Starting With Contract Pets

Chapter 335: Old Friend

“Impressive! You’ve actually become the curator.” Chen Ruoxue looked at Su Bai with a smile.

“Hehe! It’s an easy feat.” He grinned and shrugged casually.

“How arrogant.” She turned her head.

“I should congratulate you on becoming the curator’s wife, right?” He laughed.

“Okay, I won’t make fun of you anymore. Let’s go out to hunt monsters. Today, we’ll go to that space crack.” Chen Ruoxue glared at him and then gazed at the misty Sea Abyss in front.

“I’ll see how Planet Eye’s detection is; it’s hard to determine this stuff,” Su Bai spread his hands and explained.

“Speaking of which, I feel that 1314 has undergone many changes recently.” Chen Ruoxue glanced down at Planet Eye and had this feeling that its aura was becoming stronger and stronger.

“Of course, it’s not far from breaking through to the sovereign grade. After all, these days, it has been fusing the Tao seed of the Immortal Mantis. The fusion is almost complete, too.” Su Bai nodded.

In fact, both Mewling Fox and Planet Eye could soon reach the sovereign grade without external help. They all only needed to integrate the strength of their body to complete the promotion.

Little Tyrant and Starry Omnivore Kraken were at the lowest level at the moment.

Although the dino had fully absorbed the residual origin of its immortal girlfriend inside its body, it was only able to reach the middle-level emperor grade.

Pipi Kraken was only eating without growing and was still a middle-level emperor.

“It seems that it won’t be long before all your pets fully enter the sovereign grade!” Chen Rouxue exclaimed.

Gradually, she found that it was a little difficult for her to keep up with Su Bai. This guy always advanced so fast that it was really outrageous.

The current Sea Abyss was much more dangerous than before because the void monsters were completely unimpeded without the barriers and defenses of the Void Realm.

“The level of danger deeper in the space cracks will continue to rise, and it’s very likely that it’ll be infested with immortal monsters,” said Chen Ruoxue.

In fact, following the division of mankind, the barrier of the void world had been destroyed, along with the hope of humanity for victory.

Today, he was stopping at the Sea Abyss not to clear the surrounding monsters but to do other stuff, instead. The task of clearing the monsters was meaningless with the emergence of the three planets, Sirius, Hope, and Saint Star.

Therefore, why would it matter if the monsters in this abyss were all cleaned up?

Blue Planet was now teeming with monsters, and it was an apocalyptic situation.

This was not mentioning that the monsters here could not be cleared at all; humans had no means to kill them all at once, after all.

At the bottom of the Sea Abyss were already many immortal monsters.

Not only human beings had ideas about the Hidden Realm of the Lord of Infinite Matter; the void monsters had as well.

“It doesn’t matter; I just want to find an immortal monster and try battling it.”

Su Bai shrugged. After the elf had reached the sovereign grade, he had come to possess three sovereign combat abilities. All three’s attributes were very special and rare. He felt that he should not have a problem dealing with the immortal monsters.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you,” Chen Ruoxue nodded and acquiesced.

Planet Eye started an avatar search and found a suitable space crack in a short time.

“Come on. Let’s go in!”

After letting Planet Eye leave a few clones, Su Bai pointed to the entrance of the fishscale-like space crack in front of.

“This... is a broken continent; it feels a bit strange. Why don’t you look at the center of this continent?”

When she entered the space crack, Chen Ruoxue looked at the scene before her in surprise.

Su Bai squinted his eyes and said with a smile, “Our luck is really good. We’ve encountered an immortal monster upon entering this space crack!”

“Hiss~”

Just as his voice fell, a weird hiss came from the depths of this broken continent.

Unexpectedly, the mountains shook, the rivers turned upside down, and countless dust flew up In the dust, a black phantom flashed.

“It’s coming!”

The elf exclaimed and raised its hand, turning the emerald green staff into a bow.

It raised its hand to shoot an arrow, radiating a mysterious and unpredictable aura. It condensed a black arrow of bad luck.

With a whoosh, the Arrow of Destiny shot into the void of nothingness.

During its reversal, it turned into a special breath and disappeared.

