Chapter 370 The Highland Base City (1/2)

Without understanding the situation, none of them had the courage to recklessly send people to approach the lord. They could easily create trouble for themselves before they were clear of the situation.

”Those Black Fog Lizards… Hmm, I think they were called Black Jacket Geckoes.” Xu Heti mumbled the name over and over again.

”Yes. They were called the Black Jacket Geckoes in the Black Fog World.”

Xu Heti didn't dwell on the name. ”We requested to take a part of the Black Jacket Gecko's carcass from the government so that we could study it. However, we found out that its flesh contained a lot of nutrients. Any monster that consumes their meat will go through changes in emotion, and at the same time, their blood pressure will increase.”

”The Labyrinth Watchers once said that these Black Jacket Geckoes were their source of food. Hence, it's expected to contain high nutrients.” Gao Peng was lost in his thoughts. ”Moreover, they also mentioned that the Black Jacket Gecko meat could be addictive if one was to consume too much of it.”

Xu Heti was stunned for a second before she nodded quietly.

They would have to discuss it once they got back. The real results could only be proven through precise data from research in the laboratory. However, the chairman had at least given them a direction. It would, at the very least, save a lot of effort for the people in the laboratory.

In fact, Gao Peng rarely conducted experiments personally nowadays. He handed over most of the cases to his subordinates, and he merely needed to provide vague directions. Xu Qingzhi was now able to produce most of the low-grade drugs under Gao Peng's diligent training. All the reagents that were consumed by the familiars below Commander-tier were considered low-grade drugs by Gao Peng.

”Mr. Chairman, there's something that I need to report to you. We were defeated at Changping, and we were only able to bring back the Fire of The Mysterious Underworld,” Xu Heti said solemnly.

”What do they have over there?” Gao Peng asked curiously.

”Ghost soldiers!” Xu Heti frowned. ”Moreover, they're led by a general who called himself Zhao Kuo. I'm not sure if it's true that he has the power to absorb the healing abilities of the ghost soldiers, but undeniably, he is very capable.”

”I don't care whether he's Zhao Kuo or Li Kuo. I'll kill everyone who tries to take our belongings,” Ji Hanwu said emotionlessly.

The rest of the people didn't utter a word. They were all applauding their big brother in their mind.

Ji Hanwu patted Gao Peng's head as he said gently, ”You should return to the villa and take a good rest. I'll be back soon.”

He then lifted his head where the gentleness on his face had disappeared. In exchange, his expression was cold and merciless.

”White Dragon!”

Roar.

A loud noise that resembled thunder came from the sky. Dense and thick clouds covered the sky. The white head of a dragon appeared among the dark clouds. The figure shot towards the ground from the sky and created a long white trail that linked the sky and the ground.

The trail spun a few times in front of Gao Peng, creating a fierce wind that messed up Gao Peng's hair.

When he regained his composure, his grandfather had vanished. Only the white dragon in the distance was left in the clouds.

”Grandfather is still as hot-tempered as before. He leaves whenever he wants.” Gao Peng fixed his hair before he led the familiars home.
