"Yes, that's Li Qing and Qin Yi." Li Qing wasn't annoyed. He and Qin Yi got along well and had formed a monster hunting team after the Cataclysm.
People in the circle who were familiar with each other had joked about this before. There was nothing to be angry about. Instead, it was quite amusing.
Although the others didn't seem to care, Gao Peng didn't want to continue joking about other people's names.
"My real name is Chen Xuehe," said Director Chen to Gao Peng and Uncle Liu, introducing himself to them.
Gao Peng looked at Director Chen's familiars. Director Chen's familiars were three Commander tier Broad-toothed Iron Worms. One of them was at level 30, the highest level. As for the other two, one was Level 24 and the other was Level 25. They were smaller than the Level 30 one.
Li Qing's familiars were a level 24 Bramble Steel-Skinned Pig and a level 21 Poison Blood Green Snake.
Qin Yi's familiar was a level 27 Flamingo. It had nothing to do with the flamingos of the Mediterranean Sea, except for the name. There were faint traces of flames on its feathers, and its eyes were bright.
It wasn't easy to raise a familiar. First of all, every familiar had a normal level limit. Depending on the individual, there would be a slight difference in this level limit. It was very easy to break through before reaching the limit, but after reaching the limit, every increase in level required more effort and a higher price.
Other than that, there was another convenient method, which was to evolve the type of familiar.
For example, if a wolf evolved into a tiger, its level limit would increase significantly. All it needed to do was eat a lot of nutritious food to quickly increase its level.
As the president of the Monster Breeder Association, Director Chen definitely wasn't short on money. However, these Broad-toothed Iron Worms should have reached the limit long ago. Otherwise, the highest level one wouldn't be only at level 30.
This time, Gao Peng brought along Da Zi, Dumb, Silly, Abba, and Flamy.
After Uncle Liu's hard work, Flamy had reached level 19. She was very close to breaking through to Commander tier. Generally speaking, there was a high chance of awakening special characteristics when advancing to Commander tier.
"Did you bring all your familiars?" Director Chen was a little surprised.
"… You keep your familiars at home?" Gao Peng was speechless.
"There are two subdued beasts with low combat strength, so I didn't bring them with me." Director Chen shook his head.
"I just signed a contract with a Commander tier monster cub. I'm raising it at home right now," Qin Yi said.
"…" Then, Gao Peng looked at the five familiars that were squeezed together. It was as if he had brought along a family. He had brought both the big and small familiars with him.
"It's alright. I've brought all my familiars with me. We're all going into battle," Uncle Liu comforted.
Gao Peng nodded. He glanced at Uncle Liu's other familiar and felt a little relieved.
Apart from Softy, Uncle Liu also brought a familiar.
It was a six-meter-long, ordinary-looking green lizard.
The large green lizard squinted its eyes as it lay on the ground. It was extremely quiet and did not make the slightest sound. It did not look very terrifying.
However, its attributes were a little frightening.
[Monster Name]: Shadow Japalura
[Monster Level]: 39
[Monster Grade]: Perfect
[Monster Ability]: Hardened Skin Level 2
[Special Characteristics]: Shadow Killer (Passive Effect 1: When it is stationary, it blends in perfectly with its surroundings. At the same time, its temperature is the same as the surrounding environment. Passive Effect 2: Its special skin allows it to absorb sound and sound waves. When it moves, the sound it makes is extremely faint, almost undetectable.)
A Nightshadow Cat and a Shadow Japalura. Uncle Liu's familiars were all on their way to becoming killers.
Gao Peng suddenly understood why his grandfather had sent Uncle Liu.
But if Uncle Liu's familiars had already reached this level, then what level was his grandfather's familiars …?
And to be able to grow to this level in just three years after the Cataclysm, it seemed that his grandfather had his own secrets.
Walking along Mingjing Lake, they heard rustling sounds from the forest along the way. The monsters hiding in the bushes hugged themselves tightly.
Walking in the forest, the Shadow Japalura's eyes kept darting around, quietly looking at the trees around it.
Suddenly, the Shadow Japalura opened its mouth, and its dark red tongue shot out, piercing through the trunk of a large tree. Its tongue pierced deep into the trunk, sucking out the sap.
Then, in the next moment, its tongue suddenly lashed out!
Closing its mouth, the Shadow Japalura's eyes revealed a very human look of disdain. It didn't seem to taste good.
Smacking its lips, the Shadow Japalura continued to carry Uncle Liu forward, but the way it walked was a little strange. Sometimes it was fast, sometimes it was slow. It shook its head nervously. Front, front, left, left, right, right …
The Shadow Japalura was more than two meters tall. From afar, it looked like a giant green beast. Its huge, wide tail kept swaying, sweeping through the bushes with a swishing sound.
Gao Peng was a little envious. Riding a giant lizard like this was much cooler than riding a spider.
After walking for about an hour, they encountered a Commander-tier monster along the way. At first, the monster was very arrogant as it rushed out of the forest. However, when it sensed the aura of no less than ten Commander-tier familiars, it turned around and ran away with its tail between its legs.
"It's here," said Director Chen, pointing at a sunken basin in front of them.
Gao Peng was a little surprised. It wasn't that far. They weren't deep into the Dark Ember Forest, and could even be considered to be in the periphery.
"Further in is the Dark Ember Lord's territory. The Dark Ember Lord's temper has never been very good. It wouldn't dare to provoke that guy," said Director Chen, shaking his head.
"Is the Dark Ember Lord's original name the Dark Ember Lord?"
"No, that's not its original name. It's just that it currently occupies the entire Dark Ember Forest, which is why it's called the Dark Ember Lord. Those who can occupy such a large territory are usually the top of the Lord-tier monsters. After all, not all Lord-tier monsters have territory, just like not all wife biscuits have wives," said Director Chen jokingly.
"Take the Desert Ruler for example. If it can occupy the Dali Desert for a long enough time, perhaps we can call it the Lord of Dali … Everyone, be careful." Director Chen's voice softened as he gestured for everyone to slow down.
"Monsters that are close to breaking through are most vigilant. At this time, we don't need to get too close, or else we'll anger it. We just need to stay here. Actually, in the end, we might not even need to do anything. These Shatuoman Man-eating Earthworms will naturally protect their leader," said Director Chen in a low voice.
