Monster Pet Evolution Chapter 164 Southern Sky Group

A greedy mouth broke through the surface of the river. Streams of water flowed down from the hollowed gaps of the lips, creating multiple waterfalls. The humongous pitch-black mouth looked like an entrance to the depths of hell.

“White Dragon,” Ji Hanwu said casually.

The air froze instantly as if the world had stopped moving.

Accompanied by a crackling dragon roar, a white aquatic dragon’s claws suddenly appeared from the depths of the river. Three dragon claws struck the gigantic mouth and left huge claw marks on it.

Fresh blood burst outward.

Incredible strength tore the gigantic mouth open.

A fog covered the surface of the river, cloaking the river in white mist.

“Again. Every time. There’s fog, and we can’t see the scene of the battle,” the one-eyed general of the Yuzhou military area said with an uninterested expression. He then threw a half-eaten piece of watermelon into the rubbish bin beside him.

After that, he waved his hand and left the monitoring room. “There’s no need to show me the infrared footage anymore, I’m bored of it!”

From afar, the fog covered the area above the river surface, blocking the line of sight. Visibility was less than five meters. On occasion, a huge shadow could vaguely be seen moving through the mists, accompanied by the roars of a dragon and a beast.

After some time, the sound gradually disappeared and calm returned to the river. A white shadow broke through the fog and flew towards Yuzhou City. The fog that covered the surface of the river also gradually vanished. The raging river continued roaring tirelessly.

On the river surface, the remains of a boat that was broken in half were left afloat, slowly sinking downwards…

A huge dark shadow floated on the river surface. Thick pools of fresh blood spread in the water before quickly being washed away by the waves.

In the lower stream of the Yangtze River, two large ships drove towards the area. All the staff on board the vessels wore white work overalls and moved everywhere on the ships. Two words were printed on the sides of the vessels. “Southern Sky.”

Several monkeys with bluish fur and carrying red bags sat on the ships’ edges obediently. They shook their legs cleverly, wearing bell-type headphones while shaking their heads with the beat of the music. They looked extremely happy.

The ships gradually drew closer to the corpse floating in the river. Some staff members waved bamboo poles and hit the edge of the ship.

The blue monkeys obediently took off their headphones and carefully put them inside the red bags on their backs. They bent down and picked up the iron hooks on the edges of the ships, then leaped into the water.

The hooks were connected to thick alloy chains that sunk into the water steadily.

As the aftermath of the earlier battle was too big, no monsters dared to get close to the riverbed.

An employee who had just begun his work on the ship wondered what kind of music these monkeys listened to every day. They were high and energetic the entire day. He picked up a headphone and put it on his head. A familiar tune started ringing in his ear.

“Houge, Houge, you are awesome~ Even the five elements mountain failed to contain you. Out comes a Sun Wukong~”

The song was very catchy. The new employee could not help squinting his eyes before humming along.

In the river, the blue monkeys moved around agilely and keenly avoided several undercurrents. Finally, they swam up beside the monster’s corpse, found a good spot, and firmly fixed the hooks on the joints of the monster’s corpse before pulling at the chains. After confirming that the hooks and chains were firm, the blue monkeys swam to the surface and made a signaling sound.

The ships started moving slowly backward, and the chains extended, making clunking noises.

A few hooks that were not fixed firmly enough broke loose. The blue monkeys signaled to the ships to stop so that they could look for new areas to fix their hooks and chains. After several repeats, all the problems were finally resolved. So, the engines of the ships started.

The corpse of the Lord tier monster gave off a scent that scared away monsters and ensured that they were at least a dozen miles away. The blue monkeys crawled along the chains towards the ship deck. They then gently shook their bodies. The soaked armor-like fur that stuck to their bodies suddenly expanded outwards, releasing a shower of water droplets.

Their external layer of fur was soaked, but the internal layer of fur was still dry.

They put their headphones back on, then laid lazily on the ship deck, listening to the song that kept repeating itself while staring dumbly into the sky.

…

After getting off the plane, Uncle Liu called for the airport transport service, and they headed towards the Southern Sky Group. Otherwise, it would be really inconvenient for them to take a cab with all their familiars.

The Southern Sky Group headquarters was located in a suburban area, surrounded by tens of thousands of acres of land. It consisted not just of huge office buildings but factories as well.

The Southern Sky Group had also constructed some entertainment facilities in the surrounding areas. They used the headquarters of the group as a center that helped the economic development of the entire region.

The car stopped in front of the main entrance of the Southern Sky Group. The driver turned sideways and said helplessly, “I can’t go further; the security of the Southern Sky Group is very strict.”

Uncle Liu chuckled and nodded to indicate that he understood. He then paid and signaled to Gao Peng and the familiars to get out of the car.

The Southern Sky Group was surrounded by tall, thick walls, and a layer of electrified wires wrapped the top of the walls.

A security guard was stationed on each side of the entrance. Beside the security guards were two familiars, which were rare plant familiars. The familiars crawled up the tall metal poles. Their strong, thick vines covered the metal poles like pythons, and on the surface of the vines were large white flower buds. The flower buds were sealed shut, and on the tip of each sealed bud, one could vaguely see a protruding sharp spike.

Gao Peng was left speechless. It seemed a little too wasteful since these plant familiars were Lord tier.

Uncle Liu walked forward and produced a blue identity card from his pocket. He then handed it to the security guard. The security guard swiped the card on a machine.

His face changed color almost immediately. He quickly nodded to Uncle Liu, and at the same time, he opened the large automatic door.

“Let’s go. We’ll go inside first and continue waiting.” Uncle Liu waved to Gao Peng. “Don’t be so formal. Just treat this as your home, alright?”

Gao Peng nodded. “Alright.”

Laughter that someone had failed to contain came from behind them.

Gao Peng turned around and saw a lady in a red dress covering her mouth as she laughed. One could almost see wrinkles in the corner of her eye from her laughter.

The lady should at least be around 27 or 28 years old. Gao Peng thought about it seriously.

“Excuse me.” The face of the woman stiffened as she saw Gao Peng headed towards her. She forced her giggles down as she returned to her previously calm and cold demeanor.

“There’s a waiting room inside the group headquarters. Please wait for me for a while in there. I know I promised to accompany you today, but there’s an emergency at the group…” said a man wearing black casual overalls who stood beside the woman. He looked to be in his thirties.

“Okay, no problem. Work is more important.” The woman nodded and smiled.

After entering the group building, Uncle Liu took Gao Peng around the place twice, before finally going back to the same spot awkwardly.

Cough cough. “It seems like the place has changed a lot in the two years that I’ve been in Chang’an,” Uncle Liu said awkwardly. He ignored the suspicious and vigilant gaze of the security guard at the main entrance and continued leading Gao Peng inside.

“See what I mean? I thought the employee building should be here, but now I don’t think we’ve gone in this direction before. This Old Ji, he’s almost turned the factory into a maze,” Uncle Liu complained.
