Chapter 196: Parasite and Xiaobai
"Goblins should also be of dragon lineage, right?"
"This... no!"
"What about Ogres?"
"No!"
"What about Swamp Lizardmen?"
"Yes!"
"What if you parasitize inside a goblin's body, Maggot Dragon? What would happen?"
"Master, it's best not to do that."
"Why not?"
"The upper potential of dragon lineage is higher, but goblins..."
"Got it. What do you think about humans?"
"Very suitable hosts. Humans have weaker mental defenses, making them easier to control."
"What about centaurs?"
"Also a good parasitic race."
"And Swamp Crocodiles, can they be parasitized?"
"Yes!"
"What about Skurg?"
"Yes!"
"And Ogres?"
"Non-dragon lineage beings are not recommended for parasitism."
Before nightfall, Li Meng and Gobu Da returned to the tribe.
"Gobu Da, don't slack off on this task. If you fail, just wait and see how I deal with you!"
Outside the western gate of the tribe, Gobu Da nodded vigorously, bowing obsequiously.
"King, rest assured, I... I guarantee there won't be any problems."
Faced with the king's expressionless gaze, Gobu Da shrank its neck.
"Hmph, you'd better make sure there aren't any problems."
Glancing sharply at Gobu Da, Li Meng turned and left.
Watching the king's departing figure, Gobu Da sighed in relief.
Even though the king had become smaller in stature, the sense of oppression had not diminished in the slightest.
Every slight emotional change from the king made its legs go weak.
"Master, can you stop calling me 'Maggot'?"
"Alright, I'll call you 'Little Worm' then."
"Master, can... can you choose another name?"
"Alright, how about 'Big Worm,' even though you're so tiny."
"Master, please... change it again."
"What, do you want me to call you 'Grand Dragon' or something?"
"I wouldn't dare, Master. I just hope you can give me a pleasant name since I'll be accompanying you forever."
"What do you look like, anyway?"
The Red Centipede was just a host for the Maggot Dragon.
"Entirely white, crystal-clear, semi-transparent, headless, tailless, faceless, and eyeless."
"Then I'll call you 'Little White Dragon.'"
"Uh... Master, could you... drop the 'Dragon' part?"
"Fine, then you'll be 'Xiaobai.'"
Thus, the name Maggot Dragon was consigned to the trash heap of history.
The Maggot Dragon received an elegant new name: "Xiaobai."
Before nightfall, Li Meng returned to the tribe.
The goblins were already used to their king coming and going alone.
However, every time they saw their king return, they couldn't help but cheer.
That night, the lights in the royal palace's inner chambers were brightly lit.
Flames flickered within the sleeping quarters.
"How fast it's grown!"
On the massive bed, Agatha leaned against the headboard, completely naked.
She caressed her swollen belly with a curious expression.
In less than ten days, her belly had grown round and firm.
As for sensations, there was none—only occasional movements from the small life inside her.
Li Meng, sitting beside her, grinned widely.
"Not much longer. In about twenty days, you should give birth."
Agatha rolled her eyes flirtatiously at Li Meng.
"You're so lucky. This is my first time giving birth for a man."
Li Meng sprawled across the bed, his greedy gaze fixed on Agatha beside him.
"Then let me be lucky one more time."
At his words, Agatha smirked and cast him a seductive glance.
She climbed onto him, her movements full of allure.
The previously quiet bedchamber soon became lively again.
Outside the doors, the Lizardwoman maids exchanged glances, a hint of expectation flickering in their eyes.
The Ghost Beastman was already pregnant, so the king wouldn't take too long with her.
Soon, it would be their turn.
Once they were pregnant, they could move into the inner palace and be served by others.
That night, as the hours dragged on, the dawn eventually broke.
As the first rays of sunlight rose in the eastern sky, they heralded the arrival of a new day.
Early the next morning, Li Meng left the Throne Tribe and headed to the Iron Cavern.
"King, will it explode?"
Deep within the Iron Cavern, in a cave filled with fire crystals, Gobu Ge stood at the entrance with the king, observing Skurg inside.
[Flaming Skurg (Elite)]
[Level: 11]
[Strength: 159]
[Defense: 147]
[Agility: 277]
[Magic Power: 387]
[Flame Breath: LV2]
Wangwang had leveled up seven times, with its attributes greatly improved.
Even its Flame Breath skill had advanced by one level.
"It's a descendant of the Fire Dragon lineage. Master, you must move it away from the fire crystals; otherwise, it won't wake up. If it stays here too long, one day it might lose control of the raging fire element within and explode."
Xiaobai's reminder caused Li Meng's expression to change.
Li Meng glanced strangely at Gobu Ge beside him.
Gobu Ge's guess had turned out to be accurate.
Li Meng quickly entered the cave and approached Wangwang.
"Master, squat down!"
Li Meng obediently squatted beside Wangwang.
"Master, open your mouth!"
Li Meng complied, opening his mouth wide.
Soon, he felt an itchy sensation in his throat, as if something was crawling upward.
Moments later, a small white worm emerged from his mouth.
It resembled a semi-transparent silverfish.
Holding the wriggling white worm in his hand, Li Meng's mouth twitched.
This... this was too much!
Suppressing his discomfort, Li Meng brought the sticky worm to Wangwang's mouth.
The crystal-clear white worm wriggled on Li Meng's palm, eventually crawling into Wangwang's mouth.
"Xiaobai, will Wangwang become you, or will you become Wangwang?"
"Master, I can do either."
"Then support it!"
"As you wish, Master."
"Master, with me here, I'll wake it before it reaches its limit."
With Xiaobai's help, there was no need to move Wangwang.
Li Meng hoped Wangwang would grow stronger—it couldn't remain just a tagalong.
Straightening up, Li Meng headed out of the cave.
"King, are you leaving?"
"Yes. With you here, I'm reassured."
Hearing these words, Gobu Ge's face lit up with delight.
The king had praised it!
Gobu Ge quickly followed, a sycophantic smile on its face.
"King, don't worry. I'll handle everything here!"
Li Meng glanced at the Ogres and Ogre Magi working along the underground riverbank, with Benben towering at nearly seven meters tall.
Without disturbing Benben, Li Meng strode away.
After leaving the Iron Cavern, Li Meng returned to the Throne Tribe.
In the following days, he stayed in the Throne Tribe, preparing for battle.
Days passed, and once again, a new day dawned.
Morning. Throne Tribe, Royal Hall.
Li Meng stood before a sand table, gazing intently at the map.
Although he had only glanced at the demon map briefly, its information was etched into his memory.
