Starting With Contract Pets

“Hey, there’s a Dream Come True Fruit there. Under normal circumstances, there should be a superpower attribute Hundred Eyes Guardian guarding it. That monster is difficult to deal with.” After walking for a while, the young man pointed to a cliff in the distance and spoke.

Su Bai looked in that direction and saw a pale red spiritual grass with two pink fruits on it, which looked unusually eye-catching in the dark.

“Do you not want it?” he asked curiously. These three people were quite abnormal. They said that they had come to find treasures to make money, but after two hours, they had only picked three dark attribute spiritual plants and given the rest to them.

Even if it was a test of strength, they did not have to do this, right?

However, he still could not refuse, for he needed all these spiritual fruits.

“We will give this one to you first. Our destination is further up, but we need the five of us to work together in order to pass. These spiritual plants are all considered rewards to you.” The young man smiled.

“It needs five people to work together to pass through? Is there a monarch monster inside?” he asked.

The young man shook his head. “Of course not. We would’ve not come in the first place if there were a monarch monster. There are two peak high-level commanders there; we only have to resist their attacks. They won’t chase us after we leave their range.”

“I see. Don’t worry; we will definitely try our best.”

Su Bai nodded. He glanced at the cub and motioned for it to pick the Dream Come True Fruit.

“Howl!”

Purple Jade nodded and took two steps forward to pick the Dream Come True Fruit with its Vine Whip. At this moment, a tadpole with wings suddenly appeared. Other than its tail, it had a huge head as big as a round dining table.

The most terrifying thing was the hundred black eyes on the monster’s head; it was so densely packed that their trypophobia was triggered.

The moment it appeared, it launched an attack and continuously fired rays with its hundreds of eyes to block the cub’s escape.

However, the cub had no need to escape. Its spiritual power exploded and a wide Thorns Domain unfolded. It quickly formed a shield made with vines and blocked the series of attacks.

Without hesitation, it launched a Grass Sword Storm attack, condensing leaves and branches to form a sword that directly flew towards the hundred eyes. Against this attack, the hundred eyes exuded a black stream of light which transformed into a transparent surface, weakening the attack of the Grass Sword Storm. Purple Jade did not care, though. It refused to believe in a wall that could not be broken, and anyway, it could quickly recover its spiritual power as it exhausted the opponent’s.

It was at this moment that the young man’s Six-toothed Dark Mammoth summoned a black waterfall that directly hit the monster’s body, instantly blasting off half of its body.

The severely injured monster’s figure flashed before it raced off into the darkness.

“Thank you.”

Su Bai thanked the young man. In fact, Chen Ruoxue was just about to make a move.

“It’s nothing. We don’t have to waste time on one-on-one battles with these monsters.”

The young man shook his head and continued moving forward.

Su Bai took the Dream Come True Fruit from the cub and followed the three people.

Along the way, they picked up more than a dozen Dream Come True Fruits but still could not find a Ghost Spirit Fruit, a Dragon Soul Fruit, or a Demon Fruit. Chen Ruoxue felt rather depressed, desperate for these two items.

As they progressed, they soon came to a very peculiar place. A thick scarlet mist appeared in front of them, and the faint smell of pungent blood wafted.

“What is this? Why isn’t it stated in the information?” asked Su Bai curiously. There had been no description of this blood mist in the introduction about the Sleeping Dragon Abyss.

“This is this place’s core. After the layer of blood mist, we’ll reach the real tomb of the Sleeping Dragon. The treasures there are incomparable to the normal goods outside.

“Most people can’t even find this place, so it’s only normal for them not to include information about it.

“As for this bloody mist, it is said to be formed by the evaporation of the Sleeping Dragon’s blood. No one knows the specific details, but it is certain that many blood monsters are inside. It is difficult for a Pet Tamer without a monarch pet to pass through, which is why we formed a team to go in.” The young man explained.

“Don’t worry, though. It’s easy for the five of us to pass together. This scarlet mist is not endless.” The young woman also chimed in.

“Can’t you use the concealment skill to sneak in?” asked Chen Ruoxue.

“We would use it already if it could work, but it’s useless,” replied the young man with a shrug.

