“Lord Priest, Billy is the strongest warrior in our tribe. You must save him!”

“That’s right, if not for him wanting to save Elder Butler, why would Billy take the risk to capture the Munchlax?”

After praying for a while, the natives surrounded an old Priest who had a head full of white hair, begging him to save the young man who laid motionless on the stretcher.

The old Priest, with a head of white head and holding on to a Magic Staff like a walking stick, kept repeatedly casting a small Regeneration Spell for a few times. Seeing that it had no effect whatsoever, he shook his head helplessly. “Everyone, I’m sorry. The snake venom that Billy had gotten was too strong. Unless you can catch a Munchlax, which can cast a Great Regeneration Spell, otherwise, I fear that he cannot be saved even if you were to send him to the Great Wizard Pagoda of the Tilan Duchy. Unless…”

“Unless what?” The natives asked the hesitant old Priest, all at the same time.

Billy was the strongest and most powerful warrior in the tribe. Many of the tribespeople had gotten his help before. After finding out that the had been bitten by a poisonous snake and had fallen into a coma, everyone was worried and anxious, carrying him through the night over a few dozen miles to the Wizard Pagoda that was just built, hoping that the old Priest could save his life.

“The Lord Ogre King is in command of tens of thousands of Magical Beasts. He must have a way to neutralize the snake venom. As long as Bill can be sent to the Magical Beasts Realm overnight, then his life will definitely not be in danger!” The old Priest paused, shook his head, and continued, “Unfortunately, nearest to us, only the Tilan Duchy, more than a thousand miles away, has the Teleportation Formation to reach the Magical Beasts Realm. Without a flying type Magical Beast, or a quick battle horse, we will not be able to send Billy to the Tilan Duchy before sunrise!”

“What is there to do then?”

“Yes, what to do?”

“Seeing that the old Priest could do nothing else, the people got teary-eyed, and anxiously discussed strategies. From their conversation, Yang Ling very quickly, more or less, got an idea of what was going on.

It turned out that this was a small Duchy that was adjacent to the Tilan Duchy. It was mostly mountains and forests within its borders. After returning from the Magical Beasts Realm, the King, with the help of Goode, built five Wizard Pagodas within their borders. Due to the time crunch, every Wizard Pagoda only had a Spellcaster temporarily deployed to take on the position of Priests, in charge of persuading people to convert to the religion of the Great Wizard. The natives were all simple and kind, and with the preaching by the Priests, all of them quickly became followers of the Great Wizard. If there was any problem that they could not solve, they would go to the Wizard Pagoda to look for the Priest for help.

These natives came from a tribe deep within the mountain. A few days ago, the Tribe elder fell seriously ill after a big rain and was bedridden, getting weaker and weaker. To treat and save the greatly respected Elder, young Billy took the risk of going into the forest to capture and Munchlax, hoping to use the little fellow’s natural unique talent to treat and save the Elder. Unexpectedly, not only did he not manage to catch the speedy Munchlax, he had instead accidentally gotten bitten and wounded by a poisonous snake wound around a tree branch. He held on to his last breath until he reached the tribe, before falling unconscious to the ground. At a loss of what to do, the people carried him here by rushing through the night, but unexpectedly, this time around, even the elderly Priest could not help!

A Munchlax that could naturally perform the Regeneration Spell and could treat and save patients?

After understanding the situation, Yang Ling was particularly interested in the Munchlax that the natives were talking about. Now, within the Great Magical Beasts Army, there were Giant Apes that were in charge of close combat, Burning Fire Elves that were in charge of long-range attacks, Twin-legged Dragons that were in charge of taking control of the airspace… The formation might be getting to be more and more perfect, but it lacked large numbers of battlefield nurses that could give timely treatment for the Magical Beasts. During a large-scale battle, this was of utmost importance. With battlefield nurses, he could greatly reduce the number of injured or dead amongst the low-level Magical Beasts.

Some of the Withered Tree Warriors were naturally born with the ability to cast the Regeneration Spell and could give the Magical Beasts timely treatment of their wound, but there were simply too few of them, and could no longer satisfy the needs of the Magical Beasts Army that was getting larger and larger in scale. At first, Yang Ling was preparing to get Goode to recruit a group of Water Element Spellcasters to join the Magical Beasts Army and treat the injured Magical Beasts on time. But now, after finding out about the existence of the type of creature like the Munchlax, he naturally could not give up the opportunity. After all, it would not look good to have a bunch of human Spellcasters in the Great Magical Beasts Army, and it would be more difficult for him to give commands as quickly on the battlefield.

“Everyone, I’m a Spellcaster who’s passing by, you can call me Yuri. Let me take a look. Maybe I can help you think of a solution!” After making up his mind, Yang Ling spoke while walking up to them. Very quickly, he found a blackened wound on Billy’s left arm. There were clearly a few teeth marks on it.

“Great, that’s great. Thank you, Lord Yuri!” Looking at Yang Ling, who was carrying the Dragon Bone Staff in his hand, the worried natives were overjoyed.

“This type of snake venom is very poisonous. If I’m not wrong, this snake is a type of rare snake!” Yang Ling had a grave expression on his face, and after falling silent for a while, he took out a pill of antidote that Alice had made, from his Space Ring, giving it to a native beside him, signaling him to feed it to the young man Billy. “This is a holy pill passed down from our family and can neutralize a hundred types of poisons. If this can’t neutralize the venom of this type of venomous snake, then I won’t be able to help anymore!”

A holy pill that could neutralize a hundred types of poisons?

