Chapter 306 The Tou (1/2)
Both Dumby and Flamy were far too big to take the stairs.
Gao Peng led the rest of his familiars up the stairs, leaving those two beneath him.
A couple of heads poked out from the top of the stairs, curiously observing Dumby.
Dumby naturally noticed the little pipsqueaks taking a peek at it in the distance. However, it didn't pay them any mind.
”That's a walking skeleton,” muttered one of them.
”It's a monster,” one of his friends corrected him.
”An ugly-looking one.”
”Ugh, it's so ugly. It doesn't even have any flesh!”
”What does a walking skeleton need flesh for?”
”I once picked on this pile of bones,” one of the bigger boys loudly proclaimed.
”Rubbish. There's no way you would dare do such a thing...”
”What's there to be afraid of?” The boy picked up a stone and threw it at Dumby.
The stone spun a few times through the air until it landed at Dumby's feet.
Dumby slowly looked down at the stone, then raised its right foot and stamped down on the stone.
The stone was instantly reduced to dust!
Dumby turned towards the boy who had thrown the stone at it, cold white flames now burning fiercely in its eye sockets.
The boy shuddered. His eyes soon began to redden, and he exploded into tears. Some of the children quickly fled the place.
Ten minutes later, the children came back.
A stocky-looking child walked in front of the group. He must have been their leader. He was holding a rope in his hands, the other end of which was bound around the neck of a 13-foot-tall, 22-foot-long dog.
The huge dog didn't seem to have any fur on it. Blood vessels could be seen crisscrossing the surface of its body. Its bloodshot eyes were fixed steadfastly on Dumby.
The children threw Dumby dirty looks. Some of them still had tears in their eyes.
”Sic 'em, boy!”
As soon as the leader loosened his grip on the rope, the huge dog immediately barrelled towards Dumby.
Some of the elders had heard the commotion.
”Hey, Lee, isn't that Wang Cai's barking?” asked one of them.
”Yeah, it is...” The old woman named Lee quickly got to her feet and shouted, ”Wang Cai...”
Suddenly, the dog's barking stopped.
A moment later, a naked dog came bolting around the corner with its tail tucked between its legs, as if something had scared the living daylights out of it.
”Wahhh...” A child came running after the dog, screaming his lungs out until his voice went hoarse.
After dusting the entire room, Gao Peng came down the stairs, only to find Dumby surrounded by a crowd of angry-looking old people.
