The creature born from the Corpse Refinement Synthetic Beast Array is naturally no ordinary being.

Besides the bottle of dragon blood contributed by Saine, Lina also added a considerable amount of flesh and blood from level one creatures during the process of refining these four little guys.

Many of these were the victims that Saine and Lina had hunted in the Knight Continent Trial Zone over the years.

They received nourishment from high-quality flesh and blood, and were also given energy by the Corpse Refinement Synthetic Formation.

In Lina's eyes, these four little guys all have at least the qualifications to challenge for the top tier.

The Hai Xi, which is at the forefront, should have even greater potential!

Perhaps because it absorbed a lot of dragon blood, Hai Xi not only has two chubby little horns on its forehead, but also similar rudimentary fleshy wings on both sides of its back.

Saine knew that some powerful Sea Lizardmen possessed the ability to fight on land, sea, and air.

If the future development path of Hai Xi goes smoothly, it should also be able to embark on this path of becoming a strong nation.

The four baby Sea Lizard, who had just returned from the depths of the jungle, did not come back empty-handed.

Hai Xi, the leader, stood at the front without carrying anything, but her three underlings behind her carried a special magical beast that looked like both a deer and a bear.

The Bear Deer's right eye socket had completely burst, and its brain matter had turned into a mess.

There is a clear fist mark around its eye socket.

By observing the remaining bone fragments on Hai Xi's left fist, it's not hard to guess who was the main force that killed this Bear Deer.

Hai Xi is a little guy who loves strength, and he's also left-handed.

The four little guys in front of me are only five years old this year.

However, its specific power level has reached that of Intermediate Magical Beast.

When the four little ones team up, they dare to go toe-to-toe with high-level magical beasts.

For example, this Bear Deer that has lost its life force should be at the level of a high-level magical beast.

"Alright, I'll put this Bear Deer away for now. We should leave," said Saine, as he put the four- or five-meter-long magical beast, which was being carried by the three-headed Sea Lizard, into his Space Ring.

Although the four baby Sea Lizard in front of them were growing very fast, they did not possess any Mental Strength communication skills or any talent for using Mental Strength; they were simply strong.

Therefore, the four little ones cannot yet use equipment such as Space Ring.

Even the four little ones, at this time, had very little knowledge of the common language of the Wizard World.

Even now, he can only barely communicate with Saine and Lina, using simple words like father and Mother.

Lina deduced that this situation might be related to the Corpse Synthesis Array.

The powerful corpse-refining magic array granted these four little ones innate divine strength and extremely high abilities, but it also had some negative effects on them in other aspects. →

The lack of Mental Strength and intellectual development is the most obvious manifestation of this.

There are no perfect creatures in the world. Even if there were near-perfect Corpse Refinement Synthetic Beast, they would definitely not be something that Lina could create in her current state.

Saine and Lina were generally satisfied with the four loyal and rather simple-minded little Sea Lizard.

The only thing that bothered and made Saine uncomfortable was that all four little ones called him father.

Rather than saying they gained four more godsons, it's more accurate to say they gained four more little pets.

Considering their potential and Lina's good intentions, Saine approved of them.

The four little guys moved quickly, and at almost the same time that Saine put away the Bear Deer, they spread out around Saine and Lina like hunting dogs with a keen sense of smell.

The wildness they develop from being raised in the jungle from a young age allows them to sense danger and the approach of powerful creatures in advance.

This perception is very similar to Saine's Mental Strength probing, but strangely, the Mental Strength values of the four little ones are all very low, and they haven't broken through 15 yet.

They exchanged a glance with Lina and continued heading northwest into the jungle.

Since the outbreak of the Beast Tide, life in the Knight Continent Trial Zone has not been as peaceful as it was in the first ten years.

Almost every few days, they would encounter a large-scale Beast Tide.

Smaller shocks occur every day.

In order to gain some rest and regrouping time, Saine and his men could only focus on finding the weak points of the Beast Tide in the jungle.

It has been almost half a year since Saine encountered any other Knight or Mage in the Trial Zone.

I don't know how the other trial participants are doing, or if anyone has already been expelled from the Trial Zone.

It's worth mentioning that four years ago, Saine and Lina met Angle again.

This level Komoyin Giant Serpent Warlock has not stopped growing over the years.

At least Saine felt that the opponent's strength and the threat he posed had not diminished much.

There are many benefits to befriending Mage with such great strength and potential.

On that occasion, Saine exchanged a considerable amount of rare resources he had acquired in the Trial Zone with the other party.

In the evening, Saine chose the top of a giant tree canopy as a temporary resting place.

After Saine whistled, the four baby Sea Lizard transformed into a black shadow and rushed towards him.

Element Vortex more than a meter high appeared in front of them, and the four little guys went in one by one.

"Take a good rest. I've prepared some food for you inside," Saine said.

A hissing response came, which seemed to be the language of the Sea Lizard. Saine didn't study it in depth, but the four little guys could understand each other.

Hai Xi was the last to enter. It was more intelligent than the other three, and even bowed its head slightly to Saine, saying in broken Wizard World, "Goodnight, Father."

Only after seeing Saine nod did Hai Xi enter the vortex.

The four little guys, including Hai Xi, usually live in the manned Space Equipment that Saine specially built for them.

In layman's terms, this is a large-sized dragon flute, and structurally it is almost identical to the Space Flute that Owl Little Qi lives in.

It's strange, they're both manned Space Equipment.

After Saine entered the Knight Continent Trial Zone, he was unable to summon Owl Little Qi, Construct Master Yuli, and Mermaid Ilisa from their Space Equipment.

However, the living space later created for Hai Xi and the others did not affect the four little guys' ability to come and go.

After communicating with Lina, Lina concluded that it might be related to the fundamental rules of the Knight Continent.

"The Power of Rules is a realm that only beings of level four and above can access; we are not even qualified to study them right now."

"The reason they don't let you activate the manned Space Equipment brought from the outside world is probably because the rule-makers of the Knight Continent don't want the trial participants to bring in other life forms by smuggling them in," Lina said.

"How much has your Mental Strength grown recently? And about the magic matrix we discussed last night, do you have any new ideas?" Saine asked casually.

At the top of the enormous tree canopy, in a makeshift hollow, Saine and Lina continued their Truth Exploration.
