Starting With Contract Pets Chapter 52

Upon hearing that, Su Bai glanced over and indeed saw a small cave behind the waterfall. A small tree was growing inside, with some green fruit.
It seemed that the waterfall had thinned significantly because of the lack of rain today, hence revealing the small cave behind.
Looking intently at it, a line of small fireflies appeared before his eyes.
[Introduction]: The Tier 2 low-level Woodgrain Fruit has the effect of restoring a pet's spiritual power and increasing stamina; it can also temporarily heighten certain wood resistance for a duration.
Woodgrain Fruit Tree generally grows near the body of water and on pith ore.
Aquamarine Stone monsters usually like to sleep beside any Woodgrain Fruit Tree, waiting for it to naturally mature before eating it.
*****
"That's a Woodgrain Fruit Tree at low-level warlord. Be careful. There should be warlord monsters around."
Upon hearing this, the others immediately stood up. Their pets also guarded them vigilantly.
Even if these five worked together, they could barely defeat a warlord monster.
"Something isn't right. We've been here for so long; any monster should have planted a sneak attack on us. Why are we still unharmed?" Chen Rouxue voiced her doubt.
In fact, Su Bai was also curious about that. It stood to reason that a monster would have appeared long ago, but not one had shown up all this while.
"Xiao Bai, fly up and take a look!" Chen Rouxue was reluctant to give up on such a big treasure.
"Hehe!"
Little Devil called twice and flew up, its figure blurring.
"Roar!"
It only flew less than halfway when a huge water column sprayed toward it. Right after, a gigantic humanoid Aquamarine Stone monster, more than two meters high, appeared in the air with a blue water stream.
"Hehe!"
The small demon reacted with its Scary Ghost Shadow, wanting to control the stone monster. Under its attack, the Aquamarine Stone monster flashed with blue light and rendered the other's attack useless.
With a slam from its hit, Little Devil was sent flying. Its body blurred a lot, for it was injured.

"Xiao Bai, come back!" Chen Rouxue quickly called it. This Aquamarine Stone monster was actually immune to her pet's control effect.
"Don't worry; that monster is injured, and it's not a minor injury. Let's deal with it carefully as we have a chance."
Su Bai informed in a deep voice. The monster obviously looked a little sluggish and had flames and claw marks on its body. Although its spiritual power had been restored to peak state, the injuries on its body were not fully healed yet, and it had probably just had a recent fight.
"Buddy, use Hypnotic Powder!"
He wanted to see if it was immune to all attacks.
"Howl!"
The cub's thorns spread out, covering the field with dark green thorny vines. The fragrance of flowers diffused, and the thorn pollen mixed with it floated about.
With a roar, the stone monster rolled up a curtain of water and attacked the cub. The Hypnotic Powder failed, and the stone monster swooped down again, its fist turning into a small hill as it attacked the cub.
This wood pet was the most threatening in this battle and must be killed.
"Dodge!"
With a slam, the stone monster hit the center of the entire field of thorns. However, the cub's usual training had improved its dodging ability, and it managed to evade the attack before it hit.
Of course, it was also because the monster was not fast enough.
"Vine Whip Restraint!"
The cub immediately understood its owner's meaning, and at the exact moment he spoke, the vine whips in the field of thorns directly wound around the monster. This sudden attack gave the latter no chance to dodge.
"Xiao Bai, use Curse!"
"Little Conch, use Water Poison Arrows!"
"Small Pangolin, Earthquake!"
"Blade Praying Mantis, Chain Blade!"
Thanks to their previous training, the other four managed to launch attacks almost simultaneously. The Earthquake attack, combined with Purple Jade's Vine Whip, successfully restrained the opponent, causing the other attacks to hit its body directly.
"Roar!"
Following a bang, the monster exploded with powerful spiritual energy. It ripped apart the thorns, shattered the nearby ground, and knocked the flying Blade Praying Mantis off with a punch.

"Roar!"
The furious monster condensed energy balls all over its body and smashed them toward the cub without mercy. Today, it would not stop until it had killed the cub.
"Howl! (`Д ́*)"
Purple Jade madly dodged its attack, wondering why the monster was bent on chasing it. It was not the only one that had attacked it, so why was it not chasing the others, instead?
"Ghost Claw!"
Following Chen Rouxue's order, Little Devil laughed wildly as its dark spiritual power condensed into a ghost claw of more than ten meters long. It aimed this righteously at the Aquamarine Stone.
"Roar!"
The monster turned its head and smashed the ghost claw with a punch. It then spat two blue energy balls to finish off the small demon.
"Eat my pet's Fireball!"
Jiang Yang yelled, and his Small Pangolin slammed a fireball at the monster's face. There was no effect on it, only some water mist evaporating.
Still, the monster's attention was successfully drawn, and it roared fiercely before spouting several energy balls. A low-level slave pet actually dared to hit it; it was simply enraged.
"F*ck! I was just kidding. Don't chase my baby!"
When the androgynous boy saw the monster rushing over, he turned his head and ran away in shock.
With a slam, his Small Pangolin was hit by an energy ball. Many of its scales were torn apart, and it collapsed to the ground.
"Do it again! Its breath is getting weaker and weaker! Its weakness is its heart!
"Buddy, Super Vine Whip!"
Su Bai yelled. Having been hit by the cub's Vine Whip and parasitic seeds, in addition to Little Devil's Curse, the monster's state was rapidly declining.
If not for the monster's rock body and its immunity to poison attacks, it would have already been severely injured.
"Howl~"
Two vine whips as thick as a bowl drilled out from the ground, like giant pythons, and quickly coiled around the monster's body. The cub's Super Vine Whip, enhanced by Su Bai's incorporation of light attribute balls, was so strong even the Aquamarine Stone could not break free.
"Roar!"
The monster madly thrashed about and tore at the vines on its body like a frenzied and crazed cow, swaying the vines clinging onto it from side to side.
"Xiao Bai, use Hypnosis!" hurriedly ordered Chen Rouxue.
"Hehehe!"
Little Devil flew over the Aquamarine Stone monster and began singing, spreading its dark spiritual power out. This hypnotism was a waveform, so the monster could not resist it. Although it did not fall asleep, its body became sluggish.
"Little Conch, use Water Poison Arrows and aim all at its heart!"
"Blade Praying Mantis, Chain Blade!"
Naturally, Chen Tingting and Yang Zhou could not let go of this great opportunity created by Su Bai. They commanded their pets to rush over with their respective attacks.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
A burst of Water Poison Arrows pierced the Aquamarine Stone's chest. Knowing that its chest had been hit, the monster's strong desire to survive exploded, and it broke free from its limpid state. It roared and instantly condensed several energy balls to smash Little Conch.
With three bangs, Little Conch had no time to evade and could only use its Circulating Water to defend itself. However, this instantly disintegrated in the face of an attack by a warlord monster, and the pet's shell cracked with blood as it suffered serious injuries.
At this time, a white light flickered, then a sharp knife cut the back of the Aquamarine Stone. With the sounds of metal clashing, the blade hit the monster's crystal nucleus, which burst with fine cracks.
"Roar!"
With a crazy roar, a terrifying tide of spiritual power gushed out of the Aquamarine Stone's body. It directly knocked Little Devil and Blade Praying Mantis out of the air. The cub, which was also implicated, lost control of its vine whips.
After erupting with spiritual power, the Aquamarine Stone stood in place, its head raised high, its face twisted in madness and anger.
It remained motionless.
It was dead.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
