In the previous chapter update, many people said that Lin Lei abandoned Mate and escaped directly. In fact, Mate was a level 5 warrior, and a agile warrior at that, who could run faster than Lin Lei and had already slipped away before him. However, this book is written from the main character's perspective, so it wasn't described. Some people also mentioned something about classmates. Kava and Mate were both warriors and not students of Enrist College, so they couldn't be considered classmates.
————————
The mountain range of monsters is endless and boundless.
Step into it, and the ancient trees that have grown for hundreds or thousands of years are towering above, with various weeds all over the ground, and thorns growing in clusters. The withered fallen leaves cover the entire ground, and when stepped on, they naturally make a sound, surrounded by dense old vines and weeds.
"This ancient forest, which has been unknown for how many years, is also densely covered with weeds and vines. I estimate that even if there's a demon hiding just ten meters away, our eyes can't see it." Lin Lei felt a chill run down his spine.
Dellin Betances was also nearby.
"Don't even mention ten meters away, Lin Lei. Right in this patch of weeds in front of you, who knows if a giant python is hiding." De Lin Ke Wo Te said with a smile.
Lin Lei couldn't help but look at the clump of weeds in front of him, which was extremely dense and almost half a person's height. It was possible that a python snake was hiding among the densely packed weeds. Taking a deep breath, Lin Lei stood still on the spot, silently reciting his magic spell.
Suddenly, a faint wind spread out in all directions from Lin Lei as the center, eventually disappearing between heaven and earth.
Wind System Magic - Ventus Detectio!
Generally, when one reaches the third level of magic, they can cast 'Wind of Inquiry'. However, the stronger one's abilities are, the wider the range of Wind of Inquiry. The Wind of Inquiry for a third-level magician is only within a range of tens of meters, while that of a fifth-level magician exceeds hundreds of meters.
"In this nearly two hundred meter range, there is only a first-class magical beast, the Bubble Rabbit, and a few second-class magical beasts, the Earth Scorpions." Lin Lei said confidently.
The wind of exploration can feel the shape and breath of living things.
"Don't be too confident, powerful demons can dive underground, and some sanctuary demons can even disguise themselves." Deling Kworte reminded with a smile, "Of course, you're just a small fry, those powerful demons don't need to disguise or sneak around when facing you."
Lin Lei heard this and became even more cautious in his heart.
"Sneaking? Disguising? The books say that the wisdom of magical beasts is close to that of humans, it seems it's not false." Lin Lei thought to himself, glancing at the small Shadow Mouse 'Bei Bei' on his shoulder, "Bei Bei's intelligence is already quite high, can't be careless."
Lin Lei's feet were surrounded by a flow of air, which was exactly the effect of the auxiliary magic 'Extreme Speed' of the Wind System.
Lin Lei proceeded quietly through the Monster Mountain Range, carefully observing his surroundings. The small Shadow Mouse on Lin Lei's shoulder also vigilantly observed its surroundings, its two beady eyes attentively watching all directions. Thus, one person and one magical beast gradually ventured deeper into the Monster Mountain Range.
"The Demon Beast Mountain Range stretches for tens of thousands of miles, and is generally around 700-800 miles wide. In the outermost hundred-mile range, low-level demon beasts are mostly found. If you go deeper into a hundred or so miles, fifth- and sixth-grade demon beasts become more common. If you venture even further in, seventh-, eighth-, and ninth-grade demon beasts will be abundant, and it's even possible to encounter Sacred Domain Demon Beasts."
Deling Kurvate once again told Lin Lei about some news from the Magic Beast Mountain Range.
"Of course, that's not absolute, maybe some ninth-level magical beast will get bored and run a lap around the periphery," Dillin Kowert said with a smirk. "Or you might be unlucky enough to encounter a massive wolf pack of over ten thousand, if that happens, all I can say is that you're out of luck."
Lin Lei couldn't help but curl her lip when she heard Delin Kowert say that.
Nonsense!
The Demon Mountains are so vast, yet you're so unlucky? And once something happens, even the soul of Delingcourt can't help. A holy domain mage without magic power, what attack power is left?
"Grandpa De Lin, I already know all this. Be quiet and don't distract me." Lin Lei said in a bad tone.
Dellin Kowert chuckled and stroked his white beard, saying no more.
In the depths of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, the dense foliage of the ancient trees blocked almost all the raindrops, with only occasional drips falling through. Lin Lei had been walking in this mountain range for some time and knew that the outer regions were not particularly dangerous.
Lin Lei's feet exerted a slight force, and his entire body floated up to the 7-8 meter high treetop, Lin Lei carefully looked into the distance.
