697 Poison (1/2)

On the way, Beta understood and followed behind Xiuban like a well-behaved little brother. Lin Yun didn't care much about that guy, and someone so cowardly was sure to end up under someone's control.

They were approaching the ruins Beta mentioned when something happened.

Cries of Wyverns could be heard in the sky. In the distance, over a hundred Wyverns were flying in the sky, and he could also faintly feel some vibrations coming from the earth. That was the sign that many Kodos were walking.

And the Wyverns were flying in the same direction that everyone was going towards.

Beta climbed on a tree trunk and glanced at it before falling down with an exclamation.

”Over, it's over, It's Lodney! Lodney came!”

Under the cover of a tree, Beta was acting as if he was possessed, trembling all over.

”What's the matter?” Lin Yun asked with a frown.

Beta crawled up from the ground, clearly terrified. ”Respected Sir Merlin, we… We should hurry up and escape… Oh, no… By all means, don't run into Lodney, he is very troublesome…”

Lin Yun frowned, but didn't speak. Beta panicked and immediately tried harder to persuade him. ”Respected Sir Merlin, this Lodney is very scary, he is one of the three Warlords of the Ash Beastman Tribe, and he is the most brutal one. He was a peak 8th Rank Arch-Warlock, and I heard that he recently advanced to the 9th Rank and signed a contract with a level 38 Abyssal lifeform.

”It was said that it was a true Abyssal Demon covered in flames that stood several dozen meters tall, I even heard that just standing in front of it would burn people to death! And, and, I also heard that when Lodney encountered a level 38 Three-Headed Python, he laughed and said he discovered some new delicacies for his partner.

”That Three-Headed Python was over a hundred meters long! This is too terrifying, but then Lodney summoned that Abyssal Demon, and before the Abyssal Demon could do anything, the Three-Headed Python coiled around it. But the Abyssal Demon was too powerful, without even making move and just by relying on the flames on his body, he cooked that Three-Headed Python… That's a level 38 Three-Headed Python! It can even swallow Kodos alive! But it was easily cooked and eaten by that Abyssal Demon…

”That's not all, I heard once Lodney hunted down an Elder of the Dark Elven Race! Although Dark Elves aren't much in terms of strength, their Elders are very troublesome. I heard that this Elder had some Ultimate Spell so powerful that he could cast it and instantly get rid of an army the size of my former army.

”But that Elder was chased by Lodney and killed at the entrance of the Dark Elven Clan's gates. He ultimately was attacked by several Dark Elven Elders, yet he managed to escape without injury while easily destroying the Dark Elves' Ancient War Tree!”

Lin Yun threw a glance at Elsa after hearing Beta's torrent of words, which Elsa answered with a calm nod.

Lin Yun frowned, clearly not expecting this. A group of several Dark Elven Elders together was a pretty strong line-up. The 2nd and 3rd Elders were both 9th Rank Archmages, while the 4th Elder was at the peak of the 8th Rank, and she was even far ahead of the 2nd Elder when it came to Ultimate Spells, not to mention the Great Elder who was a step away from the Heaven Rank...

Lodney killing in front of the Elven Clan and still managing to escape showed that he was clearly very powerful.

Beta was talking very energetically, but then he suddenly remembered that Elsa was a Dark Elf, so he immediately changed the topic. ”Lodney is too powerful, the other two Warlords of the Dark Elven Clan don't even want to fight him. He often doesn't listen to the Tribal Chief's orders, either. This isn't just because he is overpowered, it's also because of Lodney's subordinates.

”Lodney's subordinates are very powerful, he has over a hundred Flying Riders, and their Wyverns are at least level 33. These riders are all Sword Saints, and he also has over a hundred powerful Demon Arch-Warlocks who had all signed contracts with Abyssal lifeforms.

”Even the slaves, the minimum requirement for Lodney's Beastman Slaves was level 25, no lower. He also has the tribe's most powerful Kodo, a level 38 Kodo. I heard that this Kodo can swallow magic beasts on the same level, and is carrying the most powerful war drums of the tribe…”

Beta was drooling as he said all that with anxiety visible on his face and his legs trembling. He was afraid of being found out by Lodney, because with Lodney's vicious nature, he would definitely slice him to pieces. He couldn't go over, so he could only hold Merlin's thigh for now.

Lin Yun frowned. Even if Beta was exaggerating, it wouldn't be by too much.

Elsa was worried and softly said, ”Merlin, we should stay away. Each of the three Warlords can be compared to one of our Clan's Elders. And this Lodney is extremely ruthless and powerful, he has over a hundred Flying Riders and the subordinates he brought are powerful, we might not be able to contend with them.”

Enderfa also nodded. ”Fighting those Beastman isn't necessary, we would only waste our strength and time. These Beastmen are mad dogs that will bite whoever they see, not letting go until their last breath. We should avoid them.”

Lin Yun raised his head to look at the sky and frowned. ”They noticed this place.”

He had just sensed two Wyverns flying over from a distance.
