Gao Peng ignored Moneymaker’s suggestion. Why would I store the treasures with you? Although Moneymaker looked like a fish now, Gao Peng hadn’t forgotten that Moneymaker was still a mouse.
If it had been other treasure, he wouldn’t have minded leaving it with Moneymaker, but the Divine Essence was of great importance and couldn’t be placed casually. Gao Peng also knew that Silly placed a greater value on fruit juice than anything else, thus he placed the Divine Essence inside Silly’s space.
“You’ll get your share, but not now,” Gao Peng consoled Moneymaker.
Moneymaker sniffled. Its eyes were full of regret, but its owner promised it of its share, and it was certain that he wasn’t lying! The little mouse became energetic again. It looked like it was fully charged and full of energy. The tip of its tail was swinging excitedly.
From time to time, the remains of the gods could be seen at the bottom of the lake, but Gao Peng looked at their introductions and found out that they had all been torn down by some kind of brute force.
“This is dreadful.” Gao Peng clicked his tongue and was amazed that someone could tear the gods apart as casually as a toy. He wasn’t aware of what kind of existence could achieve that.
These corpses were decomposed one by one, and more and more Divine Essence piled up in a Silly’s space. Gao Peng noticed that the remains of the gods were mainly contributed by three kind-hearted gods, namely the Fire Phoenix and Hell Tigon, the Crown of Mountains, and the Happy Maiden.
Among them, the Crown of Mountains, judging from its corpse, was a kind of monster similar to a Stone Man. It was enormous, and the corpse piled up like a little hill at the bottom of the lake.
The Happy Maiden had a slim and graceful body, its skin similar to the human race. Gao Peng almost thought it was a beautiful girl with wheat skin when he first saw its body. I’m so sorry. Even though the corpse had been dead for many years, Gao Peng felt that the corpse exuded a unique enchantment when he first saw it.
Da Zi was ashamed of him and despised Gao Peng very much. “Gao Peng, I didn’t expect you to be such a vulgar man.”
Gao Peng brushed Moneymaker’s head and asked, “Moneymaker, are there any other treasures?”
Moneymaker sniffed and shook its head. “Nope, no more.”
Gao Peng smiled and said, “The next time you lie, could your heart not beat that fast? Moreover, the first thing you saw just now was the god’s corpse, but you went past it and darted somewhere deeper. Obviously, there are other things besides the god’s corpse. Am I right?”
Moneymaker blinked, sweat all over its forehead. “I just took a brief sniff. It seems that there’s something tiny below.” Moneymaker swam in front and searched through the muddy water. The water underneath grew murkier after being stirred.
Suddenly, Moneymaker turned around and said, “Gao Peng, can I keep this thing with me? You know that if you put the treasure with me, it’ll increase my speed,” Moneymaker asked carefully. “When I’m stronger, I can find more treasures for you.”
Silly swam slowly towards them from the side, although the mighty Mr. Silly didn’t care about the little things. Although I don’t care about it at all, although I don’t like it at all, although I don’t… Damn you! All of a sudden, Silly punched Moneymaker.
“Why did you hit me? I didn’t snatch your juice.” Moneymaker was befuddled.
In order to avoid Moneymaker’s revenge, Silly quickly swam away. It looked calm on the surface, but it was panicking on the inside.
“Da Zi.” Silly sat on top of Da Zi’s head, hiding in the mane around Da Zi’s neck and refusing to come out. Gao Peng was able to guess Silly’s intentions, but he didn’t expose them. Silly was like a little child—it expressed its joy, anger, and sorrow on its face.
Psssh! There was something in Moneymaker’s mouth. It was shaking its tail violently.
Plop-plop-plop-plop— It seemed like it was pulling a radish as it dragged something out of the mud. A silver fragment was inside Moneymaker’s mouth. The fragment cut the corner of Moneymaker’s mouth, and mercury-like blood diffused everywhere.
Gao Peng took the metal. It was a fragment of a divine artifact made of an unknown metal. There were a lot of complex patterns on the surface. It was very odd, with a slight curve on the surface. It wasn’t like a divine artifact under the weapon category, but its texture was metallic.
Gao Peng rubbed his finger on it and felt different textures when his fingertips scratched across the pattern. Perhaps because the divine artifact fragment was too small, there was no elemental rule on it.
Apart from being as compact as a divine artifact, it had no other attributes of a divine artifact. It looked like a piece of scrap metal. Maybe that was why the fragment had been left unattended for so long.
Fatty Big Sea had two and a half divine artifacts. It wasn’t bothered about a fragment that wasn’t even half the size of a divine artifact.
Goldie rubbed its bald head. A real masculine duck never resorted to external help!
Moneymaker swallowed the fragment of the divine artifact and closed its eyes for a long time before opening them. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! In the water, it transformed into a shadow.
“Its speed has doubled.” Flowing Light squinted and instantly closed its eyes. But it’s still too slow.
When he emerged from the water, Gao Peng scanned around and found a relatively quiet place. He summoned the Dragon Ant to create a white fog. The white fog merged with the dark fog overhead, making the visibility in the fog less than three feet. He couldn’t see his hand even when it was in front of him.
Then Gao Peng retrieved the Meat Essence from the Silly’s space. The Meat Essence, which was the size of a watermelon, was sparkling.
“Wow.” Silly looked like it hadn’t seen much in its life. “What is this?” It sneakily stretched out its hand.
Pat. Gao Peng hit its tentacle.
“Ouch.” Silly retracted its tentacle with tears in its eyes. That was painful.
“A piece each. It’ll be equally divided, so everyone has a share.” Gao Peng waved his hand in a generous manner.
“Mighty Master.”
“Gao Peng, you’re so handsome.”
The familiars cheered and rejoiced.
“Let me divide it,” Flowing Light initiated.
“All right,” Gao Peng approved.
In a flash, Flowing Light had divided the Meat Essence into numerous parts. “This is yours, Da Zi. You’ve been very obedient lately.” Gao Peng handed Da Zi the first one and patted Da Zi’s head to encourage it.
“This is for Goldie. Goldie, you’re getting increasingly stronger, though I thought you’d be getting increasingly flaccid.” Gao Peng teased Goldie and handed it a piece. Goldie laughed and touched its bald head.
Flamy clicked its tongue and glared at its indecent master in anger. “You have a share too, Flamy. Nourish your body.” Gao Peng threw a piece to Flamy.
“Flowing Light, please grow taller in your next evolution.” Gao Peng squinted, smiled, and brushed Flowing Light’s little head.
Flowing Light was five feet tall. The expressionless Flowing Light was just tall enough to reach Gao Peng’s chest. It raised its head, opened its mouth, and swallowed the Meat Essence Gao Peng fed it.
“Stripey, you’re too tall. Bend down a little.” Gao Peng tiptoed and found that he couldn’t even reach Stripey’s instep.
“Yes, yes, this is it. Bend a little bit more… uh, wait, don’t come down!”
Bam! The Cloud Dream Swamp trembled. The violent tremble startled countless birds in the distance.
