Starting With Contract Pets

Chapter 185 - Scapegoat



Chapter 185: Scapegoat

Su Bai would put one every thousand kilometers or so. This new Scarlet Wilderness was very large, so the distance was appropriate.

As he became more and more proficient in it, his distribution also became much faster. After half a month, he finished spreading the gluttonous Flesh Devourers over the first territory of Scarlet Wilderness.

Without resting, he passed through the spatial gate and came to the second territory of Scarlet Wilderness.

“Little Dragon, how do you feel?” In the clouds, he looked down at his pet dragon and asked.

“Roar.” Since half a month ago, I’ve felt the number of my blood subordinates steadily increasing, and the growth rate is also getting faster.

I received more and more backfeeding from the dead monsters, and I feel like I’m about to break through to the monarch grade, replied the dragon through its spirit voice.

“That’s good; let’s continue then.” Su Bai nodded in satisfaction. One round of experiment had let him understand the feasibility of the plan.

Are we not returning for the time being? Your exam results should be out, right? Don’t you have to apply? asked the cub curiously.

“Don’t worry. These are all small things. I already asked Ruoxue to do it for me.”

Filling in his application form was very simple. He and Chen Ruoxue had already discussed in advance which school to apply for, and there was no need to choose slowly when the grades were out, for he was confident that his grades were more than sufficient to get him to his desired university.

His results had been released a few days ago, and he had gotten a perfect score of 1,000, landing him the status as the top scorer in the nation. However, he was not the only one; three other people had scored the same and tied with him for first place.

Including Chen Ruoxue and three others, a total of five people had scored full marks.

The college entrance examination on Blue Planet was different from that of Earth. Humans on Earth had limits, but there were no limits for Pet Tamers on Blue Planet.

Reaching the level of an elite Pet Tamer like Su Bai almost gave him a highly retentive memory. The pets’ backfeeding was no joke, especially that of powerful and rare pets.

It could even be said that the Pet Tamers above the elite level were no longer considered human beings and had been separated from the level of ordinary people.

Although the summoners would also make mistakes and still had to retain knowledge, as long as they were serious, numerous people with full marks would appear every year across the country.

Most of those who had reached the elite Pet Tamer level would obtain a stable score of above 980 provided that they prepared well.

The college entrance examination was originally a talent selection examination. It was aimed at everyone and could not be too difficult.

However, the elite Pet Tamers originally belonged to the existence of exceeding the public level. They could be described as rare, so it was only natural for them to obtain outstanding exam results.

Furthermore, Su Bai had reviewed for three whole months seriously.

After half a month, in mid-July, he had already quietly gone through three territories in Scarlet Wilderness.

Because of the time constraint, he had changed his method. In places where monsters were dense, he would spend a few more hours cultivating them to commander grades. Where monsters were scarce, he would just nurture them before letting them free. Anyway, it was a wide-spread network, so it was normal even if they died.

Sometimes, they would be killed even after he had painstakingly nurtured them to the commander grade.

It was a pity that the gluttony characteristic of the hunger potion could not be transmitted, and once it was dead, it would be over once and for all.

Nonetheless, death would generally play a role in spreading the bloodline.

Including the fifth territory managed by Wei Ya, he had now conquered almost half.

After checking the time, he decided to speed up again.

The parts of the Scarlet Wilderness, which he had gone through, caused a turbulent struggle inside.

The criminals and adventurers hiding in the wilderness scrambled to collect the blood ashes after discovering that it greatly improved the strength of their pets.

For a while, the blood ashes also became a kind of existence equivalent to hard currency. Many people originally felt that they were problematic, but studies found that it had no other negative effects other than converting their pets into bloodlines.

This incident had even been noticed by some deeply hidden organizations. Many people also caught some Flesh Devourers in the state of gluttony for research.

However, the research results only showed that this thing was made by humans, and nothing else was discovered. Many people coveted the potion which could turn monsters into gluttons.

At the headquarters of the Twelve Dragon Slayers, in a large conference room, twelve figures hidden in black robes were sitting around a round table.

The leader was a tall man with two black horns on his head. He was nearly three meters tall and full of muscles. He looked bigger than an adult hippopotamus just by standing there, and his body also exuded a frightening aura.

He was the boss of the Twelve Dragon Slayers, codenamed the Black Dragon King, and had an unfathomable background.

