Without any surprises, all four crocodiles became Xu Yang's resources.

Looking at the four twisted corpses on the ground, Xu Yang fell silent.

So I'm already this strong.

He had never known without comparing. Before, he had been catching fish the whole time, with no reference point to gauge his own strength. But after fighting the four crocodiles—no, it could not even be called a fight... it had been a slaughter. He had won easily without spending much effort.

"System, level up."

Aside from the first major commotion when he crossed over during his initial upgrade, his later upgrades to Apprentice Second Order and Apprentice Level Three had been calm. So Xu Yang simply upgraded while eating, handling both at once.

Crocodile meat was far tastier than silver carp or common carp, and it was not as fishy. But compared to the venison he had eaten before, it was still a whole tier worse. As he ate, Xu Yang's mind raced. He had previously planned to stay here indefinitely, catching fish and quietly leveling up.

But after fighting those four crocodiles, he wanted to change his mind!

He was already this strong. Even if it was more dangerous outside, as long as he did not recklessly court death, he believed he could turn danger into safety. More importantly, thinking back now, the leopard he had encountered on the night he transmigrated was definitely weaker than he was now. Otherwise, he would never have survived that night.

If a leopard weaker than him could live just fine in the forest, what did he have left to fear?

Once he made up his mind, Xu Yang acted immediately. He decided that after this meal, he would leave these hills.

A warm current instantly spread through his body. Xu Yang felt his strength increase significantly again, and the boost brought by the system gave him greater confidence in facing the unknown.

Xu Yang was in the midst of it and did not know the full picture.

The world he was in truly was the world of "Swallowed Star." Unlike the other transmigrators who had been born into humanity, he had descended into the Monster Race.

The region he was in was a stretch of starry sky extending from the border between the Monster Race and the Insect Race, intertwined, desolate, savage, and lawless...

A full 1.2 million light-years of it was a chaotic, mixed region.

This planet, where dusky yellow and pale green intertwined, did not exist on the vast majority of star charts, much less have a name. Only interstellar bandits who rarely passed by once every tens of thousands of years mockingly called it "Navara Star," meaning a barren wasteland.

However, the Monster Race's unique bloodline inheritance allowed even this tiny planet to possess forces of its own.

The Northern Plains, a continent formed entirely from condensed ice, was occupied by a flock of albatrosses. Their leader was an Albatross King with a wingspan exceeding one hundred meters and strength at Stellar Level Six. He had occupied the Northern Plains for over five thousand years!

The Frozen Sea ran through the entire Navara Star, like an emerald ribbon wrapped around its waist. The entire sea was immensely vast, taking up over 30% of Navara Star's surface area. Its unique three-dimensional ecosystem had nurtured life far beyond that on land. The most famous were its four great creatures—the Giant Deep Sea Squid, Cracked Lip Whale King, Illusion Sea Lamp Mother, and Parasitic Wild Algae.

The first three were all enormous creatures that had reached Star Level, each measuring several hundred meters in size. The most outrageous was the Illusion Sea Lamp Mother—one of its tentacles alone exceeded one hundred thousand meters! The last one appeared insignificant, but it was actually the terrifying existence that made countless marine creatures pale at the mention of its name. Individually, Parasitic Wild Algae was not very strong; even in its mature form, it was only at Apprentice Level Three.

But no matter how sturdy a fortress was, it could not guarantee the same strength within! Parasitic Wild Algae was most skilled at sending its young through seawater into the bodies of other marine creatures, using them as incubation beds. It parasitized them and gradually devoured their life force, eventually killing them before bursting out through their bodies. This horrifying method of parasitism left them with almost no natural enemies in the sea, making them the deepest nightmare of countless marine creatures.

If they were not active only in waters above 35 degrees Celsius, the entire Frozen Sea would have been devoid of life!

Between the Northern Plains and the Frozen Sea lay two massive continents—the Dusky Desert and the Verdant Wilds.

Xu Yang had fortunately descended into the Verdant Wilds, becoming a low-level wild wolf.

The two massive continents were home to vast numbers of monsters and countless wild beasts. Xu Yang had once been an ordinary wild beast, but now he could call himself a monster. Though he was only a low-level little monster, he had at least escaped the category of wild beasts.

As one of the Six Great Peak Races of the primordial universe, the Monster Race naturally possessed its own advantages! Information originating from their bloodlines allowed their inheritance to continue forever as long as their descendants did not die out.

Although Navara Star was too desolate to have a mature Monster Race civilization, scattered traces of Monster Race civilization still remained upon it.

In the Verdant Wilds, about seventy thousand kilometers away from Xu Yang.

A towering mountain range stretched across the horizon, like a guardian of the starry sky, standing silently upon this land. Under the morning sun, its outline appeared majestic and mysterious. The mountains displayed varying shades of emerald green, as though countless pieces of jade had been set together, gleaming brilliantly.

The mountaintops were shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. Like a mysterious veil, they drifted gently at times and surged violently at others. Sunlight pierced through the clouds, falling upon the mountain peaks and forming streams of golden light that added a few points of sanctity and solemnity to the range.

The mountain range towered high, piercing the heavens.

Amid the swirling clouds and mist, faint traces of a somewhat primitive civilization could be seen.

This was the territory of the Azure-Eyed Baboons. As rulers of this mountain range, they had built a unique Monster Race society with their outstanding intelligence and strength. Their eyes were emerald green like gemstones, their bodies were robust, and their muscles were powerful. Skilled at climbing and jumping, they killed and devoured any uninvited guest who dared covet this mountain range.

Among the rocky cliffs were crude caves, clearly the homes of the Azure-Eyed Baboons. Branches growing from the rocks served as their stairs for leaving and returning home.

All of this still revealed the primitiveness of beasts, but at the center of the Jade Crystal Mountain Range, within a flat depression roughly five thousand meters in diameter, stood a palace built from natural rocks and timber.

This palace was the most sacred and solemn place of the Azure-Eyed Baboon tribe, as well as the site where they held important ceremonies and events. Inside, it was decorated with totems and murals sketched in red clay. These totems and murals not only displayed the history and culture of the Azure-Eyed Baboons, but also proved that they truly possessed a civilization of their own!

"Roar, roar, roar~~~~"

A deep cry came from the depths of the palace. A gigantic Azure-Eyed Baboon, fully sixteen meters tall and as broad as a city wall, slowly emerged from the shadows.

At the same time, seven slightly smaller figures flew out from caves in the rock walls surrounding the depression, landing lightly in front of the Azure-eyed Baboon King.

"Roar, roar, roar~~"

"Roar, roar, roar~~"
