The might of Flame Bursts never disappointed.
Even the Level 15 Rotten Flower was crippled on the spot under the bombardment of Lin Yun's Flame Bursts. The ten-meter-wide petals were blown into pieces by the Flame Bursts, and a pungent, dark red mucus flowed out of the wound created by the Flame Bursts.
That was the blood of the Rotten Flower. Many alchemists liked to use it to make poisons. The poisons made from the blood of the Rotten Flower were extremely corrosive, and if an ordinary person came into contact with it, they would end up with their intestines and stomach rotting.
Even a Great Mage like Lin Yun didn't dare to rashly come into contact with it. Relying on Haste and Levitation to temporarily float, Lin Yun was spending his mana lavishly, casting one Flame Burst after another. In a short ten seconds, Lin Yun had cast a dozen Flame Bursts on the Rotten Flower's body.
Each Flame Burst would cause a fierce explosion, followed by mournful screams and countless dazzling sparks. The Rotten Flower struggled a few times to crawl out of the ground, but how could Lin Yun give it the opportunity to do so? He would forcibly use Flame Bursts to push it back down.
The vitality of a magic beast like the Rotten Flower was far more tenacious than that of an ordinary magic beast. Once it completely came out of the ground, Lin Yun would have to spend a lot of time to deal with it.
The Magic Spring in Lin Yun's pocket couldn't keep up with this kind of consumption.
Thus, from start to finish, Lin Yun only used one spell, Instant Cast Flame Burst.
Flame Burst's mana consumption was shocking, not to mention the fact that it was instant cast. After a dozen seconds of indiscriminate bombardment, Lin Yun had consumed no less than half of his mana.
Naturally, this shocking consumption brought about an even more shocking result.
The level-15 magical beast, the Rotten Flower, actually didn't manage to climb out of the ground at all. Just like that, it was pinned to the ground by Lin Yun's instantaneous Pyroblast spell. Even until its death, it didn't manage to struggle out of the ground.
By the time the effects of the Levitation Spell wore off and Lin Yun landed on the ground, the Rotten Flower had already turned into a charred mess. It was impossible to tell that it was a lively level-15 magical beast just a few seconds ago.
After Lin Yun landed, he quickly harvested the Corrosive Flower's mana crystal. Then, the ring on his right hand flashed, and pure mana slowly poured into Lin Yun's body.
The ring was inlaid with the Elemental Amber that Lin Yun had brought back from the Bone Plane.
It was reasonable to say that the best way to deal with the Elemental Amber was to enchant a High Mage spell. That way, even a Magic Apprentice would be able to use a High Mage spell, and it would have an unimaginable effect on their fighting strength.
But the cost of enchantment to enchant a High Mage spell was a bit high. At the very least, an Archmage would have to personally do it, and they would have to pay a huge price. Lin Yun didn't have that kind of reputation, so he directly gave up on that method.
Lin Yun's ring was made of Mithril, and there were two miniature alchemy arrays carved on it. One was used to absorb mana during meditation, while the other was used to replenish mana during normal times. Nine out of ten alchemists would shake their heads if they saw this kind of method. It was too crude, it was simply a waste of an excellent material like the Elemental Amber.
But to Lin Yun, who was used to living a bitter life, it didn't matter if it was a bit crude. Magic Tools were good enough, there was no need to pursue some flashy but useless functions.
Just like these two miniature alchemy arrays, the absorption and replenishment were enough to display the effects of the Elemental Amber. Although it was at most an Excellent Magic Tool, when it came to practicality, many Glorious Magic Tools and even Inheritance Magic Tools were far inferior to this ring.
As the light of the Elemental Amber kept shining into the cave, a steady stream of pure mana poured into Lin Yun's body. The mana he had consumed during the previous bombardment was almost completely replenished.
After doing all this, Lin Yun used Detect Life to make sure that there were no other Corrosive Flowers hiding in the surroundings. Then, Lin Yun put the mana crystal he had just harvested into his pocket and started looking for the cave mentioned in the notebook.
Soon, Lin Yun found out …
"No way …" Then, Lin Yun raised his head, his mouth wide open, a lifeless expression on his face.
Lin Yun clearly remembered that when those alchemists mentioned the cave, they all said that they had to walk in.
"But, how do we walk in!" Lin Yun raised his head to look at the cave on the precipitous cliff. At this time, he really wanted to ask about the relatives of those alchemists.
