Monster Pet Evolution Chapter 537 - Deep Sea Island

Stripey only fully recovered from its wounds after a month of recuperation. After the recovery, Gao Peng spent the next few months hunting by the sea.

As this place was connected to the sea and near the plains, the diversity of the monsters there was better than other places. It also helped the altar with decomposing, as the monster’s corpses could be used fully.

It could have been that the sea monsters, or the monsters there that lived in the sea, had stronger resistance to water elements. Therefore, many water-resistant elements had been decomposed, and Gao Peng gave all his familiars the fruit of these water-resistant elements to eat.

In the past few months, the tiers of Gao Peng’s familiars had increased at varying degrees.

The most obvious improvement in strength was Stripey. From Level 59 to Level 61, it was Gao Peng’s third Emperor-tier monster. The lower the level of the monster, the greater the growth. However, Da Zi was already at Level 69. The environment wasn’t very conducive for it to grow rapidly.

Gao Peng rested his hands behind him. Stubble had grown on his jaw, his eyebrows were thick, and his nose was sharp. His disposition now was much more imposing compared to a year earlier when he had first gone to the Black Fog World.

The other familiars had also seen some changes. The wilderness was the best place to train monsters. When masters held Blood Contracts over them, these monsters became familiars, but without the constrains of a Blood Contract, these were just primitive wild monsters.

The experience in the past half a year had simply been to activate their pre-existing animal instincts.

As the tides rose and fell, and the sound of the waves interweaved with the rolling waves, Goldie’s strong body was bobbing with the waves. Between its strong arms, one could see a large struggling fish, the head clutched in a headlock with its elbow. Goldie slapped the skull of the big fish, and it stopped struggling.

“Gao Peng, we have dinner.” Goldie pulled out a Ming Emperor Fish from the sea with its wet bare arms and strode toward the meteor.

“You, young fellow… are so eager to try out your newly acquired skill,” Gao Peng jokingly reprimanded. “Fine, we’ll have this tonight. Go clean up the fish and slice it.”

Yesterday, a newly captured monster had decomposed. From its body, a tough Level 4 outer skin ability fruit was cultivated. As Goldie was hairless and scaleless, it was suitable for this ability. It was just yesterday that Goldie had been given the fruit. That day, the creature had already gone to into the sea to kill monsters.

The past six months had been filled with endless killing and decomposing monsters. The altar had a major role to play in the growth of Goldie and the other familiars, but Gao Peng had always wanted to have a water familiar. It wasn’t that he didn’t see any King-tier water monsters. In fact, he had even seen an Emperor-tier monster. Unfortunately, the Emperor-tier one was only of the Normal grade, and its abilities weren’t impressive, so Gao Peng was too lazy to try and capture it. He watched it from afar and let it swim off.

Gao Peng certainly didn’t want to have a Water-type monster and then have to painfully continue grooming it. Ideally, to save time, the monster would be in good fighting form immediately after signing the contract.

With the increasing levels and grades of his familiars, Gao Peng’s remaining Soul Power was barely sufficient to sign on an Emperor-tier monster, even if the level wasn’t too high. At most, Level 62 or 63 would be acceptable.

But this was just the coast, and it was already rare to see King-tier monsters. If one wanted to meet a high-quality Emperor-tier monster, they would probably have to go deep into the sea.

Now, Gao Peng was just considering just that. To go into the sea, most of the familiars would have to be kept into the s.p.a.ce, and this would delay their progress, but if he didn’t go out to sea, he would likely have to wait until the end of time to meet the right monster in the shallow waters.

As the Earth Star was 70% water, it was necessary to sign a high combat power water familiar. Many a time, having a familiar that was good at naval warfare would make things much easier.

Since it’s decided… let’s just do it!

Gao Peng was very decisive. After dinner, he kept the familiars in the s.p.a.ce, then sat on Da Zi and flew towards the deep sea.

Gao Peng hadn’t been idle for the past half a year. He had familiarized himself with the surrounding terrain thoroughly, with the exception of the deep sea, and that was because there was no point of reference, making it too difficult to record.

Gao Peng remembered flying with Da Zi once and seeing a black spot far away. It seemed to be an island, but when he went back later, he couldn’t find the island. He thought he might have misremembered it.

Their flight lasted for half a day. Never before had it taken them so long to get somewhere. Land had disappeared from sight ten minutes into the trip, and now there was a boundless stretch of ocean all around. Occasionally, some monsters jumped out of the water and set off turbulent waves.

Gao Peng saw a black dot far away in front of him and to the right. Gao Peng patted Da Zi’s head. “Let’s check that out.”

When Gao Peng was closer, he could see that it was a rock island that existed in the middle of the ocean. The water level in this area was very shallow. From the sky, one could see the seabed and large reefs at the bottom. At the back was an island about a thousand square feet wide. The island didn’t have many plants and was filled almost completely with bare rocks.

There were some birds on the island nesting. In the sky, a white bird was hovering. It swept across the sea and caught a fish.

Gao Peng was very careful. Only after he had observed the island and confirmed that it was just an ordinary rock island did he allow Da Zi to land. When Da Zi landed on the island, the white birds on the island made threatening sounds, and without any fear, attacked Da Zi.

A big white bird with blue light on its beak dashed towards Da Zi like a cannonball. Da Zi swept it away with its big purple tail, but behind it were many more white birds fearlessly rus.h.i.+ng forward.

“Aren’t they afraid of dying?” Da Zi frowned.

Gao Peng took a glance at the eggs in the nests on the rocks, paused for a moment, and said, “They should be afraid of death… Come on, let’s land slightly more to the south.”

After landing on the island, the big white birds on the other side kept jumping and making threatening sounds. Upon seeing that Gao Peng didn’t come any closer, the shrieks of the big white birds eased quite a bit.

Da Zi stomped its feet to test the strength of the rocks under it. The rocks looked hard, but they were actually brittle, so Gao Peng couldn’t release Stripey.

Gao Peng looked towards the big white birds and suddenly exclaimed softly. He had actually spotted an Epic-grade white bird.

[Monster Name]: Qingbai Wind Bird

[Monster Grade]: Epic

[Monster Level]: Level 45

[Special Characteristics]: Roaring Wind (It can swallow wind, spit waves, and create a strong wind and tough gra.s.s.

Pa.s.sive Effect 1: Each time the wind element is used, its speed will increase, and the speed of the wind element will also increase. There is a maximum of up to nine layers that can be stacked.

Pa.s.sive Effect 2: When using the wind element, it will be easier to break through the water’s surface.)

It was truly rare that he hadn’t met an Epic-grade water monster along the way, but instead saw an Epic-grade white bird.
