The Three Stooges? They were like a combination of the Three Stooges, but for now, it seemed that the middle one was the dumbest, because as it was licking, it went askew and was licked the bottom of Gao Peng’s feet directly.

The mud beneath Gao Peng’s feet was cleaned off. The barbs on its tongue scraped the floor, and a lot of mud made it into its mouth.

It resembled a husky... Oh no, the whiskers on the side of Second Fool’s mouth lifted up, its black and white cheeks were bulging, and some mud residue was dangling on its whiskers. Gao Peng watched it wolf down everything.

“Idiot, what are you doing?” Big Fool angrily said. “Don’t put strange things into my stomach.”

Although there were three heads, three souls and three brains, they only had one shared stomach.

Third Fool was very calm and nipped Second Fool’s ears. Triggered, its head looked skyward, and it stopped moving.

Gao Peng looked at it for a moment and said ruthlessly, “Just eat it.”

“Howl?”

“Woof, Woof, Woof.”

“Howl.”

The three heads were startled. They barked insanely while rolling on the ground, acting cute.

“Does this really work? What a disgrace.”

“It must be effective. I once secretly saw Mother doing this in front of another big fellow.”

Goldie came over emotionlessly and rubbed Second Fool’s head with its right hand, which had a golden glow. The black and white hair on the top of its head became bald instantly.

“Gao Peng, let it be my ride!” said Goldie excitedly. “It’s been changed by me.”

Big Fool and Third Fool stiffened, the expression on their faces extremely odd. Their eyes shifted to stare at Second Fool’s bare head, and they felt a sense of despair rise from the bottom of their hearts.

Gao Peng kept silent for a moment and thought of the Mossy Derp Husky. Maybe this is what God has sent to compensate me. “Then take care of it. If it causes trouble, I’ll look for you.”

“Rest assured.” Goldie slapped its chest with assurance. It then sat its butt on the back of the Three-Headed Hellhound and said, “From this day on, you are the personal mount of the merciful almighty king duck. Do no evil, or otherwise, Grandpa Goldie will take your life.”

“Yes.”

“Noted.” Big Fool and Third Fool were hypocritically flattering him, all the while thinking about a retreat, ready to find opportunities to escape.

“Give me a cool name!” Second Fool happily said.

Big Fool and Third Fool were stunned at its stupidity. They turned to look at Second Fool, this traitor, in disbelief.

Goldie murmured to itself, then slowly said, “I see you’re a little like some of the exotic animals I’ve seen before, so I’ll call you Sahara.”

“Sahara.” Second Fool thought about the name over and over again, and the more it heard it, the cooler it felt. It was so pleased that it ran around in the open air with Goldie on its back.

Big Fool and Third Fool were still shocked. This is the enemy! They wanted to kill us right after they caught us. How did you reach a consensus with the enemy?!

...

“Sir, judging from the stars, to reach our tribe, we’ll need to head in that direction,” the oldest old man said to Gao Peng. After the recent battle, these people’s trust in Gao Peng had increased by leaps and bounds, and they looked at him with more affection.

Gao Peng nodded, then gave orders to go in the direction the old man had pointed.

“Your excellency, are you really a Quasi God monster trainer?” A weak voice was heard from the side.

Gao Peng looked down and saw a tuft of fluffy hair and two pearly black eyes. The eyes were filled with anticipation, curiosity, and hope.

“How old are you?” Seemingly moved by this gaze, Gao Peng touched the little girl’s head.

“I’m eighteen years old,” the little girl said, gently pouting her lips.

Gao Peng carefully looked at the little girl, who seemed very young and skeletal. It seemed like she had been malnourished for a long time. Her flesh was wrapped around bones, her cheekbones were obvious, and there was no color in her cheeks. It was a small face.

“Already eighteen, then do you have your own familiar?” Gao Peng smiled kindly.

The little girl shook her head in a hurry and thought Gao Peng was going to scold her. “No, I dare not.” With that, the little girl burst into tears.

Gao Peng wore a look of confusion. Others looked around and thought Gao Peng was bullying her. It was merely Gao Peng’s authority that kept them from saying much.

At times like this, I wish I was back at the tribe. Nothing else matters.

“Make more noise and I’ll feed you to the dog,” Goldie shouted. The little girl who had been sobbing in a low voice held her breath until her throat was sore.

“Woof, woof, woof.” Sahara ran up and barked loudly, playing up its role as a fierce dog.

Originally, Gao Peng had wanted to do something nice like help her catch a familiar, but he became frustrated by her crying.

After half a month of heading south, Gao Peng hadn’t seen signs of their pursuers catching up. He was relieved. Since they hadn’t caught up after such a long time, chances were that they were no longer coming.

During this period, Gao Peng had grown in familiarity with these people. At the same time, another problem had emerged. The effect of the pill they had taken was approaching the deadline.

If they didn’t continue taking the pills, they would be in the same state again. They now faced a choice between continuing to take the pill to maintain their mutated identities or not taking the pill to restore their original appearance. After all, for now, they were in the wilderness and didn’t have contact with mutated beings, so there was no worry about exposure. More importantly, contact with the tribes under a mutated identity could lead them to more trouble, so Gao Peng and the others finally decided not to continue taking the pills for the time being.

In the dark of the night, upon waking up, Gao Peng, along with the rest of the group, had a change of appearance. Their greenish skin tone had disappeared completely, and now good-looking facial features and upright body postures had replaced it. Gao Peng and the others looked pretty good, the pride of Earth Star.

When Gao Peng showed his true appearance, the others were somewhat surprised. The oldest old man was trembling and said, “Are we really the same race?”

“Yes,” Gao Peng assured the old man with certainty.

The old man was in tears. Others were more relaxed about Gao Peng. After all, there was a fellowship among people of the same race.

In this way, Gao Peng encountered many dangers. The Empyrean wilderness was fraught with danger. Even a God-level monster trainer would have their life threatened. Despite having Gao Peng’s protection, a total of three people died on the journey.

These are people who were inadvertently killed by various poisonous insects and monsters with great killing power in the Empyrean. These monsters appeared so frequently that ordinary people without animal protection would have been killed instantly.
