Starting With Contract Pets Chapter 94

“Guo Dong is a worthy opponent; Shi Lei is just repulsive!”

Su Bai whispered to his girlfriend.

“So now you're evaluating how worthy they are?” Chen Rouxue rolled her eyes and then laughed. “What about me? Am I worthy of being your opponent?”

“Hmm… You're a little rich lady; I'm still waiting for you to provide for me.” He chuckled.

“Hmph! I won't feed you even though I'm rich.” The girl tut-tutted. “I saw that you have plenty of things packed in your backpack; are you going to the Scarlet Monster Wilderness again this afternoon?”

“Yes, I wanna go in again!” Su Bai nodded.

“Can't you wait for me? I'll get worried if you go alone.”

She grabbed his hand and spoke coquettishly.

“Don't worry; I'll just wander around in front of the spatial door and won't go far.”

Her coquettish act made him a little overwhelmed, but he still decided to go in and explore the special wilderness again.

Chen Ruoxue glared at the boy, took her hand back, and said nothing.

A little awkward, Su Bai turned to watch the match in the field.

There was only the last player with a high-level servant left on Maple Leaf Town's side. This girl had a wood pet, the Fairy Butterfly.

This girl originally planned to play against Shi Lei, but the latter was too lackluster, so she did not go up in the end.

“Begin fight!” announced the host.

“Fairy Butterfly, use Superb Speed and fly over to launch Hypnotic Powder!”

The girl still gave the order despite knowing that it was difficult to win.

This Fairy Butterfly was a large butterfly about twenty centimeters long. There was a fairy pattern on its moon-white wings, hence giving it that name.

Following the girl's order, the Fairy Butterfly glowed with green light, then its speed suddenly increased as it flew toward the Lava Dog.

“Lava Dog, use Quicksand Gunfire!”

As the Lava Dog's fire spiritual power exploded, countless sand and gravel attached to it, which then scattered in the sky. This attack power was not high, but the attack range was large. Also, it was specially used to deal with pets in the sky.

Before the Fairy Butterfly could approach, its wings were hit by fire quicksand. Because of the restraint, it suffered serious injuries all at once.

“Retreat!” The girl quickly called back her pet in distress. She did not expect Guo Dong to have the skills to deal with flying pets.

“Fairy Butterfly, use Corrosive Energy Ball!”

After her order, green light flew which slowly formed into a green energy ball.

On the other side, the Lava Dog had already condensed a huge Lava Fireball.

Soon, because of how seriously restrained the Fairy Butterfly was, it was ultimately defeated. In addition, the pet was unable to restore its spiritual energy so it could not continue fighting.

“Carp Town wins! Please send the next player to attack!”

“You have no spiritual power left. Go down,” said Tian Ge, the deputy captain of Maple Leaf Town.

His pet was an earth attribute Crystal Shooting Turtle. It looked like a crystal turtle but had a rough muzzle resembling a rocket launcher on its back.

“Lava Dog, rush up and use Bite!”

Guo Dong shouted loudly without fear.

The other party was right; the Lava Dog had no spiritual power left, but it still had its melee attacks.

“Little Turtle, use Machine Gun to shoot it down!” Tian Ge sneered.

The muzzle on the back of the turtle squirted energy cannonballs, frantically like a gatling gun. The Lava Dog ran wildly and was directly blown away.

“Maple Leaf Town wins! Please send the next attacker.”

Wang Er looked at the opponent's Crystal Shooting Turtle and brought up its Electric Python.

The moment the game started, Tian Ge did not hesitate to order his pet to launch Machine Gun, frantically having it shoot around as the turtle focused on its fire restraint.

“Ejection, Phantom!” Wang Er sneered.

The Electric Python in the arena moved quickly by ejection, and at the same time, each ejection transformed into a real phantom transmogrification. This caused the opponent to be unable to tell which was the main body.

The turtle was a relatively rare and powerful pet, with the advantages of a large reserve of spiritual power, mighty offense, and high defense.

However, its corresponding shortcomings were also obvious. It was slow and had a low IQ. It could not learn detection skills and could only attack according to the command of its Pet Tamer.

Thus, for a while, it could not tell which was the main body of the Electric Python.

As the Electric Python came closer and closer, Tian Ge could only stop the Crystal Shooting Turtle from attacking and, instead, use a defensive skill called Stone Shell to cover itself with a layer of khaki energy shield.

“Imperial Tooth!”

The Electric Python catapulted and exploded with terrifying spiritual power. A huge phantom of a dragon head solidified and bit the Crystal Shooting Turtle.

