Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 40 The Unicorn Demon Bear of the Monster Mountain Range
As the sun sets, its afterglow bathes the entire Monster Mountain Range and the surrounding wasteland and jungle.

The natural, pristine scenery is incredibly beautiful and magnificent.

From above, it looks like molten gold being poured out, transforming the entire world into a sacred golden palace and kingdom.

At this moment, in this sacred kingdom, a giant dragon soars through the sky, constantly sweeping low overhead and whipping up howling winds.

"Looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death," and Lin Ke has now finally put this saying into practice.

During his previous two game sessions, he hadn't properly observed what kind of place the area he was in actually was.

But it's different now.

Using the dragon's ability to fly, one can get a close look from high above.

Lin Ke was already awestruck by the vastness of the Western Wilderness.

The entire wilderness, when viewed from above, is surrounded by dense, towering ancient trees.

Take the swamp territory as a reference.

With his extraordinary vision, Lin Ke could see clearly that the entire swamp territory was completely surrounded by a primeval jungle.

Meanwhile, facing the Monster Mountain Range, to the east of the primeval jungle where the Swamp Territory is located, there is a vast grassland, where you can even see a large number of lakes and rivers.

On the grasslands, numerous herbivorous, low-ranking magical beasts roamed, their herds almost visible to the naked eye. In that direction, the edge of Lin Ke's vision was still vaguely discernible; on the side of the border where human activity was present, a very long and tall city wall had been built!

Clearly, in that direction, the human territory also faces considerable pressure from the grassland monsters.

As for the area west of the swamp, there is an even more vast primeval jungle that seems to stretch endlessly as far as the eye can see!
At the same time, Lin Ke thought that the mountain range he had seen earlier was the Monster Mountain Range, but Lin Ke underestimated the vastness of the so-called Monster Mountain Range.

When Linke arrived at the so-called Monster Mountain after spending about an hour of the game, he was dumbfounded.

Because just beyond this so-called Monster Mountain Range, an even taller, continuous mountain range was faintly visible!

The mountain peaks, hidden in the mist, seemed to pierce the clouds, giving the impression that the entire human realm was trapped in a giant cage.

The magnificent scene left Lin Ke speechless.

"Is this the real Monster Mountain Range?"

Lin Ke looked somewhat shocked, and at the same time, he was also filled with admiration.

"As expected of a world with extraordinary power! Who knows how many powerful magical beasts are hidden in a mountain range of this level."

"And the western wasteland of the Swamp Territory, compared to the entire Monster Mountain Range, is like a hair on a cow, utterly insignificant."

It's easy to imagine that the Monster Mountain Range was already in such a state; the fact that humans were able to withstand the pressure from the monsters clearly shows they are no pushovers.

I wonder just how prosperous and powerful the three great empires among humankind are!

Lin Ke was amazed, and at the same time, he put away his previously inflated ego.

So what if it's a dragon at the peak of the fourth tier?

In this kind of world, keeping a low profile is definitely the best approach!

If it weren't for the circumstances, Lin Ke wouldn't have taken such a risk, and if he could, he wouldn't have wanted to use such an aggressive, passive approach to rapidly expand his power.

After all, if one can survive and maintain stability, it's best to prioritize one's own strength.

What good are there if there are many low-level magical beasts?
Mid-level enemies might be able to be dealt with by sheer numbers, but if a high-level enemy comes along, these low-level monsters will probably be wiped out and scatter like birds and beasts.

After all, this is a world of extraordinary beings, where one person can command an army of thousands.

Without personal strength, everything is in vain.

It was all out of desperation!

Of course, radical approaches are not without their advantages.

Leaving aside the previous events, just thinking about how the game rewards would be even more generous if this simulation succeeded with a radical approach.

Therefore, Lin Ke had to take the risk no matter what.

The dragon soared through the sky, now very close to the first small mountain range on the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range, the 'tall mountain range' visible to the naked eye from the direction of the Swamp Territory. This mountain range was very long and narrow, stretching endlessly, like a wall on the border of a human city, and should be the first barrier and natural defense of the Monster Mountain Range.

Once here, there's no need for Lin Ke to actively seek out mid-level magical beasts.

Because the Rock Steel Dragon was soaring at a low altitude of over 100 meters, it was already close to the ground, which easily attracted the attention of a mid-level magical beast in its vicinity.

The presence of intruders in a territory is something that cannot be easily ignored by magical beasts, especially since the lord of each territory here is definitely a mid-level magical beast.

Even though the Lin Ke Rock Steel Dragon possesses dragon might, its aura is only at the fourth rank. As a mid-rank magical beast, the magical beasts here would never back down upon encountering it.

Moreover, low- to mid-level magical beasts may not even know what a dragon is.

Therefore, the mid-level magical beasts here might even instinctively perceive Linko's dragon aura as a provocative act of magical pressure.

Suddenly, a unicorn bear beast dwelling on the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range roared loudly at the rock-steel dragon in the sky.

The roar, carrying a magical air cannon, shot straight toward the Rock Steel Dragon.

However, Lin Ke simply dodged the guy's first probing attack by turning to the side.

This successfully triggered the game scene.

[Battle scene triggered!]

[Play as a character and enter the territory of the One-Horned Demon Bear on the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range.]

[Please select the next action option for the current scene.]

Option 1: Ignore the unicorn bear's provocation, leave, and continue searching for a new, suitable monster contract.

[Option 2: Defeat the One-Horned Demon Bear and make it your monster servant, or simply have it feign submission?]

[Option 3: As a dragon, your majesty forbids any challenge. As punishment, you choose to kill all rank-one magical beast servants within its territory, and then leave.]

Three options.

The last option was naturally the one that left Lin Ke speechless.

A dragon's majesty, slaying a servant monster from the unicorn bear's territory? How incredibly bored must he be to do that?

Furthermore, Lin Ke doesn't have much time left to play games.

"Looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death." Lin Ke had been flying at full speed all the way, but it still took him about an hour and a half to get there.

We'll have to go back later, so we can't waste all our game time and then suddenly log off here.

At this moment, looking at the data panel displayed in his eyes of the roaring unicorn bear on the ground, Lin Ke had already made a decision.

Warcraft: The Unicorn Bear

Lifespan: 192 years

Strength: Level 4

Body size: 5.8 meters

Growth rate: 38%
Potential: ★★★
Bloodline: Mighty Demon Bear (Intermediate)
Attribute Affinity: Dark

Skills: 1. Sonic Cannon, 2. Might, 3. Dark Energy Erosion
Lord: Number of monster minions unknown (must be defeated and subjugated)

The one-horned demonic bear right now is perfect for Lin Ke to test his skills. If possible, he only needs to make it submit, and Lin Ke can save his last spot and then see how long the loyalty of this kind of magical beast without a contract can last.

At this moment, the Rock Steel Dragon's pupils revealed a dangerous glint in its eyes as it looked at the One-Horned Demon Bear.

At the same time, Lin Ke also unleashed the Dragon's Might skill in the next moment.

"Roar!!!"

With its mouth open, a dragon roar erupted from above, and with the enhancement of the Dragon Might Technique, violent magic suddenly raged through the forest.

At the same time, the Rock Steel Dragon swooped down in the next instant!
