Chapter 6: Bipedal Flying Dragon
Andrew's murmurs of explanation still seemed to be in his ears, but Lin Li had no choice but to grope alone in a dense forest, muttering to himself along the way: "Did the old man make a mistake? He even helped me prepare a fake ID, how could he forget to prepare a map?"
Lao Fashi is probably the person who knows Lin Li best in this world. He knew that Lin Li's identity was problematic, so he had prepared a new identity for him. However, he could never have imagined that this guy didn't just have an identity problem, but rather no identity at all. The Luori Mountains stretched for thousands of miles, and Lin Li, who came from another world, how could he possibly find his way out?
It's no wonder that Andurin was careless; who would have thought that a magical genius with expertise in potions would be so inept at directions.
Less than a day after Anduin left, Lin Li had packed his bags, but now that more than ten days have passed, this guy still doesn't even know the directions of the Mountains of Sunset.
The forest was gloomy and dark, the ground was covered with rotting leaves, every step felt like trudging through mud, the foul stench of decay filled the air, making it hard to keep one's eyes open. In the darkness, a few faint green lights flickered, and the howling of wolves made Lin Li's heart tremble with fear.
Lin Li had been wandering in this forest for three days, and since he stepped into the forest three days ago, Lin Li's mood had not improved. This damned forest was like a huge maze, no matter where Lin Li started from or how he groped his way through the forest, when he was exhausted and wanted to sit down and rest, it seemed that he would always find that the trees in front of him looked so familiar...
Lin Li finally heard some sounds after walking until this morning.
They had just passed through a dense forest, when Lin Li suddenly saw that in the front thicket, a wave of leaves was surging, and three figures were rapidly moving within that wave of leaves.
"My god! My god! Real people!" Lin Li, who had always thought of himself as a refined person, blurted out two "my gods" in a row because he was truly too excited - he had actually seen three real people.
Although these three big living people are likely to become dead men soon, in any case, at least they are still alive now.
Only in front of the forest, a wave of leaves surged, and three injured humans desperately escaped from the forest. The middle-aged man holding a long sword seemed to have been seriously injured, with a long wound extending from his chest to his waist and abdomen, hot blood gushing out of the wound, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground covered with fallen leaves.
A young couple was fleeing alongside a middle-aged man, the man wearing a finely crafted magic robe that seemed to be of high quality, especially the staff in his hand, which even Lin Li couldn't help but admit was impressive.
Unfortunately, the current situation makes it difficult for a magician to exert their abilities. In the intense running, the physically weak magician has become a burden. Most of the time, it is the beautiful woman with golden long hair who takes care of the two. This girl is originally pretty and wears a tight red soft armor, which outlines infinite beauty curves during the rapid run. With her left hand supporting the injured person and her right hand holding a short sword upside down, the temperament revealed in her glances makes even Lin Li, hiding in the forest, unable to help but take a few more looks at her.
As for what was chasing them relentlessly, it was a furious two-legged flying dragon. Its anger stemmed from the wound on its abdomen, which was both deep and long, seemingly left by some sharp weapon.
"How exciting!" As soon as the Double-Footed Flying Dragon appeared, Lin Li's two eyes widened instantly.
When he was living in the wooden house, Anduin had introduced him to various demons on the Sunset Mountains. When it came to the seventh-level demon, the Bipedal Flying Dragon, Anduin said with great pleasure: "The blood of the Bipedal Flying Dragon is quite suitable for making violent potions."
Of course, only Andre could say such a thing. For ordinary adventurers, a seventh-level magical beast absolutely has the ability to instantly turn three living people into dead ones.
Its razor-sharp claws, swift flight speed, and the strong corrosive acid spray ability make the bipedal flying dragon have the capital to survive on the edge of the Setting Sun Mountains. Ordinary magical beasts like the Lion Scorpion Thunder Beast dare not provoke them. A furious bipedal flying dragon pours down endless acid from the sky, which is probably a nightmare for anyone.
To be honest, Lin Li was also afraid, but he was more afraid of being in this haunted forest and wanting to get out of it. He couldn't just watch as the Double-Footed Flying Dragon turned those three living people into dead ones. Sometimes, the reason for doing a good deed is simply that.
Of course, with Lin Li's personality, even if he was forced to do a good deed, he would definitely ensure that he didn't lose out first.
Just then, a two-legged flying dragon dived down, splashing acidic liquid into the thicket. In an instant, a burst of green smoke erupted, followed by a series of "sizzling" sounds that rose and fell in succession. Before the green smoke had even dissipated, the lush trees had already withered to a scene of yellowing leaves and falling branches.
The three people who were desperately running away had not been splashed by the acid, but they also slowed down slightly to avoid the acid. This slight pause would normally be no problem, but now it just happened to let them fall into the sharp claws of the two-legged flying dragon. As soon as the three people looked up, they saw a shadow rapidly enlarging in their field of vision, and sharp claws flashing with a dazzling light in the darkness.
