Monster Pet Evolution

Under a small sand dune in the desert in the distance, the Desert Pillar Monster recondensed its body, except that this time, it changed from 160 feet to 16 feet tall.

It was at its weakest condition.

Some looked in the direction they escaped from fearfully. The roars from the mouth of Desert Pillar Monster sounded angry and frustrated. It paced back and forth, but was afraid that the loud sound might be heard by Gao Peng, so it suddenly stopped its roar abruptly.

“Roa… Er…” This funny guy was annoyed that it would be scared of a human being, so while still feeling angry, it knocked its head against the sand dune continuously.

It knocked once, twice, thrice…

“Let’s go first.” Since this Desert Pillar Monster whose brain was rather dumb had been chased away, Gao Peng naturally didn’t want to rest for the night in a small town where a lot of people had just died recently.

This Desert Pillar Monster was rather dumb. The cuties under my care are much more clever than it. In due time after I’ve caught it, I can pass it on to Grandpa. The White Dragon should be able to suppress this dumb*ss, Gao Peng quietly thought.

After rejecting a dinner invitation from the Jinsha District Alliance Government, Gao Peng rushed through the night and continued westward. Unfortunately, Stripey was just too heavy and couldn’t be taken on a plane. Otherwise, it would have been possible to go by plane directly.

However, there was a special flavor in the wild. Gao Peng was taking the road from before the Cataclysm, which was a highway running through the whole mountain. It was just that this road was practically unmanned after the Cataclysm and had become extremely dangerous.

One could see large tree roots penetrating the road, and the once smooth highway was fragmented. Occasionally, small beasts could be seen in the woods.

Stripey rampaged through the woods, its huge body smashing tree after tree along the way, and the trunk that rolled to the foot of the mountain was crushed and milled flat mercilessly.

Places that Stripey had passed through became broad and flat.

A few miles behind Stripey, there were some people mapping and recording on a map.

“It’s just incredible. Is this going to open a road between the Jinsha District and the Yellow Desert Region?” said a surveyor with a worker’s hat excitedly.

There was an assistant busy running around, carrying a measuring instrument in his hand and running continuously to measure the distance.

“Gao Peng, it’s irritating that those people behind us have been with us all the way,” Stripey muttered. Anyone walking in front with a group of people following tightly behind wouldn’t be comfortable.

“It’s all right. If they can really follow us the whole time, it’ll be their achievement.” Gao Peng smiled lightly.

Gao Peng took out some printed material from the portable space and looked through the material again. The information had recorded some messages and photos of the temples there.

One temple was pure white, the white door tightly closed, the surface of the wooden door as bright and new as if someone was always dusting and cleaning. There weren’t any fallen leaves in the garden.

Two rows of tall birch trees were planted outside the temple, and there was a vivid sculpture at the top of the temple. This was a black human figure with arms folded around his chest, his head lowered. The statue was completely dark; even the eyes were pure black.

Gao Peng narrowed his eyes, and familiar data emerged.

[Monster name]: Stone Statue of the Convicted

[Monster Level]: Level 40 (Commander)

[Monster Grade]: Perfect

[Monster Attribute]: Dark

[Monster Weakness]: Radiant

[Monster Skills]: Enhanced Speed Level 1; Strengthened Stone Skin Level 1

[Monster Description]: The stone sculpture at the top of the temple was also affected by the Cataclysm. It loves listening to others read scriptures before it and dislikes others blaspheming the temple.

Once, it was a temple built by the Holy Light Religion. The Holy Light Religion advocated for the color white, so all buildings were covered in white, with white walls, white roofs, white windows.

However, the statue above had become black. Was it because all the black items in the temple were polluted before mutating? Gao Peng’s mind was blown.

“There are treasures, treasures.” The Treasure Sniffing Rodent stood on its two hind legs on the ground, its two front claws hanging in front of its chest and covering it, just like a mole staring wide-eyed at the woods beside it.

Gao Peng put down the information in his hands and asked solemnly, “Are you sure that it’s a treasure that really, really, really attracts you?”

In order not to waste time on the messy treasures of this Treasure Sniffing Rodent, Gao Peng gave it a firm command. Unless it was truly a treasure that touched its heart, not just an ordinary attraction, it shouldn’t interrupt and call him.

“Really, if you don’t believe me, take a look!” The Treasure Sniffing Rodent released its claws covering its chest. In front of its chest, a heart-shaped item was protruding and beating all the way.

“Now, I’m fainting.” When it had finished speaking, the Treasure Sniffing Rodent collapsed on Stripey’s back. Its eyes turned into two lines as saliva dripped from the corner of its mouth.

“…All right, then go and have a look. First, press your heart back,” said Gao Peng.

Stripey, who was moving straight westward, suddenly turned around and rumbled to the north.

The few people following behind looked at each other and asked among themselves, “Why the detour? Didn’t the Secretary say that they had a King tier familiar?” As long as they followed closely, they could safely map out the road.

“Boss, did they discover us, so they’re taking a detour and wish to shake us off?” The surveyor shook his head doubtfully, feeling that things weren’t that simple.

“What kind of treasure is this? It looks like something I have planted at my house,” Gao Peng said, surprised.

“Yes, yes, this belongs to our family.” Da Zi nodded continuously.

“No wonder this looks so familiar. It actually is something from our house.” Goldie reacted much later.

“…”

“Since it’s something that belongs to us, let me take it back.” Goldie nodded firmly.

After speaking, Goldie stepped forward. Two blue tattoos spread from the oblique side of its cheek to the underside of its eyelids. It gently rubbed its bald head and the chain that it was carrying rang.

With a slide of its palm, it grabbed the ax. Goldie rushed forward with both its axes.

In front of it was a boulder protruding from the jungle with a red mushroom growing on it. On the surface of the mushroom was a strange pattern that looked like a sly demon smiling.

Next to the boulder was a black hole, from which a green centipede crawled out. The centipede’s body was covered with white fluff, its claws were red, and it looked very poisonous.

Upon seeing Goldie come forward, the first few green centipedes were panicky and turned back to the hole quickly, squealing loudly. Then, more and more green centipedes crawled out continuously, and they huddled together into a group.

Goldie snorted coldly and released its Lord-tier aura.

The green centipedes that had huddled into a group scattered and escaped in a panic, disappearing instantly, leaving behind the so-called guarded treasure that they had supposedly been protecting.

With arrogance, Goldie went up and took the stone directly with the mushroom. After Goldie was far away, the green centipedes crawled back helplessly, circling around the potholes left by the previous boulder.

A group of sneaky figures came from the same direction as Gao Peng… after he had been gone for some time.
