The mountains in the Magic Beast Mountains are continuous, and various plants have been growing for many years, making it very troublesome to travel in the Magic Beast Mountains. The most troublesome thing is that you often need to climb over mountains and cross ridges, or even take a detour.

  "In the mountains of monsters, advance without clearing away the thorns on the road, and instead take a detour." Deling Kowert was explaining many experiences to Lin Lei.

  Lin Lei listened carefully while continuing to move forward.

  "Remember, in the Beast Mountains, it's taboo to make continuous noise, or you'll be discovered by many beasts. Even if you do make a sound, leave the area quickly." Derrin Kowert continued, "And remember, even if you're injured, try to cover up any bloodstains, as the smell of blood will also attract beasts. A beast's nose is much more sensitive than ours."

  Lin Lei looked up at the sky.

  The crowns of countless tall trees almost covered the entire sky, and Lin Lei couldn't help but think of some common sense in the library of Ernst College, where people living deep in the mountains and forests must learn to distinguish between east, south, west, and north.

  Lin Lei nimbly crossed over the tangled branches and vines lying across the path, just like a monkey.

  "Psst~~" Seeing a scene not far away, Lin Lei couldn't help but take in a breath of cool air.

  Three men and two women's corpses are about a dozen meters ahead, the five corpses have not rotted much yet, but the signs of being bitten and eaten are very obvious. The bodies of the five people are incomplete, one male thigh was eaten away by more than half, his belly also had a big hole, the broken intestines flowed all over the ground. One woman's skull was eaten away by half, with an eyeball still intact, the pale white skull even had some maggots crawling on it.

  Lin Lei's face turned pale and he held his breath.

  "They should have died two or three days ago." Deling Kuo appeared beside Lin Lei, carefully examining the five corpses, his face still relatively calm. "Lin Lei, take a closer look, on the chest of each of these five corpses, there is an inconspicuous bloodstain on their clothes over their heart area. If I'm not mistaken, these five people were killed by humans, and they were all killed by the same person."

  Lin Lei was shocked.

  "Grandfather Deling, you said he was murdered?" Lin Lei looked at Deling Kowert in surprise.

  Dellin Kowert smiled calmly: "Lin Lei, this is your first time coming to the Beast Mountain Range. If you stay here for a long time, you will know that in the Beast Mountain Range, apart from responding to the attack of beasts, you also need to guard against attacks from other humans."

  "Humans attack, why do they attack?" Lin Lei felt a surge of anger in his heart.

  In the midst of the Monster Mountains, endless monsters have taken over. Unexpectedly, humans in the Monster Mountains not only failed to unite but instead turned on each other and started killing one another.

  "This is normal, what do humans enter the Magic Beast Mountains for? The vast majority are to obtain magic crystal nuclei. Killing a magic beast can only get one magic crystal nucleus, and if you kill a person, there may be several or even more magic crystal nuclei in this person's package." Deling Kowert stroked his white beard.

  Lin Lei understood in his heart.

  Greed!

  It's all because of greed, some people in the Magic Beast Mountain Range want to get more magic crystal nuclei more easily, and killing others in the Magic Beast Mountain Range is indeed a quick way.

  "Lin Lei, you must be careful. From my observation, the murderer who killed these five people is extremely powerful. Look at the clothes on the bodies of these five people, four of them are warriors and one is a magician. These five people were all killed by having their hearts pierced, the method was so swift and ruthless that it's chilling. It's just unknown what the actual strength of these five people was, making it difficult to infer the true strength of the murderer." Delin Kavo said with a frown, "However, since these five people dared to come to the Magic Beast Mountain Range, they absolutely wouldn't be weaklings. From this, we can judge that the strength of that murderer is at least not weaker than yours."

  Lin Lei took two steps forward and looked carefully, nodding in agreement.

  The means of murder was too slick.

  "For now, you're still on the outskirts of the Dragon's Spine. You'd best press on." Drelincor Vex said with a smile.

  Lin Lei nodded and continued on his way, as he ventured deeper into the Demon Beast Mountain Range, he frequently saw the remains of demons and humans along the road, and also discovered many rusty weapons, Lin Lei also encountered several low-level demon beasts.

  It was getting dark, so Lin Lei and Xiao Ying Shu each ate a wild boar's trotter and prepared to rest. Lin Lei sat on the ground, while Xiao Ying Shu curled up beside him.

  "In the Dragon's Spine Mountains, no fires are allowed at night." Derrin Kordover cautioned once more.

  "Got it, Grandpa Deling." Lin Lei knew that in the mountains where magical beasts lived, they were not ordinary wild animals and were not afraid of ordinary flames.

  Sitting on the ground, Lin Lei's heart was calm and peaceful as he slowly closed his eyes. At the same time, he began to feel the flow of earth elements within the earth and the flow of wind elements around him. The feeling was like returning to his parents' arms.

  The affinity of earth and wind elements is superior, which also makes Lin Lei's perception clearer.

  "The pulse of the earth, the rhythm of the wind." Lin Lei's face had a serene smile, and his entire body began to enter a state of sleep. In this state, Lin Lei was extremely confident that if there were any vibrations on the ground nearby or any rapid movements causing wind disturbances, he would be aware of them and wake up with a start.

  This is the true power of Earth and Wind mages.

  As the night deepened, a small shadow mouse 'Bibi' curled up beside Lin Lei also let out an extremely faint snore. The nighttime wind had also died down, but in the summer, the Magic Beast Mountain Range would only make people feel cool until late at night, and during the day it would only make people feel hot and humid.

  Deep in the night, pitch black.

  A faint rustling sound of limbs brushing against weeds arose.

  Two robust wind wolves with a coat of bright green fur are walking quietly in the mountains, one after the other. Their green eyes are vigilantly watching their surroundings, while their strong limbs move silently along the path.

  Those pale fangs reflected a faint cold light in the darkness of night.
