God of Pets

Chapter 784 Demon Lizard
A giant lizard, as big as Godzilla, with its body covered in sharp spikes and black and white stripes.

The mysterious spirit that fought it was an equally enormous sand turtle, its body the color of sand and stone.

The two giant beasts fought recklessly in the desert. When Chen Guan saw the glow emanating from their bodies, he immediately retreated quickly.

The halo that looked like the Buddha's halo behind him was not ordinary primordial energy, but a secret realm halo that could only be awakened at the eighth stage of enlightenment.

It appears to be a halo enveloping the body, but in reality, it is connected to a secret realm and draws upon the power of that realm.

Unlike the celestial duty of the Destiny Star, the Secret Realm can actually provide the Secret Spirit or cultivator with an input of vital energy and the unique vital energy attribute enhancement of the Secret Realm.

Simply put, the secret realm can grant cultivators a certain rate of energy recovery and also add a second attribute to their energy.

Those who possess secret realms or are cultivators will have their combat endurance greatly increased, especially for those with sustained abilities.

For example, abilities that need to be kept active, such as Protective Divine Skill and Secret Law, can have their duration greatly increased due to the energy provided by the Secret Realm.

One unfriendly aspect of the secret realm is that activating it requires a large amount of vital energy.

If you don't open the secret realm at the beginning, and after fighting for a while, your own energy will be depleted, and you may not have enough energy to open the secret realm.

Chen Guan himself did not have such worries. No matter how much his awakened secret realm consumed his vital energy, it was impossible for him to be depleted to the point where he had no vital energy left to open the secret realm.

The regenerative abilities of the secret realm were also very useful to Chen Guan.

He certainly didn't need to recover his energy; he had an inexhaustible supply of it.

However, the primordial energy flowing from the secret realm can restore the secret primordial energy, which is naturally a kind of enhancement for Chen Guan.

Of course, there is also the inherent elemental energy attribute of the secret realm, which is also very important as an additional attribute of elemental energy.

However, what kind of secret realm can be awakened, like the destiny star, depends on multiple factors and is even more difficult to control than the awakening of secret laws.

Both of those spirits were fighting with the aura of the secret realm, so they must be at least eighth-level spirits, or even possibly ninth-level spirits.

Chen Guan didn't want to provoke such a big guy right now; he would just watch from a distance.

The sand turtle was clearly a match for the monitor lizard. For some reason, black and white spikes grew inside the sand turtle's body.

The thorns that grew from within its own body pierced through it, and they grew more and more.

No matter how hard the sand turtle tried to fight back, it couldn't save its life. In the end, it became a dead turtle with sharp spikes piercing its body and shell, hanging in the air.

The giant lizard opened its massive jaws and bit directly into the sand turtle's corpse. The sharp spines were snapped in two, and the hard shell was as easy to chew as sugarcane under its teeth, making a crisp, satisfying crunch.

In just a moment, a huge sand turtle was swallowed whole by the black and white thorn lizard.

Having eaten its fill, the thorny lizard turned and crawled to the other side of the desert, unaware of Chen Guan high in the sky.

With a thought, Chen Guan followed the direction the Demon Thorn Lizard had left in.

He hadn't understood what kind of power the Demon Thorn Lizard had used to make the sand turtle grow spikes inside its body and kill itself.

The thorny lizard wasn't climbing very fast. It hadn't gone far when it reached a huge sand pit and plunged in. Soon, its massive body disappeared into the sand.

"That's a quicksand pit, isn't it? There must be a hidden world down there," Chen Guan thought to himself, but he didn't dare to go down.

Such a powerful spirit could kill you if you weren't careful, and Chen Guan wasn't willing to take that risk.

Since there weren't any decent resources to be found here, Chen Guan simply found a place in the distance to wait.

If we can figure out what this demonic lizard's abilities are, we might have a chance to kill it.

Who knew that this wait would last for more than two days? Chen Guan was starting to wonder if there was another exit. Just when the demon lizard had already left from that side, he saw that the huge quicksand pit was moving again.

As the quicksand rose, a giant demon lizard crawled out of the sandpit, shook off the sand after leaving the pit.

Just when Chen Guan thought the lizard was about to leave home to hunt, it didn't leave. Instead, it turned around and stared at the sandpit.

A short while later, movement was seen again in the sandpit.

Soon, a line of small, black-and-white striped lizards, covered in sharp spines and as big as an adult elephant, crawled out of the sandpit and followed the larger lizards.

"One...two...three...six..." Chen Guan counted, and there were a total of six little demon lizards.

"The big ones are hard to kill, but the small ones should be easier, right?" Chen Guan was delighted, thinking about whether he could find an opportunity to deal with the small lizards when the giant lizard went out to hunt.

He had only been in the Great Cave Heaven for a short time, and resources were extremely scarce, so he didn't want to miss out on any of them.

Six baby lizards waddled along the sand dunes behind the big lizard. The big lizard would walk for a while, then stop and wait for the baby lizards. No one knew where it was taking its children.

Chen Guan flew into the sky and used his clairvoyance to track them from afar.

He looked ahead from high above in the direction the giant lizard was heading and discovered that dozens of kilometers away, there was a lake in the desert, like a huge green emerald embedded in the yellow desert.

"They must be going to get a drink of water," Chen Guan thought to himself.

Sure enough, the giant lizard and its offspring eventually arrived at the lake, lined up, and lay down to drink water.

As the children lay on the lakeshore drinking water with their tongues out, the giant lizard stood to the side, raising its head and occasionally looking around, seemingly on guard.

Soon, all six not-so-small creatures had drunk their fill of water. Two of the mischievous ones in the middle refused to drink and instead started playing around. The giant lizard roared at them, and they stopped misbehaving and obediently went to drink.

Suddenly, the six little creatures, who had drunk their fill of water, seemed to have been poisoned and collapsed on the beach, rolling around in agony, foaming at the mouth.

"Damn... I haven't even made a move yet... Who's so fast..." Chen Guan secretly guessed that there might be some strange spirit in the lake that used the lake water to kill these little demon lizards.

Chen Guan soon realized that something was wrong. The giant lizard was looking at its children with great concern, but it did not show any anger or hostility, which meant that it did not think there was an enemy, but was just worried about these little lizards.

"Strange, judging from its expression, it seems to have known this would happen all along. What's going on?" Chen Guan was thinking when he saw one of the little demon lizards rolling around on the ground, its sharp spines falling off one by one.

After all the spikes on its body fell off, its skin, which was even harder than a tortoise shell, cracked open, and a newborn body struggled to crawl out from under the cracked skin.
