Xu Qingzhi twisted her mouth with displeasure when she recalled how coldly Gao Peng had treated her just before . She could not have cared any less about him right then .
The tumultuous noise continued for more than ten minutes . Finally, silence once again fell upon the laboratory .
Xu Qingzhi simply waited outside with a paper cup in her hand . She had already drank three cups of water .
Hope everything's all right inside, thought Qingzhi .
The laboratory's spotless white doors were pushed open, and Gao Peng stepped out of the room in a flowing white robe . He then sat down on the sofa and said, "Pour me a cup of water, thanks . "
"Oh," said Xu Qingzhi . She poured a cup of water from the water dispenser and handed it to him .
After, she sensed that something wasn't quite right with this picture . I'm your assistant, not your maid! she thought angrily .
"Is the evolution process complete?" asked Xu Qingzhi cautiously .
"Not quite, we'll still need a few more hours," replied Gao Peng . Upon seeing Xu Qingzhi's bored expression, he said, "If you have nothing else to do, you could help me tidy up the freezing chamber . "
. . .
In the Monster Slaughterhouse, all the monster corpses that the Southern Sky Group wanted taken care of were handled .
Every day, lots of monster corpses were processed here . All the meat, blood, and other valuable materials that could be harvested from them were transferred to other processing plants for further processing . The bones that remained were kept inside a huge warehouse .
On that day, all warehouse personnel had been reassigned to other posts . Only Dumby stood in the middle of the warehouse .
Well preserved bones rolled out of a chute and into the warehouse, which was at that moment, filled with the stench of blood .
Dumby stood silently beside the chute, raising its arm when the chute was closed .
Flames began crackling in its skull and then spread across Dumby's arm until they finally pooled in its palm, forming a white, watermelon-sized ball of fire .
Dumby hurled the ball of fire at the pile of bones, which was shattered into pieces in an instant .
The warehouse was once again as silent as a tomb .
After a long while, there was a clatter from the pile of bones . White flames suddenly erupted from it!
Bones now rolled down the bone pile, while skulls' jawbones clacked noisily against their teeth .
Thousands of skeletons were brought back to life inside the warehouse .
The surveillance camera installed on the warehouse's ceiling flashed twice before it went dead . In the surveillance room, the slaughterhouse's supervisor coldly said, "Pretend you didn't see anything just now . From now on, turn off the surveillance cameras every time it's inside the slaughterhouse . Do I make myself clear?"
The security guard nodded obediently .
His wife had a job in the Southern Sky Group, and his daughter was attending a kindergarten which was sponsored by the group as well . He had too much at stake to disobey his superior .
In the warehouse, Dumby straightened its black finger bones and then closed them together .
All of a sudden, the reanimated skeletons collapsed to the ground . White flames emerged from their bones and swirled into a huge ball of fire in the air, which was then absorbed by Dumby's body .
A shiver ran through Dumby's body as the inferno continued to burn in its eye sockets . Its Blood-Thread Heart was thumping heavily against its chest .
After a while, Dumby calmed down, its bones now much shinier than before .
Dumby seemed unperturbed by any of this . It pressed a red button, and what was left of the bone pile exited the warehouse through another chute in the corner .
Twenty minutes later, the chute at the top of the warehouse opened, and a new pile of bones was dumped into the warehouse .
Something hissed inside the laboratory . Gao Peng put down the magazine he was reading and pushed open the laboratory door .
Inside, a purple figure was circling in the air, making loud hissing sounds .
Gao Peng frowned, since the sound was grating on his ears .
"Da Zi, stop . "
The figure came to a halt in the air . The hissing sounds had also stopped .
[Monster Name]: Six-winged Thunder Centipede
[Monster Level]: Level 28
[Monster Grade]: Epic
[Monster Attribute]: Electric
[Monster Ability]: Thunder Mastery Level 2
[Monster Weakness]: Its heart lies in its seventh body segment . Hitting it there will render its whole body limp and numb .
[Special Characteristic]: Thunder Wings (Passive effect 1: Increases its speed and wing beat frequency to the point that it can affect its enemies' senses by producing a thunderous noise with its wings . The effect of said noise is dependent on its wing beat frequency . )
(Passive effect 2: The Thunder Wings effect will gradually strengthen all of the monster's wings . At first, it will only have one pair of Thunder Wings . Later on, all three pairs of its wings will be transformed into Thunder Wings . This process is irreversible . The monster's Thunder Wings will become even sturdier and sharper than the wings of other monsters . )
[All Possible Legendary Evolutions]: 1 . Dragonblood evolution 2 . Storm evolution 3 . Darkness evolution 4 . Ancestral evolution
So this is Da Zi's new ability, thought Gao Peng .
He closely observed the wings on Da Zi's back . Its front pair of wings seemed quite different from the rest . Its other wings were translucent and as thick as a finger, seeming like they were made of a soft and elastic substance .
However, its front pair of wings were a light golden color . The patterns around the edges of the wings and veins in the middle were a light shade of gold, while the rest of its wings was transparent .
Da Zi's overall appearance had also changed a lot . Its mandibles were more slender and sharper than before, like a pair of long sickles .
And its eyes were cold and black . Its feelers had grown longer as well . Barbs had grown out of Da Zi's leg joints . Its body was now even longer and more elegant than before .
"Looking good, Da Zi," said Gao Peng .
Da Zi clicked its mandibles happily . Power now surged throughout its body . It was sure it had become Gao Peng's strongest familiar!
Then it leapt onto Gao Peng without realizing just how heavy it had become .
Bam!
Gao Peng was completely flattened to the ground by Da Zi .
This was what Xu Qingzhi saw when she entered the laboratory .
