章 172: Here, She Is Free

"Is the duration of the scales' effect unlimited?" Gao Peng asked further.

"Of course not. The scales can repel monsters because they give off the scent of His Excellency, King Red Carp. After being used for some time, the scent will naturally become faint," explained the elderly man matter-of-factly. "We don't have to give many monsters as tribute, and one scale can be used for one year."

Gao Peng nodded. This King Red Carp was pretty intelligent. It knew how to obtain freebies. And with this, it did not even need to tire itself every day to hunt for food. Humans would naturally go up to offer it food. All it had to do in return was shed scales that it did not need anymore.
