Monster Pet Evolution Chapter 608 - Tend to the Fire

“Little sister, what is this look for?” Goldie slapped the Nethermost Peac.o.c.k on the face.

The Nethermost Peac.o.c.k bowed her head in humiliation.

“Your brother, I, Goldie, had yet to lift a finger.” Goldie rubbed his bald head in arrogance. “If I were to fight you, you would lose more than an eye. You would minimally lose an arm or a leg.”

After speaking, Goldie turned his head and said to Gao Peng and Dumby, “Am I right, Commander Gao, Brother Dumby?”

The Desolate Frost Lion was feeling incredible. In the past, when he fought the Nethermost Peac.o.c.k, he was almost killed. Fortunately, there were other monsters to help distract the firepower. At that time, this bird was not even an Overlord Tier monster.

The Desolate Frost Lion could still remember that there was no Overlord Tier in the Black Phoenix Mountain Range in the past. There also had not been an Overlord Tier dominator. However, aside from the Overlord Tier, there were dozens of Emperor Tier monsters, so that situation was similar to “warlords fighting for hegemony.” It was then that the Nethermost Peac.o.c.k emerged on top.

In all honesty, he didn’t know how the bird came about. She appeared out of the blue in Black Phoenix Mountain Range and suddenly started attacking other monsters. In just a few years, she created a mess in the Black Phoenix Mountain Range.

Nethermost Peac.o.c.k grew stronger and stronger. One day, she broke through to Overlord Tier.

Back then, the legendary grade Desolate Frost Lion was touted to be the most promising Emperor Tier monster for a breakthrough. He also thought that himself. No one expected the Nethermost Peac.o.c.k to secretly breakthrough.

Naturally, the Desolate Frost Lion could not bear it. He sneakily called seven other Emperor Tier monsters to encircle and attack the Nethermost Peac.o.c.k. It ended with them being killed off one by one. The Nethermost Peac.o.c.k had shown her prowess and destroyed all her enemies.

The Desolate Frost Lion had been lucky enough to be sidelined. But, he could not remain in the Black Phoenix Mountain Range. He found an opportunity to escape and s.n.a.t.c.hed the Desolate Labyrinth. He wanted to use the labyrinth to lie dormant and then attack after it broke through to an Overlord Tier.

Eventually, he was almost a.s.sa.s.sinated by a certain monster. If he had not used his life preservation ability to force the enemy away, he might have been successfully killed. Due to the use of his life preservation ability, he hibernated for a while, leading to his strength not increasing but degenerating.

The desolate frost lion clearly remembered that the fellow who a.s.sa.s.sinated him was this Nethermost Peac.o.c.k. When he thought of that, the Desolate Frost Lion grew more unhappy. He smacked his claw on the head of the Nethermost Peac.o.c.k and almost gave her a concussion.

“Too weak,” the lion snorted coldly. “After all these years, you haven’t made much progress. I’m already at level 78. Yet, you’re still at level 77.”

The Desolate Frost Lion suddenly felt that signing a blood contract with Gao Peng was the wisest choice of his life. Although Gao Peng could sometimes be unreliable, he could be relied upon on most occasions. At least under his guidance, he rapidly grew in strength.

Goldie and the Desolate Frost Lion took turns ridiculing the Nethermost Peac.o.c.k.

“Just kill me. Insulting me won’t make you much of a hero,” the Nethermost Peac.o.c.k loudly said.

“Then, I will fulfill your wishes.” The Desolate Frost Lion smirked and placed its claws on its neck. All it had to do was pierce its throat with a little force.

“Wait, I am joking.” The Nethermost Peac.o.c.k suddenly backtracked.

She thought of the three little Nethermost Peac.o.c.ks that were still in the volcano. If she died, they wouldn’t be able to survive the cruel Black Phoenix Mountain Range. Countless monsters wanted to eat them.

“Oh?” The desolate frost lion sneered.

He didn’t want to listen to any explanation. With his newfound hatred adding onto his old grudge, all he wanted now was to kill the bird.

“I am the king of the Black Phoenix Mountain Range,” Nethermost Peac.o.c.k solemnly said. “Whatever I say in Black Phoenix Mountain Range goes. I can help you control the range. To re-cultivate another monster as king of the Black Phoenix Mountain range would be time-consuming and laborious. It is definitely better to have a ready-made one. Aren’t you humans looking to benefit?”

Gao Peng couldn’t help but give it a second thought. This Nethermost Peac.o.c.k was pretty smart.

To stop the Desolate Frost Lion, Gao Peng said, “No, no, the restaurant I own still requires a cook. You can go tend to the fire.”

Without giving the Nethermost Peac.o.c.k any explanation, Gao Peng had Dumby drag her away. After sensing Dumby’s terrifying aura, a Saint Tier, the Nethermost Peac.o.c.k was utterly crushed.

Reminded that she might be gone for a very long time, she screeched, “Wait a minute!”

Upon seeing everyone turn their head, the Nethermost Peac.o.c.k hardened her heart. She knew she couldn’t leave her nestlings in the volcano. Leaving them temporarily was fine, but if time dragged on, there would be trouble.

“I still have three descendants in the crater of the Black Phoenix Mountain range.” After she uttered the sentence, she seemed to be drained of her strength

Gao Peng looked at her again. So, she was a single mother. It was no wonder she was afraid of dying.

“Alright, Dumby, accompany her back for a while,” Gao Peng said. “Remember, the restaurant still needs a cook to help with the fire tonight.”

After the Nethermost Peac.o.c.k and Dumby flew a distance away, Xu Qingyu whispered, “Young Master, she surrendered because she has young nestlings. Since you already have a handle over her, why not directly…”

“No need.” Gao Peng waved his hands. “Conquering a monster is more than forcefully training it with your fist. That may lead to disgruntlement First, you must tone down its arrogance and find a use for it.”

In the evening, Dumby and the Nethermost Peac.o.c.k returned from the Black Phoenix Mountain Range. Standing on the back of the Nethermost Peac.o.c.k were three small confused little birds. They huddled together, trembling and looking at the strangers around.

From among the cl.u.s.ter of vigilant and angry eyes, Gao Peng picked up the fattest baby. These little peac.o.c.ks had well-grown dark feathers. They looked like a slender crow. Though it was still a baby, its size was that of a goose.

“Let me go, let me go, or I’ll let my mother beat the s.h.i.+t out of you,” the little peac.o.c.k angrily said.

“Dang.” Gao Peng flicked its little brain. “Any more nonsense and I’ll eat you. Goldie come over here!”

Simply seeing Goldie, a terrifying bald creature, striding over was enough to shut the little peac.o.c.k up. After a while, Gao Peng felt the little peac.o.c.k trembling in his hand.

“Does anyone want this little bird?” Gao Peng asked Xu Qingzhi and the rest.

Upon hearing Gao Peng’s inquiries, there was some interest. This was, after all, nestlings from an Overlord monster. As long as it was cultivated, it had the potential to grow into an Overlord monster.

After glancing at the Nethermost Peac.o.c.k hesitantly, Xu Qingzhi ran to the little peac.o.c.k and touched its head. He whispered, “Would you like to follow me?”

The little bird was naturally not willing. But, it saw a look of warning in its mother’s eyes. With tear-filled eyes, it could only reluctantly nod.
