Chapter 428 The Six-Horned Dreadwolf (2/2)

”This is our store's main attraction. It's a Six-Horned Dreadwolf, a versatile familiar specialized in skirmishes and tracking. But why take my word for it? A simple introduction from me wouldn't do this magnificent specimen justice, which is why I'm going to let it speak for itself,” said Huang Ya. A couple of Arctic onlookers nodded, ready to be dazzled by the Six-Horned Dreadwolf.

”Gao, is this the monster you're going to sell here? It looks strong, but is it a match for the Icefall Bear?” asked Bunshaft skeptically. Not only had he brought along a couple of friends to liven up the place, as promised, he had also called a few major TV stations and reporters over to report the whole event.

”See for yourself,” said Gao Peng confidently. He was more than aware of the combat power of all the familiars that he had raised himself. If it wasn't for the fact that he was trying to break into the Arctic familiar market, he wouldn't even be out here advertising the Six-Horned Dreadwolf to the Arctic public.

As a monster raised personally by Gao Peng, the Six-Horned Dreadwolf ranked 17th among all the Commander-tier monsters in the Southern Sky Group's supply chain.

The Southern Sky Group's familiar supply chain ranking was carried out in accordance with a monster's score, which was given by Gao Peng based on the versatility of its abilities. These monsters were ranked not only in terms of combat power, but by their overall value as well.

For instance, a monster might not be specialized in one-on-one combat, but its proficiency in other areas such as stealth and reconnaissance would still be able to add a few more points to its score.

A ranking system based on a monster's strengths and abilities would be pointless, as it could bring about the awkward situation of a monster ranked number one being beaten by another monster ranked at number ten due to the former's elemental attribute being weaker against the latter's.

Not only was the Six-Horned Dreadwolf proficient in one-on-one combat, but it was also capable of healing itself by drinking the blood of others. It also had an extraordinary sense of smell. It was especially sensitive to fresh blood, making it the perfect hunting companion for tracking down prey in the wild. A trainer wouldn't have to worry about losing their quarry in the vast wilderness of the Arctic region with the Six-Horned Dreadwolf by their side

Roar!!! The Six-Horned Dreadwolf was now exchanging blows with the Icefall Bear. It deftly avoided a swipe from the bear. Thanks to its slender shape, it was able to form a couple of slashes on the Icefall Bear's body with its terrible claws.

Its claws tore through the bear's helmet. Its armor proved useless in the face of the Six-Horned Dreadwolf's relentless onslaught. Frenzied by the smell of fresh blood hanging in the air, the Six-Horned Dreadwolf was now moving and attacking the Icefall Bear even faster than before. Finally, it leaped forward and sank its claws into the Icefall Bear, which fell to the ground with a clatter.

”Look at how sharp its claws are. I saw them slice through the bear's alloy armor like it was made of paper.”

”Its movements are incredibly agile, as well. The Icefall Bear couldn't even land a direct hit on its opponent. The aftershock of its Ice-type attacks barely touched it.”

Everyone was impressed by the show that the Six-Horned Dreadwolf had put on. Standing among the crowd of spectators outside Gao Peng's familiar shop were a couple of scouts from the base city's major monster hunter associations.

They had all been invited by Bunshaft. Of course, said associations had sent their lower-ranking members to check out the store out of respect for Bunshaft.

These scouts had trained their senses to be keener than the average trainer.

Bunshaft's companions were members of the elite households in the region. They were just as impressed by the Six-Horned Dreadwolf as everyone else. ”Bunshaft, I hear you're good friends with this Gao person here. Could you introduce us to him later?”

”Gao may be a bit busy today. Why don't we check in on him later, when his schedule frees up a bit?” said Bunshaft, smiling. He then turned to look at Gao Peng.

Bunshaft was no fool. Even though his brother was the one who handled the family's affairs, this didn't mean that he was ignorant of everything else outside of familiar training.

Everyone seemed to have vastly different opinions about the Six-Horned Dreadwolf. However, this didn't concern Gao Peng.

He only knew that the Six-Horned Dreadwolf could be brought to its full potential in the Arctic region. The only thing left to do was to gauge the Arctic public's reception of the Six-Horned Dreadwolf. If demand for it far surpassed its supply in the next few days, this would mean that his business venture in the Arctic region was a success. At that point, Gao Peng no longer needed to oversee the subsequent steps of his business strategy. His men were more than capable of taking things from there.
