[Monster Weakness]: Light-type

[Pathways for Promotion to Mythical Grade]: ...

This time, Dumby’s increase in levels had been great. Before the evolution, Dumby had only been at level 26. This time, besides a promotion in grade, his level had increased by four whole levels as well.

From this evolution pathway, Dumby also gained a new ability. Flame of the Undead seemed to be a type of summoning ability, except that it also had its limitations. A corpse was required, and without corpses, the ability would be useless.

But the second ability of Flame of the Undead had Gao Peng deep in thought. Being able to absorb the energy of the resurrected undead for his own use, eh?

Indeed, living up to the name of “tyrant.”

The newly evolved Dumby seemed rather curious as it took a wobbly step. It seemed as though it hadn’t become fully accustomed to the sudden burst in power.

“Dumby, follow me,” said Gao Peng.

Before evolving, Da Zi’s mandibles had only left a mark on Dumby’s bones when using their full force. After the evolution, Gao Peng wasn’t sure how Dumby’s defenses had improved, so the best way to test this out was to...

“Da Zi, give Dumby’s thigh bone a good bite,” instructed Gao Peng.

Because Dumby had just evolved, Da Zi seemed unable to recognize him. Da Zi could only faintly smell a familiar scent from Dumby.

Suspiciously eyeing Dumby, Da Zi slowly crawled over. Dumby’s body was faintly releasing some sort of aura. This aura made Da Zi very uncomfortable, and at the same time, created a sliver of fear in the bottom of its heart.

Then Da Zi suddenly regained its senses. I, the Merciful Liberator Zi, scared?!

Angrily, Da Zi crawled up to Dumby, opened its mouth wide, and viciously bit down on Dumby’s thigh.

Kacha!

A piece of its mandible the size of a grain of rice was chipped off, but Dumby’s white bones were undamaged.

Da Zi paused for a moment, then turned and ran. No matter how much Gao Peng shouted, Da Zi kept going, straight into the depths of the forest.

“Da Zi, come back!” Gao Peng kept shouting.

Watching Da Zi flee, Gao Peng felt helpless. He, too, knew that this was tough for Da Zi.

Being his first familiar, Da Zi’s capabilities hadn’t increased by much, and it was even growing slower than his other familiars.

Epic grade Stripey, Epic grade Flamey, Legendary grade Dumby, and Legendary grade Goldie. Only Silly was still in the same grade as Da Zi, Perfect grade. But Da Zi wasn’t bitter, like Silly, who had no desire to be strong and was just happy drinking juice every day.

Da Zi wished more than anything to become stronger so that he could stay by Gao Peng’s side every day and protect him.

But Da Zi suddenly realized one day that Gao Peng’s other familiars were becoming stronger and stronger. Its role in protecting Gao Peng no longer seemed as important. All it needed to do was tag along and shout “666” to cheer them on. This made Da Zi feel fearful and insecure.

This had nothing to do with any bias on Gao Peng’s part. It was just that he had evolved his familiars based on what rare evolution materials he could get his hands on, and this wasn’t something he had control over.

If the materials used for Goldie or Stripey or any of the others could have been used for Da Zi’s evolution as well, Gao Peng would definitely not have hesitated, but the fact was that such matters were really up to luck.

“I, I will go find Da Zi.” Dumby bent down, gently swept aside the dirt on the ground, and carefully picked up the pale purple chip that was the size of a grain of rice. Gently closing his fist, he strode in large steps in the direction Da Zi had headed.

Gao Peng could have many familiars, but in the world of each familiar, there was only one Gao Peng.

Da Zi indignantly squatted on the ground, digging a hole under a tree before burying itself in the ground. Dumby soon appeared from behind and quietly watched as Da Zi buried itself in the ground, leaving only a small head and two antennae in the air.

Roar... Dumby gently patted Da Zi on the head. The white flames in his eye sockets flashed gently, and a ball of flame drifted out and entered Da Zi’s head, temporarily connecting the minds of Da Zi and Dumby.

“Da Zi,” said Dumby.

Da Zi’s head turned around to look at Dumby, but Da Zi did not speak.

“We are friends,” said Dumby as he stretched out his right hand.

Da Zi still didn’t reply to Dumby.

“You dropped this just now.” Dumby opened up his right hand. In his palm was a small purple chip the size of a grain of rice.

Da Zi took a look and almost burst into tears. I dropped that only because I bit you. Return my front tooth to me!

“Look.” Dumby looked down and gently pointed to a spot on his thigh. That was the spot that Da Zi had bit into. There were a few thin cracks on it that were obvious to the naked eye.

Da Zi coldly snorted. “Wounds from my bite don’t look like that, liar.”

Dumby rubbed his skull sheepishly. “I’ll take note next time.”

“Master likes you best,” Dumby continued as he squatted down to pat Da Zi on the head. “We need you too.”

Da Zi was still throwing a tantrum and remained silent. Then it felt Dumby getting up and leave.

Hmph, you said you needed me yet you’re gone the next moment! Liar!

After ten minutes, footsteps could be heard from behind Da Zi. “What are you coming back for? Even if you come over, I...”

A faint aroma entered Da Zi’s nose.

In Dumby’s left hand was half of a roasted chicken. Dumby placed the roasted chicken a couple feet from Da Zi’s head.

Da Zi’s vision was completely absorbed by the roasted chicken as Da Zi stared at it unblinkingly.

“I forgive you.”

With that, Da Zi crawled out of the ground and attacked the roast chicken, wolfing it down in large bites. As it ate, Da Zi mumbled, “I will definitely become stronger than all of you.”

“Definitely,” said Dumby softly.

“One day, I will definitely become the Merciful Liberator Zi!” Da Zi firmly believed in itself.

Merciful Liberator Zi? Dumby was confused. What is that?

“That’s a super powerful centipede that can even fly!” Da Zi’s eyes were filled with yearning. The centipede really was super powerful.

“You will be as powerful as that.” Dumby nodded his head.

“Hmph!” Da Zi proudly lifted its head.

After Dumby’s comforting, Da Zi finally came back with its mouth dripping grease. Gao Peng comforted Da Zi by saying that they would head into the jungle the next day to find materials for its evolution.

Only after that did a certain jealous centipede contentedly lie down and go to sleep.
