God of Pets-Chapter 436: A Special Bond

Chen Guan looked at Ming Fei, who hurriedly explained: "I haven’t finished yet, don’t be so anxious."

"Picking the Bright Sun Flower requires special methods—the average person who touches it will see it turn to ash instantly, just like before, and they won’t be able to pick it."

"How do you pick it?" Chen Guan asked.

"It’s not about how to pick it, but who should pick it." Ming Fei looked at the Bright Sun Flower and said, "The very nature of the Bright Sun Flower is unique, which is why it’s one of the most difficult main ingredients to obtain in the Nine Revolutions Soul Reviving Pill."

"Get to the point." Chen Guan wasn’t in the mood for her emotional musings.

"Only unwed women can pick the Bright Sun Flower. Anyone else touching it would damage it, and they wouldn’t be able to pick it," Ming Fei said.

"Can’t an unwed female Secret Spirit pick it?" Chen Guan asked.

"Yes, but I can’t," Ming Fei replied.

Chen Guan understood what Ming Fei meant, but at this moment, where could he find an unwed woman or female Secret Spirit?

"Wang Lian probably can’t, but Dina might be able to. Besides them, there’s no one else to turn to," Chen Guan thought privately.

There were only a few hours left until sunrise.

He was far from the oasis where Wang Lian and the others were. Even if he hurried back to summon them, there likely wouldn’t be enough time.

"What should I do?" Chen Guan didn’t want to miss such a profitable opportunity, but going back and forth, even if he traveled as the Pure Yang Sword Immortal, would take at least a day, and a few hours wouldn’t even cover half a trip.

Thinking it over, there didn’t seem to be a viable solution.

Chen Guan could only watch helplessly as these Bright Sun Flowers disappeared after sunrise.

"Some things can’t be forced. Fate is like that; what belongs to someone will belong to them, and not the slightest can be decided by human will," Chen Guan said, putting Ming Fei away and dismissing his desire to rest. He also summoned Ghost Eye back to rest, planning to continue on foot.

Out of sight, out of mind, he preferred not to see these Bright Sun Flowers, which he couldn’t pick, preventing frustration.

Chen Guan left the dune, traveling with Fu Tianji.

After a while, he suddenly heard roars from Secret Spirits behind them, followed by intense fighting sounds.

"That direction, isn’t it where the Bright Sun Flower is? Could some Secret Spirits be fighting over it?" Chen Guan’s heart stirred, and he quickly led Fu back.

If a Secret Spirit could pick the Bright Sun Flowers, he could be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, seizing the Bright Sun Flowers from the Secret Spirits.

When Chen Guan returned near the dune where the Bright Sun Flower was, he saw from afar a colossal Secret Spirit battling a group of other spirits.

The colossal Secret Spirit resembled the scorpion man Chen Guan had killed, with a human body and scorpion limbs, but this one’s size was about half of the previous one’s.

Moreover, the human part had obvious female characteristics, unlike the previous male-featured scorpion man.

The Secret Spirits battling her were diverse, with dozens besieging the scorpion woman.

"There must be some special fate here?" Chen Guan saw that the Secret Spirits were being directed by people, as pets, and those leading them were Wang Lian and Dina’s group.

Under Dina’s command, everyone was using pets to besiege the scorpion woman.

The scorpion woman’s combat prowess was clearly inferior to the previous scorpion man’s, but against dozens of Secret Spirits attacking, she remained fiercely aggressive, forcing the pets into guerrilla, hit-and-run tactics to surround her.

"Wang Lian and the others obviously recognized the Bright Sun Flower; otherwise, they wouldn’t fight so hard against the scorpion woman." Chen Guan’s mind raced, contemplating how to acquire the Bright Sun Flowers.

"Should I help now and have them pick the flowers for me, or wait for them to harvest the flowers and then swoop in?" Chen Guan pondered for a moment, realizing that if he went out now, their battling couldn’t count as helping—they might think he was stealing their Secret Spirits and Bright Sun Flowers instead.

After thinking for a while, Chen Guan decided to wait. Any action now would not be well-timed.

Wang Lian and Dina’s group initially believed they could capture the colossal female scorpion, but unexpectedly, a giant shadow of a demon scorpion emerged from her, dramatically boosting her strength.

The scorpion’s tail split into nine as it danced, instantly piercing the bodies of nine Level 30 pets.

Even mighty Shield Armor Elephants with incredibly high defense crumbled like paper under the scorpion’s tail, their shield-like bodies pierced outright.

With nine frontline pets down, their Primordial Energy was severely wounded, causing chaos in the pet battle array.

The scorpion woman entered a slaughter mode, using her vastly superior physicality over equal-level Secret Spirits and her unmatched power, causing chaos among the pet battle array.

"We can’t hold on... Retreat..." Dina was heartbroken.

The slain pets were frontline tank pets, the most critical combat pets to their team, acquired at great expense.

Losing nine in an instant was an extreme blow. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Even with Wang Lian’s payment, it was uncertain they could buy such pets again. Shield Armor Elephants, unparalleled pets, are rare and highly sought after by teams and individuals for their exceptional tanking abilities, not just because of their cost.

If they didn’t find a Sword Spirit, this loss was massive.

Though reluctant, Dina decided to cut her losses.

"I’ll cut it down," Wang Lian said gradually, pointing with a hand as tiny steel particles flew from her fingertips, enveloping her body in a suit of mirror-like full armor, transforming her into a steel war goddess.

Seeing the armor, Chen Guan immediately recognized it. He had once seen the back of the Secret God’s son, wearing the same mirror-like armor edged with black lines—there was no mistake.

"That fussy female Secret God was truly raised by Wang Lian, and she can even fight now—a surprise indeed." Chen Guan was eager to see how this female Secret God’s capabilities compared to Ming Fei’s.

After Wang Lian merged with the female Secret God, she stood on the dune, finger-signing a technique, lightly speaking, "Rise!"

In that instant, all weapons, whether Secret Treasures or forged weapons, whether knives, swords, spears, or axes, or any other weapons.

All weapons left their owners’ hands, converging towards Wang Lian.

Dozens of weapons, including one flying saber from Wang Lian herself, floated around her. As she pointed at the scorpion woman, the weapons cut through the air, weaving and slashing at the scorpion woman’s body.

The scorpion woman, despite having two fists and a tail, couldn’t fend off the onslaught of numerous weapons, which quickly carved wounds all over her, with blood splattering.

Some flying sabers and blades even burrowed into her body, continuously wreaking havoc inside.

"That fussy female Secret God has some skill, surprisingly controlling others’ weapons!" Chen Guan noted that from such a distance from the battlefield, Old Fu’s Profound Iron Mace and Purple Gold Gourd Hammer beside him were subtly trembling, slightly affected.
