God of Pets-Chapter 433: Searching for the Sword Spirit

"This Dina, isn’t she Xiu Yingmei’s sister?" Chen Guan was a bit puzzled. The Golden Auspicious Beast and that set of Golden Armor looked exactly like Xiu Yingmei’s. Even if she wasn’t Xiu Yingmei’s sister, she should be related to the Xiu Family somehow. How did she end up with Wang Lian?

Moreover, what exactly were they planning to do by coming to such an uninhabitable place?

Chen Guan knew Wang Lian; she was someone who wouldn’t get up early without benefits. She must have a purpose for being here.

After listening for a while and not hearing any more useful information, Chen Guan planned to stay hidden there to find out what their true intentions for coming to this place were.

Since it was already evening, they didn’t leave the oasis and returned to the inside of the oasis instead.

Chen Guan lurked outside until it was dark, and only then did he cautiously sneak into the oasis, finding their camp.

Ordinary hawks would have their vision affected at night, and the black hawk was no different.

It stood on Wang Lian’s shoulder on guard, yet it failed to notice the hidden Chen Guan.

Chen Guan dared not get too close, as pets were patrolling all around them.

Chen Guan watched for a while and saw about a dozen people, but most of them seemed to be bodyguards or followers; the real leaders here appeared to be Wang Lian and Dina.

These followers seemed quite strong, estimated all to be cultivators of the Third Awakening.

However, it was evident that aside from Uncle Eagle, who was with Wang Lian, the rest of the cultivators were Dina’s people.

"Wang Lian, are you sure there’s really a sword spirit’s nest in this Golden Sand Desert?" After eating, Dina sat by the campfire and asked Wang Lian.

"There’s no mistake. You know her temperament; she wouldn’t be bothered to lie. The sword spirit’s nest must be nearby," Wang Lian said with certainty.

"No exact location?" Dina felt that this place was too dangerous. If they couldn’t find the sword spirit’s nest soon, she was inclined to withdraw, not wanting her team to take such a huge risk.

Today she was lucky to encounter a terrifying super giant Secret Spirit and still manage to come back alive.

If their luck ran out someday, her entire team could be wiped out.

"The desert’s terrain and range are constantly changing. When she saw the sword spirit’s nest, it was already many years ago..." Wang Lian explained to Dina.

Listening, Chen Guan suddenly realized, "I finally know why Wang Lian came here. There’s a sword spirit’s nest here."

Sword spirits are a type of Secret Spirit. Unlike beast-type and plant-type Secret Spirits, sword spirits belong to the artifact-type Secret Spirits.

Similar types include sword spirits, gun spirits, and others, which are also a large category within Secret Spirits.

However, unlike beast-type Secret Spirits, artifact-type Secret Spirits are usually born in certain mining areas.

Sword spirits are the same; they are born depending on minerals, absorbing the minerals as energy to grow. Different minerals give birth to sword spirits with different attributes and types.

But artifact-type Secret Spirits have a very strange trait. No matter how high the level of the artifact-type Secret Spirit, if it leaves the minerals for too long, it will die, becoming a soul-less artifact-type Secret Treasure.

Therefore, many human cultivators are very eager to find artifact-type Secret Spirits.

As long as they pull them out from the minerals, they can obtain a natural Secret Treasure Weapon.

If lucky, and if the artifact-type Secret Spirit undergoes Petification, one can get an artifact-type Secret Spirit Pet.

But generally, artifact-type Secret Spirits are hidden in underground mineral veins, and can’t be found easily. To find them, one must first find the mineral veins in the Secret Realm.

"Two more days; if we still can’t find it, we should retreat. The Golden Sand Desert is too perilous." Dina pondered. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Think about it, Captain Dina. These sword spirits are unusual. According to her, there might be a Secret God born inside. If we find it, we could at least get a Secret God Quality sword. If lucky, we might directly get a Secret Divine Sword Spirit as a pet..." Wang Lian continued to persuade.

Listening for a while, Chen Guan roughly understood the situation.

Wang Lian heard from someone about the presence of sword spirits here. But with just her and Uncle Eagle, they didn’t have the ability to search the entire Golden Sand Desert for these sword spirits.

So she collaborated with Dina to have Dina’s team ensure their safety and help find the location of the sword spirits in the desert.

Dina’s team seemed to have the style of the Celestial Court Army, yet they weren’t wearing the army’s uniform, so their origins were unclear and why Wang Lian chose to collaborate with her.

Chen Guan guessed that Dina’s connection with the Celestial Court Army must not be ordinary, possibly related to the Xiu Family.

As for the person Wang Lian mentioned, Chen Guan guessed it was the Secret God she obtained from the Dushan Sect, that pretentious female Secret Spirit.

"If there really are sword spirits here, this would truly be a great find." Chen Guan felt a hint of greed; naturally, he wouldn’t pass up such a great opportunity.

Sword spirits are full of treasures; it’s best to get a pet. If not, it’s still a very high-quality Sword Treasure.

Moreover, artifact-type Secret Spirits have a high chance of Pet Transformation. By obtaining a few, there’s a chance to get a pet.

Especially since Wang Lian said there might be Secret God Level sword spirits; if found, that would be even better.

With that thought, Chen Guan decided to search first.

He had the Night Vision Secret Skill, unaffected by day or night, so he might find those sword spirits before Wang Lian and her team.

"Since they don’t know the exact location anyway, it’s all about luck." After listening a bit more without gleaning useful information, Chen Guan didn’t linger but left the oasis to start his search for the sword spirits.

Tracking Wang Lian and her team was unrealistic; they had a pet like the black hawk, making daytime tracking too easy to spot.

Though Chen Guan was not afraid of being discovered and could deal with them if necessary, it wasn’t necessary.

In the night, there wasn’t much to fear. Chen Guan summoned the Ghost Eye, riding it to search the desert.

Staying high could see farther, and there was a chance of finding something.

Typically, sword spirits and the like would be in underground mineral deposits. To find them, one would generally need to dig to reach underground.

But from what Wang Lian hinted, these sword spirits should not be buried underground but on the surface.

"After so many years, even if they were originally on the surface, they should have been buried by sand by now, right?" Chen Guan searched for several hours but found nothing.

As far as the eye could see, there was only sand.

Given the situation, the chances were extremely low that the sword spirits weren’t buried in sand.

"No... searching like this is impossible to find them... I need to think of a way..." Chen Guan pondered how he could possibly find those sword spirits.

After thinking it over, no particularly good ideas came to mind.

The Warring State’s nose is quite sensitive, but since it hasn’t encountered sword spirits before, it hasn’t caught their scent, making it impossible to find them.
