Chapter 381 The Little Lion’s Ambition (1/2)
Gao Peng stood there transfixed, feeling at a loss for words. He suddenly couldn't wrap his head around the situation.
Am I dumb? Am I?
”This place of yours is the Black Fog World, right?”
”That's right.” The little lion glanced sideways at him.
Gao Peng continued, ”Uh… do you guys have Overlord-tier monsters here?”
”Yes.”
”… I do know that there are a few strong wild monsters in my world, but there are also very few treasures there.” Gao Peng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He suddenly didn't know how to continue. I'm no fool. If there's good stuff available, how could I let the opportunity slip?
”Do you think that you aren't actually a fool?”
Gao Peng hesitated and looked down only to see the Desolate Frost Lion staring back at him with the type of kind and caring look reserved for the mentally disabled.
”Some treasures require time to develop. Wouldn't you simply grab all those treasures and place them at home first, before watching them grow and develop?” said the Desolate Frost Lion with a pained expression. How had he ended up with such a silly master? This was just too silly! Absolutely foolish!
”Just think about it; you can't possibly be watching over your treasures twenty-four seven, right? If there came a day where you weren't careful and your treasure was eaten up by those monsters, what would you do then?” the little lion lectured patiently.
”Wait, wait, wait, wait…” Gao Peng put up both his hands. ”You're saying… my treasure?” Gao Peng suddenly realized that the lion had a certain virtue—it was even more thick-skinned than he was.
”Treasure belongs to the strong, of course!” the Desolate Frost Lion replied in a loud voice, confidently raising its head and stretching out its neck.
”Strong like you?” Gao Peng gave it a flick on the forehead, and the little lion fell back on its bottom, shaking its head adorably.
”B*stard! Hares may pull dead lions by the beard, and a lion trapped in a labyrinth can end up being controlled by a human. Just you wait…” In the next moment, the lion was picked up by Gao Peng and had a fist rubbing into its head.
Of course, no one else could hear the conversation between Gao Peng and the Desolate Frost Lion. In Xu Heti's eyes, Gao Peng had simply bent over and affectionately brought the snowy white lion into his arms. It was such a heartwarming sight.
”Young Master, how should we take care of the carcasses?” Xu Heti looked at the eight carcasses on the ground and couldn't help drawing a deep breath. These were the bodies of eight Lord-tier monsters!
A total of eight in one go! If word got out, it could shake the world.
In a situation where a single Lord-tier monster could protect an entire city, having eight Lord-tier monsters was an unimaginable number and a very frightening one.
Furthermore, eight Lord-tier monsters meant that there were eight Lord-tier monster core crystals, as well as a large number of materials.
It was only then that Xu Heti truly understood how fearsome Gao Peng was. Before, he had always known that his young master was strong, but exactly how strong, he had never actually realized.
Right now, he more or less understood.
While fighting just now, his familiar, the Golden Dazzling Light Boxing Champion Kangaroo, had also gone up against a Labyrinth Watcher, but all it had managed to do was merely keep the Labyrinth Watcher busy. To actually take down a Labyrinth Watcher was, in fact, a very difficult task.
The Labyrinth Watchers were large in size, and that had left very little space for the Boxing Champion Kangaroo to evade them in the narrow spaces of the labyrinth. There were many instances where it had almost been sent to the afterlife.
In the end, the Labyrinth Watcher that his Golden Dazzling Light Boxing Champion Kangaroo had kept busy for so long was sent flying with a slap from that fearsome yellow duckling. It was just like a father disciplining his son; there was no room for resistance.
So this is Young Master's true strength… There was a change in the way Xu Heti looked at Gao Peng.
At the same time, a sense of pride also welled up in his heart. This is the Southern Sky's young master.
