God of Pets

Chapter 317 Miscalculation
Despite his arrogant words, Kurohiro still managed to summon a pure white Persian cat.

The three of them looked at Kurumi with some strange eyes. They never expected that Kurumi, a bald and muscular man, would keep a Persian cat as a pet.

Persian cats are a type of civet cat, and like guard dogs, they are semi-spirited pets.

These are spirit pets that are formed from the bodies of certain breeds of pet cats that have been raised by their owners using special methods since they were kittens and have died.

Compared to guard dogs, civets are much less aggressive, less loyal, and less intelligent.

Most civets are actually not very useful; their symbolic significance outweighs their practical use.

Chen Guan and the others thought that someone like Kuang Liu would keep a fierce guard dog, but they never expected that he would keep a spirit pet like a Persian cat.

This Persian cat is pure white with no other colors, one eye is gold and the other is blue, making it a relatively common breed of Persian cat with heterochromia.

"Haven't you ever seen a man keep a spirit cat?" Kuang Liu said, a little embarrassed and exasperated, "My Persian cat is no ordinary one. I found it in an ancient tomb. It was lying on top of the tomb owner's coffin. Do you know what it's called?"

"What's your name?" Chen Guan asked.

“This kind of cat is not just a cat, but a spirit beast that can suppress evil spirits and ghosts.” Kuang Liu said, holding the snowball-like Persian cat. “This is a spirit beast that can suppress evil spirits and ghosts. You don’t understand.”

Zhang Chunxiang laughed and said, "There is indeed a saying about spirit cats suppressing souls, but as far as I know, a spirit cat that suppresses souls should be a pure black cat. Yours looks like a white cat, right? And it's a Persian cat at that."

"Who says a white cat can't be a soul-suppressing beast? Who says a Persian cat can't be a soul-suppressing spirit cat?" Kuang Liu immediately retorted.

"Why did you go to the ancient tomb?" Chen Guan asked, somewhat curious.

Chen Guan's question seemed to have struck a nerve with Kuang Liu, who proudly recounted: "Back then, at the construction site near my house, they dug a hole while digging the foundation, and several people died. Everyone said there was a ghost in that hole..."

At the time, Kuang Liu was only eleven or twelve years old, but he was incredibly bold. He talked about the underground cave at the construction site with a group of cronies. After being provoked by someone, he made a bet with them and went to explore the underground cave at the construction site alone in the middle of the night.

Kurumi didn't die, which just shows how lucky he was.

The cave was connected to an ancient tomb, and due to the environment, it contained a lot of harmful gases, which is why the workers lost their lives before.

When Kuang Liu went down in the middle of the night, after a day of venting, the harmful gases in the cave had mostly dissipated, which saved his life.

This Persian cat was the one Kururu found on top of the coffin in the ancient tomb.

As for whether it is a tomb-guarding spirit beast or ran in after the construction site was dug up, that remains unknown. In any case, when Kuang Liu told others, he insisted that it was a tomb-guarding spirit beast.

After Kurumi finished explaining the origins of his Persian cat, a quarter of an hour had passed.

Chen Guan had already summoned his full set of divine armor and was constantly watching his surroundings to see what would happen.

Zhan Guo stood guard in front of Chen Guan, glancing around frequently, displaying an air of keen observation and keen hearing.

Suddenly, a strange wind arose from nowhere, forming several small whirlwinds that happened to hit their summoned pets, engulfing them in the whirlwinds.

Chen Guan's expression changed, and he rushed towards the Warring States while trying to pull the Warring States back.

But before he could complete these operations, the whirlwinds disappeared, as if they had appeared out of thin air and then vanished just like that.

"Hey, my water buffalo's growth rate has increased by 0.1," Zhang Chunxiang said, stroking the buffalo's head in surprise. Hearing this, Chen Guan and the other two quickly checked their pets and, sure enough, their growth rates had all increased by 0.1.

Yang Sanlang said with some regret, "If I had known it would be like this, I would have summoned my best pet."

Chen Guan looked at Zhan Guo's growth rate and saw that it had indeed increased by 0.1. He thought to himself, "If this 0.1 had been added to Gui Yan, the growth rate would have exceeded 2."

He was just thinking about it for the moment. Ghost Eye wasn't a beast-type spirit, and who knew what kind of trouble it might cause if he summoned it.

Moreover, the increased growth rate during the Warring States period is a good thing for Chen Guan, as it may increase the chances of his second awakening.

"Life is a gamble, and the unknown is what makes it so exciting. If you already know the other person's hand, what's the point?" Kurumi Roku was quite philosophical about it.

"The first round of testing is over... The second round of testing begins... Within twelve hours... Use the beast pet you just summoned... Let it hunt down a Mystic Spirit independently... If you violate the rules or exceed the time limit and fail to complete the task... Both the person and the pet... will die... The countdown begins..." The mysterious voice sounded again.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

Killing a Mystic Spirit, even a third-awakening Mystic Spirit, is not without a chance.

However, this mysterious voice actually wanted them to use the pets they had just summoned to kill a Mystic Spirit, which was far too difficult for the group.

Of the four pets summoned by the four people, three were semi-spirit pets.

Yang Sanlang's wolf, Chen Guan's Warring States, and Kuang Liu's Persian cat are all semi-spirit pets, only the water buffalo summoned by Zhang Chunxiang is not a semi-spirit pet.

Yang Sanlang's wolf, although a semi-spirit pet, has fortunately undergone a second awakening and has reached level 20.

Chen Guan and Kuang Liu are in a bad situation. Zhan Guo and Bo Si Mao are both level 10. I wonder if there are any Mystic Spirits below level 10 in this godforsaken place for them to kill.

"I don't know who's playing tricks on me. If you've got the guts, come out and bet with me face to face." Kuang Liu shouted at the sky, but no one paid him any attention.

"Let's go find the secret spirit here first. Maybe this task isn't so difficult to complete," Chen Guan said, looking around.

"If we don't finish this, does he really think he can kill us?" Kuang Liu said fiercely, but he still held onto the Persian cat and obediently followed Chen Guan.

Yang Sanlang advised from the side, "It's better to believe it's true than not to believe it's not. Let's complete the test first. Maybe we can increase the growth rate by 0.1. Wouldn't that be a good thing?"

"That's true." Kurohiro stopped talking.

The four of them were in a mountainous area. After discussing it, they headed towards Tiger Mountain. They hadn't gone far when they saw a blue wild boar wandering around in the forest.

Wild boars aren't very big, about the same size as domestic pigs weighing around 100 pounds. Their skin is bluish-gray with black hair.

Unlike ordinary wild boars, this wild boar had a thick layer of bronze material on its face, making it look like it was wearing a bronze mask.

“This is a bronze masked pig… its level is at least 18…” Zhang Chunxiang immediately recognized what kind of spirit it was.

Upon hearing this, the group felt a sense of foreboding.
