Chapter 1108: Stop-and-Go Side Mission
"Roar!"
In the dense woods, a huge elephant with brown-red hair and two horns was covered in blood and violently crashed into the tall and hard trees around it.
This forest is mainly composed of trees called "iron pulp wood" by the demon clan. As the name suggests, this kind of tree naturally has extremely high hardness that is not inferior to steel.
However, under the impact of the violent and huge elephant, the trees still fell down in large numbers.
Lin Yu brought three wolf demons and watched the mad beast quietly.
The person who started this guy's madness was naturally Lin Yu.
"It seems that this Earthhorn Giant Elephant is nothing special. It's just a powerful beast."
Lin Yu commented.
At least, there should be no connection between this giant elephant and Xia Jin's army appearing here.
Moreover, after moving the giant elephant away from its territory, Lin Yu did not find any special things such as totems or sacrificial vessels hidden in its territory.
So, Lin Yu naturally lost interest in this thing.
"Let's go to the next place."
He shook his head and said.
Although the elephant could not defeat him, Lin Yu felt that there was no need to fight to the death with this giant beast which obviously had very strong vitality.
What's more, although the injuries now caused are not life-threatening, for a beast...
This kind of serious injury is difficult to heal on its own and is likely to cause its death soon.
But Lin Yu couldn't wait until then to collect his spoils.
Of course, Lin Yu’s trip was not entirely fruitless.
The way he casually injured the giant elephant, drove the beast mad, and then escaped unscathed naturally further won the respect of the three wolves.
"Warrior, you are so powerful!"
"No matter who Xia Jin is, it is very stupid to be your enemy!"
Next, no one objected to Lin Yu's suggestion to explore other dangerous places.
After leaving the territory of the giant elephant, they immediately rushed to another "forbidden zone" that was rarely visited by people on weekdays, an unfathomable cold pond where disappearances often occurred.
Here, Lin Yu still did not find any trace of Xia Jin's human activities, but he found a spirit witch who had gone crazy - the other party's witchcraft level was very powerful, but his life breath was extremely weak, and he had almost lost his mind, and was just relying on instinct to randomly release witchcraft attacks.
So, Lin Yu, with the help of Lao Zheng and the [Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals], blocked his own breath, got close to it and killed it with one sword.
Afterwards, Lin Yu searched the other party's body and found some books and notes that could prove his identity. He discovered that this was a wizard who was one generation older than the old Northern Territory Wizard King he had met before. He was considered the first echelon among the wizards of the Northern Territory Spirit Clan at that time. In order to study new witchcraft, he came here to retreat and comprehend the natural world, but ended up going crazy.
Lin Yu put away these books and notes for the time being - although they were of no use for the time being, if Baisha left the Elven Clan, or if he found a suitable opportunity, he might be able to impersonate this guy and infiltrate the Elven Clan.
"As long as your thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than problems. Although it's not easy to impersonate a 'native' of the Black Swamp, as long as you wander around, you can always find a solution and a new 'entry point'."
Lin Yu became optimistic again.
Afterwards, he went to the "forbidden area" mentioned by the next two wolf demons, and eliminated an ancient out-of-control demon totem and killed a mutated demon beast.
At the same time, there were two "forbidden areas" where nothing was found, and Lin Yu determined that the danger had dissipated or it was simply a rumor.
"We didn't find any traces or clues of Xia Jin's army's activities, but we did eliminate a lot of the 'trouble' from the surrounding demon tribes along the way..."
Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.
He now felt like he was completing side quests in a game, solving a bunch of small troubles.
The "harvest" obtained is similar to the side quest. With the witness of the three wolf monsters around him, his reputation within the monster clan has been getting higher and higher!
Passing by many villages along the way, the three wolf demons will inform the wolf tribes living nearby that this human warrior has just helped to deal with the well-known dangerous area nearby, and they will no longer have to avoid that place when doing daily activities such as hunting, picking, and chopping wood.
If these three wolf brothers did not look honest and straightforward, and were not typical natives of the Black Swamp with no thoughts or brains, Lin Yu would have suspected that these guys were deliberately using him to help clear the dangers in this area.
In short... the experiences along the way have made my identity as the "unknown warrior of the human race", whose name I haven't thought of yet, become more and more real and unquestionable.
They walked from dusk to noon, and even though they took a lot of detours along the way, because of Lin Yu's extremely high efficiency, they were now only one hour away from the Wolf Tribe Holy Land.
And there is only one life forbidden zone left that Lin Yu listed as an exploration site.
A pool of water in an open-air cave near the Wolf Clan Holy Land!
It used to be a place where the wolf tribe raised carnivorous fish, but one day, for some unknown reason, large groups of fish often disappeared there - although those carnivorous fish would attack each other, the speed at which they disappeared was too fast.
Because this place was not far from the Wolf Tribe's sacred land, the Wolf Tribe also sent out several warriors to explore—and after those Wolf Tribe warriors who were good at swimming dived underwater...
It disappeared just like those schools of fish!
However, these tribes in the Black Swamp Realm have never had any "truth-seeking spirit".
In this wild and savage world, the then patriarch of the Wolf Holy Land made a judgment: there is no need to waste precious manpower, time and energy on this pond.
Since this thing will disappear if it dives, why not just not let people dive in?
Those who can explore the pool must be trained warriors or wizards, and both are very valuable strategic resources in Black Swamp and measure the strength of a race.
Therefore, the cave was also listed as a restricted area by the Wolf Tribe, and the tribe members were warned not to approach it without permission, especially not to go into the water.
This is also the only one among the several restricted areas mentioned that was personally designated as a restricted area by the patriarch of the holy land, rather than a place that the nearby residents have agreed not to go to.
At first, the wolf demons even felt a bit resistant when this was mentioned...
But after Lin Yu's reputation increased along the way, the wolf demons naturally felt...
"It wouldn't hurt to follow this human warrior and see what's happening in the pond."
In fact, because the strangeness of the pond happened more than ten years ago, it was not something these young wolf monsters had "personally experienced", but had only heard of it.
So these wolf demons even had the idea that "maybe this warrior can also solve the problem of the pond"!
