Look! A sneak attack!

As they walked further, the Ice Phoenix suddenly uttered a scream and flapped its wings to fly back. Spiritual power burst forth from its body as it launched a Thousand Miles Freeze, Ice Flame, and Instant Ice Seal attacks. The almost instantaneous terrifying attacks smashed forward, making people flabbergasted by its speed.

“Howl?” Are you kidding me? It's just a mid-level servant which suddenly flew up; did you have to break it into pieces? The cub looked at it exasperatedly. Why was it making such a big fuss?

Su Bai also felt exasperated. Did the bird have to use so many skills just to defeat a mid-level servant?

At the same time, he was shocked that it had become so proficient in the three skills despite it only being a single day. It could even control the power of the skill to kill only this monster, without unnecessary waste and fluctuations in spiritual power.

Was it because of talent?

“Quack.” It is safest to turn opponents into powder in case they have hidden strengths.

The Ice Phoenix defended itself and hid beside its owner.

“Okay, stop making trouble. We have to find a good place to rest as soon as possible.” Su Bai looked up at the sky as he spoke. Daytime was short in winter, so it would be dark in a few hours.

They were still on the beach at the edge of the Sea of Blood, where there were more of his desired monsters. It was also less dangerous and could better hide them.

After searching for hours, he finally found a nice place. It was a scarlet creek mouth, relatively hidden and completely empty.

More importantly, various monsters came over to hunt at the entrance to the sea. Although they were not high level, there were many that came.

After building a simple shelter by the creek, he took out ten sealed scarlet flesh balls from his backpack. These were the subpar Flesh Devourers that he had packed and taken away from the Sleeping Dragon Abyss.

“Howl?” What are you doing, Ah Bai? Disgusted by the flesh balls, the cub stayed far away and asked. The phoenix disguised as a hen also ran under a distant tree, finding it too terrifying.

“Come here and shower these devourers with some Hypnotic Powder; don't let them wake up,” Su Bai said.

He released the dino and the fox at the same time.

“Roar!” Where's the enemy? Who do we have to kill this time?

The Little Tyrant carried a three-meter-long Earth Hammer on its shoulder and looked around for enemies.

According to its experience, other than meals, its owner mostly only released it for battles, which was its favorite entertainment.

Su Bai: “…”

Was it being serious with its big bully expression?

“…Not at the moment, but if you want to fight, you can. Many monsters are lingering at the entrance; you can kill them with your sister dragon. The more you kill, the better,” he instructed.

“Roar~” Leave it to me~

The dino gnawed on an ore and went past him with its sledgehammer.

“Dragon, help me keep those blood monsters, too; don't let them turn into Blood Curses.”

He released his pet dragon from his wrist. Without it, those bloodline monsters would turn into a blood curse when they died.

“Roar~” Leave it to me~

The dragon turned into a bloody shadow and flew away.

“Mewling, you can come and help me hypnotize these ten devourers.”

He motioned the fox.

After letting it and the cub hypnotize the devourers to sleep, he took out ten bottles of scarlet medicine from his backpack.

He poured these bottles one by one into the stone basin dug out and then asked his dragon to get him more blood. Finally, he lifted the seal of the Flesh Devourers and put them into the stone basin.

As soon as they were put in, they began wriggling frantically as if they were alive. Many scarlet tentacles grew in their bodies to absorb the scarlet medicine in just a few minutes.

Their chaotic consciousness was still asleep, but they were devouring the scarlet medicine and blood by instinct.

As they absorbed the medicine, the ten Flesh Devourers quickly experienced drastic changes. Their bodies expanded crazily, and numerous scarlet pipes, along with oozing blood, grew out of them.

“Howl!” What are you doing? It's so disgusting!

The cub could not endure it anymore and raised its paws to pull him.

At this moment, three of the Flesh Devourers exploded with a bang and died, but their flesh and blood were quickly swallowed by the other seven.

With a bang, another one exploded. This continued until the blood on the body of the three remaining also began to dissipate. Su Bai grinned and watched as one more exploded.

In the end, only two survived and they looked no different than before.

However, he understood where the big difference lay. Previously, they were all subpar and could never develop into real Flesh Devourers under normal circumstances. Now, these two had a chance of doing so. They were regarded as Flesh Devourer prototypes as long as they could grow up.

