"Uh, captain …" The young man with the scar was about to speak.
The captain raised his index finger and placed it on his lips.
"Shh."
Silence.
He saw the young man rummaging through the broken tree trunks and putting something into his pocket.
The captain narrowed his eyes and stared at Gao Peng.
"Deng Sen, let your familiar control that person. Leave the big monster to me," the captain ordered.
Deng Sen was a tall, dark, and skinny young man. He nodded after hearing his boss's order, then moved to the side quietly with his familiar.
Deng Sen and Yao Huan used to fight in the underworld, also known as underground boxers. The captain was their manager.
After the Cataclysm, the underground fighters were almost useless.
Humans went through the initial panic.
After the situation gradually stabilized,
People found that watching monsters fight was much more exciting than watching a fight.
So the two of them lost their jobs.
Later, they spent the last of their savings with their manager to buy a familiar and joined the "gold rush" army. After the initial chaos, their lives were more or less stable.
Basically, they came to the Dark Ember Forest once a week to earn money and train their familiars. The extra money was used to enjoy themselves. Their lives were pretty good.
They never dared to go deep into the Dark Ember Forest. It was too dangerous and full of unknown terrors.
They also wandered around the outskirts of the forest, picking some plants and catching some low-level monsters.
Occasionally, they would pick up a few corpses and live like this.
They were already satisfied with this kind of life. As for fighting for the world's number one, it was too far away for them.
There was something wrong with this young man.
He would never believe that a monster trainer would make such a big commotion in the forest just to measure the thickness of the trees.
The captain thought, If he could know what valuable things were in the trees, what was the most abundant in the forest? Trees!
Wouldn't he be rich then?
Thinking of this, the captain felt a fire in his heart.
Maybe they wouldn't have to travel every day in the future.
Dumb suddenly stopped and looked to the east vigilantly. He stomped his foot and let out a silent roar. His fists collided and made a rapid sound.
Gao Peng was alarmed and looked in the direction Dumb was looking.
Because they hadn't signed a Blood Contract, he couldn't communicate with Dumb through Soul Perception. Even so, Dumb's abnormality was enough to tell him that something was wrong.
He had been discovered.
The captain's expression turned ugly. He had originally planned to launch a sneak attack, but he did not expect Dumb's perception to be so sharp.
In reality, Dumb had sensed their presence through the Blood-Thread Heart. Because the Blood-Thread Heart could resonate with the heart, when they got close, the restless heartbeat was like a firefly in the dark, especially eye-catching.
Gao Peng communicated with Da Zi through the soul contract. He told Da Zi not to move and to hide under the thick withered leaves as much as possible to wait for his orders.
Silly flew out and landed on Gao Peng's head as if it was wearing a rainbow-colored hat.
Deng Sen, who was hiding at the side, narrowed his eyes.
Could this be a new type of support-type beast?
It was like some kind of strange combination.
He recalled a movie he had watched before. In the movie, there was a character who liked to wear a helmet. After wearing the helmet, he would become extraordinarily fierce.
"Hello, friend." Laughter could be heard. The captain walked out of the forest with a smile. Behind him was a young man with a scar and two familiars.
On the left was a familiar that looked like a bee. It was close to two meters long and had sharp antennae on its head. Its wings were vibrating at a high frequency, shining with a silver light. The most conspicuous part was its stinger, which took up nearly one-third of its length. On the right was a giant black butterfly. Including its wings, it was a full four meters long. On the left and right sides of its wings were symmetrical skeletons. The most conspicuous part was its antennae, which looked like two large black lanterns.
Compared to mammals and reptiles, insects were the most numerous. In the group of familiars, insect-type familiars made up a large proportion.
Gao Peng stood up and recognized the two familiars. They were the Spiked Bee and the Skeletal Butterfly.
The Skeletal Butterfly was a Darkness-type monster, and was one of the most common low-level Darkness-type monsters.
Of course, there was no such thing as low-level or high-level monsters. As long as the talent was strong enough, any monster had endless possibilities.
These people had appeared here probably because they had discovered something.
After all, his actions just now did seem a little strange.
"It's fate that we met. Is there anything I can help you with?" The captain raised his hands as he spoke, indicating that he had no ill intentions. He then continued to move closer.
"Bang!"
The sudden sound gave everyone a fright.
Dumb punched the tree trunk. The soul flames in its eyes burned fiercely. It roared angrily in another direction.
With only its skeleton left in its chest, it couldn't make a loud sound.
The low roar was like a war horn, containing great authority.
Gao Peng's body tensed up. There were more people!
Gao Peng didn't think that it was a good thing that there were still others hiding in the forest. If they were kind, why would they hide in the forest and spy on him?
Anyone who found out that they were being spied on would feel disgusted.
"I don't think I need any help," Gao Peng said indifferently.
Although these people were in the dark and he was in the light, he had his own trump card.
It was the secret beast taming technique that he had signed with Da Zi, the Shifting Star Passage.
He didn't know if these people had the same ability, but he thought that they probably didn't.
Otherwise, Uncle Liu wouldn't have been so cautious if just a few people had the same secret technique.
Moreover, he had been asking around for a long time.
Many people had never heard of this secret technique.
As long as he could make good use of this ability, he might be able to turn the situation around.
"That's my brother. Don't worry, we have no ill intentions."
The captain's face was full of smiles, but in his heart, he was cursing Dumb. What the hell was this thing? How could its senses be so sensitive?
Deng Sen came out of the forest, looking helpless. Beside him was a silver-gray cockroach.
The cockroach's mouth was very large, and its body was very smooth. Its silver-gray color was very comfortable to look at.
He had never seen this kind of cockroach before. Gao Peng's eyes narrowed.
[Monster Name]: Mithril Cockroach
[Monster Level]: Level 18 (Elite)
[Monster Grade]: Excellent
[Monster Attribute]: Metal
[Monster Weakness]: Electric
The Mithril Cockroach. Gao Peng had never seen this kind of monster in related books. It should be a rare mutated species.
This was normal. Many monsters were still unknown, and humans were still in the process of exploring.
