  Nyoi-Bo Studio

  To the right stood Feifeng Peak, where Yu the Great, renowned for mitigating the Great Flood in ancient China, supposedly received a mystical book which taught him the ways of flood management from the Goddess of Mount Wushan, Yao Fei.

  At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if a book just flew out from one of these mountains…… Gao Peng chuckled at the thought, shaking his head.

  He then realized that the sound of flipping pages was growing louder. Without warning, a white-covered book flew out from Feifeng Peak. Gao Peng stared at it, speechless.

  The book flew out from Mount Feifeng before disappearing into the Goddess Peak. Frowning, Gao Peng continued deeper into the mountains.

  He fed Stripey a Guise Fruit, shrinking it down considerably so that it could climb up the mountain. Locks of mist swirled around them. Thanks to his refined senses, Gao Peng could feel the eyes of monsters weighing down on him from every corner of the forest. However, they seemed to be content with just spying on him from afar for now.

  The Goddess Peak was a small mountain compared to the others in the region. Even after the Cataclysm, it only reached 6,500 feet tall.

  As they continued on, Gao Peng saw a small black dragon hurtling through the air overhead in the corner of his eye. As it flew, its movements began to change. Gradually, its form too began to change until it settled into the shape of a pair of golden scissors.

  [Ingredient Name]: Concentration Stone

  [Description]: Not only can it imprint on itself the shadows of other monsters, but it can also absorb a monster’s Yin Yang essence. It can summon said shadows in places rich in elemental energy.

  The Concentration Stone! Gao Peng’s eyes lit up. “Let’s go, Stripey.”


  They continued climbing up the mountain until they reached a huge cavern. After walking along a precipitous passage for some time, they finally came out into a valley. Even after consuming the Guise Fruit, Stripey was still remarkably huge compared to most of the wildlife living in the mountains. Its massive body was precariously hanging out over the face of the cliff.

  Unable to restrain itself any longer, a black chicken leaped down from a tree in the forest, its eyes glinting hungrily. It stamped out its leg at Stripey, trying to kick it off the cliff.

  It was staring ravenously at Gao Peng. Cluck, cluck, cluck. If I can kick this huge spider off the mountain, that human will be mine. I’ll be able to sleep with a full stomach tonight……

  Whoosh!

  A blast of heat roared out from the dark ominous clouds above Stripey’s head, roasting the black chicken to a crisp on the spot. After seeing what had just happened to the black chicken, no other monster dared to bother the huge spider and its trainer again.

  Silence and the fragrance of wild plants reigned over the valley. A huge rock stood in the middle of it. Gao Peng rubbed his eyes. There, before him, stood an elegant-looking goddess.

  However, when he blinked, the goddess disappeared. In her place stood a mere rock. Gao Peng narrowed his eyes at it.

  [Monster Name]: The Wu Gorge’s Goddess Stone

  [Monster Grade]: Level 51 (King-tier)

  [Monster Attribute]: Rock/Mystic

  [Monster Grade]: Excellent

  [Monster Ability]: Weather Prayer Level 4, Hard Body Level 4

  [Description]: A stone on top of the Goddess Peak that was brought to life by people’s faith. It has the power to control the weather.

  The Wu Gorge’s Goddess Stone had transformed into an actual monster. Gao Peng was not at all surprised by this. He had suspected that there might have been a nearby relic or statue that had come to life. On top of his list of suspects was the Goddess Stone. To top it all off, it was in possession of a rare weather-controlling ability.

  Gao Peng surveyed his surroundings. He wanted the Concentration Stone.

  Even though the stone could summon the shadows that were imprinted on it, it was still just a stone. As long as it didn’t transform into a monster, it wouldn’t be able to move by itself.

  Pages fluttered behind him. A book flew past Gao Peng from behind and settled between him and the Goddess Stone.

  Gao Peng raised an eyebrow. “You looking for a fight?”


  He was never one to run from a fight. The only thing that concerned him every time someone or something picked a fight with him was that he might get carried away and accidentally beat his opponent to death.

  Gao Peng looked over the book in front of him. It was a white-covered book, as tall as two grown men standing on top of one another. Its pages were thin. It was flipping its pages menacingly at Gao Peng, from the first page to the last, then again from the last page to the first.
