The ship had the guidance from a nautical instrument, but Zhang Lisheng only had a vague memory to help him. It was certainly impossible for him to recklessly fly on the wyrm dragon without a direction in mind. At the very least, he must wait till the night came so he could rely on astrology to determine his position, which would at least give him better confidence in making his move.

Looking at the position of the sun above his head, there would be at least a few hours left before night fell. Zhang Lisheng thought about it and commanded the shrunken Island Dragon that had been holding onto the wyrm dragon’s tail to return to its normal size.

Then, he jumped onto the back of the wizard gu and commanded it to enter the dense forest from the distance.

During the winter, the forest in this supernatural realm was cold and wet. The decaying leaves on the ground emitted a faint stench, but the young man sitting cross-legged on the wizard gu felt very comfortable in such an environment.

From time to time, he would command the Island Dragon to randomly pierce its nine long scorpion tails around, causing numerous strange beasts and poisonous insects in the forest to flee in shock.

Zhang Lisheng wanted to refine whichever ferocious looking insect that appeared in front of him.

Right now, the wizard power in his body was already enough for him to cast the ‘assimilate’ spell thousands of times. Cooperating with the ‘simplify’ spell, he could cast with his thought to refine the wizard gu. The fierce poisonous insects on the forest ground around the young man would either burst crisply and would turn into a mess of flesh and blood, or a few of them would either be successfully refined into wizard gu but would eventually be commanded by him to enter the Island Dragon’s bloody and wide-opened mouth for being too weak. As he made his way forward, he killed along the way.

Although the energy consumption was small, it would eventually accumulate to become a lot in the end. After an hour or two, Zhang Lisheng, whose effort was futile, finally started to feel tired.

He stood up abruptly on the Island Dragon’s back and muttered to himself as he picked his target, “I really can’t randomly pick my wizard gu like that. Looks like I’m running out of luck right now. Wanting to come across a wizard gu that could possess the omniscient power at the instant it’s refined seems to be much harder than winning the lottery.”

When his gaze landed on a few trees close to one another while the canopy was tightly connected midair, the young man suddenly opened his mouth wide to spit out a cyclone. After crushing the canopy of the giant trees, he cast the ‘assemble’ spell in his mind as he looked at the large group of scattered branches along with the animal flesh and blood on the ground.

In an instant, the spell began to affect countless insects inside the jungles within the supernatural realm and came together to kill and compete for the remnants of the animal corpses mixed with Zhang Lisheng’s blood essence on the ground.

Looking at the thousands of poisonous insects fighting in front of him, the young man had an interesting look on his face before sitting down again, quietly waiting to see whether he would get a surprise or not.

However, when the venomous insects were getting smaller in number and the survivors began to show changes in body size with their fangs protruding out, a sudden commotion erupted from the depths of the forest.

There, a monster two meters high and seven to eight meters long that looked like a rhinoceros, save for the fact that it did not have a horn, ran out of the forest. Its four hooves treaded on the muddy ground, splashing the muddy water around, before stepping directly onto the branches Zhang Lisheng had cast a spell on.

No matter how great the potential of the insects was before they were refined into wizard gu, they were still insects no matter what. Being trampled by a monster weighing several tons, they were smashed into a puddle of mess and sunk into the soil.

Seeing almost how all of his poisonous insects that were specially selected by his spell had died for no reason, Zhang Lisheng gritted his teeth and hissed. Then, as if he had springs for legs, he leaped up from the wizard gu’s back and flew straight towards the monster.

Just as he was about to get near the beast that had thick and tight black skin, his right arm swung as he threw out a punch, sending the beast flying with just one hit.

“ROAR...” In mid-air, the beast roared its last cry. Its huge bulging eyeballs suddenly became bloodshot before bursting out with a “pop” sound. Fresh blood also flowed out from its mouth and nose as it slammed onto the ground and struggled powerlessly for a few times before ceasing to breathe.

Even though the process contained accumulated sprinting energy, the fact that Zhang Lisheng could kill a ferocious beast much larger than himself with just a punch also sent a great shock to himself. “Whoa, the Shape-Will Fist is, indeed, so powerful! I’ve merely trained for a few days and just one blast is already enough for me to kill a beast several times larger than my current body size. After my transformation, my physical strength, power, and resilience would no doubt be far superior to other ordinary people, but in the absence of omniscient power, I would at least need to expand my body up to five or six meters tall before I could kill such a beast in one hit, right?”

As the young man was muttering to himself, twenty to thirty midget aborigines holding spears growling an “ooohh aahhh...” sound suddenly ran out from the forest passage that the beast had trampled on just now.

It was apparent that those aborigines were chasing the beast. When they saw the beast lying dead on the ground, they looked at each other in confusion and began to talk to each other while continuing their usual “oohh ahh ooohh ahh...” growling for a while before turning their gaze onto Zhang Lisheng who was a little dazed.

The young man had already noticed the incoming supernatural realm’s aborigines before this, but in the face of these frail midgets, it would be as easy as yawning for him to kill them right now.

