God of Pets

Chapter 318 Always Winning at Gambling
If all the spirits here are like this, neither Chen Guan's Sengoku nor Kurohiro's Poss Cat could possibly win, which means the test is destined to be impossible to complete.

Even Yang Sanlang's wolf was in danger, because although it was already level 20, it was still a semi-spirit pet, and theoretically, its strength was among the lowest of the same level of secret spirits.

It would be very difficult for it to beat the Bronze Masked Pig, even if the Bronze Masked Pig is only level 18.

"Could we beat that spirit half to death first, and then have our spirit pet kill it?" Yang Sanlang said thoughtfully.

No one answered him, and no one knew what the consequences would be of exploiting such a loophole.

If someone is punished for exploiting loopholes, the consequences could be even more severe.

"Let's look around in other places first. There should be other spirits there. Since it's a test, what's the point of setting up tasks that can't be completed? It won't achieve the desired test effect. There must be a way to complete the tasks," Zhang Chunxiang said.

“That’s right, let’s look in other places.” As he spoke, Kuang Liu bypassed the area with the bronze masked pig and headed towards another place.

Chen Guan and the others followed along, and after walking a short distance, they heard the sounds of fighting ahead.

Several people rushed over and saw from afar a bear pet fighting a bronze-masked pig.

The bear pet slapped the bronze-masked pig repeatedly, but the bronze-masked pig was not afraid at all and stubbornly withstood the bear pet's attacks.

As the energy in the bear's paws waned, the bronze-masked boar charged harder and harder, its tusks piercing through the bear's fur. The flowing blood stained the fur, making the bear look covered in blood, and it seemed it wouldn't be long before it was defeated.

The bear's owner was watching the battle from the sidelines. Seeing that the bear was becoming less and less of a match for the bronze-masked pig, and that the bronze-masked pig was using a secret technique, its tusks glowing as it charged towards the bear, which was powerless to resist or dodge, the owner, in desperation, actually took matters into his own hands and slashed at the bronze-masked pig.

The man was incredibly strong; with a single strike, he instantly slashed a deep, bone-revealing gash into the neck of the bronze-masked pig.

He remembered the test rules and withdrew most of his power; otherwise, the bronze-masked pig's head would probably have been chopped off by him long ago.

After rescuing the bear, the man immediately ordered the bear to attack the severely injured bronze-masked pig.

But at that moment, a strange wind blew by.

The man immediately let out a scream, as the wind felt like countless invisible blades slicing through his body.

In an instant, his body was sliced ​​into strips, and blood and flesh splattered out in the wind, forming a radiating pattern of bloodstains behind him.

The man tried to resist, but it was no use. It was as if he was being sliced ​​by a thousand knives in an instant. All the flesh and blood on his body were torn away and blown away by the wind, leaving only a skeleton lying on the ground.

Chen Guan and his companions broke out in a cold sweat, secretly relieved that they hadn't rashly challenged the bronze-masked pig.

"This is really bad!" Kuang Liu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Only now did he realize the gravity of the situation. If he couldn't find a low-level Mystic, his Poscat wouldn't be able to win, and according to the rules spoken by that mysterious voice, both he and Poscat would die.

Now, Kurumi has all the skills he needs, but he has no opportunity to use them. His other powerful pets are also completely useless.

The bear pet also vanished into the world with the man's death, leaving only a pile of bones and bloodstains on the ground.

"Let's go." Chen Guan called out to Kuang Liu and Yang Sanlang, who were still in a daze.

They need to hurry and find those low-level spirits, otherwise they might be in big trouble today.

The person from before was definitely not weak; in fact, he could be considered very strong. Among cultivators who had undergone a second awakening, he should be among the top tier. Yet, he had no power to resist at all. He was reduced to bones by a gust of wind. Even Chen Guan didn't know if he could withstand such terrifying power.

Completing the test now is the safest option, but they only have twelve hours and must find a secret spirit that Sengoku can kill within that time.

Kuang Liu and Yang Sanlang then came to their senses and realized that they had to hurry.

The group, filled with trepidation, searched for the mysterious spirit in the surrounding area.

Tiger Mountain is surrounded by many small hills, and there are quite a few mysterious spirits on them.

However, most of them were bronze-masked pigs, which were mysterious spirits with a minimum level of 18, and they didn't dare to try.

Many other types of Mystic Spirits were also discovered, but those that they could recognize were all Mystic Spirits that had undergone a second awakening.

Those I didn't recognize, after testing them, turned out to be second-awakened spirits as well.

"This is outrageous... They're clearly trying to kill us... During the first round of testing... there were no instructions at all... Who knew it would turn out like this..." Kurohiro was extremely frustrated.

“None of us have been here before, so it’s normal that we didn’t expect this to happen. Now is not the time to complain; let’s think about how to complete the test. I don’t want to be tortured,” Chen Guan said.

"What other options are there? With just my Persian cat and your guard dog, going there would be suicide. We can't even defeat one of them." Kuang Liu said dejectedly, "These Mystic Spirits are too stupid. Otherwise, I could have taken a gamble with them and maybe even won."

“I do have an idea, but I don’t know if it will work,” Zhang Chunxiang said.

"Miss Zhang, do you have any ideas?" Kuang Liu asked hurriedly.

Chen Guan and Yang Sanlang were also looking at Zhang Chunxiang; the gazes of the three of them were all focused on Zhang Chunxiang.

"Kuang Liu, do you have a talent for winning every bet?" Zhang Chunxiang asked Kuang Liu.

Kurumi hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, but considering the current situation, he nodded.

“That’s simple. With such an invincible talent, you just need to make a bet with us, saying that your Persian Cat can kill the Bronze Masked Pig. Influenced by your talent, you can complete the test, right?” Zhang Chunxiang said.

After hearing this, Kuang Liu smiled wryly and said, "Miss Zhang, if this works, then I won't be so troubled."

"My talent for winning every bet has certain conditions for activation. The stakes and bets must be within my own means and cannot involve innocent third parties. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Does that mean when you gamble with me, you can't involve the Bronze Mask Pig, unless you can gamble with the Bronze Mask Pig to activate the 'Always Win' talent?" Zhang Chunxiang pondered.

"That's about right." Kurohiro nodded helplessly.

“That doesn’t make sense either. At the pet fighting arena, don’t you often bet with other people on the outcome of those pets? Doesn’t that involve innocent third parties?” Zhang Chunxiang noticed the loophole in Kuang Liu’s words.

“Miss Zhang, you may not know me well. Although I have a talent for winning every bet, I rarely use it to cheat. Most of the time, I win by relying on my own insight and gambling skills, not by the effect of my talent.”

Kuang Liu sighed and continued, "I know many people doubt that I have a talent for luck, and I do have it. But if it were really as they think, I would have been invincible long ago. Why would I need to waste my life in a place like Pingshan?"
