Chapter Title: Eighth-Level Behemoth, Domain's Might
After Li Fei left, Chen Chu arrived at the edge of the balcony.
The setting sun hung low in the west, and the last rays of the sun pierced through the distorted spatial barrier, casting a fiery red hue over the undulating mountains, resembling flames burning brightly.
Coupled with the neatly arranged terraces below and the harvesters finishing their work, Chen Chu felt an inexplicable illusion of civilization intertwining with the wild.
As he admired the sunset scenery, Chen Chu suddenly felt a shift in his consciousness, which drifted toward the Thunder Blaze Giant Beast.
After wandering through the ocean for a few days, the Unicorn Orca finally discovered something good.
However, this time it was not in the deep sea, but on a deserted island in the offshore waters.
The island was not large, covered in dense vegetation, weeds, and home to a small hill with a waterfall, inhabited by some ordinary mutated creatures.
Below the surface of the surrounding sea lay reefs, occasionally revealing themselves with the tides.
In such conditions, a large marine creature could easily become stranded if it was not careful.
A few kilometers off the shore, the Thunder Blaze Giant Beast raised its head to look at the distant island, hesitating: "Roar! Big Horn, are you sure there's something good on that island?"
It was aware that the Unicorn Orca's horn could filter seawater, detecting heavenly materials and earthly treasures from far away, but when did it start filtering air as well?
Beside it, the Unicorn Tiger Kun, covered in black armor, swung its tail and nodded confidently: "Ying Ying Ying!! Yes, I smell something good, and it’s really good."
"Roar!! When did your horn start smelling air?"
After spending time with the Thunder Blaze Giant Beast, the Unicorn Orca learned many words, like 'air,' which refers to the 'gas' it breathes when surfacing.
"Ying Ying Ying!! It’s not air, it’s water. The island has water flowing down, so I smelled it."
"Alright, I see." The Thunder Blaze Giant Beast nodded.
Nearby, the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle poked its head above the surface, looking excitedly at the distant island: "Roar! Thunder Blaze, should we go?"
It had never been on 'land' before.
The Thunder Blaze Giant Beast growled: "This time it’s just us going up. Be cautious, places like this usually have mutated creatures guarding them."
"Roar! Also, mutated creatures on land are more agile, so you won't be able to catch up. Your main task is to be a shield and absorb their attacks."
"Roar!! No problem, I’m good at that." The Deep Sea Dragon Turtle nodded confidently.
It was just about taking hits; it had gotten used to it after roaming the ocean for so long.
"Ying Ying Ying!! What about me? What about me?" The Unicorn Orca hurriedly asked.
"Roar! You? ...Go to the cliff on the back side of the island to provide support. If the mutated creatures on the island are too strong, we might need to jump down from above."
Although the Thunder Blaze Giant Beast was confident in its strength, that did not mean it was arrogant.
Without knowing the strength of the mutated creatures that might exist on the island, everything had to be cautious; what if it was guarded by an eighth-level peak behemoth?
As for ninth-level creatures, those standing at the pinnacle naturally exuded a certain might that deterred all, making them easy to detect in advance.
"Ying Ying Ying!! Okay."
After confirming their respective 'missions,' the Thunder Blaze Giant Beast let out a low growl, its massive body suddenly moving, stirring up violent waves as it swam toward the small island.
At that moment, the surface of the shallow waters around the island suddenly heaved, and then a splash erupted as a behemoth over thirty-six meters long, standing over ten meters tall at the shoulder, emerged from the sea.
Unlike crocodiles and similar creatures, the Thunder Blaze Giant Beast had a middle section resembling a Western dragon, powerful and imposing, with long and robust limbs.
