By the time Gao Peng returned to Yuzhou, it was already the next day.

The Horrifying Violent Female Spider had already been flown to Yuzhou City a week ago. Grandpa seemed to be very happy, and he praised Gao Peng a good deal.

At Grandpas villa, there was a small lake. It was not large at all and seemed manmade.

The lakeside was open and unobstructed, and the air was clear and fresh. The endless blue sky and white clouds were reflected on the mirror-like lake surface. The surface was calm without a single ripple, as though it was in deep slumber.

Along the grassy patch by the lake were a few beach chairs. There were even a few fishing poles set up by the lake, with fishing lines leading deep into the water.

This scene looked extremely satisfying and peaceful at the same time.

Seeing such a beautiful lake, and one owned by his own family, Gao Peng could not resist running back to the bedroom to change into a pair of swimming trunks. On such a hot summer day, soaking in the lake for a bath would definitely be very comfortable.

Gao Peng happily jumped into the lake and was immediately enveloped by icy-cold lake water.

Then, Gao Peng found himself rising higher and higher, higher and higher, until he gradually flew out from the river surface

FLEW OUT?!

Gao Peng immediately looked around him, but found that he could not move at all. When he looked down, he saw that the clear lake water had turned into a rope that was binding him tightly. The rope of water rose from the lakes surface and dragged him up into the sky.

A strong sense of weightlessness enveloped him, and Gao Peng was too stunned to act for a moment.

Has the lake come alive?

Gao Peng shouted loudly, Flamy, Flamy!

He saw that he was already forty or fifty meters above the surface of the lake. If he fell from such a height, it would not be much different than falling onto concrete.

Even if he emerged unscathed because of the Blood Contract, it would still hurt!

From inside the villa, Flamy got the signal and flew out. It looked fearfully at the bottom of the lake first, then got over its fear and bravely flew towards Gao Peng.

White Dragon! From the second floor of the villa, Ji Hanwu stood on the veranda and shook his head at the direction of the lake. Thats your little master, so play gently.

Only then did Gao Peng feel his ascent slow down. Below him, the water was trickling back down into the lake. By this time, Flamy had already flown to Gao Pengs side. Gao Peng grasped onto Flamys single leg and was brought safely to the side of the lake like riding a hang glider.

Still in shock, Gao Peng turned around and looked at the depths of the lake.

The calm lake suddenly frothed, and a slithery black behemoth slowly rose to the surface.

A giant snake?!

The corners of Gao Pengs mouth twitched as he realized that such a giant snake had been hiding below the lake he was just swimming in. From the looks of it, it was definitely no less than a hundred meters long.

It seemed as though he had wandered right into the giant snakes nest.

But immediately afterwards, Gao Peng found that he could not be more wrong. This was no giant snake.

A snowy white head erupted from the waters surface, with most of the body still hidden within the lake. Water dripped down from the top of its head to the sides, causing its white mane to stick to the sides of its neck. Large droplets of water dripped down. Its nostrils flared as it snorted out a ball of mist. The mane that was sticking to its neck suddenly became erect, spraying mist into the air. The mane regained its smooth and flowy appearance, drifting in the wind.

The creature hiding under the lake was clearly an aquatic dragon.

Gao Peng suddenly recalled the words he told himself the other day, and his jaw dropped. Grandpa really did have a dragon.

Even though it was an aquatic dragon, it was still considered a dragon.

Gao Peng suddenly thought of the various myths and legends that were passed down from Huaxias long history. Now that he had seen an aquatic dragon, did that mean that ghosts, fairies, phoenixes, qilins, and other such creatures were not merely myths?

Moved by such a notion, Gao Peng turned to look at silly little Flamy. Flamy had realized nothing, and was currently perched by the beach chair, pecking at the fruit on the table.

In ancient times, there had been a bird, shaped like a crane, one-legged, with red markings, a green body, and a white beak. Its name was Bi Fang. Its cry was the same as its name, and where it appeared, strange fires occurred.

Its shaped like a crane, its one-legged, and it can spit fire. Flamy is already very close to the mythical bird Bi Fang in the legends.

But in the legends, Bi Fang shouldnt have been that fat, right?

Gao Peng doubtfully observed Flamy.

Flamy noticed its master looking at it. As though agitated by the strange look that Gao Peng was giving it, Flamy glared indignantly back at Gao Peng and chirped loudly.

What are you looking at? Im just this fat!

So what!

You dont like that Im fat?

Gao Peng had nothing to say. He turned away, not being bothered by the little fatty.

These familiars of his were getting more attitude every day.

Flamy was currently still pretty far from the mythological bird Bi Fang, but it seemed to be evolving in that direction.

When he turned around, he found that the aquatic dragon in the lake had come up on the shore of the lake and laid down without him noticing. Half of its body was on the shore, and the other half was still in the lake. It was lazily rolling on the ground.

With its giant body, just the portion that was revealed above the surface of the water was already a frightening sight. But it was a sight that moved Gao Peng nonetheless. He could not resist the urge to stretch out and pat it.

He had never touched an aquatic dragon before. Perhaps the number of people in the world who had ever touched an aquatic dragon could be counted in one hand.

[Requirements for Promotion to Epic Grade]: 1. Pureblood evolution 2. Calamity evolution 3. Water-type evolution

There werent many evolutionary paths, only coming up to a total of five evolutions. Gao Peng realized that as the monsters level increased, the number of evolutions decreased.

But even so, five types of evolutions was still considerable.

Gao Peng had also considered the possibility of there being other evolutionary paths other than those listed in the data table.

But he still had a very long way to go before he could actually practically consider such things.

Gao Peng committed to memory the materials needed for each of the five types of evolutions and prepared to hand over the information to Grandpa when he could find the chance.

The White Aquatic Dragon was the highest leveled familiar that Gao Peng had ever encountered. Perhaps because Gao Peng was an ally, the White Aquatic Dragon had fully held back its aura. It looked very gentle at the moment.

This monsters special characteristics were both passive skills: one that increased its speed and agility, and another that increased the hardness and power of its scales and claws.

This meant that the White Aquatic Dragons physical capabilities were absolutely terrifying.

Gao Peng still intended to carry on. He carefully inched towards the White Aquatic Dragon, hoping to touch it while it was still unaware.

Although both had the blood of a dragon, the White Aquatic Dragon would definitely easily suppress the Dragonblood Red Sand Carp both in level and ability.

As he crept closer, the White Aquatic Dragon remained sprawling lazily on the grass. Suddenly, it opened its eyes and turned around. Large dragon eyes the size of water tanks stared directly at Gao Peng, causing his sneakily extended left arm to hang awkwardly in mid-air.

Coming up with an idea spur of the moment, Gao Peng stretched out his right arm as well, pretending to do some stretching.

He looked with regret at the white dragon. It seemed like there was no chance to pat the dragon just yet.
