After Meng Lei removed the scales and gutted the fish, he sliced the flesh into strips and cleaned them. Then he started to roast them.

It didn’t take long before an aroma began to pervade the air. As Teddy, the little Dragon-Ape, sniffed about hard, it became restless and fidgety, eagerness filling its eyes.

“Meat... Wanna eat meat!”

Thanks to the power of the contract, Meng Lei and Teddy were able to communicate with each other spiritually. Unfortunately, as Teddy was still an infant, its speech was very disjointed and choppy, so it could only express simple thoughts.

Even so, this was still something completely new to Meng Lei. Hearing animals speak and communicating with animals were things that he’d never experienced before in his past life. He found the experiences very novel.

“Be patient! It’s not cooked yet!”

Meng Lei gave Teddy a rub on the head. Then, he continued to slice the flesh into strips and roast them. Little Teddy had initially been eating raw meat, but after its first taste of roasted meat, it never went back to eating it raw anymore.

At mealtimes every day, it would personally catch a Magical Beast and get Meng Lei to roast it. A complete glutton through and through, it had clearly taken Meng Lei for a chef!

It didn’t take long for fish to cook. Before long, an aroma pervaded the air. Meng Lei scattered some condiments onto the fish and tossed Teddy a piece.

Nom!

The heat didn’t bother Teddy at all as it swallowed the meat whole in one gulp. Then, it blinked its big black eyes and stared expectantly at Meng Lei, saliva dripping from its mouth...

Is there even any difference between Teddy and the poodle back at home?

...Is this really a Titanic Dragon-Ape?

Can I return it to the store?

“Slow down, no one’s fighting with you over the food!”

Meng Lei rolled his eyes at Teddy as he took a piece for himself. Then, he pointed at the rest of the roasted fish and said, “They are all yours. Go ahead and dig in!”

“Wau!” Teddy let out a cheer and dived forward.

Nom!

Nom!

After spending a while to gobble down the food, half the roast fish had disappeared.

“Did you die of starvation in your past life or what?!”

Meng Lei also picked up the roasted fish and dug in happily. Golden-Light Fishes were known as the most delicious Fifth-Grade Magical Beasts, and they certainly tasted pretty great, indeed. It could totally give the Garlic Roasted Sun-Moon Divine Frog a run for its money.

The woods were lush and luxuriant, and the lake clean and clear.

Birds sang amid the fragrant flowers as the campfire blazed.

The aromatic fragrance greeting the senses and the blazing campfire came together to form an unusual, though harmonious, picture in this forest full of life, yet also full of danger!

...

After lunch, Meng Lei continued on his journey.

It had been half a month since he had come to Magical Beast Forest. He’d traversed the mountain ridges, battled constantly, and left footprints in almost half of the Magical Beast Forest. Even he himself wasn’t sure how far he’d traveled, how many Magical Beasts he’d killed, or where he was.

In fact, due to the brambles all over the ground and countless thorny vines in the forest, Meng Lei had found his clothes rather in the way and taken off his top, choosing to walk about topless in the forest. Together with his long hair wrapped around on top of his head, he looked just like an uncivilized caveman!

“It’s been 16 days since I’ve come to Magical Beast Forest. I should leave after staying for another week!”

Boom!

At that moment, a series of barely audible explosions suddenly traveled over from the front. They sounded like things colliding against each other, and the explosions were constantly ringing out. A smile appeared on Meng Lei’s face as he cocked his ears.

“There are dumbasses fighting again. Well, that certainly saves me a lot of trouble!”

Meng Lei had already heard similar commotions umpteen times, and he’d long since gotten used to it. He followed where the sounds were coming from and dashed over, his speed lightning-quick. Compared to half a month ago, he was moving at more than double his original speed.

Oh, the magic carpet?

This area was close to the Magical Beast Forest’s central region, and the magic carpet was very eye-catching, which made it very easy for them to be attacked by fearsome creatures. Meng Lei had no wish to be attacked by powerful Magical Beasts for no reason.

He was here to hunt Magical Beasts. He didn’t want to be killed by Magical Beasts instead!

As he got nearer and nearer, the commotion also became bigger and bigger.

At last...

Boom!

A towering tree broke into two, and the gigantic tree crown came smashing toward Meng Lei, who secretly bemoaned his bad luck. A fissure appeared beneath his feet, and he hastily jumped in!

The fissure quickly closed up, and the tree crown came crashing down right on the heels of it.

Boom!

