The Shatuoman Man-eating Earthworm had successfully advanced to the Lord tier, so the mission this time was considered complete.
Although there was a small hiccup in the middle, with a pseudo-Lord-tier monster running out, the final result was as expected.
Perhaps … it was within his expectations. Chen Xuehe thought.
The Blood Eye Bearded Vulture dragged the immobile female spider into the sky and left the forest.
In the center of the forest, a nine-meter-tall black gorilla climbed to the top of a hundred-meter-tall tree. It plucked a green fruit and swallowed it. After eating the fruit, the black gorilla's fur stood up slightly, and wisps of green smoke rose from the ends of its fur.
It could sense several strong auras rising from the edge of the forest and then disappearing, but none of them dared to enter the forest to challenge its position as the overlord. It snorted proudly.
The Lord of Dark Ember lay on a branch, closed its eyes and pretended to be asleep. Its big legs swayed slightly, and it seemed to be very happy.
After a while, a steady snoring sound slowly came from the branches.
.....
After leaving the forest, Gao Peng and Uncle Liu parted ways with Chen Xuehe and the others. The materials that Chen Xuehe had promised to give to Gao Peng were rejected by Gao Peng.
Two days ago, when Grandpa came, he told Gao Peng to tell him directly if he needed any materials. Gao Peng had no intention of being polite to his own grandfather. When the time came, he would also help Grandpa and Uncle Liu raise the grades of their familiars.
It was just that it was not convenient to send the materials over at the moment. Gao Peng planned to prepare these things when he reached Yuzhou. He also told Grandpa in advance about the materials he needed.
As for helping Director Chen, Gao Peng had the intention of returning the favor. Whether he was willing or not, Director Chen really did want to help him. That was enough.
This time, it could be considered as returning Director Chen's favor.
After leaving the forest and bidding farewell to Director Chen and the others, Gao Peng and Uncle Liu continued walking in the direction of home.
"Uncle Liu, you never told me that you had a Lord-tier familiar," Gao Peng said to Uncle Liu unhappily.
Uncle Liu glanced at Gao Peng and chuckled. "You didn't ask."
Gao Peng was speechless.
Who would ask about this for no reason?
"Sir, is this Lord-tier familiar your first familiar?" Gao Peng asked curiously.
"No, my first beast was the Shadow Japalura." Uncle Liu shook his head.
"Actually, this Blood Eye Bearded Vulture appeared on the island some time after the cataclysm. When I picked it up, it was covered in blood and had lost a lot of feathers. After I picked it up, I fed it every day. After some time, it took the initiative to sign a blood contract with me."
After a pause, Uncle Liu continued, "Actually, its talent isn't very good. Old Ji tested it for me before …" Uncle Liu's voice trailed off.
The surroundings were very spacious. Other than a few familiars, there was no one else.
After a pause, Uncle Liu didn't seem to have received Gao Peng's excited response. He coughed awkwardly. "When we go back, I can ask Old Ji to test your familiar's talent."
Gao Peng was shocked. Did Grandpa have this data frame too?
He hesitated for a moment. "How did Grandpa … test it?"
"He needs to prepare some materials. Familiars and monsters can be tested. Don't worry, it won't cause any harm to your familiar," Uncle Liu comforted him.
Gao Peng nodded.
"But it doesn't matter if its talent isn't very good!" Uncle Liu patted Gao Peng's shoulder with his right hand. "The Blood Eye Bearded Vulture's talent isn't very good, but it still reached the Lord-tier."
"How did it do it?"
"Training."
"Training?"
"All kinds of weight training. It trained every muscle in its body and broke through its limits again and again." Uncle Liu sighed. "But it seems that this training has already reached its limit. Its strength hasn't increased in a long time."
Gao Peng suddenly thought of the Black Raging Kong. The two had the same effect.
If it was before the Cataclysm, these animals wouldn't have produced such a terrifying chemical reaction by simply training their muscles. But after the Cataclysm, the rules of the world had changed.
Gao Peng suddenly remembered that the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture's evolution path had a kind of power evolution.
If it chose this path, would it eventually evolve into the Demon Muscle Bird? Gao Peng suddenly thought.
In this battle, Da Zi, Flamy, and Abba were just bystanders.
But a battle of this level was indeed beyond their capabilities.
.....
On the road, a monster hunting team was driving back to the city. The trunk of the large truck was filled with Familiars and a few monster corpses. These were their gains from the past two days.
Braving the danger of encountering a Commander-tier monster, they explored the edge of the forest.
They secretly killed a few Normal-tier monsters. Occasionally, they were lucky enough to kill some Excellent-grade monsters. Or, they harvested some common herbs to sell. During this process, they had to be careful not to let their Familiars suffer too much damage. Otherwise, just the treatment costs alone would be a large sum of money.
Once they encountered a Commander-tier monster, it would depend on whether or not the monster was full.
The gains from selling the monsters were divided equally among the monster hunting team.
After deducting the family expenses, the remaining money had to be used to nurture the Familiars. Otherwise, if they couldn't keep up with the monster's evolution speed, they wouldn't be hunting monsters anymore. Instead, they would be eating monsters.
"But today's gains are really good. A litter of freshly born Yellow-Patterned Grey Wolf pups. If we bring them back and sell them, we'll have enough for my boy's school fees next semester," a skinny man in the car shouted loudly.
"Hey, Old Huang, your boy is almost 18 years old, right? Have you thought about what kind of Familiar to get for him?"
The man in the back seat, who had been silent the whole time, couldn't help but reveal a warm expression when his son was mentioned. "I've already talked to Boss Liu. He'll leave me a Shatuoman Man-eating Earthworm pup."
"A Shatuoman Man-eating Earthworm? Earthworms aren't bad. When the time comes, we can hide in the soil. It'll be convenient for us to catch monsters or something, "the person sitting to his right replied.
Suddenly, he realized that there was no sound in the car. "Why aren't you guys talking?"
"Look over there … What's that?"
Old Huang pointed at the lawn in front of a small villa on the outskirts of the city.
"Isn't it just a villa? Don't tell me you haven't even seen the villa —"
The voice of the person next to Old Huang suddenly froze. Then, he stared blankly at the two giant monsters in front of the lawn.
One of the giant spiders had a diameter of 20 to 30 meters when fully spread out. At that moment, it was lying weakly on the lawn. A broken halo was slowly rotating under its body …
A giant bird stood valiantly on its back. Although the giant bird didn't reveal a halo under its feet, it firmly suppressed the spider.
But just the spider alone was enough to shock them.
"That … That's a Lord-tier monster?!"