It had hit the monster.

“Hasi, hasi!”

Time Ghost had a smile on its face all the time. It looked at the sky while dancing with both hands and said that the world had become a dark night.

The next moment, the light dissipated and darkness enveloped the world.

A dark figure then appeared in the space not far away, having been discovered.

“Roar!”

A dragon roar started.

This advancing snake-shaped immortal monster was suddenly stunned. Why was it rooted to the ground?

???

It then felt a fatal sense of weakness. The next moment, it found that its shadow had been divided into ten parts, and all of which were attacking and killing itself.

This immortal mysterious snake felt dazed, having not sensed an attack coming. What was the matter with itself?

Still, the snake did not have time to think about it at all. The power of immortal origin exploded from it, and the snake quickly broke free of the fixed body effect and even slapped its ten shadows to death.

“Roar!”

This was when it heard the dragon chant again.

It realized that the dragon chant was strange.

“Hiss!”

It uttered a threatening hiss at the Ancestor Blood Dragon. It thought, This d*mn curse probably won’t attack me again, will it?

The next moment, though, this immortal mysterious snake was stunned. ???

How did the dragon do this?

Having lived for tens of thousands of years, this was the first time it had encountered this situation.

Once again, it wanted to break free but suddenly found that it had accidentally caused internal injuries to itself. When it raised its arm to slap the shadows to death, it suddenly could not keep it intact. The arm had been broken off!

“Hiss...”

Just as it wanted to open its mouth and hiss, the snake unwillingly twisted its own tongue. With a snorting sound, bright red blood spurted out of its mouth and then half of its tongue was gone.

Immortal Black Snake: Σ(°△°|||)_

What had happened to it?

These were not anything major for it.

However, it hurt!

Glancing at the humans and pets in front, the snake felt an evil aura; the wind was even screaming!

It turned around and ran away!

With a crack, the snake ended up crying. It found that its neck had been twisted...

???

It was going crazy; the snake felt like it had been thrown into an illusion. The origin force in its body raged violently as it bled internally.

It managed to run away still as its immortal grade allowed it to heal fully, Thus, in the blink of an eye, it returned to its original state. However, new accidents continued to occur to it, which greatly affected the speed of its escape.

“Roar~”

Another dragon roar, accompanied by a dazzling Cross Blood, sounded.

The Ancestor Blood Dragon grew rapidly under the Time Acceleration of Time Ghost, and the terrifying Cross Blood Killing Mark between its raised claws was launched.

The Immortal Black Snake did not dare to yell for fear of getting hurt again, and it was too late to escape. It just wanted to raise its claws to launch an origin-backed attack to teach the little bug a lesson; alas, it found that the force of origin in its body was working wrong again.

“...”

F*ck! It was as if it had seen a ghost.

With a puff, the body of the Immortal Black Snake was cut into four parts. Blood stained the gray mist, and an earthy yellow Tao seed, as well as a group of golden immortal Tao blood exuding strong earth law fluctuations, landed on the ground.

The sun reappeared. Time Ghost ended Lights Off and the world was peaceful again.

Chen Ruoxue opened her mouth wide and did not know what to say for a while.

“Hehehe...”

Super Big Demon, which had been released by her, let out a difficult cry. Its eyes widened to the size of a fist. It had ended so soon?

It stared at Time Ghost, which had cooperated with Purple Jade. It was obviously a later addition than itself, but how could it work well with the elf?

“Hasi, hasi!”

Time Ghost noticed Super Big Demon and flew over to pat its hand in a friendly gesture.

Slap!

This demon slapped its hand away, turned its head around, and left in a huff. D*mn it! It had been first...

“You’re too shameless. This style of play is obviously suffocating and killing the immoral snake,” Chen Ruoxue came back to her senses and complained.

In the past, the elf’s consumption flow had been shameless enough, but compared with Su Bai’s current methods, it had been simply too benevolent.

Hypnotis, Toxic, Parasitic, and Ultimate Absorption skills were at least all about constant movement. As for this move, which was just a casual shot, it was simply too shameless.

“Am I bad?” Su Bai looked at her. “Don’t you like it?”

