God of Pets

Chapter 362 Beheading
Chapter 362

When I go to the convenience store to buy secret kernels, I already feel that there are an absurd number of secret kernels there.

However, compared to the secret core here, the convenience store seems a bit stingy.

Rare and uncommon quality cores are sold in boxes, and there are also quite a few unique and legendary cores.

Ordinary soldiers only exchange a small number of peerless secret cores for points. The reason why there are still quite a few peerless secret cores under such circumstances is that the legion usually has a person in charge of decapitating high-quality secret spirits. This person is the one who is responsible for delivering the final blow when killing a peerless secret spirit.

The loot from the kills this person receives will not belong to him.

Because that's his job, but his treatment and benefits are far better than those of ordinary soldiers.

Such people usually possess a talent that increases the drop rate of pets or secret cores, and they make a living based on this talent.

Most of the rare and unique pets on the battlefield are killed by such people, who have a special name: "decapitation officers".

"Conquest is still the fastest way to make money!" Chen Guan ordered the transport troops to take the secret cores and travel with the main force.

The troops were constantly engaged in a tug-of-war with the Mystic Spirits, and as their commander, he couldn't be picking out Mystic Cores in front of so many people. He could only wait until the end and find a secluded spot to slowly select them.

After resting for a while, the scattered spirits caught up again. This was part of Shi Zhimen's plan. After a quick and decisive battle to annihilate them, leaving behind thousands of spirit corpses, the legion quickly withdrew from the battlefield, luring the catching spirits to continue playing hide-and-seek among the primeval forests and mountains.

In the sky, killing cranes circled from time to time. After a volley of shots, the killing cranes that flew lower were immediately turned into hedgehogs and fell from the sky.

From time to time, the slaying cranes would turn into particles and fly towards the archers. More than 70% of the soldiers in this unit were proficient in archery.

In the blessed land and secret realm, the bow and arrow is the best weapon, bar none.

It's not easy for the average person to master it; it requires great strength and accuracy. But for these prodigies of the Qilin Legion, bows and arrows are their standard weapons.

Unfortunately, the number of arrows was relatively limited, so in this battle, arrows were rarely used except to shoot down the mystical spirits that were birds.

They had no supplies, and every arrow they used was one less. When time allowed, Shi Zhimen would also have the troops cleaning up the battlefield specifically collect usable arrows.

After nearly two days of fighting, with periods of stopping and starting, the legion has annihilated at least 50,000 Mystic Spirits.

Because they dared not linger for too long, they did not kill too many Mystic Spirits in each battle, and tried to focus on kiting and maneuvering.

Surprisingly, under these circumstances, apart from some wounded soldiers and a few unlucky ones dying unexpectedly, the corps had an extremely low casualty rate.

The three of them, Bai Yueguang and Shi Zhimen, were growing to like Shi Zhimen more and more. They liked the fact that he didn't let his soldiers die easily.

They felt that if it were them, they probably couldn't have done what Shi Zhimen did.

By noon on the third day, some commotion broke out in the group of spirits chasing them, as if some spirits were breaking away from the group.

Chen Guan and the others were overjoyed, knowing that the teams sent to harass the Secret Spirit's lair had likely found the location and were beginning to have an effect.

As the separated Mystic Spirits began to diverge, and even as a large number of Mystic Spirits left the group, the army's opportunity to counterattack finally arrived.

"Kill!" The battle cry of the legion shook the heavens, and the pet troops were the first to confront the giant apes. This was their first time fighting the giant apes head-on; previously, they had always managed to shake them off and kill the easier-to-kill mystical spirits.

These creatures are very difficult to kill because they have strong defenses, great strength, and are quite fast.

The Vajra Giant Ape is also one of the secret spirits that produces the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill. It is at least a level 26 third-awakening secret spirit, and a slightly stronger Vajra Giant Ape can reach level 30.

Because of the split within the Mystic Spirits, these ten thousand-plus Giant Apes have now separated from the main force of the Mystic Spirits, presenting the best opportunity to annihilate them.

Standing three meters tall, these giant apes with golden fur roared and charged forward.

At the very front of the ape troop was a five-meter-tall, dark gold giant ape king, a level 30 peerless spirit.

Relying on his protective secret technique, the Vajra Giant Ape King took the lead, unafraid of the pets' attacks, and charged into the group of pets. He grabbed a Storm Lion pet with the third awakening and tore it in two, leaving blood and internal organs scattered all over the ground.

"Quickly finish this battle..." Shi Zhimen issued a command, instructing them to implement a decapitation tactic and eliminate the King Kong Giant Ape King first.

A level 30 elite decapitation squad cut into the pet army that was fighting against the giant apes. Each member carried a secret weapon and surrounded the giant apes.

With the help of the pet army, wave after wave of seamless attacks quickly depleted the giant ape's energy, and it fell to this elite decapitation squad.

Dark gold surged within its body, transforming into specks that flew towards the hand of a member of the decapitation squad, condensing into a secret core.

That team member was the decapitation officer in the decapitation squad responsible for the final blow. It's unclear whether it was his talent that made the King Kong Giant Ape King obtain its secret core.

With the death of the Ape King, the Giant Ape troop was thrown into chaos, and the horns of counterattack rang out loudly.

The army switched from defense to offense and pursued the giant apes into the encirclement. By this time, the giant apes were demoralized and many were fleeing, having no will to fight.

Pursued by the army, the giant apes left behind two or three thousand corpses and disappeared into the primeval forest.

The troops launched a counterattack back, but by then the Mystic Spirits had scattered and were no match for the army's battle formation. They fought their way back to the River of Flames, killing countless Mystic Spirits over two days and two nights, until they finally made it back.

At this moment, the dense swarms of Mystic Spirits could no longer be seen on the River of Flames. Only a small number of Mystic Spirits remained, neither having retreated nor been drawn to hunt them down.

Instead of sending his troops into the River of Flames immediately, Shi Zhimen found a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, allowing for both advance and retreat, and set up camp to rest and prepare for battle.

Having fought their way back, these soldiers were still in a state of excitement. They might not have realized how much they were going to suffer, but their physical and mental strength was almost at its limit, and they needed to rest.

In fact, they have basically completed this mission. The number of the mysterious spirits gathered in the River of Flames is no more than 50,000, so the threat is no longer significant.

Inside his tent, Chen Guan was toying with a dark golden secret technique core in his hand. This was the secret technique core dropped by the Vajra Giant Ape King.

Secret Technique: Invincible Vajra Divine Skill (Unique Item).

Cultivation requirements: virginity and pure yang body.

Energy Consumption: 36
Skill level: 1.
