Mages, Adventurers, and Women

Under a tree branch thicker than Duron's waist.

A "familiar person" who had been dead for a long time was hanging there.

Why did she hang herself here?

……

……

Chapter 46: The Storage Ring [Please Read Further]

"It's Belle."

Li Weidao.

“Belli?” Julia frowned. “The one who hanged herself was Mrs. Belle, the noblewoman of the Duchy of the Mad Sands who had secretly offered a bounty in the Mad Sands region for severely injuring you?”

"Correct."

Li Wei and his three companions walked to a point about 30 meters away from where Belle had hanged herself.

Belle is a noblewoman from the Duchy of Mad Sands and possesses certain privileges.

Her black robe did not cover her face, revealing her ferocious, boar-like head.

She was half savage and half barbarian, with abnormally prominent cheekbones, making her quite ugly.

The corpse, weighing over 300 pounds, swayed under the tree branches without being broken.

Judging from the state of Belle's boar head, she had been dead for some time.

Strangely, she had her arms crossed over her shoulders, and a "peaceful" smile on her face.

"Another Cult of Immortality?"

"I asked Julia."

Li Wei nodded. Berry's death was a typical example of "embracing death."

He crossed his arms over his shoulders, a relieved smile on his face.

"Li Wei, does that mean we have one less enemy in the Sandstorm Zone?"

"Bone said excitedly."

Duron counted on his fingers:

"There are two enemies left: the level 2 troll adventurer wolf squad and the level 2 earth mage Lori."

Li Wei couldn't describe his feelings at that moment.

He had rehearsed the scene of killing Belle many times.

I never imagined it would turn out like this.

They searched carefully with prying eyes but found no statue of the immortal.

Why Belle chose this place to hang herself remains a mystery.

Li Wei used his spiest eyes to search carefully again, confirming that there were no magic stone tablets or immortal statues, and then led Yulia and the other two to the next location of a magic stone tablet.

Belle is indeed dead. Levi has no need to provoke Belle's corpse, lest he attract the evil immortal statue.

One of his biggest worries was unexpectedly resolved.

……

The second location is a "dog-headed camp" in the central ring of the Navia Mountains.

When Li Wei and his companions arrived, they found more than thirty dog-headed men kneeling facing north, arms crossed over their shoulders, committing suicide with blissful expressions...

There were uniform cuts on his neck from a sharp weapon.

The north side faces Moon Lake.

"Kurich! Kurich!"

After encountering a series of bizarre events related to the "immortal statue," even a burly man like him felt a chill run down his spine.

Julia, forgetting about Levi's previous flirting with her, grabbed Levi's arm and said:

"How did the central ring of the Scandinavian Mountains become like this?"

Duron silently leaned against Bone's right leg, instinctively grabbing the hairs on Bone's calf, as if only then could he feel safe. Bone yelped in pain and kicked Duron away.

"Are you fucking crazy?!"

Duron patted his backside, got up, and whispered:

"I am afraid……"

Seeing Dulong's genuine emotions, the anger that had filled his bones vanished, and he hummed:

"Then be gentle."

Dulong silently ran to the bone's calf, coiling himself around it like an octopus, acting as an accessory.

Li Wei also felt a chill.

These bastards of the Immortal Cult are like the stray dogs of the Sandstorm Zone; they don't follow the right path, they only engage in crooked and evil ways.

He increasingly felt that Baron Della's method of becoming a corrupted undead creature had nothing to do with the magic stone tablet, but rather with finding the statue of the "Cult of the Immortals"...

They obtained the method to become a corrupted undead creature from the Cult of the Immortals.

Or perhaps, beneath the castle, the "Dragon Knight" whose eyes he and Klek gouged out was a missionary of the "Cult of the Immortals."

"Kurich!"

……

The third location.

Li Wei saw the magic stone tablet.

A bright, magical stone tablet was planted in a mound of earth, its exposed six-pointed star gleaming faintly.

He didn't rush to get closer.

There must be monsters or beasts guarding the bright magic stone tablet.

He kept stumbling upon bizarre events involving the Cult of the Immortals.

Li Wei cautiously used his spiest eye to examine the surroundings, confirming that there were no items related to the "Statue of the Immortal".

Li Wei and the other three breathed a sigh of relief.