The natives looked nervously at Billy, who had swallowed the antidote, feeling extremely grateful to Yang Ling for his generous help and worried that the terrifying snake venom would still not be neutralized in the end.

“Ah, this… What is this place?” Under the tense attention of the people, the young man who had swallowed the so-called holy pill let out a pained moan, slowly opening his eyes at the same time.

“Billy, this is the Wizard Pagoda. This is the Wizard Pagoda near our tribe!” Seeing that Billy had not only opened his eyes but was also struggling to sit up, a young lady leaped forward in excitement, hugging him tightly.

“Amazing. Sure enough, it is a holy pill that can neutralize a hundred types of poisons!”

“Yes, quick, Billy, quickly, thank Lord Yuri!”

Looking at Billy, who had regained consciousness, the natives were overjoyed, thanking Yang Ling one after another. At first, they had thought that Billy would not be able to escape death this time around. But unexpectedly, they actually could even encounter a Spellcaster who was passing through in the middle of the night! Reminded by the people, the lovers who were hugging and crying, quickly came and bowed to Yang Ling.

“You’re welcome, get up!” Looking at Billy, who had escaped death in the face of great danger, and the young woman in his arms who was weeping in agitation, Yang Ling smiled. “The holy pill might have neutralized most of the snake venom in your body, but, if you want to completely get rid of all traces of the venom in your body, you have better capture a few Munchlaxes to treat yourself.”

“This…” Thinking of the Munchlax that was lightning fast, and thinking again of the terrifying venomous snake in the forest, Billy looked uncomfortable. “My Lord, the Munchlax growing on the tree may be able to cast the Regeneration Spell by nature, but it is simply too fast. We can only use honey to bait it, and then shake it off the tree. But venomous snakes are all over the forest. If we were to accidentally shake a venomous snake off the tree again, then…”

“That’s right. We really cannot take the risk again. In any case, the Elder is already feeling much better due to the help from the Lord Priest!”

“No, if you are not treated by the Munchlax, what if the traces of snake venom left in Billy’s body flares up in a few years’ time? Won’t it be even more troublesome by then?”

The people were having a heated discussion. There were people who agreed to reenter the forest to capture the Munchlax, but there were also people who were opposing loudly.

“Actually, my main purpose of coming to the mountain is to capture the Munchlax.” Looking at the natives who were thoroughly enjoying the debate, Yang Ling spoke slowly, “As a Spellcaster, I have ways to deal with the dangers within the forest. But, I need a guide who is familiar with the environment. After the job is done, I will pay a sum of Crystal Coins, and can also give you a Munchlax as payment!”

After hearing that the Munchlax grew on trees and that they could be shaken down from the trees, Yang Ling’s interest grew, and he was prepared to see what type of Magical Beast it was. The natives might turn pale at the mention of the venomous snakes in the forest, but to Yang Ling, an ordinary venomous snake was of no threat to him. Even if he were to stand still without moving, an ordinary venomous snake might not even be able to bite through his skin. Even if he got careless and got poisoned, it would not be much of a threat with Alice’s antidote and the Water of the Spring of Life from the Wizard Pagoda’s Space.

Hearing that Yang Ling was going to go in personally, the natives were once again overjoyed. In the eyes of an ordinary person, the mysterious Spellcasters were all extremely powerful. With a Spellcaster who could neutralize snake venom personally handling things, they were much more confident of their chances of capturing the Munchlax. Having a Munchlax would also be extremely beneficial to the tribe, and they would be able to treat the wounded tribespeople rapidly.

In their great joy, they passionately invited Yang Ling to their tribe as their guest. After being fully prepared, they rapidly formed a team to bring Yang Ling into the forest to look for traces of the Munchlax. And their leader was none other than Billy, who had escaped death when faced with great danger.

The natives’ tribe was situated within a forest lush with trees. Tall and huge trees and vines full of spurs could be seen everywhere. Even though the numbers of Magical Beasts here were not as numerous as in the Terras Forest, where they could be found everywhere, the numbers of Magical Beasts here were still astonishing. After walking for a few hours and having not yet ventured deep into the dense forest, they were already harassed by over a dozen Magical Beasts. There were a pack of Wind Wolves, termite-like Vampire ants, and ferocious and beastly Violent Earth Bears…

Even though they had grown up in the forest from young, the natives nevertheless understood better than anyone else, how terrifying these Magical Beasts were. Under ordinary circumstances, they definitely not be willing to venture deep into the dangerous dense forest. But in order to take this opportunity to capture a Munchlax, they had no choice but to take the risk for the mission and carried large numbers of sharp crossbow arrows. Fortunately, while they had encountered a number of Magical Beasts blocking their way, they were alarmed but in no danger due to the crossbows. With the Spellcaster Yang Ling accompanying them, they were much more at ease!

“Lord Yuri, traces of a Munchlax have appeared on the ground already. If I’m right, there should be a Munchlax nearby. This is a specially made perfumed satchel of our tribe. You can mask your body’s smell when wearing it.” After seeing a few balls of the Munchlax’s droppings, Billy was reinvigorated. After passing Yang Ling a small perfume satchel, he instructed the tribespeople to take action according to a plan to prevent alarming the Munchlax, which was sensitive to smell. At the same time, he led the people to take out fresh honey from within their packs, carefully smearing it on the branches nearby.

A Magical Beast that was sensitive to smell and loved to eat?

After wearing the perfume satchel that Billy passed to him, and looking at the honey that the people smeared on the trees, Yang Ling, puzzled, hid within the bushes to observe quietly for any changes. He was prepared to see the Munchlax that so-called grew on trees, and what type of fellow it was exactly.
