It was a level 48 Lord tier monster.

Gao Peng felt extremely troubled. According to grandpa, there was more than one Mountain Spirit near Yuzhou City. Gao Peng thought about the size of Yuzhou and thought about how little of the land they could actually investigate.

Yuzhou was a place with thousands of mountains...

What troubled Gao Peng more was that he hadn’t seen this mountain’s features at all before.

He was only able to see them now, which caused Gao Peng to doubt his ability.

After some thinking, Gao Peng arrived at this conclusion. It could have been that when he saw the Mountain Spirit, it was only at the beginning stages of its growth and hadn’t completed its growth yet.

Flipping through the photos, he saw other photos of Mountain Spirits taken from different angles, but their sizes were smaller than the previous one. They also had lower levels than the first Mountain Spirit.

Gao Peng switched off his phone and continued to listen to the lecture.

The guy sitting next to Gao Peng felt curious. He used the tip of his pen to point at Gao Peng’s elbow and asked, “Brother, the mountain you were looking at looks nice. Where is that?”

Gao Peng wasn’t sure if the news about the Mountain Spirits was being censored, so he was reluctant to reveal anything. He answered by giving him a vague response.

Seemingly realizing Gao Peng’s reluctance, the young man continued to poke Gao Peng’s arm with the tip of his pen. “Don’t be so stingy. I like photography. I usually take photos of monsters and familiars, and I think that’s a good location. I’m preparing to go there to take two sets of photos for my familiar.

Going on top of the Mountain Spirit to take photos?

Gao Peng gave the young man an odd look and smiled. “You’ll see this on the news soon. If you still wish to go, then you can.”

The young man was thoroughly confused.

After the lesson, Gao Peng put all his books into his messenger bag and left the class along with the crowd.

Gao Peng overheard two people who were engaged in a conversation. “Dengli, how was the effect of the Bloody Butcher Drug you bought the other day? Did your Black Raging Kong evolve?”

“That drug is fantastic. My Black Raging Kong went through a lot of changes after taking it. Apart from the color changing to blood red, its strength also increased a great deal. The only downside is that its temper became worse. It disobeyed me a few times in these few days alone. Sigh. Nobody is certain when the next series of drugs will be released.”

There was a wide empty space some distance away from the back of the lecture hall. Many familiars stood there. As they had been commanded by their masters, they lay on the ground quietly. Occasionally, some curious familiars would move and crawl around, sniffing at other familiars nearby.

Stripey laid quietly where it was resting, waiting for its master to come to fetch it. Stripey was now bigger than a tank. Its black-brown body seemingly devoured the sunshine around it. It crossed his legs at the front of its head and formed a shield that blocked its head. Its gigantic body slowly undulated as it breathed. Stripey’s species, the Earth Shield Spider, was still unknown to humans. It was considered a new kind of undiscovered monster.

Everyone knew Stripey wasn’t to be messed with just by looking at its external appearance. Its slim and black legs were like sharp spears on the ground. Barbs were hanging out at its joints. Its thick armor had caused it to lose some of its flexibility, but that was offset by its increased defense statistics. It gave off a powerful aura. No familiar would dare to go within fifteen feet of it.

Gao Peng moved closer, and Stripey remained in its position like a statue. When Gao Peng moved even closer, he could hear slight grunts coming from behind the shield...

This lazy bum has fallen asleep! Gao Peng slapped Stripey’s shield-like front limbs while laughing. “My class finished. Stop sleeping.”

Stripey quivered and moved its front limbs away gradually. Its blood red eyes hadn’t opened fully. It was obviously not fully awake. It rolled its eyeballs slowly and realized that its master was standing right in front of it.

Happily, it moved forward two steps, its head continuously rubbing against Gao Peng’s body. It was just like a child who hugged their parents to act cute.

“All right, all right, stop trying to act cute. You’re already such a big spider, don’t you care about people laughing at you if you try to act cute?” Gao Peng lightly stroked Stripey’s big head.

“Does this spider belong to you?” A curious inquiry came from the side.

Gao Peng turned his head and saw a young girl with a ponytail. She was clad in a red floral skirt and sizing up Stripey.

“Yes, it’s mine,” Gao Peng replied. “What’s the matter?”

“Is this a male or female spider?” the young girl asked hesitantly.

“Oh...” I don’t know how to answer this question.

Suddenly, Gao Peng seemed unable to reply. It was because he wasn’t sure whether Stripey was a male or a female. But since it was so timid, it must have been a male spider, because a female spider usually had a more violent character than males.

After giving it some thought, Gao Peng smiled. “Why don’t you guess?”

The young girl was a bit annoyed. Why is this person talking like this?

“My familiar, Pearl, is a female White Wolf Spider. She recently... went into heat. If yours is a male spider...” the young girl’s voice grew softer and softer. It was somewhat inappropriate for a young girl to say such things.

“I’m sorry, I apologize for what I said just now. It’s because I’m also not clear on the gender of my familiar. I normally don’t pay attention to these things.” When Gao Peng finished speaking, he conveyed the girl’s remarks to Stripey through the Blood Contract.

Once Stripey heard, his eyes lit up like light bulbs. When he finished listening to Gao Peng speak, Stripey began shouting wildly. “I’m a male! I’m a male!”

He gripped Gao Peng tightly with his front limbs, all eight eyes looking at Gao Peng pitifully and pathetically. “Master, master, please tell her that I’m a male.”

“Really? Why can’t I entirely believe this?” He wanted to tease Stripey. He pretended not to believe him.

“Let me show you.” After he finished speaking, Stripey laid down on the ground to prove himself. When Gao Peng saw Stripey lifting up his butt, he gave him a kick. “Stop messing around. I have the final say.”

After the girl finished listening to Gao Peng talk, she pointed to a big white spider in the distance and said with a sense of great burden, “That’s Pearl.”

Gao Peng looked over. About 65 feet away stood a big white spider that was about thirteen feet in diameter and seven feet tall. There was white hair on her neck and back. Her blue eyes were full of warmth, and her feet were very smooth and round. She didn’t give off the fierceness that was normal of a spider. Rather, she had an unusual beauty about her.

When Stripey saw this female spider, he couldn’t take his eyes off her. “Gao Peng, I think I’m in love.”

Gao Peng chatted with the girl a while more while they scheduled their next meeting. Gao Peng had to drag Stripey away in the end. “Stop embarrassing us. She only wants your body, but you’re already in love.”

“She definitely likes me,” Stripey said loudly.

“That’s just wishful thinking on your part,” Gao Peng said calmly.

“That’s why you’re still single,” Stripey retorted.

The atmosphere suddenly took a turn for the worse. Gao Peng had been walking at the front, but he suddenly stopped. He turned his head around and there was a twisted smile on his face. When Stripey saw this, his blood ran cold.
