Chapter 139: Boss, I've Grown Stronger
"That should be the case."
"Shh, keep your voice down. Don’t let it be drawn to the tribe."
"If it cos, we won't be able to stop it anyway."
At this mont, there was a commotion in the distant waters.
The once calm surface of the water suddenly splashed violently.
A massive Swamp Crocodile King erged from beneath the surface.
Its enormous body moved through the water like a small island.
Standing on the ice, Li ng gazed at Yue E approaching from a distance.
Yue E had grown!
In the past, Yue E was only long, not large.
Now, Yue E was both long and massive.
It had grown to an astonishing length of sixty ters.
Its body had also beco much sturdier, resembling a mountain of flesh.
Even when crawling on land, its shoulder height was nearly seven ters.
[Swamp Crocodile King (King)]
[Level: 4]
[Strength: 2137]
[Defense: 2397]
[Agility: 1917]
[Magic: 2719]
[Water Cannon: LV1]
The stats on Yue E's panel made Li ng's eyes light up.
After a year, Yue E had advanced.
Its stats had doubled.
Its magic attribute had even quadrupled.
The sudden surge in Yue E's magic was unusual.
Could it have sothing to do with that Water Sli Lake?
"Boss, boss, you're so small!"
Yue E swam to the boss's side, its enormous eyes almost half the size of Li ng himself.
Li ng grinned, opening the bag on his shoulder.
Yue E instinctively opened its ferocious mouth.
Li ng poured the magic crystals from the bag straight into Yue E's mouth.
"Yue E, how did it feel staying in the Water Sli Lake?"
Yue E swallowed hundreds of magic crystals in one gulp.
It shook its enormous head.
"At first, it felt very comfortable. Later, it beca uncomfortable. My body felt bloated, and my scales cracked. So, I left and returned to the Northern Marshlands. Boss, I think I’ve grown stronger!"
Yue E joyfully swam around the boss.
Although it moved slowly and gently, the surrounding waters rippled violently.
Li ng held his large iron rod and pointed eastward.
"Yue E, cast a spell in that direction!"
Yue E followed the direction of the iron rod.
"Boss, my magic is really powerful now!"
Yue E got into position, facing east.
It opened its ferocious mouth.
A blue magical glow shone in its mouth.
A massive water sphere shot out.
The mont it left its mouth, a wave of air burst forth.
The five-ter-wide water sphere tore through the sky.
It traveled a kiloter in an instant.
The massive water sphere struck the water's surface nearly in a straight line.
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion echoed.
A kiloter away, a massive water column rose.
The towering water column resembled a fiery mushroom cloud from an explosion.
Shockwaves visible to the naked eye swept outward.
Waves rolled in all directions.
Its power surpassed even a 460mm naval shell.
"Boss, boss, am I amazing?"
Looking at the spectacular water column in the distance, Li ng grinned.
"Not bad, very strong!"
The Water Cannon skill was leagues ahead of the Water Bullet.
In comparison, the Water Bullet’s power was akin to a water gun.
The difference between the two was night and day.
If Yue E were to attack a human fleet now, it would be quite the spectacle.
A single Water Cannon could completely destroy a human sailing ship.
"What’s happening?"
"It’s the sacrificial beast casting magic!"
"What powerful magic!"
The commotion in the distance caught the attention of the Yue Clan Tribe.
On the eastern wall, the Lizardn watched in terror as the massive water column rose into the sky.
"Yue E, go play on your own. I’ll co visit you again soti!"
"Boss, boss, when can we go on another journey?"
Yue E approached the boss, its enormous eyes eagerly watching him.
It loved going on adventures with the boss.
Hunting and fighting together with the boss was far more fun than staying in the Northern Marshlands.
Li ng grinned, patting the scales on Yue E’s face.
"There will be a chance. In so ti, we’ll need to head to the Black Mountain Marshlands again."
"Great! Boss, I’m going to sunbathe now!"
Yue E joyfully swam toward the shallow waters in the distance.
Watching Yue E’s massive figure leave, Li ng grinned.
The stronger Yue E beca, the more helpful it would be to him.
The Goblin race lacked true powerhouses.
In the future, he couldn’t be the only one.
It was necessary to cultivate powerful magical beast underlings.
Unfortunately, the Goblin Forest didn’t have any magical beasts with extraordinary talent.
Magical beasts above the fifth tier were even rarer.
Thinking of this issue, Li ng frowned slightly.
Over the past year, the Goblin Forest had felt very strange to him.
Despite its vastness, he had not encountered a single magical beast above the fifth tier.
In terms of magical beast ranking, those below the fifth tier were ordinary.
The fifth tier corresponded to the elite level.
The sixth tier was the king level, and so on.
The Swamp Turtle King he encountered a year ago was an eighth-tier magical beast.
This was extrely unusual.
Logically, the deeper one ventured into the Goblin Forest, the stronger the magical beasts should beco.
Yet the opposite was true.
The deeper he went, the fewer magical beasts there were.
Ordinary animals, however, were everywhere.
Li ng even discovered over ten herds of forest deer and barbarian cattle, each numbering over a thousand.
This indicated that the animal ecosystem in the forest’s depths was thriving.
Li ng considered whether the Swamp Turtle King was the cause.
After all, so magical beasts had a strong territorial sense and wouldn’t tolerate other powerful magical beasts in their domain.
If the Swamp Turtle King regarded the Goblin Forest as its territory, then higher-tier magical beasts might have been forced to leave.
Whether this was true, Li ng couldn’t confirm.
It was rely a hypothesis, and the likelihood was low.
When he encountered the Swamp Turtle King, Yue E had already been a fifth-tier magical beast.
If the Swamp Turtle King truly had territorial awareness, it wouldn’t have ignored Yue E.
"Ah!"
Li ng took a deep breath, forcing himself to abandon such thoughts.
So things couldn’t be resolved by overthinking.
All he could do was wait for developnts.
Standing on the ice, Li ng turned and walked toward the Yue Clan Tribe.
"It’s coming!"
"Quick, inform the chief!"
"Should we open the eastern gate?"
"Of course! Do you think you can keep it out?"
Seeing the Goblin approach, the Lizardn on the wooden walls beca flustered.
So ran toward the tribe.
Others hurried to open the eastern gate.
With the creaking sound of wood, the eastern gate slowly opened.
Outside the gate, Li ng stepped onto the shore from the water.
A long trail of ice was left behind him on the water's surface.
Under the reverent gazes of the Lizardn behind the gate, Li ng entered the tribe at an unhurried pace.
