Chapter 312: A Game That Requires Two Monsters to Play.
Jie Jie paused his busy movements, stepping over the shaking silk threads and climbing towards the outer circle of the Disc Silk Formation.
Something had intruded into his Disc Silk Formation.
Within his line of sight appeared a Blue Bear Beast, currently trying to break free from the entangling silk threads. Upon seeing the approaching Queen Mantis, it let out an angry roar.
Jie Jie didn’t respond to the Blue Bear Beast’s roar but instead crossed his arms, stroking his chin as he recalled the moment when the Queen Mantis tried to control the Giant Halberd Dragon.
And now, with the Blue Bear Beast ensnared by the silk threads, it seemed like a downward red arrow appeared on its back—
Control the beast through attack!
This was the perfect time for him to control the Blue Bear Beast!
The joint loosened the silk threads, leaping onto the Blue Bear Beast’s back and tightly grabbing hold.
Saying “grab” wasn’t quite right, because his size was larger than the Blue Bear Beast’s, making it more like two pairs of legs hugging the Blue Bear Beast’s waist.
This embrace instantly made the Blue Bear Beast compliant, crouching on the ground and trembling in fear.
But the reaction of the puppet didn’t matter much to the puppet master. The silk threads wrapped around the limbs and joints of the Blue Bear Beast, controlled by corresponding limbs, began to strain.
The stiffened limbs of the Blue Bear Beast were lifted, moving awkwardly like the Old Mountain Dragon.
However, once lifted, they couldn’t come back down, resisting gravity and remaining rigid in mid-air.
And the pair of limbs embracing the Blue Bear Beast’s waist gave him the answer; the intense fear he instilled caused the fatty waist of the Blue Bear Beast to tighten like muscle.
“Such a pity, I’m hungry.”
The scythe-like Praying Mantis Arms descended, hooking onto the Blue Bear Beast’s neck and tearing open the throat swiftly to end its fear.
Jie Jie returned to the fortress carrying the corpse of the Blue Bear Beast. Besides gunpowder, the hunters left behind some supplies, naturally including barbecue tools and seasonings.
After transforming into the Sky Dog Beast, he skinned the meat, skewered it, started a fire, and began grilling!
The flames gently licked the grilled meat, turning the plump meat chunks dry and firm. The strong aroma of the meat rose along with the flames, entering the nostrils of the Sky Dog Beast.
His sharp nails sliced open the meat as he leaned in to judge if it was cooked.
He sprinkled seasoning on the roasted meat before taking a bite.
Compared to when he first arrived at the New Continent, both the quality of ingredients and his grilling skills had significantly improved, yet he still felt something was missing.
Casually handing the roasted meat to the side, no monster rudely bit into it.
Sharing the roasted meat makes it better, after all.
Jie Jie lightly shook his head and glanced at the nest behind him.
The nest is also something that should be shared.
With half of the Blue Bear Beast left uneaten, Jie Jie decided not to turn back to fight any mechas. Instead, he planned to do something that required two monsters together.
What requires two monsters?
Of course, it’s spinning silk threads~

Dragon Control Experience Increasing↑
Controlling dragons emphasizes letting them follow your lead rather than micromanaging every small movement.
For example, the Thunder Wolf Dragon beneath Jie Jie was exceptionally obedient, lifting its paws only to lower them again naturally while running freely.
Although its emotions might not be natural, with occasional flashes of lightning on its spine, the Thunder Light Bugs inside didn’t dare to peek out.
After all, bugs understand bugs best—this knowledge comes from eating them.
The driving force for this Thunder Wolf Dragon’s run came from panic, and he only needed to pull its upper body with silk threads to change its direction.
If he wanted it to speed up, a punch would suffice—just like spurring a horse, one whip makes it a fast horse!
“Waaaah!”
That single mantis punch seemed too effective, causing the Thunder Wolf Dragon to directly lie prostrate, too scared to move.
“You, move!”
Hearing the ferocious snarl from its back, the Thunder Wolf Dragon’s body began to tremble.
Feeling the lack of determination from the Thunder Wolf Dragon beneath him, Jie Jie reluctantly dismounted.
He slightly loosened the silk thread bindings.
The Thunder Wolf Dragon moved; its prostrate limbs sighed, and its body transformed into a green shadow, dashing away in an attempt to escape the Demon King beside it.
“Tsk.”
Jie Jie had foreseen this, releasing the grip of the Queen Mantis’ last limb and pulling the partially loosened silk threads, ascending onto the Thunder Wolf Dragon’s back faster than its escape, restoring the dragon-controlling state.
Unfortunately, the Thunder Wolf Dragon didn’t run far before stopping again.
Perhaps because he had used this trick many times already.
From initially being able to sprint super-fast for tens of kilometers, to now only managing five hundred meters before stopping—it seemed to have realized it could never escape from under the Demon King’s thighs and began to give up on itself.
This Thunder Wolf Dragon wouldn’t do; he needed a new one with the drive to escape.
Unfortunately, in these desolate hills, Thunder Wolf Dragons were rarer than cabbage.
Jie Jie jumped off the Thunder Wolf Dragon again, as expected, it didn’t even bother to get up, panting heavily, clearly exhausted from battling its own willpower.
Tying the silk threads around the Thunder Wolf Dragon’s neck, he began leading it toward the Ruin City.
The Thunder Wolf Dragon remained motionless on the ground until Jie Jie approached to lift it, whereupon it suddenly lunged forward to bite.
“Bang!”
The reaction speed of the mantis arms was very quick, delivering a mantis punch to the Thunder Wolf Dragon’s face, flipping it over and making it whimper.
Jie Jie crossed his mantis arms, quietly waiting for it to rise, dragging the reluctant Thunder Wolf Dragon unwilling to take another bite toward the Ruin City.
Securing the Thunder Wolf Dragon to the side with silk threads, he transformed into the Sky Dog Beast and resumed roasting the Blue Bear Beast’s meat.
Naturally, the Thunder Wolf Dragon was startled by the transformation but quickly reacted, starting to tear at the silk threads.
“Bang!”
A punch from the Sky Dog Beast wasn’t as powerful as the Queen Mantis’, but it was enough to make the Thunder Wolf Dragon feel pain and behave.
Jie Jie’s gaze returned to the roasted meat.
The temperature had dropped sharply these past two days, and it started snowing. He instinctively thought the Ice Curse Dragon had visited, but after searching without results, he realized winter had arrived.
The climate zones of the New Continent were distinct; tropical rainforests and deserts in the far south wouldn’t snow, and Dragon Crystal Land only entered winter during the Ice Curse Dragon’s arrival.
The Coral Land Plateau could see snow, but due to the rising air currents, coral eggs and coral ash flying everywhere, the snow wasn’t noticeable.
Since it was snowing, the meat needed to be roasted longer.
Clearly, the Thunder Wolf Dragon could distinguish between the stench of bombs and the aroma of roasted meat, so it howled again, trying to break free to snatch the meat he was roasting.
Jie Jie’s gaze turned playful as he swung the roasted meat left and right in front of the Thunder Wolf Dragon, slowly bringing it to his mouth and delicately tearing it apart with his beak.
After finishing, he reinforced the silk threads and continued roasting more meat, offering it to the Thunder Wolf Dragon’s mouth.
“Huff!”
“Stupid dog! You bit my hand!!!”
