Kong Yang smiled as he looked at Sandra, who had directly placed him in the position of a knight protecting the monarch, and said nothing more.

Then, Kong Yang left the centaur village, with Sandra Raya following closely behind.

After Kong Yang left, the claw shadows around him also disappeared.

"Gold coins, these are all my gold coins."

No, it's mine.

"Get out of my way, all of you. This is mine."

"Let go, you lot."

........................

With Kong Yang and the others gone, the centaurs immediately began fighting amongst themselves.

Because of the gold coins, the centaurs, who had just been united against a common enemy, turned on each other and began to fight.

All of this was within Kong Yang's expectations, and it was also intentional on his part, because they hadn't gone far, and their voices could still be heard here.

Sandra heard everything, of course, but she felt saddened by it.

It's really awful that former comrades turned against each other just because of some gold coins.

But that's human nature, and there's nothing she can do about it.

Moreover, she was no longer a resident of that village; she was now a knight serving her lord.

"Everyone, continue the hunt."

As Kong Yang finished speaking, the surrounding claw shadows spread out again.

Sandra also witnessed incredibly cruel scenes. The magical beasts that they usually treated with utmost care in the dense forest, afraid of disturbing them, had all suffered annihilation.

They were utterly powerless against these black-clad soldiers and were relentlessly slaughtered.

Moreover, it was an indiscriminate massacre; whether carnivorous or herbivorous, whether volatile or gentle, all the magical beasts were wiped out.

The corpses of these monsters were dragged into the dark rift and disappeared.

These scenes constantly challenged Sandra's understanding.

"My lord, are you conducting a large-scale hunt for magical beasts?"

"That's right, my children need nourishment, and these magical beasts are the most suitable nourishment."

"Your child?"

"Yes."

Sandra was startled at first, then began to wonder if her lord's child was a princess or a young master.

And so, Kong Yang and the newly joined Sandra Leah continued their rampage through the dense forest, without any particular destination, simply walking straight ahead, hunting down every magical beast they encountered.

“My lord, the road to Misen is difficult to travel. If you don’t mind, you may ride on my back.”

"Ok?"

Kong Yang was slightly taken aback, but then he didn't stand on ceremony. Since they had already said so, Kong Yang simply sat down.

Sandra was a little nervous about being ridden for the first time.

"Sandra, do you know where there are many magical beasts?"

"As for magical beasts, there is a Moonlit Pool deep in the dense forest, where the number of magical beasts is relatively concentrated."

"Very good, then let's head to Mingyue Lake."

"Yes, my lord."

Immediately afterwards, Sandra began to speed through the dense forest.

After all, she grew up here, and the terrain is very familiar to her.

Kong Yang was also riding a horse for the first time, and it was a centaur girl, which was quite amazing.

Meanwhile, the claw shadows followed closely around her, their speed far exceeding that of Sandra Leah, so there was no need to worry about being left behind.

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Discovery Beneath Bright Moon Lake! (Third Bonus Chapter)

Bright Moon Pool is the only large water source in the entire dense forest, and many magical beasts come here to drink.

Not only monsters, but according to Sandra, there are also many villages nearby, the centaur village being just one of them. Therefore, this place is also the source of water for countless villages.

Upon arriving here, Observation Haki instantly spread outwards like radar.

There were indeed quite a few monsters around, and there were clearly many large ones.

"Come forth, my Shadow Legion, and hunt down all the monsters."

'Swish~swish~swish~'

Numerous claw-like shadows rose from the dark shadows and then spread out.

For Claw Shadow, Kong Yang's orders are everything, and they will carry them out without fail.

Then, a large number of magical beasts began to be hunted down, and the corpses of magical beasts in the Shadow World piled up more and more. Kong Yang directly connected the gate of the Shadow World to the small world.

All the monster corpses were sent into the small world, which became nutrients for the World Tree sapling.

However, Kong Yang's attention was not currently focused on these magical beasts.

Kong Yang's gaze fell upon the Bright Moon Pool.

A mysterious aura permeated the entire Bright Moon Lake. Although Kong Yang didn't know how it was formed, he was certain that Bright Moon Lake held a secret.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

"Sandra, do you know the origin of this Moonlit Lake?"

"This subordinate does not know, but according to the local legends, Mingyue Lake seems to have existed since ancient times."

"That would be interesting."

