"I smell water." Sunier's voice came from above. "Hold on for a bit longer. We'd better get to the spring and rest."
Morrisons raised his head helplessly and asked, "How far is it?"
"Not far. We should be able to hear the sound of the spring if we walk a bit further."
Morrisons could only pull himself together and continue to lead the way. However, the female magicians and the two deacons were very dissatisfied with Morrisons's rudeness and were criticizing Morrisons in a low voice. Asa seemed to have a lot of prestige among the group of young people. He went over and said a few words, and the female magicians immediately became silent.
After walking for a short distance, he saw a spring. Although the spring was very narrow, less than two meters wide, it was still a small paradise in this gloomy forest. At least, he could see sunlight here, and there was real, tender grass.
The female magicians couldn't help but cheer and run upstream, pulling each other. They were all covered in mud and juices of various colors and needed to find a place to wash off.
Morrisons sat down by the spring and put his giant sword beside him. Sassoux and Léger also sat down next to Morrisons. Asa, who was behind them, hesitated for a moment and then walked over to Han Jin.
It had only been two hours, but their state of mind had undergone a tremendous change. Asa knew that they had come too hastily and had hardly made any preparations, but who could he blame for that? It was the dean who said that they had to leave immediately. No matter how much courage he had, he wouldn't dare to make trouble for the dean of the Magic Academy.
Han Jin took out a few pieces of dried meat from his space ring and threw them to Morrisons and the others. He also put a piece of dried meat in his mouth and chewed slowly. "Ahem … there's something I don't quite understand." Asa had already walked over.
"What?" Han Jin and the others all looked at Asa.
"Aren't the teleportation arrays in Isolated Cliff City often used?"
"The teleportation circle is a huge source of income for the Mercenary Association. If it wasn't used frequently, what would they eat and drink?" Morrisons asked.
"Then why … can't I even find the way here? Has no one ever been here before? "
"Oh, you mean that." Morrisons said slowly, "The teleportation circle will only teleport people to a certain area. It doesn't have an exact location. It could be on one side of the mountain, on the other side of the mountain, or even on another mountain."
"How could this be?" Asa asked in astonishment. "What if someone is teleported into a group of magical beasts?"
"That has happened before," Morrisons replied. "What else can we do? If you can't win, then die. "
"This … this … this is too irresponsible!" Asa said angrily. "They are playing with the lives of others!"
"Coming to the Forest of Magical Beasts is an adventure. What are you here for?" Morrisons said with a faint smile. "If you are afraid of risks, then you shouldn't have come."
Asa paused. "But they could have built a fixed teleportation circle in the forest and sent people to guard it. With the strength of the Mercenary Association, can't they even do that?"
"You're thinking too simply."
"Simply?"
"It is said that in the beginning, the Mercenary Association did build a few fixed teleportation circles in the forest. However, an accident happened later."
"What accident?" Asa asked curiously.
Han Jin and the others were also curious. Although Morrisons had never stepped into the depths of the Tarasha Mountains, he grew up in Isolated Cliff City and naturally knew more than the others.
"Since the construction of the teleportation circle, it has greatly facilitated the mercenaries. The frequency of them entering and leaving the Forest of Magical Beasts has also increased. Near one of the teleportation circles, there is a pack of Gale Wolves. For the mercenaries, Gale Wolves are very good prey. The wolf's skin can be used to make leather armor, and the wolf's teeth can be used to make magic swords. If you are lucky, you can even get a few magic crystals. Plus, Gale Wolves are only fifth-grade magical beasts. They are not much of a threat." Morrisons had become the center of everyone's attention. He liked this feeling and slowly told the story.
"And then?" Asa asked, while the others were all listening with great interest. "And then?"
"Although Gale Wolves always move in packs … humans are much stronger than magical beasts." Morrisons pointed at his own head. "An experienced mercenary has too many ways to deal with Gale Wolves. Under the constant attacks of the mercenaries, the number of Gale Wolves decreased rapidly."
"No one knows when, but a Wolf King was born in that pack. A real Wolf King! Normal Gale Wolves are at most sixth-grade magical beasts after they evolve, but that Wolf King's strength … is said to have reached eighth-grade or ninth-grade. "
"Eighth-Grade or ninth-grade shouldn't be that big of a deal, right?" Asa said.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Moxinke rolled his eyes at Asa. "A few high-grade mercenaries noticed the wolf king because they knew they could get a mutant magic crystal. But the wolf king suddenly abandoned its pack and disappeared into the forest. When it reappeared, it had brought back tens of thousands of Gale Wolves." Asa nodded. "That's right." Asa nodded. "What?
