Chapter 423 Yellow-Browed Monster Penguins (2/2)
Their beaks were yellow, wide and thick. They had fierce looks in their eyes, and their hair danced about wildly in the wind. From Gao Peng's point of view, they looked like a bunch of hooligans trying to revive punk.
Gao Peng had read about these creatures in various monster compendiums. Before the Cataclysm, they were called rockhopper penguins. They were the punk rockers of penguins.
Upon evolving into Yellow-browed Monster Penguins, they now seemed to have embraced their punk side even more so than before.
[Monster Name]: Yellow-Browed Monster Penguins
[Monster Tier]: Level 18
[Monster Grade]: Normal
[Monster Attribute]: Water
[Monster Description]: In comparison to other penguin-typed monsters of the same monster tier, the Yellow-browed Monster Penguin has proven itself to be the strongest. It has a rowdy personality, always making sure that everyone knows that it's the coolest penguin in town.
A group of these penguins was just standing around like a bunch of thugs. Necks... None of them had any.
They stretched out their dumpy little heads. The yellow hair on their scalps suddenly stood up, sharp like spears. Their gaits were flamboyant. Gao Peng thought he was looking at Desolion's shadow.
The Yellow-Browed Monster Penguins waddled up to Gao Peng and company like a bunch of confused teenagers, surrounding them completely. The Yellow-Browed Monster Penguin leading the group had hair that was almost touching Gao Peng's face. Its head was slightly slanted, its eyes staring straight at Gao Peng. There was a wild look on its face. All that was missing was the customary sleeve-rolling and growling, ”I'm going to beat you up today, you prissy-looking b*stard,” at Gao Peng. With this, the penguin would have completed the stereotypical street thug image.
The White Steel Bladed Beast tensed. It furtively unsheathed its bladed appendages...
Gao Peng pressed a hand against its head, indicating that there was no need to start a fight. Yet. In truth, even without his familiars, thanks to his current physical condition, he could probably beat up these Yellow-Browed Monster Penguins on his own.
Seeing that Gao Peng wasn't the least bit intimidated by them and that he still remained quite calm, the penguin at the front of the group narrowed its eyes at them. Then... it silently backed away.
Its bulky body merged into the mass of penguins behind it, where it continued observing Gao Peng and his familiars.
In a corner, one of the Yellow-Browed Monster Penguins couldn't take it any longer. This was their turf. Every monster in the area knew this, and still, this bipedal weirdo decided to just barge in like he owned the bloody place. I'm going to put the fear of God into this man if it's the last thing I do!
It came at Gao Peng and swung out its wing, which was intercepted by Flamy. The penguins let out an outraged noise when they saw a monster of the same species as them, but of a much higher level, defend the bipedal outsider.
”Traitor!”
”Enemy of all penguins!”
”The eighties called, they want their red feathers back!”
”We have a traitor in our midst!”
The Yellow-Browed Penguins began screeching nonstop.
Flamy's face darkened. Who the hell are you calling a penguin?
It then opened its beak and let loose a ball of fire that struck some of the penguins closest to it. They began squawking and running around in circles while trying to put out their burning backsides with their wings. I'm Gao Peng's skinniest familiar! That's what he told me personally, so it must be true! thought Flamy.
It flapped its wings powerfully, whipping up a gust of wind that sent fragments of ice on the ground twirling chaotically in the air.
In the face of such a spectacle, the Yellow-Browed Monster Penguins didn't show a trace of fear on their faces. They began huddling up before surging towards Flamy as one single body.
A ring of fire spread out from Flamy's body as it flapped its wings once more. The flames then exploded into a million fiery fragments.
Boom!
Flamy's ring of fire exploded across the North Pole's frozen ground.
The resulting blast wave sent the penguins closest to Flamy flying away, while also causing their bodies to catch fire.
Upon seeing this, the Yellow-Browed Monster Penguins at the back halted their advance. Then, looking at each other, they bolted in the opposite direction as quickly as their stumpy little legs could carry them.
