God of Pets

Chapter 408 Salvage
"Are all the things we retrieved from this water belonging to the Netherworld Emperor?" Hu Quan asked.

The group naturally didn't believe that this was just an ordinary pen; even in the Great Cave Heaven, there probably wasn't such a magical treasure.

"The entire Netherworld belongs to the Great Emperor. Whatever you obtain within it will naturally belong to the Great Emperor," the female Yin General said.

"If this is truly the Netherworld, how vast is that realm? How easy would it be for us to find anything useful?" Hu Quan frowned.

"So it all depends on your fate," the female Yin General said with a smile.

"Can we enter the Netherworld ourselves to find what we want?" Yang Huai suddenly asked.

"Yes, but the Netherworld is the world of the dead. Living people inside will be affected by the power of the Netherworld. Every second you are inside will reduce your lifespan. If you cannot come out of the Netherworld within seven days, you will become a dead person," the female Yin General said.

Upon hearing this, Hu Quan hesitated, unsure whether he should go in and take the plunge.

The woman continued, "Moreover, the Netherworld is extremely dangerous. The power and terror of the various Netherworld creatures are beyond your imagination. It's best not to enter it lightly."

The group had initially suspected that the female demon general was trying to lure them in, but now it seemed that she didn't have that intention and didn't want them to enter.

However, we cannot rule out the possibility that the woman is deliberately saying this as a tactic of retreat.

For a moment, all four hesitated, pondering how to make a decision.

Everyone knows how low the chances are of getting something good when trying to find something in a certain realm.

Despite the fact that the woman could casually retrieve such a magical pen, the group was almost certain that she hadn't just been lucky; she must have known where the pen was beforehand and had simply taken it out.

"Time is running out, and we still need to go to the next place. Since no one is willing to be the first, let's proceed in order. Young master, you are the first to pass the test, so you can go first," the female general said to Chen Guan.

"Could I ask my pet to retrieve it?" Chen Guan asked thoughtfully.

“Of course,” the female general nodded.

Hearing her say that, the group felt relieved, thinking that as long as they didn't fall into the water themselves, there shouldn't be any danger.

With a thought, Chen Guan summoned an ordinary, lonely ghost and asked it to go and fish it out of the jar in his place.

The wandering ghost dipped its arm into the water and explored it further. After a while, it slowly lifted its arm out of the water.

It looked like it had grabbed something heavy. The wandering ghost was lifting it very slowly, looking extremely strained, as if it had used all its strength, but it still couldn't pull the thing out.

Finally, the wandering ghosts reached in with both hands and pulled hard, eventually managing to pull the thing out of the water.

All eyes were on the hands of the wandering ghost, wondering what it was excreting.

"Holy crap..." Chen Guan saw what was coming out of the water and was immediately startled.

The thing the wandering ghost was holding was black hair, black hair like thick seaweed. After being pulled out of the water, part of the hair was pulled up by the wandering ghost and used as a rope to pull it out.

More hair was scattered on the water's surface, looking eerie and terrifying.

As it was pulled, the thing beneath the hair gradually surfaced.

Unsurprisingly, it was the scalp beneath the hair and the snow-white skin on the forehead.

"My God... what the hell did this come out of the toilet... is it Sadako...?" Chen Guan's expression was extremely strange.

Yang Huai and the others stared intently at the person being pulled from the water, their feelings a complex mix. The female Yin General had said they might pull anything out, but they still hadn't expected to pull a living creature out.

However, it is still impossible to determine whether it is dead or alive.

According to the female Yin General, the Netherworld is a world of the dead, so those pulled out of it cannot be living people.

But if that's not a living person, wouldn't that mean we've pulled out a ghost?

They weren't afraid of ghosts because they knew that ghosts in this world were just mysterious spirits, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

But what if the ghost retrieved from the underworld isn't a mysterious spirit, but a ghost in the traditional sense?

As the wandering ghosts pulled, the man's entire head floated to the surface of the water.

Her skin was eerily pale, and her eyes were blood red with no whites. Her entire being seemed to exude an ominous aura.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but after seeing her face, I seemed to be vaguely seeing some black substance emanating from her body, but upon closer inspection, I couldn't see anything at all.

Click!

Before Chen Guan and the others could continue observing, the head opened its mouth, the corner of its mouth splitting all the way to behind its ears, revealing serrated teeth, and bit off the head of the wandering ghost in one bite before sinking back into the water.

Chen Guan looked at the female general and asked, "What's going on here?"

The female ghost smiled and replied, "Young master, your pet just caught a Netherworld creature. The Netherworld is the world of the dead, and the dead are divided into two types: the Nether and the Underworld. That one just now was an Underworld creature."

"I'm not asking you what that thing is. I'm asking you how to calculate it now. The thing we just fished out has fallen back in," Chen Guan said.

The female general thought for a moment and said, "Young master, your pet's intelligence is too low. It grabs whatever it touches without judging or choosing based on its sense of touch, which is why it grabbed a Netherworld. That Netherworld is far more powerful than anyone at this level. Even if everyone combined, they wouldn't be as strong as a single finger of hers."

"It's actually a good thing we didn't pull her up, otherwise we probably wouldn't have survived. The fact that only one Mystic Pet died is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune," said the female Yin General.

"Then wouldn't I have lost out and gained nothing?" Chen Guan said.

“It was my fault for not explaining clearly before, young master. How about this, let’s treat this as a test and give you another chance?” the female Yin general said.

"You two are a pair of scoundrels!" Hu Quan cursed inwardly.

He had never heard of such bargaining during the process of inheritance.

“Okay, but I’ve already tried once, let someone else try first,” Chen Guan said.

"Alright." The female general nodded slightly.

Now it was Yang Huai's turn to curse inwardly. According to the order, it was his turn to retrieve the items next.

Chen Guan caught a ghost and could catch it a second time, but if Yang Huai caught something strange, the female ghost general probably wouldn't give him a second chance.

In this situation, Yang Huaizhen is caught in a dilemma: he can't retrieve it himself, and he can't let his pet do it either.

When pets try to retrieve things, due to their limited intelligence, they can't rely on their sense of touch to judge the situation. They'll grab anything and anything, and if they accidentally pull out something else, they won't be able to retrieve anything at all.

Yang Huai hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, walked to the water vat, rolled up his sleeves, and reached his hand into the water.
