God of Pets

Chapter 319 The Clever Dog

"Rely on foresight and skill? Both pets belong to the bookmakers. They can make whichever one win, so what's the use of foresight and skill?" Zhang Chunxiang still felt there was a problem.

"Everyone thinks that I have a talent for good luck that can determine the outcome of a battle," Kuang Liu said with a smile. "That's why no one has ever doubted that the reason I can win is not because of good luck, but because of multiple reasons."

“In the beginning, one of the pets I bet on was actually one I deliberately arranged. That was originally my pet, so naturally I could win.”

"Later, I was able to win because I bribed the owners of those pets."

“Those pet owners are all part of the dealer’s group, they’re not so easy to bribe, are they?” Zhang Chunxiang said.

"Of course I can't bribe them myself, but I can cooperate with the bookmaker's mortal enemy. By creating the illusion that I always win at gambling, I actually use coercion and bribery to control the pet owners and make them work for us in secret."

Kuang Liu revealed his secret to winning every bet. Although he truly had the talent to win every bet, his ability to win every bet had virtually no necessary connection to his talent.

Even if he didn't have that talent, he could still win every bet.

"So, when we made that bet, you didn't use your innate abilities?" Chen Guan asked, somewhat surprised.

“It can’t be used, and there’s no need to use it. I know the Tyrant Beast and the Hydra. In my assessment, the Hydra is bound to win, and I don’t need to do anything.” Kuang Liu sighed, “I never thought I would meet someone like you who truly possesses a talent for great luck. The Tyrant Beast has unexpectedly unleashed its power.”

Chen Guan thought to himself, "I don't have a strong talent for luck either, but my talent allows me to win without needing luck."

Upon hearing Kuang Liu's words, Yang Sanlang frowned, his expression turning quite unpleasant.

Yang Sanlang is Yang Lang. He brought Kuang Liu in because he wanted to rely on Kuang Liu's strong luck talent to find the place where the dragon and tiger meet.

I never expected that Kurumi's talent would have so many limitations; it's practically useless.

Zhang Chunman, the most skilled in feng shui techniques among the younger generation of the Zhang family, failed to enter, and Kuang Liu did not possess the extraordinary talent they had imagined. This operation had too many flaws, and it felt like they were simply out of luck.

"Aren't you afraid we'll spread this around after you tell us all this?" Zhang Chunxiang said with a smile.

"I'm afraid I'll have little chance of getting out of here alive this time. If you can get out of here alive, it would be even better if you could help spread these glorious deeds." Kuang Liu was quite carefree.

“We still have plenty of time. Let’s search slowly. Maybe there’s a low-level mystic spirit somewhere here,” Zhang Chunxiang said.

"That's all I can hope for." Kurohiro felt the chances were slim.

The group continued their search but did not find any low-level secret spirits. Instead, they encountered a few other people who, like Chen Guan and his group, were also searching for low-level secret spirits.

Most people shared the same concern, fearing something fishy was going on, and in the first test, the summoned spirit pets were all relatively low-level.

The second stage is particularly difficult now. Among these people, only two have summoned powerful second-awakening pets, while the remaining three have summoned first-awakening pets.

These people only came together later, so they could look out for each other.

Because there was no conflict of interest, and they even needed each other's help, the two groups exchanged information. After exchanging information with them, Chen Guan and his group learned that everyone who entered this place had once won first place on the pet, human, and tiger rankings.

"Only those who have reached the top of the rankings can enter here, so doesn't that mean there might not be any spirits here below the second awakening level?" Kuang Liu's expression grew even more grim. The others shared the same speculation; if this place was designed specifically for the top-ranked player, then the possibility of low-level spirits being here was even lower.

After the two groups exchanged information, they discovered that this was indeed the case; no one had ever seen the Secret Spirit under the Second Awakening.

The cultivators who had only summoned their awakened pets were now ashen-faced; their chances of surviving the test were now extremely slim.

Chen Guan wasn't too worried. Although Zhan Guo was only a first-awakening spirit, with the support of his cheerleader soul, it wouldn't be too difficult to win as long as he found some weaker second-awakening spirits.

“We’re afraid it will be difficult to find it this way. Let’s plan the area and split up to search. If we find anything, we’ll use smoke bombs as a signal.” After Zhang Chunxiang’s suggestion was approved, she took out some smoke bombs and distributed them to everyone.

The smoke bomb is a technological product. When dropped directly on the ground, it can generate a large amount of smoke that rises rapidly into the sky. This product is very useful in secret environments where instruments are interfered with.

Everyone searched in different directions. Chen Guan was in no hurry to send Zhan Guo to kill those second-awakening spirits. It would be safer to find the first-awakening spirits instead.

Time passed by, and several hours had gone by in the blink of an eye. Chen Guan had not found any trace of the Mysterious Spirit in the places he had been.

Chen Guan also tested the strength of those unfamiliar spirits, and they were all undoubtedly at the second awakening stage.

It is now almost certain that there really is no One-Sleep Mystic Spirit here.

"In that case, this is the only way." Chen Guan selected a relatively weak second-awakening spirit and had Zhan Guo try to kill it.

"Sengoku, our survival depends on you. I know you can do it, go for it!" Chen Guan activated his cheerleader spirit, giving Sengoku a buff first.

Sengoku immediately stood up and launched a fierce attack on the Second Awakening Mystic Spirit.

Even with the support of the cheerleader spirit, Sengoku's speed and strength were still far behind that of the black antelope.

After all, the difference in level is too great, and there is a whole tier difference. The other party has already become a different kind of Yuan Qi, while Zhan Guo is still just an ordinary Yuan Qi. He is at a huge disadvantage.

In addition, the talent and growth rate of the Warring States period were too low, so even after being buffed, there was still a considerable gap.

Fortunately, Sengoku was a clever guard dog. It was not as fast or strong as the black antelope, and it did not confront it head-on. Instead, it circled around the black antelope, trying to ambush it from behind.

When chased by a black antelope, it runs in circles. When the black antelope stops, it continues to run behind the black antelope, occasionally biting its legs.

Chen watched for a while and realized that although the Warring States were not as strong, they had not suffered any losses.

As Chen Guan watched, his expression became somewhat strange. He realized that Zhan Guo's ability to dodge the black antelope's attacks wasn't solely due to his cunning; there was also skill involved.

He actually saw the shadow of martial arts rhythm in Zhan Guo, namely Shang Ziyi's fighting rhythm and movement.

Although the movements in the Warring States period were not as complex as those used by humans, consisting of only a few relatively simple steps, the rhythm and movement patterns did indeed bear some resemblance to those of Shang Ziyi.
