Chapter 59 - Chapter 59

"Maomao, be good. Come here. I'll give you grilled fish to eat." "Little Maomao, be good, or I won't take you out to kill monsters next time." "Don't worry. This isn't a pill. It's a big grilled carp..." ..."Are you coming or not?" Zhou Peng's tone changed. He glared and snorted coldly, "If you don't come here, you'll never eat grilled fish again." Maomao weakly huddled in the corner, showing extremely fearful eyes and not daring to take a step forward. Zhou Peng had tried both coercion and bribery, and had said all the good words, but it still didn't move. He had no choice but to take out his trump card, the fragrant grilled fish. The smell of charred fish filled the whole cave. Maomao saw the grilled fish in Zhou Peng's hand, his eyes sparkled with gold, and saliva flowed out. Excitedly, he walked forward, grinned, showing a cute expression, and rubbed against Zhou Peng's boots, looking like he was trying to please him. Zhou Peng gave a sinister smile. He squatted down, holding the grilled fish in one hand and a black unknown pill in the other, and said, "Eat this first, then eat the grilled fish." Maomao shivered when he saw the black, lumpy thing that smelled like medicine and looked like cow dung. Looking at the grilled fish in Zhou Peng's hand, as if he had made a big decision, he closed his eyes and opened his mouth. "That's a good boy." Zhou Peng smiled slightly and put the pill into Maomao's mouth, then ordered, "Swallow it." Maomao showed a painful expression on his face. Using all his strength, he swallowed the pill, then opened his mouth for Zhou Peng to check. "Good. Be this good in the future, or you'll never eat grilled fish again." As he spoke, Zhou Peng tore off half of the grilled fish and threw it to Maomao. Before the grilled fish hit the ground, Maomao instantly jumped up, bit the grilled fish in one bite, happily swallowed it, licked his lips with unfulfilled desire, and looked at the other half of the grilled fish in Zhou Peng's hand with great interest, saliva flowing all over the place. "You're just a foodie." "You've been eating for more than a year. What have you grown?" "You share my experience, eat my pills, and I have to grill fish for you every day." "Am I your master or are you my master?" Zhou Peng made a series of complaints. Maomao lowered his head, drew circles on the ground with his front paws, and didn't dare to look at Zhou Peng again. He pouted and didn't dare to make a sound. "Oh, you've learned to draw circles to curse people?" As soon as Zhou Peng finished speaking, Maomao immediately stopped moving and didn't dare to draw circles anymore. Zhou Peng looked like he hated that Maomao couldn't be made better. He sighed deeply and threw the other half of the grilled fish to him. He took out a Yangsheng Pill from his space ring and took it, then sat on the side, leaned against the rock wall, and watched Maomao's reaction. More than a year after Black Rock left, Zhou Peng had spent most of his energy on the alchemy technique. After unremitting efforts, the alchemy technique had finally reached level 1. It was only a few hundred points of proficiency away from level 2. This great achievement couldn't be achieved without Maomao, who was the tester of the pills. Since the first pill was refined, Maomao had become his exclusive monster for testing pills. Every time he refined a new and strange pill, he immediately let Maomao try it, see what reaction would occur, and then make modifications and add another kind of spirit grass. Carrying forward the great saying that failure is the mother of success. After tens of thousands of failures, he finally raised the alchemy technique to level 1 and could refine some first - grade pills. Thanks to being in the hinterland of the Kunlun Mountains, it was very easy to collect spirit grass. Otherwise, Zhou Peng didn't know when he could improve the alchemy technique. After his unremitting efforts and hard research, he could finally refine some low - grade pills. The Yangsheng Pill he just took was refined by himself, and the hunger - satisfying effect had been greatly improved. Zhou Peng, who was always curious about scientific research, took this opportunity to have a great time. The pills he refined were all kinds of strange ones, such as aphrodisiac pills, beauty pills, diarrhea pills. Some strange pills had never appeared on the Tianyuan Continent, but he had refined them. Although these pills were a bit unrefined, Zhou Peng was very satisfied with them. These things were very