He probably didn’t mean this, right?

The Red Dragon Queen pointed her claw into the air, and a portal appeared. By entering this portal, one could reach a resource-rich tropical rainforest. This place, abundant in food and rainfall, was evidently more suitable for the survival of ogres. 

The Red Dragon Queen lay down, presenting her graceful back to Alexander: "Come, sit on my back, I will take you to a place truly suitable for you."

Alexander looked at Star, Foreskin, and the female slaves, feeling a bit reluctant to leave.

The Red Dragon Queen sneered, "Don't be sentimental. If you really care about them, the best thing you can do is to quickly increase your strength, or they will all die."

"Have you made up your mind?"

Alexander clenched his fist, walked over to the back of the Red Dragon Queen, and sat down.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

The Red Dragon Queen took off with great speed, flapping her wings. Her back was very soft, and Alexander fell asleep on it.

When Alexander woke up, he found himself above a vast sea. Suddenly, a wave shot up a thousand meters high, soaking him completely.

Looking down, Alexander was utterly shocked. It was a level nine magical beast, the Titan Whale!

The whale was enormous, at least ten thousand meters long, almost merging with the sea!

Fortunately, this whale was not aggressive; it was just surfacing for air.

At that moment, Alexander saw land and forests on the distant horizon.

Meanwhile, in the Black Forest, in an ogre tribe.

Tens of thousands of ogres were gathered outside a cave, their expressions grave, eyes fixed in one direction.

This cave was the trial ground for ogres. Only those who came out alive could become ogre warriors with awakened bloodline powers.

This time, a thousand young ogres had entered, but after two days, none had come out.

The ogres were getting more and more impatient, until the morning of the third day, when they started to emerge from the cave, one after another. Each ogre that crawled out of the cave was visibly excited, as if reborn.

"Chief James, look, it's Reiz, Cain, and Louis, they've survived," an elder ogre said excitedly.

Just then, a young ogre with a burly figure, but whose name no one could recall, strode out confidently.

Seeing this, joy appeared in James' eyes: "By the Titan God, our tribe has gained four more bloodline warriors!"

The chief came to Alexander's side and patted his shoulder vigorously: "Young man, you did well. What's your name, whose child are you?"

Alexander replied with a response he had thought through: "My name is Alexander, and I am an orphan. I have been living alone in the forest."

"Oh, your background is really pitiful, but don't worry, if you don't mind, I would like to be your elder brother. I'll help you build the sturdiest hut and marry the most beautiful ogre girl in the tribe!"

James patted Alexander's back heartily, expressing his joy for the addition of a new bloodline warrior to the tribe.

Alexander didn't respond; he appreciated James's kindness but thought marrying an ogre girl might not be the best suggestion.

…

As soon as they entered the valley, the gathered ogres looked at Alexander with joy, curiosity, and relief.

Of course, this welcome was also for Reiz, Cain, and Midy, who had also become bloodline warriors.

"Alexander, Reiz, Cain, Midy, wait for me; I'll go fetch the beast skins from our storage," James said with a laugh, beckoning to several elder ogre warriors and leading them deep into the valley.

After watching the chief leave, Midy turned to Alexander.

"Let's go pick a spot to build our huts. Don't you want to have beautiful ogre girls living in your own hut soon?"

Reiz and Cain laughed heartily, not hiding their excitement and joy.

As an ogre, showing off one's strength wasn't just about physical prowess and power but also by the number of girls in one's hut.

Deep in the valley, the most prestigious area of the ogre gathering place and the exclusive residential area for ogre bloodline warriors, Alexander chose a spot to build his hut.

It was a rather rearward area, next to an older ogre warrior.

After choosing the location, it didn't take long for James to arrive with a group of ogres carrying beast skins.

"Alexander, look, these beast skins are provided by the tribe for your hut! They are all top-quality, whole skins, personally selected by me from the storeroom!"

James laughed heartily, waving his left hand, and the ogres stepped forward, starting to dig and bury bones for building Alexander's hut.

James took a huge hammer from an ogre and smilingly handed it to Alexander.

"Alexander, you must hammer in the first beast bone of the hut!"

Alexander didn't hesitate, taking the huge hammer and channeling his bloodline power.

The next second, a black tattoo appeared on Alexander's arm, a ball of black flame appeared in his hand, followed by a loud shout from Alexander.

The hammer fell, driving the first beast bone for the hut deep into the ground, nearly invisible.

"Good! Worthy of being my brother!" Seeing this, James's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but laugh heartily.

...

The next morning, Alexander woke up from his sleep and stepped out of his hut.

Not far from his hut, a bonfire was burning at the entrance, with several pieces of magical beast meat roasting on a wooden frame beside it.

Alexander's arrival brightened the eyes of a few elderly ogre warriors waiting there.

They had all heard about what happened yesterday; Alexander was the only young person in many years who had walked out of the trial grounds standing.

"Alexander, you've come just in time, the deer meat is almost ready!" said Sam, Alexander's neighbor, a somewhat hunched ogre.

"Hey, Sam, your body and your huge axe are both sharp and spirited!" Alexander complimented the old ogre as he sat down next to him.

"Wahaha… Alexander, you're right, I was even more formidable than you in my youth! Sadly, my bloodline talent was too weak to ascend to higher level!!"

Alexander just smiled, took a piece of deer meat from the grill, and bit into it.

After eating a few pieces of the roasted meat, another elderly ogre casually raised his head and spoke.

"Sam, I remember seeing your war beast when I was young. This young man will eventually have to try his luck in the Abyss Cave. Do you have anything to tell him?"

The ogre's words suddenly quieted the atmosphere.

Everyone in the tribe knew that Sam had once had an abyssal beast as his fighting partner.

This was Sam's glory but also his scar.

Sam's war beast had fallen in battle during the last Dark Tide. Since then, Sam had been dispirited.

Originally capable of entering a higher realm with his war beast, Sam had lost his ambition and ceased all training.

Sam didn't respond, his eyes blankly staring at the bonfire, lost in thought.

Alexander wanted to ask about the Abyss Cave, but seeing the mood, he didn't pursue the question.

Alexander hastened his eating. After finishing, he stood up, nodded to everyone, and turned to leave.

However, just as Alexander had walked less than ten steps away, Sam's hoarse voice came from behind.

"Alexander, if you enter the Abyss Cave and wish to gain something, then show your strength, whatever that strength may be."

Alexander paused, looking at his cock thoughtfully, "He probably didn't mean this, right?"

"Thank you for your advice, Sam!"

After thanking him, Alexander turned and walked towards James's hut.

Once Alexander had left, an elderly ogre let out a hoarse laugh.

"Sam, you're deceiving the young again!"

"Yeah! Sam, you always say this to the young ones, but not a single ogre has succeeded!"

"I think it's all about luck with war beasts!"

"..."

Elder ogre Sam didn't respond to the others, his eyes still blankly fixed on the bonfire.

"Deception?"

"Those who understand will understand; more words are useless to those who don't!"

"I hope Alexander grasps the meaning of those words!"

Sam thought to himself, silently reminiscing about his departed companion.