Kong Yang approached Bright Moon Pool step by step, and could sense that there was an extremely faint magical fluctuation in the depths of the pool, but it was so faint that it was very indistinct.

If he hadn't been paying close attention, Kong Yang probably wouldn't have noticed.

"Sandra, wait on the shore, I'm going down there."

"Yes, my lord."

'Thump~'

Kong Yang jumped directly into the water. For Kong Yang now, there was not much difference between water and land. Whether it was the sky or the deep sea, with Kong Yang's current strength, he could travel freely.

Although it's called a pool, it's not small at all; it's just that the depth refers to the pool itself, not its overall size.

As Kong Yang sank deeper into the waters of Mingyue Pool, the magic intensified.

'Swish~'

Just as Kong Yang approached the depths, a huge black shadow swam out from a ravine.

Especially in the dark, a pair of glowing eyes are like two large light bulbs.

Kong Yang was not surprised at all. Wherever there is a mysterious existence, there must be a creature guarding it, and the stronger the life form, the stronger the thing.

Soon, Kong Yang could see clearly that it was a giant python, at least ten or twenty meters long, coiled up in Mingyue Pool.

Judging from this, it is the overlord here, and this is its territory.

Kong Yang didn't care at all; so what if it was a giant python?

'Swish~'

Water jets shot out from the water like invisible attacks; anyone else might have been caught off guard.

This place is deep within Mingyue Lake, with little light, and the water jets in the water are so unexpected and difficult to spot.

"too weak."

Kong Yang lost interest after just one glance.

Although this giant python possessed magical power, it wasn't much; it didn't even have the magical power of a high-level demon.

At best, his magic power is only comparable to that of a mid-level demon. Perhaps this level of strength would be enough to dominate in this place, but it's simply not enough for Kong Yang.

'Pfft~'

The shadow blade formed from the dragon's shadow severed the giant python's head in the blink of an eye, and a large amount of blood stained the pool red.

"Master~"

Sandra, especially when she saw the pool turn blood red, panicked.

However, she is not a good swimmer, and even getting into the water is difficult for her. Swimming is also very strenuous for her, let alone rescuing people from the water.

Therefore, all she could do was pray, pray that Kong Yang would be safe and sound.

On this side, Kong Yang killed the giant python and threw its corpse into the small world. If left unattended, the python's blood would be enough to stain the surrounding area red, which would be troublesome.

Having dealt with the giant python, Kong Yang continued to venture deeper, with only one goal: to explore the bottom of Mingyue Pool.

Upon reaching the deepest point, where visibility was extremely low, Kong Yang conjured a magic sphere to serve as illumination.

"This is~"

At the bottom of the pool, Kong Yang saw an incredibly huge skeleton.

Looking at the overall outline, it resembles a giant lizard, with scattered bones around the spine.

Could this be the skeleton of a dragon?

The idea immediately arose in my mind.

After all, the skeleton was just too huge. It would be a bit hard to believe if it were the skeleton of a lizard or some other creature.

However, since he's already dead, all Kong Yang can do is speculate.

The source of the magic was beneath this skeleton. Kong Yang had no reverence for magical beasts and simply tossed the skeleton aside.

"Is this the source of magic?"

Beneath the skeleton lay a rhombus-shaped gem, emanating a faint magical aura.

However, it seems that the magic has been lost for many years, and the entire gem has become slightly dull.

He picked it up, his gaze scrutinizing it.

What is this? A gemstone? A precious jade? Or something else entirely?

Without finding an answer, I looked around and there was nothing left. Oh right, there was also the skeleton of an unknown creature.

Kong Yang was somewhat disappointed. He had originally thought there would be some kind of extraordinary encounter, such as meeting a powerful sleeping magical beast, or a treasure or legacy left by a predecessor.

Unfortunately, there was only one unknown rhomboid gemstone, and it looked like it had run out of magic.

However, having achieved his goal, Kong Yang naturally wouldn't waste any more time and quickly left the bottom of the pool.

It was fast going down, and even faster going up.

'Pfft~'

Kong Yang burst straight out of the water.

The magic began to burn, and the soaked clothes were instantly evaporated.

"My lord, are you alright?"

Sandra walked over; she had now completely immersed herself in the role of the Knight of Kongyang.

Kong Yang didn't want to interrupt her. This was fine; she didn't need to role-play anymore, as she had already assigned herself the roles.

"It's nothing, there's just a giant python in the water."

"A giant python?"

"You do not know?"

"I am unaware of this."
