God of Pets

Chapter 489 Headshot
After several attempts, many pets dug up various rare and precious herbs, with Polygonum multiflorum being the most abundant.

The He Shou Wu here is truly a rare and exquisite product. Each piece is at least the size of a millstone, and the larger ones are almost as big as a small car.

The other rare and precious herbs that were harvested were also unusually large, and each one was of such high quality that it made people question reality.

Even though these people are well-traveled and knowledgeable, they still rarely see such high-quality natural treasures.

After several attempts, it seems that there are no problems in digging for these natural treasures; at least for now, it is safe.

How to consume these rare and precious herbs is a problem, as the fate of the guard dog is still fresh in everyone's mind.

So after these people dug up a few rare and precious materials, they stopped digging. Someone summoned an unimportant pet and let it try to eat these rare and precious materials to see if the situation of the guard dogs would occur again.

Someone summoned a black bear pet, which was then munching on a he shou wu (a type of medicinal herb).

After gnawing for a while, white smoke suddenly rose from the black bear's body, indicating that its vital energy was overflowing from its body.

All eyes turned to the black bear; the guard dog had been killed in a headshot at that moment.

"It's leveled up...it's gone from level 7 to level 8..." The black bear's owner was overjoyed.

Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing this, and someone said, "Indeed, that guard dog is too weak to absorb the nutrients."

Even so, they still didn't dare to eat it themselves, but instead let their pets try out all sorts of rare and precious ingredients first.

Many pets ate for a while, and no one's head exploded. Instead, quite a few pets leveled up.

The pets summoned to sample the food are all low-level and used as cannon fodder. Now that they've eaten such a highly nutritious food, it's no wonder their levels have increased.

Bang bang! Bang bang!
Just as everyone was overjoyed, they saw the heads of the pets that were eating rare and precious herbs burst open one after another, like a machine gun firing, one after another.

In just a short while, the ground was covered with headless pet corpses.

Everyone was horrified, and the atmosphere became extremely oppressive. No one spoke. The rare and precious materials on the ground suddenly seemed like time bombs. No one dared to touch them anymore. Some people even subconsciously retreated, wanting to stay away from those rare and precious materials that they had once coveted, fearing them like snakes, scorpions, and ferocious beasts.

Chu Yutian's face turned ashen. He had finally obtained the rare and precious materials he had been dreaming of, and these materials were inexhaustible.

But even with all these rare and precious treasures in his possession, he didn't dare to eat a single bite. This feeling of going from heaven to hell made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Are you alright?" Chen Guan asked as he approached Chu Yutian.

"It's nothing." Chu Yutian forced a smile, but it looked worse than crying.

His body was indeed fine, but even this last hope was shattered. He probably would never have the chance to master the Kunpeng Technique again and would have to switch to another secret method in the future.

However, even if he modified a peerless secret technique, it could not compare with the power of the "Kunpeng Technique," and he would probably never have the chance to reach the pinnacle again in his lifetime.

The others gathered in small groups, discussing what to do.

The current situation is quite awkward. With so many rare and precious materials in their possession, no one dares to touch them, which is truly unpredictable.

"Do you think it's possible that these rare and precious pets can't be eaten?" someone suddenly asked.

Although his voice wasn't loud, many people heard it and turned to look at him. Chen Guan recognized the cultivator; he was a vice-captain of the Flying Dragon Knights, and his name seemed to be Li Hui. He had always been by Gong Mingwang's side.

At this moment, Li Hui's face was full of excitement: "Those who died from head explosions after eating the rare and precious herbs were all pets. Just because they had problems doesn't mean that human cultivators would have problems too. Perhaps it's because the rare and precious herbs here are different from ordinary ones, and pets cannot eat them..."

Naturally, no one would be willing to try his argument; no one would risk their life for a probability that might not even exist.

But Li Hui was very excited. He grabbed a vermilion fruit and walked towards Chu Yutian's small alliance.

Previously, Chu Yutian's small alliance consisted of prisoners of the Flying Dragon Knights. At this time, Li Hui still regarded them as people he could manipulate at will. He grabbed a cultivator and tried to force the Vermilion Fruit into his mouth to verify certain ideas.

The cultivator's strength level was far inferior to Li Hui's, and he was unable to resist at all. Li Hui grabbed him and forced the Vermilion Fruit into his mouth.

"Let him go!" Chu Yutian, Xie Shixi, and the rest of the small alliance were furious and rushed towards Li Hui.

But Li Hui had already pressed the vermilion fruit onto the man's face. The man kept his mouth shut, shook his head desperately, and struggled, not daring to open his mouth to eat it.

Li Hui crushed the red fruit, and the juice got all over the man's face.

Just as Chu Yutian and the others were about to reach Li Hui and were about to pull him away, they suddenly heard two loud thuds.

The man with the red fruit on his face and mouth, along with Li Hui, both had their heads explode and collapsed dead on the ground.

For a moment, everyone was stunned. If the man had been drinking cinnabar juice, it would be somewhat plausible that he had died.

How did Li Hui die? He didn't eat a single vermilion fruit, yet he still died.

"Could it be that... it's not just consuming rare and precious herbs that leads to death... but destroying them can also cause death..." For a moment, everyone felt a chill run down their spines and couldn't help but shiver.

If someone dies after consuming rare and precious herbs, then it can only mean that there is something wrong with those herbs.

But if they could die even without consuming rare and precious herbs, then what killed them might not be the rare and precious herbs themselves, but a terrifying force that even they could not see.

Xie Shixi's face turned very ugly, and she said in a trembling voice, "Have you noticed a problem?"

"What's the problem?" Chu Yutian, who was closest to him, asked quickly.

"Those pets and people who died from headshots, the way their heads were shot was a bit strange." Xie Shixi's voice trembled violently, as if he had experienced something extremely frightening, and his eyes kept looking around, as if he was searching for something.

"What's wrong?" Chu Yutian didn't understand what he meant.

"I hadn't noticed it before, but I realized something was wrong when Li Hui and the other man's heads exploded."

"If someone's head explodes because of the rare and precious herbs they ingested, it would be like fireworks, with blood splattering in all directions."

"But look at the marks on the ground, the bloodstains are all splattered to both sides..." Xie Shixi said, pointing to the place where Li Hui and the others fell.

When everyone looked over, they indeed found that, just as Xie Shixi had said, the blood splattered in two opposite directions, rather than in all directions.

Many intelligent people were startled at this moment and quickly turned to look at the dead pets.
