After putting away the 19 different types of dragon meat, Gao Peng summoned Dragon Ant.
First, he handed the Soil Traveling Mud Dragon's meat to Dragon Ant, the Soil Traveling Mud Dragon's meat was yellowish and mushy like a puddle of mud.
There were even some red blood streaks in it, like red earthworms tossing in the mud.
From its appearance, the Soil Traveling Mud Dragon meat was quite strange.
But Dragon Ant was having a good time, chomping down with its head buried in the meat.
Ten minutes pa.s.sed, half an hour pa.s.sed, Dragon Ant didn't have any changes.
Rubbing its stomach, Dragon Ant glanced at Gao Peng, then lowered its head, looking rather guilty.
"It's okay, let's try the next type of meat," Gao Peng comforted Dragon Ant.
Dragon Ant's ability to inherit characteristics from eating dragon meat doesn't work 100% of the time in the first place.
Failure is normal.
The second type of dragon meat, the third type of dragon meat…
Dragon Ant swallowed one type after another of dragon meat.
Dragon Ant's pa.s.sive effect never got triggered, meaning it never gained a new attribute. This has to do with quant.i.ty as well. There wasn't much of this dragon meat.
After swallowing the seventh type of dragon meat, Dragon Ant suddenly convulsed, kneeling to the ground with a thump.
The wings on Dragon Ant's back spread out, and its eyes glowed an eerie red.
It worked?!
Gao Peng was surprised, the dragon meat he just fed Dragon Ant was from Gloomy Horned Dragon, an Epic Grade dragon clan.
Dragon Ant's head slowly cracked open, and two pitch-black horns grew out of its skull.
A row of stats flashed across Gao Peng's eyes.
Dragon Ant's newly obtained special characteristic-
[Gloomy Horns] When Dragon Ant is in Gloomy Horned Dragon condition, Gloomy Horns will grow out of its forehead. It allows Dragon Ant to obtain additional Dark Element immunity, as well as increase Dragon Ant's speed in dark environments.
After eating all 19 types of dragon meat, Dragon Ant obtained three dragon clan conditions.
The other two were Blood Weeping Dragon and Buddha Emperor Dragon.
Blood Weeping Dragon has one special characteristic and Buddha Emperor Dragon has two special characteristics.
Blood Weeping Dragon's special characteristic is Blood-Drinking, which allows it to heal its injuries by drinking blood.
Buddha Emperor Dragon's special characteristics are Suppressive Prison and Iron Chains.
[Suppressive Prison] Buddha Emperor Dragon will cause additional damage to Dark-type monsters. The damage afflicted will affect the Dark monster's mobility.
[Iron Chains] After Buddha Emperor Dragon is injured, it will increase its defense. The defense is limited to physical and elemental defense, not including soul defense. This ability can be stacked a maximum of nine times.
These three dragon clans' abilities weren't strong and couldn't be used as aces. They could only be backup plans in specific situations.
Of course, asking for compensation from the natives of this world was only one part of Gao Peng's plan.
It was also to obtain a "legal" ident.i.ty.
At least with this ident.i.ty, Gao Peng won't be attacked by both sides on the battlefield.
Waiting for the two sides to break out into battle and then fis.h.i.+ng in the muddied waters is possible in theory.
But this method demands great strength. Only when your strength is at the top of both sides could you enter the battlefield and escape.
The other monsters aren't idiots. When a third party enemy appears on the field, their first reaction would be to join hands to attack the third party, which they don't know the intentions of.
Only by entering the battlefield as a mercenary can Gao Peng more directly observe the mysterious Constellation.
Gao Peng found the monsters in Constellation all had Star or Yin attributes. Although there were exceptions, they were very rare.
"When are you going to act? You've been observing for an entire day!" Doomsday Volcano Dragon, who had shrunk down many times, said angrily as it stood by Gao Peng's side.
"No rush, if I act now I can only catch some small fish. Don't you want to catch a big one?" Gao Peng said with a smile.
