Chapter 610: Battleground

“It seems like it.” Xu Qingzhi’s eyes were filled with amazement.

“Well, only monsters above the Saint tier can destroy the maze. All monsters below Saint-tier will not be able to touch the maze, and the security of the Desolate Labyrinth will be greatly heightened,” Gao Peng said.

“Groom the familiars well. Although it’s tiring here, there are also opportunities. Currently, the Black Fog World has more resources than Earth Star. If one is lucky, one can grow faster,” Gao Peng said.

“I understand.”

“Then I’ll head back first.” Gao Peng received a message from his grandfather for him to return. Walking on the street, Gao Peng heard a parrot next to him growing angry.

A giant parrot that was as tall as a human was speaking to a girl in front of Gao Peng. “Rogue, rogue, I despise you.” It snorted and spat some phlegm at the girl.

The white-eared rabbit familiar next to the girl lifted its two ears and formed a faint silvery moonlight barrier to deflect the phlegm.

The giant parrot smiled and agilely shifted upwards to avoid its own phlegm.

Smack. The phlegm directly fell on the face of another person behind him. It was a young man in a suit, who wore an awkward but polite smile.

Just when the girl in the white dress was about to apologize, he lifted his hands. “I should be the one apologizing. I’m fine, it’s all right. I’m used to it.”

He then took out a large wet wipe from the space of a floating jellyfish and calmly wiped the cuffs of his shirt. He said to the parrot, “Jie Di, because you spat on the streets again, you get no dried fruit tonight.”

The parrot, known as Jie Di, widened its eyes and said in disbelief, “What?! How can you be so shameless? Weren’t you the one who told me to spit on this beautiful lady? You changed sides.”

The face of the man in the suit changed. He turned and saw the expression of the girl in the white dress. It was a look of surprise, anger, and contempt. She coldly turned and left.

“I thought you were a gentleman. I didn’t expect you to be a psycho!”

Upon seeing his owner’s angry eyes, the parrot innocently said, “Why are you looking at me? I’m just a little parrot.” When it was done speaking, it swaggered forward and suavely took a dragonfruit from a roadside stall that it walked past.

The suited man sheepishly followed, took out money from his wallet, and handed it to the stall owner.

…

Da Zi was summoned through the Spatial Rift. Earth Star’s current level limit had been opened up to the Overlord level, so most of Gao Peng’s familiars could be released from the familiar space.

“Grandpa, I’m back.” Gao Peng, who was sat atop his familiar, landed gently.

Da Zi landed by the lake. Gao Peng felt a strong and unfamiliar atmosphere from the villa and couldn’t help but change his expression. He was on high alert, ready to summon Goldie, Stripey, and Desolion. He was prepared to put up a fight.

Before entering the villa, Gao Peng could hear a ruckus in the villa. Pushing open the door, he saw that the dining room was filled with people. People in different outfits were strolling around the living and dining rooms.

Gao Peng didn’t react. He had never seen these people before but was certain from the way they were dressed and their manner of speech that they were from tribes.

“Little Peng.” Grandfather, who was sitting in the living room, noticed Gao Peng’s return. He had a hint of surprise on his face along with… awkwardness.

When Gao Peng looked over, he saw a silver-haired woman sitting next to his grandfather. She was wearing a white silk coat, her back straight and her eyes shifting constantly.

As the old woman sat there, no one else dared to venture too close. This showed that she was well-respected.

“This must be your grandson.” The old woman stood up and looked at Gao Peng. After careful observation, she said to Ji Hanwu, “He looks like you and also him.”

The old woman’s emotions were not telling.

“Grandfather, these people are…?” Gao Peng asked.

“I’m from the White Dragon Tribe.” The old woman appeared strong and hardy.

Gao Peng had a slight change in expression. The White Dragon Tribe… Naturally, he had heard of the White Dragon Tribe, as it was one of the top three tribes.

However, the members of the White Dragon Tribe rarely appeared in the outside world, and they seemed to be disinterested in competing for territory on Earth Star.

Gao Peng could probably guess the reason for that. Earth Star was only a small part of the Jiutian Shidi. Their real goal was the boundless Jiutian.

The Youhu Tribe had a much lower status than the seven major tribes. The Youhu Tribe had an Overlord-tier monster, so if he wasn’t incorrect, the seven tribes had a Saint-tier monster, and if one was bold enough to guess… The White Dragon Tribe could have had a Quasi God.

Of course, this was Gao Peng’s own guess. Whether it was true, only the White Dragon Tribe would know. But why would members of the White Dragon Tribe and the people of the Bailong Tribe suddenly come to Southern Sky to look for his grandfather?

“I came to look for an old friend.” The old woman smiled.

The only person who lived there, aside from himself, was his grandfather. Gao Peng didn’t know this old woman, so she was looking for his grandfather…

“I told you that I’m not him.” Grandfather sighed. “I merely inherited knowledge from his relics when the disaster occurred. The White Dragon was also found near the ruins. I think you have the wrong person.”

The old woman didn’t speak but looked at Grandfather quietly. “But you know, you’re really like him.”

“That’s nothing to be proud of. I’m myself. I’m not anybody else. I’m Ji Hanwu!” Grandpa’s white eyebrows rose like two snowy silver knives were inserted into his ears. Being a substitute for someone else wasn’t something to be proud of, even if that person was a legendary figure.

The old woman didn’t speak, but looked at the Ji Hanwu quietly for a while, then nodded. “Okay, you’re Ji Hanwu. I believe you.”

The old woman seemed to want to say more, but there were so many others around her that she eventually swallowed what she wanted to say.

“In six days, in the Squared World, there will be an alliance. This is also the world that my tribe is in. All medium-sized tribes and above will be participating. This meeting will determine many things, including attitudes towards Earth Star. I’m sure you know what happened in Jiutian Shidi. Although we don’t care about Earth Star, when war breaks out, Earth Star will inevitably become a bridgehead.”

It doesn’t sound like a great word. Gao Peng said, “Bridgehead?”

The old woman wasn’t angry at being interrupted. “Well, the people of those tribes would never allow the war to take place in the Squared World, where their base camps are, so… Earth Star would be the battlefield. At that time, they would launch a counter-offense and invade Jiutian Shidi.”

“Elder, I would like to know what happened that year.” Gao Peng requested with a frown. “So Jiutian Shidi are our enemies?”

The thought of this was worrying.

“That would be an exaggeration, but now the lead players of Jiutian Shidi don’t want us to return, so they’ll defend their ‘homes’ on an outside battlefield.” The old woman smiled faintly.
