Chapter 365 The Black Fog (2/2)

Goldie nodded and strode into the black fog.

”Team two, you're on standby,” said the civil servant into a microphone that was clipped on his collar. He carried himself like a high-ranking official in the government.

”No need. You guys don't need to do anything,” said Gao Peng. ”Goldie can handle this alone.”

The civil servant looked at Gao Peng, stunned. Then he nodded obediently at him.

Suddenly, a resounding bang sounded from the black fog. A strange sound followed shortly after. It sounded like a block of wood hitting the ground.

The civil servant anxiously strained his eyes in the darkness, worrying that something bad had happened to the duck.

”Sounds like the lizards are crying out in pain,” whispered someone beside him.

The civil servant sighed in relief.

Woo, woo, woo—

From the darkness echoed strange, quickening sounds, punctuated by the sound of walls being smashed inside the building.

The sounds grew quicker by the minute.

Finally, the sounds stopped. From the black fog, a huge black figure stepped out into the outside world.

Everyone outside the black fog tensed up like a new enemy had appeared before them.

The huge black figure before them stood at least 20 feet tall. It looked almost human. Has a new monster appeared in this world? was everyone's thought at that moment.

Goldie emerged from the black fog with a wistful look on its face, its body now bulked up.

Its Buddhist prayer beads seemed to be hanging loosely around its neck. There were palm-sized gaps between the beads. It was a good thing that the prayer beads had been strung together using an extremely malleable material that could be stretched to a hundred times its length. The material had been obtained from a Plant-type monster.

Goldie lovingly touched its prayer beads. It happily quacked when it realized that the beads were still intact.

Amitabha, quack, quarck!

”Quarck. Gao Peng, I beat up all the monsters inside…” After hesitating for a while, it continued, ”They were all fish, fish that could walk on four legs.”

After saying this, Goldie turned around and reached into the black fog behind it and pulled out a 13-foot-long Black Jacket Gecko from the fog. The gecko wasn't exactly small, but in Goldie's wing, it was like a toy, completely at the mercy of the duck.

”It's a gecko,” said Gao Peng, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. What a rascal.

Goldie paused for a few seconds, then lowered its gaze at the gecko in its wing and said slowly, ”Why can't it be a fish?”

”Fish don't have legs. Most fish don't, anyway,” explained Gao Peng.

Goldie slowly nodded. It took hold of the Black Jacket Gecko's neck with its right wing and began ripping off its limbs one by one with its left wing. When it was done, it threw the gecko's limbs into the black fog behind it. ”Now it's a fish.”

The Black Jacket Gecko hadn't seemed to feel any pain when it had its limbs torn off by Goldie, nor had it seemed to mind Goldie casually discarding its limbs. It was looking at the duck excitedly.

”See, its legs are fake. It's even smiling right now,” said Goldie, still playing with the Black Jacket Gecko in its wings.

”So, it's a fish!” the duck concluded.

Gao Peng silently looked at it. All this just for 500 Alliance dollars...

”All right, fine. I'll give you 500 bucks for it,” said Gao Peng with a strained smile, spreading out his hand to show the duck five of his fingers.

Gao Peng and Goldie were probably the only ones who understood what was going on between them. The bespectacled civil servant looked at both of them in confusion. What the hell are they gesturing about? Are they saying that there are still five other monsters in the building? he thought.
