God of Pets

Chapter 440 Drawing the Sword
Chen Guan turned his head and saw that a member of the special forces team had dug up a sword spirit from the sand dunes.

The sword spirit and the ones Chen Guan dug up looked similar, with the same shape, and were stuck in a black rock.

Except for its size, it was exactly the same as the sword spirit that Chen Guan had obtained.

The rock into which the sword spirit is stuck is about half a person's height. Judging from the length of the sword hilt, the overall length of the sword spirit is estimated to be around four to five feet.

Wang Lian was very excited and immediately ordered people to continue digging nearby.

But after digging for a long time, they still couldn't find a single sword spirit.

Chen Guan chuckled inwardly: "It would be a miracle if you could dig it up. I don't know how this sword spirit ended up here alone. I've already dug up most of the sword spirits."

Wang Lian secretly communicated with the Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons: "Why is there only one sword spirit here?"

"Probably not. When I saw the sword spirit fall before, I saw twenty or thirty sword beams. Look again, there should still be some," said the Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons.

"We've practically turned the whole area upside down, but this is the only one left. Could it have crashed somewhere else? Could you help us sense it again?"

“I already sensed it for you once before, and you were just fighting with your weapon, so you’re already quite exhausted. I can’t help you now.” The Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons fell silent.

She was also somewhat dissatisfied with Wang Lian. The reason she chose Wang Lian was to use his talent and special secret techniques to fix her own problems.

Not only have she not been able to completely resolve her own problems, but she also has to sacrifice for Wang Lian. If this continues, the health she has finally managed to recover a little will probably get worse and worse.

Seeing that the Lord of Ten Thousand Soldiers remained silent, Wang Lian was helpless.

In order to obtain the Lord of All Weapons, her contract with him was different from that of a normal pet contract; she had no right to force the Lord of All Weapons to do anything.

"We've been digging for ages, and apart from this one sword spirit, we haven't seen a single thing. Could there be only one sword spirit here?" someone said breathlessly.

“The other sword spirits might be in different places. Let’s take this sword spirit first and then look for the others,” Wang Lian said.

Dina nodded and looked at Chen Guan.

Wang Lian also turned her gaze to Chen Guan, fearing that he might try to take it away.

The Lord of Ten Thousand Soldiers has not yet recovered, and she is not confident that she can stop Chen Guan.

"You're the ones who found it, so why are you looking at me like that?" Chen Guan said calmly.

He didn't intend to steal the sword spirit; he mainly wanted to see if Wang Lian and the others could obtain a sword spirit pet if they drew the sword spirit.

Wang Lian was delighted to hear this, but said aloud, "Brother Dong, when we find more sword spirits, you can try your luck and maybe even get a sword spirit pet."

Dina summoned the decapitator from the team and asked him to pull out the sword spirit.

The Decapitator has a talent for luck, which increases the chance of transforming a sword spirit into a pet.

The third-awakened decapitator gripped the sword hilt with both hands and exerted all his strength, only to find that the sword spirit remained motionless, still firmly embedded in the rock.

“Something’s not right… Why can’t I pull out this sword spirit…” The Decapitator paused, looking at Dina and Wang Lian.

They had never encountered this situation before. Dina thought for a moment and said, "I have tried to extract weapon spirits such as sword spirits and knife spirits before, but I have never seen this situation. It should be easy to pull them out normally."

With that, Dina told the executioner to step back, and she tried it herself. The result was the same; the sword was embedded in the rock, truly unmovable. Everyone lined up and tried one by one, but the result was the same—no one could pull the sword out.

Wang Lian also tried, but she couldn't pull it out either.

Chen Guan had anticipated that they wouldn't be able to pull it out. When he tried to pull it out himself before, he couldn't even do it with his own strength. He had to use the power of the giant spirit to finally pull the sword spirit out.

The power of a typical practitioner of the Three Awakenings is definitely insufficient to lift it.

Wang Lian didn't speak. Chen Guan guessed that she was probably communicating with the mysterious spirit of the Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons, asking how to pull out the sword spirit.

"Dong-ge, why don't you give it a try?" Dina said to Chen Guan, who was standing next to her.

"Forget it, I won't try. If you can't pull it out, I probably can't either." Chen Guan shook his head and refused. He had to use all his strength to barely pull the sword out.

If he were to use the power of the giant spirit to its fullest extent now, his body shape would change, and they would be able to see something.

“I know how to pull the sword spirit out,” Wang Lian suddenly said.

"Is there some other reason behind this?" Dina asked.

“Ordinary sword spirits are indeed not very particular, but this sword spirit is a bit different. It was born from extraterrestrial meteorite iron, and the extraterrestrial meteorite iron that gave birth to it was previously tainted with the blood of some kind of mysterious spirit. As a result, the sword spirit that was born also possesses a rather special spiritual consciousness because of that mysterious spirit's blood. It can only be pulled out of the extraterrestrial meteorite iron when one's spiritual consciousness is in harmony with it,” Wang Lian explained.

"Then how can we achieve a connection? We've all tried, and no one could pull it out. Does that mean our spiritual connection with it isn't compatible?" Dina asked after thinking for a moment.

“It can only be said that our compatibility with it is not high enough, but it’s not without a chance. There is a very simple and clumsy way to improve our compatibility: drip blood on the sword. That might increase our compatibility, and then we will be able to pull it out,” Wang Lian said.

"Isn't that just a blood oath?" Dina laughed.

"Pretty much. Most people think it's blood recognition, but it's not actually recognition. It just increases the compatibility." Wang Lian pondered for a moment and then said, "But not everyone's blood can increase compatibility. It needs to have certain similar properties to the blood of the secret spirit that is stained with meteorite iron in order to increase the compatibility."

"But it can only improve the compatibility. To truly draw the sword, one needs to reach a certain level of swordsmanship and resonate with the sword spirit. Only then will the sword spirit obey the will of the swordsman."

"What are the attributes of that Mystic Blood?" someone asked.

"I don't know, so we can only try again. Who wants to go first?" Wang Lian looked at everyone.

Since they had an agreement beforehand that it didn't matter who pulled it out, Wang Lian naturally didn't want to be the first to do so.

One of the team members stepped forward, pricked his finger, dripped blood onto the blade of the sword spirit, and then went to draw the sword.

As a result, the blood slid down the sword without sticking to it, so he was unable to pull out the sword spirit.

One by one, the other team members tried to draw their swords out by dripping blood, but the result was the same as before; none of them were able to pull out the sword spirit.

Dina tried it and had the same result; it had no effect at all.

Wang Lian was the last to try, and she felt a little smug.

Because she knew she would be able to pull out the sword spirit.
