During this period of time when he was making transactions with Militan in Osborne City, Ye Feng had accumulated a lot of gold coins. Even though he only brought a portion of them, he still had several thousand gold coins.
In the shop of Phoenix Nest City, after looking for half a day, Ye Feng gained a new bag on his back, it was filled with potions that he prepared, the quantity was not small.
In any case, he did not lack gold coins.
“I bought many potions, it is quite troublesome to carry them! If only I had a spatial bag, but these things are quite rare.”
“I hope that in the future, I can make my own spatial bag.” Ye Feng sighed and said.
Afterwards, he went to the city gate of Phoenix Nest City, the members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps were already waiting for him there.
Dimitri, who was the leather armored young man drinking malt beer earlier in the Mercenary Guild and bragging loudly, waved at Ye Feng.
“Ye Feng, we’re here, everyone is waiting for you!”
After the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps assembled, Gallio brought everyone to rush towards the Land of Spirits, they had limited time after all.
Phoenix Nest City was separated from Land of Spirits by a forest, it was a miasma forest that was covered in poisonous gas!
Poisonous gas spread in that area, for the Knights of the mercenary group, crossing that miasma forest was an arduous and difficult journey.
Because if any situation arose in the miasma forest, they would need to fight. Knights were the most vulnerable because it was easy for poisonous gas to enter their body during combat.
It could be said.
In this miasma forest, Knights were unable to use their full strength in combat, they were at least thirty percent weaker from the start.
But Magicians were not too affected by it!
This was also why so many Mercenary Guilds became excited when Ye Feng revealed that he was a peak stage two Magician in the Mercenary Guild and also the fact that he had fire magic that had powerful destructive properties.
Magicians had status above Knights of the same level after all!
Especially in a place like the miasma forest, Magicians had a natural advantage, they were the safety net of the mercenary group.
“Ye Feng, this is the first time you are entering a miasma forest, don’t worry too much, just cover your mouth and don’t take in deep breaths!”
“The only danger in here are the demon beasts that may be migrating from the nearby forests!”
“But there is no need to worry too much, this area that we are traveling across is the peripheral area connected to the Land of Spirits. Unless we are extremely unlucky, in the usual case, we will only meet stage two demon beasts.”
Ollie carried his heavy sword and smiled while speaking to Ye Feng.
He was an upper-tier Intermediate Knight, he was only a step away from becoming an Advanced Knight. In the entire mercenary group, other than the Leader Gallio, he was the most senior mercenary.
Gallio sent Ollie to protect the Magician Ye Feng who had weak physical combat abilities.
At this moment.
At this point in time, Ye Feng was guarded at the center, the Leader Gallio was walking at the front while the other members walked by the left and right, the entire Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps had already entered the territory of the miasma forest.
In just about twenty minutes, they would be able to pass the miasma forest and reach the Land of Spirits.
At this time, after hearing Ollie’s words, Ye Feng stopped in his tracks.
Once he stopped, the entire Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps had to stop with him, the Leader Gallio and the rest of the members looked towards Ye Feng in confusion.
“Ye Feng, what happened?”
Ye Feng looked at the shaded area deep within the forest ahead of them, he could not help but ask Ollie.
“Demon beast! Is it hiding in there?”
The other members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps looked towards the area that Ye Feng pointed to, but none of them saw anything, they only saw shadows in the forest.
The only Advanced Knight, Gallio, seemed to have seen something, his expression changed as he raised the sword in his hand, shouting: “Be careful!”
“Demon beast!”
“There is a considerably large demon beast in that forest, it is at least peak stage two, the perception of a Magician is much sharper than us Knights.”
Gallio shouted for the entire group to get prepared.
Deep within the forest.
The demon beast hiding in the shadow also realized that its concealment was seen through, it stopped hiding itself, instead, started to move out slowly.
It had a huge body that was covered in black fur, its every breath corroded the surrounding trees, the length of its entire body was at least four meters long.
Even the most muscular Advanced Knight, Leader Gallio, seemed petite in front of this huge demon beast!
“Gasp!”
“Stage three demon beast, black poison wolf!”
Gallio’s expression changed.
Even the other seven to eight members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps took in a sharp breath, their eyes filled with terror. 1
A stage three demon beast was not weaker than an Advanced Knight!
Furthermore, this was the miasma forest, the black poison wolf had a natural territorial advantage, it would not be restricted like the other demon beasts.
In this miasma forest, the ones affected were only the Knights of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps.
“Damn it, I did not hear of any new stage three black poison wolf appearing in the miasma forest these few days!”
“Our luck is simply too bad!”
“In the worst case, we might all die here.”
The members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps were all flustering, the only calm person was Ye Feng, even the Advanced Knight, Leader Gallio, was only putting up a front now.
Gallio was incredibly flustered internally.
He had killed at least seven to eight stage three demon beasts! But trying to kill a stage three black poison wolf in the miasma forest was simply too much for him.
“Roar!”
The black poison wolf growled, its four meter long body erupted with terrifying force, it charged towards the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps with surging poisonous gas.
This was a hunt!
A complete hunt!
This stage three black poison wolf had appeared in the miasma forest long ago, the reason it had not been discovered was because all the adventurers and mercenaries that saw it were dead.
“Offensive skill, Heavy Slash!”
Gallio shouted, he raised his Knight’s Heavy Sword and slashed down with great intensity at the head of this stage three black poison wolf.
At this moment, he could not care if the poisonous gas got into his body.
The only that he could do was to try to kill this stage three black poison wolf with one strike!
Otherwise, if this dragged on, he would die from getting overwhelmed by the poisonous gas in the miasma forest eventually.
Bam!
The sword missed.
The black poison wolf actually stopped itself in midair, dodging this slash attack that had great power.
At the next moment, the Advanced Knight Gallio who had never failed while traveling the Land of Spirits, was sent flying by the black poison wolf’s attack.
His armor shattered! Blood flowed out like a stream!
He was in a pathetic state!
The only Advanced Knight of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps had been defeated in one instant, he was no longer in his peak condition.
