Chapter 479: Three Familiars Preparing For Advancement
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Overlooking the limitless ocean from the sky of the East China Sea, one couldn’t help but feel the vast and limitless size of the world. Constant waves surged in the clear blue East China Sea. Herds of sea beasts that stirred up the huge waves exposed their scales on the sea’s surface.
Generally, the number of ocean monsters was higher, generally higher than the number of those on land. This had to do largely with the huge density and quant.i.ty of the ocean monsters.
For ages, ocean monsters had been bigger than those on land in terms of size. In addition, the number of ocean species also far exceeded the ones on land—this was due to the fact that there was less destruction, so the protection of the natural ecosystem was better.
With more data, human beings still didn’t understand that the compet.i.tions in the ocean were far crueler than they could imagine. Only the fittest would survive; the monsters that had survived and were transformed were those that had special features.
The Desolate Frost Lion crouched on Gao Peng’s shoulder and said quietly, “Gao Peng, there’s a huge guy in the sea.”
He lowered his head and saw a dark shadow hidden under the sea, following them along the way. Gao Peng asked the Skeleton Dragon to stop, then the dark shadow in the sea also stopped simultaneously.
That’s interesting. The corner of Gao Peng’s mouth curved up. Let’s use what I’ve learned. “Dumby, let the Amorphic h.e.l.l Tree cast the Dreadful Aura.”
Rooted on the back of one of the flying familiars, when the Amorphic h.e.l.l Tree that had its roots’ feelers buried received the order, the branches on its head shook lightly, and it released an unnamed terrifying force.
“Eeyaaah!” Tong Ling called out with her eyes closed tightly. She could only feel her scalp go numb.
Tong Xiang also looked pale, but now he was being controlled by mental strength. Even if he fainted, he didn’t have to worry about falling.
Gao Peng saw all of this. It was just a preview of the Dreadful Aura of the Amorphic h.e.l.l Tree that wasn’t directed at them but was merely an insignificant precursor.
The huge monster hiding under the sea shook a few times, then suddenly, it broke through the water. Its gigantic body broke through the seawater, the sparkling waves shone in the sun, and its huge wings, which were as thick as dark clouds, caused a huge cras.h.i.+ng roar.
“Ugh…” For a moment, Gao Peng was in a trance and felt like a mountain was about to drop down on him. He was embarra.s.sed. He hadn’t thought that the Dreadful Aura would not only fail to chase it away, but would actually anger this gigantic monster.
Dumby leaped up and turned into a ball of ferocious dark golden energy, like a charging shadow. Compared to the size of the huge whale beneath them, Dumby seemed incomparable… Looking from a distance, it looked like a comet hitting the earth.
Pang! A transparent shockwave spread from where the attack hit. Meanwhile a surge of blood spilled out like a waterfall. The giant whale cried out in pain. Flipping in mid-air, it returned into the sea quickly to escape and disappeared.
Dumby floated on the surface of the water, became the Yin Soul Dominator, then flew into the sky. “Master, it has escaped,” Dumby said quietly.
Dumby, who was worried about Gao Peng’s safety, didn’t dare to give chase rashly. Moreover, the ocean wasn’t a familiar battle environment for it, so it had failed to take down the giant whale immediately.
“Yeah, let’s go back.” Gao Peng looked at the spot where the giant whale had disappeared while nodding.
To not allow Dumby to pursue and kill it had been Gao Peng’s intention. The monster just now was at the King tier; moreover, it was Perfect-grade, its skin was very thick, and it had the potential to advance to the Emperor tier.
To be able to reach the King tier during this period was very rare. It could even be called a proud talent of the monster universe. Killing one meant there would be one less.
If all of them were killed, then where would they find Emperor-tier, as well as souls of Overlord-tier monsters, for Dumby’s undead subordinates…?
Gao Peng felt that he really did have vision.
“Silly, come here and help me hold the umbrella.” Gao Peng leaned back casually and waved toward Silly, who wasn’t far away.
Silly floated over and took a parasol out from its portable s.p.a.ce and held it above Gao Peng. Then it took a manual hairdryer and aimed it at Gao Peng before blowing it at him randomly. “I’ll cool you to death! I’ll cool you to death!”
“Haha, silly guy. This won’t do. Why don’t I teach you a thing or two?” said Gao Peng while laughing.
Silly stopped, then looked cautiously at Gao Peng. “No. Don’t want to learn. I don’t listen.” Silly snorted proudly. It felt that it had probably annoyed the dumb Gao Peng to death. As it thought of this, Silly threw another glance at Gao Peng to see if he was genuinely mad.
After spending a month in the Southern Sky Group, one could say that Gao Peng had returned with a great haul.
Not only did he bring back five King-tier undead familiars, but he also had a bunch of materials and ingredients. In fact, Gao Peng had already reached Huaxia around a week before, and then, in the remaining time, he had been on the famous Daze Mountain.
However, the Huaxia district had too many famous Daze Mountains, so during this time, Gao Peng only went to a few. Even so, Gao Peng had gained a lot of things. One could easily tell that from that unbelievably bright smile hanging on his face.
Upon his return to the Southern Sky Group, Gao Peng walked behind Da Zi, who was sitting on its b.u.t.t while making holes. He jumped up and kicked its b.u.t.t.
“Da Zi, did you miss me, your master?”
Da Zi, who had just been kicked on the b.u.t.t, popped its head out of the hole. Upon seeing that it was Gao Peng, its eyes brightened. “Gao Peng, you’re back.”
After saying that, it pushed Gao Peng to the ground. “Gao Peng, help me dig a hole.”
“Dig a hole?”
“Yes. Don’t centipedes sleep inside holes? I don’t think that I can ask you to sleep with me outside every day, so I will make a home for myself,” said Da Zi with plenty of fighting spirit.
“So you’ve prepared to make a hole for yourself.” Gao Peng nodded.
“Yes, yes. Gao Peng, you’re smart to have actually guessed this.”
Didn’t you just tell me though…? “Then this hole is deep enough.”
“It’s collapsed five times. Every time I finish digging it, it collapses after a while.” Da Zi seemed a little depressed.
“Then, how did you dig it?”
“Just like this. Going downward!” After it finished speaking, Da Zi imitated its movements. A left and a right, its two claws moved very quickly.
Gao Peng was speechless. “Forget it. I’ll ask someone to dig you a tunnel tomorrow. You can stop torturing the field now. Look what you’ve turned it into,” said Gao Peng while pointing at the gra.s.s field that looked like it had been plowed through by ten thousand huskies.
Grandpa isn’t in the group right now. I have no idea where he went. The White Dragon and Silver Dragon have also been taken away by Grandpa. The only ones left are the Primitive Jade Armored Crocodile and the Thunder Sh.e.l.l Lord.
Otherwise, this overactive husky would have been locked up long ago.
“Flamy, come here.” Gao Peng waved at Flamy, who was looking around not far away from him. Flamy pointed at itself in delight before flying towards him after being a.s.sured by Gao Peng.
After Gao Peng returned, big mouth Silly had already boasted about all the good things it had received.
The huge group of familiars looked at Gao Peng just like the concubines and queen of the harem of an ancient palace had awaited the love and affection of the emperor, waiting for Gao Peng to point at them and talk to them.
“Moneymaker, Flowing Light, the two of you come here, as well.” Gao Peng waved at the two shorties from far away with a bright smile.
Go, Flowing Light, you’re the best! You’re finally going to grow taller! Flowing Light pumped itself up.
