Chapter 495: The Adventures of Da Zi

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Before, the only known King-tier Trainers in the world were Ji Hanwu and Gao Peng from the Huaxia Region, as well as Hua Lun from the Kushan Region.

Plenty of King-tier monsters have been discovered but there were only three King-tier Trainers, going to show how rare they were.

But suddenly, just overnight, four new King-tier Trainers had suddenly appeared. And this happened right when so many base cities and large districts announced their exit from the Allied Government. This sent the masses into an even greater panic.

According to the news that Gao Peng received, right now, most of the base cities across the world were in a strained relationship with the World Allied Government. They would comply with explicit orders from the Allied Government, but that was the utmost limit of their cooperation.

This was not unlike ancient dynasties in the past. With non-compliant state governments despite having the emperor still on the throne. Some areas even had rebels, or self-declared kings of their own.

The World Government was now showing signs much like dynasties about to fall. The situation was hard to salvage.

Furthermore... being someone who knows certain facts, Gao Peng was well aware that these Trainers that appeared out of nowhere could very well not be from Earth, but rather members of an ancient tribe returning to Earth.

For the Sang Tong tribe alone to be able to send out four relatively strong King-tier Trainers, this clearly showed that the strength of these tribes were much more scary than he could have imagined.

Currently, they were only limited by the Earth’s level limit and were only able to send King-tier Trainers. If not, Emperor-tier, or even Overlord-tier Trainers would appear in front of the inhabitants of Earth. Their existence was a terrifying threat. As long as the Earth’s level limit were to go up, they would immediately send more experts of the corresponding strength.

Those that had revealed themselves were only the minority, there were many more Trainers still lurking in the darkness.

Gao Peng secretly sighed.

He did not wish to continue on like this. He was well aware that if his name became more well-known, there would definitely be those who would want to challenge his position.

He was not afraid of challenges though, but having an incessant number of challengers would be... just too troublesome.

If he stayed on Earth, he would forever be a mere chess piece. Gao Peng did not wish to become a chess piece, he wanted to be the one moving the chess pieces.

To become that person, the only way forward was to leave Earth. The Earth has its built-in restriction against monsters or Familiars that were too strong. This could be seen as protection, but in other ways also a form of imprisonment.

The previous day, the Mayor Jiangnan Base City, He Wei, had called, expressing his wishes for Gao Peng and his Grandpa to join Jiangnan Base City. His words were full of praise, clearly showing how he valued them.

Although He Wei’s tone and attitude were sincere, Gao Peng rejected his offer in the end.

Over the next few days, news of Trainers committing robberies and other crimes appeared in other districts.

In times of crisis, the extremes of human nature become much more prominent.

However, with the Southern Sky Group as well as Gao Peng manning the helm, Yuzhou was much more stable than other districts.

Gao Peng had also lent a hand to the Yuzhou City Government to control the situation in Yuzhou.

“Da Zi still isn’t back yet?” asked Gao Peng, “It’s not safe anymore out there, Da Zi needs to hurry back soon.”

Flamy replied with a frown, “Gao Peng, Da Zi is missing.”

Gao Peng froze. His voice went up a few pitches as he spoke, “Missing!? Didn’t you say there were Familiars following Da Zi? How is Da Zi missing now!”

Flamy was in panic, “There were Familiars following Da Zi, but Da Zi ran into a rift yesterday, and today the rift has vanished.”

Gao Peng’s heart sank. He tried to contact Da Zi through the Blood Contract, but to no avail.

“Bring me to where Da Zi disappeared.”

Gao Peng rode on Flamy to the location, reaching there in around half an hour. The distance from Southern Sky Group was only around 300km, not too far.

For a Lord-tier Familiar on the brink of King-tier like Da Zi, this was rather close...

But at this moment, Gao Peng evidently was in no mood to consider such things.

This was a quiet valley. Within the valley, there was an area with wilted vegetation. Some of the plants there were even burnt to cinders from electricity.

In the forest around them, a Li Hua Tiger Cat was secretly eyeing Gao Peng. Flamy turned to face it. The Tiger Cat leapt up a dozen meters in the air, raising its bristled tail. In a blink of an eye, it had hopped away like a rabbit and vanished back into the forest.

Gao Peng knelt down, gently passing his hand over the burnt vegetation. Some were prickly to the touch. He rubbed some of the material with his fingers and his palms became covered in black.

“An arc of electricity has swept through these.” After playing with Da Zi regularly in the past, Gao Peng could recognize the signs left behind on these plants.

According to what Flamy said, Da Zi had most likely entered a spatial rift. Gao Peng kept his fingers crossed. “You’re sure Da Zi vanished here?”

“Yup yup.” Flamy nodded.

With the search yielding no results, Gao Peng gave a long sigh in the end.

Based on how Flamy described it, Da Zi had entered a spatial rift with purplish light coming from the edges of the rift. Da Zi had curiously observed the edges of the rift first, before crawling all the way in.

“That fool.” Even though Gao Peng had prepared himself mentally for this, he still wanted to try just a bit more.

He closed his eyes and connected to the Blood Contract, trying to call out to Da Zi. Once again, the signal was like dropping a rock into the ocean, no reply came.

Gao Peng’s heart sank again. With one last look at the valley, Gao Peng rode on Flamy and left the valley.

Flamy was like a child that did something wrong, not uttering a single word throughout the whole journey.

...

One day ago, Da Zi was waddling its backside crawling on with no destination in mind.

The three pairs of dragon wings on its back unconsciously twitched. Back then, Da Zi had made up its mind to set off on a training journey after a setback. After all, that was what always happened in anime.

I’ve already walked for two days and five hours, and Gao Peng still hasn’t come look for me. I’m writing this grudge down in my notebook.

Da Zi was a little angry, did Gao Peng not see my message?

I already said I was out on a journey, why has Gao Peng not come to look for me yet.

Does Gao Peng not like me anymore!?

The petty Da Zi took a bite out of a tree bark, wolfing it down in large mouthfuls.

Centipedes were omnivorous. Even though Da Zi was now a dragon centipede, but its nature would not stray far from its original centipede nature.

Suddenly, a flash of purple appeared in front. Da Zi was very unhappy. The shiny thingy in front was getting in the way of Da Zi getting angry.

Although that was what Da Zi thought, its body still chased after it.

Eh? What’s this?

Da Zi saw that up ahead was an oval hole glowing with a purple light. Inside was thick with concentrated electric elemental energy. This drew Da Zi closer.

Its two dragon claws clung on to the edges of the spatial rift as it peered its head inside curiously.

Putting its head into the spatial rift, Da Zi saw an expanse of purple. Inside, it was all purple, blue, silver, red, a mix of colors all blended together.

The concentrated electric energy had Da Zi unconsciously drawing in a deep breath. It was just like a fish being placed back into water. With this feeling, Da Zi’s eyes opened wide, as it quickly scrambled into the rift.

In the air there, the thick electric elemental energy had condensed into various shapes. Some spherical, some conical, some linear. But these were only the most basic ones. In the distance, Da Zi saw silver arcs of electricity forming a snake, leisurely slithering across the horizon. There was also a rabbit made out of red electricity, hopping around.

Da Zi was stunned from shock, what is this place?
