Great Voyage: My Summoned Creatures Can Level Up While Idle

"roar!"

Misha's painful growl interrupted the two of them.

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw the venomous lizard fighting back in pain, its sharp claws tearing open Misha's flesh, the wounds bloody and flesh turned outwards, a shocking sight.

Sophia's expression turned serious, and she quickly entered battle mode: "I can't interfere with the direct combat of the Black Iron Transcendent, but I can prepare healing potions. If you throw them at the right time, they can help Misha recover from her injuries and reduce her pain."

She quickly opened the herbal pouch she carried with her, which was neatly arranged with various potions and herbs. With a few deft movements of her fingers, she quickly mixed several bottles of continuous recovery potions and then handed all the glass bottles to Roya.

As an undead being unable to receive medical treatment, all the recovery potions were thrown to the injured Misha.

At this moment, Ah Dai gripped the bone knife covered in black iron magic with both arms, his body suddenly spun around, and he activated a new combat skill: Whirlwind Slash!

The jet-black bone blade unleashed a fierce, spinning attack, slamming into the venomous lizard's abdomen, tearing open the original wound and widening it, making the injury even more severe.

"hiss--!"

Excruciating pain swept over his entire body, and the venomous lizard let out a mournful cry. It immediately abandoned its fight with Misha and lashed out at Ah Dai with its thick, long tail like a steel whip.

Ah Dai reacted extremely quickly, rolling on the ground in a disheveled manner, barely managing to dodge this fatal blow.

"Snapped!"

The venomous lizard's long tail slammed into the ground, instantly cracking a trench several meters long in the hard earth, demonstrating terrifying destructive power.

"Aww!"

Taking advantage of the situation, Misha unleashed her full power, imbuing herself with lightning. Her body crackled with electricity, and the power of her lightning claws doubled as she relentlessly struck the venomous lizard's head repeatedly.

With a series of heavy blows, accompanied by a final, desperate cry, the lizard's head was completely smashed.

Its massive body crashed to the ground, its life points completely depleted, leaving it utterly lifeless.

Luo Ya turned to look at Sophia beside him, who looked nervous, and felt a pang of emotion.

With the healer's support, Misha remained stable throughout the entire battle, retaining most of her health, and managed to defeat this monster, which was of a higher level than both Adai and Misha!

At that moment, Luo Ya made up his mind—no matter what, he had to kidnap Sophia.

"Is he/she dead?"

Sophia looked at the fallen lizard and asked Roya in a low voice, a hint of unease still hidden in her eyes.

This venomous lizard was extremely cunning. It had fallen to the ground several times, feigning serious injury and near death, which made Sophia lower her guard each time.

But Luo Ya saw through her disguise every time. After several such incidents, she could no longer tell whether the poisonous lizard was dead or not.

"Yes, completely dead." Roya nodded firmly.

From his perspective, the lizard's health points had been completely reduced to zero, and there was no possibility of it faking its death.

Upon hearing this, Sophia let out a long breath, and her tense body suddenly relaxed.

She was terrified throughout the fierce battle just now, and at one point she thought that she and Luo Ya were going to perish on this remote desert island.

Seeing Roya stride toward the enormous venomous lizard carcass, Sophia quickly composed herself and hurried after him.

This adult venomous lizard is over five meters long, with a robust and heavy body, weighing almost as much as Misha.

Luo Ya circled the corpse, looking at the enormous creature with a sense of unease.

Its size makes it extremely difficult to move and bring back to the ship.

He simply turned to Sophia and asked if there was any way.

"It's too big; our little boat simply can't fit it," Sophia said, shrugging helplessly.

The Velvet could accommodate it, but the large ship had a deep draft and was blocked by reefs, making it impossible to get close to the shallows.

After a brief discussion, the two decided to dismember the venomous lizard on the spot, taking only the core and rare parts back with them and discarding the useless remains.

The ordinary monitor lizards on the entire island are worthless, but this last wild venomous lizard is a treasure from head to toe.

The most precious part of it is its poison glands.

The venomous lizard population has long been declared extinct, and the venom glands of this single surviving individual are worth a fortune.

According to Sophia, this single intact poison gland is enough to exchange for a hereditary title or to acquire a treasure from the sea.

Without any suitable dissection tools at hand, Roya had to row back to the Velvet alone in his sampan to retrieve the complete set of tools and a large number of sealed ceramic jars before returning to the beach.

Sophia's face was filled with fervor as she moved with practiced skill and precision. First, she used a wooden bucket to collect the venomous blood of the poisonous lizard, then she precisely extracted the complete venom glands and carefully soaked them in a specially made sealed ceramic jar.

In addition, she also collected the heart, eyes, and saliva of the poisonous lizard.

Noticing Roya's surprised gaze, Sophia's cheeks flushed slightly, and she explained shyly, "This is an extinct monster, the only one of its kind. If you miss it, you'll never have another chance."

Luo Ya nodded in understanding. He didn't waste any of it and carefully peeled off and collected the venomous lizard's skin, hard scales, sharp teeth, and claws. These were all good forging materials that could be given to craftsmen to make or enhance equipment.

The two of them worked diligently for an entire afternoon before finally sorting out all the spoils and loading them onto the ship.

On the return journey, they encountered headwinds, which greatly limited the ship's speed. The Velvet could only maintain a speed of three or four knots, and it took a full five hours to finally sail back to Baisha Town Wharf.

It was late at night, long past the time when the townspeople were at rest, and there was no one on the shore.

The voyage lasted far longer than the agreed-upon working hours, so Roya paid an extra silver coin as compensation.

After thanking them with great joy, the two sailors put their arms around each other's shoulders and headed straight for the tavern in the town square.

As they left the dock, they found a tall and strong figure standing on the shore, holding a bright lantern and waiting quietly.

"Grandpa? What are you doing here!" Sophia exclaimed in surprise when she saw who it was.

Sophia's grandfather, Old Adam, did not live in town often. He lived alone outside the town, tending to his few acres of flower fields, and rarely came into town at night.

"Hmph, if you don't come back soon, I'm afraid you'll get kidnapped."

Old Adam waited from dusk until late at night, filled with anxiety and resentment, with nowhere to vent his frustration.

He couldn't bear to scold his granddaughter, so he could only glare fiercely at Luo Ya beside him, his eyes full of scrutiny.

Roya immediately put on an innocent expression.

Sophia playfully stuck out her tongue, then quickly stepped forward and affectionately took Old Adam's arm, gently smoothing things over with a coquettish tone: "Alright, Grandpa, it's already night, let's hurry back."

Old Adam keenly detected the strong, pungent smell of blood emanating from Sophia. His expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Why do you smell so strongly of blood?! Did you encounter pirates at sea?"

"No, it's just that I encountered a high-level monster on the island and got the smell of blood from the fight," Sophia quickly explained.

She herself felt unwell and desperately wanted to go back to wash and clean up.

As night deepened, Sophia, unwilling to let her grandfather travel alone back to his suburban home, took him back to the town's private clinic for the night, planning to leave town the next day.

Seeing that the grandfather and grandson needed to talk privately, Luo Ya took the initiative to leave first, returning to his residence alone with a pile of bottles and jars.
