Gao Peng looked at the old man with worry, concerned he would faint from crying.
“Mister, calm down.” Gao Peng quickly called someone to bring a box of Instant Cardiac Relief Pills.
The elders circled around Dumby, wanting to stroke it, but afraid to anger the skeleton creature. They were like a bunch of old kids who had seen a toy they liked.
Gao Peng was intrigued and didn't interrupt them.
On the side, he continued creating his own monsters.
Gentleshrimp and Crab Butcher from before had only been curious attempts. The monster that Gao Peng wanted to make this time was no ordinary monster.
A flesh-colored four-armed ape in the room growled.
Swaying around, its body couldn't even stand steadily. The muscles on its arms looked like they had countless little mice in them, expanding and shrinking continuously.
There was a ma.s.sive boom!
Heavy footsteps startled the old patriarchs surrounding Dumby.
They turned around to see a monster they had never seen before walking out of the door.
“This monster…” Qing Yunnan was tongue-tied. This monster looked so much… like a human.
It stood at 16 feet tall, a layer of white armor growing out of its skin, and it had four arms.
The most impressive thing was its facial features—they were almost identical to those of a human.
If not for the fact that it had four arms, they almost would have thought this was some kind of human giant.
“Is this a new monster Southern Sky found? I've never seen it before.”
“You can consider it a newly discovered monster.” Gao Peng didn't go into detail.
“What's its name?” Qing Yunnan asked.
“Giant Spirit General,” said Gao Peng.
As Gao Peng's voice faded, the name in the monster's stats table changed to Giant Spirit General.
[Monster Name]: Giant Spirit General
[Monster Tier]: Level 64 (Emperor-tier)
[Monster Grade]: Excellent/Excellent
Before the Giant Spirit General was reformed, it had been a monster called the Four-Armed Monkey Demon. Through its transformation, Gao Peng added a white exoskeleton that looked like armor.
Because it was an exoskeleton, the armor could heal even after it was broken.
Although for Gao Peng, both the Four-Armed Monkey Demon and the Giant Spirit General were very weak monsters, for the current Huaxia Tribe, an Emperor-tier Giant Spirit General was still quite a high-tier monster.
Most of the strong monsters in Huaxia Tribe were only King-tier.
Every Emperor-tier monster trainer had a respectable reputation.
As it became later, the patriarchs and elders of the three tribes calmed down from their initial excitement.
After glancing at one another, Bai Tongming acted as a representative and said to Gao Peng, “Us old goats agreed when we came that if we confirmed the news to be real, it'd be the human race's fortune. From now on, our three big tribes will have your Huaxia Tribe as our leader.”
Gao Peng was a little shocked. Only after confirming several times did he realize they weren't being humble; that was really what they thought.
“Why?” Gao Peng asked a very normal question.
These elders smiled at each other, but why?
Bai Tongming lowered his head, laughing while he shook it. “There really are geniuses in this world. Us old folks used to be the geniuses of our generation, but genius is relative. You have more genius than us, you can lead us further, and we're all humans. Is that enough reason?
“Rest a.s.sured, we might be old, but our words still have some weight. What we say represents our tribes!”
“For humans…” Gao Peng mumbled to himself.
“Exactly, for humans!” Bai Tongming was laughing at first, but his voice grew raspy. “For something so vague and insubstantial, so many of us… have died. We can't die for nothing. One day we'll have our revenge!”
Gao Peng hadn't grown up in a tribe, so he couldn't understand this sort of thinking.
But if the three big tribes were willing to yield, Gao Peng accepted after some thought.
Gao Peng told them to return first and notify the other people in their tribes, as well as the other tribes.
He'd accept anyone who was willing to be led by the Huaxia Tribe. If anyone was unwilling, Gao Peng wouldn't force them, either, including the three top tribes. Even if they went back on their word, that was okay. They could come if they wanted. He gave them three days. and they could back out within these three days, but if they continued to be undecided after that…
Gao Peng made it very clear that he definitely wouldn't be courteous just because of these elders.
On the way back, the patriarch of the Xuanhu Tribe, You Shu, said with a frown, “What did that last sentence mean?”
“Exactly what he said.” Bai Tongming summoned his familiar, a White Dragon, and mounted its back.
After the previous night's experiment, Gao Peng wiped his hands and left the lab, letting the Giant Spirit General follow him.
Gao Peng summoned all his familiars to move around freely.
The Magical Brain floated in mid-air, its conscience connecting with other familiars, inviting them to play at the East Sea.
“Wah, that's amazing! You have such a big fish pond?” Goldie exclaimed.
“I'll make them call you 'uncle,'” said the Magical Brain.
Goldie's face fell, its right hand grabbing the Magical Brain. “Ayyye, how could I accept?”
“Your fish pond…”
“The East Sea.”
“Oh right, right, right, your sea pond…” Goldie was deep in thought. “It must have a lot of fish?” Its duck feet tapped rhythmically on the floor.
“Of course there's a lot of fish in the sea.”
“Oh—” Goldie scratched its b.u.t.t, then put its hand up to its nose to sniff the familiar scent.
Goldie's eyes narrowed into slits as it said in an intoxicating tone, “Little buddy, I have a big deal. Come over here with me and I'll tell you in detail.”
“Wait.” A voice came from the air before them.
The Magical Brain's psychic power scanned the s.p.a.ce, but there was nothing.
However, the voice had definitely come from this place…
Goldie said impatiently, “Go, go, go. Go away. Don't ruin my deal.” Goldie dug out a dollar from its b.u.t.t and threw it on the ground. “Go buy a lollipop.”
Cold hostility spread through the air, an invisible blade seeming to cut into Goldie's chest.
Goldie frowned, dense blue runes surfacing from beneath its skin. Its aggressive presence swept through the room. “You want to fight with me? Can you beat me?”
“We'll only know if we try. I know your pa.s.sive effect is very strong, but are you sure you'll have the chance to multiply your pa.s.sive skill before me?” said Flowing Light's deep voice.
“Yes, right here,” thought the Magical Brain.
It looked at the empty s.p.a.ce before it.
Its psychic power scanned again and again, but there was nothing there.
What kind of concealment technique was this? If it was the brain's enemy, wouldn't that mean it couldn't find the brain even if it was standing right in front of it?
The Magical Brain had very complicated feelings.
Sensing Goldie's terrifying presence and the hostility around it, it thought it had made a lot of progress and could rank among the top of Gao Peng's familiars, but it seemed like the Magical Brain could only rank in the middle.
“Master is still here. Be quiet,” Dumby rasped.
Goldie and Flowing Light were at a stalemate for another three seconds, then revoked their presence with a humph.
“Nevermind. I won't argue with a kid.” Goldie put its hands behind its back and walked away while wagging its head. “When you're done, I'll talk to you about a 15-million-dollar deal.”
s.p.a.ce distorted, and Flowing Light's silhouette appeared in the Magical Brain's sight.
“Are you looking for me?” The Magical Brain communicated with Flowing Light through spiritual waves, projecting its thoughts directly into Flowing Light's mind.
Flowing Light nodded. “I heard them say you have the ability to change monsters' appearances?”
When Flowing Light said this, the Magical Brain noticed its eyes were beaming. “Yes.”
“Bro, your ability is great, it's very much… sticking to the rules!” Flowing Light's blades clapped together.
“Sticking… to the rules?”
“Yes. Just like water flows to lower places and people have to eat when they're hungry. Water flows to lower places. Your ability to change appearances is sticking to the rules, excellent!” Flowing Light said with a serious face.
