy items, he wanted to use them to upgrade Carnage in the hands of the Draconic Beastman. Once completed, Carnage's power would increase by one rank, and it would gain two special attributes, Armor Break and Corrosion. These were two very important attributes for Carnage.
"Xiuban, bring Carnage over." Although the camps of the two mercenary groups were quite a distance apart, Lin Yun and Xiuban had a soul contract, so this summon immediately reached the Draconic Beastman's ears.
But at this time …
A faint sound came from outside, and two people pushed the door open and entered.
The one who spoke was Orson. He looked at Lin Yun with an unconcealable sense of schadenfreude. After entering, he revealed an exaggerated regretful expression. "Aha, Mafa Merlin, I'm really sorry, but our Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group can only send you here …"
He didn't dare to be too obvious in the presence of Commander Henri.
Otherwise, he would have ruthlessly taught Mafa Merlin a lesson. That guy actually dared to chuckle at him.
"Oh?" Lin Yun frowned and raised his head to look at the two uninvited guests, but he didn't say anything.
"Mafa Merlin, you have seen what happened on the way. The magic beasts are getting stronger and stronger, and our Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group can't even look after ourselves. An outsider like you naturally can't stay in our Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group. Do you understand what I mean?" Orson sneered as he looked at Lin Yun.
Commander Henri frowned and glanced at Lin Yun, but he didn't say anything. He understood what kicking a Low Rank High Mage out of the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group meant.
As they kept going deeper and deeper into the Tulan Mountain Range, the magic beasts on the road were getting more and more powerful. Even the three mercenary groups had to unite and work closely together to ensure their safety.
What about a Low Rank High Mage?
Without the protection of the three mercenary groups, it would be impossible to leave the Tulan Mountain Range unscathed. Let alone a 2nd Rank High Mage, even a 9th Rank High Mage wouldn't be able to return to Okland alive.
In Commander Henri's eyes, Mafa Merlin would inevitably be killed by the magic beasts. This was without a doubt.
Although he knew the consequences of expelling Mafa Merlin, he didn't plan on saving that Mafa Merlin. In any case, Orson was on their side, and he would most likely become a Vice Leader in the future. He had to give him face, while Mafa Merlin was only an insignificant outsider.
"Haha …" Lin Yun looked at Orson with a funny expression. "You said that the Tulan Mountain Range is very dangerous. What if something happens to me here?"
"Hmpf! Mafa Merlin, what does your life and death have to do with our Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group … "
'Mafa Merlin, now you know what fear is …'
'I can make you die without a complete corpse with just a few words. This is the difference between us!'
'Beg for mercy? Fuck! It's too late to beg now, I'll definitely kill you … '
Commander Henri had a complicated expression as he looked at Lin Yun. His throat moved, and his voice was as hoarse as ever. "Mafa Merlin, leave the camp …"
How could he not see that there was a conflict between Orson and Mafa Merlin?
But if he didn't know how to make a choice, how could he sit in the position of Commander?
It wasn't that he didn't want to help Mafa Merlin, but that he couldn't!
"The Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group is worthy of being Okland's number one mercenary group. You are too professional and trustworthy. I hired you to protect me, but you brought me into the dangerous depths of the Tulan Mountain Range before throwing me away. Are you a mercenary group or a bandit group?"
Commander's face reddened when he heard Lin Yun 'words.
"So what? Didn't you hear Commander Henri's words? He told you to leave the camp immediately. Our Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group doesn't welcome you! " Orson had a disdainful expression. He had indeed seen Lin Yun pay a portion of the commission when he arrived at the camp. It was roughly a dozen mana crystals, extremely shabby. "As for your pitiful reward, I'll have someone throw it outside the camp …"
