Chapter 717 Mountain Palace
Deep within the Titia Forest, a forbidden zone for humans, a place even Gold-ranked beings dare not easily tread, this place is like a base camp for the many monsters in the forest.
With a large number of psionic realms opening in the forest, the Titia Forest has become a special entity, essentially a large-scale open realm.
This place is filled with spiritual energy and contains a large number of precious materials. At the same time, it is also home to a large number of demons. Some of them are transported from the rifts in the secret realm, while others are native to this place. Although these demons are at odds with each other and often fight each other, they are still a large group.
After all, they all share a common enemy: humanity.
Whether they were from out of town or local natives, they were united in their approach to dealing with humans, and thus they formed a common group.
This group is composed of the six strongest monsters in the forest.
They are classified as:
A giant armored rhinoceros covered in raging flames.
A giant of earth and rock, standing a full 100 meters tall.
The giant serpent with blue and white fangs that dwells year-round in the land of Silvermoon Lake.
The Kobold King who rules over the entire forest Kobold tribe and its vassal tribes.
Hidden underground, it seems to exist only as the legendary king of rats.
And finally, standing at the very top of the entire forest, the strongest, most terrifying, most mysterious, and most evil monster, the King of Beasts!
These six are the monsters standing at the top of this forest, and they can also be called the Monster Kings. The first three of them are basically monsters from the original world who are native to this place.
The other three came from psionic rifts or from outside.
Living in the same forest, these six demon kings had naturally fought each other, but since their strengths were not far apart, they rarely had a clear winner.
Nevertheless, they have one universally acknowledged strongest being, namely the mysterious King of Beasts.
The King of Beasts appeared suddenly in this forest and was the last to arrive. He came alone, without any vassals.
Because of his powerful aura, the demon kings in the forest quickly noticed him, and they all unanimously agreed to expel this outsider.
With this in mind, the monster kings of the forest began to make contact and fight against the king of beasts one after another. Apart from the Rat King, none of them were able to gain any advantage from this guy.
The Rat King, having not shown himself, sent his subordinates to test the waters and, finding the fellow to be troublesome, simply slipped away.
In this one battle alone, he made a name for himself in the forest. Monsters are generally not as cunning as humans; they are all very straightforward. If you have the biggest fist, you have the right to speak.
Therefore, this guy naturally became the sixth monster king in the forest.
After settling down, he basically lived only in the heart of the forest, rarely showing himself in front of humans, and always maintaining that mysterious appearance.
And so it has continued until now...
As the number of monsters in the Titia Forest increases, the living space here is being squeezed more and more. In order to gain more territory and to punish those despicable humans, the monsters, including the Kobold King and the Rat King, are preparing to expand outwards.
This is why humans are seeing monsters becoming more and more active; their increasing numbers are one reason, as is the cessation of civil war and outward expansion.
Of course, humans weren't stupid. After noticing that the monsters were starting to expand outwards in large numbers, they immediately began to respond.
Large numbers of soldiers began to be stationed at the edge of the forest, and a large number of mercenaries began to join the battle. The previously rampant expansion of the monster horde also began to be contained to some extent.
Therefore, in order to solve this problem, the King of Beasts convened a meeting of monsters, inviting all the monster leaders, big and small, from the forest to participate.
The meeting was held in a small hill deep in the forest. This seemingly ordinary hill had been transformed by the king of beasts' subordinates into a huge cave palace to demonstrate his great power.
Normally this palace is quite deserted, but today is different. Many monsters have gathered here, each of them powerful. Among them are many gold-rank monsters, and even the weakest has the strength of a silver-rank monster.
The Forest of Titia is teeming with monsters. Although the six great monster kings weigh heavily on them like mountains, they do not deny other monsters a way to survive. Under these circumstances, many powerful monster tribes also depend on the monster kings for protection. Although they are not their direct subordinates, they can be considered their lackeys.
In this war between monsters and humans, it's impossible to have only top-tier combat power, king against king, general against general. Since it's a war, it can't just be a few people fighting each other. The contest of military strength is also very important, and this is one of the advantages of the monsters.
Before the meeting even started, the cave was filled with chatter. Monsters generally lack discipline; it was a miracle that they even sat down for a meeting. Getting them to shut up and be quiet... well, forget about it.
If it weren't for the presence of several powerful and influential figures in front of them, things would be far from quiet; these hot-tempered guys would probably have already started fighting.
The gaze passed over the noisy horde of monsters and landed on the summoned monster kings.
To be honest, this is the first time so many monster kings have gathered in the Titia Forest.
The giant armored rhinoceros, the shrunken earth giant, the blue-white fang, the king of the kobolds, and even the elusive Rat King sent messengers.
The presence of so many high-profile figures speaks volumes about the importance of this meeting.
Of course, aside from these fearsome monster kings, there was another even more important person at this meeting: the one who initiated it...
Boom! ! ! !
With a loud bang, the noisy cave fell silent. Although their appearance was still unknown, the many demons trembled with fear upon sensing the terrifying aura.
Even the demon kings who were used to being powerful and mighty paused upon smelling this aura and began to pay attention to the figure.
"It's...coming..."
The King of Beasts...
