Chapter 376 The White Lion (1/2)
”I knew you guys would be back,” said the Labyrinth Watcher while staring at Gao Peng.
It stared at Gao Peng with a smile while bending its huge body forward. Its red face made its smile seem even more terrifying.
Gao Peng was accompanied by more familiars compared to the previous time. One of the Labyrinth Watchers only took a glance at them but didn't say a word.
”These are my familiars. Would there be a problem if they were to come with me?” Gao Peng let Dumby ask the question.
”No problem at all.” The Labyrinth Watcher nodded slowly and then turned away to guide them along the way.
Gao Peng looked at the back of the Labyrinth Watcher and didn't say anything. He had let Dumby say the word 'familiar' deliberately. If the Labyrinth Watcher had never seen a monster trainer or a familiar, then it would have shown a different reaction, but it seemed that the Labyrinth Watcher had already known the roles of a familiar and monster trainer. Therefore, this meant that the human beings here had also been monster trainers...
”This guy is really tall,” Xu Heti whispered to Gao Peng.
The Labyrinth Watcher was nearly 65 feet tall. It would be considered a giant monster even in the Earth Star that was full of mutant monsters and familiars.
As most monsters were long in size, it was rare to see monsters with such a height.
Gao Peng, who knew Stripey's height, gave a perfunctory answer. ”It could be taller.”
He pinched the beard beside the nose of the Treasure Sniffing Rodent gently while caressing it. ”Have you memorized the route?”
”Yes!” The Treasure Sniffing Rodent nodded wildly while scrunching its nose, moving its eyes, and firmly memorizing the future route in its mind.
The maze was huge. Gao Peng had been walking for three hours but still hadn't reached the destination.
The Treasure Sniffing Rodent gawked at the road underneath its feet. Its mind went blank.
”Road… Road… Forward, left, right… Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
”Oh! My master told me to memorize the route! Front left, back right, left and left front…”
The walls around the maze were still the same height, 65 feet high. There were some vines growing on the wall, some with fat brown fruits the size of a watermelon.
[Plant name]: Breadfruit
[Plant use]: Consumable, it's rich in nutrients and water.
After gaining permission from the Labyrinth Watcher, Gao Peng plucked two breadfruits and threw them to Xu Heti. He peeled one for himself, just like he was eating a coconut. Along with the flesh inside, he drank the juice and pulp.
Xu Heti was a little worried that Gao Peng would eat fruits from an unknown source. The chairman wasn't afraid of getting poisoned at all. How could he eat just anything?
”Ah? Minister Xu! Do you want to eat this?” Gao Peng replied vaguely, with the pulp still inside his mouth.
Xu Heti, who was used to drinking boiled water from his kettle at home, smiled awkwardly. ”I'm not hungry.”
However, the Golden Dazzling Light Boxing Champion Kangaroo grabbed the breadfruit after hearing its owner saying that he wasn't hungry. It firmly hugged the breadfruit with its left arm and broke it in half with its right fist.
Thunk! A hole was made in the breadfruit.
It held the fruit and drank in big gulps. The overflowing juice dripped from the edge of its lips.
”Are we there yet?” Xu Heti had rheumatic pain in his leg. He rubbed the sweat off of his forehead.
While he was speaking, the Labyrinth Watcher who was leading the way suddenly stopped after the next corner.
Goldie, who swayed behind the Labyrinth Watcher, had stopped too late to prevent its head from hitting the heel of the Labyrinth Watcher. It bounced and fell on the ground, shaking its head in confusion and waiting to see clearly what was in front of it. Goldie widened its eyes when it found that it had fallen after knocking into the big guy in front of it.
