Chapter 663: Dragon… Dragon Ant Little Adamantine?

The midday sun was glaring as gusts of hot wind blew by. Gao Peng wiped the sweat off of his forehead.

On the vast plains laid seven little creatures. Even an extremely weak King-tier monster could eat them all at this point, but with a group of familiars guarding the area, only naive monsters would dare approach them.

As the seven little ones stirred from their deep sleep, they became increasingly grumpy. Seventh Baby, the Heart Ant which laid in the middle, shivered. Moneymaker, thinking that it had woken up, immediately sprung over when it noticed massive amounts of white fog spreading from gaps around its body. Moneymaker scurried backward and looked on with shock and confusion. The fog spread everywhere and formed six chains, connecting Seventh Baby with the other six.

The commotion caught the attention of Da Zi, who was dozing off. It snuck a peek with its right eye and quickly sat up when it saw what was going on. It hurried to nudge Gao Peng, who was sleeping, with its claws.

“Gao Peng, Gao Peng, get up quick. We have a big problem.”

Gao Peng jolted up and rushed to observe the situation from the hills. At that moment, he saw the seven little ones levitating in mid-air, joined together by an invisible force.

[Monster Condition]: Merging

Merging? Gao Peng’s face went pale. He had never allowed these seven brothers to merge, nor was he prepared to let that happen. Why was such a strange thing happening so suddenly?

He ran to the shadowed area at the foot of the hills as the temperature near the Shadow Well dropped about forty to fifty degrees. A gust of cold wind froze the ground with a layer of frost as snowflakes hung atop the surrounding tree branches.

In that instant, Fatty Big Sea was bobbing about in the well, sinking, floating, and rolling around. Gao Peng couldn’t grasp Fatty Big Sea’s current condition. If it was a critical moment before the next breakthrough, it would be quite troublesome.

His brows furrowed and he couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

Fatty Big Sea was the only one that he could rely on, yet nobody knew when it would wake up.

“Calm down. It’s not a bad thing that they’re merging.” The only thing that made Gao Peng less worried was that the seven little ones weren’t going through a bad change. Merging… wasn’t considered a bad change at the end of the day.

Boom! Crash! The thundering noises of dark clouds colliding came from above, while the sun was eventually engulfed as the black clouds thickened. The clouds were as dark as ink, about to unleash a downpour.

The shell on Stripey’s head cracked, and from the cracks spewed gloomy disaster clouds. Like blood-red Mars hidden within black smoke, two dark clouds crashed head-on. The lightning was swallowed before it could strike past the thick mass of gray clouds. Some time later, the gray clouds cleared unwillingly.

This is the second time! I will not forget this!

As the wind blew, the seven brothers gently floated up, then began to move toward the Heart Ant in the middle. The glare from a bright white light obstructed every view of the surroundings. The seven brothers’ breath became more and more shallow, but never gone, merely combining.

Phew.

Glazed golden armor covered their fists. One punch pierced through the white light. Within the interlacing of fine scales in purple and gold hues, its aura became sharp and intimidating. A deep dragon-like roar echoed across the plains.

Boom! Its fiery blood and chi set the ground ablaze.

Heavy footsteps reverberated in all of the monsters’ ears. They couldn’t help but narrow their eyes from the dangerous vibes emitted.

“Dragon Ant, greetings, Master.” A burly, ten-foot-tall human-like beast in golden armor strode out and kneeled down on one knee.

Its knee sunk down heavily, firmly bracing itself on the ground. The moment it landed, the ground sunk and quickly bounced back. Cracks appeared and intensified, stretching over thousands of yards as if they were ferocious fangs.

Its lowered head was covered by thick blood-red armor, hiding its face. Beneath the armor, its eyes glowed with brutality and bloodlust.

Until then, only faint yellow smoke had risen from the boundaries of the cracks.

[Monster Description]: A very rare breed among Dragon Ants. Only when one mother breed and more than five Dragon Ants of the same tier and grade evolve at the same time will they merge. The evolved Hundred Faces Dragon Ant can freely change their attributes and possess the abilities of two Dragon Ants combined. The only flaw is that the Hundred Faces Dragon Ant’s body is controlled by all the brothers at once, which makes it moody.

It was just one step away from the Saint tier, but there was still an obstacle. Even though the Hundred Faces Dragon Ant’s specialties seemed neither great nor terrible, similar to other familiars’ specialties, but Gao Peng didn’t view it that way. He had been a trainer for many years and had lots of experience in fights and battles.

There was one thing the Hundred Faces Dragon Ant had that other familiars did not—all familiars were born with their abilities while the Hundred Faces Dragon Ant was in some senses… able to choose its powers!

It could choose its abilities and change them anytime, to abilities suitable for non-fighting mode purposes, without any delay.

Blood Rage and Epically Odd Strength were originally Elder Baby and Third Baby’s abilities, respectively. They were both special for their strength. Now that they had combined, it wasn’t just a simple one plus one equaled two.

The fact was that it hadn’t made a breakthrough to Saint-tier yet, but its powers were already at Level 7. If both passive skills that had increased its strength were triggered, then the Dragon Ant’s strength would skyrocket to an unimaginable level.

Two days later, Fatty Big Sea finally woke up, noticeably stronger. It seemed like it had gained quite a lot. I just woke up, but why are my surroundings so quiet? The seven little Dragon Ants used to be so noisy and active.

“Eh, who are you?” Fatty Big Sea noticed the Hundred Faces Dragon Ant perching on a rock nearby.

The Hundred Faces Dragon Ant saw that Fatty Big Sea had woken up, stood up, and then walked towards Fatty Big Sea. When it took a stride, its armor changed color abruptly. It was a cream color now.

Da Zi and the others understood. This was Sixth Baby controlling the body. “Let’s test our strengths together!”

White fog surrounded the Hundred Faces Dragon Ant’s arm and finally condensed into a gigantic misty fist, flying toward Fatty Big Sea.

“Sixth Baby?” Fatty Big Sea could instantly tell that this was Sixth Baby’s smoke powers. With a swing of its tail, the misty fist was defeated.

“Sixth Baby, you changed quite a lot.” Fatty Big Sea found it hard to believe that it had overlooked Sixth Baby before.

“Once more.” The Hundred Faces Dragon Ant didn’t back off. Instead, it attacked with two rays of light from its pupils.

Fatty Big Sea was shocked; was that not Second Baby’s power?

Under conditional reflection, a fish fin appeared with a smack. A water wall condensed out of nowhere and smashed toward the Dragon Ant rapidly.

The water wall shattered the daylight and with its consistent force, slamming against the Hundred Faces Dragon Ant’s body. It was knocked out immediately.
