Chapter 81 The Deformed Sub-Giant Monrent.

"Now that you're awake, get out of here, you bastard."

Suddenly, a suppressed yet majestic roar came from ahead. It was followed by a scorching storm.

In just a moment, Sophie's hair was curled up.

"Oh right, I came to seek refuge with the great dragon and received two great blessings." At this moment, Sophie saw the tall dragon in front of her and finally realized what had happened.

At the same time, a cultivation technique called [Shadow Stream: Black Witch Assassination Secret Technique] appeared in his mind.

"Ah, this is truly terrifying." Sophie was instantly stunned. She had heard of this secret technique; it was a renowned inheritance within the Shadow element. Outside, those qualified to cultivate it were basically geniuses with wealth and connections. Legend had it that this secret technique was enough to allow one to cultivate to the legendary, or even epic, level.

At the same time, throughout history, countless shadow assassins have been cultivated, greatly enhancing the reputation of the assassin system.

In short, this secret technique is extremely valuable and worth more than a million pieces of gold.

"I'm so happy! Do I finally have a chance to rival a true genius?" Sophie laughed foolishly.

"Huh?! What's wrong with you?" Loya's tone turned dangerous. Sophie not only disobeyed him, but also laughed, which gave him a feeling of being offended.

Sophie finally came to her senses this time, and she quickly knelt on the ground. "I'm sorry, my great Lord Roloroa, I was too excited and lost my composure. I hope you can forgive me."

Loya reluctantly said, "Fine, you're lucky."

If Loya is too brutal towards this newcomer, it might frighten her and make her less hardworking in the future.

"Whoosh!" Sophie rushed out impatiently.

Once outside, Sophie took a deep breath. She stretched out her hand towards the sky and clenched it tightly, as if trying to grasp the sky and encompass everything.

“This time, I really made the right choice.”

"Therefore, in order not to disappoint you, I will work hard to recruit more and more followers, until we can form a great monster nation."

Sophie is a very ambitious person.

She darted away, rushing towards the edge of the Flame Serpent Canyon.

Now, some extraordinary individuals who look up to the dragon are on their way.

However, the Grand Canyon was too vast, and Loya hadn't revealed his exact location, making it difficult for the superhumans to find him accurately. Instead, they wandered around aimlessly, causing considerable casualties.

The casualties included those of the superhumans and those of the Flame Serpents.

Sophie needs to recruit a group of subordinates as soon as possible, then intercept all the superhumans, select the most powerful among them, and introduce them to Loya.

...

Time flies, and a day has passed in the blink of an eye.

The next morning, Elena and the young dragon sisters returned home exhausted and delivered a large number of fire serpents to Loya. Because there were so many, the fire serpent carcasses piled up into a small mountain nearly twenty meters high.

Loya opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and the remains of the large number of fire serpents were absorbed into his stomach like dust.

The young dragon sisters and Elena, who were watching this scene from the side, couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

Loya's feeding was incredibly frenzied. The onlookers all felt as if they themselves were about to be devoured.

About half a minute later, the remains of many fire serpents were gone.

Koloa's belly, however, remained unchanged, showing no sign of swelling.

“My lord, I plan to go to Rogin Town this afternoon to purchase the materials you need,” Elena said anxiously. She couldn't wait to leave; she didn't want to cook for Loya. It was too tiring.

Loya stroked his chin and said, "Alright, go ahead. It's your first time, so don't make too much of a fuss. This trip is mainly to test the waters, familiarize yourself with the environment, and establish some stable connections. That way, it'll be easier to do business here in the future. Besides, you can also bring merchants directly here to do business, which will be even easier. Over time, our Flame Serpent Grand Canyon might become a hub similar to Luo Jin Town. Then, I can just collect rent and protection fees and make a fortune."

His thinking had undergone a subtle shift. However, this shift was positive. Before, he had been too casual, and his thought process was incomplete.

Elena smiled: "Your guidance is excellent, sir. You are so intelligent. Perhaps you can become the greatest businessman in the world."

Loya rolled his eyes. How could he possibly be that good? But being praised always made him feel better.

