God of Pets

Chapter 323 Tiger’s Den
Yang Lang looked at Chen Guan, who was standing on the python's head and thrusting a spear at him, and used the silly bird in his hand to block the spear.

His gaze fell upon the eerie eyes of the Ghost-Eyed Python, and suddenly his mind went blank. He realized something was wrong, but there was nothing he could do.

Chen Guan's spear leaped over the silly bird and pierced Yang Lang's head, pinning him to the ground.

Yang Lang died on the spot, without even struggling, his body went limp, and the silly bird in his hand fell to the ground.

Kuang Liu and the others were surprised and puzzled as to how Yang Lang suddenly seemed like a novice with no combat experience, and was stabbed to death by Chen Guan in one go.

Chen Guan put the Ghost-Eyed Python away, and then took out all the belongings from Yang Lang and the other dead cultivators.

Their pets all died along with their owners, but the treasures, elixirs, and wealth they carried did not disappear with their owners; they have all now belonged to Chen Guan.

Chen Guan discovered that even these top-tier cultivators were mostly not wealthy, with little spare money, and only one or two treasures that caught their eye, not many pills either.

People like Kuang Liu, whose entire body is covered in high-grade treasures, are extremely rare.

Cultivation itself is an extremely resource-intensive activity, and on top of that, there's the need to feed pets. Even young masters from wealthy families generally don't have the extra money to acquire various secret treasures. Most of them can only get one or two practical weapons or self-defense treasures, while the rest are relatively ordinary.

However, these one or two pieces are all top-quality items, and individually, they are no less impressive than the Xuan Tian Wu Liang Divine Armor.

Chen Guan only kept these high-quality items. He kept the smaller, rarer treasures and discarded the larger ones, mainly because they were difficult to carry away.

Even so, Chen Guan was carrying several peerless treasures and divine weapons, as well as several pieces of peerless armor and other protective gear, all packed into a large bundle.

"Fellow Daoist, shall I let my water buffalo carry it for you?" Zhang Chunxiang said as she came over.

"That works too." Chen Guan placed the bundle on the back of the water buffalo.

He also has a pet, but in a place like this, it would be a waste of combat power to summon a pet specifically to carry things. In critical moments, he would have to summon it back first before he could summon the pet he needed again. If something happened, there wouldn't be enough time to do so many things.

The silly bird wandered back into the valley on its own, pecking at grass seeds with its head down, completely unaware of the danger. Its intelligence was indeed too low.

Chen Guan looked at Zhang Chunxiang, who understood his meaning and shook her head, saying, "My water buffalo has already passed the test."

"Kuang Liu, can your Persian Cat beat that stupid bird?" Chen Guan asked Kuang Liu again.

"What do you mean?" Kuang Liu was stunned, looking at Chen Guan in disbelief.

“Besides you, there’s probably no one else who needs it here. Have Persecat try to kill it,” Chen Guan said.

The guess came true, but Kurumi was still somewhat incredulous: "Your Sengoku passed the test?"

Chen Guan nodded: "You've already managed to pass by luck. You can wait a while before you go kill it, so as not to be mistaken for interfering in the wolf pet's battle. It's better to be careful."

When Kuang Liu and the others heard Chen Guan say this, their expressions all became strange.

Yang Lang had been scheming for a long time, trying to target Chen Guan, but little did he know that Chen Guan had already passed the test.

In retrospect, all of Yang Lang's actions seem somewhat nonsensical.

He killed nine cultivators and lost his own life, yet all his methods were utterly useless. His various maneuvers were incredibly skillful, but it was all in vain; he even lost his own life.

After waiting a while, Kurumi finally let Persecat enter the valley to hunt down the silly bird.

The Persian cat was indeed too weak. Even though the silly bird was so stupid, its teeth and claws couldn't leave a fatal wound on the silly bird in a short time.

Fortunately, the Persian cat was very agile and kept chasing and attacking the silly bird. It took more than an hour to finally kill the silly bird.

It's said that the silly bird was killed, but in reality, the silly bird died from excessive blood loss.

After completing their mission, Chen Guan and his two companions left the place, as there was no need for them to interact with other cultivators in such a place.

After the test ended, another small whirlwind appeared, enveloping Perseus, Sengoku, and the water buffalo.

Each of the three received an additional 0.1 growth rate increase. The Warring States, which originally had a growth rate of only 1.14, now has a growth rate of 1.34, which is about the same as the growth rate of ordinary Mystic Spirits.

"I wonder how many more rounds of this test there will be. If there are ten rounds in total, wouldn't the growth rate of the Warring States period be able to reach over 2.0?" Chen Guan thought to himself happily.

"The third round of testing begins... Take your pet up Tiger Mountain... Find the entrance to the tiger's den..." The mysterious voice sounded again.

"They only mentioned climbing the mountain, but didn't say where the tiger's den is. Tiger Mountain is a huge mountain range. If we're unlucky, we might not be able to find the entrance to a small cave for a month, right?" Kuang Liu pondered. "Fortunately, there's no time limit this time."

"Let's get to Tiger Mountain first; this hurdle probably won't be easy," Chen Guan said thoughtfully.

The three headed towards Tiger Mountain. It seemed not far, but it took them more than seven hours to reach the foot of Tiger Mountain while riding their pet mounts.

Seeing Tiger Mountain up close is even more breathtaking. Not only does the mountain rise high into the clouds, but it also seems to stretch for thousands of miles with no end in sight.

Although they encountered some mysterious spirits along the way, they did not dare to go on a killing spree here, and instead avoided those mysterious spirits.

“This mountain must stretch for thousands of miles, right? My previous estimate was too conservative. If we rely solely on luck, an average person might not be able to find it in their entire life.” Kuang Liu looked at Chen Guan and said, “You have incredible luck. You say where to look, and we should be able to find it.”

Chen Guan shook his head and said, "I'm the same as you, I don't have any special luck. It was just a coincidence before, but now I definitely can't rely on luck."

Zhang Chunxiang looked at Hushan and said, "If it's just a test of luck, there's no need for all this trouble. Since such a test has been arranged, there should be a way to complete it, instead of making us blindly search in the mountains."

After a pause, Zhang Chunxiang continued, "I know a little about feng shui secrets, and I can roughly deduce some of the veins and feng shui treasure sites of Tiger Mountain, but whether those treasure sites are tiger dens is beyond my knowledge."

"It's better than us searching like headless flies," Chen Guan said with a smile.

Zhang Chunxiang nodded slightly, surveying the terrain of Tiger Mountain, and said, "In general feng shui, mountain ranges are often regarded as dragon veins. Some special locations on the dragon veins are called treasure caves, which are extremely special places in the mountain range. For example, the dragon's eye is a treasure cave."

“This Tiger Mountain is different from ordinary mountains. We cannot determine the location of its treasure burial sites by looking at the dragon veins, but by looking at it as a tiger. In my judgment, there are about seven places that can be called treasure burial sites.”

"Based on location, we can divide them into several areas: tiger's head, tiger's spine, tiger's claws, tiger's heart, tiger's tail, tiger's yang, and tiger's eyes. These areas definitely contain treasure troves. There are also some other more hidden treasure troves, which require us to go deep into the mountains and make a more detailed judgment based on the mountain terrain and water veins."