"Boss, there's a wild boar in the distance on our right rear side." Beibei's voice echoed in Lin Lei's mind.
Lin Lei listened and couldn't help but turn his head to look, and indeed in the distance of about 100 meters or so, he saw a single-horned wild boar cautiously looking around, if Lin Lei hadn't been standing tall, he probably wouldn't have seen this single-horned wild boar.
"Unicorn Wild Boar, a third-tier magical beast, with the attribute of earth. It can only cast Earth Spike." Lin Lei's mind flashed with information about the Unicorn Wild Beast.
"Although it's only a third-class magical beast, the 'Unicorn Wild Boar', it can still be used as lunch. The meat of the wild boar is not bad." Lin Lei moved nimbly and quietly through the mountain forest, sneaking up on the Unicorn Wild Boar, because the dense underbrush and thorns made it impossible for the boar to notice him.
When he was about ten meters away from the rhinoceros, Lin Lei hid in the wild grass, and through the messy grass, he could vaguely see the rhinoceros not far away.
"Ah!"
Lin Lei burst out of the underbrush like a dragon emerging from its lair, and by the time the rhino turned its head to look at him, Lin Lei had descended upon it like a whirlwind, bringing with him a gust of wind. The rhino let out a deafening roar and charged at Lin Lei with its sharp horn.
"Cheers!" Lin Lei's right hand grasped the horn and suddenly exerted force to lift it.
Those hundreds of kilograms of heavy wild boar were directly lifted by Lin Lei to a height of seven or eight meters, and Lin Lei's entire body was kicked off the ground with one foot. His right leg swung out like a big chopping knife, heavily smashing onto the wild boar's head.
“Boom!” With a bone-chilling cracking sound, the rhino was kicked heavily and crashed into a large tree, before falling to the ground with a thud that shook the earth. The rhino's skull had shattered, its brain matter seeping out of the cracks, while fresh blood continued to ooze from its mouth. Its four limbs twitched two or three times before finally coming to rest.
Relying solely on his warrior strength, killing a third-tier magical beast was not difficult for Lin Lei.
"Although the crystal core of a third-level magical beast is only worth ten gold coins, it can't be wasted." Lin Lei took out a flat knife from the leather package on his back. The flat knife easily opened up the skull with just two or three cuts. With a light flick, an unremarkable yellowish-brown crystal core jumped out. Lin Lei wiped it clean on the grass with one hand and then put it into the package.
Then Lin Lei's flat knife skillfully cut through the wild boar's thigh skin and took out four large hooves.
Lin Lei randomly chopped some branches, and with a wave of his hand, a flame appeared. He set up a simple grill and started roasting the pig's trotters.
Xiao Ying Mouse 'Bebi' drooled, her eyes shining brightly as she stared at the pig's trotters: "This pork is the most delicious, boss, hurry up, hurry up, why don't you just use fire magic to roast it quickly?"
"Fire magic? My fire magic is just half-baked, let alone this barbecue, it's not like the bigger the flame, the higher the temperature, the better." Lin Lei said with a smirk, while also taking some coarse salt and other seasonings to put on top.
Lin Lei initially tested his magical affinity, with earth and wind elements being superior, while fire was mediocre. In fact, a mediocre magical affinity is already quite good for ordinary people. However, for Lin Lei, it's not worth wasting energy on fire magic.
After all, if you want to make your own achievements in fire systems catch up with the dual systems of earth and wind, it's estimated that ten times more effort will be required.
So Lin Lei was just casually refining some fire magic power in his daily life, but releasing the Fireball Technique was still easy.
Two braised pig trotters were ready, Lin Lei and Xiao Ying Mouse 'Bei Bei' each had one, while continuing to braise the other two pig trotters.
"Wow, it's so delicious!" Beibei exclaimed while eating excitedly and chatting with Lin Lei, "This wild boar trotter is much more delicious than the domestic pig trotter, the flavor is also very fragrant, of course, it's also thanks to your great BBQ skills, Boss." Beibei even gave Lin Lei a small flattery.
Lin Lei couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Boss, I want more." Beibei ate another one and looked at Lin Lei with pitiful eyes.
Seeing BeiBei's pitiful appearance, Lin Lei didn't show any mercy and scolded: "This wild boar hoof that's as big as a thigh is much bigger than a roasted chicken. One is enough. The remaining two hooves will be for dinner." After finishing speaking, Lin Lei ignored BeiBei's pitiful appearance.
When the two pig trotters were roasted, Lin Lei wrapped them separately with large pieces of oil leaf and put them in the interlayer of the package, then continued on the road with Bei Bei.
