nIf it was merely about exterminating pirates and charting naval paths, it was enough to have the main forces under Ashnamov’s command and Margaret’s team of pirates; If it was only about exploring islands abroad and searching for the relics of Ancient Wizards, then Yang Ling would only require a light ship to set out to sea; However, Yang Ling would require a large amount of manpower if he wanted to build a city at the Cape of Good Hope and establish control over the choke point leading into the Magical Beast Territory.

nAfter a series of considerations, Yang Ling mobilized a batch of elites from the mainland of the Magical Beast Territory through the Magical Spell Formation in the underwater mine at Dark Sand Island. There were a hundred Ogres led by the Twin-headed Ogre Braska, two hundred Bullman warriors mobilized from the Black Water City, a hundred Medusas wielding twin blades, as well as twenty of the Vandal Tribe’s ferocious warriors…

nThis time, not only did he have to build a city in the Jaboli Town outside of the Amazon Forest, he also had to seize the time to explore the mysterious Amazon Forest. The Second Elder of the Vandal Tribe was rumored to have already reached the little-known divine-level thousands of years ago. If Yang Ling could find traces of the Second Elder within the forest and obtain his strong support, it would definitely be immensely beneficial for his current journey.

nThe influence of the support from a Divine-level Expert was definitely unimaginable!

nOver the millennia, the Second Elder of the Vandal Tribe had disappeared. Even though the hope of finding him was not large; However, Yang Ling would definitely not easily miss any opportunities he could take advantage of.

nOther than the elites from the Magical Beast Territory and the brave warriors of the Vandal Tribe, the Corpse Wizard King had also used Sofia’s token and brought over her followers from the elf tribe. There were twenty speedy Huntresses, ten Sharpshooters who could make themselves invisible, as well as a few owls with alarming vision.

nThe Amazon Forest spanned tens of thousands of miles, with Magical Beasts roaming at every corner. An ordinary person would not survive if they took the risk and entered the forest. However, the elves were said to be the masters of the forest. With the Moon Priestess Sodia and her powerful followers, Yang Ling became even more confident about this journey.

n“Quick, raise the sails, raise the flag of our Magical Beast Territory!”

n“Raise the flag, quick!”

n…

nUnder Ashnamov’s instructions, the three large ships raised the sails and the flag in succession, riding the wind as they steered quickly toward the Cape of Good Hope that was about two thousand nautical miles away. Their Five-clawed Golden Dragon Flag danced in the wind.

nIn order to increase their speed, Master Aaron and the Gnome Elder had built a wind element Acceleration Magical Spell Formation on every ship. The ship could even move quickly against the wind or without the wind, much less riding the wind. It only cost Yang Ling several pieces of high-quality crystal ores.

nIf one were to use a wind element Magical Spell Formation to accelerate a large ship carrying eight hundred soldiers, they would have to spend at least ten high-quality crystal ores with every nautical mile they travelled; This expenditure was even more alarming if they were travelling against the wind. Even the naval fleets of the various empires might not be able to sustain the expenditure, much less an ordinary fleet of ships.

nSomeone else might not be able to use the expensive, high-quality crystal ores, but to Yang Ling, he did not have a problem sustaining the expenditure used by the three large ships. The Magical Beast Territory did not have many things, but it did have a substantial amount of mineral ores and crystal ores. He even had mountains of premium crystal ores that were much more expensive than high-quality crystal ores.

nUnlike the densely populated Banto Empire and Rossi Empire, the Magical Beast Territory adopted a strategy of focusing their resources on elite troops. Spending a few crystal ores for a powerful naval fleet was definitely worth it. Even though every piece of high-quality crystal ore could be sold for a decent price, Yang Ling did not place too high a regard on the money.

n“That’s weird, just what Magical Beast is on the flag, why does it invite such fear?” After playing around with a few goldfish that the Corpse Wizard King had caught her, looking at the Five-clawed Golden Dragon Flag flying in the wind, the little imp Annie quickly diverted her attention.

n“That’s right, just what monster is that? It does not look like a giant dragon, nor does it look like a python. However, it does look even more powerful!”

n“Hehe, don’t look at me. This is a flag that the military factory had hurried to produce following a picture drawn by His Lordship. Even I am not sure as to what the Magical Beast is. However, it looks like it should at least be a powerful Level Surpassing Magical Beast!”

n…

nThe group slipped into a discussion as they looked at the Five-clawed Dragon baring its fangs on the flag. Some said that this was an already extinct ancient dragon, while others said that it was a deep sea Giant Python, some even claimed it to be an Underworldly Demon Dragon… There were many different opinions.

n“Why does it feel like I have seen a Magical Beast like that somewhere?”

nWhile the group were curiously engaging in a discussion, only the Dark Dragon King that had taken a human form remained silent, knitting his brows as he tried his best to recall the long history. For some reason, he felt as though he had seen a Magical Beast like that before, but could not remember where at the moment.

n“That is a Five-clawed Golden Dragon, a true dragon!” Thinking back to the hundred Golden Giant Dragons that looked like a sack of limp bones, Yang Ling pouted and continued, “In my hometown, my tribespeople called all of them ‘Descendants of the Dragon’. These Five-clawed Golden Dragons are the guardian deities of my homeland. Their abilities are not as simple as that of a Level Surpassing Magical Beast!”

nYang Ling had instantly thought of the lifelike Five-clawed Golden Dragon on the Wizard Pagoda when Ashnamov had looked for him to discuss about the military flag. The Golden Giant Dragons and Dark Dragons on the Tailun Continent were powerful, but they looked nothing like the giant dragons in his heart as they relied on their wings to fly. They seemed far less powerful than the Five-clawed Golden Dragons he knew well in his heart.

