God of Pets

Chapter 439 Traveling Together
Because special forces are essentially a department with no real function, most of their members are descendants of officials from their ancestral homes. They are either incompetent and have no powerful departments to work for, so they just coast along in the special forces, or they are spoiled brats who can't be controlled at home and are sent to the special forces for re-education.

For someone of Dina's age to be able to serve as the captain of a special forces team, she must have some connections.

However, she didn't mention her family, and Chen Guan couldn't be sure what her relationship with the Xiu family was.

Dina earnestly invited Chen Guan to travel with her. Chen Guan initially wanted to refuse, but after hearing from Dina that they were searching for a sword spirit and had already made progress, he changed his mind and stayed.

Because Dina said they had located the sword spirits, but the direction she described was not the same as the direction Chen Guan had dug up for those sword spirits.

"Could there be other sword spirits in this desert?" Chen Guan decided to go and check it out with Dina and the others.

Dina refused to mention the Asuka flower, so Chen Guan was even less likely to bring it up. In any case, he had already stored the item on Huangni Island, and it was impossible to get him to give it back.

Wang Lian had some reservations about Dina's behavior.

This Zi Donglai has an unknown origin, yet his strength is so formidable.

He must have taken those Asuka flowers from before.

Dina actually told this person about the sword spirit. Wang Lian thought Dina was a complete idiot and deeply regretted asking her for help this time.

"I wonder where Brother Dong holds a position in the Heavenly Army? I've never heard of you before," Wang Lian said, suppressing her anger and trying to excite Chen Guan by using her charm.

Dina chatted with Chen Guan for a long time, telling him everything, but she only managed to get the name Zi Donglai out, which she didn't know was true or false. She didn't know anything else.

"I'm not a member of the Heavenly Court's army; I'm just temporarily in the secret realm of Beiman Mountain on some business," Chen Guan replied casually.

"If they're not from the Heavenly Court army, then this is even more troublesome," Wang Lian frowned to herself.

If they are from the Heavenly Court army, they might follow the rules, but it's hard to say whether outsiders will follow the rules.

Wang Lian herself is not a rule-abiding person, and she doesn't believe that others will follow the rules when faced with interests.

However, Dina has already revealed the existence of the sword spirit, and if Wang Lian were to say that she wouldn't take Zi Donglai along, she feared that Zi Donglai would immediately turn hostile.

Given Zi Donglai's terrifying protective divine power and powerful secret techniques, Wang Lian, who had just used the Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons, was not confident that she could defeat him.

"Let's make plans after the Lord of Ten Thousand Soldiers recovers." Wang Lian didn't want to clash with Chen Guan right now.

Moreover, Wang Lian was somewhat surprised by Chen Guan's strength. If she could recruit him to her own side, that would be the best outcome.

Uncle Ying is very capable, but he is famous for his lightness skills, unlike Zi Donglai who can fight head-on. Wang Lian felt that if Zi Donglai did not have a background or identity, it would be worthwhile to take him in, even if it came at a price.

Wang Lian and Dina chatted with Chen Guan in a disjointed manner, but Chen Guan avoided the important points and, apart from not answering certain questions, didn't tell the truth in anything he said.

After Wang Lian subtly probed, although she didn't get a direct answer from Chen Guan, she could tell that Chen Guan definitely didn't come from a prominent family.

There are some common sense facts that only people from large families would know, but Chen Guan was unaware of them. This is a natural reaction and cannot be faked.

"They probably don't have much of a background, so maybe it really will work." Wang Lian's interest grew even stronger. Chen Guan followed their group, heading in a direction that was indeed not the place where he had previously unearthed the sword spirit.

"How can you be so sure that there's a sword spirit in that direction?" Chen Guan asked curiously.

Previously, Wang Lian and the others had almost given up because they couldn't find the sword spirit. How come they've found out the sword spirit's location so easily after such a short time?

Dina smiled and said, "You don't know this, but our third young lady of the Wang family has a mysterious divine pet. Her mysterious divine pet is called the Lord of All Weapons, a mysterious spirit that has the ability to control all weapons in the world. It is the direction she guides us."

"The Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons, is that the secret divine pet of the Dushan Sect?" Chen Guan feigned surprise and said, "So you are the one who stood out in the Dushan Sect and obtained the secret divine pet."

Wang Lian smiled and said, "That's because you didn't participate, Brother Dong. Otherwise, with your strength, I probably wouldn't have had a chance."

Chen Guan looked at Wang Lian's eyes, which were as rippling as water, and sneered inwardly: "The old ancestor who used such tricks is now my pet. You still want to use this trick against me? It's like showing off your skills in front of Guan Yu. I'll have Mingfei teach you what the real art of pleasing others is later."

Wang Lian wanted to use the seductive techniques of the "Epang Sutra" to bewitch Chen Guan and make him fall in love with her and join her sect.

But to her utter surprise, the other party was an expert in dual cultivation techniques, practicing the authentic "Emperor's Scripture," which was far more authentic than her cobbled-together "Epang Scripture." How could she possibly be seduced?

Chen Guan pretended not to know and casually chatted with Wang Lian and Dina. He did not deliberately befriend them, but he also did not reject the idea of ​​keeping a distance.

"So that female mystic is the 'Queen of All Weapons,' no wonder she can control other people's weapons. But she has the ability to find sword spirits, why didn't she use it in the first place?" Chen Guan still had some doubts.

Little did he know that the Queen of Ten Thousand Soldiers' body had not recovered, and using her abilities would consume her resources and make her condition worse.

She wouldn't have used her abilities to help Wang Lian unless she was forced to.

If she could return to normal, the female scorpion would have been killed long ago when she was using her weapon to kill the enemy, and there wouldn't have been so much trouble.

Wang Lian only improved the situation of the Lord of Ten Thousand Soldiers; he did not completely solve the problem.

Finally, having no other choice, the Lord of Ten Thousand Soldiers had to sacrifice himself to help Wang Lian and the others sense the location of the sword spirit.

However, she could only vaguely sense the location of the sword spirit. After all, she couldn't expend too much energy to help Wang Lian, as that would damage her already precarious body.

As the group walked until dawn, Chen Guan's address to Dina successfully changed from "benefactor" to "Brother Dong".

"It should be just ahead." Wang Lian roughly judged the location. According to the location given by the Lord of Ten Thousand Soldiers, it should be in this vicinity.

The group began excavation work within the area designated by Wang Lian.

Since it's only a general area, we can only eliminate possibilities one by one in the vicinity.

Chen glanced in the direction they had come from and thought, "Old Fu should be following behind as I said, right? If he's here, we should be able to determine soon whether there's a sword spirit here or not."

"Found it!" someone exclaimed in surprise.
