Starting With Contract Pets Chapter 126 – Nine

As Elder Tong's small appraisal meeting ended, everyone took out some good treasures to be exchanged for.

Those who had identified the items shown correctly started picking their treasures in the room.

He alone could choose three treasures. The elderly man had not imagined that this would happen and felt quite at a loss.

“Elder Tong actually has the ultimate absorption skill. I've really struck gold.”

Su Bai found the ultimate absorption skill jade on a shelf.

This was exactly what he lacked. With this skill jade, the cub's tormenting skill by exhausting the opponent would basically be perfected.

With the ultimate absorption skill and the restoration of Thorns Domain, the cub would not need to be afraid of exhaustion. It could even exhaust and torment the opponent perfectly.

As for the second and third items, he did not choose skill jades anymore. He turned around and chose two flower-scented dairy cow eggs, which had been bred for many generations.

Ordinary flower-scented dairy cows were easy to find, but this kind of flower-scented dairy cow eggs, which had been cultivated by senior egg appraisers for several generations, was rare.

He could still mate them if he took a male and a female, which was equivalent to having a herd of flower-scented cows.

It was not that there was nothing else more expensive than the flower-scented dairy cow eggs, as there were, but the others could only be sold for money and were not particularly useful to him.

At the end of the small appraisal meeting, he took his three items back happily.

“Hello, my name is Luo Xia; I'm an intermediate egg appraiser. Nice to meet you! Can I add your WeChat account?”

Su Bai had just walked out of the room when the girl in men's clothing walked over and stopped him.

Seeing him hesitate a little, the girl quickly added. “Don't get me wrong; I just think that you're very knowledgeable and wanna make friends with you.”

He heaved a sigh of relief. “Then it's no problem.”

Luo Xia: “…”

What kind of expression was that?

After adding her WeChat, Su Bai turned around and was about to leave when the girl held him back again.

“What's the matter again?” He glanced at her.

“I want to mate with you,” said the girl.

Su Bai: ???

Were girls so straightforward these days?

“I mean I want to find your pet to mate a breed. According to my observations, your pet isn't ordinary. If you want, I can pay a certain price in exchange.

“But I don't mind if the two of us breed, too.”

Luo Xia explained with a smile.

Su Bai: “…”

Are egg appraisals all such lunatics?

“Howl! (▼皿▼#)”

Do you want to die?

Purple Jade howled angrily, ready to bite the girl at any moment.

“Don't get me wrong, lassie. Breeding is a wonderful thing; I believe that you'll like it.” Luo Xia merely laughed.

“Howl! (`⌒ ́メ)”

Get lost!

The cub bared its fangs.

“Impossible. Give up.” Su Bai said simply and walked away quickly with his pet.

“What? I'm only asking for you to breed, not for your life. It's a pity that such a pet with excellent genes is wasted.”

The girl shook her head helplessly as he left.

Even after leaving, the cub was still in a state of fury and anger. D*mn it! Don't pets deserve love?

Could pets be bred at will? Purple Jade almost trembled with rage. When could pets stand up for themselves?

Upon hearing the cub's thoughts, Su Bai knelt and caressed it in amusement. “Don't be angry; it's alright. I rejected her, right? That's your freedom; I definitely won't interfere.

“I'll make it up to you when we return.”

“Howl! ( ̄へ ̄)”

I'm furious. That woman is too hateful!

The cub's mood improved a bit, but it was still upset.

Not long after, Hou Lan caught up with him and patted his shoulder. “I've underestimated you. You're truly deserving of being Elder Gao's apprentice. You're too strong.”

“No, no, it's mainly a coincidence. I'm very interested in such kinds of weird things, so I studied those rather extensively.”

He waved his hand and asked, “What treasure did you choose?”

“Oh, I chose the seed of a Shuttling Time Lotus Flower. It's a very peculiar lotus flower which changes according to the period of day due to its weak sense of time,” explained Hou Lan, proceeding to take it out.

“Oh, it's pretty good. I took two floral-scented dairy cow eggs and a skill jade.”

He lifted two pet eggs, which were more than thirty centimeters in size.

“You chose good stuff, too. These should be flower-scented cow eggs that have been cultivated for more than thirty generations. They can't be purchased with money under normal circumstances.

