Beast Tide and Hai Xi

Life in the Knight Continent Trial Zone always passes quickly. →

Perhaps it wasn't that time passed quickly, but rather that Saine felt the time he spent with Lina flew by.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye since the Darkness Crystal Magic Staff was completed.

Inside the metal tent, Saine stood in front of the Crystal Ball, examining his various data.

Mental Strength: 9

Magic Power: 12

Physical condition: 77

Elemental Affinity: 87%

Dark Elemental Affinity: 43%

Light Elemental Affinity: 51%

The data on Saine recorded in the Crystal Ball is more accurate and detailed than before. This is because Saine is also improving and enhancing the functions of the Crystal Ball, and his data collection is more scientific and rigorous.

In the short span of fifteen years since arriving on the Knight Continent, Saine's Mental Strength, Magic Power, and other indicators are all approaching the six hundred mark.

While Mental Strength and Magic Power power are not the decisive factors in judging whether a Mage is powerful, knowledge is more important to Mage.

However, it is undeniable that the basic standard for reaching the level of Second-Level Magician in the Wizard World is that both Mental Strength and Magic Power exceed one thousand, and that one can successfully cast a second-level spell.

The acquisition of knowledge allows Mage to increase their Mental Strength and Magic Power power more quickly. →

In particular, the breakthrough of each elemental problem and the birth of each new spell bring about a subtle transformation of the Spellcaster's Mental Strength.

With his current Mental Strength and Magic Power power, Saine is almost at the threshold of becoming a level one late-stage Mage.

But in fact, more than a decade ago, Saine was already capable of going toe-to-toe with a top-tier level Mage.

This is the power of knowledge!

"The Knight Continent Trial are still ongoing. I wonder if my Mental Strength and Magic Power power will reach the level of a peak first-level Mage when I leave the Knight Continent," Saine muttered to himself, looking at the Crystal Ball in front of him.

"We should go. The next Beast Tide is coming soon." The metal tent was suddenly pulled open, and Lina, dressed in a black robe, walked in.

Nodding, Saine put away the simple Laboratory Table and Crystal Ball in front of him, and walked outside the tent with Lina.

In Saine's memory, the "Beast Tide" in the Knight Continent Trial Zone began three years ago, which was the twelfth year since Saine and the other trial participants entered the Knight Continent. Before that, Saine was quite curious as to why those Level 1 Knight and Mage were forced to leave after only ten or twenty years on the Knight Continent.

It's important to know that the normal operating time for the Knight Continent Trial Zone is one hundred years!

Now that Saine knows, putting aside other factors, the Beast Tide sweeping across the Trial Zone alone is forcing the trial participants in the Trial Zone to leave as soon as possible.

The direction the Beast Tide forced all the trial participants to retreat to was located in the southeast of the Trial Zone. →

Saine guessed that the Great Gate to leave the Trial Zone might be in that direction.

As a Mage with ideals and ambitions, Saine certainly didn't want to leave the Trial Zone in such a cowardly manner.

Therefore, in the face of the constant onslaught of the Beast Tide, Saine and Lina did the opposite and headed northwest towards the Trial Zone.

Over the years, Saine felt that he and his companions had reached the center of this Trial Zone.

Or rather, Saine had this feeling three years ago.

After all, it was just Trial Zone prepared for some level one creatures. Saine had been in this Trial Zone for more than ten years and had never seen any other level two or higher Knight or Mage.

Therefore, the area of this Trial Zone could not possibly be excessively large.

The reason he continues to head north is partly to resist the Beast Tide, and partly because he has never been to most of the northern regions.

Many of the species specimens here are quite different from those that Saine had encountered and collected over the previous decade or so.

The Knight Continent is practically a rich gene pool of species. Even though Saine has never slacked off for over a decade, the rare species specimens he has collected are probably only a drop in the ocean compared to the entire Knight Continent.

Furthermore, Saine had discussed this with Lina, and he believed that the Knight Continent was divided into many Trial Zone, and these Trial Zone must be interconnected.

I wonder what's going on in the Trial Zone next door?

They also had no idea which level of powerhouses the adjacent Trial Zone was prepared for.

It was this curiosity and unwillingness to give up that drove Saine and Lina to continue moving in their chosen direction.

Fortunately Saine, there were only two of them, making them a smaller target, and both of them were among the top-tier beings in the first level.

The pressure they faced during the counterattack against the Beast Tide was still within their capabilities.

As Saine finished packing and loaded the metal tent behind him into his Space Equipment, Lina said, "Wait a little longer, Hai Xi and the others will be back soon."

As soon as Lina finished speaking, four small blue-green creatures nimbly leaped around high in the jungle and finally appeared in front of Saine.

The four little creatures in front of me are less than a meter tall, with heads like lizards, but they walk upright.

It has cheek-like organs on both sides of its face, and its body is covered with a layer of fine scales.

A long, thin tail droops behind it, and there are barbs on the tail.

These four little guys were the four Sea Lizard Egg that Saine had acquired from the Sea Lizard Tribe back in the Endless South Sea for a high price of one Magic Coin.

The four Sea Lizard Egg have all hatched into the four baby Sea Lizard in front of you.

Furthermore, the blood energy fluctuations of these four baby Sea Lizard were significantly greater than those of Sea Lizard of the same age in the Endless South Sea.

The reason for this situation is that the energy elements on the Knight Continent are incredibly abundant, unlike the barren trenches inhabited by the Sea Lizard Tribe.

On the other hand, it was because during the incubation process of these four Sea Lizard, Lina personally used various blood sacrifice methods for creating Corpse Refinement Synthetic Beast.

The four baby Sea Lizard in front of us can no longer be called purebred Sea Lizard.

Because they were being refined while still in their Sea Lizard Egg state, a lot of precious resources that Saine and Lina had on hand were added.

Saine even took out a bottle of dragon blood, most of which went into the four Sea Lizard in front of him, especially the leader standing at the very front.

The one standing at the very front of the four baby Sea Lizard has a more bluish scale color, while the other three are more greenish.

Thanks to its outstanding power and good potential, Lina personally named it Hai Xi.

The other three baby Sea Lizard also had names, but they were clearly not as valued by Saine and Lina as Hai Xi.

Saine still remembered that Hai Xi was the son of the chief of that Sea Lizardmen tribe, a pure first-level biological descendant.

However, the Hai Xi before them had nothing to do with that Sea Lizardman Chieftain anymore.

For creatures hatched from eggs, the most important thing is the first person they see after hatching.

The first person the four baby Sea Lizard saw after hatching was Lina, who presided over the altar for Corpse Refinement Synthetic Beast. Naturally, Lina was their mother.

Saine was the second one they saw, and given his close relationship with Lina, he naturally became their father Sea Lizard.

"These are gifts I gave you," Lina said breathlessly, leaning against Saine, her Magic Power depleted.
