Chapter 6, Advanced

"Sir, please try our rum brewed from collected violet flowers, yellow grass, and morning dew." After serving a glass of light green rum to Yang Ling, the long-haired beauty Sophia gracefully walked away, sitting down beside the elder elf, leaving Yang Ling with a faint, lingering fragrance

"Elder, you can just call me Yang Ling from now on." Yang Ling took a sip of the light green rum, which was refreshing, as if it contained a piece of pure natural mint. "Indeed, my hometown is far away. I heard a commotion nearby just now and hurried over."

Over the decades, there have been numerous conflicts between mercenaries who considered themselves highly skilled and the Anka family. However, no mercenary has ever gained the slightest advantage; almost all those who dared to stand out have met with a grim fate, without exception over the years

Yang Ling savored the refreshing rum while discreetly surveying the surrounding environment. In this unfamiliar place, establishing good relations with the local forest spirits might yield unexpected benefits.

Venomous Ability

"Yang Ling, are these all the magical beasts you summoned?" After a moment of hesitation, observing the densely packed horned bee beasts around Yang Ling, the elven elder gritted his teeth and took out a small clay bottle from his pocket. "This is the remaining life spring water from our tribe this year, which can promote the evolution of magical beasts. With so many horned bee beasts, even if only a portion successfully evolves to the second tier, your strength will be truly remarkable"

After turning the tide, Yang Ling received a warm welcome from the spirits and was escorted to a verdant wooden cabin to sit down. The floor of the cabin was level, appearing similar to white Han marble, adorned with natural patterns; however, stepping on it produced no sound at all, as if one were treading on soft, sound-absorbing wooden planks

The town is not large, with only over 20,000 residents, but due to its proximity to the resource-rich Weisen Town, the number of mercenaries, adventurers, and merchants temporarily staying can often reach as high as 4,000 to 5,000.

Ancient Summoner? The Elder Elf stared excitedly at Yang Ling, "To collect over a hundred summoned beasts in one go, not to mention an ordinary summoner, even a great summoner does not possess such capability"

For the safety of his kin, the elven elder took out his most treasured possessions. At the same time, he could not comprehend how Yang Ling was able to summon so many Horned Bee Beasts. Typically, a summoner can only call forth one or two magical beasts, yet Yang Ling managed to summon a dense swarm all at once

This continent is strange and mysterious, where a single fireball spell can reduce a dozen horned bee beasts to ashes. If the opponent deploys more and more powerful mages, it is possible that one might not be able to handle the situation in an instant

The elder of the spirits is constantly active, according to ancient records, the ancient summoners possessed immense spiritual power, capable of summoning numerous magical beasts for battle. As an ancient summoner, although Yang Ling currently only has a low-level magical beast like the horned bee beast, the vast number of summoned creatures speaks volumes; his potential is unimaginable

Soon, Yang Ling discovered that the evolved Horned Bee Beast had gained an additional ability—poisonous stinger attack. Within a day, a Horned Bee Beast that had advanced to the second tier could shoot out three highly toxic tail stingers, as fast as lightning. Those struck would experience mild symptoms of numbness, while severe cases could lead to immediate unconsciousness, making it extremely formidable

In the face of the Anka family's tempestuous revenge, it is best to evacuate as early as possible. However, with winter approaching, it is too late to relocate the entire family. For the time being, perhaps the best course of action is to find a way to keep this mysterious summoner here.

Please come this way, sir/madam

It is rumored that the Anka family is a group of ruthless pirates who would devour their victims without leaving a trace. Vison Town is merely a small foothold for them. Often, people can see numerous unidentified warriors entering and exiting their castle, all of whom are, without exception, cold-blooded killers.

Seeing the Elf Elder's solemn demeanor, Yang Ling understood that this was a rare treasure and accepted it without hesitation, saying, "I am not a summoner; these Hornet Beasts have been with me since I was young"

After a moment of contemplation, the elder of the elves felt a stir in his heart and sincerely said: "Warrior Yang Ling, may I ask if it would be convenient for you to stay with our tribe for a while?"

