Ji Hanwu kept his composure. It seemed that his grandson created trouble outside. No wonder when he woke up that morning, he had heard a magpie’s chirping outside the window.

“Teacher, in the past, I...” The high priest was hesitant as she spoke; she hadn’t apologized to anyone in a long time.

“I can feel his emotions. He didn’t blame you, even at the moment of his death,” Ji Hanwu said calmly.

“Teacher?” The high priest’s voice trembled slightly. Her eyes were hollow as if she was calling for someone or talking to herself. “I...”

Composed, Ji Hanwu said, “He was relieved before his death, because you learned to make a choice, which is an asset that a qualified high priest should have.”

The high priest stood rooted in the same position as if she was a sculpture, startled.

Ji Hanwu poured a cup of tea on the table. “Since you’re here, stay behind for dinner, and we can discuss our cooperation. I believe you should be very interested in my last life.”

The high priest nodded. “All right.”

...

Gao Peng and Dragon Ant chose to merge, as the first three babies were too tired, and now, the Fourth Baby was manipulating the body.

They calculated half a year’s journey based on the speed of that Quasi God. That wasn’t to say that it was necessary to take half a year to travel from the Li Tribe to the destination; it was simply an estimation of that Quasi God that it would take half a year for the journey. If it was changed to someone who was weaker than a Quasi God, such as a monster trainer, it would definitely take longer.

“The Dragon Ant should be able to reduce this time significantly.” The longer the Dragon Ant moved in a straight line in a fixed direction, the faster it would be.

A month later, the speed of the Dragon Ant was ten times faster than its initial speed. When they passed by a lake, there was an eye that was opened in the lake, then a huge wave surged up. A swordtail with a fine golden print transformed into a thunderous sword and bolted towards Dragon Ant in the sky.

The thunder and lightning lingered in the sky for a long time. The shadow of the Dragon Ant was torn to pieces by the lightning.

Thirty miles south, the Dragon Ant had gradually made it far away, and all was left was a monster in the lake who doubted its own ability. Am I that weak?

“Was that a god just now?” Gao Peng’s heart was in his mouth. Even if he was so far away, he had felt the horrible temperature exploding from the golden thunder, like a sun that had exploded behind them.

Fatty Big Sea was silent for two seconds. “It’s a wild god.”

“It should be a god who’s doubtful of its life now.” Fatty Big Sea was amused. “It has seen food that runs faster than a hunter, and it may never have seen a Quasi God moving that fast.”

That was only one small episode while they were on the road, but Gao Peng remembered the location of the lake in his head.

Three days later, a fuzzy black shadow on their right brushed by, Gao Peng quickly shouted for them to stop moving. The Dragon Ant stopped in an instant, but its inertia caused it to dart a few hundred miles farther.

Looking back from 250 miles away, a neat and black mountain on the horizon stood between the other mountains. Through Second Baby’s Diurnal Pupil, Gao Peng saw something different compared to his normal field of vision. A lot of black fog was floating in the originally blue sky. The fog was like a smoke signal that was bolting into the clouds; it had formed a vortex of dark clouds above them.

The sun in the sky was devoured, and the shadows fell to the earth. The mountains on the ground were like abandoned devils, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they devoured the fog. Under the cold giant city, the devils were worshiping the throne.

Gao Peng’s heart was palpitating.

“Shall we go or not?” Gao Peng solicited the advice of Fatty Big Sea. Although Fatty Big Sea was sometimes unreliable, most of the time, it was trustworthy. After all, Fatty Big Sea was a fish with a fat head, a creature of courage, and also one who would run away in the face of danger.

Fatty Big Sea thought and gave its answer. “Go! Why are we not going? We’ve already come all the way here, and we can’t be discouraged. Anyway, after so many years I figured out a truth: there’s no absolutely safe place. There are only large or small profits and perks. You should fight for it if you want to succeed.”

Gao Peng was silent. He nodded as he tidied up and moved forward. His back facing Fatty Big Sea, his voice came from the front. “You’ve read too much ‘Chicken Soup for the Soul’ recently. I would recommend you to read some ‘Poisonous Chicken Soup for the Soul.’”

“Chicken soup?” Fatty Big Sea pondered. “I didn’t read any recipe. Poisonous chicken soup... Gao Peng is asking me to poison him?”

Three hundred miles from the center of the giant city was very polluted, and the air was filled with the scent of rusty metal and engine oil.

The soil under their foot was soft and soaked in some kind of grease. There would be a footprint when one took a step, but the soil would suck the soles of the shoes down.

“These trees...” The trees that grew on the mountain were incredibly strange. There weren’t leaves growing out on the tall and dense trees, but gears growing out instead. Numerous silver, black, gold, and green gears grew on different trees, each gear with a different color and shape.

Gao Peng plucked off a leaf... or should it be called a gear. The gear on his palm felt a bit like plastic, while those trees with older and larger leaf had a layer of metal like a hard shell.

Chomp, chomp. Goldie took a handful and threw them into its mouth, then ate with relish. “Gao Peng, this silver one is durian flavored. Let me taste this green one.”

Gao Peng couldn’t stop Goldie in time as it grabbed a green gear and threw it into its mouth. “Bah! This one is raw!”

Rustle. There was a series of rustling sounds coming from the top of the hill. There was something hidden in the dark observing them. It was as if it was hidden in the shadows, hidden in the dark, everywhere, and it was in disguise... “Fancy stuff!” Goldie’s toe slammed on the ground, with a bang!

The soil splattered, and Goldie turned into a shadow that darted up to the top of the mountain. Two milliseconds seconds after, there was a massive bang. It was as if a missile had exploded at the top of the mountain, and the mountain was shaking.

Goldie wiped the black bloodstain on its right hand and walked down from the top of the mountain. “Gao Peng, I killed it all by accident. I used too much strength.”

After saying that, Goldie brushed its bald head and added a layer of oil to its head. After that accident, all the monsters hiding in the dark retreated. Stay out of trouble. Stay out of trouble.

Ten minutes later, Gao Peng finally saw a monster that hadn’t been able to escape in time, a monster that looked a bit like a pig. It had a large and plump body, half of its nostrils and cheeks rotting. Its rotting cheeks had a chain of gears, and the corner of its rotting mouth was gleaming with a metallic luster. It was trying to escape backward but had lost its flexibility because it was too fat. It was hard for it to hide behind a large rock, but its buttocks were exposed.
