God of Pets

Chapter 785 Lake

The baby lizard that emerged from its shell had a delicate outer skin, but its color was somewhat different from the previous one.

The little devil lizard was originally black and white, but now its new skin is completely black, and it is very smooth and shiny without any spikes.

"The little demon lizard that molted changed from a mix of black and white to black, and will it gradually grow white later?" Chen Guan was pondering this when he saw that the other little demon lizards had also begun to shed their old skin.

One by one, little magic lizards crawled out of their old shells, and Chen Guan was surprised to find that they were completely different from what he had just thought.

The little magic lizards that had shed their old skins weren't black; one was white, one was blue, one was blue-gray, one was red, and one was tan.

The newborns of these little guys all had different colors, giving Chen Guan the feeling of opening a blind box.

"Something's not right. Their mother was a mix of black and white, and they were always that color before. How come they turned into different colors after molting this time?" Chen Guan wondered to himself.

"They drank the water from the lake, but suddenly started molting. Could it be that the lake water caused their transformation? And even caused them to undergo a mutation?"

Chen Guan's gaze involuntarily fell upon the lake water, which was as clear as an emerald.

"If it's really as I think, then how much energy must such a large lake contain?" Chen Guan's eyes began to light up as he thought about it.

After all the little ones had returned to normal, the giant lizard swept all their molted old skins into the lake with its tail, and then waddled away with the colorful little lizards.

Chen Guan did not follow them away, but instead summoned a flying eagle to track the demonic lizards and see if they would return.

Chen Guan himself went to the lakeside and stood some distance away from the lake. He first summoned an ordinary wild ghost pet and sent it to the lake to drink water.

"If the water in this lake can really help the spirits grow and mutate, that would be wonderful. Then all my pets could become mutated babies," Chen Guan thought happily.

The wild ghost pet walked to the edge of the lake and was about to bend down to drink when the lake water receded as if the tide were going out.

"Huh!" Chen Guan frowned slightly and told the wild ghost pet to continue chasing after it to drink water.

But the lake receded faster and faster, and the wild ghost chased after it desperately, but it couldn't keep up with the speed at which the lake was receding.

Chen Guan made the wild ghost stop, and the lake also stopped receding.

Chen Guan was astonished: "Is this lake alive? How can it move on its own and prevent the wild ghosts from drinking? Does it mean that only spirits chosen by it can drink its water?"

Thinking this, Chen Guan summoned the wild ghost back and then summoned some different kinds of pets, trying to get them to drink the water from the lake.

The results were all similar, except that when the pets approached the lake to drink the water, the lake would recede at an extremely fast speed.

Chen Guan could clearly see from the sky that the enormous tidal lake was moving strangely across the desert at an incredible speed. Even when Chen Guan summoned a level 60 speed-type spirit, it couldn't catch up with the lake.

"Could this lake also be a kind of mysterious spirit?" Chen Guan thought to himself as he put away all the pets.

Thinking back on the process of the lizards drinking water, the large lizard did not drink water, and judging from the color of its skin, it was just a normal black and white color. Does this mean that it may not have drunk water before?
Of course, there's another possibility: it might have drunk water before, which is why it turned black and white and gave birth to babies of the same color. In any case, it didn't drink water this time.

Does this mean that adult spirits cannot drink water? Or is it that the water in this lake can only be drunk once?
Unable to determine the cause, Chen Guan could only continue the experiment.

If only young spirit babies can drink lake water, then Chen Guan really doesn't have such a spirit pet by his side.

Even Zhaocai is now an adult, about the size of an adult Siberian tiger, but as fat as a pig.

However, she still looks cute and hasn't lost her charm as she's grown up.

As for the little tiger, it has been growing for several years, but it still shows no signs of growing any bigger. Chen Guan wonders what's wrong with it and suspects that it might be a congenital dwarf.

Chen Guan hesitated to use the tiger cub for the experiment. Zhan Guo had always treated the cub like his son, and if he accidentally killed it, Zhan Guo would be devastated.

It acted as a perfect scapegoat, doing an excellent job for the little tiger.

But you know what, the little tiger hasn't grown much in size in the past few years, but its fur has become much darker, and it really does have a yellowish-red hue.

Besides, the little tiger is already several years old, so it shouldn't be considered a baby anymore, right?

After thinking it over, Chen Guan realized he couldn't find any young Mystic Pets, so he had to change his strategy.

He thought of how the smaller lizards shed their skins after drinking the water, and the larger lizards threw them into the lake.

If this lake truly possesses a self-aware spirit, then could this behavior be considered a form of exchange?

The lake knew that the little magic lizard would molt after drinking water, and that it needed these shells, so the two reached an understanding.

The lake refused to let his spirit drink because they lacked a similar understanding.

Thinking this, Chen Guan took out a ten-thousand-year-old Vermilion Fruit and threw it into the lake, wanting to make an equal exchange with the lake.

As a result, when Chen Guan threw the Vermilion Fruit over, the lake immediately receded, seemingly refusing to accept his rare and precious treasure.

Chen Guan threw out several more items, including rare and precious materials and various materials from the bodies of mysterious spirits, such as bones, hides, horns, and so on.

The lakes seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder; no matter where Chen Guan threw something, the lakes would quickly dodge it, dodging left and right. Despite being a huge lake, it was as agile as a big, flying fat man.

"Fine, fine, you ungrateful lake, are you going to refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit? I'll ask you once, what do you want in return for my pet drinking water? If you behave yourself, I'll let the pet drink and then leave. But if you cause any more trouble, don't blame me for being impolite," Chen Guan shouted at the lake.

After Chen Guan shouted, he waited for a while, but the lake didn't move at all, which made him very frustrated.

"You really don't know what's good for you." Chen Guan snorted coldly, stretched out his finger and drew lines in the air, and lines of spiritual light intertwined to form words.
