After instructing the guards left behind by the mermaid Evelyn to continue searching for traces of the One-eyed Dragon and ordering Ashnamov and Argus to stay alert, Yang Ling left together with his Magical Beast Army, returning to the Wissen Castle through the Magical Teleportation Formation. He then headed directly into the vast Terras Forest, charging straight toward the deeper regions of the forest. In order to make it more convenient for him to move, he decided to send the Corpse Wizard King, Shadow Wizard Winnink, and Dark Dragon King into the Wizard PaG.o.da's s.p.a.ce, keeping only the Purple Rat Little Ice and Thousand-faced Mink on his shoulders.

The feeling of returning to the forest is great!

Standing atop a tall tree and looking into the distance, seeing the Terras Forest span tens of thousands of miles, seemingly never-ending, breathing in the fresh air, Yang Ling let out a prolonged shout. Remembering how uneasy and fearful he had been when he had just been transported to the forest, recalling how hard it had been for him to move back then, as well as how difficult it had been for him with no one to rely on, a mixture of emotions welled up in his heart.

After a series of hards.h.i.+ps and battles, even though he still had not found the secret as to why the Ancient Wizards had disappeared, even though he still had a long way to go in terms of his training, his abilities had indeed improved by leaps and bounds from the insignificant Blood Wizard to a high-level Divine Wizard, merely one last step away from advancing to become a powerful Soul Wizard. Furthermore, he also possessed a resource-rich territory with unique conditions — the Magical Beast Territory, officially solidifying his standing within this foreign world.

Compared to how he was like when he had just arrived at this forest, he had had a ma.s.sive transformation in all areas of his life!

Perhaps it would be a good idea if he could one day retire into the forest together with Sofia, Yuna and the rest!

Looking at the great snowy mountains perpetually covered in ice in the distance, looking at the luscious green primordial forest, looking at the meandering clear stream not far away, Yang Ling smiled, patting on the little head of the naughty Purple Rat Little Ice, continuing his journey forward. Further into his journey, he decided to close his eyes, opting to sense the situation around him with his powerful Tree Eyes ability while freely taking in the fresh air in the forest. He leaped from tree to tree like a huge bird, avoiding the dense field of vines and pebbles under the trees. He advanced toward the deeper regions of the forest as fast as the wind, not leaving behind a single trace.

After having advanced to become a high-level Divine Wizard, his Tree Eyes ability had once again improved. He could clearly sense movement within a radius of several dozen miles, even with his eyes closed. The towering trees, low-lying shrubs, frail maize…All of them released a familiar ripple.

After cultivating his Body Honing Wizard Mantra, his physical body had become more and more durable, his strength greater, and his speed faster. At full sprint, other than the Dark Dragon King that also had alarming speeds, no one within the Magical Beast Army could catch up to him. Even the Unicorn that was the fastest creature he had in the past was no exception.

Along the way, Yang Ling saw a large number of low-level Magical Beasts like the Horned Bee Beast and spiders, as well as a few batches of mid-level Magical Beasts like the Violent Earth Bear and the Ironback Lizards. If he had been like he was in the past, he would definitely not let any of them go. He would have defeated the whole lot of them and a.s.similated them into his legion of Magical Beasts. However, currently, other than high-level Magical Beasts, he did not need the average low to mid-level Magical Beasts any longer. There was no need to spend a great deal of time on them. Of course, if a creature was insolent enough to obstruct his way, Yang Ling did not mind killing it and tasting fresh wild game.

Other than the various Magical Beasts, Yang Ling also spotted several hunters, troops, and adventurers who had come into the forest to hunt Magical Beasts. In order to avoid unnecessary formalities and trouble, Yang Ling made his way around them sneakily. Using his high speed, he did not attract anyone's attention.

At full sprint, Yang Ling made his way further and further away from the edge of the Terras Forest. After making his way thousands of kilometers away from the edge of the forest, Yang Ling had expected to have already captured a few high-level Magical Beasts. However, he couldn't even catch a glimpse of them. He did not manage to find any trace of a high-level Magical Beast despite searching for some time, but instead captured a large bunch of low-level Magical Beasts like the Horned Bee Beast and Evil Eye!

Could it be that I am still not far away enough from the edge of the forest?

Yang Ling was silent in deliberation, sitting down to rest near a small lake. The information he obtained from the rumors spread around by people might not be trustworthy, but there would definitely not be a mistake in the memories of his many Magical Beasts. The only explanation was that he was still a significant distance away from the deeper regions of the Terras Forest. Legend has it that the Terras Forest spanned toward the east, deep into the eastern sea territories, with no one knowing exactly how ma.s.sive the forest really is. He had been a little skeptical of the news in the past, but it now seems that it was true!

After resting for a moment, Yang Ling was just about to continue on his journey when the Purple Rat Little Ice rushed back with a rabbit in its jaws. The Thousand-faced Mink was hopping behind it, running circles around Yang Ling.

“You want to have barbeque again?” Looking at the two mischievous creatures, Yang Ling shook his head.

Ever since tasting his food, the two creatures had not been able to forget that crispy, golden-brown roast meat. They would become more excited than even the gluttonous Corpse Wizard King when they saw an opportunity, quickly capturing Magical Beasts back to Yang Ling for him to grill them up. They specifically chose the plump and tender rabbit or mountain goats, which they found to be more delicious.