“Plus, if you specifically pick expensive stuff, other people will look down on you, and you'll leave a bad impression on Elder Tong, too.”

Hou Lan nodded in approval.

In fact, a pet egg that could be collected by a senior egg appraiser like Elder Tong could not possibly be bad.

“Don't be too surprised when you see the magic of this place tomorrow.”

When they returned to their temporary lodgings, Hou Lan said with a smile.

“Tomorrow? Then I'll wait and see.”

Su Bai was a little excited, feeling that this place definitely held a lot of secrets.

The next day, he woke up early and walked outside. Although this place was small, the environment was very good.

Of course, his main purpose was to investigate the living environment of those flower-scented dairy cows.

He brought along the Little White Fox as well to feel the uniqueness of this place.

“Hing!”

Ah Bai, can we go over there?

It pointed to a bell tower deep in the grassland.

“Not for now. Maybe there's a chance that we can go there after lunch.”

Hou Lan had mentioned heading there.

Soon, someone brought breakfast over. After resting for a while, Hou Lan came over to find him.

“It's time to gather over at Elder Tong's,” he said.

“Let's go, then. I was just about to find you.” Su Bai nodded.

“We may get a little busy today;you still have to help me out later.” The other led the way.

“No problem. You can order me at will.”

“Thank you.”

Soon, they arrived at the meeting point, where more than half of the people were already there.

“This is your first time here, right? I think that you have the potential to reach the altar over there alone.”

Luo Xia looked at him.

“You're joking. That place has nothing to do with being knowledgeable or not. What it tests is willpower. We even have to rely on special methods to get there, so what more of him?”

The blond youth shook his head.

“Su Bai, you can give it a try, but don't listen to Luo Xia. We've all suffered before.”

Another girl wearing glasses shook her head.

Today, Su Bai was not as completely transparent as yesterday. Instead, everyone greeted and chatted very enthusiastically with him.

His amazing performance last night allowed them to recognize his strength.

“What kind of altar is it? I don't know about it yet.” He looked dumbfounded.

“Haha! It seems like Hou Lan hasn't told you yet, but it doesn't matter as you'll know soon enough.” Luo Xia glanced at Hou Lan and giggled.

“Yes. After all, we know that Hou Lan is a person of integrity.”

As they chatted, the other people also arrived at the rendezvous point.

“Okay. Now that everyone is here, let's go.”

Elder Tong nodded and made the final say.

A bird cawed and a huge white crane soon flew over from a distance.

The old man took the lead and the rest followed closely.

The white crane rose above and headed toward the bell tower that Su Bai had seen in the morning.

Because this was related to the fantasy attribute, he brought along the Mewling Fox while the cub remained in his contract book

“Hing!”

Ah Bai, I'm now certain that a powerful fantasy predecessor died in this place. All the power of dreams is surging from there.

“I see.”

Su Bai nodded slightly as he talked telepathically to his pet.

After a while, the group landed in front of the bell tower.

Elder Tong's long white hair and beard blew in the wind as he walked forward to open the gates.

The gates looked very shabby, full of scratches and stains. They were gray-white all over, seemingly having been there for a long time.

“Hold this. You can experience the feeling of fantasy with it. It has a strong dream-inducing power which will draw out the deepest desires in your heart to form a corresponding fantasy.”

Hou Lan handed Su Bai a diamond-like transparent crystal.

“You can also try to loosen the small stone; it feels very good.” Luo Xia smiled slyly.

Su Bai looked at the stone in his hand. It was a meditation stone, which had the effect of preventing the illusion from affecting him.

The gates of the clock tower opened with creaking sounds, and everyone squeezed the meditation stone in their hands.

“Hing.”

Ah Bai, the dream-inducing power is extremely powerful here. It seems to be mixed with a higher-level power.

As a fantasy pet, the Thousand-face Fox immediately felt the changes in the place.

The boy remained silent as he followed the others.

They entered through the gates and he tried to loosen the meditation stone in his hand. A special force invaded his meridians, but a bloody shield rose from within afterward. Finally, a Dragon Soul appeared on the shield.

This was the bond skill of him and the Little Blood Dragon. With this skill, the rich fantasy-inducing power could not invade his thoughts in the slightest bit.