Tree branches broke, and fallen leaves flew everywhere. Everything within a radius of several hundred meters became collateral damage, and the surroundings turned into a complete mess.

A hole appeared in the ground, and Meng Lei poked his head out of it. As he looked at the broken trees and messy branches all over the ground, he realized that he wasn’t going to be able to get out anymore. He cast Earth Split at once and started to dig his way out several hundred meters away.

At a magic cultivation level like his, casting low-level spells could be said to be something right at their fingertips. To them, digging a tunnel underground was no different from drinking a glass of water.

Boom, boom, boom!

Meng Lei darted out from underground and continued to advance toward the battleground. However, what entered his sight surprised him. As it turned out, it wasn’t Magical Beasts that were fighting but humanoids!

In addition, both parties in the battle came from illustrious backgrounds!

One of them was covered throughout in a layer of thick, golden scales. Golden dragon horns protruded from his forehead, a pair of golden dragon wings extended from his back, and there was a golden dragon tail at his hip.

As though he was made out of gold, he shone a bright, resplendent gold that was dazzling and eye-catching.

He was a Dragon Person, and one with pure Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline, no less.

The Golden Colossal Dragons! They were kings among the Dragons!

On top of that, they were the royal family of the Dragon God Empire, too!

Not only were they terrifyingly strong, but they also enjoyed a venerable status!

This resulted in Drakes with Golden Colossal Dragon blood in them also enjoying a fairly lofty status in the whole of Dragon God Empire. Just take a look at Hart’s father.

Hart’s father had average battle capabilities and could barely match up to an Eighth-Grade Warrior. It didn’t count as much in the Fire Dragon Kingdom, yet because of his status as a Golden Colossal Dragon Person, the Fire Dragon Kingdom royalty had conferred upon him the title of a Duke anyway.

An Eighth-Grade Warrior as a Duke of the kingdom? Would anyone even believe that?

But that wasn’t even the worst yet, because even Fatty Hart, a Golden Colossal Dragon Person that was as good as “crippled” and whose bloodline awakening was in total shambles, had been conferred the title of a Viscount the moment he was born, and owned his own land!

Who were they supposed to go to and reason things out with?

No one!

One could only admit that he was blessed with a good life.

Of course, Golden Colossal Dragons with average battle capabilities like Fatty Hart’s father were ultimately a minority. Golden Colossal Dragons were terrifyingly powerful, and Dragon People that inherited the Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline were also very strong.

As long as the bloodline in their bodies wasn’t so thin that it was impossible to awaken, their bodies would naturally become on par with at least a Seventh-Grade Warrior after they matured into adults. With a bit of effort, they would reach the Eighth-Grade Warrior level.

One could see from this just how powerful the Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline was.

Of course, while it was certainly powerful, there weren’t many Dragon People that had the Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline. In the entire Fire Dragon Kingdom, Fatty Hart and his father were the only ones that did.

That was the reason why Meng Lei was so surprised when he saw the Golden Colossal Dragon Person in front of him. Why was there a Golden Colossal Dragon Person here? And who was he?

The other party currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Golden Colossal Dragon Person similarly came from a notable background. There were a total of six people, and every single one of them was seven to eight meters tall. The muscles on their bodies intertwined like rocks piled on top of each other, and they were a burnished bronze color throughout as if they were made out of bronze.

They had humanoid characteristics, but they were seven to eight meters tall!

“Could they possibly be the famed Titans?”

Meng Lei’s eyes were filled with curious novelty and surprise as he watched the six giants that were as tall as two-story buildings. This was his first time seeing a giant, so it delivered quite the impact.

“No, they aren’t Titans, but Demigiants.”

Ol’ Amos flew out of the spatial ring at this point. As he also watched the six giants, he explained, “Demigiants have a mix of Titan and human blood in them. Those guys are bronze in color throughout, so they are evidently descendants of the Earth Titans.”

“The Earth Titans?” A light jolt went through Meng Lei.

“Surely you know of the Earth Titans, right?” Ol’ Amos frowned and added in a criticizing manner, “It’s about time you fill yourself in on the continent’s history!”

“Oh man, why are you bringing that up again?” Meng Lei was rather sheepish. Then, he asked, “Ol’ President, what are the Earth Titans?”

“Like us Dragons, the Titans are also categorized into quite a few types.” Ol’ Amos snorted but continued to explain, “For example, the Thunder Titans who are also the royal family of the Titan Empire, the Ocean Titans that control the oceans, the Storm Titans that dominate the typhoons, the Lava Titans that bathe in lava, and so on... The Earth Titans are also one of them!”