Seeing the two determined creatures, Yang Ling shook his head before skinning and was.h.i.+ng the plump rabbit by the side of the lake, then took out various tools and condiments from within his s.p.a.ce Ring before starting up a fire. Unexpectedly, he had not even finished grilling the rabbit when the gluttonous Purple Rat Little Ice once again ran back with a newborn mountain goat.

“Tsk tsk, you guys sure are gluttonous indeed!” Yang Ling smiled as he looked at the two creatures staring at the roast meat in his hands while salivating, then quickly slaughtered and cleaned the little mountain goat before placing it on the rack. When the meat was almost ready, he sprinkled on the condiment Alice had meticulously prepared for him. In that instant, the alluring fragrance spread far and wide. Soon, it attracted a group of uninvited guests.

“Oh, brother, are you hunting in the forest alone?” A young lady with blonde hair and wearing a silver armor spoke as she emerged from the bushes, a group of hunters following behind her.

The group consisted of both males and females. Some of them had bows strapped on their backs, some wielded heavy axes, and some held magical staffs about half their height. Their clothes and armor were embroidered with the star-shaped insignia of the Hunter a.s.sociation. Most of them had abilities lower than three stars but were talking and laughing loudly within the forest, paying no attention to the fact that they might attract a powerful Magical Beast. It looks like they were severely inexperienced as if they were a small hunting team that was just set up not long ago. At the very least, it seems that this was the first time they had come to Wissen Town. Otherwise, there was no way that they would not recognize him, the leader who was also the Chief Elder of the Hunter a.s.sociation.

“No, I am just a merchant here to harvest medicinal herbs. I came with a few partners in search of precious herbs a few days ago but lost my way after accidentally splitting up with them. I was unable to get out even to this day!” Seeing the other party stare straight at the meat on his roasting rack, Yang Ling smiled and got them over to have a taste. Even though this place was still not considered the deeper regions of the Terras Forest, they were at risk of encountering a powerful Magical Beast at any time. He was a little curious as to why these obviously inexperienced new hunters would dare come into the area.

“Tsk tsk, you sure are bold. To think that you would dare run into a dangerous area alone!” Looking at the glistening roast meat, taking a whiff of the alluring fragrance, the young lady leading the group sat on the other side of Yang Ling, slicing off a large piece of meat, “That's right, I don't sense any Battle Energy or ripples of Magical Energy within you. Are you not worried that you would accidentally encounter a Magical Beast that would eat you alive?”

“Since I am already in this state, what use is it if I am afraid?” Looking at the beautiful lady that exuded youthful vitality, Yang Ling shook his head, pretending that he was left without a choice, “Oh yes, you can call me Yuri in the future. Even though I am just a small merchant that does not have much capital, I would give you ten Purple Crystal Coins if you can protect me and lead me out of this detestable forest, how's that?”

“Sigh, what can ten Purple Crystal Coins get? That's not even enough for a round of drinks at the bar in town, nor is it enough for a night with a beautiful lady at the Shangri-La!” Seeing Yang Ling offer a pitiful ten Purple Crystal Coins, the young lady leading the group smiled but did not retort, while a large bloke wielding a giant ax by her side made a snide comment, “Under the leaders.h.i.+p of Miss Florence, our hunting team would be able to make much more than that if we just head into the mountains to hunt a Golden Thread Sparrow, or head to the river to fish for snappers!”

“Oh, so you are that famous hunting team. I've heard of your names back when I was in town!” Yang Ling smiled as he looked at the exaggerating large bloke, remembering Fatso Hans, Lia, and the rest. He remembered the boastful Dragon Slaying Troop Team they had created in the past.

“Even though our hunting team had just been set up not long ago, we are the fastest when it comes to completing missions!” The young lady leading the group by the name of Florence smiled, deliberating for a moment before saying with her expression unchanging, “Brother Yuri, you won't be able to earn any money as a small merchant selling medicinal herbs even if you worked yourself to death. I have an idea, why not join our hunting team. After capturing an injured level nine Lightning Bird King, I'll guarantee that you would receive several hundred Purple Crystal Coins; When that time comes, I'll look for His Lords.h.i.+p and discuss things with him so that you can join the Hunter a.s.sociation as soon as possible. You wouldn't even have to go through the test!”

After tasting Yang Ling's food, Florence could not get enough of the fragrant roast meat and was prepared to recruit Yang Ling into the hunting team. Hunting was important, earning money was important, but they definitely also needed delicious food. Yang Ling's abilities did not seem exceptional, but he should have no problem being the professional chef of the team.

“Miss Florence, you… You know His Lords.h.i.+p?” Yang Ling could not remember where he had come across such a generous, beautiful young lady, no matter how hard he tried. While he was confused, he was also extremely interested in the so-called injured level nine Lightning Bird King that she had talked about. As a lightning element flying Magical Beast, the abilities of the Lightning Bird were powerful, placing them at least at a level seven. When they advanced to level nine, their abilities would become even more exceptional. Yang Ling would definitely not let it go if he came across one!

“I do, of course, I do. As long as I put in a word, His Lords.h.i.+p would definitely not reject an old friend like me. You can come to look for me if you encounter any trouble within the Magical Beast Territory in the future!” After blowing on the scalding rabbit meat, Florence opened her s.e.xy mouth before biting down tenderly, stealing a glance at Yang Ling with her beautiful large eyes.

Old friend?

Looking at the beautiful young lady Florence exaggerating using his name while maintaining a straight face, prepared to pull him into her team, Yang Ling was dumbfounded. At that moment, he did not know how many of the hunters she had by her side that had been pulled into her group using such a method.