Su Bai thought for a while and actively controlled the Dragon Soul skill to release a gap, allowing a part of the dream-inducing power to enter his sea of consciousness.

Then he felt the sensation of the world spinning. When his consciousness became clear again, he was already on a high mountain, where the top could not be seen.

His body was no longer within his control, and he climbed the high mountain with difficulty.

He climbed and climbed, year after year, day after day, but still could not see the top of the mountain.

Although he could not control his body, all the feelings of his body were transmitted to his soul.

“I see. It's rather interesting.”

Soon, he understood that this illusion was about his desire. He was about to continue experiencing it when a special force directly hit his soul and caused all the dream-inducing power to disappear.

“How was it? Wasn't the dream-inducing power terrifying? Aren't you grateful that I saved you?”

Luo Xia grinned at him. “Come and tell me what desire was aroused?”

Su Bai looked at the meditation skill in his hand. Luo Xia saw that he was trapped in a fantasy and helped him hold the meditation stone tightly to interrupt the fantasy.

“This is for you; I don't need it.”

He threw the meditation stone back at the girl, smiling slightly.

Luo Xia: (゚⊿゚)ツ

Her eyes widened. She could not figure out how he had done it. Had he not just been dragged into a fantasy world moments ago? How was he able to throw the meditation stone away?

Elder Tong turned around in surprise. “Is it a skill of a royal Pet Tamer or a high-level treasure? It seems that Su Bai's master is really an exceptional expert.”

The others were also shocked that he actually did not need to use a meditation stone.

“No, no, it's just that I don't have desires or demands. I feel like this fantasy isn't strong enough. If you don't believe me, try it; it doesn't feel powerful at all.”

Su Bai shook his head.

The others: “…”

B*llsh*t.

After walking for some distance, Luo Xia could not help but ask upon seeing how unaffected he was, “How did you do it? Is there any treasure on you? Show me.”

“There's really nothing. I merely relied on my will to resist it. Why don't you try it out if you don't believe me?”

He shrugged.

“B*llsh*t.”

Luo Xia glanced sideways at him and looked away quietly.

Soon, they entered a tunnel and came into a huge underground laboratory.

In the center of this laboratory was a peculiar altar. On the altar was a statue of a humanoid monster with only the upper body. Its face was beautiful and exuded a sacred aura, while its sharp ears were elf-like and its eyes were fiery red.

Its chest was carved with various crystals, ores, and gems.

The humanoid monster was surrounded by a mass of flames as it stood high on the altar, a peculiar force circulating around her.

In front of the altar, a huge Nine-tailed Fox, about five or six meters long, was kneeling on the ground. It was clearly only left with a skeleton and skin, but its body still exuded endless dream power.

Su Bai stared at the statue, and a line of words appeared in his eyes. [Representation of absolute miracle. The statue of the Eternally Miraculous Beauty is known as one of the creation-level pets. It contains some miraculous powers. This shows that the Eternally Miraculous Beauty's body has really come to this altar.]

He was shocked to see the altar of the Eternally Miraculous Beauty here. It was too terrifying.

At this point, he quickly glanced at the Nine-tailed Fox's information.

[Name Race]: Nine-tailed Magic Fox Spirit

[Sex]: Female

[Level]: High-level emperor

[Attribute]: Spirit attribute

[Features Passive]: Dreamy Heart (Passive. As long as the Nine-tailed Magic Fox hits its opponent with a fantasy attack, the latter will inevitably sink into a fantasy.)

[Skill]: …

[Restrained]: Ghost attribute

[Weakness]: …

[Evolution direction]: There's no direction to evolve; it has reached the top level.

[Introduction]: This was a Nine-tailed Magic Fox that had reached the peak. The illusion it could display had almost reached a realm that was indistinguishable from reality, but that didn't satisfy it. It wanted to pursue the pinnacle of the fantasy law, the Reality of Dreams. It wanted its illusions to become real.

In order to realize this wish, it sought the Eternally Miraculous Beauty and made a wish. Its dream came true, but it also lost the most important thing, which was its life.

However, it condensed its dream power before death and created a resurrection illusion for itself with the power of the Reality of Dreams.

This illusion needs to be filled with enough dream power before it can become real and be brought back to life…
