God of Pets

Chapter 316 Dragon Pond and Tiger Den
The final day of the month's chart-topping push has come to an end without any surprises.

On the list of favorites, Rouge came in first, while Chen Guan himself came in second on the list of people.

The moment the ranking competition ended, a tiger's roar echoed through the sky, and then a magnificent tiger descended from the heavens and landed on the fighting stage.

The tiger was enormous, standing up like a prehistoric beast, even larger than an elephant, with black and yellow fur that gleamed with an oily sheen.

Its fierce eyes swept across the room, exuding an astonishing pressure that made most people afraid to meet its gaze.

However, no one panicked, because this tiger was the secret spirit that delivered rewards to the top three on the leaderboard every time the rankings were finalized.

The tiger's gaze first fixed on Jiang Qiemo, then it opened its mouth wide and spat out a stream of light that shot towards Jiang Qiemo.

Jiang Qiemo reached out and grabbed the flowing light in his hand. It turned out to be a bead the size of a fist, like a golden pearl, gleaming with a mysterious golden luster.

Then, the tiger looked at Chen Guan again, opened its mouth and spat out another breath, but this time it wasn't one, but two streams of light that flew towards Chen Guan.

Chen Guan reached out and caught it; it was a fist-sized golden bead, one of which was probably a reward Rouge received.

The tiger spat out another golden bead to Zhang Chunman, who was in third place. After letting out a tiger's roar, it leaped up and ran towards the center of Pingshan Mountain, walking on air and quickly disappearing from sight.

Chen Guan was playing with the two beads in his hand, wondering if he should take a look at what was inside, when he suddenly felt dizzy and his vision blurred.

As far as the eye could see, all that could be seen was a thick fog.

Almost without thinking, Chen Guan summoned his divine protective gear and activated his Heavenly Overlord Body, assuming a defensive stance, ready to attack at any moment.

Just moments ago, I was surrounded by a sea of ​​people, but now I can't see a single person. Only the misty clouds around me flow by like a rolling river.

"What's going on?" Chen Guan had never heard of such a thing happening after ranking on the Tiger List.

He called out a few times, but no one answered; all he could hear was the howling of the wind and clouds.

He remained motionless, responding to all changes with equanimity.

Amidst the rolling clouds and mist, which resembled a great river, one could almost hear the roar of a fierce tiger. The sound was awe-inspiring, and though the person was not seen, the mere sound was enough to send chills down one's spine.

As the surrounding mist gradually thinned, and the last wisp of mist flowed past Chen Guan, Chen Guan realized that he was no longer in the fighting arena.

Before us appeared a huge, strangely shaped mountain, which looked like a gigantic tiger lying on the earth.

Just lying there, it already enters the clouds, like a tiger's head atop a mountain range, looking down on the earth from the clouds, like a divine beast guarding the world.

Standing at the foot of Tiger Mountain, Chen Guan looked up at the mountain range that reached straight into the clouds and felt incredibly awestruck.

If this mountain range were a living thing, the Ghost-Eyed Python would be as insignificant as an ant in its presence.

Even more incredibly, above the Crouching Tiger Mountain Range and the clouds, there is a floating mountain range that appears and disappears in the sea of ​​clouds, resembling a giant dragon.

It's unimaginable how those mountain peaks, connected together to form a giant dragon mountain range, could be suspended in the air.

The Dragon Mountain Range and the Tiger Mountain Range, one soaring in the sky and the other lying on the earth, are like dragons and tigers locked in a fierce battle, seemingly poised to erupt into an earth-shattering war at any moment.

"Could this be the central area of ​​Ping Mountain that no one has ever reached before?" Chen Guan wondered to himself when he saw a familiar figure riding a water buffalo from afar. "Miss Zhang... what brings you here..." Chen Guan recognized the person as Zhang Chunxiang.

Zhang Chunxiang was overjoyed to see Chen Guan. When she got closer, she jumped off the water buffalo's back and said with a smile, "I'm so glad you're alright. I was worried you'd already been eaten."

Zhang Chunxiang had also ranked first before, so she was included.

"Do you know where this is?" Chen Guan asked, sensing from Zhang Chunxiang's tone that she seemed to know something.

“If I’m not mistaken, this should be the core area of ​​Pingshan. Some people call it a dragon’s den and a tiger’s lair. I used to think it was just people’s conjecture, and that the core area was just some mountain peaks. I never expected it to be such a pattern of dragon and tiger fighting for heaven and earth.” Zhang Chunxiang said, looking at the two mountain ranges of dragon and tiger.

“If the rumors are true, then we need to be very careful here. I’ve heard that Tiger Mountain eats people, literally.” Zhang Chunxiang added.

"Eating people? How can a mountain eat people?" Chen Guan couldn't imagine what that scene would be like.

He had heard of people getting lost and starving to death on mountains, or falling off cliffs to their deaths, but he had never seen a mountain that could actually devour people.

“I don’t know, I’ve only heard some legends.” Zhang Chunxiang shook her head slightly: “Although the Longhu Mountain Secret Realm is our Zhang family’s property, we have not been able to fully explore many of the mysteries within it, and the core area of ​​Pingshan is one of them.”

“When our elders first started developing Pingshan, they received some stone tablets with inscriptions that recorded legends about the Tianlong and Dihu mountain ranges. Only now do we realize that those were not just legends.”

As they were talking, they saw two more figures approaching.

One of them, whom Chen Guan and Zhang Chunxiang both knew, was none other than the gambler Kuang Liu.

The other person had a long face, a hooked nose, and narrow eyes. Although he wasn't ugly, he had a kind of mean and ruthless look about him.

Neither Chen Guan nor Zhang Chunxiang recognized this person, and they wondered how many people had entered this dangerous place.

When Kuang Liu saw Chen Guan and Zhang Chunxiang, he greeted them casually: "Miss Zhang, fellow Daoist, you've come here too? Did you find anything? Do you know how to get out?"

"We're completely baffled right now, we have no clue what's going on," Chen Guan said, shaking his head.

"This is really a ghost story. We were perfectly fine in the Pet Ranking Arena, and somehow we ended up in this godforsaken place." Kuang Liu pointed to the man next to him and introduced him: "This is my friend Yang Sanlang, this is the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, and this one should also be familiar to you. He is a fellow Daoist who has been making waves in Pingshan recently."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three suddenly heard a mysterious voice echoing in the void.

"Within thirty seconds... summon a beast-like spirit pet to keep by your side... otherwise... die..."

The voice came from all directions, making it impossible to tell where it came from. It was deep and hoarse, with an indescribable air of dominance.

"Who's playing tricks?" Kuang Liu shouted coldly, but no one answered.

Only the countdown sounds coming from all directions: "Thirty...twenty-nine...twenty-eight..."

"Kuang Liu, we're on their turf, so let's do as the Romans do," Yang Sanlang said, summoning a wolf-shaped pet.

“Fellow Daoist, do you have any beast pets? If not, I can transfer one to you,” Zhang Chunxiang said.

“Yes.” Chen Guan reached out and summoned the Warring States period.
