“Ah… Ahh…” The roar of the Sun Bear had lost its previous strength. Instead, it was becoming extremely weak. The Sun Bear struggled on the ground in fear, but the spear had penetrated its body, making it unable to move. Rivulets of blood flowed from its wound.
Its blood flowed into the cracks on the ground. The Sun Bear’s power was unmatched, but at this moment, it couldn’t even pull out the spear in its back.
Pi Kuang’s expression changed drastically. He took a few steps back and stood next to the Sun Bear, then reached out and touched the bear’s arm, grasping its thick fur. Its sweat dampened his palm.
The raging waves roared and crashed together, over and over again. The sky darkened, and the howling wind tore apart the earth and sky.
Two black dots, one bigger than the other, appeared and descended from the sky. They were like meteorites falling from the sky. Boom!
The Windstorm Water Magic Spider finally showed itself. At the moment it landed, Gao Peng silently disengaged himself from Fatty Big Sea.
“Huh?” The Windstorm Water Magic Spider’s sharp eyes caught Gao Peng’s separation from Fatty Big Sea’s body. All four of its eyes on the right side turned to lock on Gao Peng. The remaining four eyes observed their surroundings, with one of them staring at the Sun Bear.
“I signed a contract of equality with him, so we’re currently cooperating.” Initially, Fatty Big Sea hadn’t wanted to explain, but it admitted it in the end.
The Windstorm Water Magic Spider gazed deeply at Gao Peng and Fatty Big Sea, but it didn’t say anything.
Meanwhile, Pi Kuang was staring relentlessly at Gao Peng. Although he couldn’t confirm that this Quasi God monster was this person’s familiar, nevertheless, the arrival of a Quasi God-tier familiar was definitely related to this strange man somehow.
This Quasi God monster was the one that had nailed his familiar to the ground. Just thinking about it filled Pi Kuang with indignation and humiliation. He declared, “I’m an elder of the Tribal Alliance. After witnessing what happened, I am impressed by your strength. There are fewer than ten Quasi God monster trainers in the Tribal Alliance, but all of them like making new friends. I believe that once in a while, you might need certain resources that are difficult to obtain alone, thus I’d like to invite you to trade with them through our alliance.”
“That’s unnecessary. The Huaxia Tribe will take action for ourselves if we have to defend against the Mutated Tribe. We would never do it through this kind of cooperation.” Fatty Big Sea repeated, word for word, what Gao Peng told it through the Blood Contract.
“You’re from the Huaxia Tribe?” Pi Kuang was thunderstruck. The shock he felt from the bottom of his heart was unparalleled. This indescribable emotion was as intense as the feeling of when he obtained his first familiar.
The Huaxia Tribe has a Quasi God-tier monster trainer! Pi Kuang almost went crazy. The recovery of Earth Star had happened just a few years ago, definitely less than a decade ago.
Obtaining a Quasi God monster trainer within a decade? Pi Kuang suddenly felt like all of his years of hard work went down the drain.
He had never heard of a monster trainer who could own a Quasi God-tier familiar within a decade, especially if the trainer started with nothing. This wasn’t a legend at all, but a horror story. If Pi Kuang was frightened by him, then the top officials of Huaxia were delighted.
Pi Kuang had said that was a Quasi God?
The top officials might not have understood what it meant before this, but after Pi Kuang’s narration and witnessing how the Windstorm Water Magic Spider had incapacitated the Sun Bear, they could guess what it meant. Thus, they were now completely respectful to Gao Peng, as if he was a god.
Uncle Liu, who was standing with the crowd, almost ripped off his beard when his hand trembled and jerked. His eyes widened in pain. “Quasi… Quasi God?” Little Peng had become powerful.
Xu Qingzhi’s expression was blank. Even if someone told her that Young Master had gained control over a god, she would believe them. Was there anything that Young Master couldn’t do?
