Chapter 23 Magical Beast Forest

“Every time there’s a magical beast revolt, Skadi doesn’t ignore it. It organizes mages to hunt down the magical beasts that invade Skadi.”

Celia’s eyes darkened at the thought. After this battle, her teacher could no longer use his magic. Skadi’s powers were greatly diminished. When the next wave of magical beasts came, Skadi’s mages might not be able to resist. She hated that she was only a level four mage and not strong enough to protect Skadi.

Celia sighed softly, a frown creasing her brow as her worries returned. But she didn’t stop. She continued to explain to Mo Fan. “Ordinary mages dare not go near the Magical Beast Forest. There’s not a human on the other side of the mountains.

But the Magical Beast Forest is like a treasure trove that many mages flock to. Many mages will go to the Magical Beast Forest together to hunt and kill magical beasts to obtain magic gems and treasures.”

So, there were still many mages who ventured into the Magical Beast Forest. When Mo Fan heard this, he looked at the towering Vindobona Mountains in the distance, surrounded by fog. He was a little taken aback. Isn’t this the same as attacking the Boss in the game?

Mo Fan said, “Didn’t you say that the Magical Beast Forest is very dangerous? During the magical beast tide, the magical beasts cause a riot. To ordinary mages, going into the forest is no different from courting death!”

Celia nodded. “Magical beasts riot. It’s dangerous, but some high-level beasts come out from the depths of the forest. Usually, these high-level beasts are deep in the forest.

If they want to hunt high-level magical beasts, they have to take advantage of the magical beast tide.”

This time, Mo Fan nodded in agreement. In the game, the treasures dropped by the Big Boss would be of a higher level than those dropped by an ordinary Boss. It seemed that hunting magical beasts in this world was the same. The higher the level of the magical beast, the higher the value of the treasures and magic gems they could obtain. This was why mages were willing to take risks.

“The mages in the eastern part of the Azure Continent have a Guild of Mages. The mages will unite through the Guild of Mages and form a group to hunt magical beasts together.”

Mo Fan gasped inwardly. Isn’t this like a gaming guild in the game? In the game, if you wanted to level up and obtain treasures, you had to do missions and fight the Boss. But it was impossible for low-level players to defeat a high-level Boss alone. They had to team up with other players and besiege the Boss to win. After all, there was strength in numbers.

“Some magical beasts are worth a lot of money. For example, there’s a magical beast called the Icefield Demon Wolf in the high mountain ice plains of the Magical Beast Forest near the Ventobona Mountains. Their magic cores have a good chance of creating magic gems.”

Celia looked wistful. She might be a princess of a kingdom, the heir to the throne, and there were few things she couldn’t get her hands on. But she was also a mage, albeit a low-level one. She hoped that one day she would be able to hunt magical beasts with her magic. She was fired up at such a thought.

When Mo Fan heard the words ‘Icefield Demon Wolf’, his eyes lit up. He smiled and sighed. “Icefield Demon Wolf!”

There were also Icefield Demon Wolves in the game. He had previously unlocked the wind magic in the game and used it on the Icefield Demon Wolves for the first time. These guys were extremely fast and moved in groups. Ordinary players couldn’t even catch up, let alone defeat these Icefield Demon Wolves.

Back then, Mo Fan had relied on his own strength to slaughter a group of Icefield Demon Wolves and upgrade to the highest forbidden spell of wind magic-Wings of the Wind. He had become famous in the game. It was at that time that the title of Archmage was gradually conferred on him by the players.

Celia heard Mo Fan sigh and asked curiously, “Does the Archmage know about it too?” Could there be Icefield Demon Wolves in the Archmage’s world?

Mo Fan nodded and said indifferently, “Back then, I practiced wind magic and hunted a group of Icefield Demon Wolves. Later, I used the fur of these Icefield Demon Wolves to make a crystal armor.” That armor was originally a casual creation, but it seemed to have been given to a girl.

Celia gasped at Mo Fan’s nonchalance. She was obviously shocked by what he had said. The Icefield Demon Wolf! This was a level six demon beast. She was only a level four mage. If she faced an Icefield Demon Wolf alone, she would not be able to escape its claws without the protection of a magical holy artifact. But this mage had actually hunted a group of Icefield Demon Wolves alone.

She thought about how the Archmage had been able to destroy the entire allied army of Light and kill four Great Archmages by himself. What was a mere level six magical beast? The princess’s knights were responsible for Celia’s safety. Their mounts were not far from the princess, and their hearing was good. They naturally heard Mo Fan’s calm words.

The expressions of the knights mirrored those of the princess. Their expressions slowly returned to normal from the initial shock. Compared to what Mo Fan had done during the defense of the fortress of Irwin, the destruction of the Icefield Demon Wolf pack was clearly a small matter. But to the mages of this world, even a level six mage would have no choice but to flee for his life when he was up against a level six Icefield Demon Wolf.

Mo Fan’s eyes moved. When he had the chance, he would definitely make a trip to the High Mountain Icefield that Celia had mentioned. When he caught a group of Icefield Demon Wolves, he would definitely be able to obtain magic gems. At that time, he would kill them one by one. Perhaps he could accumulate enough magic gems to upgrade the 12 Movements of Dawn. Mo Fan couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. He felt that his plan was very feasible.

I just don’t know if I am able to chant the Wing of the Wind Magic on my own, Mo Fan thought.

He still had to train to level up his magic. Mo Fan firmly believed that his magical powers would only become more proficient through practice.

He looked at Celia and asked, “Most mages don’t dare go into the Magical Beast Forest, but surely some of them have been there?”

Celia said, “Yes, but not even the Great Archmages would dare venture into the depths of the Magical Beast Forest alone.”

Mo Fan nodded and muttered to himself, “So I can’t just casually barge into the depths of the Magical Beast Forest. Do I still have to wait for the Magical Beast tide?”

Mo Fan’s voice was so soft that Celia only saw his lips move. She didn’t hear what he said.

She saw that the Archmage was interested in the Magical Beast Forest, so she continued to tell him, “Our Skadi Kingdom is very close to the Magical Beast Forest. Every magical beast tide is a nuisance. In particular, there are huge dragons called Anius in the Magical Beast Forest near the Ventobona Mountains. Their habitat forest is very close to the Skadi Kingdom border.”
