God of Pets

Chapter 433 Searching for the Sword Spirit
"Isn't this Dina Xiu Yingmei's sister?" Chen Guan asked, puzzled. The golden mythical beast and the golden armor were exactly the same as Xiu Yingmei's. Even if she wasn't Xiu Yingmei's sister, she should still have some connection with the Xiu family. How did she end up with Wang Lian?

And what exactly are they trying to do by coming to this godforsaken place?

Chen Guan knew Wang Lian; she was the kind of person who wouldn't do anything without a reason, so she must have come here for a purpose.

After listening for a while without hearing any more useful information, Chen Guan decided to lie in wait here and find out what they wanted to do here.

Since it was already evening, they did not leave the oasis but returned to it.

Chen Guan lay in wait outside until nightfall before cautiously sneaking into the oasis and finding their camp.

Ordinary eagles also experience impaired vision at night, and the black eagle is no exception.

It stood guard on Wang Lian's shoulder, but failed to spot Chen Guan hiding there.

Chen Guan didn't dare get too close either, as there were pets patrolling all around them.

Chen Guan observed for a while and could see more than a dozen people, but most of them looked like bodyguards or followers. It seemed that the only people in charge here were Wang Lian and Dina.

Those followers all seemed to be quite strong; they were probably all cultivators at the third level of enlightenment.

However, it is obvious that apart from Uncle Ying who is following Wang Lian, all the other cultivators are Dina's people.

"Wang Lian, are you sure there really is a sword spirit's nest in this Golden Sand Desert?" After eating, Dina sat by the campfire and asked Wang Lian.

“There’s absolutely no mistake. You know that person’s temper; she wouldn’t stoop to lying. The Sword Spirit’s Nest is definitely nearby,” Wang Lian said with absolute certainty.

"Is there no exact location?" Dina felt that this place was too dangerous. If she couldn't find the Sword Spirit's Nest soon, she was considering retreating. She couldn't let her team take such a big risk.

She was lucky today; she encountered that terrifying, colossal mystic and still managed to come back alive.

If she's unlucky one day, her team might be wiped out.

“The terrain and extent of the desert are constantly changing. When she saw the Sword Spirit's Nest, it was many years ago…” Wang Lian explained to Dina.

Upon hearing this, Chen Guan's heart skipped a beat: "Now I know why Wang Lian came here. It turns out there is a sword spirit's nest here."

Sword spirits are also a type of mystic spirit. Unlike beast and plant mystic spirits, sword spirits belong to the weapon type of mystic spirits.

Similar spirits include sword spirits, gun spirits, and so on, which are also a major category of spirits.

However, unlike beast-type spirits, these spirits are generally born in a mining area.

The same applies to sword spirits. They are born from mines and absorb minerals as energy to grow. Sword spirits born from different mines will have different attributes and varieties.

However, artifact spirits have a very strange characteristic: no matter how high their level, if they are separated from minerals for too long, they will die and become artifacts without sentience.

Therefore, many human cultivators are very keen to find the mystical spirits of artifacts.

Once you pull them out of the ore, you can obtain a natural, secret weapon.

If you're lucky, you can transform an artifact-type spirit pet into an artifact-type spirit pet.

However, the spirits and secret spirits are hidden in underground mines, and you can't usually encounter them. To find them, you must first find the mines in the secret realm.

"If we can't find it in the last two days, we should retreat. The Golden Sands Desert is too dangerous," Dina said thoughtfully. "Captain Dina, please reconsider. Those sword spirits are extraordinary. According to that person, a Mystic God might be born there. If we can find them, we can at least obtain a sword of Mystic God quality. If we're lucky, we might even be able to get a Mystic God sword spirit as a pet..." Wang Lian continued to persuade her.

After listening for a while, Chen Guan roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Wang Lian heard from someone that there were sword spirits here, but with her and Uncle Ying's combined strength, they were not capable of coming here to search the entire Golden Sand Desert to find those sword spirits.

So she partnered with Dina, having Dina's team take charge of protecting their safety and finding the sword spirit in the desert.

Dina's team looks like they have the style of the Heavenly Army, but they are not wearing the uniforms of the Heavenly Army, and we don't know their origins or why Wang Lian would want to cooperate with them.

Chen Guan estimated that Dina's relationship with the Heavenly Army was definitely not ordinary, and it might really be related to the Xiu family.

As for the "certain person" that Wang Lian mentioned, Chen Guan guessed it was the secret spirit she obtained from the Dushan Sect, that pretentious female spirit.

"If there really is a sword spirit here, that would be an incredible stroke of luck." Chen Guan's greed was piqued; he certainly wouldn't let such a good thing slip by.

The Blade & Soul is a treasure from head to toe. It would be best to get the pet, but even if you can't get it, it's still a very good quality sword or secret treasure.

Moreover, the chance of transforming artifacts into spirit pets is very high; just play a few and you might get a pet.

Moreover, Wang Lian said that there might be a sword spirit of the Mysterious God level inside, and it would be even better if we could find it.

With this thought in mind, Chen Guan decided to go and look for it himself first.

He possesses night vision, unaffected by day or night, and might be able to find those sword spirits before Wang Lian and the others.

"Anyway, they don't know the exact location either, so everyone's just taking their chances." Chen Guan listened for a while longer, but didn't get any more useful information, so he left the oasis and began his plan to find the sword spirit.

Tracking Wang Lian and the others is unrealistic; they have pets like Black Hawk, and tracking them during the day would make it too easy for them to spot you.

Although Chen Guan wasn't afraid of being discovered by them, and could simply eliminate them all, there was no need for it.

In the darkness, with nothing to fear, Chen Guan summoned Ghost Eye and rode it to search the desert.

The higher you stand, the farther you can see; you might just find it.

Generally speaking, Blade Spirits and the like should be found in underground mines. To find them, you have to dig down underground first.

However, judging from what Wang Lian said, these sword spirits should not be buried underground, but above ground.

"So many years have passed. Even if it was originally on the ground, it should have been buried by sand by now, right?" Chen Guan searched for several hours but found nothing.

As far as the eye can see, there is nothing but sand.

In this situation, the chances of those sword spirits not being buried by the sand are extremely low.

"No... we'll never find them this way... we need to think of something..." Chen Guan pondered, trying to figure out how to find those sword spirits.

After thinking it over, it seems there isn't a very good solution.

The Warring States had a keen sense of smell, but it had never seen those sword spirits, never smelled their scent, and had no way of finding them.
