The whips of the horses were whipping the horses, and the hooves of the horses produced a series of 'tick-tock, tick-tock' noises on the gravel road. Lin Xiao was sitting in the carriage, resting with his eyes closed.
"Master, there's a small town up ahead. Do you want to take a rest?"
Hearing the coachman's voice, Lin Xiao slowly opened his eyes. He pulled open the curtains and looked in front of him. It was a very ordinary border town.
He nodded and said,
"You can leave when we reach the town."
After passing through the town, they would arrive at the territory of the non-humankind. The coachman was just an ordinary person with some martial arts, and he could easily die if he went there.
The coachman complied and drove the carriage into the small town.
"Wanted: Defected Apprentice Leng Lan!"
Lin Xiao glanced at the bounty poster pasted on the wall at the entrance of the town. He snorted coldly and didn't say anything.
Half a day later, a black-robed man left the town and disappeared into the wilderness.
The sky was dark as usual, and thick clouds were hanging low. The border between the northern part of the Sorcerer Empire and the other races was a huge wasteland.
According to the information Lin Xiao had seen in the Morning Star Tower, this place used to be part of the Empire a long time ago. It was a very fertile place, and later on, humans and other races fought over this area. Later on, during the Battle of Azshara, the Wizard Emperor personally led an expedition, fighting the leaders of the four major races here.
The terrifying spell that could destroy heaven and earth had destroyed this land, directly changing the laws of this land, causing it to gradually become barren. From the rich granary of the empire, it had now become an uninhabited desert. Even the foreign races were not willing to stay in this place.
It was said that if one were to travel through this land, they would be able to see ancient abandoned towns and cultivated fields, as well as the remnant energy and effects of ancient destructive Witchcraft.
There were even sorcerers who discovered distorted space and spatial cracks that led to other worlds in the center of the battlefield. From time to time, they would see some otherworldly creatures coming through the spatial cracks, and some of them were even more terrifying.
Fortunately, those terrifying big guys usually stayed in the center of the battlefield and rarely came out. As long as he didn't wander around, with his current strength, he wouldn't encounter any danger.
Half a month later, Lin Xiao had entered the deepest part of the Wasteland. He had already crossed the inner battlefield of the Wasteland. The influence of the Chaos Sorcery had gradually decreased. Occasionally, he could already see some foreign races who had gone out to train in the Wasteland.
There were many kinds of alien races in this world, and most of them could be found in their original forms in other worlds.
For example, Orcs, Harpies, Half-Orcs, Mutated Orcs, and so on.
In fact, the orcs were a very large category. Any non-human race that had some similarities with beasts could be categorized into this category. That was why the race known as the orcs in the World of Adepts had nothing to do with the orcs of other worlds.
Just like the human race, the Wizard system was also a very rare high-end system. They could also give birth to Wizards or a system similar to Wizards.
However, there were very few powerful wizards among the foreign races living at the edge of the wasteland. Lin Xiao didn't go into the territory of the foreign races, so he was almost invincible in this area. In the wasteland, he specialized in hunting foreign orcs, collecting souls and collecting interest.
The Destroyed family's xenogeneic race was called the Half Scorpion People. They weren't big, but they were very strong. They looked like the Demon Scorpion Emperor, who had the upper body of a human and the lower body of a scorpion. They were much stronger than humans.
It was said that the Half Scorpion People weren't native to this world. They were a foreign race that had escaped from the spatial crack of the distorted battlefield.
Their habitat had been moved to an oasis in the wasteland. After living in this world for so long, they had become a native race. However, they still had a certain connection with the distorted space in the center of the battlefield.
Lin Xiao planned to find a way to slowly kill the Half Scorpion People and take revenge. At the same time, he would collect souls to complete the first part of the deal with the terrifying existence in the Uncanny Valley and strengthen his own strength. It was killing three birds with one stone.
After completing the first part of the deal, he would be able to get rid of this terrifying existence and no longer be controlled by others.
Lin Xiao's intuition told him that he had to get rid of this terrifying existence as soon as possible. He couldn't be addicted to it. Otherwise, his future would be miserable.
"Whoosh!"
A stone the size of a human head flew across dozens of meters and smashed into a tall figure. The figure didn't move at all. He waved his sword and chopped off the tail of a Half Scorpion People that was more than two meters tall. He stretched out his left hand and pressed it on the Half Scorpion People's forehead. His five fingers were deeply embedded in the hard skull. Along with the vibration of his finger bones, a ripple appeared around his palm. A transparent Half Scorpion person's shadow was forcibly pulled out and its corpse fell to the ground.
The remaining Half Scorpion People became even more furious when they saw this scene. They threw their javelins one after another and even spat out black poisonous needles from their tails.
However, when the attacks landed on the black-robed person, they were all bounced off. Even the tribe's warriors shot out thick crossbow bolts, but they couldn't injure the target. The Half Scorpion People were pressed down by the black-robed person and their souls were extracted.
The Half Scorpion People were furious, but there was also a trace of fear. However, no one fled. Instead, they continued to fight bravely.
A few minutes later, dozens of Half Scorpion People had already been killed. However, a tall Half Scorpion Priest in the center of the tribe had already finished casting the spell. A huge black door was opened and an angry roar came from it. The door of light was torn apart and a huge head with a diameter of nearly two meters drilled out from it.
No, it wasn't just one head, it was two heads.
