As the year's end, was approaching, the villa had become more and more lively .
Gao Peng was also preparing for some experiments in the laboratory, such as the Green Plague Queen Bug brought back from the Hanzhong base city and a Shape s.h.i.+fting Elf they had previously captured .
Although the Shape s.h.i.+fting Elf was only Level 19, Gao Peng was more interested in it than the dead Green Plague Queen Bug . The Green Plague Queen Bug could only be considered dessert, whereas the Shape s.h.i.+fting Elf was equivalent to a meal .
The Shape s.h.i.+fting Elf that was tied to the table s.h.i.+vered and looked at the man in front of it with horror .
It had come to this place by chance, since it had been taken off of the streets . Every day, people came in to give it water and food . There wasn't much, just enough to ensure that it didn't starve to death .
That day, it was brought into an unfamiliar room right after lunch . There was an icy iron table in the room and something that didn't look like it could be eaten was placed on it .
After a while, a man came in . It wanted to struggle, but it didn't work . The man lifted it up violently and tied it to the table .
“Have mercy! My lord, please have mercy!” The Shape s.h.i.+fting Elf screamed loudly .
Gao Peng calmly looked at the little monster that was struggling . He had long grown accustomed to these kinds of scenes . No monster came without screaming, and this was just another one of them .
This monster's attributes seemed good, so Gao Peng's att.i.tude towards it became gentler . “Don't move . Stop moving your legs… Otherwise, I'll break them . ” Gao Peng's voice was cold .
Gao Peng could easily immerse himself in the experiments he was conducting .
The Shape s.h.i.+fting Elf looked at the Bone Breaking Hammer in Gao Peng's hand and lowered its head, letting itself surrender to Gao Peng's mercy .
[Monster name]: Shape s.h.i.+fting Elf
[Monster level]: Level 19
[Monster attribute]: Mystic
[Monster skill]: Morphing Level 1
[Monster weakness]: After shapes.h.i.+fting, it can only keep the basic form and the same level of physicality of the target creature, but cannot possess the target's biological element or other abilities .
[Monster profile]: The Shape s.h.i.+fting Elf from the world of Qingyang has the ability to shape-s.h.i.+ft . It can imitate the appearance of the target creature, or change its own appearance as it wishes . They're weak, timid, and tend to avoid conflict if they can solve problems without violence . They like to drink pure water from the snowy mountains .
The ability to shape-s.h.i.+ft was worth studying, concerning what conditions could break the shape-s.h.i.+fting ability after morphing . Another example of a research question was whether the shape-s.h.i.+fting energy could be attached to a foreign object or stored in any container .
Even if the above goals couldn't be achieved, testing the weaknesses of these Shape s.h.i.+fting Elves could also help them learn how to deal with monsters that possessed the same ability .
Half a day pa.s.sed by quickly . Gao Peng was satisfied when he left the lab, as he had seen some results .
Da Zi waddled close to its master . “Gao Peng, Gao Peng, when will you work on me?”
“You?” Gao Peng squinted at Da Zi . He fretted slightly while he sat on the sofa and sighed . “I'm too tired recently . Even my legs are sore . ”
Da Zi quickly stood up, bowed its back, and carefully ma.s.saged Gao Peng's legs, its two small claws ma.s.saging Gao Peng's legs . Its upper body was swaying to the same rhythm as its claws .
“Too soft . ” Gao Peng yawned . “Have you not eaten?”
Da Zi repeatedly apologized, then put greater strength into the ma.s.sage . “Gao Peng, Gao Peng, what do you think about the ma.s.sage now?”
“It's all right . ” Gao Peng barely accepted it and moved his legs forward two steps . “My back is also sore . ”
Ahhhm—
A dragon's hum echoed through the sky while a silver shadow flashed by . The people from Yuzhou City and the Southern Sky Group were accustomed to this .
Ji Hanwu didn't notice at first, but the message transmitted from the White Dragon into the mental sea made Ji Han Wu put down his work . He stood beside the window and looked up to the sky .
The dark clouds rolled over his head, as dark as if they were about to drip ink . The sky had become dark before they even realized it, and a silver flash was particularly dazzling among the dark clouds .
Ji Hanwu had a solemn look on his face, because the dragon up there… wasn't his .
“Wow, is that the White Dragon? That's so cool . I wish I also had such a fantastic familiar!” Karen Chen's eyes lit up while she spoke loudly .
Joey Ai, who was behind Karen, had his mouth wide open . His chubby little face was solemn . “Karen, that doesn't look like the White Dragon . ”
Karen looked ridiculed, wearing a face that said, Don't think that you can lie to me like I'm not knowledgeable . I'm a graduate student that has studied abroad!
“If that's not a dragon, then what is it? Go and play with your chicken p.o.o.p, you chubby little kid!”
Joey's face turned red . “No, please don't mention that . ”
The sky changed colors, and the silver light flowed through it . The dark clouds were like a huge whirlpool of swirling ink . In the next moment, a huge dragon head penetrated the dark clouds and overlooked the mountains below .
The surface of the dragon's head was as smooth as a mirror, s.h.i.+ning with silver glints . There were no horns on the top of its head . A trace of starlight glimmered around the dragon's head . Its white eyes contained hints of anger, whereas its head was pet.i.te like a delicate doll .
Gao Peng had his hands behind him when he arrived and saw this scene .
“Ahhm!” A water column rose from the lake . The column rushed up to the sky until it was 3,200 feet tall . There was a white body hidden in the water .
Two dragons? Gao Peng's eyes lit up, and he quickly brought a chair, mineral water, and sunflower seeds out from the research lab .
The White Dragon was hidden in the water column, invisible . It stared at the Silver Dragon above it through the thick water .
When the Silver Dragon descended slowly, Gao Peng noticed that it also had the same number of toes as the White Dragon, three .

[Monster Profile]: The Hornless Silver Dragon was born in the depths of Lake Tai . It is naturally capable of lightning manipulation .
The Hornless Silver Dragon was closing its distance with the White Dragon . The two dragon heads were face to face, almost touching .
Thick clouds rose, and the sky was quickly covered in white mist . Looking from the ground to the sky, nothing could be seen except for the white smog .
Gao Peng was disappointed . He had only just opened the cap of the bottle in his hand .
Is that it? That's it?!?
He grew mad and gulped the whole drink in one go .