Gazing at Gao Peng’s back, Xu Qingzhi smiled softly. In the end, Young Master was always the most outstanding of all.
“Argh…” The White Dragon tilted its head and squinted at the Windstorm Water Magic Spider, then its eyes widened. Its soul’s sensitivity to danger warned it to leave the vicinity as soon as possible, as the spider was extremely dangerous.
Apart from the others, who were focused on the Windstorm Water Magic Spider, Ji Hanwu was instead focused on Gao Peng’s back, his eyes filled with emotion. He knew that the Windstorm Water Magic Spider wasn’t Gao Peng’s familiar. The level of his grandson’s Soul Power wasn’t high enough for him to make a contract with a Quasi God-tier familiar in such a short time.
However, he recognized Fatty Big Sea, who was standing to the side. Noticing how close it was with the spider, Ji Hanwu speculated that the fish might have been the offspring of the spider, seeking help from its mother after being bullied.
He wasn’t sure if Little Peng had to tolerate any hardships in the process of asking for the spider’s help, as such Quasi God-tier monsters were usually finicky and hard to please. Everyone else saw Gao Peng’s glory, but only his grandfather noticed Gao Peng’s effort and the hardships he’d had to endure.
The Windstorm Water Magic Spider slowly walked in front of the Sun Bear. Its sharp spider claws slid across the Sun Bear’s body without tearing through skin. Finally, it aimed a claw at a certain spot and pricked lightly.
The golden fur and skin were sliced through like paper, red tendons and muscles exposed to the air. The Windstorm Water Magic Spider lowered its head and sniffed delicately. “Ah, the smell of sweet blood.”
The Sun Bear rolled its eyes and prepared to fake its death. The spider claw pressed forward and pierced a large and thick tendon, spraying blood everywhere. It dipped its claw into the blood and put it into its mouth, tasting the liquid and rolling its flavor across its tongue.
The Windstorm Water Magic Spider smiled eccentrically. “It’s so delicious and warm. Much better than the cold blood from the ocean.”
The Sun Bear almost fainted when it heard what the spider said.
Gao Peng stuck his hands in his pockets and walked towards Pi Kuang. “I think you may have heard of my name. I’m Gao Peng.”
At first, Pi Kuang was stunned. He searched his mind for that name, and soon after that, his body trembled. His eyes widened with horror and disbelief. “You… you…”
“Stop with your stuttering. Return to your Assembly of Elders and tell them that the people of Huaxia have been a peace-loving nation since ancient times. Throughout all recorded history of Earth Star, we of the Huaxia tribe were never involved in the flames of war!” said Gao Peng. He followed it up with a smile. “In fact, we strongly despise war.”
The top officials of Huaxia were speechless. Our ancestors loved peace? Did we study fantasy instead of history?
Even the bystanders who were standing around and munching on popcorn while watching the spectacle were speechless. The history of Huaxia was clearly filled with war!
“Also, my people aren’t strong enough. We can’t help much even if we go there. Instead, we would just be a burden, as your side would have to look out for us. When that happens, we might even distract your monster trainers from more important matters,” explained Gao Peng. He paused and continued, “Not to mention that with their current strength, sending them to battle would only be a waste of precious lives.”
Pi Kuang had to suppress his urge to say that the reason for recruiting them was to use them as cannon fodder.
“Therefore, I think that we should just give up on our alliance. What do you think? I believe that you think so too, yes?”
Pi Kuang’s face contorted. He was in a dilemma. “I… I think so too, but what I say doesn’t carry weight. This matter can only be decided by the Quasi God monster trainers of the Assembly of Elders.”
“I am clearly aware of the fact that you have Quasi God-tier monster trainers. More than one in fact,” Gao Peng said as he smiled. “You really don’t need to remind me anymore. But so what?” Gao Peng asked contemptuously.
“In this critical period of your war…” Gao Peng’s smile faded rapidly, his face turning cold. “Do you really wish to make a Quasi God-tier enemy right now?”
