The exaggerated attribute bonuses left Li Meng completely stunned.

He hadn't expected the skill cap acquired from Gobu Ba to be so high.

Skills with a touch of the divine were indeed formidable.

That night, the night grew deeper.

The next morning, Li Meng left the ogre's lair.

Benben didn't leave with him to return to the throne tribe.

It would stay at the ogre's lair for a while.

Without Benben following, Li Meng returned to the throne tribe in just half a day.

In the morning, in the Throne Hall.

"Can it really work?"

Li Meng sat upright on the throne.

In his hand, he held a black enchanted carving knife.

On the table before him lay a mask made of mithril.

"Any magic can be released through a rune magic array."

"Even magic I don't know?"

"Different rune magic arrays have different structures, as long as I know them, it's fine."

Li Meng carefully began engraving on the mask.

"Xiao Bai, are we making alchemical equipment?"

"Alchemical equipment? What's that? Master, we're making a magical artifact."

"Will it really work?"

"Of course, it can conceal your true identity from the strong."

"Can't I just wear a hooded robe?"

"No, that's completely useless against those with x-ray vision."

"I see, I understand now."

In the Throne Hall, Li Meng focused intently on engraving the rune magic array under Xiao Bai's guidance.

"By the way, why am I looking for trouble with the Skeletal Dragon King?"

As he engraved, Li Meng recalled his future self.

The purpose of killing the Skeletal Dragon King seemed to be for the Bone Jade.

Could it be Xiao Bai's request?

"Xiao Bai, do you have a grudge against the Dragon God?"

"Yes, a deep-seated grudge."

"Do you want revenge?"

"Yes, very much!"

"What kind of being is the Dragon God?"

"I don't know, ever since I was sealed, there's been no news of it."

"Since it's a god, it should be famous in this world, right?"

"No, not many know of the Dragon God's existence."

"Why? Isn't it said that most intelligent races on the Augus continent are Dragonborn?"

"Too much time has passed, even long-lived races forget things over time."

"Do you want me to avenge you?"

"I... I don't know."

"Do you think I can't do it?"

"Yes, at least not the current master."

"By the way, what exactly is the Maggot Dragon Curse?"

"It forces me to survive by consuming the host's life force."

"Is there no way to lift the curse?"

"There is, kill the Dragon God and the curse will naturally disappear."

"That's not an easy task."

"Yes, it's very difficult."

"There will always be a way, let time become the blade to slay the Dragon God."

"Master, aren't you afraid I'm using you?"

"It doesn't matter, we each seek what we need. If you can help me, I don't mind going after the Dragon God if I have the ability."

"Master, I'm saying the contract might not be effective."

"Though I'm a goblin, I'm not stupid. A special existence like you can't be treated as an ordinary creature. You have the ability to split, but the split entities probably have their own independent consciousness, otherwise, the Ancient Dragon wouldn't have betrayed you."

"Master, I deceived you. Although I signed a contract with you, many split entities are still independent. They are scattered across the world and didn't die because of the contract with you. I have a mental connection with them, but there's no hierarchy. I can communicate with them about what they want to do, but I can't control them."

"I guessed as much, it was expected."

Li Meng didn't have much emotional reaction to being deceived.

Life is inherently selfish.

Everything is considered from the perspective of one's own interests.

"Will your current split entities not go out of control?"

"No, they will inherit the contract from me."

"That's good, let's let this matter pass!"

"Master, thank you."

"Xiao Bai, is the Skeletal Dragon King strong?"

"Very strong, one of the thirteen exceptional powerhouses."

"Exceptional powerhouses? What's that?"

"Exceptional powerhouses are beings with extraordinary power. There's an exceptional ranking on the Augus continent, and the top thirteen are the strongest. Each of them is a force to be reckoned with, feared by many. Even those ranked one hundred on the exceptional list possess extraordinary power, and the Skeletal Dragon King is one of the top thirteen, ranked fifth."

So, why am I looking for the Skeletal Dragon King?

Although my future self defeated the Skeletal Dragon King.

Li Meng still felt a bit insecure about his strength.

In less than four years, could he really become one of the top powerhouses in this world?

"No, it's probably not like that."

Li Meng recalled his actions before killing the Skeletal Dragon King, seeking out the Light Slime.

Light elements are the nemesis of undead creatures.

It was clear that before killing the Skeletal Dragon King, he had made thorough preparations.

Time passed bit by bit, day by day.

In the following days, Li Meng focused on one thing.

Engraving dense rune magic arrays on the mask.

Another new day, in the morning.

"Is it done?"

Li Meng looked at the mask in his hand with curiosity.

As long as magic is infused into the mask, the rune magic array on it will disappear.

After more than half a month, Li Meng's hands were almost stiff.

The difficulty of engraving the rune magic array was beyond Li Meng's imagination.

"Master, try wearing it."

Li Meng curiously put on the mask.

As soon as he put it on, a magical scene unfolded.

The mask quickly liquefied.

In an instant, it enveloped Li Meng's entire head.

Li Meng instantly became a faceless person.

The magical thing was that although the mask blocked his vision.

His eyes seemed unable to perceive the mask's existence.

Li Meng tapped his finger on the table.

A cloud of white mist suddenly emerged.

With a "crackling" sound, a small ice wall rose up.
