The Henry Family's people seemed to be very experienced in dealing with this kind of magic beast. After appearing, a few mages went to lure the Storm Wolf into a trap that had been set up in advance.
Once the Storm Wolf entered the trap, someone would immediately activate a barrier and trap the Storm Wolf.
Afterwards, Morgan Henry and Arnold Henry would personally make a move.
Morgan Henry was using darkness spells, and he was most proficient in casting a large number of Darkness Arrows. He could cast over a hundred Darkness Arrows at a time. Each arrow had very little power, but when added together, they could continuously corrode the Storm Wolf's fur.
And with the powerful explosion of the Darkness Sphere, the passive Storm Wolf quickly became riddled with scars.
Lin Yun controlled the Specter and could clearly see that Morgan was a 9th Rank Archmage. His casting speed was very fast, but he only cast Low Tier Spells and relied on the characteristics of darkness spells to attack. His casting speed for High Tier Spells was too slow. In a real fight, this kind of casting speed was too slow.
After recalling for a bit, Lin Yun remembered that Morgan was wearing magic accessories that should have increased casting speed.
As for the other Arnaud, Lin Yun was a bit startled, because that guy was actually a mage specializing in water spells. Under normal circumstances, of the four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind, the water element was basically ice spells. Very few people would be proficient in water spells.
Because most of the water spells were healing spells, and there were also offensive spells that didn't have much offensive power. Thus, the power of the spells was always the weakest.
But when Arnaud was casting, it was raining heavily, and the rain kept getting heavier and heavier. After no less than three minutes, the rain started transforming into water dragons that attacked the Storm Wolf.
After five minutes, a thick flood kept washing over the Storm Wolf. At this time, the Storm Wolf was somewhat unable to bear this kind of attack.
After seven minutes, it was as if a hundred-meter-wide river had descended from the sky, firmly suppressing the Gale Wolf to the ground. It couldn't even lift its head, and was finally crushed to death by the river …
Lin Yun was a bit startled. Water spells would indeed be developed in the future, and the higher the rank, the more powerful the spell. After reaching the Heaven Rank, water spells would display power comparable to fire spells in large-scale battles.
Over ten thousand years later, there would be a famous mage army that was completely composed of Water Mages. When fighting, it would be as if they were in a Water Elemental Plane, and the range they covered would far exceed that of a mage army composed of Fire Mages.
Especially when the Endless Sea was continuously being developed and conquered, Water Mages were even more sought after than Mages proficient in Ice Magic. All the forces that wanted to snatch benefits from the Endless Sea offered the best recruitment benefits to Water Mages. That was also the era when Water Mages' status crazily rose.
But in this era, it was very rare to see a mage that specialized in Water Magic, and one that didn't specialize in Healing Magic.
As long as Arnaud was given time, or if there was a large amount of water in the area where the water elements were active and abundant, his fighting strength would at least double. Moreover, his strength would keep increasing as time passed. It was like a surging river descending from the sky, bringing with it a formidable power that could suppress a Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beast to death. An ordinary 9th Rank Archmage definitely didn't have that kind of fighting strength.
Lin Yun carefully observed through the Specter. Arnaud was carrying things that could increase his mana reserves, and there was even something similar to the Alchemic Mana Whirlpool that could increase his mana by at least 50%.
That kind of fighting style consumed far more mana than ordinary mages, and this kind of configuration was very scientific.
Morgan's fighting style was to quickly cast, continuously increasing the speed and quantity of his casting to suppress Arnaud and buy time.
The other mages of the Henry Family were also like this, continuously casting to suppress Arnaud, not caring about their consumption. They were all casting to buy time for Arnaud. If these mages, along with Morgan, couldn't kill that Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beast, then the longer it dragged on, the more advantageous it would be for everyone, and they would inevitably be the ones to win.
After the battle was over, Arnold immediately sprinkled a large area of water light. Clouds of light blue liquid enveloped everyone. Within a dozen seconds, those who were slightly injured had recovered. As for those who were slightly injured, after one minute, they had all recovered from their injuries and walked out of the water ball.
With the addition of a large amount of potions, these people's mana was quickly replenished. In less than three minutes, the Storm Wolf's mana crystal was collected, and the rest of the corpse was frozen by the Henry Family's mages and put away. They didn't collect it on the spot.
This series of actions looked very proficient, and everyone had their own duties. After the battle was over and their injuries were healed, they left without wasting any time and kept looking for the next magic beast.
The Henry Family's people didn't exploit all kinds of resources on a large scale, they only stopped for a short while when they encountered some very precious things.
Lin Yun arranged for the Specter to follow the Henry Family's people, and the more he followed, the more certain he became. There were simply too many of these Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts here compared to Noscent. They might encounter them twice within a few dozen kilometers.
