Chapter 162: Pork Ribs Soup

Why were there Lord tier monsters in the suburbs?

Everyone was frozen stiff. The driver could no longer hold the steering wheel firmly.

The familiars in the back of the truck shivered and hid in the corner of the container as if it would bring them a sense of security.

The familiars were more sensitive and perceptive than the monster trainers. With two Lord tier familiars so close to them, the deadly and threatening feeling almost made the familiars collapse.

It was a good thing the ground of the suburbs was flat; even if the driver failed to hold the steering wheel firmly, they weren’t likely to crash.

As the truck drove further away, the pressure that had laid heavy over the vehicle gradually disappeared. A solemn silence fell inside the truck after the driver regained control of himself.

Everyone kept quiet.

They suddenly felt that their earlier conversation was meaningless.

By the time Gao Peng and the others reached the villa, it was 7:30 in the evening, and the sky was already dark. In front of the villa stood several vertical lamp posts emanating white light. In the light, the blood stains on the female spider were visible.

The task Uncle Liu gave the Blood Eye Whisker Vulture was to guard the female spider and prevent it from healing its injuries.

So, the method that the Blood Eye Whisker Vulture used was to eat!

If the spider grew some tendons, then the vulture would eat some tendons. The Blood Eye Whisker Vulture was almost full. It lay lazily on the back of the female spider.

Of course, Gao Peng and the gang did not know any of that. To them, the female spider just seemed very fatigued. For insurance, Gao Peng checked the information of the female spider from 50 meters away.

On the condition bracket, it showed that the female spider was heavily injured (Mobility impaired).

The other attributes did not change much, and Gao Peng focused on the options of Grade promotion. After all, it was only a pseudo lord, so it was one step away from becoming a Lord tier monster.

On the grade promotion bracket, there was only one option. It meant that it only had one option when upgrading.

Gao Peng was a little disappointed. Perhaps this meant that it had lost a significant amount of potential, which was why its evolution path was lacking.

[Monster Name]: Horrifying Violent Female Spider (Pseudo Lord).

[Promotion to Lord]: Required ingredients: One jin of Perfect Stone, Earth Core, and Flowing Earth Marrow Serum.

He had heard of the Flowing Earth Marrow Serum before, but the other two ingredients were completely foreign to him! It seemed like getting them would be entirely dependent on luck.

Although he could identify the ingredients as long as they came into his field of vision, the problem was that the ingredients had to appear in his field of view.

What kind of person would know where to find such obscure ingredients?

If he could not find these ingredients, then this Horrifying Violent Spider’s level would forever be stuck at level 40.5, and its potential would be fixed to its current value. As time passed, its value would gradually decrease.

Regardless, it was still a pseudo lord, and apart from Lord tier monsters, it barely had any opponents.

“Uncle, do you want this female spider?” Gao Peng asked.

Although Uncle Liu had said that he would give the female spider to Gao Peng as a gift, Gao Peng still wanted to ask for his opinion.

“Why would I want a spider? It’s so d*mn ugly,” Uncle Liu said as he shook his head.

After he finished speaking, Uncle Liu noticed that Stripey was staring at him. Uncle Liu paused briefly and said to Stripey, “Of course I’m not talking about you, I’m talking about the female spider.”

Stripey: “…”

Stripey crawled back to the house in silence. It pushed open the door using its claws, walked in front of a floor mirror, and observed itself. Occasionally, it would use its claws to rub its face. In the end, it turned around and left, satisfied.

“Then I’ll give it to Grandpa as a gift.” Gao Peng scratched his head. If even Grandpa did not fancy it, then this female spider could only serve as a test subject. Or could it be stored as high-quality food?

In the evening, Gao Peng was busy cooking in the kitchen.

He opened the fridge. A lot of vegetables and meat were in there, but no bones. Da Zi crawled over childishly, raising its tail and head and staring at its master. Gao Peng noticed it and turned around, only to see Da Zi giving him a pitiful look.

“What’s wrong?”

“Eat, eat pork ribs!” Da Zi excitedly waved both its claws.

“There are no pork ribs left at home,” Gao Peng said helplessly.

“Eat. Eat!” Da Zi did not give up. It moved in circles anxiously, making it look just like a purple donut.

“How? Do you think I can create pork ribs out of thin air?!” Gao Peng said without any restraint.

Da Zi was a little sad. Both the antennas on its head drooped downwards weakly.

Suddenly, Da Zi thought of something. It sneakily glanced towards the unnoticing Dumby…

Da Zi’s action attracted the attention of Gao Peng. “What are you looking at?”

Gao Peng looked in the direction Da Zi was staring. His hand movements slowed as he saw Dumby seated on the sofa, watching TV without noticing anything. A blue flame floated and burned quietly in the empty skull.

After that, Gao Peng lowered his head and locked gazes with Da Zi. A man and a beast, weird emotion filling their eyes.

…

“Come here. Dumby, come here.” Gao Peng kept urging Dumby from the kitchen.

Dumby went to the kitchen as Gao Peng tricked it.

A huge pot was in the kitchen. Boiling water filled the pot, and in the water were onion, ginger, garlic, wolfberry, angelica, and various spices.

Is this something the master prepared for me? Dumby was slightly excited, even a little bit grateful. Although I am just a skeleton, and I cannot eat anything, the master still did not forget me!

“Dumby, come here. I’ll help you wash your hand.” Gao Peng called Dumby over to the sink. He rubbed Dumby’s bones gently to clean off the dirt on them. The grey and silver bones seemed to be shining.

Dumby watched the scene unfold in silence. Warmth filled its heart. Although its bones were cold and its soul flame did not have any heat, its mind burned fiercely.

Master looks so cool when he’s serious!

Dumby swore in its heart, Master, I will definitely protect… Eh? Master, why are you pulling me?

Dumby did not understand why it was tugged over to the side of the pot.

“Dumby, come here and test the temperature of the water,” Gao Peng said to Dumby.

Dumby nodded and put both its hands inside the pot without any hesitation. At the same time, Gao Peng observed Dumby anxiously; if Dumby showed any sign of not adapting, he would immediately lift Dumby’s hands.

However, it looked like the temperature at this level was nothing to Dumby, and Dumby did not express any discomfort. On the contrary, it seemed to think the experience was interesting.

As time passed, the soup in the pot gradually began to give off a pleasant fragrance.

Da Zi raised its head excitedly, shaking its head in joy.

After half an hour, the pot of soup was finally ready.

In the living room, Da Zi licked the soup happily while Dumby stood quietly in the corner and leaned on the wall. They… As long as they like it.

It was also very happy that it could contribute to something that they liked. The soul flame in Dumby’s eye sockets became peaceful and tranquil.

The next day, Gao Peng only woke up when the sun shone high in the sky. He left the villa and locked the main villa door. The familiars carried big and small bags on their backs. They turned around and looked once more at the villa.

Gao Peng sighed a long sigh and felt an odd melancholy. “Let’s depart. Onwards to Yuzhou!”