“Alright, let’s go.”

Nodding, Su Bai activated his Internal Breath to avoid sucking in the bloody mist.

The five adjusted their positions and entered the scarlet mist in a fan-shaped formation.

Inside the fog, their line of sight was somewhat obstructed. The Night Vision skill enabled them to see clearly in the dark, but it still could not penetrate the fog.

When they first entered, there was no movement, but after walking five to six hundred meters, many blood-colored figures appeared in the fog.

These things looked like giant dragons, inducing a deep sense of fear in them.

“What is that?” asked Su Bai in a deep voice. If there were so many dragons, he would turn around and leave without hesitation.

“Blood Dragon Bats with a bit of dragon bloodline. They’re nowhere near a Blood Dragon; don’t be scared of it,” replied the young man.

As soon as his voice fell, a sharp screech came from the scarlet mist, and a large group of Blood Dragon Bats charged from all directions. They had sharp pointed claws and ferocious fangs and even squirted blood-red balls of light as they approached.

“I’ll leave the strong ones to you.” Su Bai glanced at Chen Ruoxue.

“Okay.”

Chen Rouxue nodded.

The cub unfolded its Thorns Domain and directly launched a Grass Sword Storm, not giving these bats a chance to get close.

Ever since it acquired the domain control of wood, its skill understanding had once again reached a higher level. Its Grass Sword Storm was made of highly poisonous thorns which would not only have a strong physical attack upon hitting the opponent but would also be highly poisonous.

Moreover, if these thorns pierced the opponent’s body, the cub could use them as seeds to activate its Parasitic skill.

After comprehending the wood control and evolving into a Sanctuary Wood Spirit, the cub’s parasitic seeds no longer needed anything. As long as a broken leaf fell on the opponent, the cub could use it as a seed to take roots and sprout, draining the opponent of its spiritual power and life.

This came from its absolute mastery of wood control.

The Blood Dragon Bats, which rushed over incessantly, were shot down in the Grass Sword Storm, covering the ground with its corpses.

It then released parasitic seeds. The injured bats were all absorbed by the dense thorns that grew out of their bodies to dry their spiritual powers and lives.

The drained lives and spiritual power were finally absorbed by the cub and turned into its own, causing the battle state to become better.

As for the Blood Curse formed after their death, Su Bai did not need his pet dragon swallow it, for the bats had swallowed it themselves.

The cub was the most confident with such a group battle tactic. At the side, Chen Ruoxue commanded Big Demon to kill some of the leftover bats, which made their defense extremely solid and impenetrable.

The reason why they had been suppressed and beaten by others was not only the opponent being too many levels higher than the cub but also the opponent restraining it as a target.

The two’s performances shocked the other three. They had struggled to deal with these bats, but the couple had dealt with them so easily.

“How long will this scarlet mist last? We’ve been walking for half an hour, right?” Su Bai asked.

“Don’t worry; the real highlight has yet to come. The two of you, play slowly; we’ll go first.”

The young man threw a few blood-red fruits with a laugh and slid on his pet.

They rode their pets, tore a hole, and glided away. These bats were all attracted by the blood-colored fruits they threw and only a few went to chase them.

“I forgot to tell you that, although the Dream Soul Flower and Dream Come True Fruit are easy to pick, as long as you touch either, you won’t be able to escape this blood mist. I hope that you will kill all the monsters as soon as possible.”

From a distance, the young woman’s gleeful laughter came.

“I knew they harbor ill intentions, but I didn’t expect them to drop the gun so soon.”

Su Bai shrugged.

For some reason, the scarlet mist actually reacted with the breath of the Dream Soul Flower and the Dream Come True Fruit, which directly made them the prey of the Blood Dragon Bats.

At first, he had not noticed this because the three people were also being besieged by the bats, but in fact, they had only been attacked because they were staying in proximity to them.

“Who would’ve thought that the Dream Soul Flower would react with this scarlet mist? These are genuine spiritual plants; we couldn’t have left them behind.

“We lost in our ignorance and lack of knowledge. We shouldn’t have touched the Dream Soul Flower with our hands. Next time we encounter a spiritual plant, even if it’s not poisonous, we won’t touch it ourselves.” Chen Ruoxue gritted her teeth and said this.