Just like how a male lion would not pay any attention to the weak antelope breaking into his territory when it was not hungry yet, Zhang Lisheng did not care what these aborigines wanted to do.

He merely made up his mind that if these aborigines were sensible enough to not disturb him, he would let them go, but if any of them attacked him, he would turn all of them into the wizard gu’s meal.

However, what happened next was far beyond Zhang Lisheng’s expectations. The aborigines stared at him for a while and slowly revealed a grateful expression. Several of the elders had even approached him kindly and tiptoed to tap the young man’s arm.

The young aborigines, on the other hand, peaked at Zhang Lisheng from time to time with an admirable gaze while using a sharp but ragged metal hunting knife to dismember the beast.

After a while, they put the most delicious meat part taken from the chest, hind legs, and buttocks in front of Zhang Lisheng.

Being treated with respect by the supernatural realm’s aborigines, the young man felt extremely dumbstruck. He looked at the aborigines in front of him with bafflement and noticed that the ugly faces of these midgets were indeed filled with genuine friendliness and respect. Suddenly, he recalled the misunderstanding the supernatural realm’s old man Armandnik had in himself and his heart gave a sudden jolt.

“Sea beast...” Zhang Lisheng lowered his gaze to look at his thick arms that were faintly looming with blue and yellow scales before blurting out, “Sea beast...”

When he said the word “sea beast” for the second time, an amiable smile already crept upon his face. Grabbing the fat flesh placed on clean leaves, he handed it back to the aborigine’s elders while touching his stomach making a gesture saying he was full.

The aborigines cheered and accepted the young man’s good intentions. They began to pick up the branches and started a bonfire, before throwing the meat pieces of the monster into the fire to cook them. Before the bloody smell was even completely removed, they already used their hunting knives to take the meat out and started to chew on them joyfully.

Zhang Lisheng stood by the side quietly and watched these aborigines from the supernatural realm finishing up the prey. When he noticed one of the aborigines actually carefully took out a disposable lighter that was printed with the word ‘Made in China’, shock washed over him.

The supernatural realm’s huge island he was currently on was extremely large, the jungle where the young man was located must be at least two hundred kilometers away from the US army settlement. Even so, this aborigine was actually carrying a daily necessity from Earth. Without a doubt, this meant that the US’ influence had already radiated throughout the entire island.

“I wonder what these big guys in the US Army are trying to do...” Zhang Lisheng muttered to himself and walked towards the aborigines who were eating. As he was about to make a gesture asking where they obtained the lighter from, he suddenly felt as though his mind was washed by a sense of coolness. Straightaway, he blurted out and directly spoke the language of the indigenous people. “Forest guy, where did you get this artifact to make a fire?”

The aborigines found it strange that this sea beast in front was actually fluent in Hellfire language but still gesticulated to communicate with them just now. However, the leader of the hunting aborigines still replied in a respectful manner, “Dear respected Son of the Sea, this artifact is the war trophy we obtained after defeating the Tulun tribe. According to the slaves we captured, if we walk towards the west side of the island for two sunsets, we’ll see several mysterious and huge iron ships. The masters of these iron ships will use all kinds of magical artifacts in exchange for useless seeds and small living beasts captured in the woodland. ”

The aborigines’ leader answered very detailedly. However, right now, Zhang Lisheng no longer had any intention to pay attention to what the aborigine was saying. He merely stared with his eyes wide as he thought to himself in great bafflement why would he suddenly be fluent in the language of the supernatural realm’s aborigines.

Soon, he recalled the two lines of words he had read on the animal skin roll recorded by Armandnik. “Their language is extremely complicated... it took me a full 12 days to finally become able to communicate with them freely... it’s the 12th day today. The Eternal Comprehension Spell has already taken effect... Chocolate... What a strange name this is, but it was indeed delicious...”

“Eternal Comprehension Spell, Eternal Comprehension Spell...” Zhang Lisheng’s eyes lit up. “I must have obtained the Eternal Comprehension Spell Armandnik sealed in the magic wolf paper skin roll when I ripped it apart. Even though this sly old man has written on the letter with sincerity, it looked like he still hid a lot of secrets from me. Perhaps if I really went to the Blue Whale City of the Kattaman City State to deliver the letter, I’d be killed instead of obtaining rewards!”

“Son of the Sea, w-what did you say?” When the aborigines’ leader saw this beast in front showed a series of expression of shock, pleasant surprise, and rage while muttering to himself in a strange language, he asked anxiously.

“Nothing, Leader of the Forest People, I want to ask you, do you plan to continue hunting before the night gets dark? If you want, I can help you hunt some big beasts,” Zhang Lisheng snapped back to reality and asked with a smile.

“Thank you, Mighty Son of the Sea.” The aborigines’ leader became happy before saying dejectedly, “But this Black-skinned Soilbull is the largest prey that we can carry...”

“Don’t worry, if your tribe is not far from here, I can help you bring this big bull back first,” A kind smile appeared on Zhang Lisheng’s ferocious looking face as he replied.
