Xiao Huang patted his butt and trotted over. He even plucked two oranges from Nan Ju's head and warmed them in his palms.
Dumb jumped down from the Black Flame Stone Python's head. The blooming Bone Lotus dissipated into the air. He took Floret from Xiao Huang's back and took the oranges. He carefully peeled the oranges for his daughter.
Xiao Huang hesitantly followed behind Dumb. After thinking for a long time, he whispered, "Brother Dumb, your move just now was so cool. I … I want to learn it."
Dumb smiled nonchalantly. "Sure, you can come to me whenever you want to learn."
"Baldy, give up. You won't be able to learn it," Flamy mocked from the side.
They had known Dumb for a long time, so they didn't feel restrained when talking to Dumb.
Xiao Huang shook his head with a determined expression. "If I don't put in effort, I'll definitely reap the rewards. Even if I can't learn 100% of Brother Dumb's skills, learning 70% or 80% would be enough for me, Xiao Huang, to survive in the Black Fog World."
Flamy rolled its eyes when it heard this. It only knew how to talk about society all day long, just like a gangster duck. It didn't know which idiot would fall in love with this kind of dumb baldy.
Gao Peng returned to the Desolate Labyrinth and told the insider that the Emperor-tier monster had been killed. He told him to tell Grandpa so that Southern Sky Group would have a bigger advantage in the development market.
Leaving the Labyrinth, Gao Peng brought almost all of his familiars with him this time.
Even Abba, who used to have trouble moving due to its large size, was by his side.
This was Abba's first time in the Black Fog World. Abba wasn't used to the scenery here. But it was still very happy. "This is the Black Fog World that Master often comes to."
"Master, where should we go? Are we going north or south? "Desolion asked.
Gao Peng pondered. To the north was the Black Phoenix Mountain Range. There was an Overlord-tier monster in the Black Phoenix Mountain Range. If they couldn't defeat the Overlord-tier monster, it wouldn't be of much use for them to go to the Black Phoenix Mountain Range.
After all, Dumb had advanced to the Emperor tier. It was different from when he was still a King tier. There was only one level difference between an Emperor tier and an Overlord tier. It was just like how a tiger would allow prey like a rabbit or a pheasant to exist in its territory, but it would never allow wild beasts like a bear or a wolf to exist.
To the west was Lusaka Base City, and further west was said to be filled with black fog. Gao Peng did not have the grand idea of challenging the mysteries of the world for the time being.
To the east was the ocean, and there were many islands. Gao Peng lacked subdued beasts that could fight in water, so he eliminated the possibility.
After much consideration, Gao Peng decided to develop in the south.
Moreover, he had heard that there were many labyrinths in the south. Most of the powerful monsters in the southern region were in those labyrinths.
After putting the corpse of the Black Flame Stone Python into Silly's space, Gao Peng sat on Abba's back and began the long journey.
This was a journey that would last for an unknown period of time. Gao Peng was well prepared. He had packed a large amount of seasoning and daily necessities in Silly's space. As for food, he did not bring them. For example, this Black Flame Stone Python was enough for Gao Peng and the others to eat for a long time.
Frosty Lion could condense ice in the air, and then let Flamy melt the ice into water. This was pure natural distilled water.
After walking more than ten kilometers to the south, the plains along the way were extremely barren.
Occasionally, traces of monster activity could be seen on the barren plains.
Malnourished yellow-green weeds stubbornly took root in the soil. Xiao Huang was bored and tried to pull out a few weeds as he walked on the road.
Plants like sword grass that were one meter above the ground had roots that were seven to eight meters long. The roots were as thick as a thumb and were densely packed with small holes, indicating that they had a great thirst for water.
After walking for more than thirty kilometers to the south, Gao Peng finally encountered a monster.
It was a group of red humanoid monsters that looked a bit like Gnolls. Their backs were bent like a bow, and their red hair was draped over their shoulders. Their dark green eyes scanned the surroundings.
One of the Gnolls seemed to be hungry. It squatted down and looked for something on the ground. Then, it pulled out the grass on the ground, kneaded the grass and roots into a ball and put it into its mouth. There was still mud on it, and it did not seem to taste very good. The Gnolls' facial features were wrinkled and squeezed together.
Just as Gao Peng noticed them, they also noticed Gao Peng's group on the empty plains.
Without hesitation, they scattered and fled in all directions without saying a word.
A total of more than thirty Gnolls fled in dozens of small groups. Gao Peng stopped Xiao Huang, who was chasing after them. They were just a group of Elite-level cannon fodder. There was no need to pay attention to them.
Along the way, Gao Peng also encountered grassland Gray Cloud Wolves, Withered Golden Eagles, Bloodthirsty Minotaurs, and other monsters. Most of these monsters lived in groups. Gao Peng found that there were very few monsters that were alone. Most of them lived in groups.
Also, many of the low-level monsters would … eat grass.
Gao Peng had seen wolves eat grass with his own eyes. He had also seen monsters that looked like lions eat grass. He had even seen an eagle-like monster with a lion's head fly down from the sky and grab a piece of grass and put it into its mouth.
In order to survive, they had no choice but to evolve into omnivores.
Perhaps it was because they ate grass, but Gao Peng was pleasantly surprised to find that their meat was quite delicious.
"Gao Peng, we've already walked more than two thousand kilometers." Desolion licked its paw.
"Don't worry, we should find something. The Black Lightning Eagle skeleton has been scouting ahead for a few days. When it comes back, we'll know where the maze is nearby." Gao Peng comforted.
At night, the Black Fog World's sky was blue. The blue-black sky was gloomy, and two bright moons hung high in the sky. There were two moons hanging in the sky of the Black Fog World.
The warm yellow moon looked like two eyes hanging in the sky.
A black shadow flew from the sky and approached steadily. Finally, it landed steadily in front of Gao Peng. It tilted its head and reported to Dumb.
After a moment, Dumb turned to Gao Peng and said, "Master, there are three mazes in front. Two of them are made of stone, and the other one is red. The walls are glowing."
"Special mazes?" Gao Peng was interested.
"I don't recommend that we go to the special mazes now. The monsters in the special mazes are very strong." Frosty Lion interrupted.
"Tell me the truth, why did you suggest that we go to the maze in the south?" Gao Peng looked at Frosty Lion meaningfully. When Frosty Lion introduced the Black Fog World that day, although it didn't say anything explicitly, its tone was hinting for Gao Peng and the others to go south.
Frosty Lion smiled awkwardly. "Was there a hint?"
"You know it yourself. Also, I'm curious why so many monsters like to fight for these mazes. Have you lost your mind?"
"I haven't lost my mind. I wouldn't do something that doesn't benefit me. The main reason is that our growth speed is faster in the maze. For example, I need a hundred years to reach adulthood, but I only need fifty years to reach adulthood in the maze.
