Chapter 676 Mingguang Mirror (1/2)

Gao Peng kept himself busy the entire journey. Every night, he talked at length with Dumby and helped Dumby distill the snow-white finger, which gave off a cold sheen.

Taking these foreign bones into its own body didn't affect Dumby at all. Its unique physique allowed it to merge freely with other skeletons. It then turned those skeletons into its own bones in order to completely absorb their nutrients. Of course, this wasn't a skill unique to Dumby. Many Bone-type monsters could speed up their evolution using this method.

This also proved how important a good corpse is. Life was a competition. Even in death, beings competed through bone quality.

Dumby finally managed to integrate the god's fingerbone. Its other body parts couldn't withstand the power of it, only its deified fingers barely able to handle it.

One week later, Gao Peng arrived at Rock City along with the xix. Before he even caught sight of it, Gao Peng sensed a grave aura. It permeated the air; every now and then, soldiers on patrol were visible.

Gao Peng saw a dozen soldiers guarding the city gate. ”Who are you?”

”We need to check you.”

”Come, take off your hat.”

The soldiers were all very aggressive. Perhaps because they'd been on duty for so long, they were all ill-tempered. Some were even explosive.

On the left hovered a mirror-like familiar. It had a cloud of white mist carrying it from beneath. The mirror glinted each time it passed over someone. Almost everyone made it through the city gates without trouble. Before entering, everyone had to be hovered over on by this familiar, whether they were entering or exiting the city.

In the line of people exiting on the left, a person wearing a cloak quietly left the crowd after they noticed this mirror familiar.

”Halt!” Two hidden soldiers suddenly commanded their familiars to attack. They attacked with a roar.

Growl! The cloaked person's familiar was subdued before it could even react. The cloaked person was also captured. The mirror familiar shined over them, then a wisp of green mist floated above their head.

The commander of the gate security came out to pacify the crowd. ”This is a surviving supporter of the Douwen Sect. Don't be afraid.”

”No, I'm not!” The person's cloak was removed to show a green girl with purple hair. She yelled frantically, ”I just happen to have a Poison-type familiar, but I'm not part of the Douwen Sect. Let me go.”

”Hmph, we can't know if you're a survivor until we inspect you. If you're not a survivor of Douwen Sect, why did you try to flee?” The gate commander scoffed.

”I realized I had forgotten something at home, so I was going to get it,” said the girl.

”Take her away!” The commander didn't want to listen to her explanations.

Everyone watched this numbly. No one came out to stand up for her.

”What is that familiar? It looks strong,” Qing Qing exclaimed.

Gao Peng glanced at it.