Moreover, the characteristics of these magic beasts were very clear. They had huge bodies and didn't establish Demiplanes. Although they were Level 40, they didn't have the fighting power of Extraordinary Magic Beasts. Moreover, none of their races could advance to Level 20, yet they had all become Level 40 Extraordinary Magic Beasts.
It looked like Inferior Magic Beasts suddenly becoming Level 40 Extraordinary Magic Beasts. Apart from their instinctive Destruction Energy Spheres, which had some power similar to Extraordinary Magic Beasts, their fighting style was no different from Inferior Magic Beasts. Moreover, none of them had awakened wisdom. Compared to Heaven Rank Magic Beasts, they were simply a group of mentally retarded fools.
After confirming that the Henry Family's people were specialized in gathering these strange mana crystals, Lin Yun also started the process of gathering. He followed the direction of the mana crystals and killed all the Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts he encountered.
Then, the facts confirmed Lin Yun's guess. These mana crystals were exactly the same as the Crimson Firefox's mana crystal he had obtained at the start. A very powerful spatial power was hidden within the depths of these mana crystals.
As they moved forward, the frequency at which they encountered these Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts kept increasing. They would meet one every two days before, but after killing six, they would meet one every day.
After a week, Lin Yun and the others quietly hid on the edge of a bare cliff and looked at the jungle below. The jungle stretched for at least ten kilometers and three sixty-meter-tall deer were scattered in the jungle.
The deer's whole body was moonlight white, and the surface of their skin seemed to be covered in a layer of faint radiance. Countless radiant runes formed patterns on the surface of their bodies, and from a distance, they looked like bright moons.
There were thirty-meter-long antlers on their heads, and the antlers were like trees. Spheres of light emitting a gentle radiance were hanging on the branches, but the mana they emitted was very frightening.
At this time, these three deer were lowering their heads as if they were eating grass. They bit off the treetops of those several-dozen-meter-tall trees. The trees growing there were very ancient, and whether it was the trunk or the branches, they were as hard as Iron Essence. But these things were no different from grass in the mouths of the deer. Even from a few kilometers away, they could hear the sound of Iron Essence being forcibly crushed.
"These are Moonlight Deer. Under normal circumstances, they can at most advance to Level 20. Their fighting power isn't that great, but they are very fast. During the Nesser Dynasty, they were very favored by the Pureblood Elves and were tamed as mounts. There was even a rule in the Dynasty that forbade the hunting of Moonlight Deer in the wild.
"Of course, this is only under normal circumstances. No one can say for sure about the ones in front of us. At the very least, normal Moonlight Deer wouldn't have so many Spheres of Energy with such powerful mana fluctuations hanging on their antlers. Merlin, should we go and get rid of them?"
Anderfa was floating in the air, looking like a thief at the edge of the cliff as he stared at the leisurely eating Moonlight Deer in the distance.
Lin Yun slightly frowned. Moonlight Deer truly weren't strong, but they were very fast. But that was under normal circumstances. These three weren't.
These Moonlight Deer could devour the treetops of thirty-to-forty-meter-tall trees in one bite, but the treetops didn't die. Instead, under the illumination of the Moonlight Deer's antlers, they rapidly grew new branches. The leaves on the bare branches also rapidly sprouted, and the process of growth was accelerated by several dozen times.
Moreover, those moon-like spheres of light on the antlers of the Moonlight Deer were consuming mana, but they were instead becoming stronger and stronger, with more and more mana.
"Sir Merlin, this is a good opportunity. It wasn't easy to encounter three magic beasts together, and they aren't very powerful. Let's get rid of them."
Xiuban's eyes were wide open as he licked his lips. Moonlight Deer were almost extinct in Noscent because their meat was very delicious and had the effect of purifying the body. Mages eating it would increase the purity of their physique, while swordsmen eating it would increase the strength of their bodies and the purity of their Aura.
There were many benefits, and even an inexperienced Beastman like Xiuban had heard of the famous Moonlight Deer. These three in front of them would be enough to eat for a long time after killing them.
Anderfa and Xiuban enticed Lin Yun to get rid of the Moonlight Deer, but the silent Reina was against it.
"Moonlight Deer are rare magic beasts that don't need to hunt, but terrifying means that they are weak. These three are all Level 40, and even the weakest one isn't something we can handle. Moonlight Deer are united, and they definitely won't escape alone when they encounter danger. The possibility of us killing these three Moonlight Deer is very small, and we might have to pay a disastrous price."
The mage army didn't say anything, but Kurumu looked at Lin Yun with a calm expression. He clearly didn't plan on expressing his opinion and was waiting for Lin Yun's decision.