"Tens of thousands? Are you kidding? "Léger was shocked. With his ability, if he was surrounded by tens of thousands of Gale Wolves, he would die. Invisibility only hid his figure, but it didn't really make him disappear. If the Gale Wolves didn't disperse, he wouldn't be able to fly away. Once the effect of Invisibility was over, he would be torn to pieces. Plus, wolves had a very keen sense of smell. They would definitely find his location.
"Kidding? Thousands of mercenaries were torn to pieces by the Gale Wolves. Do you think I would joke about this? "Morrisons stared at Asa.
"That's impossible!" Asa shook his head. "Mercenaries are much stronger than Gale Wolves. Tens of thousands of Gale Wolves can't be a threat to thousands of mercenaries!"
"Are you going to listen or not? If you don't, I'm not going to tell you. "Morrisons closed his mouth.
"Don't …" Asa quickly smiled. "I'm sorry, I won't interrupt you again."
"Hmph!" Morrisons snorted. "The Wolf King led the Gale Wolves to attack the guards of the teleportation circle. Strangely, they didn't destroy the teleportation circle after killing the guards. Instead, they stayed near the teleportation circle. Every time the circle was activated, dozens of mercenaries would be teleported over. Then, the Wolf King would attack again. Maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe the Wolf King really could understand human language. The guards of the teleportation circle were changed every ten days. The day the Wolf King led the Gale Wolves to attack the guards was the first day of the change. In the end, all the mercenaries who went through the teleportation circle were killed by the Wolf King. "
"The Mercenary Association didn't find out?" Han Jin asked.
"No." Morrisons shook his head. "No." Morrisons shook his head. "The mercenaries only go to the Tarasha Mountains after receiving enough missions. It's normal that they couldn't finish the missions in ten days."
"Then how did they find out in the end?" Sassoux asked.
"After ten days, the rotating mercenaries went through the teleportation circle, but the mercenaries who were supposed to come back never came back. This made the Mercenary Association suspicious. They sent more mercenaries, but there was still no news. In the end, a vice president, who was said to be a tenth-level professional, personally led some people through the teleportation circle to find out the reason. In the end … he also disappeared."
Sassoux and the others couldn't help but gasp. Just by looking at Gerald, they knew how powerful a tenth-level professional was. According to Morrisons, the vice president was also killed by the Wolf King. This was no longer a matter of strength, but the madness of the Wolf King!
"Isolated Cliff City became very chaotic. Some mercenaries said that there was a problem with the teleportation circle and that it was connected to another dimension. But after repeated inspection by magicians, the teleportation circle was normal! In the end, the president of the Mercenary Association … I can't remember his name. He led some senior professionals to the Tarasha Mountains through another teleportation circle, and then rushed to the location of the incident. " Speaking of this, Morrisons sighed. "Ten days later, they finally approached the teleportation circle. Then they found that it had become a real hell. There were human corpses and wolf corpses everywhere. A tall wolf king with blood-red eyes led tens of thousands of Gale Wolves to guard the teleportation circle."
"In the end, the president of the Mercenary Association rushed back to Isolated Cliff City and announced to the whole city. He said that this was no longer a hunt or a counter-hunt, but a war. A war waged by the Wolf King against Isolated Cliff City! He called on all the mercenaries to take up arms and join the battle. "
"And then?" Asa couldn't help but ask.
"You just said that if the mercenaries could unite, the Wolf King would be no match for the humans at all." Morrisons said, "Then the Wolf King was defeated. However, none of the Gale Wolves escaped. They fought with their king to the last breath."
"I didn't expect Holy Beasts to have such intelligence." Asa sighed.
"There are many things you can't imagine," Morrisons said lazily. "Actually, Holy Beasts are not scary."
"Then what is scary?"
"Humans, elves, and all the other advanced professionals of the intelligent races. They are scary." Morrisons said, "There are always some small conflicts between mercenaries. If no one guides and controls them, they will eventually turn into hatred. A long time ago, there was a mercenary group. When they learned that the leader of an enemy mercenary group would arrive at the western part of the Tarasha Mountains from the teleportation circle the next morning, they set up an ambush near the teleportation circle. When the leader of the enemy mercenary group appeared, they immediately launched an attack and even killed all the guards of the teleportation circle. Later, the Mercenary Association simply dismantled the teleportation circle in the forest and changed it into a one-way circle. The teleportation circle was also changed randomly within a certain area, similar to what it is now. "
"There's such a thing? Why can't they just sit down and talk? "Asa asked.
Léger and Sassoux almost laughed out loud. Morrisons opened his mouth. He was defeated and really didn't know what to say.
"Because the biggest reason in this world is what kind of power you have." The young principal of the Magic Academy suddenly interrupted. Her eyes swept over Han Jin and the others. "Which one of you is Raphael?"
"That's me." Han Jin was surprised. "What can I do for you?"
But the young principal of the Magic Academy turned his eyes away again, completely ignoring Han Jin.
