God of Pets

Chapter 436 A Special Fate

Chen Guan looked at Mingfei, who quickly explained, "I haven't finished yet, don't be in such a hurry."

"Picking the Asuka requires a special method. If an ordinary person touches it, it will turn to ashes just like before, and it will be impossible to pick it."

"How do we harvest it?" Chen Guan asked.

"It's not a question of how to pick them, but who picks them," Mingfei said, looking at the Asuka. "The Asuka itself has such special characteristics, otherwise it wouldn't be one of the most difficult main ingredients to obtain in the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill."

"Get to the point." Chen Guan wasn't in the mood to listen to her rambling.

"Only unmarried women are allowed to pick the Asuka. Anyone else who touches it will damage it and make it impossible to pick," said Consort Ming.

"Can't unmarried female spirits be plucked?" Chen Guan asked.

"Yes, but I can't," Consort Ming said.

Chen Guan understood what Mingfei meant, but at this time, where could he find an unmarried woman or a female spirit?

"Wang Lian probably won't work, but Dina might be able to. Besides them, there's no one else we can find right now," Chen Guan thought to himself.

There are only a few hours left until sunrise.

He had already gone far away from the oasis where Wang Lian and the others were, and now it would probably be too late to rush over and bring them back.

"What should we do?" Chen Guan didn't want to miss such a money-making opportunity, but even if he used the Pure Yang Sword Immortal technique to travel the whole way, it would still take at least a day. These few hours probably wouldn't even be enough to make half a trip.

After much thought, it seems there isn't a good solution.

Chen Guan could only watch helplessly as these Tomorrow Flowers disappeared after dawn.

"Some things can't be forced. That's just how life is. What's meant to be will be, and it's not up to us." Chen Guan put Mingfei away and had no more desire to rest. He summoned Ghost Eye back to rest and decided to continue his journey on his own two legs.

These flowers are best left unseen, rather than being here to admire them but unable to pick them, which would only cause frustration.

Chen Guan left the sand dune and traveled with Fu Tianji.

After walking for a while, they suddenly heard several roars of mysterious spirits behind them, followed by the sounds of fierce fighting.

"Isn't that the direction where Asuka is located? Could it be that some secret spirit is fighting for Asuka?" Chen Guan's heart stirred, and he immediately led Lao Fu back.

If a mysterious spirit truly has the ability to pluck the Asuka flower, then he can use the "mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind" tactic to snatch the Asuka flower from the spirit's grasp.

When Chen Guan rushed back to the sand dune where Asuka was located, he saw a colossal Mystic Spirit and a group of Mystic Spirits fighting in the distance.

The colossal spirit is very similar to the scorpion-man Chen Guan killed; both are anomalies composed of a human body and a scorpion. However, this scorpion-man is smaller than the one Chen Guan killed, about half the size.

Moreover, the part that forms the human body has distinct female characteristics, unlike the scorpion-people who were previously full of male characteristics.

The mystic spirits fighting her were a motley crew of all sorts, with dozens of them besieging the female scorpion.

"There must be some special fate involved," Chen Guan observed. He saw that the spirits were being commanded by people; they were all pets. And the people commanding them were Wang Lian and Dina's group.

Under Dina's command, everyone used their pets to attack the female scorpion. The female scorpion's combat power was significantly weaker than the previous scorpion, but she still appeared extremely fierce and domineering in the face of dozens of mysterious spirits, forcing the pets to use guerrilla tactics to trap her.

"Wang Lian and the others obviously recognize the Tomorrow Flowers, otherwise they wouldn't have needed to fight so fiercely with the female scorpion people." Chen Guan's mind raced as he thought about how to get those Tomorrow Flowers.

"Should I go out and help them pick the flowers now, or wait until they've picked them and then sneak up behind them?" Chen Guan observed for a while and saw that they were fighting back and forth with the scorpion people. Going out to help them now would not be considered helping them, but rather might be seen as stealing their secret spirits and tomorrow flowers.

After thinking for a while, Chen Guan decided to wait and see, as going out now was not a good time to do anything.

Wang Lian, Dina, and the others originally thought they should be able to defeat this giant female scorpion, but who knew that a huge demonic scorpion light and shadow suddenly appeared on the female scorpion's body, and her strength increased dramatically.

The scorpion's tail split into nine, and in a flash, it pierced through the bodies of nine level 30 pets.

Even a giant blood pet with extremely high defense, like the Shield Elephant, is as fragile as paper in front of the Scorpion Tail, its shield-like body being pierced through directly.

The loss of nine of their front-line pets severely weakened the team, throwing their pet battle formation into chaos.

The Scorpion Man entered killing mode, relying on his physical strength far exceeding that of other Mystic Spirits of the same level, and his unparalleled power, causing chaos and destruction in the pet battle formation.

"We can't hold on any longer... We have to retreat..." Dina's heart was bleeding.

The pets that were killed were all tank pets that were at the front. These were the most needed battle pets for the team, and they were also the ones that the team spent a lot of money to collect one by one.

Nine of them were killed in an instant, a devastating loss.

It's uncertain whether the reward Wang Lian gave them will be enough to buy these pets. The main issue is that rare pets like the Shield Elephant are extremely hard to come by, and many teams and individuals want to own such a top-tier tank pet, not just because of the money.

If we can't find the sword spirit, we'll suffer a huge loss this time.

Although Dina was unwilling, she had no choice but to cut her losses in time.

"I'll cut it down," Wang Lian said slowly, pointing her finger. Tiny steel particles flew from her fingertips, enveloping her body and forming a full-body armor with a mirror-like effect, making her look like a steel female warrior.

Chen Guan recognized the armor immediately. He had seen the back of the mysterious god's son before, and it was a mirrored armor with black trim. There was no mistake.

"That pretentious female mystic god has actually been kept alive by Wang Lian, and she can even fight now. I never expected that." Chen Guan took the opportunity to see how the female mystic god's abilities compared to Ming Fei's.

After merging with the female mystic, Wang Lian stood on the sand dune, his hands forming a hand seal, and softly uttered, "Rise!"

For a time, everyone's weapons, whether they were secret treasures or forged weapons, whether they were knives, swords, spears, axes, or anything else, were all affected.

All the weapons broke free from their original owners' hands and gathered around Wang Lian.

More than a dozen weapons, along with the throwing knives on Wang Lian's own body, hovered around her. As she pointed a finger at the female scorpion, the weapons shot through the air, flying and weaving, constantly tearing apart the female scorpion's body.

The female scorpion, with her fists and tail, was no match for the numerous weapons slashing and attacking her from above. Before long, her body was covered in wounds, and blood splattered everywhere.

Some throwing knives and swords even pierced directly into her body, constantly moving and causing damage inside.

"That pretentious female mystic is something else! She can actually control other people's weapons!" Chen Guan noticed that even though he was so far from the battlefield, the black iron mace and purple gold melon hammer in Old Fu's hands were trembling slightly, as if they had been affected.
