God of Pets

Chapter 444 Ships at Sea
At this moment, Chen Guan was standing on the beach with Lao Fu, staring blankly at something on the sea.

As usual, Chen Guan was killing the mysterious spirits by the sea when he saw a ship appear on the sea.

The key point is that Chen Guan recognized the ship.

"How could the Eighth King's Spirit King Ship be here?" Chen Guan saw that the ship was clearly the Spirit King Ship that the Eighth King used to pick up gamblers.

However, Chen Guan remembered that the Spirit King's ship should be on the Yellow Springs River. The palace of the Eighth King, which is the tortoise shell of the Eighth King, is locked on the Netherworld Spring and cannot leave.

"Could it be that the ocean and the Yellow Springs River are connected?" Chen Guan thought to himself, summoned four flower fairies, and then said to Old Fu, "Old Fu, wait for me here, I'll be right back."

Four flower fairies tugged at Chen Guan's clothes, fully demonstrating the power of numbers, and forcefully pulled Chen Guan's body into the air, flying towards the large ship in the sea.

The closer they got, the more certain Chen Guan became that this was indeed the Spirit King's ship.

But there was no one on the ship, nor any sailors in sight; the ship itself sailed on the ocean with the currents and the waves.

Chen Guan landed on the deck and put away all the flower fairies.

Looking around, he still couldn't see anyone.

Chen Guan walked to the cabin door he had visited before and opened it.

He had assumed there would be someone in the cabin, but found it empty, though filled with boxes of cargo, the contents of which he couldn't identify.

Chen Guan went into the cabin and closed the door.

"It seems that the Spirit King's ship is not here to pick up people, but to deliver goods. Where is it delivering goods? Is it taking back goods from the Eight Great Kings Palace, or taking goods out of the Eight Great Kings Palace? Why is there not a single crew member on board?" Chen Guan walked to the neatly stacked cargo boxes, opened one of them, and wanted to see what was inside.

The box was quite sturdy, and ordinary swords and knives could hardly damage it, but Chen Guan used the Asura Blade to break the lock.

Chen Guan opened the lid of the box and was slightly taken aback when he saw what was inside.

Inside the box was a woman dressed in white, wearing a white conical hat and a white veil that covered her face, so her appearance was not visible.

"Is this Teng, the host of the Eight Kings gambling game?" Chen Guan was somewhat surprised. He had initially thought that the Eight Kings might be involved in human trafficking, but upon closer inspection, he realized that this person should be the host, Teng.

Chen Guan listened to her breathing and found that her breathing was long and steady, although very light and subtle, but full of vitality, and she did not seem to have any problems.

"Wake up!" Chen Guan nudged Teng a few times, but Teng didn't react at all.

"That's strange. Why is the host of the Eight Kings gambling game here? And she's locked in a box. Could it be that she did something wrong and the Eight Kings are going to sell her? Where is she going to be sold after being shipped all over the ocean?" Chen Guan was full of doubts.

He reached out and cut the lock on a box next to him. Inside, he found a crew member in black, in the same situation as Teng.

Several boxes were opened in succession, and inside were the crew members in black.

"No wonder there wasn't a single crew member. They were all packed in boxes. What is the Eighth King doing? Is he tired of them and wants to sell off his crew?" Chen Guan was full of doubts.

Chen Guan felt he had to wake her up and ask what had happened. After thinking for a moment, Chen Guan went to the box containing the rattan, lifted her out of the box, and placed her on the floor.

"I wonder what this woman looks like." Curious, Chen Guan took off Teng's straw hat and veil.

Upon seeing Teng's appearance clearly, Chen Guan was somewhat horrified. The scars on Teng's face were crisscrossed, and apart from the area around his eyes, his entire face was covered with scars like centipedes. Even Chen Guan was a little frightened when he saw it.

"How did her face get like this?" Chen Guan quickly put the veil back on her and covered her head with the bamboo hat again.

Chen Guan took out a waking pill and fed it to Teng, hoping to wake her up.

Unexpectedly, the pill really worked. Before long, Teng slowly woke up and opened her eyes.

When she first saw Chen Guan standing in front of her, she was stunned for a moment. Then, when she realized that she was in the cabin and there were other boxes, her face changed drastically and her eyes became filled with fear.

"You...who are you...how did you get here...you've killed me..." Teng's mouth spewed out like a machine gun, giving Chen Guan no chance to speak.

This is what Chen Guan looks like after changing his appearance and physique, so it's normal that Teng doesn't recognize him.

As Chen Guan was speaking, he saw Teng sway and stand up unsteadily, then stagger towards his box. After stepping inside, he reached out to close the lid from the inside.

Chen Guan quickly reached out to block it, looking at the vines inside and said, "Explain yourself clearly first, what exactly happened?"

"It's too late... If you want to die, don't drag me down with you..." Teng said, trying to close the lid again, but Chen Guan grabbed the lid and couldn't pull it open.

Teng was furious and slapped Chen Guan with a palm, which carried an extremely strong shockwave.

Chen Guan used the Purple Qi from the East to exchange a palm strike with Teng. Teng was knocked away along with the box, which crashed into other boxes and immediately fell apart.

Chen Guan was also forced back a few steps by that palm strike, and he was somewhat surprised: "Is this vine so strong? Its palm power is not much weaker than my level 39 Purple Qi from the East."

He subconsciously used the Purple Qi from the East because he sensed the terrifying power of Teng's palm strike.

"You...you killed me...I'll haunt you even as a ghost..." Teng crawled out of the tattered box, his eyes filled with despair and rage, as if he wanted to devour Chen Guan alive.

"You're Teng, the host under the Eighth King, right? What are you doing here?" Chen Guan asked calmly, unconcerned.

"That's the question I should be asking you: Who exactly are you, and why are you on the Spirit King's ship?" Teng calmed down, and the more she thought about it, the more something seemed off.

She didn't recognize Chen Guan, and Chen Guan's clothes and appearance weren't those of a crew member, so how did he get on the ship? Since the Spirit King's ship hadn't reached the shore, it should still be in the Netherworld Sea.

She had never heard of a human being able to board a ship in the Nether Sea, nor did she believe that any human could do such a thing.

“My name is Zi Donglai. I saw this ship on the beach and recognized it as the gambling ship of the Eighth King, so I came aboard to take a look.” After Chen Guan finished speaking, he asked, “What happened to you? Why were you locked in a box? Where is the Eighth King going to sell you?”

Teng was both shocked and furious upon hearing this: "You can actually walk on the Nether Sea? What is your background?"
