The Desolate Frost Lion took a glance at Moneymaker, who was being carried away by Gao Peng, and withdrew its gaze. When the Psychic monster had attacked just now, it had partially blocked the shock wave from reaching the rodent. Otherwise, Gao Peng would have been sad if it died.
The Treasure Sniffing Rodent was dying and clutching its tiny beating heart. Squeak, squeak, squeak.
Aggrieved, pathetic, helpless, weak, and fond of treasure.
“This is the first time I’ve ever seen this.” Ji Hanwu found it interesting. He had never seen this new breed of monster before.
A bare brain was exposed in the air but with no signs of dehydration. It seemed extremely novel and eccentric. Interesting.
“This is called the Growing Brain. It’s a Psychic monster that can manipulate the dead. It was the one manipulating the Taklamakan. Grandpa, are you interested in raising one?” Gao Peng asked with a smile.
Grandpa looked at Gao Peng and shook his head. “This old man doesn’t have enough Soul Power to sign a contract with it. It’s at least a King-tier. I could perhaps try if it was in the Lord tier.”
To be able to manipulate such a large desert would be impossible for a Lord-tier monster. It was very likely that it would be a King-tier monster.
“Grandpa, since you don’t want it, it would be impolite for me to decline.” Gao Peng would surely not miss this chance, because it was hard to meet a rare Psychic monster with such a high level.
Gao Peng approached the giant white brain that was swaying slightly in the middle of the desert. Numerous drops of sticky and transparent liquid were squeezed out of its crevices and permeated outward. From a distance, it seemed like there were dense beads of water hanging on the brain.
“Delicious brain!” Da Zi’s eyes shone. It recalled the time when Gao Peng had offered it a small bowl of roasted brains at home. Ever since then, it couldn’t forget the taste.
The brains had been fried until golden brown, with delicious green onions, cumin, and chili powder sprinkled on top. The memory of the tender and fragrant meat made Da Zi swallow its saliva and excitedly pat the sand.
I want to eat, I want to eat…
Goldie screamed crazily. Damn it, it was a hallucination just now! I, Huang Haonan, was actually fooled into believing a hallucination made by a monster that only has its brain left. How embarrassing.
After screaming, Goldie stole a peek at Gao Peng. Gao Peng didn’t hear what I said, right? Um… If Gao Peng heard it, how am I going to swindle him in the future?
Looking at how Gao Peng’s face was normal, as if he hadn’t heard, Goldie was relieved. Luckily, he didn’t hear it.
This is what I meant earlier. How can a wealthy bachelor like Gao Peng go bankrupt because of my swindling?! I clearly remember that Gao Peng had enough gold to fill up an entire warehouse. Sooner or later, all this gold will be under my name.
“Let it go! I want a fair one-on-one duel with it. I’m going to kill it today!” Goldie exclaimed with power.
“Let me go, please, let me go.” A thought transmitted into Gao Peng’s mind. The voice was crystal clear, like it belonged to a 5 or 6-year-old child, and it sounded pitiful.
“Tell me why you’re going to Chang’an.” Gao Peng demanded.
There were two seconds of silence. Then, its voice changed to a female one that was a little lethargic and hoarse, filled with glamour. “If I tell you… will you let me go?” The voice tried to tempt him.
Gao Peng was unmoved, “Depends on your performance.”
The next moment, the voice changed into a mature male voice. “Hello, my name is Wang Zhang, and I’m from Chang’an. I’m a desert hiker, and I’ve hiked through seven large and small deserts a total of thirteen times. When the Cataclysm occurred five years ago, I was hiking through the Taklamakan Desert…
“After the disaster, there was a huge sandstorm in the desert… I tried my best, but I ended up dead in the sandstorm.
“My daughter’s 3rd birthday was in another seven days. I wanted to go back to see her and sing her a birthday song… I only wanted to… return to see my daughter.” The man choked up.
Gao Peng remained expressionless. “So this is why you wanted to bring the Taklamakan back to Chang’an?”
“My body became one with the desert. I can’t leave the desert.” The man said in a low voice, “I really just want to go back and see—”
“And eat more people along the way, isn’t that right?” Gao Peng waved his hands. “All right. You don’t have to say anymore. Just decide if you want to surrender. If you’re willing to become my familiar, you can live, but if you don’t… My familiar has been hungry for a while.” Gao Peng pointed at Da Zi, who was drooling beside him.
The lower the level of the monsters, the lower their IQ. Hence, one had to understand their hearts and move them with emotion in order to catch them, because all of them were amiable to friendly persuasion, but not to compulsion.
But the higher the level of monsters, the higher their IQ, and the more things they would think about. The wisdom of a Psychic monster such as this mutated brain would definitely not be shallow. As long as it wasn’t the unyielding and stubborn type, the chances of keeping it after defeating it wouldn’t be low.
As Gao Peng finished, both the Desolate Frost Lion and the White Dragon stepped forward. Their eyes gleamed ferociously, waiting to kill if a wrong answer was given.
The Growing Brain said, “…I just want to go back and see—”
“Shut up. If you fool me again, I will eat you right now.” Gao Peng sneered. You can’t deal with these monsters in a nice tone, otherwise they’ll think that you’re easy to bully.
The Growing Brain froze, and the cerebral cortex of the brain turned bright red, as if it was working at a high speed to think.
Gao Peng’s thoughts were clear. This monster probably had the ability to read memories after devouring brains, so Wang Zhang’s story was real. If he was to investigate, he could likely locate this person.
But it would have had nothing to do with the monster in front of him.
Perhaps it had read about the existence of Chang’an in Wang Zhang’s memory and found out that there were many people in Chang’an. Therefore, it wanted to go there, and the purpose of going to Chang’an was self-evident.
The Growing Brain was relieved after hearing that the person in front of it wasn’t going to kill it, but rather, wanted to keep it. It sprayed out colored mist into the black cave, followed by faint smoke.
“It’s not impossible for me to surrender to you,” the voice of the Growing Brain changed from the male voice to the previous alluring female voice. “But what can I gain from you?”
“You can gain love from your grandpa Goldie!” Goldie was infuriated. Is this how you talk to my boss? The boss recruited you to be his familiar because he thinks highly of you. How dare you negotiate the conditions!
It slapped the Growing Brain’s plasma hard, shocking the brain, which was like a jelly quivering around. The Growing Brain didn’t dare to speak, for this duck was too rude. It became violent just because of a small conflict.
Throughout its five years of life, it had never seen such a violent duck. It cursed silently in its heart, As soon as I get through this, I’m going to eat duck brains every day.
