Great Voyage: My Summoned Creatures Can Level Up While Idle

Although Giant Lizard Island has shallow waters near the sea, the coastline is full of reefs and underwater rocks, making it unsuitable for large ships to dock nearby.

Royal anchored the Velvet safely in the nearshore waters, leaving two hired sailors to watch over the ship.

He and Sophia then lowered the small sampan attached to the stern, which was the only life-saving vessel in case the large ship ran aground, encountered danger, or sank.

Roya and Sophia each held a paddle, sat facing each other, and rowed toward the island's beach.

Both were extraordinary individuals, possessing physiques far exceeding those of ordinary people and abundant strength. They reached the shore in a short time. Luo Ya dragged the sampan onto the beach and secured it to prevent it from being swept away by the rising tide.

"Is this the Giant Lizard Island?"

Luo Ya looked up and around, curiously surveying the deserted island.

The cliffs on the shore are steep and towering, and the slopes are covered with messy wild grass and low shrubs, with branches laden with wild berries.

Birdsong filled the forest, and every now and then you could see giant lizards, two or three meters long, darting through the trees or leaping into the sea to hunt fish, roaming freely.

This island got its name from the giant monitor lizards that were found all over it.

Sophia took out a bottle of pungent-smelling medicine from her bag and handed it to Roya: "This is an insect repellent. Applying it to your clothes will repel the monitor lizards. It will last for half an hour. I've already applied it beforehand."

Luo Ya applied the medicine as instructed, and its effects were remarkable. The lizards around them smelled the pungent odor and stopped coming near.

"When I used to come to the island with my grandfather to collect herbs, we only dared to stay on the outer perimeter of the island."

As Sophia skillfully pulled out a small shovel and bent down to dig for herbs, she explained softly, "Deep within the island dwells a Black Iron-level extraordinary giant lizard, which is extremely dangerous. We dare not venture any further."

"Hmm," Roya replied casually, but his mind was elsewhere.

He silently opened the system's instance panel, but the interface was empty; no new instances had been refreshed.

He then took out the Star Compass, and the compass needle steadily pointed to Giant Lizard Island.

This miraculous treasure can guide others in the direction they most desire, but it is special to him, pointing precisely to the entrance of the dungeon.

The pointer remained firmly in place, confirming that a new copy must be hidden on this island, only the entrance had not yet been found by him.

Sophia, who was standing next to him, was a bit more talkative, probably trying to ease the subtle and ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them being alone on the deserted island through casual conversation.

"Did you know? Thirty years ago, this island wasn't called Giant Lizard Island, it was called Poison Lizard Island."

"I heard from my grandfather that the island used to be a swamp, full of black iron-level poisonous lizards. They could spray highly corrosive poisonous mist that could easily corrode even metal."

"The tribal leaders are two mutated poisonous lizards, infamous for their ferocity. No one from the surrounding islands has ever dared to set foot here."

"Later, a legendary explorer landed on the island and unexpectedly discovered that the venom glands of the poison lizard had a miraculous effect in treating Alzheimer's disease."

"Since then, a large number of hunters and adventurers have flocked in to hunt them down. In just a few years, the entire population was completely wiped out, leaving only these gentle ordinary monitor lizards. As a result, Poison Lizard Island was renamed Monitor Lizard Island."

Sophia spoke with a sigh in her voice.

Humans are often so cruel and heartless that they can cause the complete extinction of an entire species simply because of their own selfish desires.

Luo Ya did not reply. At that moment, his heart tightened suddenly, and a chilling malice quietly enveloped his entire body.

The chirping of insects and birds all disappeared, and the entire forest fell into a deathly silence.

"hiss--"

A sharp screech shattered the silence, and a massive creature suddenly poked its head out from the dense bushes.

It was a jet-black giant lizard, a full five meters long, with dense, dark scales that gleamed with a chilling light, and sharp claws like perfectly razor-sharpened blades.

