Chapter 536 Black Child (2/2)
”I will call you Dark Child!”
Dark Child was speechless. ”No, what kind of person—”
”Good name!” Goldie slapped the top of the altar. ”I thought Gao Peng would call you Darky. I didn't expect him to give you such a nice-sounding name!” Goldie continuously slapped the altar, causing it to creak incessantly.
Dark Child was dumbfounded. ”Whatever makes you happy.” Dark Child was too lazy to bother. What was in a name? Once upon a time, it'd had many names, so one more 'Dark Child' didn't make a difference.
All these names would eventually disappear in the long river of time. In a million years, ten million years, one hundred million years, or even longer, when the sea dried, when the mountain became a valley, even one's memory over an eternity would be blurred out.
A name, a title, a code name; who would remember?
Gao Peng's finger jabbed Dark Child's forehead, and Dark Child lost its balance, its butt landing on the altar. ”Why are you daydreaming? Quickly, get to work,” Gao Peng reprimanded.
Any thoughts of the river of time and eternity became a bubble burst by Gao Peng's finger. Dark Child glared at Gao Peng. It had been reminiscing but lost its train of thought. But it was too lazy to haggle with Gao Peng.
Once Dark Child started work, Gao Peng began to clean up Stripey's wound. Gao Peng hadn't had the chance to clean up the wound when the battle was still going on fiercely.
None of the monsters within the familiar space were injured. Stripey and Dumby were the only ones injured.
Between the two, Stripey's injury was more severe. Its original height of 2,600 feet was shortened by two layers, and he was left with 2,000 feet. At the same time, the surface of its body was covered with big and small potholes. There were several cracks that almost broke its body. As a King-tier monster, Stripey was proud to be part of this intense battle.
In battle, Stripey's size was a great advantage. Even though a large size had many inconveniences, nonetheless, the pros outweighed the cons overall. However, it would have been great to be able to flexibly change its size in battle.
Even though Xiao Cao had healing properties, its tier was too low, and Stripey didn't need it to heal its wound. Stripey walked a distance away from the sea, placed its butt on the ground, retracted its claws, closed its eyes, and started to sleep by the shore.
As Stripey slept, the potholes in its body began to heal.
Gao Peng felt the earth under his feet shake continuously. The earth cracked, and a steady stream of stone flowed from the depths of the earth into Stripey's body. These stones blended quickly into Stripey's body and hardened into a piece of stone armor.
At the other end, the Amorphic Hell Tree that was revived by Dumby and a few other King-tier ghouls knelt before Dumby. The cracking sound of bones was heard. From the cracks of the bones, a large number of Soul Flames seeped out and gathered, then entered Dumby's body.
As the Soul Flame engulfed Dumby, its bones also gradually began to heal.
With regards to healing wounds, it was similar to the Chinese Idiom about the eight immortals who were supposed to cross the sea. Each of them had their magic to cross the sea.
On the other side, Da Zi and Gao Peng, who had just been reunited, embraced each other and chatted. Gao Peng asked Dai Zi the details about its disappearance and its whereabouts for the past six months.
Da Zi didn't conceal anything and shared all the details with Gao Peng.
After hearing Dai Zi out, Gao Peng understood that Da Zi had gone through two different worlds. From Da Zi's indignant tone, he felt that Da Zi might have been kicked out, but this fool was unaware and thought that there had been a monster attacking it from behind.
Da Zi's experience was so coincidental that it seemed as though there was an invisible hand manipulating everything.
