Chapter 885 - A Flight of Humerus Wyrms (1/2)
The Mithril Alliance consisted of five major families, so their expedition team was a bit larger in size compared to the other three factions. However, due to the fact that they didn’t possess any Life Potions to heal their wounded fast, their fighting strength was now less than half compared to their full strength. Thus, the two consecutive battles caused the greatest harm to them out of the four factions. Now, they were almost equal to the other factions in terms of numbers, but couldn’t match them in terms of power.
Claus could totally imagine how it would’ve looked like for the Caesar Family if he hadn’t gotten the Life Potions from Lin Li. The damage from the battle just now would have been so immense that his faction would be forced to quit this expedition.
No matter what, the expedition would still continue forward. Although they had encountered two consecutive battles, signifying the dangers lying in this valley, no one could resist the temptation of the immense benefits this mausoleum could possibly bring.
Strangely, the team didn’t encounter any obstacles along the way after that, but no one knew whether this stillness was a good thing or not. The team’s anxiety was finally relieved a little after they had seen the mausoleum appearing in the Warlock’s Eyes.
Seeing that the team was almost reaching the mausoleum, Lin Li didn’t order the team to speed up. Instead, he told everyone to be extra vigilant and slowed down.
Since the Tower of Dusk’s team had slowed down, the teams following them naturally slowed too. Hoffman knew that Lin Li had his reasons for doing this, so he ordered the same for the Glittergold Trade Union’s team without any questions or complaints. However, Joseph and other leaders from the Mithril Alliance were unhappy with this. The target was so close and there wasn’t any danger in sight. Why did the Tower of Dusk slow down now?
Joseph couldn’t help coming to the front and asked Lin Li, “President Felic, why did you suddenly slow down?”
“Patriarch Joseph, don’t you think it’s a little too quiet along the way?” Lin Li didn’t have any intention of inviting Joseph for a conversation.
“What’s wrong with being quiet? We’ve just had two battles, do you want another one—” Before Joseph could finish his sentence, wind gushed through the valley wildly, making him stop in the middle of his sentence. Although this was a valley, it was impossible for such strong wind to exist—it was an underground valley, after all. As such, clearly something was coming.
“You see, some things will happen even if you don’t wish for it to happen.” Lin Li raised his Helios’ Scepter, and pointed it towards the sky not too far from where they were standing.
By then, everyone saw a large flight of Humerus Wyrms in the direction Lin Li was pointing to. These Wyrms were flying towards the team, and there seemed to be hundreds of them. Could they be the Humerus Wyrm Legion mentioned in Caleross’ diary? Everyone thought of the contents in the few pages of Caleross’ diary at that moment.
Seeing that the situation had taken a turn, Joseph didn’t have time to ask Lin Li any more questions. He flew towards his faction’s team instantly to make arrangements for the tough battle to come.
As the most powerful presence out of all Undead creatures, each Humerus Wyrm possessed at least level-20 power. The Skeletal Behemoths and Ghost Behemoths were no match for the Humerus Wyrms. n.o.body knew how long these Humerus Wyrms had been in Prince Brahere’s mausoleum. Thus, their abilities would most likely be more than level-20.
To make matters worse, there was one Humerus Wyrm whose body was evidently larger than the others’. This Humerus Wyrm also released icy-cold aura that seemed to seep into one’s bones. With the presence of this Humerus Wyrm, the temperature in the valley dropped into negative. Every member of the expedition felt as if their soul was going to be frozen too.
Lin Li could clearly feel that the aura this giant Humerus Wyrm released contained not only the unique scent of Undead creatures, but also a blood-freezing coldness.
Caleross had mentioned in the research log that the Humerus Wyrm Legion they created was difficult to control. Thus, a king-level Humerus Wyrm was required to act as the alpha of the legion. It seemed like this Humerus Wyrm with an icy-cold aura was likely to be the head of the Humerus Wyrm Legion Caleross had mentioned.
However, this Humerus Wyrm gave Lin Li the feeling that it wasn’t just a king-level wyrm. After all, Lin Li had seen quite a number of Humerus Wyrms before, including the king-level ones. One of the three Skeletal Lords of the Shadowglen was a king-level Humerus Wyrm, not to mention that his own Humerus Crimson Dragon could also be considered king-level. However, neither of these Humerus Wyrms were on par with the Humerus Wyrm he was seeing now.
Feeling its icy cold aura, Lin Li suddenly thought the few pages of the diary Elvis had shown him during the negotiation with the Mithril Alliance. Didn’t Brahere mention capturing an Iceblast Wyrm?
Thinking about this, Lin Li felt a cold chill running down his spine. If this Humerus Wyrm was really the Iceblast Wyrm Brahere had mentioned, this battle would be more than a tough fight!
“Iceblast Wyrm Sindera! Impossible! How can he be here?”