Its vertical pupils were fixed on Luo Ya, its eyes surging with intense hatred and a menacing aura.

Seeing this, Luo Ya was puzzled. He had clearly only been to the island for the first time and had never provoked these giant lizard monsters before, so why did they hate him so much?

It wasn't until he saw the information above the monitor lizard's head that he realized—this was not an ordinary monitor lizard at all, but the venomous lizard that Sophia had mentioned was long extinct!

[Poison Lizard (Last Survivor), Level 13, Health: 800%]

——【A monster burdened with a blood feud】——

A thought suddenly flashed through Roya's mind, and he immediately asked, "Was the legendary explorer who came to explore this island years ago named Captain John?"

"Mmm... Ah..."

Sophia was so frightened by the sudden appearance of the Iron-rank monster that her body stiffened, her mind went blank, and despair instantly welled up in her heart. Could it be that she would never live to see the day she could avenge her parents...?

And Luo Ya finally understood where the source of this hatred lay.

He held the hat of the legendary explorer Captain John in his hand. When he wore it before, he noticed that the leather of the hat had a special feel, smooth and tough. Now he thought that the hat was probably made of the skin of a venomous lizard.

"hiss!"

The lizard roared furiously again and launched a sudden attack. Despite its enormous size, it moved at an absurdly fast speed, so fast that Sophia could not track its movements at all.

"Aww!"

A powerful roar suddenly rang out, instantly snapping Sophia out of her daze.

It's Misha!

She actually managed to block the fatal blow from this Black Iron-level Poison Lizard!

Witnessing Misha, whom she had raised since childhood, block a high-level monster was even more shocking to Sophia than learning that Roya had broken through to the Black Iron rank.

Behind Misha and Adai, Roya, to confirm his suspicions, once again took out Captain John's hat.

The throbbing sensation from its bloodline made the lizard realize something; its vertical pupils instantly filled with bloodshot veins, its chest heaved violently, and its killing intent surged.

It was definitely this hat that caused all the trouble!

Luo Ya sighed inwardly and quickly put his hat away, but the momentary tug of hatred had already thoroughly enraged the monster.

Ignoring Misha and Ah Dai in front of it, the lizard raised its head and sprayed a large cloud of thick purple poisonous mist in the direction of Roya.

Wherever the poisonous fog passed, the surrounding flowers and plants were instantly corroded into a pool of black water, its corrosiveness extremely terrifying.

Luo Ya's heart skipped a beat. As he retreated rapidly, he grabbed the dazed Sophia and quickly pulled her to a safe area.

"Aww!"

In the critical moment, Misha unleashed her lightning element, and her lightning-covered claws slammed into the lizard's head.

The hard black scales shattered instantly, and strands of scarlet blood seeped out. The intense pain caused the lizard to abruptly stop spewing venomous mist, barely saving the two people's lives.

Even so, the lingering effects of the poisonous fog were still terrifying. Misha's lightning claws were accidentally stained with a little bit of it, and were even slightly corroded and turned black.

Taking advantage of the moment when the poisonous lizard was injured and stiff, the skeleton warrior Ah-Dai suddenly attacked.

The jet-black bone blade was covered with a matte black magic, its power surged, and it unleashed a fierce slash!

"Snap!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out as the venomous lizard's abdomen was injured. Its hard scales shattered and flew off, its flesh tore open, and foul-smelling blood gushed to the ground. The dripping blood sizzled as it hit the ground, and it could even directly corrode the soil, demonstrating its extremely potent toxicity.

Roya led Sophia back and forth, not daring to get even a speck of blood on them.

Only then did Sophia suddenly notice Ah Dai's jet-black bones and powerful aura, staring at him in astonishment: "Roya, you...you've broken through to the Black Iron rank?!"

"Didn't I tell you before?" Roya asked, looking puzzled.

Sophia blushed slightly and stammered, "I thought you meant you had broken through the basic swordsmanship..."
