Monster Pet Evolution

“The final material is the Essence of the Undying Heart. As long as I can discover the Essence of the Undying Heart, I’ll have all the materials to upgrade Dumby to the Mythical grade.” Gao Peng smiled.

“The Essence of the Undying Heart can be found in the Black Fog world, but it may be more difficult for you. This thing isn’t big or small, and monsters that really need this material will search for it desperately, yet those that don’t need this material also consider it treasure,” said the Desolate Frost Lion after some thought.

“The function of this material is to purify the filth of the soul. It can further cleanse the soul. Some monsters that emphasize the purity of the soul like this material very much.” The Desolate Frost Lion licked the corner of its mouth. “Give me another piece of the biscuit now.”

Gao Peng took a white wafer biscuit out of the box. The biscuit was white with some small white pieces on it.

Da Zi rolled its eyes. How naive! It hadn’t even eaten iced milk biscuits before. What a country bumpkin! Strangely, Da Zi began to have a surge of self-confidence from the bottom of its heart.

Loathing. A sense of loathing came from the depth of its soul. It was the sense of superiority from a tiny urban-born centipede over a lion that came from a village in the wild.

The Desolate Frost Lion licked the biscuits with its small pink tongue wearing a pleased look, its eyes forming two crescents.

“Hmph! Damned rubbish, only knows how to act cute.” Dazi laughed coldly.

The Desolate Frost Lion lifted its head without getting angry, blinking its big sapphire eyes that seemed to talk.

“All right. Let’s go to St. Jelem City first. This trip may be further, but if anywhere could produce the Essence of the Undying Heart, St. Jelem would be the place.” Gao Peng squinted his eyes. Fortunate death? Gao Peng found it hard to imagine what kind of large scale death would be to be able to produce a sense of fortune.

After mulling it over for a while, he concluded that it was probable that when a certain life no longer feared death and viewed it as a lofty ideal, they wouldn’t fear death and might even embrace death.

St. Jelem was located in the western part of the Yellow Desert Region, and it was the capital of the Yellow Desert Nation.

Before the Cataclysm, St. Jelem had been a famous religious city. It had been host to a vast quantity of religious belief from believers around the world.

A hundred years ago, there had even been a large-scale collective pilgrimage that shocked the world—a total of 50,000 sacred believers of “Holy Light” gathered from all over the world to collectively sacrifice themselves.

The violent flames burned for two hours before they diminished. Later, the area where the sacrifice took place was restricted. Much later, a temple was built, and finally, it became a famous tourist attraction in the area.

“According to the information obtained, the temple mutated six months ago. Every night, white light was emitted from the temple. There were rumors of the sounds of people reading scriptures, as well.

“It’s possible that there will be an Essence of the Undying Heart,” said the Desolate Frost Lion vaguely while eating the biscuits.

“Right. We’ll pass by the Jinsha Region during our journey to the Yellow Desert Region, and the headquarters of the Golden Hands is in the Jinsha Regino.” Gao Peng’s eyes were flashing dangerously. “We’ll also visit an old friend.”

Gao Peng was very vengeful. Until that point, he still remembered the rifle that had hit him in between the eyebrows.

As the saying went, it wasn’t too late for a gentleman to take revenge, even after a decade. Ten years was too long. If he really had to wait so long, Gao Peng might suffer from insomnia.

“You’re going to St. Jelem? Why do you want to travel so far? You’re not familiar with the place or the people there, and you don’t have many friends there, either.” Ji Hanwu frowned, but he knew that he couldn’t persuade his grandson. “Oh, never mind, you’re an adult now. You decide your own matters. Just be careful on the road, and don’t starve yourself. In addition, when you’re outside alone, be fiercer. If you look weak on the surface when you’re alone out there, it’ll be easy for others to mistake you as being easy to bully. I’ve asked someone to handle the corpse that you brought back. We’ll give Goldie some equipment later.”

Equipment? After a while, a truck from outside stopped at the entrance. Ji Hanwu went out and brought back two sharp fighting axes.

The axes were bigger than a table, and the sharp axes held two troughs of blood. One part of the ax blade was augmented to weigh more so that it could exert more force when waved.

There were recessed holes in the handle of the axes that allowed the fingers to reach in. Furthermore, there were dense and coarse particles that could prevent a grip from slipping. These were two big and lethal weapons.

Gao Peng felt like these axes looked familiar…”I feel like I’ve seen these axes somewhere before.”

“It’s the ax from the arm of the Labyrinth Watcher that you brought back. It looked very handy to me, so I let the lab disassemble and modify them.”

Goldie walked forward and took a look at these two axes, then lifted one and waved it twice. In a normal situation, the size of these two axes looked rather large but with Goldie, they seemed small.

After waving it twice, Goldie threw the axes away with flagging interest as it shook its head. “It’s too light, just too light. Old Dragon King, is there something heavier?”

Gao Peng’s face darkened. Did you recently watch Journey to the West again without permission?!

“There are only two, Goldie. Take care of them properly for me.”

Goldie licked its mouth, but still honestly put the two axes behind its shoulders. There was a chain at the bottom of both axes. Goldie wrapped the chain around its chest two times.

The dark silver chain was tied to its body, and its bare head was covered in a strange blue pattern. As it carried the two giant axes behind its back, it looked quite cute.

“There are more than a dozen boxes of food and water in the car. Remember to put it in the space,” Grandpa reminded.

“Little Peng is going out?” Uncle Liu, who strolled over at night hoping to get a free meal, heard that Gao Peng was going out, so he quickly arranged for someone to transport a large amount of food to Gao Peng and put it into Silly’s portable space.

“You must remember to eat until you’re full,” Uncle Liu nagged with much effort and patience. “Is this truckload sufficient? If it’s not enough, I’ll have them transport two more trucks here.”

“No… This is enough…” Gao Peng was speechless. I myself am not a rice pail.

The familiars above Lord-tier could absorb the elements in the air to maintain their daily activities, and they could also absorb the elements from various materials rich in elements to “satiate” themselves, just like high-energy compressed biscuits. Therefore, the appetite of those Lord-tier monsters wasn’t as large as one would imagine.

This was also the reason why Stripey was so large but could still maintain daily activities. It was because Stripey was constantly absorbing vast amounts of earth elements deep in the earth, some of which helped maintain its daily activities, while others were stored as reserves for its upgrade.

After packing up, Gao Peng led his team of familiars to embark on a journey to the West. From the Huaxia District to the west was the Red Sea District, passing through the Red Sea District and continuing westward through the Golden Sand District to reach the Yellow Desert District.

The three large regions covered several thousand miles, passing through various terrains such as wetlands, hills, and deserts.
