God of Pets

Chapter 10 Breaking the promise
Almost at the same time as Lu Kai shot the arrow, Lao Niao also drew his bow and shot an arrow. The two arrows unexpectedly collided with each other in the air.

The old bird's arrow was obviously less powerful than Lu Kai's arrow, and it was broken directly. However, Lu Kai's arrow was also knocked off its trajectory and fell to the side.

Nan Jihong and another evolver showed surprise on their faces. Lu Kai was stunned at first, then his face became gloomy. He directly pulled out the arrow and quickly drew the bow and shot again.

The old bird was not in a hurry. He drew his bow and shot arrows again, and then saw the two arrows collide with each other again.

Lu Kai's face looked grim. He kept shooting arrows at the old bird. The old bird fought back without hesitation. The arrows flew through the air and finally collided with each other.

Lu Kai's arrows were powerful and heavy, and their speed and strength were much greater than the old bird's. Each arrow could break the old bird's arrows, but the old bird's shooting speed was faster than him, and each arrow could just block Lu Kai's arrows.

When Lu Kai shot the sixth arrow, the old bird shot one more arrow than him. Lu Kai had just shot the arrow and had no time to dodge. The old bird shot the arrow and hit the top of his helmet, knocking Lu Kai's helmet off.

Lu Kai's face turned pale. If the arrow had been shot at his eyes which were not protected by armor, he would have been in great danger and would have been seriously injured if not killed.

Ji Nanhong and another cultivator looked at the old bird in disbelief. They couldn't believe that this was the old bird they knew. Although its strength was not as good, its accuracy was really incredible.

"When it comes to archery, you are still far behind. With your archery skills, you will never be able to hit the eyes of the Mahakala statue in your lifetime. Go back and practice more." The old bird said proudly while standing there.

After hearing what Lao Niao said, Chen Guan knew that his previous guess was indeed correct. Lao Niao's seemingly reckless and impulsive behavior was actually showing Ji Nanhong his strength and value.

Chen Guan understood what was happening, but said nothing.

"Old Bird, are you sure you can hit the vertical eye of the Mahakala statue?" Ji Nanhong asked the old bird indifferently.

"Except me, I believe there is no one else on the island who can do it." The old bird's self-confidence has reached its peak, and he said proudly.

"Captain, don't listen to his bragging. He was just lucky just now. It's impossible for him to be so lucky all the time..." Lu Kai said gritting his teeth.

"You rely on luck to shoot arrows. Don't think that everyone relies on luck like you." The old bird glanced at him disdainfully and said contemptuously.

"You..." Lu Kai wanted to retort, but Ji Nanhong waved his hand to stop him.

It seems that Ji Nanhong's prestige is indeed very high. She just waved her hand, and Lu Kai swallowed back what he wanted to say and didn't dare to say another word.

Ji Nanhong reached out and pulled out a pocket watch, holding it between her fingers. She said to the old bird, "I will open and close the watch cover at the same time as the Mahakala Golem's vertical eye opens and closes. If you can shoot it before I close the watch cover, you can return to the elite team. After killing the Mahakala Golem, you will have a share of the spoils."

"I want 30%." said the old bird.

"Hit the target first..." As soon as Ji Nanhong finished speaking, he flicked open the watch cover with his finger without any warning, and at the same time, he was about to open the cover with another finger.

The moment she opened the watch cover, an arrow flew over and pierced through the dial directly. The arrow tip continued to fly forward with undiminished force and nailed into the trunk of a big tree, with the tail of the arrow trembling continuously.

"Very good. From now on, you will return to the elite team, and you will receive 30% of the spoils from the Mahakala Golem." Ji Nanhong said directly, without the slightest hesitation. Lu Kai's strength was indeed stronger than that of the old bird, and his arrows were more powerful than the old bird's, but his accuracy and timing were indeed not as good as the old bird's.

Now it seems that what the old bird said just now was indeed correct. On this island, only his archery skills could destroy the Mahakala statue.

"I have two more conditions. I need to reach level ten first, and you also need to bring your brother into the elite team." The old bird pointed at Chen Guan and said.

"Old bird, don't go too far. Why should a newcomer join our elite team?" Lu Kai said coldly.

"Because he is my brother, and because only I can shoot the vertical eye of the Mahakala statue." The old bird puffed out his chest, not looking at Lu Kai, but looking at Ji Nanhong. He knew that only Ji Nanhong had the final say on this matter.

"We need to raise you to level ten. This will increase our chances of killing the Mahakala Golem. But letting a newcomer join the team violates the rules our elite team set in the first place. If the rules are broken, who will abide by them in the future? If everyone does this, it won't be long before the elite team has more than just these few members. By then, the spoils will be divided thinly, and you won't have much left. You don't want things to develop into that situation, do you?"

Seeing that the old bird's eyes were somewhat relaxed, Ji Nanhong continued: "It is impossible for a newcomer to join the team. I have a unique secret method here as a sincere invitation for you to rejoin the team."

As he spoke, Ji Nanhong took out a golden secret core and threw it directly at the old bird.

The old bird reached out to take the secret magic core, and after a slight sense, he immediately knew the information about the secret magic core. It was just as Ji Nanhong said, this was a unique secret magic.

"Vajra Sutra... a unique piece..." The old bird was ecstatic. Even on this island, there were so many high-quality secret spirits, and it was extremely difficult to obtain a unique secret technique. Only a few people like Ji Nanhong who stood at the top of the pyramid possessed a unique secret technique. He could obtain it now, which could immediately save him from many detours and increase his vitality limit in the future.

The old bird directly absorbed the secret core and learned the Vajra Peak Sutra. Then, after a moment of hesitation, he turned to look at Chen Guan and sighed, "Brother, wait a few days. I will help you level up later."

"Didn't we agree to go together to kill the Mahakala statue?" Chen Guan had already guessed that this would happen, but he still wanted the old bird to say it in person.

"It's not that easy to kill the Mahakala statue. The two of us can't do it. It's too dangerous. We might even lose our lives. Don't worry, I'm here. I promise that you won't suffer any harm on this island. I'll take you to level up when I come back." The old bird comforted him.

"Okay, everyone has their own destiny, you can go." Chen Guan said lightly. How could he believe such empty promises?

Once a veteran joins an elite team, he will have his own circle. He will only hang out with people in his circle and will not spare a lot of time to help him level up.

A person who just made a promise and then turned his head away to forget about it, even if he came back, Chen Guan would never cooperate with him again.

"Come on, old bird. Come with us to complete the mission. We can help you level up." The cultivator riding the ghost-headed horse stretched out his hand to the old bird, meaning for him to get on the horse and ride together.

Ji Nanhong directly summoned a rare quality ghost-headed horse pet, and then gave the ghost-headed horse pet to the old bird: "It will be yours from now on."

The old bird was overjoyed and rode on the ghost horse. For a moment, he was very proud and satisfied, as if his life had reached its peak.
