God of Pets-Chapter 489: Headshot

After several attempts, many pets have dug up various Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, among which the most common is Polygonum multiflorum.

The Polygonum multiflorum here are truly rare top-grade items in the world, each one being at least the size of a millstone, with larger ones nearly as big as a small car.

The other harvested Heavenly and Earthly Treasures are also unusually large and of such superb quality that it makes one question reality.

Even those who are knowledgeable and experienced find it rare to see Heavenly and Earthly Treasures of such quality.

After many attempts, it seems there is currently no issue with digging up these Heavenly and Earthly Treasures; at least for now, it is safe.

However, how to consume these Heavenly and Earthly Treasures is a problem, as the fate of the watchdog is still fresh in memory.

So after digging up a few Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, no one continued to dig. Some summoned unimportant pets to try consuming these Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to see if they would encounter the same fate as the previous watchdog.

Someone summoned a black bear pet and had it gnaw on Polygonum multiflorum.

After gnawing for a while, white smoke suddenly rose from the black bear, as Primordial Energy overflowed from its body.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the black bear, recalling that the watchdog had suddenly died in this situation.

"It’s... leveled up... from Level 7 to Level 8..." The black bear’s owner was overjoyed.

The crowd was equally overjoyed upon hearing this. Someone said, "As expected, the watchdog’s qualifications were too poor and couldn’t handle the enhancement."

Despite this, they still didn’t dare to eat them themselves and instead let their pets try all kinds of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures first.

Many pets ate for a while without any heads exploding, with quite a few pets even achieving level ups.

The summoned pets for trial had low levels, meant as cannon fodder, so it wasn’t surprising that they leveled up after consuming such potent supplements.

Pounding! Pounding!

Just as everyone was rejoicing, they saw the pets consuming Heavenly and Earthly Treasures had their heads burst like a chain reaction, one after the other.

In just a moment, the ground was littered with headless pet corpses.

Everyone was terrified, and the atmosphere became extremely oppressive with no one speaking. The Heavenly and Earthly Treasures on the ground seemed to have turned into time bombs that no one dared to touch. Some even instinctively backed away, wishing to distance themselves from the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that they had previously yearned for, now fearing them like serpents and beasts.

Chu Yutian’s face was ghostly pale. He had finally obtained the Heaven and Earthly Treasures he had dreamed of, and there seemed to be an endless supply here.

But guarding these Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, he dared not take a single bite, this feeling of heaven and hell in succession made him extremely uncomfortable.

"Are you okay?" Chen Guan came to Chu Yutian’s side and asked.

"I’m fine." Chu Yutian forced a smile, but it looked worse than crying.

While his body was indeed fine, the last of his hopes was dashed, and he feared that his "Kunpeng Technique" would never have a chance to be mastered, and he would have to switch to a different Secret Technique in the future.

But even if he switched to an Unparalleled Secret Technique, it wouldn’t compare to the power of the "Kunpeng Technique," and he might never have the chance to stand at the pinnacle in his life.

Others gathered in twos and threes, discussing what to do.

The situation was quite awkward, with so many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures at hand, but no one dared to move them; it was unexpected. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Do you think it’s possible that these Heavenly and Earthly Treasures can’t be eaten by pets?" someone suddenly said.

His voice wasn’t loud, but many heard it, and turned their gaze to him.

Cultivator Chen Guan recognized him, a Deputy Commander of the Flying Dragon Knight Order, named Li Hui, who was always by Gong Mingwang’s side.

At this moment, Li Hui was full of excitement: "All the pets that ate the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures died from their heads exploding, but that doesn’t mean human cultivators would face problems eating them. Maybe these Heavenly and Earthly Treasures differ from ordinary treasures, making them inedible for pets..."

Naturally, no one was willing to try his theory, as no one would gamble their life on such a possibility that might not exist at all.

Yet Li Hui was very excited. He grabbed a Vermilion Fruit and moved towards the small alliance of Chu Yutian and the others.

Chu Yutian’s small alliance had been captives of the Flying Dragon Knight Order, but now Li Hui still considered them as people he could manipulate at will. He grabbed a cultivator and tried to force the Vermilion Fruit into his mouth to verify some ideas.

That cultivator’s strength and level were far inferior to Li Hui’s and could not resist being grabbed by Li Hui, who forcibly tried to stuff the Vermilion Fruit into his mouth.

"Let him go." Chu Yutian, Xie Shixi, and other members of the small alliance were furious and charged toward Li Hui.

But Li Hui had already pressed the Vermilion Fruit against that man’s face, and the man, with his mouth tightly shut, shook his head with all his might, afraid to open his mouth to eat it.

The Vermilion Fruit was crushed by Li Hui, and its juice covered that person’s face.

Just as Chu Yutian and the others were about to reach Li Hui, they suddenly heard two loud bangs.

The person with the face and mouth covered in Vermilion Fruit, along with Li Hui, had their heads explode simultaneously, both collapsing to the ground.

For a moment, everyone was stunned. If it was said that the juice of the Vermilion Fruit seeped into that person’s mouth, it would make sense that he died.

But how did Li Hui die? He didn’t eat any Vermilion Fruit, yet he died all the same.

"Could it be... that it’s not eating the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that causes death... but damaging them also leads to death..." At this moment, everyone felt a chill down their spine, involuntarily shivering.

If consuming Heavenly and Earthly Treasures caused death, that would mean there was a problem with the treasures themselves.

But if not consuming the treasures also resulted in death, it might imply that what killed them wasn’t the treasures themselves, but an unseen, terrifying force.

Xie Shixi’s face turned very ugly, trembling as he said, "Have you noticed a problem?"

"What problem?" Chu Yutian, who was on the best of terms with him, immediately asked.

"The way those pets and people died from head explosions is somewhat peculiar." Xie Shixi’s voice shook violently, as if he was extremely frightened, his eyes constantly darting around as if searching for something.

"How is it peculiar?" Chu Yutian didn’t quite understand what he meant.

"I didn’t notice it before, but when Li Hui and that other person’s heads exploded, I realized something was wrong."

"If it was because they ate the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that their heads were blown apart, it should be like fireworks, with blood splattering in all directions."

"But if you look at the ground marks, the blood traces are splattered to both sides..." Xie Shixi pointed at the place where Li Hui and the others fell and said.

People looked over and indeed found exactly as Xie Shixi had said, blood splatter directed towards opposite directions, not all over.

Many smart people were shaken and quickly turned to look at the dead pets.
