However, the difference in level made Gao Peng even more fearful.
Da Zi was at the Mythical grade. Although the Xuanhai Silver-Winged Three-Eyed Python had reached the Epic grade, it was still only at the Excellent grade.
Between Elite and Mythical, there were three grades: Perfect, Epic, and Legendary. The Mythical grade was four grades higher than the Elite grade.
Even so, the Xuanhai Silver-Winged Three-Eyed Python was only killed with the help of Dumb and Abba.
Although Da Zi's lack of combat experience played a part in this, the gap in strength brought about by each level in the later stages of the game forced Gao Peng to pay attention to levels.
It was extremely difficult to collect all the materials required for each grade increase. However, if the time spent collecting these materials was used to increase the level of the familiar, the speed at which the familiar's strength increased would be faster than the former.
Gao Peng had always felt a sense of urgency in his heart. The return of the ancient tribes could be seen from the Sang Tong tribe's killing of the Cherry Sky Tree. These ancient tribes did not treat them as their compatriots on Earth Star.
He could imagine how the Europeans dealt with the Native Americans when they discovered the New World.
Without the strength to protect himself, everything was in vain. Even his high grade familiars might be coveted by those people.
On one hand, Gao Peng wanted to raise his grade. Because of the suppression in the Earth Star world, as long as his familiars' grade was higher, they would have an advantage among their peers.
But at the same time, the level was also very important. If his level fell behind, it would have a huge impact on his strength. Moreover, raising the level was easier than raising the grade.
Also, there was something that he needed to verify. If he put a familiar that exceeded the level limit of Earth Star into the familiar space, would he be able to "smuggle" the familiar over?
This kind of loophole was especially exciting.
Moreover, he only needed to bring them over. It was fine even if he had to hide them in the familiar space and not let them out.
Gao Peng sighed. After being away for half a year … he was really homesick.
But he knew that he couldn't go back yet.
As the saying goes, not returning to one's hometown when one is rich is like wearing brocade clothes while traveling at night. But now, he had no wealth, so how could he return home?
In Gao Peng's opinion, one would need at least one Overlord-tier familiar and a large group of Emperor-tier familiars to be considered rich.
The Sang Tong Tribe had an Overlord-tier familiar, and they were only considered a second-rate tribe. If he didn't even have an Overlord-tier familiar, wouldn't he be worse than a second-rate tribe?
Thinking of this, Gao Peng's desire to go home faded a little.
Gao Peng took out the altar from Abba's back and said to Little Black Man, "Go and dissect this Overlord-tier monster. It's best if you can get something good out of it."
Although Gao Peng had tried his best to control his emotions, one could still vaguely tell that he was proud of himself.
The little black man carried the Xuanhai Silver-Winged Three-Eyed Python to the altar and curled up like a little silver snake.
Little Black Man didn't show any particular emotion as it disintegrated an Overlord-tier familiar. It was as if it was doing something ordinary.
"Okay, I'll do my best to dissect it for you." Little Black Man nodded and rubbed its palms together. "Speaking of which, I haven't dissected an Overlord-tier familiar in a long time. I wonder if my skills are rusty."
Gao Peng's expression changed slightly. "I remember that you don't have a name yet."
"I have a name. I'm called the Great Altar Cutter. I've told you before." Little Black Man suddenly became vigilant.
"Oh …" Gao Peng nodded with a look of realization. "But that's the name of the altar. Although you're one with the altar, you're still its artifact spirit. It's not good for me to call you the Great Altar Cutter. It feels like I'm calling the altar."
Little Black Man was confused. "I'm one with the altar. You can just call me …" "I'll call you Dark Child!"
Dark Child was speechless. "No, why are you …" "That's a good name!" Goldie slammed its paw on the altar. "I thought Gao Peng was going to name you Blackie. I didn't expect him to give you such a nice name!" Goldie slammed its paw on the altar a few more times, causing it to clatter loudly.
Dark Child was speechless.
"Forget it. As long as you're happy." Dark Child couldn't be bothered to refuse. After all, it was just a name. It had had many names in the past. Dark Child wouldn't make a difference.
These names would eventually disappear in the long river of time. After a million years, ten million years, a hundred million years, or even longer, when the sea turned into mulberry fields, when the mountains turned into valleys, even memories would become blurry over such a long period of time.
Who would remember a name, a title, a code name?
Gao Peng poked Dark Child's forehead with a finger. Dark Child's head tilted back and it fell on the altar. "What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and get to work," Gao Peng reprimanded.
What long river of time? What long time? They were all like bubbles that were popped by Gao Peng's finger.
Dark Child glared at Gao Peng. However, it was still immersed in reminiscing about the past. Now that its thoughts were inexplicable, it couldn't be bothered to argue with Gao Peng.
After Dark Child got to work, Gao Peng began to clean up Abba's injuries. Gao Peng didn't have time to clean up after the intense battle.
The other familiars that were kept in the Familiar Space were unharmed. The only ones that were injured were Abba and Dumb.
Among them, Abba's injuries were the most serious. Two layers of its original height of more than eight hundred meters had been shaved off, leaving only six hundred meters. At the same time, the surface of its body was filled with holes of various sizes. There were even a few cracks that almost cut its body in half.
Abba should be proud that it was able to participate in such an intense battle as a King-tier monster.
Abba's size also gave it a huge advantage. Although there were many inconveniences due to its large size, overall, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. However, it would be best if it could flexibly change its size during the battle.
Although Xiao Cao had healing abilities, its level was still low. Moreover, Abba's injuries didn't require its healing.
Abba moved a short distance away from the seaside. Then, it sat on the ground, retracted its claws, closed its eyes, and fell asleep on the shore.
As Abba slept, the wounds on its body gradually healed.
Gao Peng felt the ground under his feet trembling. The earth cracked open, and a steady stream of soil and stones flowed out from the depths of the earth into Abba's body.
These soil and stones quickly merged with Abba and condensed into a hard rock armor on its body.
On the other side, other than the Amorphic Hell Tree, the other King-tier monsters that were revived by Dumb knelt in front of Dumb. With a crack, their bones cracked open. Large amounts of Soul Flames gushed out from the cracks in their bones and skulls. The Soul Flames gathered together and entered Dumb's body.
As the Soul Flames were devoured, the cracks in Dumb's bones gradually healed.
When it came to healing injuries, it could be said that each of them had their own unique abilities.
On the other side, Da Zi and Gao Peng, who had been separated for a long time, hugged each other and chatted amiably. Gao Peng asked in detail how Da Zi disappeared that day and where he had been for the past six months.
Da Zi didn't hide anything. He told Gao Peng everything, big or small.
After listening, Gao Peng realized that Da Zi had experienced two different worlds. Moreover, from Da Zi's indignant tone, Da Zi should have been chased out. However, this dumb guy didn't know and thought that some monster had ambushed him from behind.
