Monster Pet Evolution Chapter 606 – The Attack of the Nethermost Peacock

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

The Nethermost Peacock was the king and hegemon of the Black Phoenix Mountain Range. Through the years, many monsters wanted to compete for her position but eventually ended up as black ashes at the bottom of the volcano.

Her naturally strong possessiveness made her intolerable to other monsters eyeing her territory. She would not tolerate any threat. Any new overlord tier monster in the Black Phoenix Mountain Range would be eliminated. After she killed the other monsters, she would declare that they had wanted to challenge her.

She wouldn’t kill the threat when the monsters were King Tier because she wanted to groom them. An Overlord Tier core crystal would provide greater benefits.

Two years ago, human Monster Trainers entered the Black Phoenix Mountain Range area. At that time, the Nethermost Peacock thought they were as insignificant as ants, so she did not bother with them. What one could easily squash with a finger was not worthy of attention.

As time went by, human behavior gradually drew her vigilance. The Monster Trainers were growing faster than she had expected. The monsters on the edge of the Black Phoenix Mountains Range were constantly being hunted.

Although many high-level monsters were no less intelligent than humans, IQ and wisdom were two different things. The sneaky humans would use various traps. They also knew how to cooperate and ambush. As long as the difference in strength was not too vast, it was not too difficult to hunt monsters.

In addition to hunting monsters, some humans entered the mountains to steal treasures. Even if a batch was killed, there would be a steady stream of them still coming.

After many monsters had been slain, the monsters became smarter. But, it was unknown why the humans were so stubborn or what gave them such courage.

The Nethermost Peacock subconsciously regarded the entire Black Phoenix Mountains range as hers, including all the monsters and treasures. An occasional loss was acceptable. If one came often to snatch gratuitously, then it was simply pushing it.

These human actions had already violated her bottom line, making the Nethermost Peacock’s eyes glint.

Some time ago, the nasty humans had been driven out of the dark fog world. Now, they were back and just as annoying.

Stretching her body in the volcano, her black feathers rose from the lava pool. The lava dripped off like water droplets. Lifting her head to the three small Nethermost Peacocks in the volcanic nest, she said, “I will be heading out. Stay in the nest. Don’t run around.”

“Yes, we got it,” the three small Nethermost Peacocks replied in unison.

Later that night, the weather became cooler. The two circles of moons hung in the sky. Silver light shone upon the earth.

A fiery red light illuminated the night sky along the horizon. Soldiers patrolling the wall stopped and looked toward the horizon.

“What is that…”

Within Desolate Labyrinth, Xu Qingzhi and Li Junzong did not return home after completing their work. Instead, they gathered for a meal at a seven-star luxury restaurant within the maze.

It was the only seven-star hotel in the Desolate Labyrinth. Rumor had it that there was a supply of Overlord Tier monster meat in the hotel, but many people had never seen it before, much less eaten it.

The large dining table was filled with delicacies. Their sumptuous look made one salivate.

To the left, the fragrance from a plate of Dragon Green Ant meat enticed them. The white fleshy meat was juicy. To the right, a jelly-like cuisine the size of a football was laden with nutrient-rich gravy. It had a fine layer of crushed ice on the top. This dish, eyeball of the Yellow River Buffalo, was a hotel specialty.

The final dish was always the best. It was usually a carefully selected top cut of King Tier monster or the organ of an Imperial monster.

“Young Master, the meat of that Overlord monster is too difficult to handle,” Li Junzong smiled bitterly as he explained to Gao Peng. “It can only be cooked with the craze-fire of the King Tier monster. While the fire can be used to cook it, the taste is not satisfactory.”

“No problem.” Gao Peng shook his head.

He was only back for a visit since he had been away for a while. He had dropped in to check the progress of the Desolate Labyrinth.

If it was possible, Gao Peng was ready to have Fatty Big Sea bring a piece of the Divine brick from the Endless Reincarnation Labyrinth to Desolate Labyrinth. If this place could become a strong base, he could be better assured.

Before this, when the Endless Reincarnation Labyrinth had a face-off with the Sea Emperor’s Devouring Teeth, it extracted the power of all the divine bricks. From then on, all the external labyrinths had lost their divinity.

The labyrinth did not have its original invincibility. It was because of this that they were able to transform and expand the labyrinth.

However, the placement of divine bricks was not without its drawbacks. Aside from using a divine artifact, the environment and terrain of the Endless Reincarnation Labyrinth could no longer be changed.

“Young Master, this maze was previously blessed by a mysterious force, but half a year ago, no one knows why the power of the blessing suddenly disappeared…” Xu Qingzhi was reporting to Gao Peng when suddenly the communicator rang.

“Reporting supervisor, there is an Overlord monster is approaching!”

“Ula Ula!” The harsh alarm echoed above the labyrinth.

After a small disturbance, people in the maze got a grip of their emotions.

“It’s nothing,” someone said. “Wasn’t it just yesterday that a monster was killed? Let’s go to the city wall to watch. I didn’t see it clearly enough yesterday.”

Bells over the labyrinth rang eight times. It was a level eight alarm. This represented an Overlord Tier monster, which was a high-level attack.

Everyone who was smiling and chatting earlier instantly fell silent. They walked silently in the direction of the spatial rift. Their steps grew faster and faster as they began to run.

People were pushing, and monsters crowded forward.

“Let me through!”

“Hurry up, don’t block me!”

“Run! Why are you still standing here?”

The atmosphere in the hotel room instantly stiffened. Even if those who trusted the young master and did not immediately escape fell solemn when they heard the nearing of an Overlord Tier monster.

If an Emperor Tier monster was already considered the big boss level, then the Overlord Tier would be the stuff of legends.

The details of Gao Peng’s extermination of the Youhu tribe had not been circulated. Only a few and select group of people knew the real details.

“It’s just an Overlord Tier,” Gao Peng said as he casually lifted a piece of meat and placed it in his mouth. “What’s wrong with all of you?”

“Young Master, do you want to chase away the Overlord Monster first and eat after that?” Xu Qingzhi cautiously asked.

Gao Peng shook his head, put down the chopsticks, and gave a lazy stretch.

“I remember that the only Overlord monster in the vicinity is that little sparrow in the Black Phoenix Mountain range,” he said as he snapped his fingers to summon the Desolate Frost Lion.

When the 6-foot,5-inch long Desolate Frost Lion appeared, the temperature dropped several degrees.

“Desolion, I recall that your relationship with the little sparrow was not too good,” Gao Peng said.

The Desolate Frost Lion narrowed his eyes, stuck out his blood-red tongue, and licked his lips. “Indeed, it wasn’t too good. We were old neighbors.”

He took a whiff of the air and turned to face the north. A cold sheen could be seen in his eyes as he said, “My old neighbor is here, heh heh.”
