God of Pets

Chapter 367 A great victory
Chen Guan hadn't expected Fu Tianji to be so effective; the Ghost-Faced Serpent was a top-tier combatant at level 30, yet he killed it so easily.

It seems that Fu Tianji's strength has increased considerably since their previous battle.

"Could it be that Fu Tianji's level is still increasing under these circumstances?" Chen Guan wondered.

It's a good thing overall. He originally thought there would be a fierce battle, but it was resolved so easily.

After smashing the Ghost-Faced Snake, Fu Tianji immediately rushed towards Chen Guan.

Chen Guan discovered that Fu Tianji hadn't brought back the secret core that the colossal Ghost-Faced Serpent had condensed; somehow it had ended up next to the serpent's corpse.

Chen Guan immediately realized that Fu Tianji was no longer conscious and would not covet these things like a normal human being.

Moreover, he held a black iron mace and a purple gold mace in all eight of his hands, and had no hands to take the secret core.

Chen Guan's heart stirred, and he wanted to pick up the secret core.

Who knew that Ghost Eyes was even faster than him, its massive body charging rapidly toward the giant demon-faced snake.

Chen Guan knew that Ghost Eye was definitely after the corpse of Ghost-Faced Snake, and he hesitated slightly, considering whether or not to let Ghost Eye devour the corpse of Ghost-Faced Snake.

Once Ghost Eye swallows it, it will most likely awaken to its third awakening. Chen Guan doesn't know when he will be able to awaken to his third awakening, and he will be unable to summon it again for a long time.

After only a brief moment of hesitation, Chen Guan let it devour the corpse of the ghost-faced snake.

This is a rare opportunity. Since Ghost Eye has such a chance, let it awaken for the third time first.

Upon reaching the Ghost-Faced Snake, Chen Guan jumped off Ghost Eye's back and reached out to pick up the secret core that Fu Tianji had dropped on the ground.

Ghost Eye charged straight at the Ghost-Faced Serpent's body, opening its mouth to swallow it starting from its tail.

Then a strange scene soon appeared: the Ghost-Eyed Python, which was smaller than the giant Ghost-Faced Snake, slowly swallowed the corpse of the Ghost-Faced Snake.

The corpse of the Ghost-Faced Snake stretched the Ghost-Eyed Python's entire body until it was round and plump, like an inflated balloon, with only the snake's head remaining outside, as it could no longer swallow it.

It looks a bit like a snake swallowing an elephant, which is very strange and bizarre.

With the giant demon serpent killed, no one bothered the phoenix flock anymore. The phoenixes restored order and continued to prey on the demon serpents that were swept along by the water.

The pressure on the downstream corps was greatly reduced, and when they looked at Fu Tianji, who had been following Chen Guan, their eyes were filled with awe.

At the same time, they were greatly encouraged. Even such a terrifying, colossal demon-faced serpent had been blasted to pieces, so what else was there to be afraid of?

Chen Guan was a little worried that Ghost Eye might be overeaten, but Ghost Eye eventually swallowed the entire body of the Ghost-Faced Snake and stood there motionless, looking like it was half-dead, slowly digesting.

Chen Guan immediately put away the secret core he found; he couldn't study it here.

As he passed it over, Chen Guan quickly sensed the information inside.

Secret Technique: Frosty Hands (Peerless).

Cultivation requirement: Pure Yin body.

Energy consumption: 72.

Skill level: 1.

"This is exactly the secret technique that suits me! It consumes 72 points of vital energy, second only to the Pure Yang Sword Immortal." Chen Guan was already planning to learn this skill when no one was around. After the giant ghost-faced serpent died, the ghost-faced serpents continued to surge down. The legion fought bitterly from day to night, and then from night to dawn, until the ghost-faced serpent tide finally receded.

Everyone seemed to be on the verge of collapse, but there was more joy than anything else.

After killing a large number of Ghost-faced Snakes, almost every soldier had a Ghost-faced Snake pet, as well as several Ghost-faced Snake secret techniques and methods.

If you can use it yourself, great; if you can't, you can exchange it for points.

Chen Guan, Shi Zhimen, and Bai Yueguang dared not relax. Now that the Ghost-Faced Snake Tide had been driven back, it was hard to say whether the Phoenix would turn its guns on them.

Fortunately, the flock of phoenixes did not rush towards the army; instead, they returned to the giant trees, and then a clear cry came from the largest tree.

Upon hearing that clear cry, the flock of phoenixes immediately spread their wings and took flight once more, transforming into a red canopy that blotted out the sky.

Chen Guan and the others tensed up, ready to fight, but the phoenix flock did not rush towards them. Instead, they rushed to the ground or into the river, grabbing the secret cores with their claws.

Those were the secret cores dropped by the Ghost-Faced Serpents killed by the Phoenix Flock; there were a great many of them, far more than what the Legion had dropped.

Because spirits cannot absorb and learn the secrets and techniques within the secret core like humans, they mostly use the secret core as an energy source, simply absorbing the energy within.

A pet-transformed spirit cannot survive as a pet through its spirit form. Therefore, spirits killed by wild spirits generally will not undergo pet transformation.

At this moment, the phoenix flock grabbed the secret cores one by one, then flew towards the army and released their claws in front of the army.

The secret cores rained down on the open ground in front of the legion; there was no doubt that they were a gift from the phoenixes.

Looking at the secret cores piled up on the ground, Chen Guan was overjoyed.

These are resources delivered by the Phoenix. They don't need to be exchanged for points to give to anyone; they are directly the private property of the legion.

Chen Guan quickly had his men collect all the secret cores, put them in bags, and have the pets carry them on their backs.

Having won a great victory, Chen Guan and his group naturally wouldn't provoke the Phoenix again. Even if they could defeat it, as a natural defensive line against the Ghost-Faced Snakes, they couldn't kill them anymore.

After digesting the Ghost-Faced Serpent, Ghost Eye indeed shed its skin and awakened three times, then returned to Chen Guan's body and could no longer be summoned.

Returning with a large amount of spoils, the entire army was in an uproar when the corps returned to its base.

They brought back so many resources, all sorts of mystical materials and cores, that they carried countless bags, piling them up like small mountains on the corps' parade ground, causing a sensation throughout the entire corps.

After receiving the news, Xiu Haofeng remained speechless for a long time.

He just couldn't understand how Chen Guan had managed to do it.

However, the materials of the Mystic Spirit corpses they brought back were genuine. The pile of Mystic Spirit corpse materials, which looked like small mountains, contained a large number of Three-Awakening Mystic Spirit corpses.

No matter how fake the news from your informants sounds, the materials themselves cannot be faked.

"Damn it..." Xiu Haofeng smashed the cup in a fit of anger.

According to information gathered by their informants, Chen Guan and his group were able to disperse the gathering of a million secret spirits thanks to Shi Zhimen's command throughout the entire process.

Such a record made Xiu Haofeng suspect that Shi Zhimen might have been putting on an act for him.
