Chapter 108 Perfect Grade Part Five (1/2)
Eventually, the hedgehog familiar was saved and removed from the cage. The Skull-winged Blue Bat was no longer resting, but it still hung on the metal wires of the cage, surveying its surroundings on full alert.
Its two ears continued to shake. It would yawn occasionally, showing its sharp fangs.
The previous attack was likely a supersonic one with a high-pitched frequency. While the hedgehog was being rescued, Gao Peng sneaked a glance at it and saw that blood oozed from its ears and eyes. Some of the sharp spikes on its back had cracked.
The cracked sharp spikes seemed like they could fall off at any time. The hedgehog looked uncomfortable and arched its back towards the ground, and several of the damaged spikes did come off. With many of the black spikes gone from the back of the hedgehog looked as if it were growing bald. There was exposed the pinkish flesh underneath the spikes.
The hedgehog familiar turned away from the crowd. With the bald patches it could no longer face people.
...
Gao Peng stared at it for a while. The supersonic attack of the Skull-winged Blue Bat was quite something. Although the hedgehog familiar was only level 15, the spikes on its back were one of its most lethal weapons, and definitely tough.
However, even spikes as tough as that were cracked by the supersonic attack. Gao Peng did not think Stripey's current defense was any better than the hedgehog's.
As Gao Peng calmed the restless Stripey, he entered into a spectator mode. He noticed Instructor Zhang's gaze but remained unmoved, as it would be impossible for him to take part in the battle. Stripey was dumb and the monster was too strong. It would be too much of a gamble.
Two familiars suffered consecutive defeats. The people at the scene had more or less grasped the actual strength of the monster.
When Instructor Zhang asked if anyone wanted to continue challenging it, everyone looked at each other. Some even looked to the sky, while others looked down at the ground.
It infuriated Instructor Zhang. It only took one monster to turn you all into cowards, he thought.
”You, you, I remember you wimps. You're always the liveliest during normal training. Aren't you guys the self-proclaimed F4? Why are you chickening out now?”
”Aiyo,” a student said, putting his hands on his stomach and laying on the ground. ”My stomach is not feeling so well.”
As the Three-tailed Teddy beside the boy saw its master lay down, a sparkle flashed through its eyes. All three of its tails began to shake at the same time.
”Forget it, I guess you guys graduated from the drama academy,” Chief Instructor Chen said. Upon finding out that he could not motivate the students, he did not force them. ”This Skull-winged Blue Bat will be brought over and put in the cage every day. It will only be removed when one of you succeeds in defeating it.”
As he said that, Chief Instructor Chen unconsciously snuck a glance at Gao Peng. Their eyes connected and Gao Peng felt a little awkward. What has this got to do with me? he thought.
Gao Peng did not rush home after the afternoon training session. First he brought Stripey to the Monster Hunter Alliance.
In the last month, Gao Peng had been collecting materials for Stripey's evolution. He had finally collected everything that afternoon. He reached the Monster Hunter Alliance, but at that moment it was rather busy.
Gao Peng queued for a while before it was his turn. He put his fingerprints on the biometric scanner as the camera aimed straight at him. He passed the verification procedure.
After receiving his quest items, Gao Peng left riding Stripey. Due to Stripey's size there was no way they would fit on the public bus, so they had to walk.
Luckily Stripey was not much slower than the public bus. The only thing was that the fur on Stripey's back pricked at Gao Peng's butt. He felt scratchy and slightly uncomfortable; next time, he would place a cushion on Stripey.
As he reached the studio, Gao Peng brought down the external lift to bring Stripey upstairs. Stripey rubbed Gao Peng affectionately and Gao Peng went to the laboratory to prepare the experiment materials.
He processed the materials and modulated agents. The total preparation time was three hours and the sky had already begun to turn dark.
After putting all the modulated agents into the experimental cylinder, the boiling hot water began to diffuse the agent.
Gao Peng pushed opened the laboratory door. He did not see Stripey out in the corridor. Where exactly did that guy go?
