Chapter 468 Journey to the East - Nihon (2/2)
Gao Peng was speechless. ”Didn't I just pass you ten bottles of fruit juice? Let me tell you what; you just keep five bottles for yourself and return the rest to me. Don't even try hiding any extra bottles.”
Silly was at a loss, confused. It sat on Gao Peng's head and kept quiet, pretending as if it hadn't asked anything.
Gao Peng had locked Silly in the room before because Silly had been evolving too slowly. It wasn't because of the traits of the species, but because it was simply too lazy. Silly and lazy—that was definitely a way to refer to Silly.
Gao Peng had no words to describe this lazy jellyfish. No matter how much Da Zi slacked off, it was still very keen and had the desire to grow stronger… Hmm, well, Da Zi did slack off occasionally, but that was still acceptable to Gao Peng.
But Silly was different! Silly was lazy every single day and hardly ever training. Gao Peng thought he had picked the wrong name for Silly. It shouldn't have been called Silly, but Lazy instead. See how the name matched this creature!
”Lazy, get me my blanket...” Gao Peng had a slip of the tongue.
Silly was furious. ”You even called me by the wrong name. I'm Silly. I'm not lazy!”
Gao Peng laughed. ”Yeah, you aren't lazy. You're just a little silly.”
Silly angrily grabbed a blanket from its portable space and threw it at Gao Peng's face. ”Here.”
Gao Peng placed the blanket on his legs and raised the windshield, blocking the icy gust of wind blowing at him. Rushes of wind and clear skies accompanied them throughout their journey. When exhaustion hit, they would land and rest for a moment. However, ghouls weren't troubled by fatigue. Thus, most of the time they would stay on the back of the ghouls.
There were eight ghouls that could fly. Those who could become Lord-tier flying ghouls had been huge when they were alive, so it was possible to fly this group of ghouls around.
They continued their journey to the east. After flying for two weeks, Gao Peng saw the ocean. Another four days brought them across the ocean, and they arrived at a whole new continent. This was the Nihon district.
The beaches were rows of reefs, and the jet-black sea was ferocious. The steep cliffs were covered with numerous white conch monsters that looked like a bunch of tumors growing off the cliff from a distance.
”Master, there are people down there. Should we capture two of them to show us the way?” Dumby spoke unexpectedly.
Keeping Dumby's reminder in mind, Gao Peng removed his eye mask and turned to peek. On the crack of the cliff, two adults in fisherman attire were hiding in plain sight. They were frightened as they sneakily observed the group of ghouls that was flying toward them.
Gao Peng was deep in thought. It would be more productive to get a local from the Nihon district to guide him instead of struggling around to find the way on his own. Moreover, it was better to take control of these people first to avoid disclosing their whereabouts.
They landed in an instant. The landing of the group of skeletal beasts that was shrouded in a dark aura brought about panic. The local fishermen that were hiding in the crack were shuddering in fear, more terrified than ever.
”Come out.” Dumby transmitted his voice through a Soul Wave into the mind of the fishermen.
The fishermen were dumbfounded for a moment. They looked around, trying to find the origin of the voice. However, there was no one else except the skeletons standing outside the crack. After confirming again, the fishermen shakily came out of the crack.
”At your service, my lord,” said the fishermen as they kneeled on the ground.
