God of Pets

Chapter 581 Qiongqi
“Brother, if you don’t want to lend it, I can buy it for you, or exchange it for a treasure or a pet. What do you think?” Xia Guagua said immediately, thinking that Chen Guan was in a difficult position.

"What treasures or pets do you have that you can exchange for my axe?" Chen Guan wanted to hear what Xia Guagua was up to, and whether she had come here hoping to do something good.

Xia Guagua said, "I have a Nine-Bell Whip, a divine treasure, and a Qiongqi, a divine pet. However, my grandfather said that if we lose the Qiongqi, he'll break its legs, so it's not suitable for us to exchange. If you agree, I'll trade the Nine-Bell Whip for your Mountain-Splitting Axe. Although the Nine-Bell Whip isn't as destructive as the Mountain-Splitting Axe and can't break through Wuzhiqi's defense, it has its advantages. It has a strong crushing effect on hard objects and also comes with sonic attacks that can disturb the opponent's mind, making it difficult for them to defend against the Nine-Bell Whip's attacks."

As she spoke, Xia Guagua summoned a strange-looking weapon that resembled a mace but had a bell in the middle of each segment, and then threw it directly to Chen Guan.

Chen Guan was slightly taken aback. He secretly circulated his energy to support the Nine-Bell Whip, fearing that Xia Guagua might do something to it.

However, no problems were found. After reviewing the information on this Nine-Bell Whip, it turned out to be a divine artifact.

Secret Treasure: Nine-Bell Whip (Mysterious God).

Level: 60.

Special: Can be grown.

"Aren't you afraid I'll take your Nine-Bell Whip and run away? You haven't forgotten, have you? You can't catch me." Chen Guan said, looking at Xia Guagua with a strange expression.

“The people of the Ziyang Corps are all upright heroes; they wouldn’t do such a thing,” Xia Guagua said matter-of-factly.

Chen Guan blushed; he had actually had that thought just now.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Guan tossed the Nine-Bell Whip back to Xia Guagua. Even if he himself was shameless, the Ziyang Legion still had a reputation. Under the banner of the Ziyang Legion, they couldn't possibly embezzle this thing.

“If you don’t like the Nine-Bell Whip, then I can only trade it to you for the Qiongqi, but our old man…” Xia Guagua hesitated.

"I won't trade the axe." Chen Guan interrupted Xia Guagua.

What Chen Guan needs most right now is the unparalleled armor-piercing ability of the Mountain-Splitting Axe. Among the same level of divine artifacts, there should be very few that can rival the Mountain-Splitting Axe in terms of armor-piercing ability.

Chen Guan's current level is low, and what he lacks is the ability to break through defenses. Even if he were to get a secret divine weapon, it would definitely not be as useful as the Mountain-Splitting Axe.

Seeing Xia Guagua's troubled expression, Chen Guan smiled and said, "Although I can't lend you the axe or sell it to you, I can help you kill Wuzhiqi."

"That's great!" Xia Guagua was overjoyed.

Chen Guan immediately added, "I can help you kill it, and I don't have to charge you any fees. However, I have one condition: you must give me the Qiongqi as collateral, and I will return it to you when I leave."

“No problem, it should be fine as collateral.” Xia Guagua said, and then handed a pet to Chen Guan.

Chen Guan took a look and indeed it was a Qiongqi, a pet of the Mysterious God level.

Qiongqi (Mysterious God): Level 60 spirit pet.

Vitality: 534
Growth rate: 3.0
Innate Talent: Ancient Ferocious Beast (Mysterious God).

Secret Technique: Qiongqi Secret Technique (Secret God).

Secret Technique: Punishment for Sin (Secret God).

Secret treasure: None
Secret Treasure: Ancient Wind God (Secret God).

Destiny Star: An inauspicious star.

Destiny Treasure: Ancient Crown (Secret God) Treasure 2: Ancient Evil Spirit (Secret God).

After observing Qiongqi's attributes, Chen could only conclude that this thing was indeed a top-tier pet. Apart from the Paper Doll, whose attributes surpassed its own, Mingfei was only about the same level.

Looking inside, Qiongqi was revealed to be a fierce tiger with wings on its back and a crown on its head, its eyes extremely menacing.

"Are you really not afraid that I'll take the pet and run away?" Chen Guan looked at Xia Guagua with a strange expression.

"I told you, the Ziyang Legion wouldn't do such a despicable thing. I absolutely believe you," Xia Guagua said seriously.

“Alright, then I’ll go with you and help you kill Wuzhiqi.” Chen Guan pondered for a moment, but finally decided to go.

With this Qiongqi by his side, even if the Xia family has some kind of conspiracy, as long as he manages to escape, he can rightfully take Qiongqi in.

"Let's hurry up, time waits for no one," Xia Guagua said.

"Xiaolong, I'll take you back to Ice City first. If anyone makes things difficult for you, don't fight them. Just go with them. My Ziyang Legion won't let our people be bullied for nothing." Chen Guan didn't plan to let Ma Xiaolong go with him, lest he be caught in the crossfire.

This time, the mission is to kill Wuzhiqi, not to draw a sword, so naturally, we won't need him.

Ma Xiaolong agreed, and Chen Guan first sent him back, and then went to the Xia family's camp with Xia Guagua. They camped next to the area where Wuzhiqi was located and controlled the surrounding area to prevent the previous problem from happening again and to prevent others from taking away the Water-Avoiding Sword.

"Big brother, Sister Hua, I brought the person back." Xia Guagua returned to the camp and said to Xia Huang and Xia Hua as if to take credit.

Xia Huang and Xia Hua's eyes lit up when they saw Chen Guan following behind Xia Guagua.

"Guagua, I'm really impressed with you this time! You actually managed to bring him back!" Xia Hua exclaimed happily.

"What? I didn't arrest him. I asked this brother to bring the axe to help us kill Wuzhiqi," Xia Guagua said.

Xia Hua and Xia Huang were both dumbfounded. They brought Chen Guan back to help them kill Wuzhiqi, but was this guy planning to steal the Bishui Sword and run away again?

"What did you offer him to ask for his help?" Xia Hua had a bad feeling.

"This guy is really nice. He didn't charge me anything, he just asked me to use Qiongqi as collateral. He'll return it to me after he kills Wuzhiqi," Xia Guagua said smugly, feeling that she had done a great job.

Xia Hua and Xia Huang's expressions changed. Qiongqi was a rare top-tier secret divine pet in the Xia family. Even they didn't have such a powerful pet. Only Xia Guagua was the old man's favorite, so he was given Qiongqi as an exception.

"You little brat, what did the old man say when he gave you Qiongqi?" Xia Hua was trembling with anger.

“The old man said I couldn’t lose Qiongqi, and I listened to him. This is just a pledge. After I kill Wuzhiqi, this brother will be returned to me,” Xia Guagua said.

Xia Hua and Xia Huang were both speechless. Could such a mysterious divine pet be returned once it fell into someone else's hands?
"Didn't you want to kill Wuzhiqi? I can use my axe to help you." Chen Guan naturally knew what these two were thinking, but he didn't care.

He only agreed to help because he didn't want to tarnish the reputation of the Ziyang Legion in front of someone like Xia Guagua.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you." Xia Huang nodded through gritted teeth, but in his heart he was already planning that he had to set up a battle formation first. If this person tried to steal the Water-Avoiding Sword and run away again like last time, he would definitely not let him succeed.

Such a mysterious and divine pet as Qiongqi must never fall into the hands of outsiders.

Chen Guan merely watched coldly. If the Xia family really made a move against him, that would be perfect, as he could then legitimately take Qiongqi.