Duron, in particular, jumped off the bone calf.

Clap your hands and say casually:

"Li Wei, go deconstruct it quickly, we'll wait for you here."

Bones said cheerfully:

"I've really had enough of the Navia Mountains, Levi. Let's deconstruct the magic stone tablet and find a mud snake before heading back to Rolling Stone. This time, I'm going to eat my fill of 'Rock Beef'!"

Rock cattle are a specialty of the Storm Kingdom. Because they are raised year-round in the grasslands of high mountains, their meat is tender and has a rich milky flavor.

It is quite popular in the bars on Rolling Stone’s commercial street.

Rock beef contains abundant blood and flesh energy, making it a great tonic for those engaged in physically demanding professions such as warriors.

I've only eaten the bone once, spending 1 gold coin to buy a tiny piece the size of my palm from Duron, not even enough to fill a tooth gap.

From then on, I kept the memory of rock beef in my heart.

It became the second greatest pleasure after being a dancer.

Upon seeing the bright, magical stone tablet, Yulia muttered:

"I want to soak in a hot spring."

Li Wei didn't rush to act. The absence of monsters and magical beasts around the magic stone tablet made him somewhat uneasy.

Until the Peeping Eyes discovered something amiss in the mound of earth beneath the Magic Stone Tablet.

"I think I've found the mud snake."

Bones, Duron, and Yulia were all taken aback and exclaimed excitedly:

"Seriously?!"

Once Li Wei pinpointed the location of the mud snake, an enormous birdcage-like "fire prison" suddenly appeared above the magic stone tablet, scorching with intense flames both inside and out.

Once it landed, it baked the mound of earth inside the magic stone tablet until it turned to ashes and was completely destroyed.

The entire magic stone tablet was exposed.

A "mud snake" coiled under the mound of earth was exposed.

It has a yellowish-brown body, and its thickest part is thicker than Duron's thigh. Its scales are covered with "skull"-like patterns, and its triangular head is topped with a pair of scarlet eyes.

Mud snakes prefer damp environments.

But no monster or beast would refuse a bright magic stone tablet.

The magic stone tablet constantly releases magic, nourishing the mud snake, which can continuously grow stronger simply by coiling beneath it.

At this moment, it had absolutely no ability to escape.

The Flame Prison is powerful enough to annihilate ordinary magical beasts of levels 1-12; burning it to death is as easy as burning a goblin.

Li Wei maintained the fiery prison, deliberately not burning the mud snake to death, and instructed Julia to shoot its head.

"Be careful not to damage its gallbladder."

Yulia nodded confidently:

"Don't worry, my arrow will hit its left eye precisely and fly out from the back of its head, making a sound quieter than a mosquito flapping its wings..."

"stop!"

Li Wei felt increasingly uneasy as he listened, and he earnestly instructed:

"You just need to hit it in the head, you don't need to be that precise."

Yulia frowned slightly, looking displeased, and said, "You don't believe in the strength of the hunters?"

Seeing Li Wei's suspicious expression, Julia drew her bow and said:

"Alright!"

The arrow fell like a meteor, shooting out with a "whoosh" and striking the mud snake's head precisely. With a loud "boom," the arrow and the mud snake's head exploded into dust...

"..."

Li Wei, Bones, and Duron remained silent.

Silence was the loudest question they uttered.

Yulia retorted, "I didn't expect the mud snake to be so weak."

Li Wei glared at her, and Julia shrank back, weakly saying:

"I'm afraid of snakes... I couldn't control myself..."

Li Wei said angrily:

"When we get back to Rolling Stones, I'll enroll you in a ten-day, ten-night ranger combat course!"

At this moment, Dulong, who had run to inspect the battlefield, dug out the gallbladder of the headless mud snake and excitedly exclaimed:

"Li Wei, the snake gall is still there!"

Yulia's tense expression relaxed, and she laughed silently.

……

Livy's process of deconstructing the Magic Stone went smoothly.

Just like the first time he deconstructed the bright magic stone tablet, after his senses were covered by the magic stone tablet, he grabbed the largest ball of light, closed his eyes and waited for the deconstruction to end.

Open your eyes.

The bright, magical stone tablet turned to dust, which vanished with a gentle breeze.
