God of Pets-Chapter 575: Another Encounter

It's not yet known how many Scale Maps are needed to complete the Mountain and River Map.

The Xia Family dispatched many people to Jixuan Dayuan Heaven, but because the teleportation location wasn't here, those who were close could arrive in a short time, while those who were farther away, it's uncertain when they could arrive.

Xia Huang and his team led the Xia Family members in hunting the Secret Spirits in the Ice River, obtaining quite a few Mountain and River Maps.

However, some Secret Spirits couldn't be defeated even when they united with many Xia Family members, like the Headless Giant, a nine-headed monstrous serpent, and a white-headed, green-bodied monkey, among others, they couldn't defeat them and had to retreat.

According to family messages, that Headless Giant is called Fangfeng Giant, the nine-headed monstrous serpent is called Xiangliu, and the white-headed, green-bodied monkey is called Wu Zhiqi, all are Secret God Level Secret Spirits, and their Levels are all 60, making them very hard to defeat.

The Xia Family judged that the Water-Resistant Sword should be on Xiangliu or Wu Zhiqi.

But because they lack the ability to kill them, they can only wait for the Xia Family's corps to gather, and by then, use the corps' strength to besiege these Secret God-level terrifying beings.

When Chen Guan rushed back to Ice City, the Xia Family had gathered tens of thousands of Grotto Heaven Cultivators, and even more Xia Family Grotto Heaven Cultivators were gathering here from all directions.

The originally empty and cold Ice City has now become exceptionally bustling.

However, because most of them are the Xia Family's subordinates, the average cultivator found life here not as good as before.

The cultivators of the Xia Family's corps didn't do anything to them, but once such a situation of corps stationing appeared, it inevitably squeezes the interests of the few, which is unavoidable.

Chen Guan had anticipated this situation, so he's not surprised.

The Xia Family is definitely determined to get the Three Treasures of Xia, so sending the corps over is also to be expected.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing for Chen Guan, but it does make things somewhat inconvenient.

He himself is unaffected, as he has disguised himself and others can't recognize him, so taking the treasure the Xia Family is determined to get doesn't matter to him.

But if Ma Xiaolong were to follow him to take the Mountain-Opening Axe and be discovered by the Xia Family, Ma Xiaolong would face considerable trouble in the future.

"Hmm, need to think of a way to settle Ma Xiaolong." Chen Guan pondered to himself; he definitely needs to take the item, but he can't let Ma Xiaolong work for nothing and still get into trouble.

"Hey, Brother Master." Ma Xiaolong was standing at the city gate waiting for business, and when he saw Chen Guan, he immediately came up to him.

"How's business?" Chen Guan asked with a smile.

"It's okay, because the Ice Sculpture Grand Canyon melted, many people came to Ice City, most are from the Xia Family, some from the Chu Family, and a few from other families, but not many." Ma Xiaolong briefly explained the situation here.

"Brother Master, they're all going to the Ice River to hunt Secret Spirits, there must be good things. If only I had your power, I could also get a share."

Chen Guan smiled and said, "It's simple if you want a share, I can take you, and we can join forces to get some benefits." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"I was just saying, Brother, don't mock me. I don't have that kind of ability. Those who can go to the Ice River and hunt Secret Spirits are at least Sixth Awakening Cultivators, and they all have teams. With my Level and being alone, I'd just be a burden." Ma Xiaolong was well aware of his limitations.

"Not necessarily, I remember your Talent is Dragon's Heir, and you can resonate with the Secret Spirits in the ice cliff. It might be very useful. You haven't told anyone about this, right?" Chen Guan said.

"Many people in Ice City knew before, but I haven't told the newcomers." Ma Xiaolong replied.

"That's potentially troublesome. I estimate the Xia Family or the Chu Family people will soon come to find you." Chen Guan pondered and said, "Following them isn't a bad choice, but I also want to get a share in the Ice River. If you are willing, we can cooperate."

"Brother, if you can use me, just say how we should do it, I'll follow your lead." Ma Xiaolong immediately said earnestly, patting his chest.

Chen Guan nodded, "Alright, let's head over to the Ice River and see the situation first."

The two left Ice City and headed for the Ice River, there were noticeably more people on the Ice River now after Chen Guan left.

Along the way, the sounds of Secret Spirits roaring could be heard from afar, likely indicating that someone deep within the Ice River was battling with Secret Spirits.

The Ice River stretches for thirty thousand miles with no end, its depths filled with innumerable terrifying Secret Spirits, even if tens of thousands of corps came to slay them, it's uncertain how long it would take to finish them all.

Chen Guan wasn't inclined to kill Secret Spirits one by one; his only target was the Mountain-Opening Axe.

If he could learn the whereabouts of the Water-Resistant Sword, that would be ideal, but if not, just the Mountain-Opening Axe would suffice.

The two arrived at the Headless Giant's area, finding a troop stationed there, led by none other than Xia Huang, Xia Hua, and Xia Guagua.

"They've come here again, it seems the Mountain-Opening Axe is still here and hasn't been taken by them." Chen Guan was slightly relieved in his heart.

He was worried that after all the preparation, the money spent, and the skills practiced, the Mountain-Opening Axe would have already been taken.

Chen Guan and his companion saw the Xia Family members, and the Xia Family saw them too.

Someone went over to Xia Huang's group after spotting them, glancing over at Chen Guan and Ma Xiaolong as if saying something.

"Not good, that guy is Liu Zhenshan, the City Lord of Ice City, he knows about my situation, we should leave quickly." Ma Xiaolong's expression changed slightly, guessing what was happening.

"It's too late to leave now." Chen Guan shook his head.

Indeed, Xia Huang and his group, led by Liu Zhenshan, began heading towards them.

"Xiaolong, come over here, there's something good I want to discuss with you." Liu Zhenshan called out from a distance.

"City Lord, just tell me what it is." Ma Xiaolong didn't go over, thinking he could guess why Liu Zhenshan was calling him.

"I told you to come over, don't have so much nonsense." Liu Zhenshan was displeased. Ma Xiaolong had embarrassed him in front of the Xia Family members.

"Brother Ma, I heard your Talent is Dragon's Heir, able to resonate with the Secret Spirits sealed in the ice cliff?" Xia Huang assessed Ma Xiaolong and asked.

"I was just boasting before, nothing like that." Ma Xiaolong replied.

Xia Hua spoke, "Brother Ma, you're overthinking. Our Xia Family has always been fair. If you can help us, we will pay you a satisfactory reward."

If it were before, Xia Hua's words might have tempted Ma Xiaolong, but now he was committed to standing by Chen Guan's side.

"Miss Xia Hua, I'm sorry, but I really don't have the ability to help you guys, I was just bragging before to gain some respect." Ma Xiaolong said.

"Ma Xiaolong, this is a rare chance for you to turn your life around. If you are chosen by the Xia Family, your future achievements will be limitless, don't be ungrateful." Liu Zhenshan snorted coldly.

"With him following me, his future is equally bright, no need for you to worry." Chen Guan interjected, cutting off what Ma Xiaolong was about to say, and spoke calmly.