The potion made by him could promote their evolution and completeness by checking their information, but not all of them could be successful.

The reason why he had cultivated them was to place them into the Sea of Blood. If it went well, they could eventually become emperor or even sovereign monsters by swallowing all the flesh and blood in this Sea of Blood.

Nonetheless, no matter how strong the Flesh Devourers became, they would remain blood subordinates of his pet dragon and would have no way of hurting him or the Ancestor Blood Dragon. With that, his entry and exit into the Sea of Blood would be as simple as entering an uninhabited state. If there was any treasure inside, it would all naturally belong to him.

He called this the Sea of Blood Clearance Method.

At the same time, the dragon would have a strong blood subordinate, of which the help was self-evident. Besides, he had a weird habit of fostering strange monsters like this. Anyway, this was not the Blue Planet, so no one could say anything if it destroyed the place at will.

The premise was that these two Flesh Devourers had to grow up, though. If they were killed before they could even start, then he had no other way, either.

“You guys did a great job; you killed so many monsters.”

He walked to the entrance and praised his pets upon seeing monster corpses piled into small hills.

“Roar~” Of course, I don't mess around! 

The smug dino sat on a big rock protruding from the water.

A long bamboo pole was under its buttocks, and a bloody heart hung on the top of it. From time to time, monsters in the sea would jump out of the water trying to grab the food. At that moment, the Earth Hammer in the little dino's hands was dispatched to directly kill the monsters, before it threw their bodies to the shore.

It gnawed on an ore while fishing with an extremely leisurely posture.

Of course, the dragon, which was working more seriously, had many more gains than it.

Without hesitation, Su Bai let the cub throw the two Flesh Devourers into the pile of corpses; their instincts quickly activated and they devoured the flesh and blood.

“Jade, Mewling, please be careful not to wake them up,” he said.

He must first raise these Flesh Devourers to high-level commanders before releasing them.

Fifteen days passed in the blink of an eye, and he moved around ten places before finally raising the Flesh Devourers to high-level commanders.

They did not bump into anyone in the fifteen days. The Blood Beach was too big, and although many people were here, the probability of encountering anyone was relatively slim.

Looking at the Flesh Devourers, which were more than five meters in diameter and exuding powerful aura, he nodded in satisfaction. Good. His ten days of hard training had not been in vain.

These devourers swallowed more things than he imagined and needed enough flesh and blood to grow to this level.

“Howl?” Do I throw this one here? The cub shook the two Flesh Devourers on a vine whip and asked.

“Yes, throw one here. Let's throw the other one to that side; don't let them be too close to each other.”

He nodded.

After throwing one into the sea, the fox stimulated its consciousness so that the devourer would wake up in about three minutes.

With a thud, the Flesh Devourer fell into the sea like a sinking stone. Its bloody breath caused a group of monsters to chase after it. Soon, a group of monsters had surrounded it on the seabed more than ten meters deep, but as the Flesh Devourer's consciousness suddenly awakened, countless scarlet pipes grew out of its body to entangle those monsters directly. It sucked their blood and flesh in the blink of an eye and left only their skeletons.

The awakened Flesh Devourer showed off its terrifying hunting ability, just like a deep-sea overlord. All nearby flesh and blood, which could be swallowed by it, was not spared.

Su Bai nodded in satisfaction at the awakened Flesh Devourer. It had woken up and started working.

“Let's go and fly directly over to the other side of the Sea of Blood. Dragon, take me with you.”

He instructed his pet dragon. In this Scarlet Wilderness, where many people would frequent, just a layer of bloody mist could conceal them well enough. Otherwise, it would take too long to travel on land with the cub.

“Roar~”

With a flash of blood, the dragon's body grew to one hundred meters.

He temporarily kept the other pets and rode the dragon high in the sky.

Only after reaching a high altitude could the vastness of the Sea of Blood be discovered. The place where they had been before was just a tiny corner in the vast sea.

“What a big whale.” Su Bai was a bit surprised to see a huge whale drilling out of the sea in the middle of the Sea of Blood. Its body was more than one hundred meters long, and it was probably at least a terrifying monarch.

