"Centipedes are ferocious by nature. If you want to train them, you have to let them fight continuously with their prey. Then, you have to feed them raw meat every meal to maintain their ferocity. This is the best way to develop their combat power." The security captain wanted to jump down from the branch, but after looking at the height of the branch, he decided to climb down slowly with all four of his limbs.
His pretentiousness was gone in an instant …
"You know how to train them?" Gao Peng was still a little doubtful. The security captain in front of him didn't look like an expert in training.
"Hmph, kid, don't look down on me. This Devil Mantis in my house was trained by me personally." The security captain stretched out his right hand, and a Devil Mantis suddenly appeared on his left side, half-squatting on the ground. Its strong chest rose and fell as it breathed.
"But I specialize in mantises. Just because I'm proficient in mantises doesn't mean I'm proficient in centipedes. If you want to train this centipede into a killing machine, you have to find a professional. I can only give you some advice and suggestions," the security captain said with a straight face.
"Well, thank you, sir." Gao Peng nodded to express his gratitude.
"Sir, do you know who's an expert in centipede training in Chang 'an City?" Gao Peng suddenly asked.
The security captain was stunned for a moment. This was the first time someone had called him sir, and it made him feel weird.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "There are a few experts in Chang 'an City who are famous for their centipede familiars, but that's because their centipede familiars are already very strong. There's only one expert who is famous for his training." The security captain's eyes showed a trace of seriousness. "The head of the Five Poison Dojo, Cao Jinyan."
"But Cao Jinyan is a loner, and it's hard for ordinary people to get close to him. It's said that all of Cao Jinyan's relatives died during the cataclysm, so his temper is very bad. Don't mention anything related to your relatives in front of him."
"Oh, then forget it. I'll train on my own first." Gao Peng suddenly lost interest. He wasn't used to sticking his hot face to someone who was cold to him. Besides, he didn't know if they would fart in his face.
A familiar's combat experience was gained through actual combat training. Gao Peng thought to himself. He knew what to do, and he had his own confidence.
The security captain's mouth opened wide. This … this is different from what we agreed on. This wasn't how the script was supposed to go!
The security captain's actions were too deliberate. One who offered help for no reason was hiding evil intentions.
Gao Peng turned around and left without hesitation.
.....
The three-day excursion ended quickly.
Although there were a small number of monsters in the outskirts, their levels were not high. They were only normal monsters. Furthermore, the Devil Mantises were everywhere, secretly protecting them. It was rare for an accident to occur.
Over the past few days, the students had officially come into contact with wild monsters in their daily lives. Unlike domesticated monsters, domesticated monsters were mostly gentle and rarely got angry. On the other hand, wild monsters were wild and hard to tame. Being able to come into contact with these wild monsters would greatly improve the students' future and practical abilities.
Sitting in the car, Da Zi lay quietly at Gao Peng's feet as he watched the scenery outside the window turn into a blurry ribbon of light. Compared to a few days ago, Da Zi's appearance and body shape hadn't changed much. However, upon closer inspection, one could clearly see that Da Zi's eyes were more ferocious than before.
His limbs shone with a cold light, and an undetectable murderous aura lingered between his jaws.
In addition to the daily routine of training Da Zi's agility and explosive power, Da Zi had been constantly fighting with wild monsters in the forest for the past few days.
There was even one time when Da Zi was attacked by a Bullet Beetle at the most dangerous moment. His head was almost blown off. The centipede's head was his fatal weakness. It was also the weakest part of his body.
Although his head was protected by a thick and hard shell, under the hard shell was his fragile brain.
That injury had almost killed Da Zi. At the last moment, the security captain's familiar, a Mutant Devil Mantis, had killed the Bullet Beetle and saved Da Zi's life.
Gao Peng gently touched Da Zi's skull. There was an area there that was different in color from the surrounding area. The color was much lighter. This was the area where the Bullet Beetle had pierced.
It took a full day to heal, but even so, Gao Peng was very shocked. Such a fast healing speed … As expected of a monster. Before the Cataclysm, this level of healing speed was unimaginable.
The school bus passed by the school and continued to drive towards the city. Finally, everyone got off at the city center.
Murong Qiuye adjusted his glasses and lowered his head to open a black leather notebook. He warned, "After getting off the bus, all of you must go home on time. Don't go to any monster amusement park or horror house adventures. Especially don't go to the Colosseum! After half an hour, I will call your parents one by one. If I find out that anyone sneaked out to play and didn't go home on time, you will be punished to copy a book ten times. "
"Oh … Got it." The group of half-grown boys and girls answered weakly.
After getting off the bus, Tan Qianjin came up to Gao Peng with a smile and patted him on the shoulder. "Do you want to go to the Colosseum to take a look?"
"No, I still have to go home on time," Gao Peng politely refused.
"But didn't you …" Tan Qianjin wanted to say something, but then he suddenly smiled awkwardly as he thought of something and apologized.
"It's okay." Gao Peng shook his head to show that it was okay. Three years had allowed him to accept reality calmly. He wasn't like those teenagers who had too much self-esteem and would explode at the slightest touch. He also wasn't jealous of the world because he lost his parents.
On the contrary, he had personally experienced pain, which made him cherish life more.
"Okay." Tan Qianjin felt a little regretful. He wanted to say something, but Gao Peng had already turned and left. Looking at Gao Peng's thin back, Tan Qianjin swallowed the words he wanted to say.
Gao Peng pursed his lips lightly. He held Da Zi's hand and blended into the crowd, gradually disappearing into the crowd.
"Little Gao Peng, you're back," Uncle Liu said to Gao Peng, who was holding Da Zi's hand, as he strolled leisurely in the neighborhood's garden.
"Uncle Liu." Gao Peng smiled and nodded to Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu was his neighbor who had just moved in two years ago. At that time, Gao Peng was at his most painful and darkest moment. It was also because of Uncle Liu's teachings that Gao Peng's initial morbid state of mind changed.
He heard that Uncle Liu's children had all died in an accident during the Cataclysm, leaving him alone. So the two of them, one old and one young, who had the same experience, quietly became friends despite their age difference. Many things that Gao Peng didn't want to talk to outsiders about, he would talk to Uncle Liu.
"Hey, this little centipede looks more energetic than the last time I saw it. Xiao Gao, did you bring it to see blood?" Uncle Liu asked in surprise.
"Yeah, I just came back from Mingjing Lake in the suburbs. I stayed there for three days." Gao Peng nodded.
"Mm, not bad. Things like centipedes are different from familiars like dogs and cats. These familiars live by fighting, so they need to see blood." Uncle Liu paused, then continued, "But although this centipede's breed is not bad, it's still just a Normal grade. You have to choose your first familiar carefully. If you don't mind, I can give you two pretty good familiars to nurture." Uncle Liu smiled.
(PS: Explain the reason for the difference between the younger generation and the adults, fix the settings, and fix the bugs.)
As mentioned before, one can only sign a Blood Contract when they're 18 years old. You can't sign a Blood Contract if you're not 18 years old. The initial period of the Cataclysm was the time when changes were the most intense. It was also the time when evolution and mutation were the craziest. So, during the initial period, many adults grew up quickly, and so did their familiars.
The protagonist's generation couldn't sign a Blood Contract because there was a precedent. When a minor signed a Blood Contract, their soul wasn't fully developed, resulting in a backlash from their familiars.
