God of Pets

"Petification... The Emperor Vein Ghost-Eyed Python has been petified..." Men Team and An Yiqi were both surprised and delighted.

World-Defying Secret Spirits are incredibly rare, and the chance of petification is not high, so the probability of obtaining an Unparalleled Pet is really pitifully low.

For ordinary pets, killing hundreds can produce one or two pets. According to this probability, killing hundreds of Unparalleled Pets would only produce one Unparalleled Pet. Now, they've only killed two World-Defying Secret Spirits and got an Unparalleled Pet, which is too high a rate.

Chen Guan was first delighted, thinking it was his good luck. He looked down and saw Zhao Cai, the little panda, sticking its head out from his pocket, with a strange halo flashing in its eyes. He immediately knew that it wasn't his luck but Zhao Cai activating its talent "Medium".

"Zhao Cai, oh Zhao Cai, it's worth taking you everywhere, feeding you well with food and drink, taking better care of you than your cheap old dad, even gave you such a good name, you are truly a good child who knows how to return favors." Chen Guan found Zhao Cai more pleasing to the eye than ever.

The corpse of the Emperor Vein Ghost-Eyed Python completely vanished, and its information appeared in Chen Guan's pet details.

Zhao Cai relaxed, collapsing back into the pocket, belly-up, gasping heavily, its little tummy rising and falling like it was exhausted.

Chen Guan fed Zhao Cai some food, but Zhao Cai was evidently too tired, with no desire to eat, just panting constantly.

"It's still too small; using the Medium skill won't exhaust it to death, right?" Chen Guan was somewhat worried, but after observing for a while, he found that Zhao Cai was gradually getting better, and its panting was not as severe, which reassured him, letting it continue to rest.

Emperor Vein Ghost-Eyed Python (Unparalleled): Level 10 Spirit Pet.

Primordial Energy: 18.91.

Growth Rate: 1.99.

Lifebound Talent: Dragon Emperor Bloodline (Unparalleled).

Secret Technique: "Abnormal Evolution Technique" (Unparalleled)

Secret Skill: Eye of the Ghost God (Unparalleled).

Secret Treasure: None.

Chen Guan found the attributes of the Emperor Vein Ghost-Eyed Python quite good, with a growth rate of 1.99 pretty close to 2.0, but naturally inferior to Yan Zhi and Ming Fei.

However, its strength is something neither Yan Zhi nor Ming Fei can compare to.

Its talent, secret technique, and secret skill are all top-level; the Dragon Emperor Bloodline allows the Ghost-Eyed Python's body to evolve continuously, gaining stronger physique and power.

The Abnormal Evolution Technique relies on its own transformation for upgrades, with each shedding allowing for a level increase.

The method of absorbing Primordial Energy through the Abnormal Evolution Technique is varied, as it can absorb free elemental energy from the heavens and earth, or increase energy by devouring various Secret Spirits, which makes it easy to raise and upgrade quickly, as long as there are Secret Spirits to consume.

Unlike Yan Zhi, which is fussy and only drinks the essential blood of Secret Spirits, ignoring all other things.

The Eye of the Ghost God can glimpse any illusion; this is how the Secret Skill's information describes it. Its usefulness will be revealed in actual combat. From its literal meaning, it should be an auxiliary-type eye skill.

Although the various abilities of the Ghost-Eyed Python don't seem particularly special, with its body, it stands out as a top-notch pet, an advantage that small pets don't have.

"Would using the Emperor Vein Ghost-Eyed Python as a mount be too ostentatious?" Chen Guan thought it would look too extravagant, though he was eager to try.

Men Team and An Yiqi didn't suffer any serious injuries, just had some scratches on the chest and belly.

"Let's discuss how we should distribute these spoils?" After treating their wounds, Chen Guan took stock of their gains this time.

There were two python sheddings and a piece of an unknown giant Snake-entwined Wood. Earlier, when Chen Guan was in the lair, he didn't find any similar plants. Presumably, the piece of Snake-entwined Wood was brought back by the Ghost-Eyed Python from outside, and it was unknown where it came from.

"Captain, however you say to divide, we'll follow. We all listen to you," An Yiqi said.

Men Team also nodded, indicating his agreement with Chen Guan.

"I'll take the pet; as for the two python sheddings and the Snake-entwined Wood, which can be considered three items, you each pick one, and the remaining one, we'll take back to sell and split the profits. How about that?" Chen Guan suggested after thinking about it.

"Captain, without you, we couldn't have handled the Ghost Emperor, let alone the Ghost-Eyed Python. You previously gave us each an Unparalleled Secret Treasure, which was more than generous. Now you're dividing things again, we really can't take them feeling good about it," An Yiqi responded.

"Captain Chen, you are the captain, and you should get the lion's share of the points if we complete tasks, and dividing things this way feels unsettling for us," Men Team echoed.

"Then how would you suggest we divide them?" Chen Guan asked with a smile.

"How about I and Xiao Qi each take half a python shedding, that's already plenty enough, and the rest is yours," Men Team proposed directly.

"Yes, yes, getting half a python shedding is already really satisfying," An Yiqi quickly agreed.

"Alright, that settles it." Chen Guan didn't say more. The two had followed him through life and death, and they almost lost their lives just now. He originally intended to give them more because it was risky work.

But this arrangement is good, as they know whom to follow, which allows for long-term cooperation.

Chen Guan summoned the Ghost-Eyed Python pet and tied the python sheddings and the Snake-entwined Wood to its back, letting it carry them out of the Ghost Eye Cave.

It was fortunate to have such a pet; otherwise, transporting the items out would be quite troublesome.

When the guards saw Chen Guan's group coming out with the Ghost-Eyed Python, carrying bulky python sheddings and a large, blackened length of wood, their eyes widened in shock.

"You... you killed the Emperor Vein Ghost-Eyed Python... and got a pet..." The guards could hardly believe it.

It wasn't easy for three First Awakening Cultivators, let alone them, as Second Awakening Cultivators, to kill such a formidable Emperor Vein Ghost-Eyed Python in the Ghost Eye Cave.

Of course, the main reason is that the Celestial Court Army forbade them from killing, or else the Emperor Vein Ghost-Eyed Python wouldn't have survived till now. This was targeted protection to prevent high-level cultivators from slaughtering large numbers of low-level Secret Spirits, which they don't need, as it would be wasteful and detrimental to the development of low-level cultivators.

In fact, the authorities never expected anyone to kill the Emperor Vein Ghost-Eyed Python; they just wanted to raise it for its shedding, hence the task was assigned to the Reserve Team. No one imagined that a First Awakening Cultivator could actually kill the Emperor Vein Ghost-Eyed Python.

"Two pairs of glasses are broken, but we don't have that much cash with us. Can we owe you and pay after the task is complete?" Chen Guan asked the guard.

"You can use your points to offset it." The guard replied.

"Deal." Chen Guan's group was happy to trade points, and they used the remaining points that hadn't been exchanged for elixirs, along with some extra cash, to make up for the compensation.

"This is truly a hugely profitable business," Chen Guan thought. However, the three pairs of glasses had indeed helped them greatly, so it wasn't a loss.

After leaving the Ghost Eye Cave, the trio headed straight for Phoenix Mountain. They didn't want to return to complete any task; they were ready to play the role of delinquents.

Though they wanted to be honest individuals, reality pushed them to act otherwise.
