His house was on the sixth floor. Dumb and the others couldn't climb the stairs because of their size.
Dumb and Flamy stood downstairs while Gao Peng led the rest of the familiars upstairs.
Outside the staircase, a few small heads poked out and stared at Dumb cautiously.
Dumb naturally noticed the kids hiding in the distance.
He just glanced at them and didn't pay them any attention.
The kids squatted behind the bushes and secretly observed Dumb.
"Big skeleton."
"It's a big monster," the kid next to him corrected.
"It's so ugly."
"It's too ugly. There's no meat at all."
"Why would a skeleton need meat!"
The group of brats began to discuss spiritedly.
"Let me tell you, I bullied this skeleton before," the tallest and most muscular boy raised his head and said loudly.
"How is that possible? This monster looks super fierce. How dare you …" The kid next to him was shocked.
"Why wouldn't I dare!" The kid who spoke stood up.
He picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at Dumb.
The stone spun a few times in the air and finally landed at Dumb's feet.
Dumb slowly lowered his head and looked at the stone that landed at his feet. He raised his right foot and stomped down hard. It shattered!
The stone was crushed into powder.
Dumb turned his head and looked at the kid who threw the stone. His white soul flame burned.
The kid's body trembled, and his eyes turned red. Then … he cried out loud.
The devilish brats ran far away, and no one knew where they went.
About ten minutes later, the group of naughty kids ran back.
The kid at the front was the tallest and was the king of the kids.
The king of the kids held a rein in his hand. On the other end of the rein was a large dog that was four meters tall and more than seven meters long.
This large dog didn't have any fur on its body, revealing its bare muscles.
Yellow fat could be seen in the gaps between its blood-red muscles. Its eyes were bloodshot.
The kid glared at Dumb with hatred. A trace of hostility flashed in his eyes.
"Bite it!"
Releasing the rein, the large dog shot out like a sharp sword.
Woof woof woof!!!
The elders who were chatting at the side heard the intermittent barking in the distance.
"Oh, Old Li, isn't that Wang Cai's voice?" one of the elders suddenly asked.
"I think so …" The old lady quickly got up and shouted, "Wang Cai …"
Suddenly, the voice became softer.
The barking in the distance stopped abruptly.
A moment later, a large, bare, muscular hound and wolf escaped from the corner, letting out a frightened whine.
Its tail was between its legs.
It jumped and jumped.
"Wahhh —" A child ran out from behind the large dog, crying.
After cleaning for three hours, Gao Peng finally cleaned up all the dust in the house before going downstairs. As soon as he went downstairs, he saw a group of old people surrounding Dumby aggressively.
Seeing Gao Peng come down, an old lady couldn't wait to say, "Gao Peng, we've watched you grow up."
"That's right, that's right. Even if you are my parents, you have to call me Auntie Li when you see me."
Gao Peng frowned. He didn't know what was going on. He looked at Dumb in confusion.
Dumb told Gao Peng what had happened through the Blood Contract. Gao Peng nodded to himself. He even praised Dumby for a while.
"My grandson has nothing to do with you …"
An old man at the side added, "Familiar."
"Oh, yes, Familiar. I was just joking with your Familiar. Look at how scared my grandson is." The old lady's face scrunched up in pain. She patted her grandson's head, afraid that he would become stupid.
"My grandson is very smart. He's been obedient since he was young. I'm not trying to nag you, but you should just hide your skeleton at home in broad daylight. Don't bring it out to scare people."
"Thank you for your kindness. I have something else to do, so I won't disturb you," Gao Peng replied indifferently.
Then, he left with his Familiar.
Looking at Gao Peng's back as he left, the old ladies and grandpas didn't dare to stop him. They just watched in silence as Gao Peng left.
After leaving the old house, Gao Peng went to a travel agency to ask if there were any tours to the Dali Desert.
However, all the travel agencies and adventurer groups shook their heads. "That's not good.
I heard that it's very dangerous there. Many people have died there. No one dares to go there recently. Also, I heard that the military is very strict at the border. Everyone who wants to go to the Dali Desert has to register. If you want to go somewhere else, I can lead the way. "In the end, one of the travel agencies couldn't help but tell Gao Peng.
Many people have died?
Gao Peng frowned. It seemed that things weren't as simple as the Chang 'an military said.
Gao Peng gave up on the idea of going to the Dali Desert through the military. He had to see the truth with his own eyes. Gao Peng didn't want to expose himself to the people in the military.
Walking out of the travel agency, Gao Peng saw a few people dressed in ordinary clothes loitering around the area. They glanced at the travel agency from time to time. Whenever they saw someone coming out of the agency, they would quietly follow them. If they could reach an agreement, they would go further. If they couldn't, they would just leave and wait for the next customer.
These were all people with shady dealings. They were like hyenas in front of the travel agency. Because of their nature, these people had to be careful. After all, most of their dealings were shady.
Gao Peng waved at a man in a black jacket not far away.
The man pinched the end of his cigarette with his right hand and took a deep puff. Then, he threw the rest of the cigarette on the ground and stepped on it with his right foot to extinguish the spark. He quickly walked up to Gao Peng.
Gao Peng took out his wallet, pulled out a stack of silver Alliance notes, and threw it to the man.
"I want a group to go to the Dali Desert. It's best if they leave today. Here's the deposit."
The man quickly hid the stack of Alliance notes in his pocket. His movements were swift. With a light slide, the notes were hidden in his pocket.
Then, he looked around discreetly. When he saw that no one else was looking, he calmed down and nodded slightly. "Follow me."
After passing through a few alleys, they arrived at an old house. The man in the black jacket went straight into the house.
Gao Peng wasn't afraid of these people doing shady business. He followed the man in the black jacket inside.
A black shadow flew past Gao Peng, brushing past the hair on Gao Peng's forehead.
Gao Peng's expression didn't change. His footsteps didn't slow down at all.
On the other side of the aisle, a black snail was sitting on a shelf. It was coldly looking at Gao Peng.
The snail's neck was very long. Its black shell was full of spikes.
Gao Peng glanced at it indifferently.
The snail's two eyes widened. In the next moment, its exposed head and neck shrank back into the shell.
