Ji Hanwu smiled. "There are already scholars who believe that the myths and legends of the past are not baseless. Some experts have begun to study the ancient legends."
"Grandpa, do you think their thinking is correct?"
"I don't know." Ji Hanwu smiled. "But this time, the monster is indeed extraordinary …"
Gao Peng looked at his grandfather.
"This time, we named the monster Mountain Spirit. Originally, some scholars wanted to name it Mountain God, but some people rejected the idea. How can we give the title of God to a monster so casually?"
"Mountain Spirit," Gao Peng muttered to himself.
"Yes, a top monster trainer in Yuzhou took pictures of the monster's body from a high altitude. The monster's body is actually a mountain, a living mountain," Ji Hanwu sighed.
A living mountain?
Gao Peng's heart skipped a beat. The first image that came to his mind was a towering mountain thousands of meters high, stretching for dozens of miles, crashing down on Yuzhou City like an avalanche.
If such a majestic mountain really came crashing down, the entire Yuzhou City would suffer heavy losses.
"And there's more than one Mountain Spirit in the video," Ji Hanwu added.
More than one?! Gao Peng's breathing became weaker.
"Yes. Fortunately, the Mountain Spirits that have been discovered so far are not very large. The largest is only about 300 meters tall and occupies an area of a few miles. Rather than calling it a mountain, it's more like a big hill."
Gao Peng heaved a sigh of relief. These Mountain Spirits were much smaller than Gao Peng had imagined. Even so, a monster of this size would be difficult to deal with, even for a Lord-tier familiar.
"Maybe it's because they're too big, but these Mountain Spirits move very slowly. However, they're extremely lethal on the surface of their mountains. We suspect that the missing monster hunters accidentally entered the hills that the Mountain Spirits have disguised as and were killed."
"Don't worry. Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you. Those Mountain Spirits don't have much hatred towards us humans. They have developed simple spiritual intelligence, which means that they can negotiate. If it's really necessary, even if the military uses missiles and high explosives, those mountains will be blown to pieces. "Ji Hanwu smiled and comforted Gao Peng.
"Grandpa, do you have a picture of Shan Ling?"
"Photos? I don't have it on me. If you want to see it, I can go get one. "
"Alright." Gao Peng was a little disappointed. He thought that he would be able to see the Mountain Spirit's attributes today.
"Grandfather, what are these Mountain Spirits categorized into? Is it elemental? "
"No, it's the Logia. It's the transformation of all kinds of things in the natural world that shouldn't have life and consciousness. This is the Logia. Some monsters like the Vine Rock Monsters have been classified as Logia."
Gao Peng didn't feel relieved after learning the nature of the martial law in Yuzhou City. Instead, he felt even more worried.
The world was changing too fast. If he couldn't evolve faster than all the creatures on Earth Star, it meant that his life would be in danger at any time.
Thinking of this, Gao Peng felt a sense of urgency. His growth was still too slow.
Although Da Zi and the others ate the best spiritual food available at the current stage and enjoyed the best training environment, Gao Peng still felt that something was missing.
Just as Gao Peng was about to go upstairs to sleep, Grandpa said behind him, "By the way, about the materials you asked me to look out for, there's already a clue about the Ten Thousand Year Moon Gold. One of the companies I'm working with in Xiangxi just happened to have that material. They've already agreed to exchange it. They'll send it over in a few days."
"Okay." Gao Peng nodded, then went upstairs to his room and closed the door.
Grandpa had helped him get the Forbidden Magic Stone, and the Ten Thousand Year Moon Gold was an essential material for Dumb to reach the Epic grade. It would be in his hands soon.
Even though Grandpa was his own grandfather, and even though he knew that Grandpa didn't consider anything in return for helping him, Gao Peng still felt a little unhappy. He felt like a parasite.
That's why I'm still too pretentious.
Gao Peng shook his head. The changes in the current situation had completely awakened Gao Peng. In the past, he was all alone, so naturally, he didn't dare take out too many things. However, it was different now. With Grandpa as his backer, there was no need for him to think so much.
Besides, even if he didn't understand, Grandpa would definitely know better than him. He only needed to hand over his finished product to Grandpa, and leave the rest to the professionals.
Since he had thought of it, he did it immediately. There were quite a few materials piled up in the laboratory's cold storage room. He could make a portion of the medicine.
Gao Peng put on his jacket, opened the bedroom door, and went downstairs. As he passed by the corridor, he took an umbrella from the umbrella rack and opened the door. It was raining heavily outside.
Da Zi, who had been sleeping downstairs, sensed Gao Peng's things and eagerly followed him. It raised its head and looked at its master in confusion. It didn't know what its master was going out for so late at night.
Could it be … that its master was secretly going to eat good food behind its back?!
Da Zi was full of energy, and its sleepiness was immediately gone.
"It's raining heavily outside. You should go back and sleep." Gao Peng lowered his head and looked at Da Zi, then smiled gently.
Da Zi hurriedly shook its head. "I'll, I'll stay with you."
Hearing Da Zi's tender voice, Gao Peng's heart warmed. It's still Da Zi who cares about me. As expected of my first familiar.
Gao Peng squatted down and gently patted Da Zi's head. "Okay, then come with me."
Da Zi immediately waved its antennae excitedly and eagerly followed behind Gao Peng.
The rain fell on Da Zi's back, but it couldn't extinguish the fire in its heart.
.....
Looking at Gao Peng, who was busy in the lab, Da Zi curled up into a ball in the corner, feeling wronged.
You've changed, Gao Peng. You're not sneaking out to eat good food.
Gao Peng lowered his head and looked at the fifth reagent that he had created. He carefully stored it, then labeled it. He took out a pen and paper and carefully wrote down the formula's proportions and precautions.
There weren't many materials in the lab, so he could only create these five reagents. He would continue to give them to Grandpa when he had more materials. If he gave too much at once, Grandpa might not be able to take it …
Back in the villa, he placed the box of reagents in the living room. Gao Peng looked at the clock on the wall. It was already two in the morning. He yawned and went upstairs to sleep.
The next day, Gao Peng's phone vibrated while he was in class. He looked down at the message on his phone. It was a photo sent by Grandpa.
He clicked accept, and the progress bar slowly rose …
Then, the photo was instantly enlarged. At first, it was a little blurry, but then the image became clear.
The moment he saw it clearly, Gao Peng almost screamed out loud.
My, my, my — —
In the photo, there was a pitch-black hill in the middle of a group of mountains. There was sparse vegetation on the hill's surface, and there were many caves all over the hill's surface.
With just one look, Gao Peng recognized this strange hill.