“Besides, there are quite a few extraordinary individuals nearby who are preparing to join me. If you have time after you leave, please accept them for me.” Loya continued, “This time, you can use my reputation to act ostentatiously.”

After he finished speaking, he took out a huge, dark red dragon scale, which was filled with a strong dragon aura.

“Consider this the proof of my existence. I believe there shouldn’t be any fools who would go looking for trouble, unless they are deliberately trying to make an enemy of me.” Loya tossed the dragon scale to Elena.

Elena was a little stiff from the dragon's might, but she forced herself to stay alert and caught the dragon scale, then stored it in her spatial ring.

At this point, Loya had nothing more to say.

Elena and the baby dragon sisters departed.

“Next, take the box containing the baby snakes and go to the breeding farm,” Elena said. “Then, let’s leave as soon as possible.”

Elena's heart raced; she felt she might run into someone she knew in Rogin Town.

Yes, she suspected that the superhumans in her country might still be waiting for her in Rogin Town, searching for her.

However, the thought of such a scenario filled her with confusion. After all, she had already lost her freedom, and couldn't even offer an explanation; in fact, she might become an enemy of the kingdom.

"Hehehe, little fire snake, I haven't tried it yet. This time, I'm going to sneak a taste," Finland whispered furtively.

Elena quickly warned, "The baby snakes are for sale, not for you to eat. If you want to eat them, go buy them yourself when we get outside."

Finland nodded quickly, "That's right, I'll go buy some outside. Although the small fire snake is very young, it should be no different from the large fire snake."

At this point, her tone became somewhat disdainful.

...

A few hours later,

The edge of the Grand Canyon.

A woman and two dragons carried a large wooden box filled with baby snakes as they walked slowly.

Although she hadn't completely left the Grand Canyon, Elena could already feel the coolness and dampness in the air.

The wind blowing in from outside was filled with the rich fragrance of plants.

"Hahaha, finally we're out of the Grand Canyon! I want to drink water, I want to eat plants, I want to eat other monsters."

Finland was shouting and seemed very excited.

Ophie rolled her eyes, feeling utterly bored. She really couldn't handle Finland; this older sister of hers had always been so unreliable. Most of the time, she was giving her a headache.

"Roar!" A roar suddenly came from afar.

"Bang bang bang bang." Immediately afterwards, another series of violent smashing sounds came from behind.

"What the hell is that?" Finland was startled.

"Let me see." Elena turned her head, her eyes shining brightly, which greatly enhanced her vision.

Magic: Clear Light Eagle Eye Technique

In the blink of an eye, her gaze traversed a distance of nearly two thousand meters and arrived at the foot of a small hill.

At this moment, a seven-meter-tall giant, whose body was covered with black earthworm patterns, whose hands were one large and one small, and whose legs were one long and one short, making him appear extremely deformed, was wielding a huge wooden stick and frantically striking the ground.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that there is a large fire snake, seven or eight meters long, on the ground.

“A deformed subspecies of giant human. His true level is probably Silver Ninth Rank, which is quite impressive,” Elena said.

"A giant?" Orpheus grinned maliciously. "Let's go kill him."

Dragons and giants reigned supreme in ancient times, while other species were relegated to supporting roles.

The two sides fought fiercely at the time, creating an unspeakable hatred.

To this day, the hatred between the two sides is still firmly recorded in their bloodlines.

This meant that the descendants of the giants and dragons also inherited the hatred between them.

Even today, countless years later, the relationship between the two sides remains extremely poor. Whenever they meet, sarcastic remarks are commonplace. In serious cases, they resort to violence, escalating into a full-blown war.

Orpheus also inherited her ancestors' hatred for the giants, and given the opportunity, she would never hesitate to annihilate them.

In fact, many dragons consider it an honor to slay giants.

Of course, even giants have this mentality.

"Stop talking nonsense! Let's join forces and kill him." Finland was very direct and had already charged forward.

“Yes, joining forces is fine, but Elena shouldn’t interfere, because this is a feud between dragons and giants.” Ophie seemed to agree with this.

Orpheus followed.

In the blink of an eye, the two baby dragons disappeared without a trace.