It did not matter whether they isolated themselves with a shield or activated the concealment skill, the Blood Dragon Bats could still find them.

As the bloody aura here became stronger and stronger, flesh balls composed of muscles and blood vessels appeared nearby. These flesh balls could actually become stronger by swallowing these dead bats, so their breaths became more and more terrifying.

The cub’s wooden shield could not withstand their blood-colored beams, and it could only evade them with the Wood Spirit Replacement.

“There are actually Flesh Devourers here. That’s great! Now, we are going to die here. Let’s hug each other to death later so that I won’t be afraid,” said Chen Ruoxue hopelessly.

They had once seen a Flesh Devourer in the real space crack guarded by Su Bai’s master.

In that nebula, they saw a planet-size Flesh Devourer, and it exuded a terrifying aura. Wherever the two went, whether they were alive or dead, all flesh and blood life would be absorbed by it and transformed into a part of its body.

The most frightening thing was that it could also use the existing skills that it swallowed.

More and more Flesh Devourers gathered, and the aura became more and more terrifying, such that Chen Ruoxue was hopeless.

“Don’t be afraid; this isn’t a complete Flesh Devourer. It’s not so scary.”

Su Bai patted his girlfriend’s shoulder comfortingly.

It was impossible for complete Flesh Devourers to live in groups. These could only be regarded as fake and inferior products, but even then they were still very powerful.

Su Bai was not afraid of them because of his blood pet.

“Little Dragon, come out!”

Su Bai flicked his wrist and spoke solemnly.

“Roar!”

His pet let out a low roar and flew out from his wrist. It turned into a hundred-meter dragon and unleashed a Sea of Blood of three hundred meters in diameter.

The Blood Dragon flicked its tail, spraying the bats and the devourers of flesh and blood with its First Dragon Blood.

The power of the First Dragon Blood instantly made the aura of these bats and Flesh Devourers soar.

Some Blood Dragon Bats suddenly grew dragon horns, and some grew additional heads.

The Flesh Devourers’ aura also soared as they evolved various abilities, with some even directly advancing.

However, even though they became more terrifying, they still stopped attacking Su Bai and the others. Instead, they looked at their same kind and started fighting and swallowing one another, especially the Flesh Devourers.

“This is where my pet is strongest. It can turn enemies into friends.” Su Bai laughed.

After being infected by the First Dragon Blood, they could not attack the dragon even if it could not control their will and actions.

In other words, the dragon had mobilized its First Dragon Blood to turn them into its descendants, so the grandsons naturally did not dare to make trouble in front of their ancestors.

“Roar!” Ah Bai, I will protect you!

The dragon guarded him as it sprayed the bats and devourers of flesh and blood, which rushed over, with its First Dragon Blood.

Although the First Dragon Blood consumed its origin and spiritual power, as long as it recovered the blood power and collected the lives of these bats and devourers, its origin and spiritual power would skyrocket instead of decreasing.

“How is it? Is your husband strong?” Su Bai chuckled.

“I don’t have a husband.” Chen Ruoxue snorted, but she was actually shocked.

Boyfriend’s pet dragon is too abnormal. 

In fact, this was also why Su Bai had chosen to come to the Scarlet Wilderness. This place was full of blood monsters, and his pet dragon was like a fish in water here, which could solve many problems.

“Let’s get ready to go out. We’ll catch up with those three people and kill them directly,” Chen Ruoxue said again.

“Don’t worry; there should be no or only very few monarch-level blood monsters here. We can leave without hurrying.”

Su Bai shook his head.

This Scarlet Wilderness had a strange rule. It was difficult for blood monsters to break through to the monarch level. To reach the monarch level, they must endure a bloody defeat.

Generally, very few bloodline monsters could resist being defeated without dying, so he was not worried that there would be many monarch monsters around.

In fact, he reckoned that there would be none here. If there were, these Flesh Devourers would have died long ago.

He was going to let his pet dragon infect all the devourers here.

He now had a bigger plan after seeing them, and it could be said to be a bold plan.
