Chapter 67 You're telling me these two are at the peak of Tier 1?!
Nak actually came to see him!
After extracting this crucial intelligence, Lin Er's expression instantly became very serious.
The good news was that Nak wasn't familiar with Blackrock City, and after searching for three days without finding anything unusual, he had no choice but to return the way he came. Then came the news of his death from the poison.
After Lin'er searched his soul, Nak, who was already weak, died on the spot.
Nak's body quickly turned bluish-gray. He hurriedly threw it down, and the entire corpse decayed at a visible speed, disappearing from human form in the blink of an eye.
"I suspect Nike was poisoned by the Blackrock City tavern before he died, but based on the memories I found and the way he died... it was probably his patriarch who poisoned him. He's really ruthless."
Lin Er couldn't help but feel a little alarmed, and at the same time he felt a great threat.
This dragon shaman named Kolo will definitely not give up so easily; he will surely come back to Blackrock City to search again.
He now knows the location of the Mist Bone Nest, but it is protected by a hallucinogenic poisonous fog, making it difficult for ordinary people to approach. Moreover, it is guarded by a large number of demons, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Previously, Butler Roslin had clearly stated that the dragon's minions were in the Misty Forest, but their location could not be pinpointed.
Now that Lin'er has Nak's memories, and since Nak was careful before leaving home and secretly made some hidden marks, there's still a way for him to sneak in.
"If we report this to the guild..."
Lin Er obtained information from Nak that Kolo's strength was at the peak of the third tier, which Chief Mage Morris could handle, not to mention the other powerful figures in Blackrock City.
However, there is a problem: if the guild breaks through the Mist Bone Nest and captures the Dragon Shaman Kolo alive, the existence of the Spirit Gathering Array will be revealed.
The Spirit Gathering Array has excellent concealment effects. Its only flaw is that it gathers and accumulates a large amount of wind element. If someone investigates carefully, they may discover the anomaly.
Having such a precious treasure in hand could be life-threatening without the strength to protect it.
"I need to find a way to silence them first."
However, Lin Er is not strong enough to deal with a third-tier enemy right now, even with Flora by his side.
"Nak is very familiar with the core area of the Misty Forest. There are many water elementals near a lake. If I can refine them all, my cultivation level should increase dramatically."
Afterwards, Lin Er called Talia and the others back. When the two saw the corpses lying on the ground, they expected it to be very bloody, but there were no wounds at all, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Er said in a deep voice, "I have already found out. Their lair is called the Mist Skeleton Nest, and the leader is the third-tier peak dragon shaman Kolo. The defenses are extremely tight."
Flora stepped forward, almost touching Lin's chest, and asked urgently:
"Any news from Blackhorn?"
Lin Er nodded and replied, "Blackhorn is in the Mist Skeleton Nest."
Flora's pupils contracted, and she couldn't help but clench her fists, her fingers almost digging into her flesh.
Lin Er quickly said, "Don't be impulsive."
"I know that a peak third-tier opponent is beyond my current capabilities."
Flora sighed, her emotions gradually calming down.
At this moment, Talia suddenly spoke up: "So what should we do now?"
Lin Er pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go help Roman and the others first, and then report this matter to the guild later."
The guild is currently trying to eliminate the Dragon Shaman Kolo. If they can get more information and send more people, Kolo won't be distracted and will try to cause trouble for them.
Lin'er then examined Nak's belongings and found a leather scroll in his bundle.
[Low-grade Transformation Talisman: Infused with a wisp of spiritual energy, it can transform into a creature similar in form to the user, possessing a certain degree of power, lasting for twenty-four hours.]
Talia also saw the animal hide scroll and said, "It's actually a scroll, but it's just a low-grade disguised scroll, worthless."
Lin Er said in a deep voice, "Then put it away for now, and we'll talk about it when we get back."
After disposing of Nak's body, the four men returned the way they came.
Flora's pursuit finally led them to Roman and his three companions.
At this moment, three of the four Rust Blade Brotherhood members jumped into the tree, while Roman remained below, struggling to hold up his shield. It was probably because of his large size that he couldn't easily climb the tree to escape.
Lin Er noticed that they were all more or less injured, and there were eight or nine wolf carcasses lying on the ground.
There are currently four large dire wolves, each the size of a lion, and several smaller forest wolves under the tree.
These wolves were also wounded, but judging from the current situation, they had the upper hand.
Lin Er didn't go over immediately. He looked around and saw that the tall trees nearby could be used. He quickly said:
"Talia, lay down the vines in front first, then summon water elementals to intercept. Flora and Keller, you two attack from the trees."
After quickly devising a plan, Lin Er had Flora take Talia up the tree, while he and Keller leaped up and landed on the treetop.
Then, Talia laid vines and thorns on the path below and summoned water elementals.
Lin Er deliberately kept a distance of more than fifty meters, and only felt relieved after seeing that the water element had not noticed him.
With no worries about the rear, he immediately released his flying sword, and a white sword shadow flew swiftly towards the dire wolf on Roman's side at an extremely fast speed.
A flash of white light, and in the blink of an eye, a dire wolf was instantly cleaved in two at the waist.
Before the other dire wolves could react, he pointed his finger and his flying sword slashed at the second dire wolf.
With a scream, the second dire wolf was also beheaded, its blood splattering on the spot.
Lin Er had successfully launched two sneak attacks and was about to kill the third dire wolf when the remaining two dire wolves finally reacted, dodging the attack and staring intently at the strange flying sword hovering in mid-air.
He controlled his flying sword to slash at a dire wolf, leaving a trail of sword light.
The dire wolf swiftly swung its claws, and with a bang, sparks flew everywhere.
"The speed is surprisingly fast."
After a slight surprise, Lin Er immediately controlled the flying sword to fight the dire wolf. Although it was on guard, it was still difficult to completely resist the flying sword. Every now and then, it would be grazed and have some flesh cut off.
After realizing that Lin Er and his group posed a greater threat, the forest wolves decisively abandoned their attack on Roman and rushed over.
At the same time, Flora also charged up and fired a whirlwind arrow, which flew away.
With a soft thud, it struck the other dire wolf in a vital spot, causing it to writhe on the ground in pain, already incapacitated.
Without their leader, the remaining forest wolves were no threat at all. With the water elemental blocking their way, even the vines covering the ground couldn't get through.
……
On the other side, Roman was struggling to hold on after being ambushed, waiting for his teammates to recover.
Suddenly, the four second-tier forest dire wolves in front of him howled, and two of them were instantly decapitated.
Roman had excellent eyesight and discovered that it was actually a sword blade flying through the air. He was both surprised and curious, as he had never seen such magic before.
At that moment, another arrow pierced the air, like the cry of a kite, and instantly struck down a forest dire wolf.
He then saw who it was; it turned out to be Lin Er and the others who had caught up.
In the blink of an eye, the four extremely threatening second-tier forest wolves were either dead or wounded.
Roman's eyes widened. "You're telling me these two are at the peak of the first tier?!"
