“What are you trying to do?” Gao Peng laughed accidentally.

All the familiars were all very young. If they were humans, they would be adolescents. Gao Peng saw them as his own children, all little monsters that were under his care.

“That was a fair match. The person who defeated Zheng Xiao was indeed stronger than Zheng Xiao. Unless they fixed the winner, he didn’t do anything wrong,” Gao Peng explained to Goldie patiently.

Goldie was going through puberty. It was at this time that it would shape its personality for life. Gao Peng didn’t want Goldie to develop an evil personality.

“Quack?” Goldie looked at Gao Peng, feeling extremely wronged. “But I lost all of them. I lost all of my duck treats.”

“There, there. Even though you lost all of them, as long as you train hard, you’ll have all the duck treats you want. I can guarantee that you will even be able to eat the tastiest duck treats in the world.”

Goldie glanced over at Gao Peng, and their eyes met. It trusted Gao Peng’s promise. But it still felt like it had been wronged…

However, since Gao Peng had already said what he had, it needed to show respect to Gao Peng, who was the pettiest person Goldie knew. Goldie knew that if it had been Gao Peng who had lost the bet, he wouldn’t have been able to let it go so easily.

Goldie had spent enough time with Gao Peng to know his personality.

Gao Peng may have looked to be very amiable on the surface, but he was actually extremely spiteful! If someone wronged him, he couldn’t sleep properly at night!

Gao Peng took out a stool and sat beside Goldie to keep educating him. “You need to be a more generous duck. A strong and powerful being needs to be generous.”

Gao Peng only stopped when he got tired. He licked his dry lips with his tongue, feeling thirsty.

He looked at Goldie and saw it was already getting impatient. Forget it. I’ll just stop here. He won’t understand if I say too much anyway.

Gao Peng shook his head, picked up the stool, and left the training grounds. “Young ducks nowadays have no patience.”

The next day, Gao Peng was assigned to be the referee for one of the final battles in the competition, but he rejected the position.

There’s no friggin’ way I’m going to be the referee for such an important match.

There are already a lot of people on the internet accusing me of being against Zhang Yi. If he loses this battle, people will definitely be throwing more sh*t my way.

Excusing himself from the heavy role of being the referee, Gao Peng went and sat at the VIP seats and gave all his attention to the competition.

“You actually personally came to watch the competition,” said a bespectacled young man who was sitting next to Gao Peng and laughing.

Gao Peng glanced over at him. What that person had said was extremely dumb, like if someone in the bathroom had said, “Oh, you actually came personally to the bathroom.”

“Yeah, just trying to learn about the view of the public,” said Gao Peng as he dully nodded without even breaking his gaze at the big screen.

The young man was left in a bit of a daze.

The two gates on both sides of the battleground lifted up, and out came two teams of familiars.

A Fire Hound was leading the team on the right side. It was flanked on either side by a wild boar with golden teeth and a Blackthorn Opium Poppy. The Blackthorn Opium Poppy was crawling on the ground.

The other team was led by a giant Sea Dragon. The Sea Dragon crawled out through the gate, stood up, and looked at the Fire Hound.

Behind the Sea Dragon were two yellow otters. Both otters looked exactly the same.

Only the Blackthorn Opium Poppy was unique. The other familiars were all very normal. The Blackthorn Opium Poppy could emit a type of gas, and any creature that inhaled this gas would go into a hyperactive state and lose their sense of pain.

This was how the Blackthorn Opium Poppy hunted for its prey in the wild. It would get close to its target and start to emit the colorless, odorless gas. The prey would become overly excited and lose their sense of pain.

The plant would then use its long spiky vines to wrap around its prey before killing it.

However, it sounded much scarier than it actually was. In actuality, the Blackthorn Opium Poppy wasn’t very strong.

Compared to monsters that were at the same level, it didn’t have many advantages, not in terms of physical strength or hit points. Perhaps the only advantage it had was its poisonous gas.

In the last few battles, the Fire Hound had used the effects of the gas to lose its sense of pain and get its opponents into a hyperactive state. It was filled with fighting spirit and able to use the poppy’s ability to its advantage.

In a sense, the Blackthorn Opium Poppy did make for a good supporting monster.

The biggest concern was whether or not the other monsters would become addicted to the Blackthorn Opium Poppy’s gas.

If they did become addicted and the Blackthorn Opium Poppy suddenly died… It would become a big problem.

The Blackthorn Opium Poppy stood at the back of the battleground. Its vines, which were full of poppy seeds, started to spread out.

When the refereed announced the start of the match, the seeds suddenly started to bloom. Large volumes of pollen could be seen in the air.

Immediately after the pollen spread, the Fire Hound sneezed excitedly. Before, its eyes had looked a bit tired, but now, they were open and shining brightly. It opened its mouth, revealing all of its sharp fangs.

A golden, golden-toothed wild boar started to growl and stomped its hooves onto the ground. The ground was very hard, so it actually hurt its hooves, yet the pain started to slowly fade away as its sense of pain also started to disappear.

It suddenly roared to the sky, then lowered its head, pointed its sharp tusks forward, and rushed out like a tank!

The Fire Hound went behind the Golden Back Wild Boar and followed behind.

The two Earthen River Otters stood up, lifted up their claws, and used them to smash the ground.

The white jade basalt on the ground emitted a yellow gas, making the arena look like a sandstorm.

The yellow gas carried the smell of dirt with it and started to slowly condense. In the end, it formed a half-transparent khaki colored wall.

The Golden Back Wild Boar wasn’t frightened by this, so it rushed toward it bravely.

The wall shook violently. The spot the Golden Back Wild Boar had rammed had been dented, with cracks all over the dent. There was also a single cracked line that went up to the uppermost part of the wall.

Daisy calmed herself. Thankfully, the white jade basalt was very hard, which meant that the wall that had been created by the otters was also very sturdy. Otherwise, the wall would have been broken by the Golden Back Wild Boar.
