Meng Lei let out a couple of resigned laughs and said no more.
“Let’s go on ahead!”
“Little Meng Lei, I’ll leave the next Magical Beast’s head to you. Remember to take the kill!”
“Meng Lei, my little old brother. Cheer up, you have a lot of physical strength, so you’re born to be someone who cultivates Battle Aura. Be a Warrior like me instead, magic doesn’t suit you!”
“Hahaha, that’s right...”
The group continued on their journey as they chatted and laughed. After a few days of interaction, the wariness that the four of them held toward Meng Lei had gradually lessened. Their relationship had also become a lot more harmonious, and they had become mutually familiar, so they could now somewhat joke around with each other.
Under Bobby and the others’ counseling, Meng Lei’s mood gradually improved. After they continued forward for a few kilometers, an earthshaking roar suddenly came from the sky!
Roar!
Horrifying sound waves spread outward as though an atomic bomb had exploded! It was so loud that everyone’s ears were humming. Looks of agony appeared on their faces!
“What’s going on?”
“Has a high-grade Magical Beast run out to the forest’s outer boundary?”
Everyone was alarmed and fearful. With such a fearsome roar, it was highly likely that it was a high-grade Magical Beast. With everyone’s current battle capabilities, only death awaited them for sure should they encounter a high-grade Magical Beast!
“Look at the sky!” shouted Bobby suddenly.
The others lifted their heads upon hearing him. Then, all of them started trembling all over as if they had seen a ghost!
In the sky, a long distance away, a terrifying behemoth more than 100 meters long was suspended in the air. It had the same physique as a Colossal Dragon, wings like an eagle’s, and the head of a lion!
With long narrow ears and sharp claws like a bull’s horns, it shone a brilliant gold all over its body. Covered in armor, it had a horrifying build and looked savage and ferocious!
However, the key was that unlike other flying Magical Beasts, the gigantic creature wasn’t flapping its wings, and yet it could still suspend itself in mid-air and fly about. Its identity was pretty much on the tips of everyone’s tongues!
“Could that be the legendary Saint Domain Magical Beast, the Golden Flame Dragonne?”
Alison’s teeth chattered, and her body shook as she uttered the question!
Bobby, Millo, and Yale were also shaking like a leaf. Their eyes were full of fear and alarm!
“A dragon’s body, an eagle’s wings, a lion’s head, and the ability to fly!”
Bobby swallowed hard repeatedly. He said, “That is definitely the Saint Domain Magical Beast, the Golden Flame Dragonne!”
“Oh my dragon god, aren’t Saint Domain Magical Beasts supposed to be in the Magical Beast Forest’s central region? Why is it showing up here?” asked Millo, who found this inconceivable!
“S-saint Domain Magical Beast? Oh my god!”
Meng Lei stared hard at the gigantic creature in the sky. Even his breathing had become quick and ragged. It had been quite some time since he had come to Heaven’s Vault Continent. In particular, after spending the last few days with Alison and the others, he had heard a lot of behind-the-scenes stories about this world!
For example, how battle capabilities were categorized!
Be it Warriors, Magicians, or other races and Magical Beasts, their battle capabilities were categorized, in ascending order, from first-grade to ninth-grade, with first-grade being the weakest and ninth-grade the strongest!
A First-Grade Warrior had a significant boost in strength and was nimble and agile.
A Ninth-Grade Warrior moved like lightning and was capable of killing someone from afar!
And higher than ninth-grade was an existence that belonged in legends—the Saint Domain!
Illusory and vague, the Saint Domain was a legend within legends. A Saint Domain existence could control the universe and fly freely through the sky. They had an endless lifespan and even possessed destructiveness that could ravage heaven and earth...
The Saint Domain!
That was an existence far above everything else and stood at the top of the pyramid of lifeforms in Heaven’s Vault Continent. Like a nuclear warhead, it was an existence of strategic significance!
Moreover, as a Saint Domain Magical Beast, the Golden Flame Dragonne was a king among Magical Beasts. This particular magical beast—a combination of the Colossal Dragon, a lion, and an eagle—was a creature that was neither here nor there. Given the Colossal Dragon blood running through its veins, it was considered an outstanding existence even among Saint Domain Magical Beasts!
“Look over there!”
Yale’s eyes suddenly widened as he pointed at the sky.
Meng Lei turned and looked over, and was stunned at once. In front of the massive Golden Flame Dragonne were two tiny floating humans—though the “tiny” here was only in relation to the Golden Flame Dragonne!
They were actually about the same size as ordinary humans!
It was an elderly man and a teenager!
The elderly man was wearing a purple magician robe, and he had a rosy complexion and a kindly expression on his face. The teenage girl next to him was about sixteen to seventeen years old. Her shining eyes were bright and alert, while her teeth were pearly white—she looked as if she were a fairy!
The wind blew strongly in the air. However, there was a purple protective shield around the elderly man and the teenage girl. Lightning snaked about on the outside of the shield. No matter how strongly the wind blew, it actually couldn’t move the pair at all!
“H-humans?”
Alison and the other three men’s jaws dropped. They were completely stunned. Human Warriors and Magicians could only fly in the sky like birds after they had reached the Saint Domain level!
Of course, this was with the exception of Wind-Elemental Magicians.
However, since the elderly man and young girl were standing so
