Chapter 375 The Black Fog Revisited (2/2)

”The Labyrinth Watchers told me that their master doesn't exactly hate humans,” said Gao Peng. ”I think we should at least see what the labyrinth's master is like before we make a decision.”

”Young Master, that's too risky.”

”Way too risky.”

”It could be a trap.”

”Relax, I have a few aces up my sleeve. Some of my familiars aren't that big. They could probably pass through the Spatial Rift with me. I won't be going in empty-handed.” Gao Peng suddenly felt thankful for the fact that he still had a couple of medium-sized familiars with him.

Excluding Stripey, an untriggered Goldie, Flamy, Da Zi, Dumby, the Treasure Sniffing Rodent, Silly, and Xiao Cao could all come with him through the Spatial Rift, even though the last three would probably serve as nothing more than fillers for his team.

”I'll go with you, Young Master,” said Xu Heti.

Uncle Liu wanted to offer his help, but he decided against it. His Shadow Japalura and Blood Eye Bearded Vulture were way too big to enter the Spatial Rift.

Suddenly, he said, ”I'll let Softy go with you. Softy recently reached Lord-tier, but I think it could be of some use to you in your mission.”

Softy was Uncle Liu's Nightshadow Cat. It had already been at Level 40 back in Changping. However, it couldn't level up any further due to it being stuck in the Excellent grade back then. Only after Gao Peng helped it improve its grade was it able to hit Lord-tier.

Gao Peng nodded, accepting Uncle Liu's offer. The more familiars he had, the more confident he felt about coming out of the labyrinth alive.

He now had eight Lord-tier familiars coming along with him: the Nightshadow Cat, Xu Heti's Golden Dazzling Light Boxing Champion Kangaroo, Da Zi, Goldie, Flamy, Dumby, the Winged Thunder Monkey Skeleton, and the King Eel Skeleton.

The Wood Peacock Skeleton and the King Centipede Skeleton were too big to fit through the Spatial Rift.

Both Goldie and Dumby were Legendary-grade, while Da Zi was Epic-grade. The rest could serve as support. With eight familiars by his side, dealing with eight Labyrinth Watchers wouldn't be a problem.

The only thing troubling him was the fact that the levels of these Labyrinth Watchers were extremely high. Seven of them were Level 49, while one of them was Level 50. It was noteworthy that single level differences in the later stages of a monster's growth could make a world of a difference in its power level. While some of Gao Peng's own familiars could stand a chance against these watchers in one-on-one combat, the same couldn't be said about the rest.

The next day, Uncle Liu was already waiting for Gao Peng outside the company's headquarters early in the morning. Beside him stood the Nightshadow Cat, which was clearly bigger than a black panther.

”I won't be going with you. I'll let Softy go with you. Don't worry, it'll listen to your every command,” said Uncle Liu with a chuckle.

”Meow...” The Nightshadow Cat gazed at Gao Peng and let out a soft mewl.

Xu Heti had brought his Golden Dazzling Light Boxing Champion Kangaroo with him as well, though he was also coming along with Gao Peng.

Soon, a car drove them straight to the Baiye District, which was still on lockdown. They would have to make timely reports concerning the Spatial Rift to the Yuzhou government. Even though the Baiye District had been blocked off for the past few days, the government was still not prepared for this.

The soldiers stood aside to make way for Gao Peng and company, letting them pass through until they reached the Spatial Rift. A new building was being erected on the foundations of the abandoned building that had been housing the Spatial Rift all this time.

This was Xu Heti's first time entering the Spatial Rift. He gawked at his surroundings curiously as he walked through it alongside Gao Peng.

On the other side of the Spatial Rift was the Black Fog World. A couple of Black Jacket Geckoes were playing around in a corner, but as soon as they heard the footsteps of Gao Peng and his familiars, they quickly scattered in all different directions.

Just then, a dull, yet familiar set of footfalls echoed in the distance...
