A barrage of spells bombarded the Titanic Dragon-Ape one after another as though they were free of charge to use. The attacks split its skin and flesh, drenching it in blood.
At the same time, a group of assassins fully wrapped in black robes weaved back and forth about the Titanic Dragon-Ape. They came and went like shadows, waiting for opportunities to launch ambushes to curb its movements from the sides.
Warriors!
Magicians!
Assassins!
As the three groups of people acted as one body and coordinated their movements with great rapport, they were actually overpowering the Titanic Dragon-Ape, despite the odds. As the Titanic Dragon-Ape faced attacks coming from all directions, despite being strong and powerful, the pitiful Ninth-Grade Magical Beast could only rely on its solid, robust body to passively endure the attacks, ending up completely at a disadvantage,
“That group of adventurers has such great rapport in their coordination!”
This was Meng Lei’s very first time witnessing a large-scale team battle like that, and his heart couldn’t help but be set afire with passion as he watched. A thrilling grand scene like this was much more exciting than any Hollywood visual effects blockbuster. It was simply so intense.
Warriors that met the enemy head-on!
Assassins that came and went like phantoms!
Magicians that fervently dealt damage!
Three parties as one body!
Total rapport in their coordination!
“A good man is hardly a match for multiple enemies, and a ferocious tiger fears the pack of wolves!”
Meng Lei let out an emotional sigh. “Even a Ninth-Grade Magical Beast has to yield when it’s up against a siege with so many people! As expected, there’s strength in numbers, and many hands make light work, indeed!”
“What nonsense!” Upon hearing Meng Lei’s comments, Ol’ Amos scoffed and said, “Brat, open your eyes wide and take a good look at what the true situation really is!”
“Uh...”
Meng Lei was taken aback. “Was I wrong to say that?”
“What you’ve noticed is just what’s on the surface!”
Ol’ Amos shook his head and said in contempt, “Most of the people in that group of adventurers only have sixth-grade to seventh-grade battle capabilities, and even the strongest among them is no more powerful than eighth-grade. Even if they have high numbers, they can still forget about killing a Titanic Dragon-Ape!
“You must understand that contained within the Titanic Dragon-Ape is the blood of our Dragon race, and it’s an outstanding presence among the Ninth-Grade Magical Beasts. It has incredible physical strength, peerless defenses, and can even fly. How can adventurers with that extent of ability rival it?”
Meng Lei frowned and argued, “That’s true, but the adventurers are clearly overpowering the Titanic Dragon-Ape by a lot!”
“No, wait! Doesn’t the Titanic Dragon-Ape have wings? Why isn’t it flying?
“If it flies into the sky and gains an aerial advantage, not only can it avoid the assassins’ ambushes, but it can also avoid some of the magic attacks. The adventurers’ advantage in numbers will be greatly reduced.
“Dammit, it’s so stupid that I can’t even bring myself to watch anymore.
“Why don’t you just goddamn fly...”
“Have you gotten an inkling of what’s wrong now?”
After he side-eyed Meng Lei, Ol’ Amos twisted his beard and explained with a smile, “It’s not that the Titanic Dragon-Ape isn’t feeling it today or that it’s stupid. Rather, it’s because... It can’t retreat.”
“It can’t retreat?”
Meng Lei stared blankly at him. “Ol’ President, why’s that?”
“Look carefully at its crotch.”
Ol’ Amos pointed at the area in between the Titanic Dragon-Ape’s legs.
Its crotch?
Puzzlement appeared on Meng Lei’s face. When he looked at the Titanic Dragon-Ape, he saw that the area between its legs was stained full of blood. Blood dripped from between its legs and almost dyed the ground red!
“You see it now?” asked Ol’ Amos as he stroked his beard with a smile.
“Ol’ President, has the Titanic Dragon-Ape’s butthole been violated?” Meng Lei was bewildered.
“Your butthole’s the one that’s been violated!”
Black lines filled Ol’ Amos’ face as he berated him furiously, “What the heck are you thinking about? Can you be more serious here?!”
“Uhh? Or maybe its balls have been cut off?” Meng Lei made another guess.
“Goddammit, you retard! That’s a female Dragon-Ape! How would it have any balls?!”
Ol’ Amos was fuming mad. He glared viciously at Meng Lei and snapped. “Open your eyes and take a good look behind the Titanic Dragon-Ape!”
“Behind it? Isn’t that a cave behind it?”
Meng Lei scratched his head. “That’s probably the Titanic Dragon-Ape’s den, right? What’s the deal about the den? Isn’t this very normal?”
“Your IQ is too low. I can’t communicate with you!”
Ol’ Amos was pretty mad, and he couldn’t be bothered to keep Meng Lei in suspense anymore. “That Titanic Dragon-Ape’s combat power has obviously dropped by a lot, and it’s weaker than even an ordinary Eighth-Grade Magical Beast now. Moreover, there’s blood at its crotch, and it’s also desperately guarding its den. The truth is already very clear and obvious by now—it has just given birth to its offspring...”
“Given birth?”
Meng Lei was dumbfounded for a moment. Then, he exclaimed in a low voice, “Ol’ President, are you saying that the Titanic Dragon-Ape’s combat power has dropped only because it has just given birth to its infant? That’s why it’s desperately guarding its den and keeping the adventurers from entering?”
“Yes!”
The old academy president nodded lightly and sighed as he fingered his beard. “A Titanic Dragon-Ape that’s in its usual state is strong enough to fight on equal grounds with an adult Dragon. How would those adventurers dare to encroach upon it?
“It’s only when it has just given birth and is in a weakened state that it would attract covetous attention from these adventurers. After all, this is a Ninth-Grade Magical Beast, as well as a Ninth-Grade Magical Beast’s infant. The
