Cultivation Pet Shop

When the skeleton fish reached the balls of strange energy, they didn't open their mouths to bite at them like last time.

Instead, they suddenly tapped their heads against the balls of strange energy.

Lin Fan could feel the strange energy flowing out of them and into the balls of strange energy.

After this strange energy flowed into the balls of strange energy, he felt the connection between him and the strange balls of energy. The strange energy that went into the strange balls of energy…flowed into him.

It was as if they were gathering energy for him.

At the same time, after each skeleton fish touched the balls of strange energy, Lin Fan could feel…a new connection with each of the skeleton fish.

It was as if he could control them with his mind.

So he focused on one of the skeleton fish and gave it an order.

As soon as that skeleton fish received the order, it immediately flew towards Lin Fan.

Seeing this, the other three immediately raised their guard and prepared to fight, but they were stopped by Lin Fan who raised a hand.

They revealed a confused look, but they still watched the skeleton fish come closer.

The skeleton fish had charged at full speed towards Lin Fan until it was close to him. Then it suddenly slowed down until it stopped in front of Lin Fan, floating there as if it was waiting for something.

Lin Fan slowly reached out his hand and touched the skeleton fish on the head, but there was no reaction from the skeleton fish.

Lin Fan turned his eyes to the other skeleton fish floating there and with another thought, they all started heading in his direction. Then they did the same thing as the first skeleton fish and stopped in front of him.

They all came forward and lined up in a row in front of him, as if they were waiting for orders.

Seeing this, the other three couldn't help being shocked.

It didn't take them long though to understand what was happening.

They had already heard from Lin Fan that the one who controlled the skeleton fish was the Outer God fragment.

Now that Lin Fan had absorbed this Outer God fragment, it wasn't hard to imagine that the control of these skeleton fish was transferred over to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan started giving the skeleton fish more orders to test the limits of what he could do with them. As he became more and more familiar with the skeleton fish, he was able to command them to take many different formations and put on a show with them.

But of course, the other three weren't impressed since they knew that he was just playing around.

So with a slap on the back of the head from Angela, Lin Fan let the skeleton fish stop their performance and had them take positions around them.

He would use the skeleton fish to guide them across the stone bridge.

It was much more relaxed this time since they had these skeleton fish guards.

Even when more skeleton fish appeared out of the canyon, all Lin Fan had to do was release his balls of strange energy and they would start following them as guards.

Just like this, Lin Fan was able to collect a bunch of skeleton fish that followed his group along the way.

When they arrived at the other side, Lin Fan dismissed these skeleton fish and they all returned back into the canyon.

All of them except for one that Momonga insisted on bringing along to study.

Since it was big enough, Lin Fan decided that they would ride it instead of walking.

So all of them got onto the back of the skeleton fish. Though when Angela and Yuki got on the back, they couldn't help revealing strange looks.

Lin Fan couldn't help feeling worried when he saw this, so he asked, "What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"

Angela shook her head at first, but then she also gave a nod which completely confused Lin Fan.

After being silent for a bit, she explained, "It's this skeleton fish, it feels strange sitting on it. I didn't feel anything earlier when we were being attacked by it, but it feels strange riding on it." After a pause, she added, "It's almost like a natural repulsion, like we aren't supposed to mix."

Lin Fan gave a nod when he heard this.

Undead and spirits were natural enemies, so it was normal for her to feel this way.

Angela then said, "It's fine if we sit on it for a bit, but if we have to sit on it for a long time…"

She looked over at Yuki who nodded in agreement.

Lin Fan understood what they meant, so he said, "It's just a little while. It won't be much longer."

Both of them nodded and sat down on the back of the skeleton fish.

During their trip, the one that was the most excited was Momonga who kept moving around the skeleton fish, looking at every inch of it.

Like he had said, this was a kind of undead that he had never encountered before and it was created with a law that he didn't recognize. So he would certainly benefit from researching this thing.

It was just that in his fervor, even Lin Fan found him annoying.

He had never seen Momonga like this before, but then again, this was the first time that he had seen something that Momonga didn't recognize. It turned out that this was how he acted when he met something new like this…

Still, Lin Fan couldn't take how annoying he was anymore, so he made Momonga sit down.

But then he realized his mistake as he had to suffer through a lecture from him about this skeleton fish.

It was just a good thing that the ride wasn't that long and they were able to reach the city very quickly. Otherwise, Lin Fan might not have been able to contain the urge to throw him off the skeleton fish.

When they arrived in the city, they could have gone right past it, but there was something that Lin Fan wanted to try first.

So they went to the first building that they could find and carefully made their way up to the second floor with the jade bed.

Once they were there, they found that there was still a skeleton lying there.

Just like before, once they came close enough, the skeleton immediately turned its head and looked at them with those empty eye holes. Then it stood up and started making its way towards them.

Lin Fan saw this and released a ball of strange energy in front of the skeleton.

When the skeleton noticed this, it immediately stopped before moving towards that ball of strange energy.

Just like with the skeleton fish, this skeleton didn't bite into it like it had done before. Instead, it just placed a hand on the ball of strange energy before its strange energy started flowing into it.

Lin Fan felt the same connection as with the skeleton fish form with this skeleton.

Then with a single thought, he found that he was able to control it.

As expected, he was able to control the undead of this cultivation realm now that he had absorbed the Outer God fragment.

They would be able to explore wherever they wanted in this cultivation realm with this ability…

Well, not everywhere since there would be natural disasters and beasts that Lin Fan couldn't control here as well, but they would be able to explore most places. Especially if Lin Fan used the undead as guards or scouts.

So this was a very good thing.

It was just that now wasn't the time for them to explore this.

They could always come back to this cultivation realm and take care of these matters.

There was only one place that Lin Fan and Momonga wanted to explore right now.

It was also the reason why they had come back into the city in the first place.

They wanted to check out the large buildings that they hadn't been able to check out before because they were in a rush.

They could tell that these large buildings had important things, so they were very curious about what was inside.

However, they didn't rush to head into the large buildings.

Instead, they went around the smaller buildings around the large buildings and started gathering a bunch of skeletons.

Lin Fan just released his balls of strange energy and attracted the skeletons from the buildings. Once they were attracted, he formed the connection with them with these balls of strange energy.

He was able to gather a large horde of these skeletons, even bigger than the ones that had chased them through the city previously with these balls of strange energy.

Only then did their group head to the large buildings.

They chose the one that was closest to the area that they were in and they sent the skeletons in to check it out first.

They stood at the entrance, watching the skeletons as they made their way in.

Nothing happened to these skeletons at first, but then…there was a sudden explosion as something giant dropped down on the skeletons. As soon as they landed, all of them were shattered to pieces and they were scattered across the room.

This was a giant creature that was made of different kinds of bones that had dropped down where the group of skeletons had been.
