Chapter 473 Fall (2/2)
”We've been ordered by the chief to simply scout the area. We aren't allowed to stray too far from our mission,” said Tong Ying, stepping in front of Tong Mo.
Tong Mo narrowed his eyes at him. ”He's my father, not yours. Now get the hell out of my way.”
Tong Ying hesitated.
”We're just going over there to take a look. We'll stick close to each other so that we won't be picked off by the natives. We'll be fine as long as we have each other's backs,” said Tong Xiang, smiling.
...
Gao Peng saw a streak of black lightning fall from the heavens on the monitor bank. Immediately after, the screens went completely dead. Gao Peng frowned.
”I didn't get a good look at whatever that was.” He couldn't check out a familiar's stat sheet if the only thing he was able to catch was a mere glimpse of it.
Judging by the impact and speed of that bolt of lightning, it's probably King-tier at best, thought Gao Peng. Thank God it's not beyond the boundaries of King-tier. Dumby had temporarily dropped to Legendary-grade as a result of its rise in monster tier. However, its highest attainable grade was still Mythical.
The only difference distinguishing Dumby from other high-level Legendary-grade monsters was that the former was endowed with one extra monster trait. In other words, Dumby was much stronger than other Legendary-grade monsters of the same tier. Unless, of course, its opponent had dropped from Mythical-grade to Legendary-grade as well...
Bzzzt! The screen before Gao Peng suddenly buzzed to life. A low voice said, ”Gao-kun, they're heading towards the Higashida base city.”
Four familiars were displayed on the screen.
[Monster Name]: One-Eyed Giant Demon
[Monster Level]: Level 58
[Monster Grade]: Epic
---
[Monster Name]: Black Lightning Eagle
[Monster Level]: Level 57
[Monster Grade]: Perfect
---
[Monster Name]: Golden Light Holy Spirit Beast
[Monster Level]: Level 58
[Monster Grade]: Epic
---
[Monster Name]: Six-Tusked Brahman Elephant
[Monster Level]: Level 59
[Monster Grade]: Epic
There were four of them: three Epic-grade familiars and one Perfect-grade. Their levels were all King-tier.
Gao Peng sighed in relief. There were no signs of a Legendary-grade familiar. Any sensible person would send their strongest warriors to scout an uncharted area, lest the natives attack. This meant that Legendary-grade familiars were a rarity on the other side of the rift, too.
Also, their group wasn't composed entirely of Epic-grade familiars. The Black Lightning Eagle was a Perfect-grade familiar that seemed suited for reconnaissance missions. None of the other Epic-grade familiars seemed capable of flight.
Gao Peng was relieved by this. I might have a chance against these people.
There was a monster tier cap in place in their world right then. Anything above King-tier wouldn't be able to cross over the rift. As soon as there was room for Emperor-tier familiars on this planet, his own familiars would naturally fill that space.
In a confrontation between two familiars of the same monster tier, the only factor determining the outcome would be their monster grades. So...
