God of Pets

Chapter 579 Strange Mysterious Spirit
"What a wonderful thing! I heard from Xia Huang and the others that the axe in King Xia's hand is a replica of this axe. Doesn't that mean that the King has one and I have one, and the one in the King's hand is not as real as mine?" Chen Guan was overjoyed.

With this mountain-splitting axe, combined with his unique movement technique, even if his level doesn't increase, he can still compete with cultivators of the Sixth Sense.

With the divine weapon in hand, Chen Guan felt a sense of exhilaration, as if he owned the world.

"Brothers of the Ziyang Legion..." Xia Huang began, wanting to say something to Chen Guan.

The Xia family's three treasures must be taken back; since they're now in someone else's hands, he has to find a way to get them back.

He wanted to make a trade with Chen Guan, but before he could even speak, he saw Chen Guan hoist Ma Xiaolong onto his back again and rush upstream along the glacier like a ghost.

"I'll go after him." Xia Guagua's eyes lit up, and she took off after Chen Guan.

Rather than saying he wanted to retrieve the secret treasure for the Xia family, it would be more accurate to say he wanted to test his speed with Chen Guan and see who was faster.

At first, Chen Guan really couldn't shake off Xia Guagua. Xia Guagua's speed and agility were comparable to Chen Guan's when he used the Du Sao movement technique.

However, Xia Guagua's energy level did not support him using the secret technique continuously.

Every time he uses a secret technique to chase after someone, he needs to replenish his energy. Even if he keeps taking medicine, his energy cannot keep up with the consumption of using the secret technique.

Xia Guagua, who originally thought she could catch up with Chen Guan, found that every time she got close to Chen Guan, she couldn't keep up with her energy and had to slow down.

What's infuriating is that Chen Guan, who was ahead of him, also slowed down, as if he was deliberately teasing him.

Xia Guagua forcibly overdraws her energy to continuously close the distance, but just as she is about to catch up with Chen Guan, Chen Guan activates his martial arts rhythm, using his Instant Step to further enhance his abilities, making it impossible for Xia Guagua to catch up with him.

When Xia Guagua could no longer hold on and her secret technique dissipated, Chen Guan's speed also decreased.

At this point, Xia Guagua was certain that Chen Guan was faster than him and was simply toying with him.

"Damn it!" Xia Guagua was frustrated because she couldn't catch up with him.

Xia Huang and Xia Hua flew through the air, but they still couldn't catch up with the two people; they had long since been left behind.

After chasing for a while, Xia Guagua was completely exhausted and could only watch helplessly as Chen Guan ran further and further away until he disappeared from sight.

Xia Guagua stopped dejectedly. After a while, Xia Huang and Xia Hua flew over. They were shocked to see that Xia Guagua was alone.

It's unbelievable that even Xia Guagua couldn't catch up with that soldier from the Ziyang Legion, especially since he was carrying someone on his back.

"The Ziyang Legion's achievements are indeed well-deserved; they weren't accomplished by just one or two people." Xia Huang said, looking at the somewhat discouraged Xia Guagua. "Fortunately, we know his background. We can go back to Tianyang City to find him. Right now, the most urgent task is to retrieve the Water-Avoiding Sword and the other fragments of the Mountain and River Map..."

He knew there was little hope of catching Chen Guan, so he could only look for the other two treasures first.

Chen Guan carried Ma Xiaolong until they reached a secluded spot before putting him down.

"Big Brother's movement is incredibly fast; even Xia Gua can't catch up with you," Ma Xiaolong exclaimed.

"It's alright, I guess." Chen Guan looked at Ma Xiaolong and asked, "Do you really want to join the Ziyang Legion?"

“Of course I want to. It’s a chance to get resources and kill demons, instead of wasting my time here alone,” Ma Xiaolong said. “That’s good. After we leave the Extreme Profound Great Yuan Heaven, I will recommend you to join the Purple Sun Legion,” Chen Guan said.

"I heard that Pengxuan Cave is very large, and it must not be easy to reach the Ziyang Legion, right?" Ma Xiaolong asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, with me here, someone will take you to the Ziyang Corps." Chen Guan reassured Ma Xiaolong that he had a plan.

With Fujina Rei around, picking someone up is quite simple.

With the Mountain-Splitting Axe, Chen Guan had the power to kill Six-Sense Mystic Spirits. Even the Wind-Defying Giant God, a Mystic God, couldn't withstand the power of the Mountain-Splitting Axe, so the other Six-Sense Mystic Spirits should be no match for it.

Chen Guan took Ma Xiaolong to hunt down the mysterious spirits in the glacier, hoping to obtain the Water-Avoiding Sword and more fragments of the Landscape Map.

There are so many fragments of the Mountain and River Map. It seems that every mysterious spirit that was once sealed in the glacier has a piece of the map on it. I don't know exactly how many there are.

So many people are hunting down the mysterious spirits in the glacier, and more and more people are coming. Many of the scale maps have already fallen into other people's hands. It seems almost impossible to collect all the Mountain and River Maps at present.

Chen Guan found several mysterious spirits in the glacier, killed them, and obtained several scale diagrams.

But he soon discovered a problem: after killing the mysterious spirit in the glacier, it seemed that nothing was dropped except for the scale diagram.

It's understandable that Chen Guan was unlucky and didn't kill enough Mystic Spirits to get any pets or Mystic Cores.

However, along the way, none of the Ice River Mystic Spirits that other people hunted dropped pets or Mystic Cores.

"That's strange, why can't anything be revealed?" Chen Guan wondered to himself, knowing that there must be something wrong.

He and Ma Xiaolong continued upstream along the glacier, which was at least 30,000 li long and contained countless mysterious spirits. There was no way they could kill them all, so they didn't need to compete with others.

Relying on the power of the mountain-splitting axe, Chen Guan killed some more secret spirits, but the result was still the same; nothing appeared except for the scale diagram.

“I used my sword to pierce the ice wall before, which caused the glacier to thaw and release these mysterious spirits. But that was just an ordinary sword strike, and I don’t have the talent of a descendant of the dragon. How could it have caused the glacier to thaw? And where did that heavily damaged sword go?” Chen Guan became increasingly suspicious.

Things here are not as simple as they seem.

Although nothing was revealed, Ghost Eye and Rouge still benefited quite a bit, consuming plenty of blood and flesh.

They have all completed their fourth awakening and each received a different natal star.

However, their awakening did not trigger any special phenomena related to their natal stars. Rouge's natal star is the Bloodthirsty Evil Star, and Ghost Eye's natal star is the Ghost Dragon Emperor Star.

Their innate abilities are all quite good, serving to enhance combat power. The Bloodthirsty Evil Star also has a vampiric effect, while the Ghost Dragon Emperor Star is purely a combat power enhancement.

Chen Guan killed no fewer than twenty or thirty Six-Senses Mystic Spirits along the way, but he did not see any trace of the Water-Avoiding Sword.

"The glacier stretches for tens of thousands of miles, and there are no fewer than a thousand mysterious spirits within it. It's extremely difficult to find the location of the Water-Avoiding Sword among them. I'm afraid we'll have to find a way through the Xia family," Chen Guan pondered to himself.

"It's a pity Gao Weiqiang isn't here, otherwise I could have sent him to the Xia family to inquire, and he should have been able to find out where the Water-Avoiding Sword is," Chen Guan thought to himself.
