Starting With Contract Pets Chapter 141 - What Is At The End Of The Crack?

Chapter 141 - What Is At The End Of The Crack?

Without the Insect Queen, the insect ruins' degree of danger was not as high as that of the Chinese Redbud Wilderness itself, and they did not encounter even a commander monster.

After leaving the insect ruins, Su Bai and Chen Ruoxue directly came to the Chinese Redbud crack. They had come to the monster wilderness not just to hunt for treasures but also to fight and find their own shortcomings.

In order to compete for resources in the monster wilderness, they must fight with fellow Pet Tamers and guard monsters. Sometimes they fought alone, sometimes in groups.

This was why Pet Tamers, who had experienced the monster wilderness, were much better than the average school compet.i.tion champion Pet Tamers.

The dangers experienced by the two sides were incomparable. In the early years, the alliance still supported school compet.i.tions, but later on, after suffering big losses, all kinds of positions required certain experience in the wilderness.

Schools must also have this kind of field training, and the college entrance examination system changed accordingly.

One month was neither short nor long. Su Bai and Chen Ruoxue took their pets to fight on the way and risked penetrating the depths of the Chinese Redbud crack.

Along the way, Su Bai continuously trained his pets, allowing them to experience life and death trials.

Purple Jade was still in charge of controlling the flow of torture; its battle tactics had taken shape after the Ultimate Absorption skill.

When it expanded Thorns Domain, Wood Spirit Replacement and flexible movements could be used; Vine Whip also restricted the opponent's movement. Its parasitic poison, meanwhile, consumed the opponent as Energy Burst hit the target with a barrage of powerful bullets. As for the Gra.s.s Sword Storm, it had a wide range of damage. Coupled with its recovery in the domain and restoration via Ultimate Absorption, the cub was almost invincible.

Even if its opponent was a higher-order existence, as long as it was not a fire attribute, the cub could slowly exhaust it.

The Little Tyrant, for its part, had explosive offense, and its skill power was also terrifying. No matter which opponent it was up against, it could not die and was one of the main damage dealers.

The Little Blood Dragon was also among the main damage dealers, especially when it came to dragon pets. At the same time, because it had excellent natural defenses and was not afraid of death, it excelled in defense.

After unleas.h.i.+ng the Sea of Blood, all kinds of disgusting negative effects could be imposed on the enemy. It was just like any actual dragon that had descended into the world, unstoppable and unbeatable.

However, in fact, this was not the most powerful characteristic of his pet dragon. This was its terrifying ability to turn enemies into friends.

As long as the opponent's level was lower than it, it could activate the First Dragon Blood to forcibly transform the opponent into its blood subordinate, thereby controlling its life and death.

The First Dragon Blood descendants were very special, and the transformation was not an attack or a negative effect but a gift to help the descendants evolve and mutate, letting them automatically absorb power.

Furthermore, if the opponent was at the same level or a lower level than his pet dragon, it would find it too difficult to escape the transformation.

Because his pet was an Ancestor Blood Dragon, its bloodline characteristics probably allowed it to create a unique style of play which others could not imitate.

This was what Su Bai summed up through multiple battles.

As for the Mewling Fox, he had positioned it as the main force, compensating for some attribute restraint problems. After all, it had the Thousand Face skill and could learn skills of all attributes.

"The deepest part of the Chinese Redbud Wilderness is in front. Any further in and it should be the end."

Chen Ruoxue looked at the tall and dense forest ahead.

s.p.a.ce cracks definitely had an end since these small monster wildernesses were actually fragments of the world.

"It is what they often call the cliff forest, where it's said to have a large number of commander and monarch monsters, but there might even be emperor monsters lurking inside.

"Do you want to go in and explore? It's already twenty-third of October; we only have seven days left before the end of the five schools' entrance examination. It'll take us three days to rush back."

Su Bai sat down and asked.

In fact, he was also curious about it. Since young, he had wondered what it was like at the end of the road.

"Howl! ( ̄へ ̄)"

Of course, we must explore it! I wanna write my name at the forest's end.

The cub raised its claws and bobbed its head.

The Little Tyrant and the Mewling Fox did not express their views and were rather indifferent about it.

"I also wanna go in and look around; I wonder what's at the end of the monster wilderness…" said Chen Rouxue.

"Hehe!"

I wanna carve my name with Sister Jade!

Big Demon raised its small hand and expressed its opinion.

"Alright. Let's go, then."

Su Bai stood up and gestured.

