Strength Greatly Increased

"Then according to what you're saying, this undead disaster was started by the goblins?" Hearing the Great Golden Roc's words, Huang Long frowned.

"Yes, that's right. Aside from a few who had always kept out of worldly affairs or were relatively close to the elves, most of us magical beasts did not participate," the Great Golden Roc said with a smile.

"Where did you learn about these things?" Huang Long was still curious. The Great Golden Roc should never have left Spirit Island, so how could it possibly know these things? This was indeed a major point of doubt. Yet the Great Golden Roc spoke with such confidence that it did not seem to be lying.

"Honored chieftain of the elf faction, it is like this. Spirit Island opens once every year, and those beings from the outside world come to this island for the Leaf of Life. However, only three people may enter each time. The outside forces are quite mixed; even the area closest to here has many factions gathered there. Moreover, entry is restricted to those below level 7, so very few level 7 or above come here. But there are many of us here, so they do not dare openly fight us for the only two Leaves of Life produced each year. Thus, they made an agreement with us: one Leaf of Life would be divided among us magical beasts, while the other would go to them. That way, there would not be too many conflicts that caused grievous casualties on both sides. After all, although we are powerful here, once we leave this place, we are nothing."

"The! Main! Point!" Huang Long gritted his teeth, suppressing the urge to roll the Great Golden Roc into a ball.

"Alright, alright!" Seeing Huang Long's expression, the Great Golden Roc understood what he meant and immediately changed its tune.

"I obtained that copy of History of the Continent from them by accident."

"How did you get it?" Huang Long asked, holding back his anger.

"Those guys are greed incarnate. In order to seize that Leaf of Life, they sometimes started infighting. They would toss the corpses aside, along with piles of miscellaneous items. Though I have no idea when they brought so much stuff with them." The Great Golden Roc spoke with feigned sentimentality. It seemed that even after getting its revenge, this Great Golden Roc was still as irritating as ever—or perhaps it was still pretending.

"What about that book? Is it still there?" Huang Long asked.

"It is still in my nest, honored chieftain of the elf faction. Do you need me to fetch it?"

"Go on. I'll wait here." Huang Long waved a hand, sat on a tree branch, and closed his eyes to rest.

"Screech!" The Great Golden Roc let out a resounding cry, flapped its wings, and flew away from the Night Elf faction's territory.

A moment later, Huang Long opened his eyes, a glint flashing through them.

Were the Great Golden Roc's words true? If they were, why did I always feel that something was wrong? What exactly happened two thousand years ago? And what happened one thousand years ago? What did all of this have to do with my appearance?

Huang Long rubbed his temples again, easing his exhausted mind. Subconsciously, he opened his full status panel.

Seeing this, Huang Long smiled. This battle had been extremely brutal. Of the nearly thirty archers they originally had, only thirteen remained, but most of them were elites, their combat strength greater than before. Such strength was already formidable. Clearly, after killing the level 7 magical beast Purple Savage Elephant, they had received benefits that forcibly broke them through to level 6. They even possessed two powerful beings capable of matching level 7, as well as the level 7 magical beast Great Golden Roc under his command.

In that case, he would be absolutely unstoppable on this island. He could mine all its resources without restraint and produce troops without any misgivings.

At this thought, blazing flames ignited in Huang Long's eyes, seeming as though they could melt the sun above his head. They were dazzling beyond compare.

"Now, I should get some proper rest..." Huang Long slowly closed his eyes again and fell into a deep sleep.

"Lord Yudian, look at the master..." Archer Ina saw Huang Long sleeping on the ground and wanted to wake him, but Demon Hunter Yudian stopped her.

"Let the master rest for a while. I can sense that his heart is exhausted to the limit. Tell the others not to disturb him. If anything comes up, come to me," Demon Hunter Yudian said expressionlessly.

"Lord Yudian, you..." Archer Captain Ina looked at Demon Hunter Yudian in disbelief. "What did you call the master just now?"

"That's right, you did not hear wrong. I did indeed call him master just now." A faint smile appeared on Demon Hunter Yudian's face as he slowly said, "He now has the qualifications to earn my acknowledgment."
