Chapter 383 Uninvited Guests (1/2)

”Oh.” Gao Peng nodded his head, then shut the black suitcase.

”What are you doing?” The Desolate Frost Lion was stunned.

”I'll have to disappoint you for the time being, then. You can wait until we get some high-class spirit materials before you eat.” Gao Peng amiably patted the little lion on the head.

The Desolate Frost Lion was blank.

Gao Peng got up and placed the black suitcase in a location where the lion couldn't reach it, then instructed the others not to feed it before he turned and left.

The Desolate Frost Lion was too prideful. Even though he had established a Blood Contract with it, its nature was still just as proud.

Having once been just a step away from reaching Overlord-tier at its peak, it definitely had the right to be proud, but this didn't mean that Gao Peng had to put up with its behavior.

A good man didn't talk about his past glory. However strong it had been in the past, it was still the past. Its attitude needed some refining. Gao Peng was looking for a familiar, not a spoiled brat.

The next day, the Desolate Frost Lion was sitting right outside Gao Peng's bedroom, looking at Gao Peng with puppy eyes after going hungry for a night. It was the first thing that Gao Peng saw once he opened the door. Who knew how long it had been sitting out there?

”Are you going to eat this kind of low-class food after all?”

The Desolate Frost Lion blinked but didn't answer.

”You must be the Wang Zejing of lions.”

”Huh?” The Desolate Frost Lion tilted its head. What Wang Zejing?

Gao Peng brought down the suitcase, opened it up, and placed it on the floor. The lion immediately lunged at it. Munch, munch…

After feeding the Desolate Frost Lion, Gao Peng suddenly felt a resentful gaze lock onto him from behind. He turned only to see Da Zi quietly staring at him from the wall. It was a long and meaningful gaze. Da Zi even nodded intermittently.

”Da Zi…”

”It's all right, you don't need to say anymore. I understand everything,” Da Zi waved its maxillipeds. ”You go ahead and feed your little lion.”

With that, Da Zi turned and left. A minute passed. Then two minutes. Then three…

Lying in another corner, Da Zi frowned. Why hasn't Gao Peng come?!

On the other hand, Gao Peng had left the villa and was headed for the lab. A new batch of monsters had just been transported over, and quite a few of the species were newly discovered monsters. Although Gao Peng rarely carried out experiments personally, new species of monsters attracted his interest.

It was just like how players of trading card games had a kind of ”collector's addiction.”

Arriving at the holding cells for the monsters, the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant. The floor beneath Gao Peng's feet was very clean, and it was very quiet, as well. His footsteps echoed through the walkway.

In the leftmost cell was a gold-colored frog the size of a watermelon. Its eyes were large like two light bulbs, and yellow stripes ran across its back, making it look like a large golden watermelon.

Gao Peng felt a sense of familiarity the moment he set his eyes on the creature. It felt as though he had seen this kind of frog somewhere before…

In the cell, the large golden frog was sitting right in the middle. Its cheeks were blown up, and its throat was emitting a low croaking sound. That was until Gao Peng's head appeared in the glass window. Suddenly, the large golden frog's eyes opened wide.

It opened its mouth, and a veritable waterfall of spit gushed out of its throat.

Bang!

The bulletproof glass shook violently, giving off a loud sound.

[Monster Name]: Golden Melon-Skinned Frog

[Monster Level]: Level 19

[Monster Grade]: Excellent-grade

[Monster Attribute]: Metal

[Monster Weakness]: 1. Fire-type 2. Abdominal region

[Monster Condition]: Healthy (Angry)

[Monster Description]: A rare variant of the Melon-Skinned Frog. Unlike its social counterparts, the Golden Melon-Skinned Frog prefers to live in solitude. But at the same time, it also inherited the bad habit of spitting at others. Because it does not live in groups, its survival rate is lower.

[Pathways for Promotion to Perfect Grade]: 1. Exploding Golden Melon Frog (Enrage evolution) 2. Golden Toad (Metal-type evolution). 3. Flaming Golden Toad (Fire-type evolution)

So it was a close relative of the Melon-Skinned Frog. It was no wonder that Gao Peng had felt like it looked familiar at first glance.

Continuing on, the second cell was empty. After pressing a red button on the side, a spray gun popped out from the ceiling of the cell and started spraying out large quantities of red powder.

Achoo.

The outline of a semi-transparent, lizard-like creature began to appear on the wall. The monster was over ten feet long. Its body color had completely blended in with the color of the wall behind it. The sneeze just now had revealed its presence.

[Monster Name]: Reclusive Illusion Lizard