"Hmph." the Doomsday Volcano Dragon scoffed, "That better be the case."
"Their G.o.ds still haven't appeared?" Gao Peng muttered, "That shouldn't be unless they're scheming something?"
On the battlefield ahead, countless monsters flew out of the rift in the sky.
The one charging in front was a monster that was silver all over with a pair of wings that looked like a water snake.
These monsters were the greatest in quant.i.ty, making up nearly 50% of Constellation's force. Their tiers varied from Leader Tier to Overlord Tier.
[Monster Name] Star Dark Snake
[Monster Tier] Level 21-80
[Monster Grade] Normal Grade (Excellent Grade) (Perfect Grade) (Epic Grade)
[Monster Attributes] Star
[Monster Ability] Stellar Power Storage Stellar Power Control
[Special Characteristic] Galaxy Tides (When enough Star Dark Snake are located in the same region, it evokes the consonance of Galaxy Tides.
Effect 1. Pa.s.sive Effect: Galaxy Tides will spread out with the Star Dark Snake group at the center, changing the surrounding environment.
Effect 2. Pa.s.sive Effect: Star type monsters will receive a power boost in the Galaxy Tides, non-Star type monsters will be suppressed by the Galaxy Tides.
[Monster Weakness] Star Dark Snakes have white scales three inches below their jaws. Attacking the scales here will cause the Star Dark Snake to lose their mobility.
[Monster Description] A type of monster located in the Tyrant Galaxy. Like to act on instinct, like to stay in places where the Power of Stars is dense, dislike the heat.
After reading the description of the special characteristics, Gao Peng carefully observed and noticed a subtle layer of silvery-white ripples spreading out in the air. That must be Galaxy Tides.
Right as Gao Peng was thinking, a strong aura suddenly rose behind the rift.
Then Gao Peng saw a sharp spear piercing the vanity s.p.a.ce.
Boom!
As if the galaxy was backrolling, a dazzling silvery white galaxy penetrated the battlefield.
Its horrifying repercussions tore apart countless monsters in the perimeter, clearing out a large area.
It's here.
Gao Peng narrowed his eyes.
"The great Galaxy Spear is here!" A booming voice rang out from the fading clouds of dust.
"Woowoowoo~."
"Roar roar roar~."
The monsters on the Constellation side roared with effort.
When all the dust cleared away, a 1.5-meter-tall humanoid monster that crouched on the ground its hindlegs and propped on the ground with its forelegs swept the s.p.a.ce in front of it with a cold gaze.
Its gaze was sharp as a blade.
It wore a helmet that covered more than half of its face, and its silver pupils gleamed under the mask.
Two long spears that looked like they were made of aurora were stuck behind its back.
A silvery-white thick-billed parrot stood on this monster's shoulder.
The parrot took a deep breath, then yelled loudly, "The great Galaxy Spear is here!"
The humanoid monster stood up straight and crossed its arms, raising its chin to look ahead with scorn.
"Liuguang, is this your brother?" Goldie exclaimed.
Liuguang's face fell.
"This height, this body size, this gaze…what a resemblance," Goldie was overwhelmed.
"That's the one who heavily injured Ghost Lamp Fish on the battlefield seven days ago," Doomsday Volcano Dragon's puppet said with a low voice.
If not for two other G.o.ds trying their hardest to save Ghost Lamp Fish, this thing would have slaughtered its first G.o.d.
Recalling the battle from that day, a hint of fear flashed across Doomsday Volcano Dragon's eyes.
"You guys go first, don't get too excited. Do you want to make it go away or to make it stay? If you want it to stay, then you have to listen to me," said Gao Peng, "It knows about your abilities, but if an unfamiliar face appears it would only become more alert, so we must kill it in one shot!"
Dumby patted Doomsday Volcano Dragon's puppet's shoulder.
Doomsday Volcano Dragon thought for a bit, then nodded gravely.
"I hope you're not lying to me. Otherwise, I'll let you know how petty a dragon can be."
