"This way, sir!"
After turning defeat into victory, Yang Ling received a warm welcome from the elves and was invited to sit down in a lush wooden house. The floor of the wooden house was flat and looked similar to Han white jade marble, covered with natural textures, but when stepped on, there was no sound at all, as if stepping on soft and absorbent wooden boards.
"Sir, please try our rum made from the extract of purple orchids, yellow gentian and morning dew." After handing Yang Ling a pale green cup of rum, the long-haired beauty Sophia slowly walked away, sat down beside the elder sprite, leaving behind a faint fragrance.
"Judging from your accent, you don't seem to be a local?"
"From now on, just call me Yang Ling." Yang Ling took a sip of the pale green rum, feeling refreshed and as if he had sucked on a piece of natural mint. "That's right, my hometown is very far away. I was passing by from a nearby road earlier and heard a commotion, so I rushed over."
Yang Ling savored the cool rum while discreetly scanning his surroundings. In unfamiliar territory, making friends with these native forest spirits might bring unexpected benefits.
"The human slave-catching party has become more and more outrageous, especially those thugs who came today!" The elder of the spirits had a solemn expression, tightly grasping the black staff in his hand. "Fortunately, you arrived just in time, Yang Ling, to lend your powerful assistance. Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable!"
"It's just a small effort, no need to be polite, elder." Yang Ling hesitated for a moment and said with relief: "The other side suffered heavy losses, I'm afraid they won't dare to come and harass you again. Your days should be much better from now on!"
"No, the nightmare has just begun. The young man who escaped was born into the infamous Anka family of Visen Town, and after this heavy loss, he will probably return soon with a large number of warriors to take revenge!"
The elder sprite's voice was low and solemn, thinking of the vast power of the Anka family, couldn't help but feel worried. This place is far away from other sprite tribes, no druid warriors, no elite hunters, nor powerful fairy dragons and double-headed chimera and other high-level powers.
Facing the Anka family's revenge, it's best to leave early, but unfortunately winter is approaching and it's too late for the whole clan to move. For now, perhaps the best plan is to find a way to keep this mysterious summoner here.
Under the explanation of the Elf Elder, Yang Ling understood the general situation. It turned out that under his feet, this vast land of Tairon was boundless, and the Tras Forest stretched for thousands of miles, which was the largest primitive forest in the Tairon continent.
Due to the abundance of resources, Trassen Forest attracted many humans to come and log and hunt. Gradually, near an ancient castle on the outskirts of the forest, a small town called Visen spontaneously formed.
The town is not large, with only over 20,000 residents, but due to its proximity to the resource-rich Weisen Town, there are often as many as 4,500 mercenaries, adventurers and merchants who stay for a short time.
In Weissen Town, the Anka family is the largest force, with many ruthless family warriors who can kill without blinking. It is said that there are also many great swordsmen and great mages, with strong strength. They make a living by exploiting townspeople, oppressing merchants, and selling slaves, with a notorious reputation far and wide.
For decades, there have been numerous conflicts between mercenaries who held themselves to be highly skilled and the Anka family. However, no mercenary has ever gained any advantage, and almost all of them have ended up with their heads separated from their bodies, without a single exception over the years.
Rumor has it that the Anka family is a gang of pirates who devour people without spitting out bones, and Weisen Town is just one of their small footholds. Often, people can see many mysterious warriors coming in and out of their castle, all of whom are ruthless characters who kill without blinking an eye.
Slowly but surely, not only ordinary townspeople, but also mercenaries and adventurers from all over the world had to look at the face of the Anka family to act. Even some alien tribes living in the Tras Forest were occasionally harassed by these human traffickers.
After telling Yang Ling about the general situation, the elder of the spiritual clan sighed heavily and worried. According to rumors over the years, after being targeted by the powerful Anka family, the situation is absolutely not optimistic.
After a moment of contemplation, the elder sprite's heart stirred, and he said sincerely: "Yang Ling, brave warrior, would you mind staying in our tribe for a while?"
