Chapter 84: Terrifying Roars, A Magical Beast Riot

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Ding! 1 Black-Winged Comb Python killed. 1,190,000 million gold coins gained!”

Meng Lei was in a fantastic mood as he listened to the system notification in his mind. He had earned more than a million gold coins early in the morning the moment he woke up. It couldn’t get any better than this!

“What’s the use of this iron stick1...”

Meng Lei hummed a tune as he cleaned the Black-Winged Comb Python carcass. The morning sun weaved through the overlapping layers of tree branches to shine upon Meng Lei, outlining the contours of a beautiful scene.

Little Teddy squatted at the side as it watched Meng Lei eagerly. Saliva was already overflowing from its mouth, and it could barely wait any further. Roasted meat was its favorite food, especially high-grade Magical Beast roasted meat.

That taste...

Wauuu!

Just the thought of it alone was enough to make Teddy lose control of itself.

Roar!

However, an earth-shaking roar suddenly rang out in the depths of the forest at that moment. It exploded with a deafening boom, as though sudden claps of rolling thunder!

“What’s that sound?”

Meng Lei looked in the direction from which the sound had come from, anxious and doubtful. The sound had actually filled him with fear and trepidation?

Roar!

An even more violent and raging roar rang out. Meng Lei felt his scalp go numb, and his heart involuntarily began to pound faster. He took a look at Little Teddy to see that it’d actually huddled into a quivering ball and was using its wings to cover its head, its eyes full of alarm and fear!

“That sound had come from the Magical Beast Forest’s depths!

“Could it be a Ninth-Grade Magical Beast? Or even... a Saint Domain one?”

Meng Lei was bewildered and anxious.

Ol’ Amos emerged from the spatial ring at that moment, stretching and yawning as he did so. “Good morning, brat.”

Roar!

Little didn’t Ol’ Amos expect an explosive roar to go off in his ears, shocking him so much that he jumped in fright. His expression changed, and he asked, “Brat... What’s that sound?”

Meng Lei shook his head to express that he had no idea what was going on, either. Then, he pointed at Teddy that was all huddled up on the ground.

“Teddy may be an infant, but it has Ninth-Grade Magical Beast blood in it, nevertheless, and is fearless even in the face of an Eighth-Grade Magical Beast. Why is it so frightened?”

Ol’ Amos’ countenance was serious and solemn. He shouted in a low voice, “Get ready to run, brat! Things aren’t looking too good!”

A chill ran down Meng Lei’s spine.

Even Ol’ Amos is saying that things aren’t looking good?

Roar!

Yet another furious roar rang out at that moment.

Right on the heels of it, another roar after roar rang out in the depths of the forest. The roars rose and fell in succession continuously, interlacing with each other to form an enraged song of roars in the skies above the Magical Beast Forest.

Every single roar made Meng Lei’s scalp tingle. They sounded just like the ferocious roars of fierce, primitive beasts, causing chills to run down one’s spine as they shuddered in fear.

“That was the voice of a Saint Domain Magical Beast, the Six-Winged Heavens-Swallowing Beast, just now!” Ol’ Amos exclaimed in a low voice.

Howl!

“That’s the voice of the Saint Domain Magical Beast, the Moon-Howling Heavenly Wolf King!”

Moo!

“That’s the cry of the Saint Domain Magical Beast, the Golden-Backed Ox Scorpion!

“Damn! Why are there so many Saint Domain Magical Beasts?! What exactly has happened in Magical Beast Forest’s central region?!”

A horrified Ol’ Amos barked, “Something must have gone wrong there, Meng Lei. Hurry and get out of Magical Beast Forest!”

“What exactly has happened, Ol’ President?!”

Meng Lei followed with another question and asked, “Are there Saint Domain Magical Beasts fighting with each other? Are we able to sneak in there to take advantage of the crisis and reap some benefits as a bystander?”

“You fool! Are Saint Domain Magical Beasts that easy to take advantage of?! Even if they are, that chance isn’t going to go to you!” Ol’ Amos barked, “Cut the crap and get out of here!”

“Fine!”

Meng Lei could only bring out the magic carpet as he curled his lip in response. Then, he grabbed the terribly wussy Teddy and rushed up into the sky.

The magic carpet flew at high speed above the forest, causing the wind to howl in their ears. Ol’ Amos suddenly shouted, “Look over there, brat!”

Meng Lei quickly turned to see the shaking and violently swaying forest a far distance away. A large expanse of trees collapsed, and countless bushes and shrubs broke to reveal a massive behemoth with two pairs of wings on its back. It was a dazzling silver color throughout as if it was forged from silver.

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...”