Needless to say, the cave was on the precipitous cliff …
The most frightening part was that Lin Yun only needed to raise his head to find at least four Dragonfly nests. Numerous Toxic Dragonflies were circling the entrance of the cave. Indeed, the Toxic Dragonflies weren't very high, they wouldn't surpass Level 10 at most, but there were too many of them.
There were at least a hundred Toxic Dragonflies at the entrance of the cave. Just looking at them made his scalp numb.
Lin Yun really wanted to ask those alchemists who had written those notes.
'Can we really walk in?
Don't lie to me … '
But after thinking about it, Lin Yun understood.
The alchemists who had written those notes were at least High Mages, and the majority of them were Archmages. Powerhouses of that rank didn't even need to make a move. Just by standing there, the pressure they emitted was enough to make these Toxic Dragonflies, which were at most level 10, flee.
No wonder they walked in …
But Lin Yun couldn't walk in …
Lin Yun didn't have the tyrannical aura of an Archmage. Let alone standing there, even if he knelt there, the Toxic Dragonflies would still rush over, not giving Lin Yun any discount.
'It looks like I can only fight my way in …'
Fortunately, there was still a lot of mana within the Elemental Amber, and with the addition of the Rotten Flower mana crystal he had just obtained, he could use it to replenish a lot of mana.
Lin Yun knew that this battle was unavoidable, and he had to finish it quickly. The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him. He only had a dozen Magic Spring potions in his pocket, and he couldn't afford to be tossed around a few times. If something happened in the cave, he wouldn't even have a place to cry to.
After making up his mind, Lin Yun waved his hand and cast a few buffs. By relying on Haste and Levitation, he was like a nimble leopard cat as he quickly climbed the steep cliff. After twenty seconds, he was already standing at the entrance of the cave.
At the same time, he alarmed the surrounding Toxic Dragonflies.
In a flash, only green venom could be seen splattering over. It looked like countless locusts sweeping over a rice field. The entrance to the cave was extremely narrow, and it was surrounded by numerous Toxic Dragonflies. Even if Lin Yun cast all kinds of buffs, he wouldn't be able to dodge in such a narrow area.
Fortunately, Lin Yun didn't think of dodging.
Just as the first Toxic Dragonfly spat out its venom, Lin Yun once again activated his Instant Cast Metamagic ability. He then raised his hand and a thick Ice Wall appeared.
Not too much, not too little, just enough to block Lin Yun's body.
The densely packed venom fell on the Ice Wall, letting out a scalp numbing sound. Lin Yun managed to escape the fate of being bathed in venom under such impossible circumstances. But the reason why Lin Yun was so afraid of the Toxic Dragonflies, apart from their large numbers, was because their venom was very corrosive. That kind of corrosiveness even surpassed that of the Rotten Flower's blood.
In that split second, at least a hundred venoms sprayed on the Ice Wall. In an instant, that thick Ice Wall melted at an extremely fast speed. In less than five seconds, the Ice Wall that Lin Yun had painstakingly erected collapsed with a loud rumble.
And Lin Yun was once again exposed to the Toxic Dragonfly's venom.
But thanks to the Ice Wall's five seconds, Lin Yun finally finished casting a spell.
Flame Barrier!
It was also a defensive spell, but compared to a Mage's Ice Wall, the Flame Barrier was on a completely different level. The Flame Barrier was known as the blessing of the Balrog, and under its frighteningly high temperature, it could even easily melt steel. More importantly, as long as Lin Yun was willing to keep pouring mana into it, the Flame Barrier would never extinguish. Unless someone directly attacked Lin Yun through the Flame Barrier, the Flame Barrier would always exist.
A dozen Hypertoxic Dragonflies that were too close fell into the flame barrier. Under the terrifyingly high temperature, these Hypertoxic Dragonflies didn't even have the time to scream before they were turned into a few balls of charred coal.
And it wasn't over yet …
After casting the Flame Barrier, Lin Yun used one hand to control the raging flames while his other hand kept changing hand gestures. Along with his hurried incantation, he actually completed a second casting. That was a Fire Arrow, and it wasn't just one or two Fire Arrows, but several dozen, over a hundred. In an instant, the narrow entrance to the cave was covered in dazzling flames. The numerous Fire Arrows let out sharp whistling sounds as they slaughtered the Toxic Dragonflies through the Flame Barrier.
After fusing with the Magic Array, the Fire Arrow was no longer a simple Mage Level Spell. With the support of the Magic Array, the Fire Arrow started blossoming with shocking power. Several dozen Fire Arrows crisscrossed in the narrow space like a terrifying meat grinder, continuously killing the Toxic Dragonflies that were scattering in all directions.