The elder of the elves spoke in a low tone, recalling the immense power of the Anka family, and could not help but feel deeply concerned. This place is far from other elven tribes, lacking druid warriors, elite hunters, and even the powerful fairy dragons and two-headed chimeras, among other high-level forces

I am very sorry, but I have made plans to meet a friend in a few days. This... although it is quite appealing, Yang Ling still pretended to hesitate, saying, "Moreover, my hornet beast is still very weak. If the opponent launches a large-scale counterattack, I am afraid it won't be of much help either"

After understanding the meaning of the Elder Spirit, Yang Ling decided to adopt a strategy of retreating to advance, aiming to secure the greatest possible return. However, it must be said that if Yimia were to return with a large group of warriors and mages for revenge, it would pose considerable trouble.

In Weisen Town, the Anka family is the most powerful force, possessing numerous family warriors who kill without hesitation. It is rumored that there are also many great swordsmen and powerful wizards among them, showcasing formidable strength. They sustain themselves by exploiting the townspeople, squeezing merchants, and engaging in the slave trade, earning a notorious reputation.

Looking at the excited elder of the elves, Yang Ling smiled faintly, neither admitting nor denying. To be honest, saying that he came from another planet might lead the elder to think he was a madman talking nonsense. Since the elder was so willingly convinced that he was some ancient summoner, it was better to let him be mistaken; perhaps by a stroke of luck, he might gain some unexpected benefits.

Meanwhile, Yang Ling felt a warmth at the tower-shaped mark on his forehead, as a current of warm energy slowly circulated within him along a mysterious path, and his shamanic power grew increasingly abundant

After sitting cross-legged on the ground, Yang Ling selected the most ferocious one hundred horned bee beasts, giving each one a drop of precious life spring water, while swallowing the rest himself. Soon, the little creatures grew rapidly to the size of a fist, mysterious runes reappearing on their bodies, and then they quickly vanished from sight

No, the nightmare has only just begun. The young man who escaped was born into the infamous Anka family of Wisen Town. After this significant loss, he will likely return with a large number of warriors for revenge soon

Listening to the accent of the speaker, it seems that they are not a local person

Under the explanation of the Elder Elf, Yang Ling understood the general situation. It turned out that the vast land beneath his feet, the Tyron Continent, was boundless, and the Tlas Forest stretched for thousands of miles, being the largest primeval forest on the Tyron Continent

With the ancient summoner Yang Ling assisting, the elders believe that even if Yimia brings a large number of griffin warriors to attack again, they will be able to navigate through the crisis with minimal danger.

The human slave-catching teams have become increasingly rampant, especially the thugs that arrived today! The elder of the elves wore a grave expression, tightly gripping the dark staff in his hand, "Fortunately, Yang Ling, you arrived in time to lend your strong support; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable"

Slowly, not to mention the ordinary townsfolk, even mercenaries and adventurers from all directions must act according to the wishes of the Anka family. Even some small tribes of different races living in the Tlas Forest are occasionally harassed by these human traffickers

"It is but a small effort; the elder need not be polite." Yang Ling pondered for a moment and said with relief, "The other party has suffered significant losses; they are unlikely to have the courage to come and disturb us again. Your days ahead should be much better!"

After briefly explaining the situation to Yangling, the Elder of the Elves let out a heavy sigh, filled with concern. According to rumors over the years, once targeted by the powerful Anka family, the situation is undoubtedly grim.

Due to its abundant resources, the Tress Forest has attracted many people for logging and hunting. Gradually, a small town named Wisen has spontaneously formed near an ancient castle on the outskirts of the forest

After calming his mind and focusing his energy, Yang Ling instinctively formed a hand seal. Immediately, one hundred advanced Horned Bee Beasts appeared before everyone, displaying their claws and fangs, exuding a fierce killing intent. It seemed that after spending some time in the mysterious Witch Tower, they had grown even larger.

Oh, so that's how it is! Seeing that Yang Ling seems unwilling to say more, the Elder of the Spirits no longer presses for details and informs him on how to use the rare Fountain of Life.
