After the butler left, Lin Suxin began to prepare the items for the trip to Magical Beast Forest.

The Golden Hound was not easy to deal with. Moreover, Senior had gave ‘special’ instruction to her to before she returned home. There might be other unforeseen situation in this mission, so she had to be careful.

In the afternoon, Lin Suxin brought the painting scroll and magic staff and followed her friends to the Magical Beast Forest.

It was not far from the South City to the Magical Beast Forest. They could arrive in three hours.

Of course, they would reach the outermost part of the Magical Beast Forest in three hours. Most of the magical beasts here were not ranked. Ordinary people with weapons could deal with them. Only after they had gone five kilometers deep would there be ranked magical beasts. It was not something that ordinary people could deal with.

It was said that there was a beast god sleeping in the deepest part of the forest. The Mage Alliance did not dare to go too deep in the forest. They prefer to maintain the balance between the two sides.

The level 5 Golden Hound that Lin Suxin wanted to kill were in the deeper part of the forest. However, she and her friends were intermediate mages. It would not be a problem for them to work together to kill the Golden Hound.

“Suxin, we are only going to kill a level 5 Golden Hound this time. You even brought out a one-time magic scroll. This is too exaggerated.”

“You don’t trust our strength. I’ll let you see what I got.”

“That’s right. I’ve already mastered the multiple fireball spell that I learned last time. Even my mentor praised me.”

Lin Suxin listened to the complaints of her three friends and felt a little helpless.

She wanted to explain, but she didn’t dare to expose what Senior Ye had once told her. Senior Ye lived in seclusion in the busy city. Without his permission, she didn’t dare to casually say anything outside. If she offended him, it would be terrible.

Seeing that Lin Suxin was silent, the other three girls holding magic staffs didn’t ask any more questions, and they silently walked into the depths of the forest.

A level 5 Golden Hound wasn’t difficult to deal with, but there were other stronger magical beasts in the Magical Beast Forest.

…

In the deep of Magical Beast Forest, there was a clear hierarchy among magical beasts.

Certain level of magical beasts lived in certain region, there was a clear division. Usually, no low-level magical beasts would enter the territory of high-level magical beasts. This was a rule that all the magical beasts in the forest consciously followed. At the same time, high-level magical beasts would not enter the territory of low-level magical beasts to kill wantonly.

But at this time, this unspoken rule was broken.

A level 5 Golden Hound, led by a level 7 Two-headed Wind Wolf, went deep into the level 7 territory that the Golden Hound had never been to before.

In the shadows that the sunlight could not reach, an extremely deep shadow slowly twisted and stood up, gradually turning into a tall and thin human figure. He stepped out of the shadow and turned into a man wearing a dark cloak.

The dark cloak covered his entire body, only revealing his chin that was engraved with magic patterns. The man’s entire body was emitting a faint aura of death, which did not fit in with the Magical Beast Forest. However, the strange thing was that the surrounding magical beasts did not have the intention to attack the man.

The forest seemed to feel his ominous arrival, and the surrounding vegetation drooped down its branches and leaves.

Seeing the Two-headed Wind Wolf and the Golden Hound arrive, the man revealed a trace of a smile and slightly bowed towards the depths of the Magical Beast Forest. He said in a low voice, “Very good, we have completed a part of our transaction. Respected King of Magical Beasts, please allow me to make some minor modifications to this Golden Hound.”

A voice came from the depths of the forest, “Yes, magical beasts below level 7 will be under your command today.”

The Two-headed Wind Wolf and the Golden Hound lay on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

After obtaining permission, the man took out a bottle of dark red medicine and poured it into the Golden Hound’s mouth. At the same time, he said, “The students of the various academies have already accepted the mission to hunt you down. I’ll disguise you as the Golden Hound king. You go out and take a walk, attracting more students to come in. Without my order, you can’t kill those students.”

“This time, with the South City as the target, I want to see how many archmagisters have yet to ascend to the divine realm.”

The Golden Hound nodded slightly, indicating that it understood.

The intelligence of a level 5 magical beast was not low, so it could understand.

The man let the Golden Hound go and arranged for the Two-headed Wind Wolf to protect it in the dark. If they did not attract enough students, the Mage Alliance would not send out rescue personnel.

Only when the Mage Alliance sensed a crisis would they send out rescue personnel. If there was a greater crisis, the rescue personnel would report to the higher-ups, and there would be a time difference. Most mages would not be able to help in time, so they could only send out the archmagisters.

However, the ascension passage between the Divine Realm and the human world shook some time ago. How many archmagisters would be left?

If the archmagisters did not come to rescue, they could kill the students and rescue personnel.

At the same time, they would clean up the South City and prepare for the next operation.

The man thought very clearly and made two preparations. Either he found out who had ascended, or he would wash the South City with blood. No matter what the situation was, there would be gains.

Moreover, they had paid a huge price this time to invite the King of the Magical Beast Forest to organize the next operation. The Mage Alliance had to consider the possibility of an invasion of the Magical Beast Forest.

Thinking of the benefits no matter how the situation, the man grinned and disappeared into the darkness.

…

The Golden Hound was a level 5 magical beast, while the hound king was a level 6 magical beast. However, the attack power of the hound king did not increase much. What it increased was its life-saving ability. At the same time, if the hound king was killed, the bloodline that could be extracted. Its bloodline was three times more effective than a level 5 Golden Hound.

After the Golden Hound disguised as the Golden Hound king and defeated a group of students, the news immediately spread throughout the entire Magical Beast Forest.

Not only were the students involved, the bounty hunters and warriors outside also joined in.

Not only was the Golden Hound king’s entire body a treasure, but it was also a rare level 6 magical beast. Its level 5 combat strength was usually priced at 700,000 gold coins. Because of its combat strength, the area where the Golden Hound king appeared was within the range of level 5 magical beasts. The risk of hunting it down was greatly reduced.

Lin Suxin and her three friends also heard the news on the way and were somewhat shocked.

“How could there be a Golden Hound king? Could it be fake news?”

“No, this news has already been sent back to the Academy and more students are preparing to come. Who would dare to use tricks to deceive so many mages? Are they courting death?”

“That’s true, but it’s still too strange for two Golden Hounds to appear.”

Lin Suxin thought for a moment and said, “Maybe that Golden Hound had leveled up.”

“No matter what, let’s go in and take a look.”

She was a little excited. Senior Ye had given her a treasure that had comprehended the law of time, but she could only use a level 5 Golden Hound to return his flavor. Although Senior Ye didn’t care, she felt a little uneasy. If she could give him a level 6 Golden Hound king, that would be great.

In that case, the pressure in her heart wouldn’t be too great.

Lin Suxin and the others sped up and rushed to the area where the level 5 magical beasts were.

At the same time, not only in the South City, but the mages from the neighboring Su City and the two nearest cities set out to enter the Magical beast Forest.

Although the Mage Alliance noticed this phenomenon, they did not pay much attention to it.

Under normal circumstances, as long as it was not a mage who was a magister or above that entered the forest, the king of the magical beasts in the depths would not interfere, so there was no need to worry.

After a long period, humans and magical beasts restrained each other. There had not been a large-scale conflict for hundreds of years..
