After riding the Unicorn for half the day, the sky was turning darker and there were still no traces of Sofia. Yang Ling could not help but feel more nervous. With Sofia’s physical weakness, there was no way that she could have gone far. Could some wild beast have…

“Sofia, Sofia…” Anxious, Yang Ling called out loudly as he circled the forest on his Unicorn, fast as the wind. But other than the roars of reply from other wild beasts, he could not find any traces of Sofia. Instead, he attracted a few curious Arrow Pigs.

“D*mn it, you’re asking for death!”

Seeing the Arrow Pigs brazenly blocking his path, Yang Ling was furious. He lifted his hands and threw out several Palm Lighting Wizard Amulets, blasting the few hungry Arrow Pigs into mush.

Even though he had easily dealt with the Arrow Pigs blocking his way, Yang Ling still summoned all of his Horned Bee Beasts to protect him as a form of precaution. Even though most Magical Beasts would avoid him after they sensed the powerful aura of the Unicorn, it was better to be more careful.

Wait, are those… deerskin shoes?

Yang Ling suddenly noticed a petite pair of deerskin shoes hidden underneath some lush shrubbery. He would never have noticed the shoes if not for the pink ribbon tied to them. Picking them up and taking a sniff, the shoes indeed carried a faint touch of Sofia’s unique fragrance. They also retained a little body heat, as if they had just been on her feet not long ago.

That silly girl must have left this place not long ago!

After carefully observing the tracks on the ground, Yang Ling quickly rode the Unicorn toward the northeast. Despite the stars in the sky and the bright moon, the forest was pitch black due to the cover of the trees. Luckily, Yang Ling’s vision had improved greatly after he had advanced to the level of Spirit Wizard, and he was riding on the Unicorn. An average person would have difficulty even walking around the many thorny bushes in the forest, much less tracking down someone else.

Following the set of tracks on the ground and a few broken branches, Yang Ling chased after Sofia. He believed that Sofia could not have made too much progress under these conditions. Indeed, not long after, he detected a faint fragrance in the air, identical to the faint smell of Sofia’s body.

After advancing to the level of Spirit Wizard, not only had Yang Ling’s Wizard Power and vision improved greatly, his sense of smell had improved drastically as well. In the past, the most he could do was differentiate between the scents of red and white wines, but now, he could discern the year of production of the wine with a mere sniff.

After journeying forward a little more, the fragrance Sofia left behind became even more pronounced, but at the same time, there was the metallic stench of blood in the air. The metallic stench of blood became thicker the further Yang Ling walked forward.

Could Sofia have…?

In his shock, Yang Ling dug into the Unicorn’s belly and charged forward without hesitation. With Sofia’s weak physical abilities, the outcome would be disastrous if she encountered a hungry Magical Beast.

Roar!

Just as Yang Ling was fearful for Sofia’s safety, waves of wolf howls came from the area in front of him. Quickly rushing over to take a look, Yang Ling could not help but gasp. All he saw were several hundred hungry Wind Wolves surrounding and attacking a small mountain, roaring as they pounced forward.

There were only three figures on the small mountain. One of them was prancing around on a muscular horse, while the other two seemed to be muttering something with staffs in their hands, continuously releasing various magical spells. With their cooperation, the Wind Wolves were unable to charge up the mountain for the time being.

“Sofia, Sofia…” Seeing Sofia’s familiar figure on the mountain, Yang Ling heaved a sigh of relief, charging forward as he shouted.

While charging forward, Yang Ling commanded the Unicorn and Horned Bee Beasts to attack. At the same time, he tossed out various Wizard Amulets like they were free. He opened a path of blood within the wolf horde as if he was riding a tank, successfully meeting up with Sofia atop the small mountain.

“Yang Ling…” Seeing Yang Ling suddenly appear, the fatigued Sofia ran toward him without hesitation, tightly hugging Yang Ling who had jumped off the Unicorn.

After fighting off a wave of attacks from the wolf horde with much effort, the knight wielding a long spear said angrily, “Hmph, even if you two want to show your affection for each other in public, do it after we fight off this horde of wolves!”

Hearing the Knight of the Divine Palace tease her, Sofia’s face turned red in shame. Yang Ling let out a low grunt and quickly summoned his Magical Beast army. The Evil Eyes were the main attackers, while the Withered Tree Warriors and Horned Bee Beasts were responsible for defense. The Unicorn provided a constant threat. The massive Magical Beast army overcrowded the small mountain.

Seeing the sudden appearance of a large group of Magical Beasts on the small mountain, the Wind Wolves could not react in time, unable to understand what was going on. After freezing for a moment, they only came to their senses with the howls of the leader of the pack. They manically charged forward, but it was too late. After a wave of blinding light, the Evil Eyes’ concentrated barrage of light rained onto them, instantly obliterating the leading wolves.

Ever since the strange incident in the forest, even though the Evil Eyes had not evolved, their light bullets had increased in speed and become more accurate. The magical energy in their bodies had also become richer. In the past, they could release about twenty light bullets a day, but now they could fire fifty rounds, their offensive capabilities once again receiving an upgrade.

The Wind Wolves were scary because of their lightning-fast speed, sharp teeth, and wind daggers. But against the Evil Eyes who were out of their attack range, there was no way for them to use their special abilities at all. They had no other ideas other than to charge forward maniacally. But facing Yang Ling’s Magical Beast army, it was hard for them to move even ten steps forward.

Under Yang Ling’s command, the Evil Eyes only had to attack the Wind Wolves who were some distance away. Those charging forward would be dealt with by the Horned Bee Beasts and Withered Tree Warriors.

After developing their angled wings, the two thousand Horned Bee Beasts were akin to high-speed fighter jets flying around in the air. They would either shoot out poisonous stingers that were hard to defend against or pounce forward to tear into the Wind Wolves charging toward them.

The Wind Wolves had thick and sturdy skin. An ordinary wild beast would not be able to inflict fatal damage on them with one attack. But against the fierce attacks of the evolved Evil Eyes and Horned Bee Beasts, the thick hides that the Wind Wolves prided themselves on were as weak as thin pieces of paper.
