Although Austin couldn't find a Magic Beast Crystal Core on the body of the Spider Leader, it doesn't mean that the body is useless. As a powerful Magic Beast of Silver Level, its shell is as hard as copper and iron. Even if a regular Beastman used a wooden spear with all their might here, it wouldn't do any harm. That's why Austin asked the Beastmen to step back.

If this Spider Leader's body were made into Shield Armor and its sharp limbs and tail tip attached to a wooden spear, the equipment produced would be no less than equipment made of copper and iron—perhaps even superior.

These materials from Magic Beasts are specifically acquired for making weapons in the Human World. However, Austin doesn't possess similar knowledge, so he can only make use of its durability attributes. If he could meet a Professional like an Enchanter, these materials could already be used to create Extraordinary Weapons.

After defeating the Spider Leader, there is no longer any danger within the cave. The magic stones acquired here can continuously enhance the Clan Beastmen, upgrading them to the Extraordinary species. This is very significant for the entire Dragon Nest Tribe.

Upon discovering the cave's value, Austin's determination not to relocate increased further.

"However, speaking of which, after the Dragon Vein Transformation, the Dragon Vein Attendants' appetite has greatly increased. Each individual basically consumes over ten pounds of meat daily. Major transformations for the Beastmen can't be done just yet; otherwise, we can't supply the food. It seems we can only first transform a guard squad of thirty people."

Although cleaning the Spider Cave provides enough Sub-Magic Stones to transform the entire Tribe population, greatly enhancing the Dragon Nest Division's strength.

Such transformations would exhaust the Tribe's resources to support so many Extraordinary Beastmen, especially since Austin's plan for the Dragon Nest Tribe's future emphasizes an elite policy, rather than everyone becoming like dragons.

Focusing on a large base of Beastmen, promoting the Breathing Technique, selecting the excellent ones for Dragon Vein Transformation, and channeling a certain amount of resources to the elites is key for further strengthening, ensuring the Dragon Nest Tribe doesn't become a burden.

"Let's deal with these matters later."

After killing the Spider Leader, many thoughts arose in Austin's mind, but he quickly set them aside.

"Take good care of the injured, hurry and find antidote plants for the poisoned, arrange for the deceased, and tidy up here."

After providing post-battle instructions to the subordinate Beastmen, Austin turned his focus back to the Magic Crystals in front of him, as clean as ice shards on the rock layers.

"A very powerful Magic Power. With these, I can absolutely advance further before Grom returns!"

...

Several days later, the sky was gloomy, covered with dark clouds. Lightning flashed and thunder roared as rain fell heavily.

A sudden downpour came quickly. Beastmen working on opening and planting fields in the grassland barely had time to run back to their villages and had to shelter from the rain under large trees.

Meanwhile, atop a mountain peak, Austin stood on the summit amidst howling winds and torrential rain, arcs of lightning tore the dim sky, piercing through the gloom.

Austin's whole body appeared to endure an unimaginable, intense pain, as his eyes shot out red light. Arcs of lightning flashed from his mouth and nose, and dark red steam like molten lava.

"Roar!!"

Suddenly, Austin spread his wings and roared skyward.

Instantly, thunderbolts seemed to descend from the heavens, creating a rumbling sound that echoed miles away, striking Austin with terrifying power.

However, the thunderbolts containing immense power became tame like obedient sheep when they fell within Austin's surrounding area. Arcs of lightning circled around Austin, the terrible power piercing the air, splitting the rock layers underneath inch by inch, causing stones to rise as if losing gravity, before finally being shattered by the rampaging electricity in the air.

Amidst blinding electric light, Austin slowly opened his eyes. The vast and boundless dragon's aura swept out, and intangible pressure spread like waves, expanding in every direction.

"Electric current control...?"

Looking at the circles of electric light surrounding him, crackling sounds emanating, with thunderbolts flickering like tame sheep, stabbing and jumping around him, Austin pondered in thought.

Feeling the thunderbolts respond to his will as if moving his limbs, Austin's expression changed, revealing a fierce grin.

Crackle!

Lightning tore through the air as thunder gathered together before his fierce maw, converging into a shapeshifting Thunderous Paste Ball suspended inside, consolidating terrible power.

In the next moment,

Whoosh!!!

A pillar of blue lightning shot out from Austin's mouth, slicing through space, sweeping past the area in front.

The forest in the distance seemed to be cut by a smooth mirror, burning a void into the tree trunks, leaving the upper sections suspended in the air, as if the lightning laser was so fast that the trees didn't realize they had been cut in half, falling to the ground the next moment with a rumbling sound.

The forest ahead was entirely cut through!

"Nice!"

It had been seven days since the Spider Cave clearing operation. During this time, Austin had consumed a large amount of natural Magic Crystals, replenishing his magic power to a level that he couldn't immediately process, requiring pauses before consuming more Magic Crystals to increase his strength.

Using these abundant magic materials, Austin's strength significantly increased. Not only had he grown larger, but his scales and claws were also tougher and sharper, and Austin had successfully unlocked a third Talent Magic.

Electric current control, or more aptly termed Thunder Control.

This Talent Magic is similar to the first Talent Magic according to gaming terminology, both falling into the category of passive skills.

With this Talent Magic unlocked, Austin could control electric currents at will, even directing the formidable thunderbolts of the world to produce powerful and terrifying forces.

The thunderbolt beam Austin expelled earlier was born from extremely condensed Thunder Liquid, forming into a line before discharging as a terribly powerful lightning beam.

Mastering this Talent Magic, Austin could essentially become a controlling force over the thunder above the nine heavens.

Of course, the extent of control is limited; the magnitude of magic within the body determines the scope over which thunder can be wielded.

The thunderbolt beam used earlier almost drained the majority of Austin's internal magic.

But even so, this magnitude significantly enhances Austin's current power.
