Chapter 68: Wind Spirit Fox King

  "I know what's going on, I'll help you solve it," Lin Chen said after taking the five-star mission, his calm tone gave people a very firm feeling, which made the young man first startled, eyes lit up, but soon afterwards, the young man seemed to think of something, and his eyes dimmed again.

  "You and I are not related, you don't have to help me. You've already saved me today, that's enough for me to be happy. Miss Lafi is the youngest daughter of the Imperial Marshal, and the one who wants to take my Steel Dragon Sword is the grandson of the Grandmaster of the Empire's Swordsmen Guild... we are both swordsmen by profession..."

  With a gloomy expression on his face, the young man lowered his head and said that it was clear that Lin Chen and he were not close, and he was happy to help him, but Lin Chen was also a swordsman by profession. This matter mainly benefited the elder son of the Swordsman Association, so the young man did not want to drag Lin Chen down because of his own affairs. For a swordsman, offending the Imperial Swordsman Association represented something, and he understood it very well.

  "It's truly a kind-hearted young man", although he heard that the matter concerned the grandson of the Swordsmen Guild's elder and also had something to do with the Imperial Marshal's daughter, Lin Chen's heart felt somewhat heavy, but at the same time, he couldn't help but admire the kindness of this young man.

  "Don't worry, I've got this under control," Lin Chen said with a wave of his hand, trying to appear nonchalant, and the young man felt reassured.

  Although the Swordsmen Guild's affairs weighed heavily on Lin Chen, he had never thought of relying on the Swordsmen Guild to do anything. For Lin Chen, as long as he could gain power, that was all that mattered; gaining power for himself had nothing to do with the Swordsmen Guild.

  "Are you willing to come with me?" Lin Chen asked the young man, no matter what, he had to go and complete the transfer task first, as for the task, he would have time to deal with it after completing the transfer task.

  "Uh-huh, I'm willing," he hesitated for a moment, looking into Lin Chen's eyes, this young man felt extremely at ease and nodded involuntarily.

  "Well, let's go", seeing the young man agree, Lin Chen smiled and led Ares and the young man into the depths of the forest, without even giving another glance to Lamei and the others.

  "How detestable! Don't think you can just leave!", La Mei shouted anxiously as she saw Lin Chen and the others leaving. However, the level 4 magical beast, Fire Lizard, was not something she could handle on her own. Moreover, the two master-level experts beside her were unwilling to intervene, so in the end, La Mei could only shout in frustration, watching as Lin Chen and the others gradually disappeared into the small forest.

  "Hoo-hoo-hoo……", all the way, Yats was releasing his divine power. No matter if it was a third-level magic beast or even a fourth- or fifth-level one, Yats would directly open his mouth and release a huge fireball to instantly kill them. The young boy following behind him widened his eyes in shock. Being able to instantly kill fourth- or fifth-level magic beasts, he could tell that Yats was extraordinary just by using his toes. Similarly, Lin Chen, who owned such a pet, naturally rose in status in the young boy's heart.

  "By the way, where did you get that great sword in your hand? If I'm not mistaken, it should be an epic-level weapon, right?" Following the map marked with Feng Ling Hu's territory, Lin Chen walked and asked the youth casually while Atres was killing his way through.

  "Big brother really has good eyesight, this steel dragon sword is indeed a legendary-grade weapon." Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the young man's face flashed with a hint of shock, then nodded in agreement.

  "I was originally just an apprentice of the Swordsmen's Guild, and I hadn't even truly grasped the concept of fighting spirit yet. But just a few days ago, while I was practicing sword fighting outside the city, I coincidentally met a heavily injured man who handed me the Steel Dragon Sword before he died, telling me to wield its power in the future. However, unexpectedly, Master Naito discovered that the Steel Dragon Sword is extraordinary, and now he wants to take it away from me..." The young man replied with an indignant expression on his face.

  "Oh, I see," Lin Chen suddenly realized that he didn't know whether to say that the young man was lucky or unlucky. On one hand, he had encountered a powerful warrior on his deathbed and obtained his legacy, which was indeed extremely fortunate. However, because of an epic-level weapon, he had attracted trouble and could be said to be unlucky as well. If it weren't for the Steel Dragon Sword, he wouldn't be hunted down like this now.

  "We're here! Right in front of us is the Wind Spirit Fox King's lair! I can sense an aura inside that rivals a 4th-tier magical beast", just as Lin Chen and the youth were discussing and roughly understanding what had happened, Atreus spoke up, his mouth continuously spewing out fireballs while occasionally throwing group attack fire magic spells, causing the surrounding Wind Spirit Foxes to let out miserable cries.

  In front of the forest, there was a small hill, surrounded by dozens of Fengling Foxes staring at Lin Chen and his party with bared teeth. However, unfortunately for them, Atre's strength was too overwhelming, making it impossible for them to approach for the time being. It could be seen that Atre's magic was still quite formidable against these third-tier magical beasts.

  Looking ahead, there was indeed a cave not far away. Lin Chen took out the Flame Iron Sword in his hand and walked towards the cave under Ates's magical cover.

  "Ahhh！！！", Before Lin Chen could even get close to the cave, a burst of cyan wind suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave. As the swirling cyan wind dissipated, a gigantic fox was revealed, its cyan fur standing nearly one meter tall, roughly the size of a small calf. A layer of cyan wind swirled around its body, and this obviously larger Wind Spirit Fox let out a loud howl towards Lin Chen and his group.

  "Fengling Fox King, Lv27. Description: As the king of the Fengling Fox tribe, it possesses the power to control wind magic." Looking at this massive Fengling Fox King, although it's only level 27, it's a golden BOSS version.

  "The Wind Spirit Foxes next to you are all yours! I'll take this Wind Spirit Fox King!", the Flame Essence Iron Sword in his hand was raised, Lin Chen simultaneously gave himself a bottle of Attack Potion and a bottle of Agility Potion, saying that the Wind Spirit Fox excelled at movement speed, so the Agility Potion was necessary.

  Although I already have the strength of Lv20, plus a perfect set of equipment, it's almost comparable to a Lv30 monster, but the Wind Spirit Fox King is a BOSS-level monster, and it's different from ordinary monsters. After all, the king of a species must have some powerful abilities, otherwise it would be impossible.

  "Whoa!!!", under the effect of the agility potion, Lin Chen quickly rushed towards Feng Ling Hu Wang. The movement speed +3 boots and the agility potion's effect made Lin Chen's speed directly soar to 18 meters per second. This speed was probably not much different from that of Feng Ling Hu Wang.

  "ROAR！！！", Looking at Lin Chen who was charging over, Feng Ling Huo Wang let out a furious roar, his large mouth opened wide, and several curved moon-shaped wind blades appeared, directly slashing towards Lin Chen, four or five sharp blades almost completely sealing off all of Lin Chen's dodging space.

  Lin Chen charged forward, and for the wind blade that was slashing towards him, he almost didn't see it. However, just as the wind blade was about to slash into him, Lin Chen's shadow flickered, leaving behind a residual image that appeared behind Feng Ling Hu Wang, which was precisely the Instant Step skill.
