God of Pets

Chapter 402 The Last Great Tomb
The battalion commanders in the corps are all very capable, no less so than Bai Yueguang and Zhu Hongzhi.

What's even more remarkable is that the entire legion can achieve coordinated combat between pets and cultivators, and the level of completion is quite high, making it a true pet legion.

When Chen Guan was observing the corps, the people in the corps were also observing him.

In the eyes of the Bright Army, Chen Guan was the man who stole their commander's woman. Naturally, they were very curious about what kind of man he was and what kind of ability he had to snatch a woman from a man like Xiu Jieming.

Judging from its appearance alone, it doesn't seem particularly remarkable.

Although he is tall and strong, his face looks like that of a boy next door, without the imposing aura of a powerful figure.

Although they had heard of some of Chen Guan's achievements, it was hard to say how much of those achievements were exaggerated.

Given Chen Guan's background, Ji Nanhong would likely be of some help to him. As to how much of his achievements were due to his own efforts, it is unknown.

"So Miss Ji likes this younger brother type, no wonder our corps commander isn't popular with her." Meng Xian, the battalion commander of the 7th Battalion, chatted casually with Lin Zi, the battalion commander of the 5th Battalion, next to him.

The battles had ended before the two battalions even had a chance to fight, and they were all on standby, getting bored out of their minds.

Lin Zi glanced at Chen Guan, who was riding the Zhaoye Lion Horse and following Xiu Jieming, blinked and said, "There's nothing wrong with a relationship between an older woman and a younger man, the only problem is that he might be a spendthrift."

Meng Xian curled his lip and said, "It's only a matter of time. Even if it's not now, it definitely will be in the future."

"How did you know?" Lin Zi asked, puzzled.

"They were never going to have any offspring anyway; it was just a matter of who would eat them and how they would eat them," Meng Xian said.

“That’s true. Miss Ji is also pitiful. If she were a man, she wouldn’t have so many troubles. In this matter, this era is still not kind enough to women.” Lin Zi, as a woman, said with some emotion.

The team swept through the depths of the imperial tomb, encountering three ghost emperors along the way, but they made no ripples under the army's control.

The imperial mausoleum is filled with one large tomb after another, and within each of these tombs, there may be a ghost emperor.

Most of the ghost emperors in the large tombs have been killed by their predecessors over the course of thousands of years. Only the last large tomb has remained undestroyed, and no one has ever seen the ghost emperor within it.

Hu Quan followed the army at a distance, using the terrain within the imperial tomb to observe the situation of the army and Chen Guan.

Xiu Jieming did not send Chen Guan into battle, which was within Hu Quan's expectations. If it were him, he would also arrange for Chen Guan to die during the attack on the final tomb, rather than sending him into battle at this time.

"According to records, the Heavenly Court army has attacked that nameless tomb seventeen times, and all of them failed. The Yellow Springs Yin Soldiers outside that tomb are almost endless and of very high level, including many level 20 or higher level three awakening secret spirits."

"The four Yellow Springs Yin Generals should all be level 30 peerless secret spirits. Such beings could be Ghost Emperors in other great tombs. But in this nameless great tomb, they can only be Yin Generals."

"With the four Yellow Springs Yin Generals and their inexhaustible ability to summon Yin soldiers, in the seventeen recorded attacks, the first few times they couldn't even break through the Yin soldier formation. The later times, however, they broke through the Yin soldier formation and killed the Yellow Springs Yin Generals."

"Unfortunately, before that great tomb, the Yellow Springs General seemed to have the ability to resurrect infinitely. After finally killing him, we still failed in the end when faced with the even more powerful Yellow Springs General after his resurrection."

Hu Quan recalled the information about the imperial tomb and secretly pondered: "The Bright Army should be able to break through the Yin Army Formation, but to kill the Yellow Spring Yin General, Xiu Jieming will probably have to take action himself. At that time, Chen Guan will not be able to stay out of it either, which will be the best opportunity to take his life."

The army continued its advance and finally reached the last large tomb of the imperial mausoleum. Here was a separate garden, so large that even after the army of tens of thousands entered the garden, they couldn't see even the edge of it.

The surroundings were shrouded in mist, and in the distance, a tomb mound that resembled a mountain could be seen, appearing and disappearing in the mist.

At the same time, what can be seen are rows of Yin soldiers from the Yellow Springs in the mist.

Unlike the wandering ghost soldiers of the underworld outside other large tombs, the ghost soldiers of the underworld here stand in neat rows, motionless like statues, exuding a strong aura of power and menace.

Just by looking at its imposing presence, it surpasses any other ghostly army from the underworld.

Even more terrifying is that the Yellow Springs Yin Army battle formation is shrouded in mist, with no end in sight. The battle formation seems to extend all the way into the depths of the fog, and it is impossible to know exactly how many Yellow Springs Yin Army soldiers there are.

"Let's test their methods first," Xiu Jieming said to Commander Yang Huai beside him.

Yang Huai responded and commanded his troops to charge against the Yin soldiers' battle formation.

The equipment was very standard; each soldier only summoned two pets: one was a mount, and the other was a battle pet that fought alongside him.

The moment the ghostly soldiers clashed, everyone sensed a difference in intensity.

The vanguard battalion, which had previously been able to crush everything outside, was unable to break through the Yin soldiers' battle formation this time, and the two sides were locked in fierce fighting.

After watching for a while, Chen had to admit that Xiu Jieming was indeed skilled in military management. The vanguard battalion's level of human-pet coordination in combat had reached a superb level.

Faced with the endless stream of Yellow Springs soldiers surging in like a tidal wave, not only did chaos not occur, but the situation was stabilized.

Those Yin soldiers from the Yellow Springs were surprisingly strong. Most of them were at the third level of awakening, and they also had strong battle formation abilities, with a level of proficiency no less than that of well-trained veterans.

The vanguard camp couldn't gain much advantage, and the endless stream of ghost soldiers made it impossible for them to break through.

"Let's begin." Xiu Jieming watched for a while before issuing the order again.

Yang Huai issued orders to the other battalions, and the entire army launched an attack, officially heading towards the Emperor's Tomb.

The army forcefully broke through the Yin soldiers' battle formation, and facing the endless Yellow Spring Yin soldiers, they fought their way out and advanced towards the great tomb.

Chen Guan stayed by Xiu Jieming's side and did not need to fight for the time being.

As the army charged forward, they got closer and closer to the great tomb, and soon they could vaguely see a high platform in front of it.

The platform was about the size of a basketball court, over three meters high, and four underworld generals rode horses on it, standing quietly and guarding the large tomb behind them.

Behind them were still rows of neatly arranged ghost soldiers from the underworld; it was unknown how many ghost soldiers there were.

The entrance to the large tomb is right behind the platform; they have to break in from there.
