?Let?s just get this over with,? said the burly man in the middle.

The red-haired girl nodded, and a translucent mantis stepped forth from behind her. It was almost as tall as a human being and seemed to be made of a glass-like material.

[Monster Name]: Glass Mantis

[Monster Level]: Level 28

[Monster Grade]: Normal

[Monster Attribute]: Light

[Monster Ability]: Light-bending Camouflage Level 1

[Monster Weakness]: 1. Dark-type attacks 2. Dirty water 3. Despite being a formidable Assassin-type creature, it?s quite susceptible to extreme pressure.

The Glass Mantis? form rippled under the sun, before it turned completely transparent on the spot. The only hint of its existence was an iridescent blur in the air.

Gao Peng instinctively took a step to the side, placing himself in front of Huang Ya.

Bam!

Gao Peng was sent flying in the opposite direction by the Glass Mantis.

Goldie?s body suddenly gleamed with a flash of purple light… It began to panic when it saw Gao Peng being attacked by the mantis.

?Quack, quack, quack!?

Its muscles began to bulge, its veins now as thick as water pipes. When it took a step forward, the ground gave way beneath its foot.

The trees around Goldie were all slanting towards it as it strained against the spider web. However, no matter how hard Goldie pulled against it, the white spider web was still stuck fast to the duck.

At that moment, Goldie looked like a rickshaw puller driving an extremely heavy passenger as it arduously placed one foot after another towards Gao Peng.

The ground began to crack beneath Goldie. The trees creaked dangerously around it.

The duck was now growing angrier. A purple light strobed across the surface of its body as it began sinking into the earth with each step.

Gao Peng has given all this to me. I can?t let him down now! it thought.

It was now gaining more and more muscle mass with each passing minute…

Realizing what was going on with the strange-looking duck, Jia Ru barked at the others, ?Don?t attack the duck and its master. We can deal with them later. Just focus your attacks on his other familiars.?

Jia Ru refused to believe that the duck?s ability didn?t have any drawbacks. It must have some sort of weakness. Maybe it has a time limit, he thought.

There was a ripping sound from the spider web, which was starting to give way.

Goldie sank even deeper into the ground, sending huge slabs of earth flying into the air. The trees finally snapped and fell to the ground.

The duck let out an enraged roar and rushed at its enemies.

At its current size, it could now cover at least 16 feet with each step. It was able to reach the Glass Mantis in a few long strides.

The duck then drove a huge fist towards it, and the Glass Mantis shattered into a million pieces upon impact.

The red-haired girl went pale and almost collapsed to the ground as her knees wobbled dangerously beneath her.

Goldie slowly pulled its massive wing out of the ground and straightened itself before its enemies.

Bits of glass fragments and viscous fluid fell from its wing.

It swiveled around to face the red-haired girl and her two other companions, its face completely devoid of feeling.

To these people, the duck had become a monster in the truest sense of the word. Their hearts were now thumping hard against their chests. Can we even beat this monster?

Gao Peng massaged his stomach. While his familiars could absorb any damage he received, he had still had to endure the pain of being struck in the stomach.

These people had been under the impression that Dumby and the female spider were his trump cards, when in fact, it had been Goldie this whole time.

Gao Peng had ordered Flamy to spray out flames seemingly at random in order to hide the fact that he was trying to trigger Goldie?s passive ability.

The earth beneath them trembled. The resounding booms in the distance seemed to be moving closer.

Jia Ru frowned.

He wasn?t going to let anyone ruin his plans. If everything went as planned, they would be able to give birth to a powerful Mountain Spirit King, the true ruler of the mountains!

They had reached the most critical moment of its evolution process. All the monsters in the forest were now at their most sensitive. Every Mountain Spirit in the area had descended into a frenzy.

Right now, the Mountain Spirits were only driven by instinct. They must have been drawn to the commotion the fight had stirred up.

?I didn?t expect these two to be this strong.? Jia Ru?s brows furrowed even more as he gazed down at the others. He had thought that they would be able to subdue both Gao Peng and Huang Ya with eight familiars, since Gao Peng only had one Lord-tier familiar with him. They should have been able to handle his other Commander-tier familiars with ease.

Jia Ru shouted at the others, ?Delay them. Once the Mountain Spirit King?s evolution is complete, these people will be buried here alongside their familiars!?

…

Ji Hanwu was now certain that his grandson was in trouble. However, he still didn?t know where Gao Peng was at that moment.

While a blood contract could allow a trainer to communicate with their familiar telepathically within a certain range, neither party could sense where the other was through this psychic connection.

Ji Hanwu hurriedly made a few calls and soon learned that Gao Peng had left the city via the northern exit. Without any further delay, he left Yuzhou City on his White Dragon.

…

Seconds turned into minutes as the other seven familiars gazed at Goldie warily from a safe distance.

Gao Peng didn?t dare send Goldie away to help Dumby out, as Stripey alone wouldn?t be enough to stave off all seven familiars. While he might have been able to survive their onslaught, the same couldn?t be said for Huang Ya.

Gao Peng wasn?t too concerned about their attempt to hold him off, as his grandfather was definitely on his way to his location with reinforcements. He would be able to turn the tables against his aggressors as soon as Ji Hanwu was there.

For some reason, the air had become extremely hot. Gao Peng looked to the east and saw a lava-like fluid bleeding out of a blackened mountain in the distance. Everything it touched melted away instantly.

There was a huge gaping hole at the base of the Mountain Spirit King. Smoke was billowing out of it.

[Monster Name]: Mountain Spirit King (in the middle of an evolution)

[Monster Level]: Level 50.5 (?)

[Monster Attribute]: Earth

[Monster Grade]: Epic (Perfect?)

[Description]: A herd of Mountain Spirits has gathered around one of its own in an attempt to stimulate its evolution.

?Haha! The Mountain Spirit King?s evolution cannot be stopped at this point! Rejoice, you lowly beings, for you are about to witness the birth of the most powerful Mountain Spirit King in the world! We will officially begin our plans for world domination once its evolution process is complete. I?ll let your precious Yuzhou City be the first to taste my wrath!? said Jia Ru gleefully.

The black Mountain Spirit King was extraordinarily massive.

An ordinary Mountain Spirit usually stood at a few thousand feet tall. However, the evolving Mountain Spirit King was now at least 3,000 feet tall.

?Mountain Spirit King, I order you to capture these two!? shouted Jia Ru at the Mountain Spirit.

The black mountain trembled.

In the next instant, three huge black walls rose up around Gao Peng and Huang Ya. The walls gleamed with a curious black light and continued to rise up until they formed a roof above them.

The walls then extended towards the hole on the Mountain Spirit King?s base.

The world around Gao Peng had gone dark. The only light he could see in the tunnel was from the red embers that the Mountain Spirit King was breathing out of its gaping mouth.

Gao Peng and Huang Ya felt as if they had been shoved inside a bottle, where the only way out was via the Mountain Spirit King?s mouth.

Heat washed over them in waves from the Mountain Spirit King?s mouth, which seemed to be rimmed with a red-hot tinge.

?No, what are you doing…? Jia Ru cried out in surprise. The Mountain Spirit King had also trapped him inside the tunnel.

The air inside was now heating up as the Mountain Spirit King drew towards them.