nSoaring the heavens and swallowing the clouds…

nAfter witnessing the giant dragons with wings in this world, looking at the lifelike Five-clawed Golden Dragon at the top of the Wizard’s Pagoda, Yang Ling felt a sense of familiarity along with his shock. Thus, he had decided to use the image of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon for the flag, making it the totem of the Magical Beast Territory.

nMore powerful than a Level Surpassing Magical Beast?

nHearing Yang Ling say this, then looking at the imposing Five-clawed Golden Dragon on the flag, the group became incredibly shocked. Above the Level Surpassing Magical Beasts were the legendary Divine-level Magical Beasts.

n“Tsk tsk, Divine-level Magical Beasts, my god!”

n“It’s no wonder that even the arrogant Church would not dare offend the Magical Beast Territory, so this is the case. If they aggravated His Lordship, he might level the Holy Mountain of the Church in the blink of an eye by summoning a Divine-level giant dragon!”

n“That’s right, as long as we summoned a few Divine-level giant dragons, which insolent fool would dare come cause trouble at the Magical Beast Territory?”

nThe group engaged in an excited discussion, thinking about how the hundred Golden Giant Dragons had left depressed the other day, as well as the Chief Elder and the elder from the Elven Divine Temple coming to congratulate Yang Ling. They once again convinced themselves that there must be an extremely powerful family backing Yang Ling.

nThe process of levelling up for Magical Beasts were far harder than that of a human. However, after fortunately being able to level up, their abilities were not just a little stronger than a human at the same level!

nNot only did the news of Yang Ling’s family having a Divine-level Magical Beast make the soldiers excited, it made them fearless, as though they had just consumed a Heart Stabilizing Pill. At this time, they wouldn’t hesitate even if Yang Ling got them to attack the Holy Mountain of the Church, much less exterminate a bunch of merciless pirates.

nDescendants of the Dragon?

nCould what His Lordship be talking about the legendary…

nYang Ling’s words meant more to the Dark Dragon King than he intended. The heart of the Dark Dragon King shook when he heard Yang Ling call them the Descendants of the Dragon. After patting his head, he finally recalled an event that had happened while he was young.

nBack then, he was still a little dragon that could not fly high in the sky, no matter how hard he tried, and was attending a ceremony that was held once in a century at the Palace of the Dragon God with the leader of the Dark Dragon tribe. Before he left, he faintly overheard the Holy Dragon mention something about the Descendants of the Dragon, as well as something called the Graveyard of Deities and Demons. He also caught a faint glimpse of a statue of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon.

nCould the family behind the leader be connected to the legendary Graveyard of Deities and Demons?

nSeeing Yang Ling chatting with someone not far away, the Dark Dragon King suddenly had a thought. Over the millennia, there had always been rumors about the Graveyard of Deities and Demons between the tribes of giant dragons.

nSome said that the Graveyard of Deities and Demons were a graveyard for giant dragons, with hundreds of thousands of ancient giant dragons buried there; Some said that the Graveyard of Deities and Demons were a place where evil demons roamed, with no life around…

nIt looks like he had to find a time to head back to the Dark Dragon Valley, or directly head to the Palace of the Dragon God to understand the relevant situation!

nThe Dark Dragon King arrived at a decision after a moment’s deliberation. Ever since he became responsible for defending the underground city, he had not returned to the Dark Dragon Valley in over eight thousand years. If his father would allow it, he hoped to bring his friends of the past over to the Magical Beast Territory.

nEven though he had only stayed by Yang Ling’s side for a few months, he had already felt an unprecedented sense of excitement, and his abilities had improved at an unbelievable rate. He believed that life would get even more exciting if he brought a bunch of friends over!

nThe fleet had a smooth sailing journey, and coupled with the acceleration of the wind element Magical Spell Formation, they reached the Cape of Good Hope just a few days later. From far away, the group saw the boundless forest.

nUnlike the mountainous Terras Forest that was perpetually covered in snow, many parts of the Amazon Forest were a flat plain. The forest stayed green throughout the year, typical of a tropical rainforest. Even though there were rivers of varying sizes littered all around the forest, they were all a great distance apart. The group could feel the humidity assaulting them.

n“Oh, what’s that, where did such a large sea turtle carrying that many people come from?”

nJust as the three ships were breaking the waves and quickly steering toward the naturally formed Jaboli Bay, a lookout suddenly shouted from the mast. Under his guidance, the group looked over to see a giant sea turtle crawling on the beach, hiding within the litter of pebbles. One would not have seen it if they weren’t looking closely.

n“Not good, pirates!”

n“Sir, Jaboli Town is being looted by a large group of pirates!”

n…

nAs the large ship got closer, a few of the lookout shouted as they reported what they saw. On the tall mast, they saw a large group of pirates maniacally massacring the townspeople. Some were wielding heavy axes, barging into homes with a mean expression; Some wielded twin blades, killing everyone they saw; Some had torches in their hand, committing arson everywhere they went.

nJust like Wissen Town, the townspeople of Jaboli had spirit. Unfortunately, they were like a bunch of scattered sand, each one of them fighting for themselves. They were no match for the pirates who worked perfectly with each other, no matter how brave they were.

nNot only were the retaliation from a group of townspeople useless, they instead ignited the primal nature within the pirates. The pirates killed everyone they came across, not letting off even the elderly and children. The women were even worse off, their clothes maniacally ripped to shreds by the pirates.
