There was a loud bang.

Roddy slammed heavily into a big tree behind him and a mouthful of blood spilled out from his mouth. The intense pain made him feel as though his bones were about to fall apart.

Just as Big Green was about to lash out with its tail to kill Roddy…

Jobs’ voice suddenly rang out beside its ear, “Big Green, don’t kill him.”

As his voice sounded, Big Green’s tail whip landed on the side just as it was about to smash Roddy’s head. Then, it sent the severely injured Roddy flying out of its sight.

“Hisss~” Big Green glanced coldly at the group of mage apprentices in front of it. After receiving the order from Jobs, it did not stay any longer.

It turned around and slithered away.

Even after the python disappeared from their sight, Roddy and the other two were still in shock.

They had suffered quite a loss in this battle.

However, compared to being defeated by the python and wasp and getting covered in wounds, what shocked them the most was something else.

The two creatures in front of them had allied to fight them together!

It had to be known that fierce and violent creatures usually fought over territory. It was rare for them to not provoke each other.

But the python and wasp were working together.

The swift wasp was responsible for ambushing them and paralyzing their bodies. Then, the python attacked and severely wounded them!

These two creatures seemed to have developed some level of intelligence.

As for why the python left instead of killing them, Roddy did not have time to think too much about it. Just being beaten by two low-level demonic beasts today was already embarrassing enough.

Immediately, Roddy, whose paralysis was slowly wearing off, stood up again.

“Let’s go back to the academy.”

Roddy did not mind the awkwardness, he patted his pants and spoke to everyone.

Lenny and Jet also stood up one after another, looking extremely embarrassed.

They had originally wanted to show off in front of Roddy, but in the end, each one was more unreliable than the previous.

Fortunately, the python and wasp did not do anything to them. They had already left, and the students were fine.

Otherwise, they would not be able to remain as teachers.

After the incident, the group of mage apprentices were so scared that they did not dare to speak. Naturally, Roddy did not have the intention to chase after the python. He immediately led the group to return to the academy.

…

At the same time, on the other side, deep in the forest.

At this moment, Big Green had already arrived in the depths of the forest to meet up with its master, Jobs, under his orders.

He activated Information Sharing and confirmed that no one else was around.

Jobs looked in the direction that Big Green had come from.

Actually, there was a reason why he did not let Big Green kill the enemies just now.

It was due to the status of Roddy and the others.

No matter what, they were teachers of the Sigt Magic Academy.

These old men were already quite old, it would not cause a commotion if they were only injured in battle.

After all, as mage experts of rank three and four, they were actually defeated by two low-level demonic beasts.

How embarrassing was this?

Thus, Jobs was certain that these old fellows would never take the initiative to report such matters upon their return to the academy.

However, if Big Green were to kill Roddy or even Roddy’s entire team, the situation would be completely different.

All the teachers who went to the town to recruit mage apprentices went missing. The Sigt Magic Academy would definitely send experts of rank five or even rank six to investigate the situation.

By then, that would be Jobs’ biggest problem.

After settling this matter, another question popped into Jobs’ mind.

After gathering Big Green and Little Yellow together, he was going to solve a huge problem.

That was the problem of survival among his pets.

It was just like how the people from Sigt Magic Academy who entered the forest today accidentally encountered Big Green.

Currently, he only cared about evolving monsters, but he did not have a territory that belonged to him.

No matter where the pets were placed, humans would occasionally pass by and discover their existence.

What should he do then?

He could not kill all of them.

Jobs stood there and carefully thought about it.

He immediately thought of buying a piece of land in the Sida Empire, which he was in.

But it was quickly ruled out because he lacked the essential element to fulfill this condition.

He did not have the status of an Earl, nor did he have a large amount of gold coins. He did not have the ability to buy a piece of land from the King.

In that case, there was only one solution left.

Expansion!

He could only use his own method to expand his territory.

He had to establish a force that belonged to him!

There was a large number of forests surrounding Laner Town. Due to the existence of demonic beasts for many years, humans had long entered these forests. It was just that there would be demon hunting teams entering from time to time.

As long as he occupied such a forest, all the problems would be easily solved.

The way to occupy one was also very simple.

That was to rely on his own pets to clean up the entire demonic beast forest and occupy it. He would raise all the demonic beasts in the forest that had potential to be nurtured. As for the worthless demonic beasts, they would be hunted down and turned into monster points!

This way, not only would he be able to complete his plan to occupy the forest, but he would also be able to nurture a monster army of his own.

After he thought of that, Jobs immediately took action.

The first thing was the choice of the demonic beast forest.

Jobs took out a map that he carried with him. On the map, there were five demonic beast forests within 100 kilometers of the town.

The map also detailed the number and level of demonic beasts in each demonic beast forest.

Among them, three of the five forests were small-scale demonic beast forests that only spanned 20 square kilometers. These options were immediately eliminated by Jobs.

Since he was going to build a monster army, the territory had to be decent at the very least. Occupying just a 20 square kilometer forest did not make sense no matter what.

Then, he looked at the other two demonic beast forests.

One of the two forests was the César Forest, which was 80 square kilometers in size. There were 400 to 600 low-level demonic beasts and three mid-level demonic beasts inside.

The other forest was the Loraine Forest, which was 50 square kilometers in area, but contained more than 200 to 300 low-level demonic beasts and 1 to 10 mid-level demonic beasts. However, something else was also mentioned on the map.

There was a 2% chance that there would be a high-level demonic beast in this forest!

The warning sign written in red immediately caught Jobs’ attention.

There was no doubt that it was impossible for him to defeat a high-level demonic beast. Even if there was only a 2% chance, Jobs did not want to bet on this possibility.

He only had one life, and he treasured it dearly.

In contrast, the situation in César Forest was much better. In addition to the 80 square kilometer area being the largest demonic beast forest around Laner Town, there were also 400 to 600 low-level demonic beasts.

Although there were also three mid-level demonic beasts, in an area of 80 square kilometers, unless he actively searched for them, the probability of encountering them was very low.

And even if he did, he still had Little Yellow’s protection and could escape.

Immediately, Jobs decided that César Forest would be the territory of the monster army in the future.

After expanding the army of demonic beasts under his command to a certain extent, he could also take down the three mid-level demonic beasts in the forest and turn them into his pets.

When he truly controlled the entire César Forest in the future, he could even expand his forces and target the high-level demonic beast in the neighboring forest!

However, this was something for the future.

After making up his mind, the most important thing now was to take action.

Jobs immediately headed for the César Forest on the map.
