Resources +1

Hearing the sound of resources being credited in his ear, accompanied by the howling wind as he plummeted at high speed, Xu Yang finally relaxed.

Though the battle had seemed to end in just a few moves, it had actually been quite dangerous. If he had not drawn a domain from the system, then as a Planet Level Sixth Order facing a Planet Level Eighth Order, he would have been more likely to lose and die.

Just as he was about to crash into the ground, Xu Yang abruptly stopped, letting the Flood Dragon's corpse slam into the forest with a crackling chorus of snapping branches.

He slowly descended to the ground and looked at his spoils, unable to keep from grinning broadly.

Joking aside, this was a Flood Dragon!

Dragon meat—this was the first time he had ever had it in both his lives.

What a pity. It would have been even better if it were a true dragon... Uh, it seemed the world of Swallowed Star didn't have true dragons...

Always wanting more, Xu Yang felt a bit regretful. He would soon find out what Flood Dragon meat tasted like, but true dragon meat was something he would never know.

"Pssh~~"

Xu Yang's wolf claw pierced through the wound in the Flood Dragon's neck. He then hooked its flesh and blood and shot into the air!

The silver wolf, over ten meters long, flew through the sky while hauling a Flood Dragon nearly seventy meters long beneath him—a truly astonishing sight.

Xu Yang only wanted to return home and find out what Flood Dragon meat tasted like. He had no interest in the shock of the other demon beasts hiding in the forest. As for the two strange bull demon beasts he had caught earlier?

Now that he had dragon meat, why the hell would he eat beef?!

Lightning Strike Mountain Range, Xu Yang's home.

The Brown Bear busily washed fruits and melons by the pond. It did not know why its boss wanted fruit washed before eating it, but since its boss had requested it, it would naturally comply as a subordinate.

Clusters of bright red grapes as large as eggs, green bear fruits that tasted like cassava, golden monkey peaches covered in fine fuzz... There were nearly ten varieties in all. During this time, it had become Xu Yang's personal chef.

Every day, it searched for all kinds of delicious ingredients within the territory Xu Yang had marked out. Intimidated by Xu Yang's aura, there was little danger within the territory. Many foods that the Brown Bear had once coveted but that had been occupied by other demon beasts were now found by it one after another.

Compared with the old days, when it had to fight desperately just to occasionally eat demon beast meat, the Brown Bear was immensely satisfied with its current life. As long as it served its boss well, it could eat delicious demon beast organs every day, and its cultivation progress had accelerated by who knew how many times.

"Roar!"

While swaying its large rear, the Brown Bear arranged the washed watermelon-like fruits on clean banana leaves. Then it roared at a capybara that had sneaked over to the pond for a drink, frightening it half to death and sending it scrambling back into the forest on all fours.

"Grrr~~~"

A delighted smile appeared on the Brown Bear's fat face. In the past, that capybara would never have escaped its claws. It was at least twenty or so pounds of meat. But now, it no longer cared for the meat of such wild beasts. Scaring the capybara out of its wits brought it even more joy!

Now that its material life had improved, it finally had the leisure to pursue spiritual enjoyment.

As it turned around, a tearing whistle of wind suddenly came from the sky.

An even brighter smile immediately spread across the Brown Bear's face, because it was the sound of its boss returning from a hunt.

It hurried over to greet him.

Boom!

The dull sound of a heavy object hitting the ground even sent the Brown Bear, which had been lying on the ground to welcome Xu Yang, bouncing several centimeters into the air.

The Brown Bear curiously raised its head.

An eyeball larger than its head entered its vision, staring straight at it. The once crystal-clear vertical pupil had already become slightly clouded.

"Rooaaargh—"

Startled into jumping up, the Brown Bear had never seen such a terrifying creature before. Its head alone was larger than the Brown Bear's entire body, and one eyeball was the size of its head.

Whoosh!

Seeing the Brown Bear's slightly terrified expression, Xu Yang could not help but find it amusing as he descended.

This Brown Bear really had a knack for being a comic relief.

"Roar."

Xu Yang gave a low roar, asking whether his underling had prepared the fruit.

The Brown Bear immediately understood. It turned and trotted a few steps, then dragged several large banana leaves out from beneath the shade of a tree as if presenting treasures. The leaves were piled high with all kinds of fruit.

Xu Yang nodded in satisfaction. The Brown Bear always handled things exactly as he liked.

Since it had pleased him, it deserved a reward.

"Roar... roar."

Hearing Xu Yang's roar, the Brown Bear's eyes lit up in surprise. It had not expected to receive a share of this Planet Level demon beast's flesh and blood. Before meeting Xu Yang, let alone eating Planet Level demon beast meat, it had never even had the chance to approach a Planet Level demon beast from close range!

But now, it had Xu Yang as its boss.

Looking at the Flood Dragon lying before it, still emitting an aura terrifying to bears, the Brown Bear no longer felt afraid. Instead, saliva began to pour madly from its mouth!

Today, this old bear was going to be a dragon-slaying hero too!

Having received Xu Yang's permission, it immediately stepped forward eagerly, intending to gut the Flood Dragon.

Xu Yang found his little Brown Bear's dedication as a chef rather amusing.

This is a Planet Level Flood Dragon. Do you really think an Apprentice Fifth Order like you can even break through its defenses?

As expected, Brown Bear charged in with an air of going all out, but the moment its claws scraped across the Flood Dragon's densely packed belly scales... they slipped. Even without Origin Power reinforcing them, the thin layer of grease on the Flood Dragon's scales still provided formidable protection.

"Roar!"

Refusing to believe it, Brown Bear climbed back to its feet. This time, it took aim, driving both bear paws viciously into the gaps between the scales!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Sparks flew from its claws all the way, bursting into a brilliant shower of fire.

If Brown Bear had meme reactions in its mind, it would definitely have been "Fuck." Seeing its dazed expression, Xu Yang finally stopped standing by and stepped in himself.

Unlike Brown Bear, the gleaming silver wolf claws wrapped in light cyan Origin Power were like four razor-sharp dinner knives. With the slightest exertion, they sliced through the Flood Dragon's scales. A ripping sound rang out, carrying the smooth, effortless sensation of a utility knife cutting paper.

Before long, Xu Yang had cut open every part of the Flood Dragon except its head.

What puzzled Xu Yang was that whenever he had previously gutted prey, blood would always flow everywhere, leaving the ground a complete mess. Yet while dealing with this Flood Dragon's corpse these past few days, barely any blood had flowed out... How strange.

But Xu Yang was not one to dwell on things. He immediately began showing off his knife skills!

With one clean, decisive stroke, he severed the Flood Dragon's head. It rolled away with a rumble, revealing a roughly cylindrical cross-section more than five meters in diameter. Looking down, Xu Yang finally understood why no blood had seeped from the Flood Dragon.

The five-meter-wide cross-section was constantly emitting cold air. All the blood had frozen solid, and the entire exposed surface displayed the richly layered marbling of snowflake beef.

Fuck, it wasn't bled. Don't ruin such good Flood Dragon meat!

The expression on Xu Yang's wolf face did not look very good.