At the same time, Lin Li also completed the incantation of the Ice Armor Technique.
As the last incantation was shattered, a layer of incredibly hard ice armor covered the middle-aged man's body. At the same time that it stopped the bleeding from his wounds, it also caused the Flying Dragon Kick's decisive blow to land on empty air. The feeling was like grabbing onto steel, and a sharp pain spread from his claws, causing the Flying Dragon to let out waves of anguished and enraged roars.
The three people who were still in a state of shock took advantage of the opportunity to shake off the flying dragon and hid in the dense thicket.
Then they saw a young man in a long robe of law, walking out from the woods, chanting obscure and mysterious magic spells. An ice cone tore through the air with a whistling sound, precisely hitting the wound on the abdomen of the double-legged flying dragon. The ice cone was not sharp, and even if it were not for the fact that it had hit the wound, this low-level magic would not have caused much damage to the dragon's tough skin.
This ice cone technique can only expand the wound on its body several times, and the original deep and long wound is like a ravine in an instant. Fresh blood splashes out like rain, and even internal organs are desperately surging in the abdominal cavity...
But what was truly fatal was the ice pick that remained stuck in the wound, this ice pick not only pierced the internal organs of the Double Footed Flying Dragon, but also fundamentally prevented the wound from closing, and the fresh blood gushed out like a dammed reservoir bursting open, surging and splashing out with abandon.
After doing all this, Lin Li still ruthlessly released a slow spell.
The blood-splattered, two-legged flying dragon was already extremely weak. At this moment, a slow-moving spell landed on it, and it seemed like an old ox pulling a broken cart. No matter how hard it struggled, the mere ten or so steps distance seemed to have become an insurmountable chasm that could never be crossed.
The dying cry of the two-legged flying dragon was filled with despair, an emotion that accompanied it as it took its last breath.
"What a waste!" Lin Li suddenly thought of something: "So much blood has flowed onto the ground, this could make quite a few bottles of Rage Potion..."
As the Double-Footed Flying Dragon lay dead, the injured middle-aged man leaned against the surrounding tree trunks and struggled to walk out of the thicket. He wanted to go forward to thank his lifesaver, but just as he took two steps, he saw his lifesaver holding a glass bottle, desperately squeezing the corpse of the Double-Footed Flying Dragon.
"Is it really all gone? Help... just squeeze a bit more, just a little bit is fine, let me try to make a bottle of crazy potion..."
This vampire-like action fell into the eyes of the three people, and suddenly they felt a chill run down their spines...
It was still the injured middle-aged man who plucked up his courage and walked over, trembling with fear: "Respected magician sir, thank you for your generous assistance..."
Hearing the middle-aged man thank him, Lin Li then remembered what he was supposed to be doing.
"Don't be polite, it's just a small effort." Lin Li put away the half-bottle of Flying Dragon Blood and carefully placed it in his mage robe pocket. He then smiled and introduced himself: "Just call me Ferre, by the way, can I ask, how did you three provoke this pair of Flying Dragons?"
This was easy for Andre because he had prepared his new identity, and Lin Li had long since memorized it on the way, so now she spoke naturally and fluently, as if her real name were really Ferre.
The middle-aged man did not expect that this seemingly powerful and mysterious young magician would be so approachable, and for a moment he was somewhat surprised and delighted. After another sincere thank you, he then introduced the three people in front of him.
The injured middle-aged man is named McGregory, one of the many adventurers in Galos City. This time he entered the Sunset Mountains to accept a mission from the Adventurer's Guild, with the goal of obtaining the tail spike of a lion scorpion. The beautiful woman with golden long hair is his daughter, named Ina, who is also an adventurer.
As for the magician who looked like he came from a good family, McGregni was somewhat evasive when introducing him, only saying that his name was Cromwell and that he was an enthusiastic magician they had met on the road.
Lin Li heard this and almost laughed, what a kind-hearted magician Mr., wanting to flirt with your daughter, right? Otherwise, who would be so idle as to run to the Sunset Mountains to pretend to be kind...
"Everything was going smoothly, after a few days of searching, we quickly found a lone Lion Scorpion on the north side of the forest. So this morning, we set up a trap near its nest." McGregory's face showed a hint of bitter smile: "Then we hid in the woods and waited for it to take the bait, but who knew that the trap didn't attract the scorpion, but instead attracted two Wyverns. Heaven knows what happened, originally just a trap set for the scorpion, but it completely enraged the two wyverns, they launched an attack on the forest, I killed one of them, but was severely injured by its dying counterattack. Mr. Cromwell had to take me and Ina out of the woods... Luckily we met you, if not for your help, I really don't know what would have happened..."
"What bad luck..." Lin Li said with a regretful face, but in his heart he was secretly rejoicing. Fortunately, you guys encountered the Double-Footed Flying Dragon, otherwise I wouldn't know who to ask to guide me through this damned forest, which is even more difficult to deal with than the Double-Footed Flying Dragon...
