Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 11 Attack

The air was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, and the moonlight was hazy; the entire basin seemed to be in a fairyland.

Meanwhile, those on the outskirts of the basin were carrying out their tasks in an orderly fashion. They set up camp, scattered specially made third-tier magical beast droppings around the perimeter, and skillfully arranged the defenses of their camp. No wonder Wan Yao Zhai, despite having well-established routes, still hired mercenaries at high prices to escort doctors; perhaps this was one of the most important reasons.

Walking into the basin, I watched as many medical apprentices carefully picked medicinal herbs under the guidance of doctors, some of whom were careless and were frequently criticized by the doctors.

Seeing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh, "Fortunately, he was lucky enough to obtain the alchemist's legacy and was also very talented. Otherwise, he might not even be living as well as them now." After sighing, he walked towards Qing Lin.

At this moment, Qinglin was chattering and laughing incessantly around Little Fairy Doctor, who responded with smiles from time to time, and carefully explained to Qinglin the habits of picking medicinal herbs and the methods of storage. Qinglin, who was usually seen as a little lazy by Lin Feng, was now very serious, which surprised him. Could it be that one thing can subdue another?

As Lin Feng drew closer, Qing Lin finally saw him. In the moonlight, Lin Feng's figure seemed even longer and more ethereal. Coupled with the fact that this outwardly aloof, but inwardly passionate guy had specially prepared the Sanpin Lihua Cleansing Cream for himself, making his skin appear even whiter and more delicate, he somehow managed to exude an air of refined elegance and otherworldly charm beneath his slightly muscular physique.

"Brother..." "My lord..." Upon seeing Lin Feng arrive, Qing Lin and Little Fairy Doctor both greeted him, but one was affectionate while the other was somewhat awe-inspiring.

Lin Feng patted Qing Lin's head, then looked at Little Fairy Doctor. "No need to be so polite. I should thank you for keeping Qing Lin company. No one has ever wanted to be with this girl since she was little..."

"Brother Lin Feng..." Lin Feng's words were interrupted by Qing Lin, whose little face was flushed as she shook her arms. "Everyone has already told Sister Little Fairy Doctor..." Before she could finish speaking, she buried her head in Lin Feng's arms in embarrassment.

"This..." Lin Feng was taken aback, his lips twitching slightly. Were they really that close? But this only strengthened Lin Feng's resolve to accept Little Fairy Doctor as his disciple.

It wasn't because of the exceptional potential of the Calamity Poison Body. In his opinion, the ranking of the wealthy young women in the original work was: Zi Yan > Xun'er > Queen > Qing Lin > Little Doctor Fairy > Yun Yun... As for Ya Fei and the others, let's leave them aside for now. (ps: Lin Feng: I'm still not entirely clear on this myself. Anyway, if I encounter someone I can take in, I'll take them in. I won't take the initiative, I won't refuse, and I'll take responsibility. Hehehehehehehe...)

As for the Fire Spirit Fairy and those in black robes, how dare you! Where is Dian Wei? Dian Wei, where is my Dian Wei? Impossible, absolutely impossible, ah…

Just as this repressed pervert was getting carried away with his own self-pleasure, a beastly roar startled everyone back to reality.

"Ah..." A piercing scream followed, causing the mercenaries to tense up, gripping their weapons tightly. Their eyes swept sharply through the surrounding darkness, ready to deal with any potential danger.

Of course, the mercenary leader immediately sent two men to pull the wounded mercenary back to the group. The doctor from Wan Yao Zhai rushed forward to clean the wound and stop the bleeding.

However, everyone could see the injury clearly. The mercenary was lying on the ground, writhing in pain. His thigh was covered in blood, clearly injured by some kind of sharp claw. Seeing this, the mercenaries' expressions turned solemn, and they dared not relax their guard for a moment.

"Roar...roar..." Roars echoed from the dark jungle, clearly indicating a pack of magical beasts. The mercenaries' expressions turned even more grim upon hearing the beasts' roars.

At this moment, an obviously older mercenary in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Oh no, it's ambergris! Quickly light the torches and retreat into the medicine valley!"

Ambergris: A special incense made from the saliva of a fourth-tier magical beast, the Tiger-Scaled Flood Dragon, combined with special herbs. When lit, it doubles the speed of battle qi circulation. It can also have a certain effect on battle spirits, making it a commonly used item besides elixirs, and its reputation is widespread. It easily drives magical beasts mad, but only works on magical beasts below the fourth tier.

"Hahaha, it's too late. Everyone from Wan Yao Zhai will die here today. As for you, hehehe, you can only blame your bad luck. I'll retreat first!" Suddenly, a chilling laugh rang out. Everyone saw the cloaked man who had been silent in the group suddenly lift his cloak, revealing a face covered in wounds.

"Master Yao, you plotted against my entire family back then, and today I will make you pay with your life. Hehehe..."

"What?! It's you!!!" Even when the monsters attacked, Yao Zhaizhu remained calm, but suddenly his expression changed and he looked dazed.

"Ah...you, you...how is this possible...pfft..." Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the cold-looking man who was just about to leave the camp fall to the ground with a thud, blood spurting out straight out, as if accompanied by the sound of some kind of Vajra Finger.

"Heh, revenge is revenge, but you've included me in this, and even threatened Qinglin. This is your path to death." Lin Feng calmly turned around and silently walked back to Qinglin's side, but everyone was filled with awe.

"Roar roar roar..." Perhaps the appearance of blood stimulated the already frenzied monster, and its roar became even more tense and urgent.

Immediately afterwards, enormous figures burst forth from the forest—a group of ferocious magical beasts, their bodies covered in thick scales, their eyes gleaming with a savage light. They opened their blood-red maws, revealing sharp fangs, and the mercenaries on the outskirts of Medicine Valley pounced.

"What?! It's a Tier 1 high-level magical beast, the Crimson Phosphorous Fang Beast. This beast spews a foul stench that can knock people unconscious. Its entire body is covered in phosphorescent armor, almost without any flaws, and its fangs are incredibly sharp. Even a Dou Shi (Battle Master) expert can be severely injured if it's not careful. What's worse, this kind of magical beast is a pack animal. The leader is Tier 3, and there are several Tier 2 generals guarding it. We're doomed, we're doomed... Even the high-level Dou Shi, Lord Lin Feng, thought he might be able to escape. He's definitely going to die now..." The older mercenary in the crowd murmured, looking dazed, as if he had already given up hope of survival.

"What?! A...a third-tier magical beast?! How...how is this possible?" Many mercenaries opened their mouths, all of them breaking out in a cold sweat. Some even smelled of urine.

"Brother, wait a minute... if things really don't work out, just run away. Qinglin... Qinglin wants to be with you in the next life." Qinglin tightened her grip on Lin Feng's arm, her expression filled with fear, but she still spoke with unwavering determination.

Lin Feng gently patted Qing Lin's head. "Silly girl, I will never let you leave me in this lifetime."

At this hour, including last night's all-nighter, I haven't slept for two days. I've deleted and revised it a second time, but I'm too exhausted to continue. I'll just publish it now and revise it again tomorrow if necessary. I'm so sleepy!