useful. In more than a year, the only thing Zhou Peng couldn't understand was Maomao. This guy had not changed at all since he was born. He had shared a lot of experience points and eaten a lot of things, but he just didn't grow up. He didn't have any of the majesty of the Blood - eyed Maned Lion at all, which made Zhou Peng very disappointed. It was difficult to train a fighting - type pet, but it wasn't this difficult, was it? According to the rules, Maomao's body should have grown a bit. In the pet system, his level had reached level 5, but his body had no change at all. Zhou Peng couldn't understand it. Finally, Zhou Peng suspected that all this was because of the pills. He had let Maomao try all kinds of strange pills, and finally caused poor growth and genetic variation in his body, making him a dwarf Blood - eyed Maned Lion. For this reason, Zhou Peng felt very guilty at some times. So in order to make Maomao grow normally, he was constantly researching new pills. The one he just gave Maomao to eat was a newly developed pill. All the attributes shown by the system were???, and he had no way of knowing what the effect was. After Maomao swallowed the pill, there was no obvious reaction, which made Zhou Peng very disappointed. He secretly thought about what was wrong. Was it the wrong dose of spirit grass or the wrong kind of spirit grass? Seeing Zhou Peng lost in thought, Maomao was afraid again. He knew that this insidious master was thinking about how to refine a new pill again. "Boom..." A series of thunderous sounds came from outside the cave. Zhou Peng's eyes opened wide. Maomao quickly ran to the entrance of the cave, sniffed with his nose, and immediately growled in a low voice in one direction. Suddenly, Zhou Peng released the Breath Law, and his eyes lit up, "Humans?!" Since Black Rock left, Zhou Peng had not seen a living person. Occasionally, he saw some dead people whose bodies had begun to rot. The sound just now must have been caused by the collision of cultivation methods. He also sensed that there were five people in the (breath). Their internal (breath) was stable, and their strength should not be lower than the Gathering Spirit Realm. Maomao stood aside, looking at Zhou Peng with great interest, his eyes full of excitement. "Let's go and have a look." Zhou Peng smiled, and Maomao instantly jumped down from the cave on the cliff. Although Maomao's body didn't grow much, his body's flexibility was extremely strong. Jumping down from a place hundreds of meters high, he landed steadily on the ground without any injury. After Maomao jumped down, Zhou Peng also jumped down. --- "Senior brother, fourth - level monsters are really not worth looking at." A woman in a pink dress, with a flirtatious appearance and natural charm, looked at the red - flame wild boar at her feet and said with disdain. "Little palace master, you don't need to deal with these low - level monsters. We'll do it." A man who looked like a servant hunched over and walked to the woman, bowed his head and said respectfully. "Sister Yan, you are already at the eighth level of the Gathering Spirit Realm. Of course, fourth - level monsters are not your opponents." A young man in white came up, holding a white fan in his hand, with a handsome appearance. The long robe under his feet moved without wind, and his strength was not bad. The other two men also came up. "Our purpose this time is the thousand - year corpse king. Finish the task as soon as possible and get the merit points so that we can exchange a better weapon for you." The young man said slightly, walked to the woman and gently brushed the messy hair on her forehead. The servant beside the woman's eyes flashed, showing a little anger, and couldn't help clenching his fists a little bit, but this series of actions was not noticed by others. The man tidied up the messy hair on the woman's forehead and said gently, "I know you've always wanted the colored glaze sword. As long as we kill this thousand - year corpse king, the merit points will be enough." "Senior brother, you are so good to me." The woman giggled charmingly, and her body slightly leaned against the man's arms, looking extremely ambiguous. The other two men on the other side showed envious expressions on their faces. Suddenly, the woman's expression changed. She was shocked and said, "What a cute cub! Senior brother, senior brother, quickly... quickly catch it for me!" Before the man could move, the other two men finally got the chance to show off. They immediately ran out...