Following the furious roar of that Half Scorpion Priest, a powerful force pushed open the black door. A Twin-headed Scorpion Man with a height of more than fifteen meters crawled out from it. It had six scorpion arms and a scorpion tail that was more than ten meters long.
This thing's appearance was extremely sinister. Its two heads looked like they were squeezed together by the door. It was very sloppy. Its body was covered with a layer of thick black carapace like armor. There were many skull-like things on its back. There were many holes on the top of its body. Black gas was gushing out from the holes. One could faintly see the bound soul.
Under the Twin-headed Scorpion Giant's open mouth, there were black and yellow teeth that were uneven. The viscous yellow liquid flowed out from its mouth, emitting an unpleasant stench.
This thing was very brutal. As soon as it came out, it grabbed the Half Scorpion Man beside it and stuffed them into its mouth. The hard scorpion shell was chewed with a crunching sound. Red blood and green internal organs mixed together and flowed out from the corner of its mouth. It looked very disgusting.
The aura emitted by this Twin-headed Scorpion Giant was very powerful. It was even more frightening than the Crystal King Snake that he had seen before. It felt like a terrifying existence that had stepped into the third rank, but it was still a little lacking.
The logical thing to do was to immediately leave. After all, Lin Xiao was only a rank 1 Magus. Even if he had activated the bloodline of the Ancient Titan God, he had yet to step into the third rank. The risk of risking his life to fight with this big guy was a little high.
However, the enormous amount of souls accumulated on this Half Scorpion Giant's body firmly attracted his attention.
This thing probably had the innate talent of a Soul Hunter. The black smoke that was gushing out from the holes on its thick carapace was all contaminated soul force.
From what he could sense, under the jet-black contaminated soul force, there were densely packed imprisoned souls. There were quite a lot of them.
He was currently lacking souls. With so many souls stored in this thing's body, it was simply a treasure trove.
Hence, Lin Xiao was immediately tempted. He decided to take the risk and see if he could get rid of this guy.
Before he took action, he increased the speed at which he killed the ordinary Half Scorpion Men.
Previously, he was still holding back. Now that he was going all out, these Half Scorpion Men that were slightly stronger than ordinary people were no match for him. He killed them one by one with his sword.
The Twin-headed Scorpion Giant did not stop him. This thing simply did not care about the life or death of its own kind. Even when Lin Xiao was killing, it was still devouring the corpses of its own kind on the ground, as if it had not eaten for a long time.
Only when the remaining Half Scorpion Men could no longer endure and collapsed did Lin Xiao stop to observe this Twin-headed Scorpion Giant that was still eating heartily.
Seeing that it had no plans to take action, he retreated to the side and prepared to take a break to recover his stamina and spiritual force.
However, his retreat instantly attracted the attention of the Twin-headed Scorpion Giant. One of its heads suddenly raised and looked at him, shouting loudly.
"You are Thom's food!"
It stuffed the corpse of the Half Scorpion Man into its mouth and rushed over with a rumble.
It was obvious that it had been paying attention to Lin Xiao and treated him as food on its plate. It was just that it was busy eating snacks and did not take action. Now that it thought that he was going to run, it immediately wanted to take action.
Lin Xiao calmly cast a Moon Shadow Technique on himself to increase his speed and evasion. Then, he tried to chant a sentence to quickly cast a Confinement Technique.
The Twin-headed Giant Scorpion Man suddenly stopped and staggered, almost falling down. Its left face was extremely angry. It raised its giant tail that was more than ten meters long, and the tail flashed with a dim light. Lin Xiao quickly moved more than ten meters to the side. The place where he was standing just now seemed to have been hit by an air cannon, and a large pit of about two meters was blasted out. The edge of the pit was covered in a layer of green, and the crushed soil was melted to the bottom of the pit, accumulating a layer of dark green liquid. This attack was not only powerful, it also contained a strong poison.
"Hiss …"
He pointed with his finger again, and an invisible air blade flashed past. With a bang, a hole appeared on the black carapace on the Giant Scorpion Man's forehead.
"It's effective?"
The defense of the carapace was lower than he had imagined.
Lin Xiao's eyes brightened, and he quickly cast another Air Blade Technique to bombard the Twin-headed Scorpion Man.
The so-called Sentence Break was to cast a spell by chanting two key words in the incantation. Normally, only official Magi would be able to master it. Apprentice Magi would not be able to do it, except for those geniuses.
A single Air Blade Technique required 1.5 Spiritual Force and 2.1 Magic Force. Lin Xiao currently had close to 60 Spiritual Force and more than 70 Magic Force, and he could cast it more than thirty times in one go.
However, looking at the damage of this spell, he felt that he would not be able to kill this Twin-headed Scorpion Man even if he hit it thirty times. This thing's body was really too big, and its life force was too strong.
However, he did not expect to rely on this to kill it, and it would be fine to use this to weaken it first.
Then, he relied on his speed and agility that were much faster than the Twin-headed Scorpion Man to continuously kite it. He continuously used the Air Blade Technique to bombard the tail of the Twin-headed Scorpion Man from a distance, cutting the carapace on the surface of the scorpion's tail piece by piece, until he reached the flesh.
However, when he had almost cut the carapace of the scorpion's tail, the Twin-headed Scorpion Man roared angrily, and black Soul Energy gushed out from its body, covering its entire body.
After a while, the black gas disappeared, and the wounds on the body of the Twin-headed Scorpion Man were completely healed.
Lin Xiao …
