The audience couldn?t hear what the Southeast Asian contestant was whispering.

Upon hearing its master?s calming voice, the massive bug-eyed monster visibly relaxed.

Gang Mu had also brought in his equally massive Rainforest Scorpion with him. It was the same Rainforest Scorpion he had used in the previous round.

Gao Peng curiously looked at the Giant Tarsier.

Tarsiers were native to the Southeast Asian region. They were a shy species which usually fed off crickets and other insects, and they were also emotionally tethered to their habitats. They would die if they were removed from their homes for too long.

This was the reason why one would be hard-pressed to find tarsiers outside the Southeast Asian region. He or she would have to venture into their habitats in order to take a closer look at them.

Of course, the Giant Tarsier?s presence in Didu meant that its species had finally overcome its shyness to some extent.

The Giant Tarsier cautiously poked its head out of the iron gates, then extended a bony hand out. Its long, narrow fingers looked as if they were covered with a flimsy layer of skin.

The murmur of the audience seemed to trouble the Giant Tarsier greatly. It hurriedly pulled its head back.

?Mom, let?s go. These people won?t hurt you,? Gang Mu whispered again into the Giant Tarsier?s ear.

Mom?

Gao Peng heard what Gang Mu said this time.

He could see that the Giant Tarsier was struggling to overcome its innate shyness. It looked at Gang Mu and affectionately stroked Gang Mu?s head with its hand.

Like a mother protecting her child, the Giant Tarsier moved itself in front of Gang Mu.

Gao Peng frowned at this curious scene.

The Giant Tarsier began slowly crawling onto the field, while the Rainforest Scorpion rushed out from its side.

Lucas? eyes flashed past the Rainforest Scorpion and settled on the Giant Tarsier. This was the first time he had seen such a strange-looking creature.

?Swamp Monster, stop that Rainforest Scorpion!?

The Swamp Monster slowly rolled towards the Rainforest Scorpion. The Rainforest Scorpion was now staring back at it.

As it was being controlled by the Giant Tarsier, the Rainforest Scorpion rushed at the Swamp Monster without any trepidation. A cold, wet energy began swirling around its pincers. The scorpion slammed both pincers into the Swamp Monster when it was close enough.

Its black pincers sank into the Swamp Monster, sending mud flying all over the place. However, the Rainforest Scorpion?s claws were now trapped in the mud.

The Swamp Monster?s mud became even more viscous as it absorbed all the moisture from the Rainforest Scorpion?s pincers.

With the Swamp Monster keeping the Rainforest Scorpion busy, the Silverback Ape immediately leapt towards the Giant Tarsier.

The Giant Tarsier stared at the Silverback Ape with its huge, teary eyes. Suddenly, an invisible power exploded out of the Giant Tarsier?s massive head. The Silverback Ape began to slow down, as if it was moving through quicksand.

Veins popped out around the Giant Tarsier?s eyes, which were now bloodshot.

The Silverback Ape?s movements slowed down even more, as if countless invisible spider webs were now holding it back.

?Ah Ma, it?s trying to hurt us! Kill it now!? Gang Mu whispered into the Giant Tarsier?s ear.

A fierce look crossed the Giant Tarsier?s face when it heard Gang Mu?s tearful plea.

Without warning, the Silverback Ape?s eyeballs exploded in their sockets!

The frightening thing about the Giant Tarsier was that it could wield its telekinetic powers like a whip and attack any part of its enemy?s body.

This didn?t mean that the Giant Tarsier was completely invincible; its weak physique rendered it extremely vulnerable to physical attacks.

The Giant Tarsier channeled its psychic energy past its opponent?s eye sockets and then proceeded to rip its brain into pieces.

The Silverback Ape collapsed on the ground. Blood and brain matter dribbled out of its nostrils and sockets as it continued to spasm on the ground…

?Silverback!? shouted Lucas.

His familiar?s death had inflicted massive spiritual damage on Lucas, whose face went pale instantly. He would have to recuperate for a long time in order to recover from this.

The Giant Tarsier looked at Lucas coldly. It began weaving its psychic energy towards him like a pair of feelers.

Suddenly, the Giant Tarsier screeched in pain as it held its head in its hands.

Dumby had conjured a ball of white flame in the air, burning the Giant Tarsier?s psychic feelers.

?Directly attacking your opponent is strictly forbidden. This is your first warning,? said Gao Peng flatly.

Although the Giant Tarsier had received a penalty, this still didn?t change the match?s outcome. Lucas looked gratefully at Gao Peng. If the referee hadn?t stepped in, he probably would have been killed as well. He still had no idea how his Silverback Ape had been killed. Fearing that the Swamp Monster could suffer the same fate as the Silverback Ape, Lucas decided to forfeit the match.

?The winner is Gang Mu,? announced Gao Peng. He looked at the Giant Tarsier, which stared back at him, then shifted its gaze away from him and exited the field with its master.

Back in the break room, Gao Peng asked Guo Qingshan, ?That was a weird match. Gang Mu kept calling his Giant Tarsier ?Mom.? Do Southeast Asian people like calling their familiars this way??

Guo QIngshan stifled a chuckle. ?The Southeast Asian contestants might come and mess you up for saying something like that. But I do know this: there?s a type of blood contract in the Southeast Asian region that involves pairing young children who have undergone special training with apelike monsters that have recently lost a child.

?Through long-term cohabitation, these monsters gradually come to see these human children as their own child, which would make signing a blood contract with them much easier. The only downside to this is that these human children actually have to become these monsters? foster children.?

Gao Peng fell silent, not knowing whether to praise humans? endless ingenuity or feel sorry for the children who had to go through this.

?Does this type of blood contract have a high success rate?? asked Gao Peng.

?No, it?s terribly low. Although apelike monsters are known to be gentle creatures, after losing a child, they can be quite sensitive and prone to violent outbursts. A lot of young people were torn to shreds by these monsters,? said Guo Qingshan, sighing.
