Every life was an epic story.
To the Winged Thunder Ape, the zoo worker, Jia Lu, was extremely important. Even in death, memories of Jia Lu were still deeply engraved into its soul.
As for the Wooden Peacock, which would rather die than submit, it had already proven its worth as a familiar.
What a shame they had to be enemies.
?Roar!? The corpse of the Winged Thunder Ape let out an explosive yell as it slowly stood upright. White-hot flames burned brightly in its dark eye sockets. The sound of the ash-white bones rattling against each other echoed hauntingly through the forest.
Even though this wasn?t his first time seeing it, Gao Peng was still amazed nonetheless.
It had the power to bring the dead back to life!
[Monster Name]: Winged Skeletal Ape (Subordinate of Skeletal Tyrant)
[Monster Tier]: Tier 41
[Monster Grade]: Normal
[Monster Attribute]: Ghoul/Bone
[Monster Weakness]: Holy/Light
Its grade and tier were one lower compared to before it had been reincarnated. A reincarnated ghoul wouldn?t be able to access the full spectrum of its power and abilities from when it was alive. There was a difference in the strength of all reincarnated ghouls, even though what affected this difference was yet to be fully understood.
Dumby ordered the Winged Skeletal Ape to carry the remains of the Wooden Peacock to its master?s lab before going with Gao Peng.
?Xiao Hua already evolved successfully this afternoon. She was still sleeping in the cottage when I left. Why don?t you go see if she?s awake? ? Gao Peng said with a grin on his face.
Dumby nodded in acknowledgement. It stood motionlessly as it watched Gao Peng leave. After a few moments, it clenched its right fist in front of its chest and bowed deeply in the direction of the man who had just left.
…
Everyone within Yuzhou had received explosive news the day before.
The Southern Sky Group had added to its ranks a Lord-tier familiar?the Disaster Mountain Spider.
The news swept through the upper echelons of Yuzhou?s society like the wind, and with frightening speed, it made its way through the other base cities, then the entire Huaxia region.
Everyone thought it was a joke, until they found out otherwise. Then they were shocked to the core. Their hearts were torn between feelings of envy, admiration, and awe.
?I heard that Ji Hanwu already has a Lord-tier White Dragon. Now that he has another Lord-Tier familiar, isn?t the Southern Sky Group going to be ridiculously strong?? The mayor of Mo Du Base City could be heard saying this to anyone who would listen. Somehow, word got out.
That night, the Yuzhou military and the Yuzhou government held an emergency meeting that lasted a whole three hours.
In the New World Allied Government, the military and the government had distinct and separate roles. They rarely got along well, so such a meeting was unheard of.
?Okay. Report our conclusions to the federal government of the Huaxia region. Let?s not make any sudden moves for now. As long as the Southern Sky Group doesn?t make any outrageous requests, accommodate them the best that you can.?
With that, the mayor of Yuzhou Base City concluded their meeting.
The purpose of their meeting wasn?t to oppose the Southern Sky Group in any way. They?d been forced to have the meeting simply because of the huge ramifications of this news. Currently, they had no idea whether or not the other major regions had their own Lord-tier familiars. Even with the formation of the New World Allied Government, tensions and secrecy were still high between these regions. Other than a few shared departments and projects, they were completely in the dark about what was going on in these regions.
It was common knowledge that there was only one Lord-tier familiar in the Huaxia region?Ji Hanwu?s White Dragon. Now that he had another Disaster Mountain Spider, things had to change. Who knew what Ji Hanwu had planned? It was best to be prepared for anything.
Gao Peng found out the news the following day.
?Grandfather, you just let the news out like that?? Gao Peng wasn?t used to being in the limelight. He much preferred doing all of his work in the shadows.
?I wanted to cover it up for you, but have you seen the size of your familiar? How am I supposed to hide that? People aren?t blind, y?know?? Ji Hanwu chuckled.
Gao Peng laughed ruefully. His grandpa had a point. There was no way to hide Stripey from sight unless they were living among the blind.
?So what if people know?? Ji Hanwu said calmly. ?What can they do about it??
?Remember. The strong will always prey on the weak! When I first returned to the Southern Sky Group, we had nothing. The night I came back, I was ambushed six times by snipers, familiars, and even some guy who tossed a bomb into my room.? Gao Peng?s ears perked up. This was the first time his grandfather had ever spoken about his past.
Gao Peng was shocked. ?Who would dare do such a thing?!?
Ji Hanwu waved him off. ?Because I was gone for a year, they did whatever they wanted with the group. Naturally, they were pissed when I came back.? His icy laugh didn?t reach his eyes. ?The next day, I took White Dragon with me and I executed them!?
At this point, he turned around and looked Gao Peng straight in the eyes. ?That put the fear of God in them.?
Gao Peng nodded enthusiastically, looking like a chick pecking at the ground.
?I was hoping to spare you this for another couple of years or so…? Ji Hanwu trailed off. He had never thought his grandson would grow so much so quickly. He smiled wistfully. Who knew that the grandson that he had wanted to protect so much no longer needed him?
?Grandfather, I?ll take care of you from now on.? Gao Peng?s voice was like steel.
?Haha. Don?t you worry about me. I still have a couple of tricks up my sleeve.? Ji Hanwu grinned widely.
The Shifting Constellations Technique had been discovered by Ji Hanwu in ancient ruins. He had trained in it before, so he knew best just how powerful it was. He could say for sure now that Gao Peng was definitely stronger than him and didn?t require his protection any longer.
On the third day, Stripey started moving towards where Gao Peng was. He eventually settled down in the mountains behind the manor.
The Yuzhou government noticed the gigantic creature, but they turned a blind eye. The Huaxia region had issued an order earlier?stand down.
This was the Yuzhou government?s official stance. However, the staff at the Southern Sky Group felt differently. All of a sudden, they felt as though they were working in the most secure place on Earth…
