"Sir Merlin, why don't you get rid of these guys? Looking at that smile, I want to tear their mouths apart, especially that Morgan, he is really too hateful. He dares to steal our things, he must be tired of living, I really want to snap their necks …"
Although the mages of the mage army didn't say anything, Kurumu came over as a representative.
"Sir Merlin, they clearly took it away, yet they refuse to admit it. They have to pay the price for daring to steal our things …"
Anderfa also came over, his three faces filled with rage as he hooted.
"Merlin, get rid of them! If they dare to steal our mana crystals, we will steal their Magic Tools. These guys have a lot of good things, I can sense eight True Spirit Magic Tools, let's snatch them all …"
Lin Yun waved his hand with an indifferent expression.
"They like to collect mana crystals, so let them collect them. It's only a Level 40 mana crystal. That Frost Ape is only a Pseudo Heaven Rank powerhouse, and its mana crystal is the weakest among Level 40 mana crystals. There is no need to keep wasting time with them."
Although everyone was still angry after hearing Lin Yun's words, they didn't say anything about getting rid of the Henry Family.
A strange smile appeared at the corner of Lin Yun's mouth as he glanced in a certain direction. A kilometer away, that True Spirit Magic Tool called the Spirit Snake was rapidly chasing after the Henry Family.
The Spirit Snake couldn't be discovered by detection spells. Detect Mana, Detect Life, Detect Elemental, Detect Undead, these spells were ineffective against it. Even if mana was extended, there wouldn't be the slightest feedback.
But the Spirit Snake wasn't an illusory thing, it had a solid body. Any ordinary person could see the Spirit Snake with their eyes.
Lin Yun hadn't said anything earlier, he had been using the Magic Array to calculate the surroundings and capture the Spirit Snake's position. The places where the Spirit Snake moved would always be different.
Using the Magic Array to capture it, it was as if the grass had suddenly been pushed down a bit, and the air flow had a bit of fluctuation, as if a transparent thing was moving.
He couldn't catch the Spirit Snake, but the Magic Array could catch the minute changes in the snake's surroundings.
The members of the Henry Family left, but Nimble Snake didn't. He watched from afar for a while before leaving.
In the future, the Spirit Serpent would be used as a True Spirit Magic Tool that excelled at scouting. The Spirit Serpent could be seen with the naked eye, but couldn't be sensed. In the future, there would even be two groups of mages fighting against each other.
One was constantly perfecting the Spirit Snake, and the other was constantly researching ways to discover the Spirit Snake.
The Nimble Snake in front of him was far inferior to the Nimble Snakes that were almost discovered by mages in the future. It was too easy to deal with …
Lin Yun opened the Book of Death and opened the Planar Path to the Bone Plane, letting Xiuban go and capture an ordinary Skeleton Soldier.
A strange incantation came out of Lin Yun's mouth, and the skeleton soldier's body kept shrinking, its bones rapidly turning into nothingness.
In the end, it turned into a ghost-like thing, like a thin cloud of smoke gathering together. It had no limbs, only two illusory eyes.
That spell was a rare universal spell, a special spell without elemental power. It had been researched by the more serious mages in the future.
That thing was called a Specter. By forcibly sacrificing an Undead, it could transform into a Specter. It didn't have any attack power, and its only use was to share vision. Moreover, apart from light spells and necromancy spells, elemental spells were ineffective against Specters, and physical attacks were also ineffective.
A low-level Light Missile could kill a Specter, and even a bit of light mana could make the Specter dissipate.
But that thing was the bane of the Spirit Snake.
Because with the Spirit Snake's scouting method, it simply couldn't discover the Specter. Even if the Specter floated in front of the Spirit Snake, the Spirit Snake wouldn't be able to discover it.
Since the Henry Family had a Spirit Snake, and after leaving, they let the Spirit Snake scout for a while. This meant that they were very confident in the Spirit Snake's scouting ability, and they even had complete trust in it.
Perhaps the scouting and warning work had been handed over to the Spirit Snake, so the rest was going to be fun.
Lin Yun grasped the Spirit Snake's position and had the Specter chase after the Spirit Snake to follow the Henry Family.
In less than a few minutes, the weightless specter that could ignore all physical attacks caught up to Nimble Snake like a wisp of thin smoke.
Through the shared vision, Lin Yun could clearly see that silver Spirit Snake twisting its body as it silently and rapidly advanced. It was very fast as it shuttled through the forest, covering a distance of several dozen meters every second.
After having the Specter follow the Spirit Snake, Lin Yun smiled.
"Merlin, what the hell are you doing? You snatched it, so why did you release another one? What is that thing? Such a weak thing, do you want to follow that Henry Family member? "What's so special about that mana crystal?"
Anderfa's three faces floated over. He originally thought that Lin Yun wouldn't compromise so easily, but when he saw Lin Yun's actions, Anderfa thought of many things.
