Monster Pet Evolution

Accompanied by a rustling sound, the thick sand formed waterfalls that piled into dunes on the ground.

“Give us your harvest, and we’ll spare your lives!” said the closest Hundred Wither without emotion.

“How… troublesome.” Gao Peng frowned. He had killed off the little monsters, but here came the big ones. This was the Hundred Withers’ den, so he couldn’t stay for long.

Twenty Hundred Withers surrounded them from all sides. It seemed like they wouldn’t enter the red desert because of some taboo.

“It’s right in my hand. If you want it, get your a** over here!!!” Goldie said pompously as it slammed its giant axe into the sand and took a step forward.

Although Goldie had an imposing appearance, these Hundred Withers weren’t scared off.

Instead, seven Hundred Withers stepped forward.

Without any delay, Goldie yelled and swung the divine axe in its hand.

The divine axe radiated in the air with terrifying Divine Power. Layer upon layer of light rings spread outwards.

Roaring flames covered Goldie. At this moment, Goldie looked like a warrior god who had walked out of a fire.

The terrifying flames layered over the shadow made by the axe.

Under the Hundred Withers’ manipulation, the sand in the desert rose and formed barriers. The seven creatures formed 20 barriers at once, while at the same time, the 13 Hundred Withers who hadn’t stepped out attacked.

The desert barriers closed over Goldie like half of an eggshell. The divine axe chopped at the shell, emitting a snap.

All of the desert barriers shook. The divine axe shattered 16 layers, but four remained. However, in a blink, the 16 layers all reformed.

With a resounding boom, a vibrant blue light exploded behind Goldie, and a chilly wind swept over the entire desert.

Along with cracking sounds, a large area of the desert was frozen. At the same time, the divine axe, which was burning with flames, cut through 20 barriers, creating a red arc that aimed at the seven closest Hundred Withers.

Blood sprayed everywhere. The seven Hundred Withers were instantly badly injured, fleeing into the desert and not daring to come back out.

“There’s no need to talk morality and justice with these monsters. Guys, follow me,” Goldie said righteously with the axe on its shoulder.

After a moment of silence, the remaining Hundred Withers dispersed backward, leaving a large clear area in their wake.

“They’ve yielded. They’re letting us leave,” said the King of Robotics.

Gao Peng didn’t know if there were any hidden treasures in the depths of the desert. If these Hundred Withers had yielded, then Gao Peng wasn’t going to chase after them. He signaled for the familiars to leave the Northern Desert.

Goldie’s attack had seriously frightened those Hundred Withers.

As a Mythical-grade Quasi God’s strength who had a Weapon-type divine artifact, any Quasi God who didn’t have a special attribute and high-level characteristics would be crushed when facing Goldie.

“Master, these two corpses have been decomposed.” Dark Child’s voice was filled with irrepressible excitement.

Gao Peng’s expression shifted. Could it have decomposed something good?

Usually Dark Child only took this tone when it had decomposed something good.

Dark Child took out a blue amber from behind itself; in the amber was a solidified blue spike.

[Item Name]: Devil-Thorn Storm-Off Core

[Item Effect]: After a familiar eats it, it has the chance to obtain a new special characteristic—Devil-Thorn Storm-Off.

Devil-Thorn Storm-Off Core! Gao Peng recalled the Cursed God whose back had been full of spikes like a porcupine. It had also had five chainlike scorpion-like tails.

This characteristic had a strong effect, as it was the equivalent of having two additional methods of attacking and defending. When the Devil-Thorn Storm-Off pierced an opponent’s body, it had a temporary confinement effect.

Of course, it came with disadvantages too, since the user’s appearance would change drastically.

“There’s more.” Dark Child put the Devil-Thorn Storm-Off Core aside, then took out another, similar-looking gem.

[Item Name]: Eye of Vanity Core

[Item Effect]: After a familiar eats it, it has the chance to obtain a new special characteristic—Eye of Vanity. (Eye of Vanity Effect: Chance of predicting an opponent’s attack during battle.)

The King of Robotics turned around and sensed Gao Peng’s breath quicken.

Gao Peng turned around and said with a smile, “We’re almost home. I’m a little excited.”

The King of Robotics nodded, withdrawing its gaze.

Eye of Vanity was a true master-level skill! To ordinary monster trainers, special characteristics may have just been simple characteristics, so anything was good. But to Gao Peng, special characteristics had rankings, too.

Not all characteristics added to a familiar’s combat capacity equally. Some promoted a familiar’s strength by a lot, others, by less, and different special characteristics could combine. They could even have the frightening effect of one plus one equals 100.

For instance, if a certain monster’s first special characteristic was Bloodbath Rebirth, each time it died and was revived, it permanently doubled all of the monster’s current qualities.

This ability was extremely useless. Revival-type abilities were extremely rare, so this ability might not be triggered even once in a lifetime, but if this monster’s second special characteristic was Holy Glory, with an effect that took place within a month of its death, the monster would be revived in the same spot. However, this ability could not be multiplied. Only after the monster died and was revived could there be the next round of cooling down and refreshing.

When these two characteristics were combined, the monster had infinite possibilities. Even if it only had these two characteristics, even if it was only Legendary-grade, in some ways, it had exceeded the Mythical or even Eternal grade.

This Eye of Vanity was a high-tier special characteristic.

During the Cursed God’s previous battle against the five rascals, one could tell that it wasn’t at a disadvantage, even against five Quasi Gods at their peak for a short while.

But who should he give this characteristic to…? Gao Peng first crossed out Goldie.

This type of ability was similar to battle sensing and most suitable for a close-combat familiar that fought against many, since it would face the most attacks at the frontline. But Goldie’s combat style required it to bear to most violent beating… If it dodged all the attacks, how could it multiply its passive effects? Aside from Goldie, none of the other familiars seemed to have a special need for this characteristic.

Gao Peng rubbed his forehead. No rush. He would give it some more thought. Maybe he could go back and ask Grandpa to see if he could give him some suggestions. “Are there any more Special Characteristics?”

Dark Child shook its head regretfully. “Nope, but there’s still this!” Dark Child took out an enormous ball of golden light from behind.

The dazzling Divine Essence nearly blinded Gao Peng. It was the Divine Essence that could allow Quasi God-tier familiars to promote quickly.

Gao Peng was ecstatic. It was such a big ball of Divine Essence that if he gave it all to one familiar, that familiar would probably reach the God tier.

“And God Spirit Essence.” Dark Child took out a ball of God Spirit Essence the size of a volleyball. “God Tier Meat Essence, Chaotic Divine Power Essence.”

The items were spread out in a row before Dark Child.