He discovered a few of such whales in the Sea of Blood.

Many predatory birds flew in the sky, and most of them were commanders. However, they dared not to do anything upon seeing the dragon's size and aura and chose to circumvent it completely.

If Su Bai encountered a monarch monster, he would escape in advance. As long as he detected the monster before directly meeting it, he could avoid facing imminent danger.

It took more than half a day for them to reach the other side of the Sea of Blood. He found a suitable place of growth and threw the remaining Flesh Devourer inside. With this, he had completed his task of coming to the Blood Beach.

Next, he would travel around the Sea of Blood to improve his pets' strengths as well as his knowledge. Along the way, he would let his pet dragon infect more blood subordinates.

After retracting his dragon back onto his wrist, he released Purple Jade and rode it in the direction he pointed to. “Let's head over there.”

Moments ago, in the sky, he discovered a building in that direction. It seemed similar to a gathering place, which drew his curiosity to inspect.

“Howl!” Okay! The cub nodded and sashayed forward.

When it was getting dark, he saw figures of the buildings. Indeed, it was a gathering place for humans. Five characters were written on the guarded gate: The Gathering Place of Heaven.

Seeing him approach, the guard said blankly, “If you want to enter the gathering place, you will have to pay 20,000 yuan. There's no time limit after entering the place. No paper money is required as long as you have the equivalent amount of spiritual plants, spirit crystals, crystal nuclei, etc.”

The guards did not stop him from entering after he threw them ten spirit crystals.

He walked in and it was like entering the downtown area in an instant. Su Bai thought that this was a lively gathering place similar to the Bloodthirsty Vine Bazaar, but he soon discovered that this place was much more chaotic and was a gathering place of gangs. In fact, most of the people gathered here were wanted criminals on Blue Planet.

He was originally worried that the Flesh Devourers would ruin this place eventually, but now he thought that it was fine even if this place was ruined. After all, these people deserved to die.

Hardly any good people existed in such a place.

After finding a hotel to stay for the night, he left directly the next day. If he were strong enough, he would directly destroy the place before leaving, but as he was not, he decided to leave the place to its destruction.

In the blink of an eye, Su Bai had been riding his dragon in the Scarlet Wilderness for more than a month. During this time, the dragon had successfully expanded the scale of its bloodline.

That was not the most important thing, though. The most important thing was that he had finally found a volcano. Looking at the small active volcano in front of him, he exhaled fiercely and said, “D*mn it! I finally found a volcano; it really hasn't been easy.”

The Scarlet Wilderness lacked geothermal heat, so there were only a handful of volcanoes here.

However, the evolution of the dino required the special environment of a volcano. Although the fire-attribute crystal with profound meaning played a catalytic role, its effect was too slow, especially after all the Purgatory Fire had been used up.

After checking its specific data, he found that if it wanted to evolve rapidly, volcanoes were indispensable catalytic sites.

Just when he was in a good mood, a wave of pure and strong scarlet light balls appeared out of thin air and merged into his dragon. This directly caused its breath to break through to the peak high-level commander, and it was now not far from becoming a monarch.

“What's the matter?” He looked at his pet dragon.

It had lost a lot of blood origin and power in spreading its blood along the way, and its breath had almost fallen to the lowest level of the commander grade. It was definitely not an ordinary blood subordinate's death which could increase its origin so much at once.

One of the Flesh Devourers died, and the power feedback evolved me, the dragon said telepathically, its gentle spiritual voice entering his mind like a gentle big sister.

“One died? What about the other?” Su Bai sighed. He had long predicted this result, and it was not surprising even if both of them died.

The other one is still alive. It survived being defeated and is now a sovereign monster, responded the dragon.

“I see. That's not too bad. Dragon, slowly polish your strength; don't worry about it.” He reassured his pet.

Although the power obtained through the First Dragon Blood was extremely pure, there were still parts that could be discarded. What the dragon needed was purest power and not to feel distressed. In fact, it really did not have to rush evolving.

As the Ancestor Blood Dragon with the First Dragon Blood, its advancement was almost unimpeded in the early and middle stages.

“Roar~” I know; don't worry~ It agreed and turned into a blood bracelet which wrapped itself around his hand.