It wasn't just Anderfa, everyone else was holding back their anger, their bellies full of questions.
Lin Yun smiled and pointed at the Specter in the distance.
"That thing is called a Specter. It's a very weak but also very powerful thing. All physical attacks are ineffective against Specters, and elemental spells are also ineffective against them. Naturally, Extraordinary Power doesn't count.
"But the weakest Light Missile, or even the weakest Light Healing, can extinguish it. A Death Impact can also scatter that Specter.
"This thing is naturally used to track the Henry Family. To be more precise, it's tracking the Spirit Snake."
When Lin Yun told them about the Spirit Snake, everyone was startled. Only then did they realize that they had been monitored.
"Their movements were very proficient. From the moment they appeared, they released the barrier and then used spells to kill the Frost Ape. They took advantage of the barrier blocking the mana probing and the dust and chaotic spells to attack the Frost Ape's head first. This was to pave the way for the Spirit Snake. Then, when the Frost Ape died, the Spirit Snake would enter the Frost Ape's body through the wound and take away the mana crystal.
"This shows that this isn't the first time they did this. Moreover, after taking away the mana crystal, they immediately gave us the Frost Ape's corpse to lower our vigilance. This shows that their goal was the mana crystal from the start. They didn't need anything else.
"According to the normal procedure of collecting magic beasts' corpses, this Frost Ape's mana crystal should have been collected last. They would have already gone far by then, and we wouldn't have any evidence even if we discovered them, so this matter could only be left like that.
"Don't tell me that we still have to chase after them for a mana crystal?
"I believe that no force that can enter the Raging Flame Battlefield would waste time like this.
"The Henry Family is famous for being rich in the Odin Kingdom. They didn't hesitate to use this kind of method to steal that mana crystal, and they even disdained the Frost Ape's corpse. They didn't have any thoughts of possessing it.
"This shows that the value of that mana crystal far exceeds that of the Frost Ape's corpse. At least to them, that mana crystal is very important.
"Before, I discovered a very powerful spatial power hidden within the Crimson Firefox's mana crystal. If I'm not mistaken, this Frost Ape's mana crystal should be the same.
"But the spatial power inside is very deeply hidden. Even the magic beasts themselves can't use it, and it would be very difficult for us to use it.
"There must be a very deep secret hidden within. The Henry Family might have learned some inside information and wanted that mana crystal."
Everyone understood after hearing Lin Yun 'words.
"No wonder Sir Merlin didn't say anything from the start. It turns out that Sir Merlin knew everything …"
Lin Yun shook his head and didn't explain. He had only discovered the Henry Family's tricks.
Lin Yun wouldn't have found it strange if the Henry Family had bought the mana crystal and acted like a nouveau riche. It was strange that such a wealthy family would act like a thief.
Moreover, that mana crystal was also very strange. It clearly had a very powerful spatial power, but the two magic beasts they encountered didn't show any signs of using that spatial power.
Lin Yun was experienced and knowledgeable, but he couldn't understand why. The Henry Family had definitely learned some inside information for doing this.
Since that was the case, he would let them take it and then follow them to understand the inside information or the hidden secrets.
Anderfa quietly floated over, his three faces wearing strange smiles.
One of the faces said with a strange smile.
"Merlin, are you fishing right now? In human terms, you're casting a long line to catch a big fish. "
Another face immediately retorted.
"No, this is called rearing pigs. First, let the people of the Henry Family spend a lot of effort to hunt magic beasts, giving them a sweet taste. Then, after feeding them fat, we'll get rid of them and loot their mana crystals."
"Right, after taking one from us, we'll make them spit out ten. No, how could ten be enough? We'll need fifty!"
Lin Yun couldn't help laughing. Anderfa's three faces were about to quarrel with each other. Lin Yun wouldn't say that he really had such an idea. After the Henry Family spent a lot of effort to gather more mana crystals, he would go and snatch them all.
The group kept moving forward. On the second day, they didn't encounter any powerful magic beasts. Everyone collected precious materials while advancing in the direction indicated by the mana crystal.
On the third day, the vision transmitted by the Specter suddenly changed.
The people of the Henry Family were very confident in the Nimble Snake. Apart from the people guarding the airship's deck, the Nimble Snake had been the one doing all the scouting and warning missions.
And this also made things convenient for the Specter. The Specter kept following them without the Henry Family noticing.
After following them for two days, Lin Yun was certain that they were moving in the same direction as everyone else. Moreover, they were intentionally hunting those Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts.
Right now, they were hunting a Gale Wolf, which was also a low-level magical beast. The strongest Gale Wolf was definitely not more than level 20.
And that Storm Wolf was very huge. Its four limbs were over forty meters tall and over a hundred meters long.
Although it was a Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beast, its fighting style wasn't much different from an ordinary Storm Wolf. It was just that its power was much stronger and the Wind Blades it spat out turned into Destruction Energy Spheres.
