Chapter 1882: Did Ah Zi Bring Ugly Duckling Along To Commit Suicide In A Lake?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

During the racial war in the past, the giant dragons used their overwhelming power to claim Dragon Island, the Taran Forest, which was the most fertile piece of land in the Norland Continent, and a part of the Boundless Sea Realm.

The giant dragons respected the sky, and saw themselves as the rulers of the skies.

Therefore, even the weakest tribe of the giant dragons would wish to have a spot on Dragon Island instead of being in the fertile forest under Dragon Island.

Within a century, the Taran Forest had become the heaven of animals, plants, and magic beasts. The ecosystem was left almost untouched, and therefore it was teeming with life.

The temperature increased gradually further south.

The snow mountains had long disappeared behind, and right below them was the lush green vegetation.

“This place might be the last clean piece of land on the Norland Continent,” Irina said softly as she looked at the forest beneath.

The Wind Forest of the past had been even more beautiful than this place.

The racial war which lasted centuries had destroyed large areas of the forest, and the towers of castles and high walls built within the forest after the war had once again slaughtered the land.

“Yes. Even though the giant dragons were rather overbearing back then, they did leave a piece of clean land behind for the Norland Continent.” Mag nodded. This endless stretch of the forest took up nearly a third of the Norland Continent.

Ah Zi was not flying fast, as it was mainly accommodating Ugly Duckling and Amy, who were learning how to fly by the side.

Under Amy’s guidance, Ugly Duckling, which could not fly straight initially, could already maintain a straight line while flying.

Although its two small meaty wings looked rather cute, they could help Ugly Duckling fly pretty quickly.

It was just that Ugly Duckling’s round body made it look like an overweight bee flying from afar.

“Ugly Duckling, from today onwards, I will not be restricting your food. Grow up quickly. I want to ride on you and fly together,” Amy said expectantly beside Ugly Duckling.

Ugly Duckling’s eyes lit up immediately, and it nodded happily.

“But, you have to grow bigger, and not fatter. There is a difference,” Amy added.

Ugly Duckling blinked, seemingly failing to understand what Amy said.

“Say, what exactly is Ugly Duckling? A type of magic beast?” Mag asked.

“It should be a type of magic beast. Either it’s a little stupid, or its bloodline is not inferior to Ah Zi for it to dare to raise a temper at Ah Zi,” Irina said as she looked at Ugly Duckling.

“Err… That’s really hard to tell.” Mag frowned.

On top of that, Ugly Duckling was brought up by Amy, and it had been seeing 10th-tier powerhouses ever since young. Usually, when 10th-tier powerhouses entered the restaurant, it could not even be bothered about them. Therefore, it was possible that Ugly Duckling was just very brave.

“Although it’s ugly right now, it might grow to be good-looking.”

“It might not grow to be good-looking, but it will definitely grow fat.” Mag shook his head.

Soon, Amy and Ugly Duckling returned to the griffin’s back, tired from flying. After that, Ah Zi increased speed.

“Father, are we going to catch piggies again today?” Amy asked Mag while holding Ugly Duckling.

“Oh, no. We’re not going to Dragon Island this time.” Mag shook his head with a smile. He didn’t think that the little fellow still remembered that he brought her over to Dragon Island to catch the Fiery Pig.

“I see. Then are we still going to play in the little dragons’ caves? They leave all their money lying on the ground,” Amy said expectantly.

“We’re not going this time. We’ll go again when they’ve saved up even more.” Mag tried to hold back his laughter.

“Oh, alright then.” Amy nodded. She looked left and right, and her gaze suddenly landed somewhere below. Her eyes lit up as she exclaimed, “Look, there’s a huge lake there!”

“That’s one of our destinations. Jab Lake. Let’s go down, Ah Zi.” Mag patted Ah with a smile.

“Ow~”

Ah Zi let out a long howl, and dove down.

It was a large lake surrounded by forest trees. Streams and rivers from various parts of the forest flowed and gathered here to become a sapphire within the forest.

This giant lake was dotted with big and small islands.

Ah Zi spread its wings and landed on the largest, stablest island.

“Wow, there’s fruits everywhere.” Amy jumped onto the ground, and quickly climbed up a tree. She picked a large yellow fruit, and waved it at Mag. “Father, is this yellow fruit edible?”

“Yes. You can eat it.” Mag looked at the supersized mango in Amy’s hand, and continued, “but you have to peel the skin off first.”

Jab Lake nourished this island, and the sunlight all year round made this place a fruit kingdom.

There were various types of fruits on this island. It was just like an orchard. On top of that, the fruits were bigger than anywhere else, and one could smell the fresh fruity scent in the air. This was the best moment on Jab Lake in the year.

Mag and the others landed on the ground as well. Ugly Duckling was about to jump down when Ah Zi flapped its wings, swinging the former back onto its back. Ah Zi flew into the sky, and dove right into the lake.

Splash!

Water splattered everywhere, and Ah Zi and Ugly Duckling disappeared beneath the surface of the lake.

“Did Ah Zi bring Ugly Duckling along to commit suicide in a lake?” Amy sat on a tree branch, and exclaimed, “The swan I reared up… can’t just disappear like that, right?”

“Don’t worry. Ah Zi won’t do anything silly.” Mag shook his head. It was a good thing for Ah Zi to have a playmate so that it would not be so lonely.

Boom!

After a while, the calm water surface exploded. Ah Zi shot out of the water with a five-meter-long fish in its mouth. At the end of the fish’s tail hung an orange cat.

“I see, they went to catch fishes. It seems like Ugly Duckling learned how to swim.” Amy blinked. “But is this a cooperation?”

Ugly Duckling bit tightly onto the tail of that huge fish, while Ah Zi was biting onto the fish’s head. It did seem like they had cooperated in this catch.

However, Ah Zi was a 10th-tier, purple-striped griffin. It would not need the help of Ugly Duckling to catch a fish. It just wanted a playmate.

“Howl, howl, howl~” Ah Zi called out to Mag as it placed the fish in front of him.

“Father. They want to eat grilled fish.” Amy climbed down the tree with a half-eaten mango. She looked at the huge fish, and swallowed her saliva. “I also want to try the taste of grilled fish.”

“Alright. I’ll grill it for all of you.” Mag nodded with a smile. The fish was five meters long, and Mag did not expect such a huge fish to exist in this freshwater lake. It looked rather similar to a grass carp, but it had two long whiskers.

Mag was good at grilling fish. However, he had never grilled such a large fish before.

Mag chopped down two trees to build a large grilling rack. He placed the marinated fish on the rack, and proceeded to search for some dried twigs and branches for the fire. After that, he started grilling the fish.

Ah Zi, Ugly Duckling, and Amy squatted at the side, watching the large fish on the grilling rack spin slowly.
