The life mage that had been called over had no idea why Walker had requested him. All he knew was that he was told that he would be a very important part of setting the trap with Walker now. He didn''t have any issues with that though. He did wonder, he was just a healer. How could he be a very important part of setting a trap when he couldn''t set traps at all?


    "Just be careful there, if you are going to have those lowered around and down that stone, the poison might seep out." One of the cave crawler bodies was already cut open and had some of the poison spilled in to it. Not a single drop had fallen anywhere but Gil had to make sure that Walker was careful. Having a poisoned leader was not part of his personal ns.


    "It''s fine, I can use wind to lower things down even more softly. I have been using it to stop the scents of the smander bodies from warning the mountain lion. That''s why it''s still sleeping." Walker had asked Gil to speak with Zephyr for assistance here.


    The wind magic needed was very delicate. Therefore, the first thought had been for Gil himself to try and manipte wind. Unfortunately, Gil was not a mage so his win elemental mana maniption was all based on arrows and creating arrows. He did say that he would be able to deflect arrows at some point too though which was something that zephyr had told him was a part of using her strength as his avatar.


    "This is really going to make something bad stop attacking people?" Zephyr''s question was putting Walker and Gil on the spot. She was more interested in the mountain lion than the wyverns who could potentially be flying around in just a short while since the smell of defeated monsters was being blown toward the mountains.


    "We already said that there are enough wyverns to be causing trouble for everything living in the mountains. Why don''t you believe us?" Gil was having this slight argument with Zephyr which made Walker wonder just what went on between the two on a daily basis. It was funny though since they both seemed happier working together than before Walker had asked zephyr to lend her some strength on controlling wind elemental mana.


    Fleur on the other hand was even happier than Gil and Zephyr since she was helping bring Zephyr''s control and Walker''s mana together. Not to mention that she had a veryrge storage of natural mana due to Walker''s careful attempts to absorb and draw more mana toward himself while they were travelingtely. It was all in an attempt to get stronger.


    When the behemoth smander''s body was brought out, everyone became serious. It was hard to move and Walker was a little hurt to give up the materials from therge smander. It could have been used for other things, however, it was too tempting of a smell for wyverns. It was already pungent since it was arge monster but with dragon blood in it, the wyverns would be more tempted toe and figure out what was going on with it. This would also make them a bit more aggressive which would in turn make the mountain lion even more aggressive.


    "Everyone, help me lower it down." Walker had cut in to three ces with a dagger to create a poisoned portion of meat. The slight vaporing from the wounds proved that the poison was reacting with the behemoth smander''s body. It was dangerous, to say the least, and put everyone more on edge to know what they were dealing with.


    As the smander was lowered down, Walker and Gil both received a notification that their quest wasplete. That was great, but the screech they heard meant that they didn''t see the next link to the chain quest.


    ''Third link- infiltration


    Requirement- infiltrate the wyvern''s nest and find the queen of the wyverns.


    Rewards- ancient dragonnguage trantion skill.''


    If either had seen this, they would have been amazed. The dragonnguage that was now tranted with the skills and the will of the world were able to be understood. But ancientnguages? The same could not be said for. That was why the origin runes were a mystery. The ancient dragonnguage was sure to be the same, a mystery to them without trantion.


    "Time to do your part. The mountain lion heard that and is waking up. Wherever that wyvern is, it has started toe this way. That behemoth smander attracted it and whatever else heard that screech. We are going to make sure that the mountain lion can battle for a long time." Walker had thought of an addition to the n which was why he had a dragonkin rush to get a life mage with many skills that could help.


    "Just start applying every single buff you have to that monster down there and then we run." the smile that Walker had could only be described as reckless. No one else would ever ask someone to buff a monster. It was crazy. It was a monster that no one had any control of, not a tamer monster that bonded with a tamer and was kept on a tight leash.


    "I understand." The life mage did see the benefit. He also watched as Walker applied the buffs he had to the mountain lion and even dropped two poisons that crashed and became mist around the lion. Did the life mage know that they were special healing and mana potions? No, but they clearly would have a positive effect on the mountain lion.


    Just as the buffs were being ced, another screech broke through the air and made Gil along with the other archers turn to see the approaching shapes. It wasn''t just onerge wyvern, at least six wereing. Two were snapping at one another in the air trying to get to the food they smelled first. One of the smander bodies being left near the top of the rocks was the perfect bait to draw them toward the real trap. It also let everyone have more time to begin running.


    "We need to leave." Walker used the shadow wrapping skill she had learned from midnight to begin hiding them. The dragonkin that Mordant had sent with him also helped manipte the darkness mana to help hide them. Their skillspounded with Walker''s to hide them from sight almostpletely behind the rocks they were crouched and sneaking away from.


    The screeching of the wyverns did little to help the mountain lion stay awake. The buffs also brought the mountain lion back to the waking world faster. It couldn''t miss the danger approaching. Any monster would sense the feeling of dangering from the monstersnding and attacking the defeated monsters on the ground.


    With this sudden attack, the mountain lion started to roar and tore in to the young wyvern thatnded too close to it. This immediately alerted the other wyvernsnding around that there was danger. But they too were fighting one another to get to the meat they wanted. Food was in short supply so only the strong could have it. And with the mountain lion pushing them in to a frenzy, the group only had to look back and understand the trap had been set much more heavily than they needed.


    It had only been a few moments and the sounds of battle were growing loud enough to echo off the mountains. The distant screeches of more powerful wyverns had begun to grow. "Push it faster, I have shadow wrapping around us so just stay close to the shadows." Walker didn''t need to put much mana in to his skills. He could feel that the wyverns would ignore them if they noticed the small shapespared to the scent of food that attracted all of them.


    Meanwhile, the same sight was happening in the crag that Remey had just kicked another flying spider in to. However, the scene there was full of smaller wyverns. The young had sniffed out the smaller prey they would normally hunt fairly quickly. But instead of attacking the shapes above the crag, they had dove right in to attack what they could. Their shrill screeching attracting more of the youngest to feed on the food they found. Especially on those that they found of their own kind who were poisoned and falling down in front of them. Ack of food was ack of food, it didn''t matter what kind.


    "Remey, we need to close this even tighter. Leave the rest of the bait around the entrance." Thest three flying spider bodies were left with thest of the poison since the group could see more little wyverns approaching. Safety was the highest priority.


    Remey stood tall and looked at Onyx and Midnight were on guard and kept an eye on her safety. She turned to the earth mages, "Close it up tight then create spikes all around it!" The order went out as the earth mages worked together to shake the ground.


    pαпdα-ň?νê|·сóМ A chorus of shrill screeches grew while the entrance to the crag was closed leaving the smallest of space that nothing could get out of. The wyvern younglings would need to cut and scrape themselves away to even get through it at all. The lure of food would make them do that though. A small constant trap of poison and food. A terrible trap indeed.
