Monster Pet Evolution Chapter 484 – You’ve Been Slacking

The muddy river of the Shaman Canyon was shrouded by a thick and hazy fog, so only a vast expanse of whiteness could be seen when overlooking the river. The waves on the surface of the river surged continuously. A few boats were navigating the muddy river, with some residents of the nearby base cities on board.

“Following the arrival of the affluent second generation not long ago, I’ve heard that quite a few of the powerful monsters in the mountains have been taken away.” A middle-aged man on the boat who was wearing a green jacket was envious. “There were rumors about Old Deng buying a new familiar after trading information.”

A person beside him shook his head and said, “Why am I not having such good luck?”

“There’s still a chance. I heard that the Shaman Canyon isn’t as eerie as it was before. It was said that the other monsters were busy fighting for territory after the powerful monsters were taken away. People seldom came to the Shaman Canyon back then, so there were actually a lot of precious materials in there,” said the white-haired old man as he grinned with an opium pipe in his hand.

After listening to the old man’s words, a group of people next to him looked at each other and grinned, too.

Someone on the boat laughed while asking, “Li Gang, I thought your family had a mining business. Why did you follow us here, too?”

“There’s no mine left,” Li Gang said with a speechless expression. He was annoyed whenever this incident was brought up.

Initially, his family had undertaken a small mine in town, and they had been able to live a comfortable and plentiful life. At that time, his cash and fluid funds were fixed on the mine, hoping that he would be able to earn a fortune if the mining business developed. No one had expected that all of a sudden, a disaster would ravage the town, causing various monsters to appear in the mine, even killing some people. The mine was blockaded entirely, becoming a f*cking forbidden area.

Can you even imagine how it feels to have your own mine turned into a forbidden area? This is mental. The coal mine belongs to me, but you guys are always bringing along your familiars as if you’re warriors trying to break into the evil king’s nest. Are you kidding me?!

“There’s no mine left.”

“I think it was a coal mine.”

People around him were discussing it like it was an entertaining anecdote. Li Gang had to try his best to keep smiling, although he was actually extremely pissed.

“It was just a small mine.” Li Gang waved his hand and acted like he didn’t care at all.

The group didn’t notice that there was a gigantic shadow following them under their boat in the river.

***

There were huge mountains behind the Southern Sky Group. One of the highest mountains had its peak flattened into a wide, open space. Two familiars were standing while facing each other in the space.

The one on the left was a big, muscular vulture with shiny black fur and red eye shadow on its lids. Its protruding pectoral muscles screamed violence, and as part of the bird species, its muscles caused fear in a lot of land beasts.

“Goldie, you’ve been slacking these days,” said the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture in a deep voice.

Goldie, wearing a Buddhist’s beaded necklace on its neck, was standing opposite the vulture, looking very anxious and serious. “I did train hard.”

“You know the intensity that I’m talking about,” the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture said sternly. It grasped its wings firmly and struck them hard on its chest.

“I only reminded you because we have the same interests and we belong in the bird species! There’s not going to be a second time!”

Goldie was unconvinced. I’m a duck, poultry. I’m noble enough to be presented on a dining table.

“Shall we?” Goldie provoked the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture.

The Blood Eye Bearded Vulture looked at Goldie with its eyes squinted into a line. Its gaze was as sharp as a blade.

Boooom! An explosive cloud burst behind the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture as it skyrocketed into the skies in a flash. The clouds were ripped apart by its strong muscles as its tough, black feathers glittered coldly.

“I’m aware of your skill. You get stronger as you fight. You even defeated a high-quality King-tier monster yesterday with that skill.” The voice of the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture was heard in the sky from afar. “But I wanted to let you know that there isn’t such a thing as invincible power, only invincible heart!”

Goldie clenched its fist, in a bad mood. I can get over criticisms from Gao Peng, but not from a bird like you. Who are you to speak to me like this?!

In the skies, the vulture tightly covered its body with its wings, forming a bullet shape. After training relentlessly, its body was harder than diamonds, and its beak was sharper than the tip of a bullet.

The Blood Eye Bearded Vulture knew how capable Goldie was, so it wasn’t going to prolong the battle and Goldie didn’t intend to, either.

Goldie lifted its head and squinted. It saw a black dot approaching it. The burning sun was above, and the dazzling sunlight caused it to see overlapping images. So fast.

The vulture plunged down rapidly from above. Its long curves stretched out from the exploded clouds and could be seen in front of its shadow. The undispersed clouds left a sheer rainbow behind the vulture.

A sense of danger emerged in Goldie. It was this sense of danger that caused it to retreat promptly to avoid the attack.

However, the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture, who was diving at a high speed, was also able to adjust its direction. Although it couldn’t make substantial adjustments, a slight maneuver was still possible.

Flowing Light, who was leaping between the mountains, saw the falling meteor. Its sight couldn’t move away from the falling meteor as it stopped on the peak of one of the hills.

“That’s really fast,” Flowing Light exclaimed.

Flamy, who was hovering in the skies, looked down at the ground and saw Goldie clenching its fists while the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture was plunging down. It softly murmured, “Two barbarians.”

Goldie bent its legs and stared closely at the vulture, who was growing nearer to it.

Three, two one… Now!

Goldie jumped up and retreated backward at the last moment. I avoided it!

While Goldie was covertly rejoicing, a sudden pulling force caused it to stumble. It staggered and moved forward, being drawn helplessly into the deadly hurricane.

Boom!!! The peak of the mountain trembled severely. Cracks spread out like spider webs from the target.

The two deepest cracks, which were unfathomably deep, almost ripped the mountain into two.

In the midst of the clamor, Flamy was flustered as it flew down. “Baldie, are you all right?”

A voice reached out from the smoke and ashes as it coughed, “Bi Yuan, I’m all right. Are you here to make fun of me, you treacherous and cunning crane?!”

“You don’t seem to be hurting, since you can still talk.” A low but sharp voice drowned out Goldie’s words.

Pow! A muffled voice was heard, and the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture walked out with Goldie in its hands.

Flamy was furious when it saw the unconscious Goldie. The Blood Eye Bearded Vulture threw Goldie on the ground. “This little egoistic yellow duck is fine. It just fainted.”

The vulture covered its beak with its black feathers while coughing, then flew away. “Tell it that if it’s willing, to come over and train with me tomorrow morning. I won’t force it if it doesn’t want to.”

The vulture coughed again after flying away. There was some blood coming out of its beak.

“It was indeed too much to use this skill that’s beyond my limits. My grade has finally risen, and the physical limits of my body may have increased, too.” The Blood Eye Bearded Vulture stayed silent. “Is it a must for me to raise my grade in order to increase my physical limits…?”
