"Ding, by slaying the Black Wolf King, you have gained the Experience Realm!"

Experience Realm: Activating the Experience Realm grants additional experience points for slaying creatures within it. Automatically gain experience points equal to 50 times your current level every hour.

"Leveling up twice like this is just too exhilarating."

With the level-up glow, all injuries Alex sustained in the battle against the Black Wolf King instantly healed.

Alex already planned for future encounters with formidable foes; at the brink of mutual defeat, he could level up to instantly reverse the situation.

"But the most crucial is this Experience Realm. Beyond the extra experience from slaying creatures within it, the automatic gain of experience points equal to 50 times my current level every hour is the most powerful feature."

Calculating quickly, Alex, now at level 17, would gain 850 experience points, equating to 20,400 points in 24 hours.

Needing 200,000 experience points for the next level, Alex could level up in 10 days without any effort.

"Fantastic!"

This was indeed a turn of fortune. No longer needing to engage in constant combat, Alex felt relieved. Though necessary for survival, the relentless killing had become numbing and distasteful.

At least now, he could catch his breath.

Roar!

Alex howled, declaring to the creatures of Black Wolf Mountain the rise of a new king.

Awooo!

At this moment, the wolves that had retreated during his battle with the Black Wolf King now gathered around him, submitting to their new ruler.

"From now on, I am the king of Black Wolf Mountain!" Alex proclaimed loudly.

"All hail the new king!"

Someone initiated the chant, and all creatures of Black Wolf Mountain, facing the summit, knelt respectfully and softly repeated the phrase.

"A new king for Black Wolf Mountain? The Black Wolf King is dead?"

"Heh, a new king. But how strong is he?"

A king's throne is often built on the bones of the predecessor. When Alex announced himself as the new king, surrounding powers turned their attention toward him, not wanting a new sovereign within their territories.

....

"Another casual day!"

Alex stood atop Black Wolf Mountain, gazing into the distance. High positions offer broad views. From the summit, Alex could see much, like the neighboring volcano.

It had been a long time since the lava overflowed, and the spilt magma had already cooled and solidified into rock. New volcanic lizards had made their home atop these formations, so Alex, in his spare time, would often venture out to hunt these lizards, hoping to find some Fireglow Stones in the process.

Although he was no longer in need of experience points, evolution points were another matter entirely.

Half a month had passed since he became the new king, and of the 100,000 evolution points required, he had only managed to gather 20,000. Gathering the full amount seemed as distant as the next leap year.

Alex had considered sending his subordinates to search for Fireglow Stones, but the creatures of Blackwolf Mountain with any significant strength had nearly all been wiped out by him. The remaining creatures were no match for the volcanic lizards.

Even he had to be cautious on his own ventures, careful not to stir too much noise and alert the thing that lurked within the volcano.

"King, humans have appeared at the foot of the mountain!"

One day, while Alex was practicing his skills, he received this message from his subordinate.

"Humans?"

It seemed that since his arrival in this world, he had yet to encounter the humans of this era.

Living in Blackwolf Mountain, he had never heard of humans residing nearby. What could these people possibly want?

After some thought, Alex couldn't figure out the humans' intentions. Human motives were unpredictable, after all.

"Well then, let's go have a look!"

Although he could no longer blend into human society, having once been a human himself, Alex felt it necessary to observe these people and discern their purpose.

Moreover, one crucial point stood out: in a world where spiritual energy was resurgent, and animals could cultivate to become spirits, it was certain that some ancient, powerful beings existed among humans.

Thus, Alex decided to conceal his aura, making himself appear utterly ordinary to avoid drawing the attention of any potential old monsters among the humans who might perceive him as a threat and decide to eliminate him. That would indeed be an unjust fate.

Following his subordinate, they approached from the south of Blackwolf Mountain. From dozens of miles away, they saw hundreds of humans slowly making their way with a large amount of luggage.

The crowd included the old and young alike, most showing signs of malnutrition.

"It seems they're a village of people relocating."

In an era where spiritual energy was flourishing and creatures were mutating into formidable beings, many villages had fallen victim to attacks by these creatures. It appeared this village had faced a similar fate.

"Are they all untrained ordinary people?"

After carefully sensing for a while, Alex detected no unusual fluctuations. These hundreds of people were indeed ordinary humans.

"If that's the case, they're in grave danger."

A group of defenseless ordinary humans traversing a forest filled with dangers was akin to lambs walking into the mouth of a tiger.

"Hiss!"

Sure enough, within Alex's sensing range, a distinct presence emerged.

It was a Redstripe Giant Python, nearly two meters in diameter and over a hundred meters long.

It stealthily followed behind the group of humans, its small eyes filled with caution, seemingly harboring similar thoughts to Alex.

"This is bad!"

Upon realizing there was no presence in the group that could pose a threat, the Redstripe Giant Python immediately became excited, ready to feast on this unexpected banquet.

Hiss!

No longer concealing its presence, the giant python swiftly slithered through the forest, its massive body making loud noises that caught the attention of the humans.

"Be careful, something's coming! Arm yourselves, elders and children to the middle, men protect them."

"It's a python! My God, how can there be such a huge python?"

"We're in trouble. It seems to have marked us as food. Everyone, arm yourselves, it's do or die."

Their so-called weapons were machetes and spears, but such arms were no threat to a lord-level Redstripe Giant Python, let alone capable of penetrating its scales.

With a flick of its tail, the python sent a dozen people flying, who then landed, coughing up blood.

"Out of respect for my past life as a human, you all... I'll save you all!"
