This was the first time Gao Peng had ever lost a familiar by his side.
It might be an exaggeration to say that it was as painful as losing a loved one, but everything that had happened in the past six months was still fresh in Gao Peng's mind.
Suddenly, Gao Peng seemed to have thought of something. He looked up at his grandfather. "Grandpa, can you send the White Dragon to kill a few Mountain Spirits?"
"Kill Mountain Spirits?" Ji Hanwu frowned. There were many Mountain Spirits here.
It wasn't that the Mountain Spirits were difficult to deal with. The White Dragon had been able to kill Mountain Spirits before it reached the Emperor tier. Now that the White Dragon had reached the Emperor tier, killing Mountain Spirits would be a piece of cake.
It was just that there were too many Mountain Spirits here. He and the White Dragon would be fine, but Gao Peng would be in danger.
"Let's go," Gao Peng said to Huang Ya, knowing that they would be a burden if they stayed.
Before they left, Gao Peng said to his grandfather, "Grandpa, if you kill a Mountain Spirit, please take out the Heart of the Mountain Spirit and throw it to the Mountain Spirit King. Please." Gao Peng sighed. Life and death were fated. Abba, this was the best I could do.
Before they left, Gao Peng took the bodies of the Wooden Peacock and the Winged Thunder Ape that were lying on the ground on the back of the female spider.
He didn't take the bodies of the other Commander-tier familiars with him. Carrying too many would affect their efficiency.
.....
The White Dragon straightened its neck and looked at the Mountain Spirits before exhaling.
A cloud of dense white mist drifted in the air and continued to spread outwards.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a thick fog. Visibility was limited. When Gao Peng opened his right hand, he couldn't even see his five fingers in the fog.
A slender and huge shadow shuttled through the fog, causing the sound of wind and thunder.
Suddenly, there was the sound of something collapsing and the Mountain Spirits moving.
The fog lasted for a full half an hour before it dissipated.
Some of the Mountain Spirits retreated in a sorry state, and the rocks on the mountain peaks were all scattered away.
In the center of the earth, pieces of crushed stones were piled up into a small mountain, forming a plain of crushed stones.
The White Dragon's eyes, which were larger than water tanks, scanned the ground, then accurately picked out pieces of ostrich egg-sized golden crystals from the rubble on the ground.
There were eight in total, all of which were thrown onto the Mountain Spirit King's body by the White Dragon.
Strangely enough, after the Mountain Spirit Hearts were thrown onto the mountain, a crack suddenly appeared on the mountain where they landed. All eight Mountain Spirit Hearts fell into the mountain, and the mountain trembled a little before falling silent.
After walking back for a while, Gao Peng was really worried about Abba. He sighed and said to Huang Ya, "You guys go back to Southern Sky first. I'll go back and take a look … Dumb, come with me."
In the end, he was still a little worried …
When he returned, his grandfather had already left, leaving behind a pitch-black mountain.
The mountain was at least a thousand meters tall. Gao Peng looked up and saw that most of the caves were closed. Even the ones at the foot of the mountain were nowhere to be seen. It looked like an ordinary mountain. If Gao Peng hadn't seen the mountain's angry state an hour ago, he would've thought that it was a normal mountain.
As he got closer, Gao Peng had a strange feeling. It was as if there was a new force growing in the mountain's belly. Although it was still weak, it was filled with a strong desire to live.
Was it Abba?
Gao Peng wasn't sure.
He was only sure that Abba wasn't dead yet.
However, he wasn't sure if she was trapped somewhere in the Mountain Spirit King's body or if something else had happened.
With a sigh, Gao Peng turned around and left.
Gao Peng paused for a moment, his eyes clouded over.
If you die … I'll have all the Mountain Spirits outside of Yuzhou … accompany you in death.
When he returned to Yuzhou, Gao Peng was a little unhappy. It was his fault that Abba was in trouble. What was he doing? Maybe he was a little arrogant after being a judge?
Gao Peng suddenly became alert.
Didn't he always follow the principle of being cautious? His recent actions didn't match his usual low-key style.
"Gao Peng, Gao Peng, where's the big crab?" Da Zi didn't see the annoying crab when he returned to the mansion. He was a little unaccustomed to it and flew over curiously.
Gao Peng glanced at Da Zi. After a moment of silence, he squeezed out a smile and patted Da Zi's head without saying anything.
Da Zi's two antennae kept swaying. It was very comfortable to be patted.
Seeing that Gao Peng wasn't in a good mood, Da Zi didn't continue asking.
The next day, Da Zi still didn't see the annoying crab. He lay on the tree and looked into the distance, bored. After resting for a while, he continued to train.
On the third day, the crab still didn't come back. Da Zi swung on the tree, bored.
"Gao Peng, Gao Peng, will the crab come back?"
"It will."
"When will it come back?"
"After a while."
"Oh … But Gao Peng, I miss it."
“.....”
"Gao Peng, I won't fight with Abba for food anymore. Can you let it come back?"
“.....”
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Gao Peng's behavior gradually returned to normal, but what was different was that Gao Peng gradually became more withdrawn. He didn't participate in any gatherings. The only free task he had was to train his familiars and concoct medicine every day.
The familiars under him were very hardworking in their training these few days. Perhaps it was because of the stimulation from the last time, Xiao Huang was now crazily squeezing out all his time.
Other than eating and sleeping, there was only training. Crazy training, constantly squeezing out his own time!
His rest time went from eight hours a day to six hours a day.
Although Abba usually kept a low profile and was a little lazy, in fact, it had a good relationship with the other familiars. To be precise, the familiars under Gao Peng were on good terms with each other.
After experiencing the stimulation of this incident, the familiars were all training non-stop, and they didn't complain about being tired.
At first, Gao Peng thought that these little guys were just cramming at the last minute, but this time, their performance really exceeded Gao Peng's expectations. It had been half a month, but these guys were still working hard.
.....
Outside Yuzhou City, a monster hunting team was hunting through the dense forest.
One of the team suddenly said softly, "Captain, there's a commander tier monster coming in our direction from the northeast."
"Let's avoid it first. Our mission this time is to capture the Golden Ash Wolf alive. Don't cause trouble." The one who was called the captain was a woman in her thirties. There weren't many female captains in monster hunting teams. Compared to men, although women were more emotional and tended to make decisions based on their emotions, they were also more meticulous and observant than men.
