Monster Pet Evolution Chapter 344 – Spa of the Ocean

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

It was as if a behemoth that had been buried deep in the sea for hundreds of millions of years had finally been unsealed and was now descending on mankind.

The giant sea monster buried in the depths trembled gradually. It brought with it a terrifying aura and earth-shattering waves that rumbled and rolled.

Rumble.

The waves rolled. Large sheets of seawater shot down from the black rock surface of the vertical and horizontal edges like a waterfall.

Light yellow, dark green, and pinkish white colors were interwoven with the still light gray color to form a vast, colorful scene.

The moment the creature emerged from the water, a buzzing sound could be heard. Some of the normal humans covered their ears and stumbled to the ground. It was as if hundreds of thousands of bees were buzzing around their ears.

The sea water fluctuated, causing undulating waves. There was an endless violent trembling. Waves kept splashing on the surface of the sea.

At first glance, it looked as if thousands of fish were tumbling and jumping on the surface.

“What is this…” someone muttered in horror.

“This thing can’t be a monster, right?”

Gao Peng took a deep breath and stared intensely at the actual body of the behemoth that had just emerged from the sea.

A row of data quickly came into Gao Peng’s vision.

[Monster Name]: King Coral Monster

[Monster Level]: Level 51 (King-tier)

[Monster Grade]: Perfect

[Monster Attribute]: Water/Earth

[Monster Skills]: Enhanced Reproduction Level 3, Accelerated Regeneration Level 2, Hard Body Level 3, Enhanced Spirit Level 4, Water Mastery Level 3, Earth Mastery Level 3

[Special Characteristics]: Coral Waters (The King Coral Monster’s body is made up of living and dead coral. Each mutated coral has a special physiological structure. They can create an environment that is slightly beneficial to aquatic organisms around them.

Effect One (Passive): Numerous marine organisms gathers together to form a super large area that exists around the body of the King Coral Monster. All recognized water type monsters within its boundary experience positive effects like gradual recovery from wounds and diseases, and at the same time, they also obtain a happy and comfortable status.

Effect Two (Active): Can initiate to consume some of the organisms around it and provide enhanced healing to a specified target. However, the target must be near the King Coral Monster.

[Monster Weakness]: 1. It cannot go on land. Once it leaves a water environment, it will wither gradually and lose its vitality, then eventually fall into a deep slumber. 2. It isn’t very slow, but it isn’t agile. 3. It lacks the ability to accurately attack and harm a target.

[Monster Description]: Coral reefs are made up of countless corals, and the dead bodies of organisms become coral reefs. The parasitic actinozoa on the coral reefs eject a large number of young bodies at intervals. These young life forms rapidly evolve into new coral polyps in the water and then build new communities on the edges of coral reefs to form a new reef, expanding their boundaries. This process happens countless times, year after year, layer after layer. The new generation of actinozoa will keep expanding on the previous generation, eventually growing into a behemoth. One day, this behemoth will suddenly become an intelligent sentient creature with consciousness. The constant pollution humans pour into the sea has caused the King Coral Monster to hate humans.

It was just as Gao Peng had predicted. Such a large creature had probably evolved from a collection of sentient creatures or from a non-sentient object.

If a living organism possessed such a huge body mass, then its real strength could probably reach a terrifying level.

If that were the case, he, Da Zi, and the others wouldn’t be able to return to shore alive.

Such a large creature would only need to stand up and they could be smacked to death like mosquitos.

The King Coral Monster’s strength wasn’t attacking. A King-tier monster that was only at Level three in elementary mastery ability wasn’t even a match for Lord-tier monsters that had a better mastery of the elements.

What made it scary was its reproductive capabilities and communicative abilities. It was akin to being a very good support to the monsters on the front lines.

If someone could conquer this monster, they could build a headquarters directly on its back that could be compared to an island. They could recruit large numbers of flying and marine monsters, and they would then be able to move unhindered across the entire ocean… probably.

To put it more accurately, it was basically an aircraft carrier.

By itself, it didn’t have any fighting capabilities, but it could act as a mobile fortress of war and a form of support for rest, training, and backup.

Gao Peng was a bit jealous. The amount of soul power one needed to sign a Blood Contract with a King-tier monster was enormous.

It was a pity that this monster had a strong prejudice against humans. The energy needed to get it to sign the Blood Contract was too great. With that effort, I could train an Emperor-tier familiar that’s already loyal to me. I don’t need it at all, Gao Peng thought wistfully.

“What the hell is this? An island?” one of the military personnel was stunned.

“No. I think it’s a coral reef.”

“A coral reef? Are you telling me that this coral reef mountain has become sentient?”

“Even the things inside the Yungang Grottoes could become sentient. What’s so strange about coral reefs becoming sentient?!” an old scholar in white coat refuted, his neck thick and red.

“What you said sounds reasonable.”

“But a coral reef becoming sentient… What are its powers? With its size, it must be something terrifying, right?!”

“Not necessarily.” Nobody knew when Gao Peng had arrived beside the person who had just spoken. “Size doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s powerful. If it were really that powerful, why would it need such a large number of the nearby sea monsters to attack us? It would’ve rushed onto land and exterminated us a long time ago. With its size, it would be able to do anything it wanted on land. So why doesn’t it come ashore? It means that it isn’t able to go on land or that it would need to pay a hefty price.”

When the Yan Cheng military officials heard what Gao Peng said, they became silent. Some of them started to think.

“It probably has the ability to control or charm the sea monsters!” Yang Ku’s eyes lit up. Then he frowned. “If it has such an ability, it wouldn’t need to float to the surface and expose itself. It could’ve just hidden somewhere safe. It probably has offensive abilities, but probably not as strong as we thought.”

In a short period of time, Yang Ku had already made such a detailed analysis. A person who was able to become the commander-in-chief of the Yangcheng Military Region was definitely no fool. He was definitely the best of the best among his peers.

“Coral reefs have been called the spas of the ocean. Many carnivorous fish go to coral reefs to get all kind of massages. It’s also called the father of the ocean,” Gao Peng said with a serious expression on his face.

Yang Ku nodded thoughtfully.

“My familiar killed a Lord-tier electric eel just now. Eels are a type of fish that like to stay in coral reefs. Stingrays are another kind of fish that like to get massages at coral reefs. Fish like the Nurse Holacanthus Venustus and Doctor Butterfly Fishes both depend on coral reefs for survival. The fish I encountered the other day was a giant oceanic manta ray, so my guess is that the monster coral reef has the ability to manipulate all these kinds of fish.”

Yang Ku heard what Gao Peng said and lifted his head. He saw a duck behind Gao Peng who was working very hard to get a 65-foot-long electric eel on shore. It walked two steps, got tired, took a breath, and then continued carrying it.
