With the exception of Dumby, each familiar had received a share of their divine Meat Essence, although Dumby didn’t receive the Meat Essence, it received another treasure—God Spirit Essence. None of the familiars wanted to snatch the God Spirit Essence from Dumby.
The honest Dumby was slightly embarrassed as it hugged onto the backpack-sized God Spirit Essence and asked, “Why don’t I share half of this with the rest of you?”
“No, the God Spirit Essence can improve the hardening of the bones, but it can’t provide an essential improvement for them.” Gao Peng shook his head and said, “You only have skeletons, and there’s no treasure that suits you better than this.”
“Dumby, I don’t need it. You can have it.” Da Zi laughed.
“Yes, you can have it. We’re not taking it,” added Fatty Big Sea.
The other familiars expressed their views one by one, too. Dumby decided not to refuse everyone’s goodwill.
Goldie swallowed the divine Meat Essence, and Goldie had started its advancement.
“Woof, woof, woof.” There was a strange voice coming from little Goldie’s throat. Sahara, whose saliva was dripping like a waterfall, stared with its six dog eyes wide open upon hearing the voice of its master.
Don’t tell me my master isn’t a duck but also a dog? At this thought, Sahara sneakily went forward and hugged Goldie’s thighs. It brushed against Goldie’s thighs continuously.
Bang! Sahara was kicked by a foot and flew far away. Goldie roared, its grumpy muscles wildly raging. The granite-like muscles were increasingly hideous as if there were countless giant snakes moving underneath the skin.
Bang! The ground was shattered by a single stamp of Goldie’s. Bang! Goldie lost its balance, and half of its leg sunk into the soil. Tens of thousands of yards of ground, with Goldie as the center, collapsed and lowered.
On the left, Flamy’s wings were fluttering wildly, and the scorching heat spread around with it as the center, though there was no flame. The extreme heat produced had caused a massive fume of white smoke diffusing out from the soil under its feet.
“I can’t keep them going on like this. I have to separate them.” Gao Peng hadn’t expected the divine Meat Essence to bring forward such a big reaction. “All of you, don’t eat at first. Let’s do it one by one.” Gao Peng told the remaining familiars not to mess around.
Fatty Big Sea activated its water element and condensed into a big hand that grabbed Goldie and the earth under Goldie and threw everything into the far distance.
Goldie roared. Its forehead protruded, and its looks became much more prominent.
Along with Goldie’s roar, the presence from its body grew gradually stronger, its level was also rapidly rising, and the effect of the divine Meat Essence was better than imagined.
From Level 86 to Level 87 to Level 88 to Level 89 to Level 90, Goldie was rapidly advancing.
Although Goldie only had a share of the divine Meat Essence, that divine Meat Essence was one that could only have been condensed from a god that was tens of thousands of times larger in size. After reaching Level 90, Goldie started to slow down in its advancement.
Fatty Big Sea was decisive. “Gao Peng, give Goldie another share of divine Meat Essence.”
Gao Peng tore off a chestnut-sized piece of divine Meat Essence and threw it over to Goldie.
Goldie, whose back was facing Gao Peng, held up its arms to grab the divine Meat Essence. When it came into contact with Goldie’s palm, it melted like a butter on a hot pan. Goldie let out a muffled sound.
The sound of Fatty Big Sea resonated in Goldie’s ear. “Quickly, choose your first deification part, preferably an organ that can directly improve your fighting power.”
Goldie squinted and without hesitation chose its double fists!
Bam! Two golden flames rose from its small yellow fists and each punch cut through space.
“The romance of the male duck was a double punch!” Goldie snorted. “I’m going to crush all the voices of those who speak against me with my fists!”
Almost immediately after, Flamy was squealing. The green flame bolted up, and when the gray fog in the sky came into contact with the green flame, it burned red. The gray fog actually dissipated quite a lot, but the blazing fire swept through the surroundings.
After Flamy swallowed the divine Meat Essence Gao Peng had given it, Flamy hesitated for a moment. The next second, it chose its first deification part—the throat. A Bi Fang’s cry could deter spirits and evil bodies! The deified throat was further strengthened, and its power of damage to the soul continued to increase.
After advancing to Quasi God, Gao Peng found that the word “sub-blood” under the description before Bi Fang’s name had finally faded away. Perhaps with the breakthrough, it had further enhanced its internal pedigree.
With the Bi Fang’s cry, the dark clouds over their heads dispersed. The endless gray mists seemed to be made up of the souls of the dead. They were horrified and flew in all directions, and some gray mist was blown away accompanied by the sound of shrieks when they were slower to escape.
Flamy and Goldie had advanced into the Quasi God tier. At the same time, the scattered gray mist quietly gathered above them. The gray fog was growing increasingly thicker, while the wind was blowing towards them in the distance. The sun was obscured, and shadows devoured the sunlight.
In the swamp in the distance, Purple Star opened its eyes and looked in the direction of Gao Peng. It sensed another presence, an unfamiliar Quasi God, in addition to that monster above the swamp.
They were in danger.
Purple Star was hesitant for a moment, but it closed its eyes and pretended that it didn’t sense anything. I didn’t see anything… It couldn’t endure another fight, and a battle between Quasi Gods might force its heavily scarred body to collapse; there was no doubt that when it killed the enemy, it would do a greater deal of harm to itself.
I’m not afraid of death; I just don’t want to die in such a place for an unknown cause. Purple Star sat on the stone in a daze, its skeleton sitting alone in the middle of the swamp. There was only a little purple head hanging over its shoulder.
Compared to its huge body, its head was extremely tiny. Its white feet sunk in the mud, the swamp gradually devouring the back of its legs, and the bubbles burst.
The bursting bubbles were like a recollection of its memory. It saw the villagers weeping in the midst of a disaster. It saw the people of its tribe who had fallen to the ground in a massacre. It saw its comrade thumped his right fist on his chest, then dart out without hesitation in a righteous manner.
One year, two years, three years… Phew… It heaved a sorrowful sigh.
Purple Star stood up, but then sat down again. Maybe they can deal with it themselves; maybe they don’t need my help… Purple Star comforted itself like this.
“Are you unwilling to concede defeat after my daughter-in-law let out a cry?” Goldie raised its head and stared at the sky with the gray mist, its eyes full of provocation.
It stuck out its right hand to put up its middle finger, then wiggled the finger. “Do you need your grandpa Goldie to test you out?”
Flamy let out a low cry, waved its wings, and stood beside Goldie. The duck and crane stood side by side at the same time as they looked at the sky. They could feel a certain consciousness in the gray mist above their heads that was wandering back and forth and constantly scanning them.
Flamy wasn’t afraid of it, as its innate talent enabled it to naturally restrain ghosts and evil spirits, and the duck’s fighting ability was still doable.
The presence of the gray mist lingered for a quarter of a second, then finally receded. The gray mist in the sky in that area dissipated, revealing a clear sky.
Their attitude was incredibly apparent—they wanted Gao Peng and the rest to leave as soon as possible, and they didn’t want them to continue creating a mess in the Cloud Dream Swamp.
Gao Peng waved his hand, allowing Da Zi and the rest to continue their breakthrough there. As long as it wasn’t a god who was coming over to mess with them, they wouldn’t pay attention to any other existences.
As for existence at God-tier and below… their appearances would be just a good chance for them to practice their new power.