“I gathered everyone this time to ask a few things. First, the special Flesh Devourers that have frequently appeared in the Scarlet Wilderness should be a masterpiece of one of us, right?

“At least, it should have something to do with one of you because we all understand that if we want to cross the monster wilderness so quickly, it’s only possible through the spatial gates. However, rings to access the spatial gates are only available to our organization.

“Of course, I’m not saying this to prevent it from happening. No matter what you do or whose territory is under you, it is your own business, provided that you don’t damage the core interests of the organization.

“I’m bringing up this matter just for the medicine that can starve the Flesh Devourers. As long as you are willing to reveal the formula, the benefits of the organization will definitely satisfy you.”

The Black Dragon King’s voice was low and hoarse, and he looked at the others calmly after speaking.

“I want to know who made those monsters, too; I’m afraid that there’s no good intentions behind it.”

“Who made them? The rewards given by the organization have never been stingy.”

Someone chuckled.

“I’m also curious about what kind of potion this is for the organization to place such importance on it.”

The group of people discussed it furtively, but one admitted being the mastermind.

Everyone here was far from stupid and would not possibly admit this kind of thing face to face. After all, all monsters were put into the Scarlet Wilderness under the jurisdiction of others.

Under the black brim of her hat, Wei Ya’s black eyes revealed shock.

Others could not see the trickiness of the blood ashes, but with Su Bai’s blood beads, it was clear to her that all the monsters, which had taken the blood ashes, were transformed into the blood subordinates of the Ancestor Blood Dragon. All these people were unaware that the life and death of their pets were already under someone else’s control.

After she realized what he was doing, she was shocked senseless. He actually wanted to turn the monsters in the entire Scarlet Wilderness into his dragon’s blood subordinates.

He even performed it so beautifully and secretly.

As for the source of the special potion, she could only blame the youth’s master, Gao An. Other than him, she could not think of anyone else.

She was annoyed that he did not tell her in advance about such big news. She was not scared to death upon finding out about it and just wanted this meeting to end quickly so she could look for the boy.

With the ability of the organization, they had probably found out about her involvement in this matter. The organization always got what they wanted, so she was afraid that someone would already be looking for Su Bai’s trace.

“It’s okay. There are still rewards if you tell me within the day.” The Black Dragon King smiled. “The second thing is the battle for the Blood Moon divine skill which is about to be born.

“We all have the right to snatch this divine skill, but it must not fall into the hands of the Pet Alliance. This is our home game; if it falls into the hands of the alliance, I have to suspect that there’s a mole inside us.

“If there is a mole, I think that everyone should understand the end, right? After all, there are so many people who want to sit in your positions.”

The hearts of everyone sank. Since the birth of the Twelve Dragon Slayers, the Dragon Kings had been replaced multiple times. Only the Black Dragon King, White Dragon King, and Golden Dragon King had never changed in more than one hundred years.

“The third thing is that everyone must have noticed the abnormality on Blue Planet. I can tell you responsibly that the situation this time is completely different from normal circumstances.

“Everyone, make mental preparations. The Twelve Dragon Slayers have a lot to settle with others.”

The third news of the Black Dragon King made everyone’s face sink further. This meant that something big was about to happen. The last time the Black Dragon King had said this, half of the dragon pets in the entire alliance were killed.

Where those dragon corpses went was still a well-kept secret.

“Okay, the meeting ends here. You can all be off.” The Black Dragon King waved his hand and turned to leave.

The others looked at one another. They no longer cared about the special potion and left in a hurry, shaken to the core because of the Black Dragon King’s third information.

Wei Ya also followed the crowd silently, and she walked back ten minutes later.

“Black Dragon King.” Wei Ya bowed slightly. Although she was now a heavenly queen Pet Tamer with a sovereign pet, she still did not dare to disregard the Black Dragon King.

It was because this person before her could kill a monarch with bare hands.

“Mistress Wei Ya, you’re too courteous. I think that special hunger potion has come from you. You’re really young and promising. With your qualifications, as long as you work hard, you might be the next person to occupy the seat of the Dragon King permanently.”

The Black Dragon King turned to look at Wei Ya and smiled slightly.

“Master Black, you’re kidding; I’m still too inexperienced.

“The hunger potion was indeed made by me, but it will take a few days before I can give it to the organization. Please allow me a few days of grace period and don’t make a move on my people.” She slightly bowed, not wanting Su Bai to die, nor did she want her apprentice Chen Ruoxue to be sad, so she had to make herself the scapegoat.