"I'm really sorry, I promised a friend to meet up in a few days... " Although it was exactly what he wanted, Yang Ling still pretended to hesitate, "Besides, my horned beast is still very weak. If the other side launches a large-scale counterattack, I'm afraid it won't be of much help!"
After understanding the meaning of the wise elder, Yang Ling decided to retreat and gain the greatest reward. However, if Emiya leads a large group of warriors and magicians back for revenge, there will be no small trouble.
This continent is strange and mysterious, a fireball technique can burn more than a dozen Angle Beasts to ashes, if the opponent sends out more powerful magicians, it's uncertain whether they can take them down in one go.
"Yang Ling, are these all the demonic beasts you've summoned?" After a moment of hesitation, looking at the dense cluster of hornet beasts around Yang Ling, the elder of the spiritual clan gritted his teeth and pulled out a small earthenware bottle from his bosom. "This is the remaining Life Spring Water of our tribe this year, which can promote the evolution of demonic beasts. With so many hornet beasts, even if only a part of them successfully evolve to the second stage, your strength will be astonishing!"
For the safety of his tribe, the elder took out the treasure he had been hiding. At the same time, he couldn't figure out how Yang Ling could summon so many horned beasts. Summoners can usually only summon one or two magical beasts, but Yang Ling was able to summon a whole swarm of them.
Seeing the serious expression of the Elf Elder, Yang Ling understood that this was a rare treasure and took it without hesitation. "I'm not a Summoner, these Horned Beast have been with me since I was young."
"Oh, I see!" Since Yang Ling seemed unwilling to say more, the Elf Elder didn't ask further and instead told him how to use the rare Life Spring water.
After sitting cross-legged on the ground, Yang Ling selected the most ferocious hundred Anglewings, each with a precious drop of Life Spring Water, and swallowed the rest himself. Soon, the little guys quickly grew to the size of a fist, with mysterious symbols reappearing on their bodies, before rapidly disappearing from sight.
At the same time, Yang Ling felt a scorching sensation at the brow point of the tower-shaped mark, and a warm current slowly circulated along the mysterious trajectory in his body, with the witch's power becoming more and more abundant.
"An Ancient Summoner?" The Elf Elder stared at Yang Ling excitedly, "To be able to summon and put away over a hundred magical beasts in one go, not even an ordinary summoner, nor even a Great Summoner has this ability."
The elder sprite was excited, according to ancient records, the spiritual power of the ancient summoner was extremely vast and could summon a large number of magic beasts for battle. As an ancient summoner, Yang Ling now has only the low-level magic beast, the hornet beast, but the vast number of summons he can make explains everything, his potential is unimaginable.
With the help of Yang Ling, this ancient summoner, the elder believes that even if Ymir leads a large number of Griffin warriors to return, they can still pass through the difficulties safely.
Looking at the excited elder spirit, Yang Ling smiled faintly, neither admitting nor denying. To be honest, if he said that he came from another planet, it was possible that the elder would think he was a madman speaking nonsense. Since the elder had already assumed that he was some kind of ancient summoner, then let him continue to misunderstand, maybe they could even gain some unexpected benefits.
After calming his mind and focusing his energy, Yang Ling's thoughts stirred, and subconsciously, he formed a hand seal. Instantly, the hundred Horned Beast that had advanced appeared in front of everyone. Baring their teeth and brandishing their claws, they exuded an aura of slaughter, as if having stayed in the mysterious Witch Tower for a while, they had grown even more powerful.
Venomous Stinger?
Soon, Yang Ling discovered that the upgraded Angle Beast had an additional ability - venomous stinger attack. Within a day of upgrading to the second stage, the Angle Beast could shoot out three highly toxic tail stingers as fast as lightning. Those who were hit would feel numb all over their body if lightly injured, and would immediately fall unconscious if severely injured, which was extremely deadly.