This was when Tian Ge showed a sly smile. Wang Er frowned, but it was too late to stop his pet.

“Hiss!”

The huge dragon tooth smashed to the turtle's shell and successfully pierced it to bite its opponent's body.

However, precisely because of this that broken shell debris hit the Electric Python, causing negligible injury to it. The shell suddenly dried up like concrete and hardened around its body.

“Crystal Shooting Turtle, shoot with more power!”

Tian Ge yelled. Needless to say, the turtle launched an attack. A series of violent energy balls shot out from the muzzle on its back, all banging on the Electric Python.

“Maple Leaf Town wins! Please invite the next attacker.”

Seriously injured, the large Electric Python collapsed and was carried down. The auditorium also cheered for the sneaky attack. Who would have thought that the skill, which seemed to be used for defense, was actually a control skill? Most people would be ruined if they encountered it.

“Very good!” Wang Er walked down with a cold face but had nothing to say because he had fallen into a sneak attack.

“I lost. I don't need to receive the sponsorship fee for the advertisement.” Wang Er returned to the rest area and told the team captain.

“It's okay; I don't blame you. I'll give you your share.” Su Bai shook his head.

In fact, he had already seen the skill through the Pet Tamer interface, but it was something the opponent rarely used, so it would be difficult to explain how he knew about it. Anyway, even if Wang Er lost, he and Chen Ruoxue could clean up the scene.

“Yeah, we don't blame you. White Stone Town, who previously played against Maple Leaf Town, was so bad that they didn't let them do their best. Moreover, your Electric Python is only a high-level servant, so it's done a good job already.” Chen Bo nodded comfortingly.

Wang Er remained silent and sat there in deep thought.

“Will you go next?” Su Bai looked at his girlfriend.

“I'll go; you can just watch today.” Chen Ruoxue glanced at him and led her pet up.

She had never played before. With her good looks and her relatively rare ghost pet, she immediately garnered cheers as soon as she came onstage.

“Start!”

Tian Ge looked at her and said with a sneer, “I won't be merciful to girls, so give up! Crystal Shooting Turtle, Machine Gun!”

“Xiao Bai, use Hypnosis!” Chen Ruoxue did not even bother about him, as she was not in a good mood now.

“Hehehe!”

Big Demon laughed wildly, its body slowly getting bigger, then waves of special power fluctuated.

Having been promoted to the warlord level, it could launch Hypnosis even if it stood at a far distance.

Bang bang bang! A series of energy bullets passed through its body, but the damage to it was very negligible.

After a few seconds, the court was quiet. The Crystal Shooting Turtle was hypnotized and had fallen asleep.

“Shadow Energy Ball, give me a big one!” she said, indifferent.

“Hehehe!”

Xiaobai turned into a solid body. A ghostly energy ball slowly appeared between the kneading of its two small black claws which gradually increased from the size of a fist to a thirty-centimeter diameter.

Tian Ge tried to wake up his pet but to no avail. A low IQ often meant that it was more likely to be hypnotized.

In desperation, he quickly shouted, “I surrender!”

His pet was doomed, so he chose not to hurt it.

“Xiao Bai, withdraw!” exclaimed Chen Rouxue.

“Hehe! (✪ω✪)”

Big Demon opened its blood basin of a mouth and ate its condensed energy ball in one mouthful. This acrobatic performance surprised the audience and they cheered loudly.

The last player of Maple Leaf Town was also their captain. His pet was a Single-horned Fire Python of the fire attribute.

The captain took the lead in the fight. “Single-horned Fire Python, use Fireball Bombs!”

Hissing, his pet launched solid fireballs which flew toward Big Demon.

“Xiao Bai, Hidden Shadow, Scary Ghost Shadow, Ghost Claw.” Chen Ruoxue rattled off without any expression.

The bombs of fire were about to hit her pet when it suddenly turned into a black shadow and disappeared.

When it appeared again, it was already in the Single-horned Fire Python's shadows. A Scary Ghost Shadow appeared from the shadows, and the unsuspecting opponent got directly hit and was plunged into a chaotic state by it.

Immediately afterward, a huge black claw severely wounded the Single-horned Fire Python.

“Carp Town wins and advances to the finals.” The host was stunned for a moment before announcing.

The audience was also dumbfounded; it ended so soon?

This sister was too strong.

“Do you know why he's so weak? Because he didn't eat the green plum energy medicine cakes.”

Chen Ruoxue advertised with a cold face.

However, the effect was better than she thought mainly because she was a girl.

“Amazing! She defeated the enemy in seconds; I'm a fan.”

“For this sister, I will buy that energy medicine cake.”