The gentle and polite attitude of the Black Dragon King was all a disguise. These people were already machines made of flesh and blood, and they no longer had any emotions.

“Of course, don’t worry about it, Mistress Wei Ya.” The Black Dragon King behaved very mildly.

Wei Ya walked out of the headquarters and patted her chest, taking a deep breath. This place was too suffocating.

After a while, she released a card and flew quickly in Su Bai’s direction.

After half a month, in the eighth territory of Scarlet Wilderness.

Su Bai looked at his new location and patted his dragon. “Let’s go. Find something like a gathering place; I want to buy some materials, I’ve already used up all my supplies.”

Okay. The Blood Dragon nodded and quickly flew through the clouds.

Upon closer inspection, its breath could hardly be suppressed, and it was almost on the verge of breaking through any time.

In fact, it could break through half a month ago, but Su Bai had told it to suppress its strength forcefully. It must only absorb the most quintessence of strength remitted back to it.

Not far away, he saw a gathering place.

Because he had been busy cultivating the Flesh Devourers, he had not made a stopover at any human gathering place in all Scarlet Wilderness territories he passed through.

However, he knew that there were more gathering places in the other territories not managed by Wei Ya.

After changing his appearance and keeping his pets, he walked toward the gathering place called Sunset City.

“Sir, have you been to Sunset City before? Is your stay indefinite or transient?”

Su Bai walked to the city gate and was stopped by a guard.

“Is there any difference?” He glanced at the guard.

“If it’s transient, pay 100,000 tolls and leave within a day. If it’s indefinite, prove that you have committed a crime. Your contract book must be in a state of chaos, too,” explained the guard expressionlessly.

“I’ll be transient then.”

He threw a warlord monster crystal nucleus to the guard.

It was the first time he had heard that proving he had committed a crime outside could let him enter a place. It was really a sin city, where all criminals abound.

Shaking his head lightly, he walked into the city.

There were too many lawless places like this. He could not manage it, nor did his strength allow him to.

Walking into the city in silence, he found that it was even more depraved than the gathering place he had encountered by the Blood Beach.

This was the sorrow of the world of high martial arts. The skyrocketing of personal force brought the infinite expansion of personal desires.

He found the largest spiritual plant shop and walked in.

“Sir, what do you want to buy?”

At the door, a girl in revealing clothes came and reached out to hug him.

“Don’t touch me; just stay beside me.”

He took a step away from her. In this shop, bunny girls would come to receive them as long as they came in, and the guests could treat the bunny girls as they pleased.

“Yes, if you don’t like it, I can change to someone else.” The bunny girl smiled.

“The things I want to buy are on this list. Go get them for me.” Su Bai shook his head and handed the girl a list.

“Sir, please wait a moment.” The bunny girl bowed and walked quickly over to the counter.

Soon, she took a list and said, “According to the list, all the spiritual plants add up to three hundred million; the odd ones are given to the shopkeeper.”

Nodding, Su Bai sold all the low-level spiritual plants he had collected on the road.

“Sir, everything is worth only one hundred million,” the bunny girl faltered and said.

She was afraid that he thought she was mocking him for being poor and would raise his hand to beat her.

She was an object for the shop to receive customers and had no human rights.

Without saying a word, Su Bai threw her another crystal nucleus and then turned to leave with the spiritual plants.

“Sir, thank you for your patronage.”

Although it was getting dark, Su Bai was not about to stay in this city. After observing for a while, he was afraid that he could not control himself and kill somebody, though he would not necessarily win against them.

At the city gate, a large golden eagle fell, and a man in his thirties climbed off its back.

He was pulling an iron chain in his hand, and at the other end of the chain was a dozen or so fourteen- to fifteen-year-old girls. The eyes of these girls were desperate and mixed with fear, and their faces were drained of blood. They walked numbly forward, led by the shouting man.

“It’s Mr. Jin. The quality of the goods caught this time is very high; they’re all so tender. I want to buy one and play with her; how much?”

The guard saw the middle-aged man and asked with a smile, obviously familiar with the person.

“This batch of goods isn’t for you. They’re specially selected for the City Lord; you also know his preference.

“Rest assured, though, I’ll get another batch soon.” The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled.

Su Bai, who was about to leave, suddenly turned around and looked at the middle-aged man blankly. “Do you know what day it is today?”

“What day?”

“Your doomsday!”
