God of Pets-Chapter 440: Drawing the Sword

Chen Guan turned his head and saw that a member of the special operations team had indeed excavated a Sword Spirit from the dune.

The Sword Spirit looked roughly the same as the ones Chen Guan had excavated, with similar designs, all embedded in a piece of black rock.

Except for the size, everything else was the same as the Sword Spirits Chen Guan had found.

The rock in which this Sword Spirit was embedded was half the height of a person. Judging by the length of the hilt, the overall length of the Sword Spirit was estimated to be about four to five feet.

Wang Lian was very excited and quickly instructed people to continue digging nearby.

But after digging for half a day, they couldn’t find another Sword Spirit.

Chen Guan chuckled inwardly, "It’d be a miracle if you found one. I don’t know how this Sword Spirit ended up here alone; I’ve already dug out most of them."

Wang Lian secretly communicated with the Master of Ten Thousand Weapons: "Why is there only one Sword Spirit here?"

"It shouldn’t be. When I saw the Sword Spirits falling before, there were twenty or thirty Sword Auras. Keep looking; there should be more," said the Master of Ten Thousand Weapons.

"We’ve almost overturned the entire area, and there’s only this one. Could it have fallen somewhere else? Can you help sense it again?"

"I already helped you sense once before, and I just used Magical Artifacts in battle, which drained me greatly. I can’t help you now." The Master of Ten Thousand Weapons fell silent.

She was somewhat dissatisfied with Wang Lian. She chose Wang Lian to leverage Wang Lian’s talent and special Secret Technique to solve her own issues.

Now, not only was her problem not fully resolved, but she also had to pay for Wang Lian. If this continued, her barely recovered situation might worsen again.

Wang Lian, seeing the Master of Ten Thousand Weapons silent, was also helpless.

In order to acquire the Master of Ten Thousand Weapons, her contract with the Master of Ten Thousand Weapons was different from ordinary Spirit Pet contracts; she had no right to force the Master of Ten Thousand Weapons to do anything.

"We’ve been digging for half a day. Except for this Sword Spirit, we haven’t seen even a hair. Could it really be just this one Sword Spirit here?" someone said, panting.

"The other Sword Spirits might be in different places. Let’s take this Sword Spirit first and then look for the others," Wang Lian had to say.

Dina nodded and looked at Chen Guan.

Wang Lian also looked at Chen Guan, afraid that Chen Guan might try to snatch it.

Now, since the Master of Ten Thousand Weapons had not recovered, she wasn’t confident in her ability to stop Chen Guan.

"You found the item; why are you looking at me?" Chen Guan said calmly.

He didn’t intend to snatch the Sword Spirit but wanted to see if Wang Lian and her team could get the Sword Spirit Pet if they drew it out.

Wang Lian was delighted to hear this but said, "Brother Dong, when we find more Sword Spirits later, you can try your luck too. Maybe you’ll be able to get a Sword Spirit Pet."

Dina called the Beheader in the team, asking him to pull out the Sword Spirit.

The Beheader had a luck talent, which increased the chance of petification of the Sword Spirit.

The Third Awakening Beheader grabbed the hilt with both hands and used all his strength, but the Sword Spirit did not budge, still firmly embedded in the rock.

"Something’s not right... why can’t this Sword Spirit be pulled out..." The Beheader paused, looking at Dina and Wang Lian.

They had not encountered such a situation before. Dina thought for a moment and said, "I’ve tried extracting weapons like Sword Spirits and Blade Spirits before, and I’ve never seen this happen. Usually, they can be pulled out easily."

With that, Dina asked the Beheader to step aside, tried herself, and found the same result: the sword was firmly embedded in the rock without a single tremble.

Everyone queued up, trying one by one, and the result was the same; no one could pull out the sword.

Wang Lian tried, but she couldn’t pull it out either.

Chen Guan had already anticipated they wouldn’t be able to pull it out. When he had tried before, even with his strength, he couldn’t move it; he had to use the Giant Spirit Power to pull the Sword Spirit out.

The strength of a typical Third Awakening Cultivator certainly wouldn’t suffice to pull it out.

Wang Lian didn’t speak. Chen Guan figured she must be communicating with the Secret Spirit, asking how to extract the Sword Spirit.

"Brother Dong, you give it a try too," Dina suggested to Chen Guan, who was standing nearby.

"Forget it, I’d better not. You all can’t pull it out, so I probably can’t either," Chen Guan shook his head and declined. He had to go all out using the Giant Spirit Power to barely pull it out.

If he used the Giant Spirit Power with all his might now, his body would change, making him concerned she might notice something.

"I know how we can pull the Sword Spirit out," Wang Lian suddenly said.

"Is there some trick to it?" Dina asked.

"Generally, there’s no trick to Sword Spirits, but this one is different. It’s born from Celestial Meteorite Iron, which before nurturing it, got covered with the blood of some Secret Spirit, giving the Sword Spirit special Spiritual Sense due to that blood. You need compatibility with its Spiritual Sense to extract it from the Celestial Meteorite Iron," Wang Lian explained.

"How do we achieve compatibility? We all tried, but nobody could pull it out. Does that mean none of us are compatible with its Spiritual Sense?" Dina pondered aloud.

"It just means our compatibility isn’t high enough, but it’s not hopeless. There’s a simple yet foolish way to increase our compatibility: drip blood onto the sword’s blade, which might increase compatibility, allowing us to pull it out," Wang Lian said.

"Isn’t that the blood recognition method?" Dina chuckled.

"More or less. People think it’s blood recognition, but it’s actually about increasing compatibility," Wang Lian paused, adding, "Not everyone’s blood can increase compatibility; it needs to have similar attributes to the Secret Spirit’s blood that tainted the Meteorite Iron."

"However, raising compatibility alone isn’t enough. To actually pull it out, the individual’s Sword Dao comprehension needs to reach a level where it resonates with the Sword Spirit, aligning with its will."

"What attributes does the Secret Spirit’s blood have?" someone asked.

"I don’t know, so we’ll have to try again. Who wants to go first?" Wang Lian glanced around.

Since they had an agreement beforehand that it didn’t matter who pulled it out, Wang Lian wasn’t eager to go first.

A team member stepped forward, pricked his finger, and dripped blood onto the Sword Spirit’s blade, then attempted to pull it out.

The blood slid down the blade without sticking, and naturally, he couldn’t pull the Sword Spirit out.

Other team members tried one by one, dripping blood and attempting to pull the sword, but the result was the same; no one could extract the Sword Spirit.

Even after Dina tried, it was ineffective.

Wang Lian went last, feeling somewhat smug inside.

Because she knew she could surely pull this Sword Spirit out.