He let the dino and the ghost activate their concealment skills before they crept to the end of the forest.

Although wild monsters had rich combat experience, unlike human pets that could learn skills through skill jades, they relied entirely on awakening and perception. Thus, their skills were relatively lacking.

For example, it was not a problem for Su Bai to command his high-level warlord cub to deal with a commander monster, but that was not the case for a monarch monster.

The monarch monster was too high and could drop ten times the attack power, so there was no way to fight them. Su Bai's group had no choice but to withdraw and hide in the cliff forest, pa.s.sing through easily and broadening their horizons.

Every monster had its own territory, so his group had to be careful not to step into it.

In fact, as long as they were not greedy, they could avoid many dangers.

"Look, there are dragon pets here. Look at the triceratops running wildly in the distance. Although it's not a pure blood dragon, it's still considered a dragon," Su Bai whispered.

Triceratops resembled dinosaurs because they did not have wings and were flightless, but they were still earth dragons.

"We can't fight high-level commander dragons. Let's go through the forest to see the end and then return without regrets," Chen Ruoxue said.

Su Bai nodded in agreement. This cliff forest was rather good, and he would find an opportunity to explore it next time.

Along the way, they only looked and did not touch. They took a detour if danger was ahead and only picked up items at their feet or if there was absolutely no danger. Following these principles, they came to the end of the forest at noon after two days.

"Oh, it actually looks like this. Let's go ahead and see what's under it," Su Bai looked in front and said.

At the end of the forest was a stone cliff nearly a kilometer tall. Further away was a gray void with nothing there.

"Let's go over and take a look at the edge of the stone cliff. We're here already, anyway." Chen Ruoxue suggested.

Su Bai nodded and walked forward with the pets.

"Howl! (▼へ▼メ)"

The cub looked upset. D*mn it! The stone cliff is already engraved with names, leaving no place for us!

Su Bai could not help but laugh upon seeing its expression. In fact, he had already predicted this situation.

Upon hearing his laughter, the cub raised its head and glared at him. Laugh more, and I'll throw you down.

"I don't dare to laugh anymore." He quickly shut up.

Soon, he walked to the edge of the stone cliff, where half a meter in front of his feet was a void with nothing underneath. If he fell, there really would be nothing left.

The end of the forest was unsatisfactory, with neither a beautiful scenery nor any treasures, but they all still felt a sense of satisfaction, for they had reached the end of the road.

The cub finally buckled a large flat stone from the ground and wrote down all of Su Bai's pets' names including his.

It then pushed the stone to the edge of the stone cliff. Big Demon chased after it, wanting to write its name as well, but the cub only ignored it.

Su Bai: "…Why did you add 'big bad guy' after my name?"

"Howl! ( ̄へ ̄)"

Glancing at him, the cub raised its paw and threw the stone off the cliff before squatting angrily on the ground.

"Hehe!"

Big Demon pulled out a stone tablet, but it was unfortunately illiterate. It ran over to hold Chen Rouxue and begged her to teach it how to write.

Soon, it wrote four lines of crooked words:

Ruoxue, my Pet Tamer.

Little cutie, Qiu Qiu

Xiao Bai

Purple Jade, play buddy

Looking at its crooked handwriting, Big Demon nodded in satisfaction and let out a jolly laughter before throwing the stone tablet into the endless void.

"What do you want to write?" Su Bai looked at Chen Ruoxue.

"What about you?" she asked.

Smiling, he took out a plank he had prepared a long time ago and wrote a poem using a sharp stone: When the roc flies with the wind one day, it will fly to the highest sky.

On the other side, he engraved all their names.

"Very nice."

Chen Ruoxue praised him and engraved on a wooden board: Today, we have reached the end of the road together.

When they were about to throw the plank down, a hearty voice came from behind them. "Such ordinary Pet Tamers like you actually walked here; it's too surprising."

"Who are you?"

Both whipped their heads about immediately. At the same time, the pets also turned around and adopted defensive stances.

Yes, after entering the forest, Su Bai had also released his pet dragon. After all, it was his pet and could not be kept in the contract book all the time, or else it would be too unfair for it.

However, he did not expect that a stranger, who just happened to see the dragon, would pop out in the originally empty place.

The person was a young man who was standing on the back of a Golden Eagle. As the eagle landed on the ground, he stood not far away from Su Bai and looked curiously at them.

"Haha! Don't be afraid; I'm not a bad person. I'm just a pa.s.serby who happened to come here through Cannes to look. Don't worry; I won't hurt you. If I had any intentions, you would already be dead."