“Sure enough, the strong are cold and aloof.”

…

The final advancement was a little surprising. Maple Leaf Town obviously had two players at the warlord level, but they were cleaned up by Carp Town, and Su Bai did not even need to come out.

Next came the second match in the morning. Hexi Town, who failed yesterday, and Maple Leaf Town, who failed earlier, competed for third place.

In the afternoon was the finals of the five towns' spring festival contest, with Carp Town playing against Big River Town.

Chen Ruoxue returned to the rest area expressionlessly, only to find that her boyfriend was no longer in his seat. She turned to look at Chen Bo. “Where is Su Bai?”

“He said that his stomach hurts and went to the bathroom,” responded the man. This girl's strength had given him hope of winning the championship.

Nodding, Chen Rouxue sat back in her seat and took out her phone to see her boyfriend's message. “I'm off to the Scarlet Monster Wilderness to have a look. Don't worry; I'll be fine.”

She turned off the phone, leaned back in the chair, and squinted for a while without speaking.

Ten minutes later, she also walked out because of a ‘stomachache'.

…

On the other side, in the Scarlet Monster Wilderness.

In a vast and desolate wasteland, a huge fireball with a five- or six-meter radius exploded. The wood attribute Thorn monster twisted its body in the flame and gradually lost its life.

“Roar! (▼皿▼#)”

The Little Tyrant stretched out its claws to draw back the flames, which gradually turned into a small fireball before finally disappearing.

After killing the Thorn, Su Bai came over to dig its crystal nucleus and kept it. This was a very good wood material.

“Howl!” The cub dug out five or six golden ores with its vine whip from where the Thorn used to grow.

“Sure enough, there's golden soil where it grows.” He smiled and gave one to the Little Tyrant as a ration before keeping the rest.

Golden soil was a special type of soil that was relatively scarce. It was most suitable for cultivating spiritual plants and could be sold for 10,000 yuan per pound on the market.

The Little Tyrant chewed the golden soil in a few mouthfuls and swallowed it. Suddenly, a vortex of spiritual power erupted from its body before slowly disappearing.

Su Bai turned his head to look at it. “You just broke through like this?”

Little Tyrant: “⊙(・◇・)?”

Were there supposed to be other steps?

“It's okay; it's a good thing to break through.” He waved his hand slightly speechlessly. It was a blessing to be able to eat well. It could even break through after eating dirt.

“Let's move.”

Su Bai looked at a pale red mountain in the distance and spoke. It was the highest place nearby and also his destination. He wanted to stand on the mountain peak to see the surroundings.

As he explored, he gradually discovered this place's uniqueness. There were many blood pets and plants here.

“Hiss!”

After walking a few steps, a blood snake suddenly leaped out of the grass by the roadside to bite the Little Tyrant.

The Little Tyrant showed a trace of disdain in its fierce small eyes and raised its claws to grab the neck of the blood snake that had leaped out. How dare you act out of line in front of me?

“Stun it and let's go,” said Su Bai. This snake was a blood pet and could not be killed. Even though his pet had an undead attribute, it was too troublesome to kill this one.

“Roar~”

The Little Tyrant stunned the snake and threw it into a nearby spiderweb. Although it could not directly kill the snake, it could still get someone else to do the dirty work.

A slender black spider ran out instantly, killing the blood snake in one bite.

The now dead Flame Snake turned into a cloud of blood which merged into the black spider.

Bleeding light broke out on the black spider, and it instantly evolved to possess a pair of blood-colored wings and two pairs of sharp mouthparts. Its aura also broke through from a lower-level to a mid-level servant.

Tui!

The black spider flew up straight to Su Bai's side, spitting out a mouthful of acid.

Without waiting for him to give an order, the cub first activated Vine Shield to resist the attack and then Vine Whip to restrain it. It then poured a large amount of Hypnotic Powder into the spider's mouth.

After getting injected with powder of hypnosis, the spider's body softened.

Su Bai turned his head to look at the Little Tyrant, which lowered its head, obviously aware that it had made a mistake. However, it could not be blamed; who told the dead snake to provoke it?

“Be obedient next time, okay?” He glanced at it. Not only were there many blood monsters in this wilderness, they were also very aggressive toward non-blood creatures.

Under normal circumstances, monsters at the servant level would never dare to attack monsters of a higher rank, but the blood snake had approached them without fear.

Furthermore, it could not be killed. If killed, its killer would be transformed into a blood pet. That spider was an example of that.

If a human like him killed it, he would explode directly because of the large amount of energy.

The Little Tyrant nodded quickly, indicating that it would not do it again.
