Chapter 497 The White Dragon Tribe (1/2)
The man on the back of the Aquatic Dragon flinched in fear before he rubbed his eyes.
The crowd that was initially in the midst of discussion gradually quieted down as they turned around to stare at Stripey gravely.
”This is my grandson's familiar, Stripey. It's adorable and very obedient,” Ji Hanwu introduced it to the crowd.
Adorable? Haha. Furious, the crowd desperately wanted to cry their anger out. Yet they didn't even dare to scoff. Didn't we agree that only King-tier familiars were allowed at the ancestral grounds? What is this? What! Is! This!!!
”Grandpa, you're back.” Alongside Gao Peng, there was the Desolate Frost Lion, Dumby, the Dragon Slaying Chapter, and the subordinates of the King-tier Ghoul. They were welcoming Grandpa on the lawn.
Gao Peng was wearing a knitted brown-collared top with a fitted white windbreaker on the outside. On his legs, he wore straight cut dark blue jeans. With a gentle smile on his face, he appeared clean and tidy.
Bai Yin hopped down from the back of the Chalky Aquatic Dragon. In disbelief, he was stunned by Gao Peng's beauty.
”Roar,” warned the Chalky Aquatic Dragon as it glared hostilely at Dumby. In the meantime, it reminded its master through their Blood Contract, ”Master, this skeleton is very dangerous!”
The Chalky Aquatic Dragon squinted, and its pupils become as thin as needles. The scales on the Aquatic Dragon's body were leaning closely against each other with no gaps in between. Its sharp claws left scratches on the ground.
Bai Yin looked at Dumby with a frozen grin on his face after he heard his familiar.
It was wearing a black cape. With the hood hanging on his shoulders, its dark golden skeletal head was exposed. Its sharp humerus extended and formed the shape of a crown at the back of his head. A mysteriously white flame glared quietly within his orbit, perfectly demonstrating its ruthlessness. Despite not knowing the exact level and quality of the monster, one could easily deduce its fierceness by its appearance.
”I heard that the people at the ancestral ground were all Holy Individuals and are allowed to reserve familiars without any restriction. So, it's true…” an audience member said in envy.
”Why are we being treated unfairly? We can only reserve one familiar for each person and are only permitted to reserve a new familiar after our familiars die.”
”Yes, that's so unfair. I'm so envious that they can train so many familiars.”
”Do you think this is the reason why the ancestors have always wanted to return to the ancestral ground? Because we'll be given the chance to have more familiars at the ancestral ground?” another person asked abruptly.
They were talking loudly and thoughtlessly, as though they knew that Ji Hanwu couldn't understand their language.
They interacted with Ji Hanwu only via their familiars. Unlike humans, communication between the familiars was simpler, and there wasn't much difference between their languages. As they leveled up, familiars could basically understand all other familiars. This seemed to be a part of their survival instinct.
Gao Peng remained still. Despite the fact that he failed to comprehend a major part of the conversation, he was able to grasp a few keywords, like familiars, envious, and die.
As his soul was receiving more and more Feedback, Gao Peng noticed the growth of his memory and learning ability. He had always been a smart student, and it had never been a tough job for him to learn the ancient language. By now, he had learned approximately two hundred basic terms.
Puzzled, Gao Peng looked at the crowd behind his grandpa and asked, ”Grandpa, they are…?”
”They are the people of the ancient tribe,” Ji Hanwu answered. ”They're acting like psychopaths and won't leave me alone.” Ji Hanwu seemed to have more to say, but after some consideration, the words died in his mouth.
”You might not know about the ancient tribe. In fact, they were part of Earth Star, but they eventually left Earth Star. Now, they intend to return to Earth Star. They're a very strong tribe, and the ones who visited Earth Star now are a weaker group.”
