Cultivation Pet Shop

432 Chapter 432

After taking care of this ghost, Lin Fan didn't immediately head off to the next room.

After all, he had spent quite a bit of energy in the end to take care of just this one single ghost and there were plenty more just like this ghost that was waiting for him. If he had to spend the same amount of energy to take care of them all, he definitely wouldn't be able to last.

At the very least, he would have to rest before going anywhere else first.

At the same time, there was also the need to check the room that the ghost had been in earlier.

Lin Fan was doing this because he wanted to see if there was anything to gain from defeating a side boss like this, so the first thing he would have to do is naturally check the room that the boss had been in to see if there were any rewards.

There also didn't seem to be any ghosts wandering around this place according to Brainy. The puppets that Brainy had sent out hadn't seen a single ghost wandering around.

It was most likely because of the scene that Lin Fan had seen in front of the door before coming here.

The ghosts most likely already knew that this place was dangerous for them, so they chose to avoid this place.

That was something that Lin Fan could use since he needed a quiet place to catch his breath first.

After coming into the room, Lin Fan had Mo Ze Chen look around for anything special while he sat down cross legged on the padded floor to start using his cultivation technique to heal. The suns inside his dantian began to turn and they quickly provided him with plenty of energy.

This was the one advantage of Lin Fan's God Tier Cultivation Technique, it gathered life energy much faster than a normal cultivation technique. Not to mention that there was the black hole in his dantian as well which drained all the life energy from around him.

It didn't take long before Lin Fan was back in perfect condition.

As soon as he finished gathering life energy, Lin Fan went over to Mo Ze Chen who was just standing there in a daze and asked, "Did you find anything?"

When Mo Ze Chen heard this, he came out of his daze and said, "Boss, there's nothing here at all."

Lin Fan revealed a confused look as he asked, "You didn't find a single thing?"

Mo Ze Chen shook his head and pointed in front of him, "There's nothing here at all, you can see for yourself."

Lin Fan didn't bother responding as he looked around the padded room, but he saw that Mo Ze Chen was right. There wasn't a single thing here, the ghost that had lived here didn't keep a single belonging.

Lin Fan slightly knitted his brows when he saw this, but as he was about to go forward to look, there was a golden flash that came from the corner of his eyes.

Lin Fan turned in that direction and saw that it was coming from the next room over.

Without waiting for a second, Lin Fan walked over to the next room that he had just come from and found that there was a golden glowing object in the pile of ashes on the ground.

The pile of ashes came from the ghost that Lin Fan had defeated and as for this golden glowing object, from what Lin Fan could see, it was a ring.

Even though there was the object right in front of him, Lin Fan didn't go over to it right away. Instead, he waved his hand behind him and called Mo Ze Chen who had followed him after seeing him walk back to this room.

Mo Ze Chen came to Lin Fan's side and while looking at the golden glowing object on the ground, he asked, "Boss, what is it?"

Lin Fan didn't look at him either and was also looking at the golden glowing object before pointing at it while saying, "Go and pick it up."

Mo Ze Chen was surprised to hear this, but he still went forward in the end.

Though there was still one thing that was on their minds, just where had this golden glowing object come from?

When they had been in that room, they definitely hadn't seen it and it had only appeared after they had left.

There was one thought that appeared in Lin Fan's mind as he saw this.

Was it like a drop system, did the ghost only drop it after it had died?

But then who had put the item in the ghost in the first place for it to drop?

Mo Ze Chen came up to the ring and hesitantly reached out towards it before picking it up.

Unlike before with the golden pen where the golden glow didn't enter his body, this time the golden glow crawled up Mo Ze Chen's arm until it reached his forehead where it created a small golden diamond before completely disappearing without a trace.

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes the moment he saw this.

Why didn't this golden glow enter Mo Ze Chen before with the golden pen? Why did it only enter his body now?

Lin Fan had to think for a bit before finally coming to a conclusion.

The boss items were probably special and had an anti cheat system that came with it.

The normal drops from the mid area bosses allowed one to gain the golden diamond that would store the golden glow that each of the special items had.

Last time, Lin Fan was able to directly bypass the mid area boss to reach the final boss room which broke the normal progression. At the same time, Mo Ze Chen never got the golden diamond which would allow him to store this golden glow, which was why there was nothing that happened when he had touched the golden pen.

However, this time was different since they hadn't gone right to the boss in the beginning, which meant that Mo Ze Chen was able to get this golden diamond. From now on, Mo Ze Chen should have the ability to kill the ghosts as well.

But after thinking about it for a bit, Lin Fan couldn't help finding a flaw with this system.

After all, there was still the array that was present in this place.

Without the golden glow, one wouldn't be able to kill these ghosts and without killing the ghosts, it was impossible for the golden item to drop. This created a paradox since one couldn't get the golden glow without killing a ghost for the golden item, but they couldn't kill the ghost in the first place without the golden glow.

It was a case of what came first, the chicken or the egg.

It also meant that Lin Fan must have missed a step because it would be impossible that the creator of this place wouldn't have thought of this. Even Lin Fan could have thought of this with just a few seconds of thought, it wouldn't be possible for the creator of this place to miss it.

However, there was no way to Lin Fan to think this through, so he decided to not think about it.

After seeing Mo Ze Chen acquire this golden glow, he released a few more puppets for Brainy who had those puppets run off.

After a few seconds, there were the sounds of ghost wails that came from the end of the corridor as one puppet came back with a ghost following behind it.

Lin Fan didn't bother saying anything as he grabbed Mo Ze Chen by the back of the collar and threw him right at the ghost.

This time, he didn't even give Mo Ze Chen anything to defend himself with.

Mo Ze Chen looked at Lin Fan with a shocked look. Could it be that this boss of his was finally getting rid of him?

Mo Ze Chen knew that he was nothing more than a burden for Lin Fan, but he never expected his boss to suddenly betray him like this.

As he looked at Lin Fan with a wronged look, the ghost immediately came right up to him with a wide open mouth.

Mo Ze Chen knew that there was no way for him to react in time because unlike before, this ghost was actually in the peak Embryo Soul Realm. This was a realm that was just much too high for Mo Ze Chen to deal with.

All Mo Ze Chen could do was accept his fate.

However, his fate wasn't what he expected it to be.

The teeth of the ghost approached Mo Ze Chen, but right before they could bite into him, there was a golden sparkle that appeared.

Starting from the golden diamond that appeared on his forehead, the golden glow spread all over Mo Ze Chen until it completely covered him.

As the ghost bit down, the first thing it felt was a burning sensation before pain completely filled its mouth.

It didn't even have a chance to stop as all the teeth in its mouth turned into ash. However, it didn't just stop there as the burning sensation continued to spread, going all the way through the ghost's head until the entire head had been turned into ash.

Just like that, the ghost didn't even know what had happened as it died.

Mo Ze Chen flew right through the ashes until he landed on the floor covered in ash.

After he came out of his daze, he looked down at himself and realized that he was completely fine.