“Hmph~” She rolled her eyes.

“Hahaha! In fact, I’ve thrown my whole weight behind this fight, too,” he said.

The Goddess of Beauty, Time Ghost, and Ancestor Blood Dragon were low-level and mid-level sovereigns, so this was already the limit of his present combat might.

The only thing he had not used was his divine skills.

Although this immortal monster was relatively weak, his style of playing was indeed shameless.

In the first place, the elf’s Arrow of Destiny had greatly reduced the opponent’s winning rate. The dragon’s Dragon Curse skill, coupled with Time Ghost’s skills, were simply shameless moves.

“Ah Bai, I sensed people over there! Judging from the trajectory of fate, they have something to do with you,” Purple Jade suddenly pointed to a place in the mainland and said.

“Huh? There are people here who have something to do with me?”

Taken aback, he said curiously, “Okay, let’s go over and take a look!”

As soon as they entered, that immortal snake had discovered them and launched an attack without giving them a chance to investigate whether there was anyone there or not.

However, it did not matter, for he was not afraid of being exposed now.

In the corner of the broken continent, ten members of a hunting squad had fallen into a daze at this time.

They had originally come here to collect a kind of spiritual fruit, but the continent had suddenly cracked halfway through the road. The mountains and rivers had turned upside down, and an immortal monster with a body length of over three hundred kilometers had come out.

They had been scared to death and had already submitted to their fate. Faced with an immortal monster, they could be killed with a single move.

This was when an unforgettable scene occurred. From above, a figure raised their hand and waved it. First, a humanoid elf had magically shot an arrow, which they could not fathom; second, a black light wave radiated from a ghost, and the whole world instantly lost its lights.

From their perspective, the scariest thing was the last dragon. It was like pressing a remote control, as whenever it roared, the immortal snake would freeze and would be attacked by ten shadows. This kept repeating.

In the end, it released a skill to make the world lose its luster and directly divided the space to kill the immortal monster, which was invincible in their eyes.

The aftermath of the battle directly dissipated the mist covering hundreds of thousands of kilometers, and all the floating islands affected turned into fragments.

That was an immortal monster—a powerful monster that could destroy a piece of the world by itself. However, it had been killed so easily, so these ten people were stunned for a long time and could not react.

“That pet... seems to be the Ancestor Blood Dragon of Su Bai, the new curator of Yulong Gymnasium, right?” someone murmured.

“His pet is so powerful; he deserves to be the curator of a peak gym. It’s said that he’s the same age as us?”

Someone turned to look at his companion.

“Maybe he’s too dazzling. I’d rather not be in the same age group as him so that I could feel better and wouldn’t feel like I was living as a dog.” His companion spread their hands.

“Oh, no! We’ve been discovered!” At this time, Captain Zhong Chengtian’s voice sounded anxious. He was a little scared, afraid that he would be silenced because he and the others had seen Su Bai’s secret.

In this uninhabited place, no one would know if they died.

“Liu Weiwei, don’t just stand there in a daze! If I remember correctly, you have a Void Oath.

“Later, we must be humble and answer Senior Su’s questions. You take out the Void Oath, and we’ll take an oath before Senior Su. Let’s hope that he won’t kill us then,” Captain Zhong Chengtian looked at the woman and said quickly.

“I understand. Don’t worry, captain.” Liu Weiwei looked at the approaching figure in the sky and looked at Yang Zhou next to her. “It should be him, right?”

“Yes, it’s him.” Yang Zhou nodded and then he sighed again. “It’s just that I’m not sure if he recognizes us...”

Although they used to be good buddies with Su Bai, Yang Zhou had not actively contacted the man ever since he became higher and higher.

“Let’s pray that he does; I don’t think he’s that bad of a person!” Liu Weiwei shook her head.

Although she had not seen him in a few years, the feeling that her former classmate gave her was as elusive as the stars in the sky.

No, she could fly past the star in the sky with hard work, but this person gave her the feeling that she could not even get close to him and was too high to be touched.

