Monster Pet Evolution

Xu Qingzhi twisted her mouth with displeasure when she recalled how coldly Gao Peng had treated her just before. She could not have cared any less about him right then.

The tumultuous noise continued for more than ten minutes. Finally, silence once again fell upon the laboratory.

Xu Qingzhi simply waited outside with a paper cup in her hand. She had already drank three cups of water.

Hope everything's all right inside, thought Qingzhi.

The laboratory's spotless white doors were pushed open, and Gao Peng stepped out of the room in a flowing white robe. He then sat down on the sofa and said, "Pour me a cup of water, thanks."

"Oh," said Xu Qingzhi. She poured a cup of water from the water dispenser and handed it to him.

After, she sensed that something wasn't quite right with this picture. I'm your assistant, not your maid! she thought angrily.

"Is the evolution process complete?" asked Xu Qingzhi cautiously.

"Not quite, we'll still need a few more hours," replied Gao Peng. Upon seeing Xu Qingzhi's bored expression, he said, "If you have nothing else to do, you could help me tidy up the freezing chamber."

...

In the Monster Slaughterhouse, all the monster corpses that the Southern Sky Group wanted taken care of were handled.

Every day, lots of monster corpses were processed here. All the meat, blood, and other valuable materials that could be harvested from them were transferred to other processing plants for further processing. The bones that remained were kept inside a huge warehouse.

On that day, all warehouse personnel had been reassigned to other posts. Only Dumby stood in the middle of the warehouse.

Well preserved bones rolled out of a chute and into the warehouse, which was at that moment, filled with the stench of blood.

Dumby stood silently beside the chute, raising its arm when the chute was closed.

Flames began crackling in its skull and then spread across Dumby's arm until they finally pooled in its palm, forming a white, watermelon-sized ball of fire.

Dumby hurled the ball of fire at the pile of bones, which was shattered into pieces in an instant.

The warehouse was once again as silent as a tomb.

After a long while, there was a clatter from the pile of bones. White flames suddenly erupted from it!

Bones now rolled down the bone pile, while skulls' jawbones clacked noisily against their teeth.

Thousands of skeletons were brought back to life inside the warehouse.

The surveillance camera installed on the warehouse's ceiling flashed twice before it went dead. In the surveillance room, the slaughterhouse's supervisor coldly said, "Pretend you didn't see anything just now. From now on, turn off the surveillance cameras every time it's inside the slaughterhouse. Do I make myself clear?"

The security guard nodded obediently.

His wife had a job in the Southern Sky Group, and his daughter was attending a kindergarten which was sponsored by the group as well. He had too much at stake to disobey his superior.

In the warehouse, Dumby straightened its black finger bones and then closed them together.

All of a sudden, the reanimated skeletons collapsed to the ground. White flames emerged from their bones and swirled into a huge ball of fire in the air, which was then absorbed by Dumby's body.

A shiver ran through Dumby's body as the inferno continued to burn in its eye sockets. Its Blood-Thread Heart was thumping heavily against its chest.

After a while, Dumby calmed down, its bones now much shinier than before.

Dumby seemed unperturbed by any of this. It pressed a red button, and what was left of the bone pile exited the warehouse through another chute in the corner.

Twenty minutes later, the chute at the top of the warehouse opened, and a new pile of bones was dumped into the warehouse.

Something hissed inside the laboratory. Gao Peng put down the magazine he was reading and pushed open the laboratory door.

Inside, a purple figure was circling in the air, making loud hissing sounds.

Gao Peng frowned, since the sound was grating on his ears.

"Da Zi, stop."

The figure came to a halt in the air. The hissing sounds had also stopped.

[Monster Name]: Six-winged Thunder Centipede

[Monster Level]: Level 28

[Monster Grade]: Epic

[Monster Attribute]: Electric

[Monster Ability]: Thunder Mastery Level 2

[Monster Weakness]: Its heart lies in its seventh body segment. Hitting it there will render its whole body limp and numb.

[Special Characteristic]: Thunder Wings (Passive effect 1: Increases its speed and wing beat frequency to the point that it can affect its enemies' senses by producing a thunderous noise with its wings. The effect of said noise is dependent on its wing beat frequency.)

(Passive effect 2: The Thunder Wings effect will gradually strengthen all of the monster's wings. At first, it will only have one pair of Thunder Wings. Later on, all three pairs of its wings will be transformed into Thunder Wings. This process is irreversible.The monster's Thunder Wings will become even sturdier and sharper than the wings of other monsters.)

[All Possible Legendary Evolutions]: 1. Dragonblood evolution 2. Storm evolution 3. Darkness evolution 4. Ancestral evolution

So this is Da Zi's new ability, thought Gao Peng.

He closely observed the wings on Da Zi's back. Its front pair of wings seemed quite different from the rest. Its other wings were translucent and as thick as a finger, seeming like they were made of a soft and elastic substance.

However, its front pair of wings were a light golden color. The patterns around the edges of the wings and veins in the middle were a light shade of gold, while the rest of its wings was transparent.

Da Zi's overall appearance had also changed a lot. Its mandibles were more slender and sharper than before, like a pair of long sickles.

And its eyes were cold and black. Its feelers had grown longer as well. Barbs had grown out of Da Zi's leg joints. Its body was now even longer and more elegant than before.

"Looking good, Da Zi," said Gao Peng.

Da Zi clicked its mandibles happily. Power now surged throughout its body. It was sure it had become Gao Peng's strongest familiar!

Then it leapt onto Gao Peng without realizing just how heavy it had become.

Bam!

Gao Peng was completely flattened to the ground by Da Zi.

This was what Xu Qingzhi saw when she entered the laboratory.
