And so, with a wave of goodbye to Xenia Blackwood, the group followed Leo Ray’s lead.
The ten of them left Milan Town and sped straight towards the Ancient Battlefield Ruins.
To avoid unnecessary complications, Leo Ray naturally didn’t choose the main roads frequented by merchants but took a rarely-traveled small path instead.
Not only could this cover their tracks, but it also allowed them to better understand the surrounding terrain and lay the groundwork for potential future battles in this area.
As they sped along, Leo Ray, who was riding on Bianca White, noticed a change in the scenery.
Following a familiar green plain south of Milan Town, the terrain began to undulate significantly, with distant mountain ranges gradually emerging.
Without a doubt, this signified that they had entered a complex mountainous region from the vast plains.
“Lord, in about half the distance, we’re going to be near the Ancient Battlefield Ruins,” said Linda, leading the way in front, her voice crisp and clear.
“Very well, let’s continue at this pace,” replied Leo Ray, who was surrounded by his powerful subordinates, with a slight nod.
Of course, Leo Ray didn’t idle during their journey.
He upgraded the weapons left by the black-clothed assassins who he had killed when he first saved Xenia and Bella White in the alleyway.
Eventually, he was lucky enough to obtain one Tier 4, three Tier 3, and over 400 Tier 2 short blades of the same type.
“However. with our increasing supplies. the 10.000-011bic meter storage
bracelet is beginning to feel a bit cramped,” said Leo Ray, riding on the white giant wolf, his mouth twitching in annoyance.
He lowered his body and buried his head in the fluffy back of the wolf while continuing to think, “When Jasper Richardson advances to Tier 5, I’ll ask her if there’s a way to expand the storage space. Also, the second additional effect of the bracelet is still in an unactivated state, marked by I should ask Jasper in detail.”
With that in mind, Leo Ray gently parted the soft white wolf fur in front of him, his eyes narrowing as he continued to observe the surroundings.
At this point, their group had entered a desolate mountainous area, and they could occasionally hear the roars of Demon Beasts nearby.
After about ten more minutes of rapid travel, Linda’s voice rang in Leo Ray’s ear through mind talk, “Lord, we are now in the vicinity of our destination.”
“Alright, stop moving,” said Leo Ray, waving his hand slightly. The entire team stopped on a hillside and then climbed the nearby peak.
“This area, Lord, is the Ancient Battlefield Ruins,” Linda pointed towards the valley below and said with a respectful bow.
Following Linda’s finger, Leo Ray looked down and saw a vast open wasteland surrounded by mountains.
The terrain here was very extensive and concave, with an elevation significantly lower than the surrounding areas, making it appear like a giant crater formed by a meteorite impact.
The desolate landscape was filled with yellow earth and swirling dust, with only a few low shrubs scattered sparsely throughout the area.
In short, the overall landform evoked a sense of extreme desolation, in stark contrast to the surrounding lush mountain ranges and plains, making it feel out of place.
“Interesting, ” Leo Ray’s face couldn’t help but reveal an intrigued expression as he continued his observation.
In the depths of the Ancient Battlefield Ruins, a dense white mist permeated the area, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
Noticing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but frown slightly.
He then concentrated his mind, and a strand of pure energy separated from the Energy Vortex in his abdomen and surged upward.
The next second, a milky-white glow appeared in his dark pupils.
With the enhancement of his internal energy, Leo Ray’s senses were noticeably strengthened. He gazed into the distance once more.
However, despite the increased range of his vision and the thinning of the mist, he still couldn’t see the depths of the battlefield clearly.
“It seems that the location of the fog is the source of the Mirage,” said Gideon Black, stepping forward and offering a fist salute. “From the current situation, unless we go there and completely break the Mirage, we cannot know whether Kombu and the others are trapped inside just by looking from the outside.”
“Lord, Uncle Priest is right,” Scarlett floated in front of Leo Ray, using her flight magic to hover in the air. “This naturally-formed Mirage usually has an eye area. As long as we use a special spell to erase the eye, the Mirage will naturally dissipate!”
“I see,” Leo Ray replied with a nod.
With a mental command, he took out ten Wind Eye Pills and handed them to his subordinates, “Everyone, take these. It will help reduce the impact of the Mirage on us for a while.”
After distributing the Wind Eye Pills, Leo Ray nodded to his subordinates, then flicked his finger and tossed the last pill into his mouth.
Once the magic drug entered his body, he realized that, unlike the Qi Condensing Pills and Rose Gathering Energy Pills, he didn’t feel any sense of aggression.
Instead, a gentle warmth burst forth from his abdomen and quickly spread throughout his body, leaving him feeling incredibly comfortable.
At the same time, Leo Ray discovered that his vision had greatly improved,
allowing him to see even minute details. such as a newly-emerged pimple
beneath Scarlett’s long eyelashes and the thin hair surrounding it, with incredible clarity.
“Goodness, as expected of a Tier 2 magic drug handed down by the Elf Tribe.
This is like equipping a telescope directly. I still have a Tier 3 Amber Dragon Eye Pill left after upgrading, I must try it when I have a chance,” said Leo Ray excitedly before turning to gaze at the depths of the Ancient Battlefield Ruins again.
He found that the white fog permeating the area had indeed thinned somewhat.
“Alright, let’s go see what makes this Mirage special,” Leo Ray nodded to his subordinates, then quickly dashed down the mountain..