“What are you two talking about? Are you in a daze? Don’t be so stunned; he’s already coming. Let’s lower our posture,” Captain Zhong Chengtian looked at the two people and warned them both. “I’m not targeting you. Powerful people like him are moody, and they aren’t restricted by the law. If you want to survive, lower your posture.”

“Captain, don’t worry; we understand,” Yang Zhou nodded and said, completely lowering his posture.

He was thinking*, Maybe if I had listened to Su Bai and tried to be more proactive back then, I could’ve remained as his friend.*

Now, we’re no longer in the same league. How can I, a mere tier 4 Pet Tamer, who has just reached the town hall level, be in the same league as a Tier 6 heavenly king, who kills immortal monsters casually?

“Okay, hurry up and greet him. He’s about to reach us.” Captain Zhong Chengtian arched his hand in the direction where Su Bai was. “Greetings, Senior Su! Thank you for killing the monster and saving us, Senior Su.”

“Greetings, Senior Su! Thank you for killing the monster and saving us!”

The others also bowed their heads and cupped their hands, not daring to meet the young man’s gaze directly.

“Yang Zhou, Liu Weiwei, it’s actually you two! This is really a coincidence. I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

Su Bai saw the two and his eyes lit up. He jumped down and patted the shoulders of the two of them. “What are you doing? You’re worshiping me as a senior, even though we’re of the same age? Am I that scary?”

“Haha... No, I’m just a little worried.”

Yang Zhou raised his head and looked at Su Bai with an awkward smile. Seeing him like this, he seemed to have thought too much?

“That’s right! Liu Weiwei, you don’t think of us as friends anymore? Do you think we would forget you and look down on you?”

Chen Ruoxue also came over and took Liu Weiwei’s hand, smiling kindly.

“We were thinking too much, Ruoxue. Don’t blame us. After all, you two have become so dazzling.” Liu Weiwei smiled bitterly.

“Okay, okay. Let me tell you: no matter how strong we get, we will always be former classmates and friends, so don’t think too much!” Su Bai waved his hand.

He actually understood the two of them. If one suddenly found that their high school classmate had become the president of a large company and was now worth billions, they would also inevitably be humble and polite in front of him.

It was not to earn points and curry favor, but fear that acting too familiar would breed unhappiness. After all, the identities were different.

“That’s right. Now, our homes are gone and we’re all without roots. It would be too much to live in this way.” Chen Ruoxue also smiled.

Seeing Su Bai talking and laughing with Liu Weiwei and Yang Zhou, the two’s teammates, who were still arching their hands and bending over, showed dumbfounded looks. Their jaws nearly dropped from this sight.

(?⊿?)ツ

How was this happening? Yang Zhou and Liu Weiwei actually knew Su Bai?

How come the two had never mentioned it?

“Yang Zhou, Chen Tinting, Senior Su used to be your classmate? Why haven’t you mentioned it before?”

Captain Zhong Chengtian turned his head and looked at the two with an incredulous look.

“Sorry, captain; it’s not that I didn’t say anything, but even if I did, who would believe me?” Yang Zhou smiled bitterly.

He wanted to say more but stopped himself. Even if others believed it, what if Su Bai felt that he had lowered his identity and refused to admit it? It would be for nothing in the end.

Thus, ever since he knew that Su Bai had become the chief disciple of Yulong Gymnasium, he had never mentioned it again. He just silently watched this former good friend climb up step by step.

“No need to be so polite and courteous with me. Don’t worry. I’m not a vicious person.”

Su Bai looked at the others, who were still bowing and cupping their hands in obeisance.

These people stood up in relief.

Although he did not deliberately do anything, the breath of life he exuded as a heavenly king-level Pet Tamer still put unintended pressure on them.

This was not mentioning the several sovereign pets floating beside him; their aura was even more terrifying.

This sort of thing was like a worm instinctively fearing a rooster; it was a sense of oppression brought about by different levels.

“Haha! Thank you, Senior Su. You chat with Senior Brother Yang, then. We’ll leave first,” Captain Zhong Chengtian looked at him and said tactfully.

“Okay, thank you.”

Su Bai nodded, very satisfied by the performance of this captain. It would not be very awkward to deal with this kind of person.