"You guys are really willful." Elena was having a headache. They had only just set off, and they had already gone and provoked others. This was really unbearable for her.

Moreover, the giant is much stronger, and even if these two young dragons joined forces, they would basically be no match for it.

Silver-level extraordinary beings have minimal differences between each sub-level.

However, there are too many minor levels between them, so the gap can be huge.

Nowadays, the baby dragon sisters and the giants are separated by many small levels.

"Besides, this giant must have come here for more than just killing snakes, right?" Elena casually patted her hand, summoning a strong wind that held the large box in place.

She leaped away, rushing towards the location of the giant.

Everyone here is a superhuman, with speeds far exceeding those of ordinary people.

In less than a minute, the two sides could see each other.

"Damn giant, your end is near!" Finland roared.

"A dragon? A baby dragon???" The giant was currently holding the Flame Serpent, devouring it alive. He was quite surprised when he saw the baby dragon charging towards him.

But the next moment, he grinned, revealing his blood-stained fangs. "Are you companions of the new master of the Flame Serpent Canyon?"

Orpheus puffed out his chest and said, "Of course! You know this is dragon territory, yet you still dare to come here?"

"Why wouldn't I dare? I've come to pledge allegiance to him. I believe he wouldn't mind recruiting a giant, would he?" the giant said matter-of-factly. "Subduing a giant is far more honorable than killing one."

Finland and Orpheus were taken aback. "You're deliberately trying to embarrass the giants?"

The giant smiled: "My affairs are none of your business. I just want to ask, which dragon lord would like me?"

Elena jumped over, "Although I don't know why you took the initiative to join the dragon, I can tell you that our Lord Roloroya will absolutely not refuse your offer."

In truth, Elena understood that among all races, there were exceptions. The giant before her, who didn't hate dragons, was, strictly speaking, nothing special.

In fact, Elena had even read about a giant and a dragon falling in love in some novels.

"How can this be? Giants all deserve to die." Elena's words were unacceptable to the young dragon sisters.

Clearly, these two young dragons are not outcasts, but rather traditional dragons who have been brainwashed by their ancestral bloodline and deeply believe in it.

"Whether they deserve to die or not should be decided by the lord." Elena warned, "Don't be unreasonable. Have you forgotten that besides our mission of trading, we also have the mission of recruiting servants for the lord? If you dare to drive away or kill the lord's servants, I believe the lord will definitely give you a good beating."

This threat is very effective.

The baby dragon sisters immediately cowered in fear.

"Alright, alright. Damn giant, you're really lucky." Finland abandoned its murderous intent, but its mouth still wouldn't let up.

"Hmph, just two crippled dragon cubs, do you really think they can kill me?" The giant had to sneer, and his words were also very vicious.

The baby dragon sisters immediately flew into a rage, "Who are you calling a crippled dragon? We are not crippled dragons, we were just borrowed by the adults."

The giant rolled his eyes. "If you're so capable, take back the wings you borrowed and prove that you really lent them out."

Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Old Liu quickly interrupted, "Lonely Giant, I am Elena, Lord Roloroa's first familiar. May I ask your name?"

While Elena wasn't wrong in saying that, it was also a way of flattering herself and making the giants think she was in a high position of power.

"I am Monrent, a Silver Rank 9, and I once killed a pure-blooded giant boy who was a Gold Rank 1." Monrent said smugly, "You have no idea what the expressions of those giants were when they saw my power. Ahahaha, it was so exciting."

Monrent's bloodline is impure; he's not a pure Titan, but rather a sub-Titan. However, he has also undergone a mutation, a change that is somewhat beneficial, causing his strength to surge and his potential to far exceed that of ordinary sub-Titans.

His situation is equivalent to that of a lowly sub-dragon among the dragon race. Pure-blooded giants, on the other hand, can be considered true dragons.

With such a status, hunting down a pure-blooded giant boy is indeed something to be proud of.

If it weren't for Loya, the sub-dragon, repeatedly reshaping the worldviews of the young dragon sisters and Elena, they would have genuinely thought Monrent was exaggerating after hearing his words. Or perhaps, they would have been completely stunned and bewildered.
