Despite being a great distance away from the behemoth, Meng Lei could still feel a terrifying aura of savagery coming from the monster. It overwhelmed him so badly that he couldn’t even catch his breath!
“Hiss!”
Meng Lei sucked in a breath of air. “What a huge Magical Beast! It must be at least 60 to 70 meters long?!”
“That’s the Saint Domain Magical Beast, Moon-Howling Heavenly Wolf King!”
Ol’ Amos said solemnly in a deep voice, “Moon-Howling Heavenly Wolves become Eighth-Grade Magical Beasts the moment they mature into adults. The outstanding ones can even grow to become Ninth-Grade Magical Beasts, whereas all the rulers of this species are Saint Domains!”
“The Moon-Howling Heavenly Wolf King!” Meng Lei was astounded. “It’s so handsome and so domineering! Compared to it, my seniors’ mounts are practically defenseless babies!”
Many of the seniors in the magic academy had their own mounts. Mounts were a status symbol, as well as a symbol of one’s strength. However, there was ultimately a limit to students’ strength, so how strong could their mounts possibly go?
Most of them were Third- or Fourth-Grade Magical Beasts, with only a rare few Fifth-Grade Magical Beasts. For example, the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros, Gale Wolf, Flaming Lion... All of them were low-grade Magical Beasts that weren’t fit to be seen.
However, these were enough to fill the freshmen with envy. Meng Lei had exactly been one of those envious freshmen back then. At that time, he had already been fantasizing about how he’d also subdue a powerful Magical Beast as his mount one day, just like those seniors.
How awe-inspiring!
How impressive!
But now that he had become stronger, his expectations had also risen. Meng Lei was no longer satisfied with those mounts. In his opinion, only handsome Magical Beasts like the Moon-Howling Heavenly Wolf King could match his status now.
“Are you really comparing those trashy Magical Beasts to the Moon-Howling Heavenly Wolf King?” Ol’ Amos’ lip corners were twitching as he scoffed. “If the Moon-Howling Heavenly Wolf King knew what you were thinking, it’d probably be so furious that it’d smack you to death with its paw!”
“Hahaha! It’s just a casual remark!” Meng Lei burst into laughter and said, “You never know, with my current strength, I might just be able to really subdue a Saint Domain Magical Beast as my mount someday!”
Although Ol’ Amos curled his lip upon his words, he didn’t rebut him. After all, he’d never seen magic talent as wonderful as Meng Lei’s nor a speed of improvement as fast as Meng Lei’s. The Saint Domain realm wasn’t just a dream for him.
At the other side, another Magical Beast emerged from the forest as it roared. It was a massive creature reddish-gold in color throughout and had an ox body and scorpion legs. It trampled on the forest as it advanced.
In front of it, tall, towering trees a few dozen meters tall were no different from green foxtail grasses. With just a light push from the creature, all of them broke at their bases, or broke in the middle, or were completely uprooted...
How ferocious!
How violent!
“That’s the Saint Domain Magical Beast, Golden-Backed Ox Scorpion!”
Ol’ Amos explained, “Extremely strong mutated Magical Beasts don’t live in packs. They are rare hermaphrodites and will only produce one offspring in their whole lives.”
“Hermaphroditic Magical Beasts...”
Meng Lei was a little dumbfounded. He didn’t quite know what to say anymore.
There are actually Magical Beasts that fornicate with themselves? Fact is really stranger than fiction in this boundless universe sometimes.
“That’s the Saint Domain Magical Beast, Titanic Long-Horned Beetle, an insect Magical Beast species. It possesses Herculean strength and has peerless defenses. In terms of physical strength, it doesn’t lose out to the Great Earth Bear in the least!”
“What about that one, Ol’ President?”
“That’s the Great King Kong Crocodile, a water-elemental Saint Domain Magical Beast. It’s the overlord in rivers and lakes. When it’s in the water, even a pinnacle-level Saint Domain would have great difficulties killing it!”
Fearsome Magical Beasts emerged one after another like mushrooms after rain. Everywhere they passed by, the earth shook, the mountains trembled, and trees broke in halves. There was no way of knowing just how many ancient, towering trees were out of luck.
This scene truly frightened all the adventurers in the forest. Innumerable adventurers fled in a panic and ran about in a frenzy, wishing they had been born with more than two legs. Among them, some unlucky fellows that were too close to the Saint Domain Magical Beasts ended up being smacked to death along the way.
In conclusion, the entire Magical Beast Forest was in a total mess.
“Six of them!
“There are as many as six Saint Domain Magical Beasts!
“What exactly happened to these guys?”
Worry filled Ol’ Amos’ eyes as he gazed at the restless and roaring Saint Domain Magical Beasts. “All of them are overlords occupying their own territories in Magical Beast Ridge’s southeast region. They usually stay at their dens sleeping all the time and rarely leave to move about. Why are all of them moving at the same time today?
“What exactly has provoked them?
“Please, don’t form a beast tide and attack the borders. Otherwise, who knows how many people are going to die...”
Chapter 85: The King of Magical Beasts, An Exceptionally Huge Ant Tide
In the forest where vines interwove, several hundred armored mercenaries with large swords on their backs cut through thistles and thorns as they ran madly for their lives.
Well-trained and armed with excellent equipment, their lineup was several times stronger than the Fire Cloud Mercenaries. They were the Fire Dragon Kingdom’s famed Lucivia Mercenaries.
The Lucivia Mercenaries!
They were a unit under the Lucivia Chamber of Commerce’s command in Fire Dragon Kingdom. Rich, powerful, and strong, they enjoyed a very high status in Fire Dragon Kingdom’s mercenary circle, and innumerable adventurers dreamed of becoming one of them.