The man smiled and waved his hand, but his eyes scanned and sized up the pets, looking very curious.

Indeed, he was not bluffing. The Golden Eagle standing beside him was a monarch pet, and Su Bai could not defeat it even with the blood dragon.

"Then what do you want?" He stared at him suspiciously. Humans were the most untrustable in the wilderness.

"I just saw your dragon and the poem you wrote on the wooden board from a distance. I was intrigued and decided to come over to make friends with you. My name is Fang Yuan; I'm from Fuyao Gymnasium."

The young man laughed and said, "Don't worry; I'm not coveting your dragon pet. I have my own."

As he spoke, a faint blue crystal-like diamond-level contract book materialized out of thin air. The contract pages turned and a dragon pet was released.

It was a ferocious Frost Dragon, more than sixty meters long and seemingly able to cover the sky and the sun. It exuded an ancient and mysterious terrifying aura. It was clearly a monarch but felt as terrifying as the brilliant sun and as unfathomable as a bottomless abyss.

"This… is a complete Frost Dragon!"

Both Su Bai and Chen Ruoxue were frozen in place and speechless.

The complete Frost Dragon was possibly the most powerful type of dragon. More importantly, in the entire world, only Fuyao Gymnasium had it and only core disciples could own such.

Fang Yuan was not lying. He actually came from the world's top gymnasium. No wonder he liked the poem written by Su Bai because that was the gymnasium's slogan.

"Haha! Don't be so shocked. Your Ancestor Blood Dragon will grow stronger than mine. After all, my Frost Dragon isn't an ancestor dragon."

Fang Yuan smiled.

Upon hearing that, the gigantic Frost Dragon turned its head and glanced uncomfortably at Fang Yuan. It looked unconvinced.

"Were you sent by Fuyao Gymnasium to investigate my pet dragon? I don't believe in such coincidences."

Su Bai returned to his senses and glanced at the young man in inquiry.

"Haha! Have I been discovered?" Fang Yuan smiled, looking embarra.s.sed. "Don't worry, though. I have no malice, and there's no such a task in the gymnasium. I just sneaked out to see if you fit in, and if you're fit to be my friend.

"Now, it seems that you're very suitable for making friends."

"Oh, I'm open to making friends. I thought you're here to s.n.a.t.c.h my dragon and was ready to notify my master to come over."

Su Bai sighed in relief.

Generally, if others wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h contracted pets, they could only kill the Pet Tamers. The contract would be automatically cancelled, thereby renewing the pets' owners.h.i.+p.

However, there was one exception, and that was if the pet and the Pet Tamer had a bond skill. Under this situation, they were bound to death, so there was no way to contract the pet even if the Pet Tamer was killed.

This was also why no one s.n.a.t.c.hed the divine pets of many rookie Pet Tamers. The first pet hatched with the spirit soul stones generally had bond skills and could not be contracted again.

Su Bai's Purple Jade and the Little Blood Dragon were currently in such circ.u.mstances. They would only follow him in this life and could not be contracted by others.

As for the Little Tyrant and the Mewling Fox, their bond skills had yet to appear for the time being.

Fang Yuan: "…Now that you know my purpose, aren't you going to change back to your original appearance?"

He had originally searched in the five schools' joint examination field but it was to no avail. He was about to go around in the wilderness when he happened to spot them at the entrance of the Chinese Redbud crack and followed them all the way up here.

This boy was bold for sneaking out during the a.s.sessment.

"Forget it."

Su Bai ignored it and had no intentions of changing back.

Fang Yuan had recognized them thanks to the photos of this boy's two pets.

"Okay, then," he said helplessly, thinking that the boy was really cautious.

"Now that I've seen your blood dragon and have made friends with you, I'll take my leave. I heard that there's an emperor monster here; I want to look for it.

"As for your dragon, don't be afraid that I will report it to the Alliance.

"Still, you should be careful not to be fooled by some aristocratic families. They're not as easygoing.

"As for the ban on blood pets, don't be afraid about it, too. It's absolute nonsense in the circle of Pet Tamers. There's no problem with the pet itself; it's a problem with humans."

Fang Yuan jumped onto the back of the Golden Eagle after keeping his Frost Dragon. He smiled and waved goodbye to the boy.

"Thank you."

Su Bai nodded and waved.

After Fang Yuan finished speaking, he flew away on the Golden Eagle. Instead of wooing the boy in the same way as those royal dragon families, he was really here just to make friends.
