Starting With Contract Pets Chapter 117
Advertisement
"Let's continue today."
Su Bai took a simple wash at 6 a.m. and stood up.
The Little Bloodworm had collected only 1,000 Dragon Breaths, so he could not leave this place yet. After all, his purpose for coming here had not been achieved.
"Howl!"
The cub and the Little Tyrant did not complain and walked ahead.
They knew that he was here to collect Dragon Breaths for their caterpillar sibling.
After Su Bai contracted the Little Bloodworm, their attitude toward it had also changed. Although there were still some discomforts, they were now fine with having it around. On account of him, they had decided to accept this relatively weak partner.
A bunch of locust-like insects flew to them as soon as they entered the insect ruins. This species of insects was specially designed to eat flesh and blood, so once they stuck to their targets, they would devour everything including the bones.
The Little Tyrant emptied the area on the left with a blast of flames, while Purple Jade hypnotized a part of its domain before using the Grass Sword Storm to clear the area on the right.
Without hesitation, the Little Bloodworm dove into the domain to hunt down the sleeping monsters. The Mewling Fox then killed some monsters which got close to its master from time to time.
Su Bai looked around, coordinating the whole situation, always paying attention to the monsters rushing over. He told his pets the insects' weaknesses as well as arranged the team's moves.
"Go over there and save that person!"
He suddenly pointed to a human a few hundred yards away on the left. The person's warlord pet had just been severely injured by a bunch of self-exploding flame insects. Before he could retreat, he was surrounded by a dense mass of insects without time to scream.
That Pet Tamer only had two high-level servants left and was on the brink of death.
"Howl!"
Without hesitation, the cub launched Grass Sword Storm. Countless green leaves gathered in the air and turned into a long dragon which flew to that part. Everywhere they went, leaves withered and insects died, instantly opening a pathway for the Pet Tamer to flee.
The person quickly rushed through that path with his remaining pets, and under the cub's remote cover, he soon came to Su Bai's side.
"Thank you brother for your life-saving grace; thank you so much!"
The young man walked over and took out a large pack of insect crystals from his backpack and handed everything to him. "These are all the insect crystals I have; just take them as my thank you gift. Brother, please don't refuse."
"It's not a biggie." Su Bai smiled and took more than half of the crystals as he asked, "Brother, do you know where there are more types of insects?"
"It's probably harder to find because the insects are all in groups. If you want to kill different insects; you must keep changing places," the man said, "but it's said that the Insect King Flower will be in full bloom soon. At that time, all kinds of insects will sacrifice themselves in order to raise the Insect King Flower. Brother, with your strength, you can find it on the periphery and guard that. It's also a good thing, but you must remember to be careful of other people. Some humans are more terrifying than insects."
"Thank you; I understand."
He nodded and then asked his pets to open another path for the young man to flee from here.

"Let's go and check that direction."
Su Bai pointed to the place where the young man had just been a while ago.
He had heard of the Insect King Fruit before; it was a very magical spirit fruit which attracted all kinds of insects to commit suicide with its special fragrance when it bloomed. It was born by gathering the essence of thousands of insect monsters. The Insect King Fruit had the terrifying ability of ignoring obstacles and directly allowing insect monsters to evolve once. Hence, it was considered a priceless treasure on the market.
Only the insect market could produce this kind of thing, so he did not expect to encounter it here. He was afraid that this news would attract countless Pet Tamers to gather here.
Although he did not have insect pets right now, and the caterpillar was about to evolve into a dragon, this did not mean that he would not have an insect pet in the future. If he met another Insect King Fruit in the future and had the opportunity of obtaining it, he would definitely not let it go.
Su Bai watched the situation on the battlefield while observing the insect ruins. Unfortunately, he had not seen the Insect King Fruit before, or else he would have the advantage of knowing its specific information.
Of course, aside from the Insect King Fruit's appearance, his goal was to hunt more kinds of insects.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye as they repeated their routine. He and his pets went to battle almost nonstop.
Such high-intensity fights were not just a test of the pets but of himself as well.
Thankfully, the effects were obvious, and the pets gained a lot of combat experience. His ability to coordinate and adapt according to the battle situation had significantly improved.
Of course, the Little Bloodworm walked away with the most gains. It had collected more than 5,000 Dragon Breaths, and although it still had not transformed into a dragon, its aura was now different from before.
"Howl~"
With a loud roar, the cub unleashed its Grass Sword Storm widely across the battlefield, slaughtering insects as if it were grinding meat. With the release of this skill, a vast spiritual power vortex appeared around its body.
With the slow contraction of the spiritual power vortex, the cub's aura reached the mid-level warlord. It had finally broken through after being stuck in one level for a long time.
"Purple Jade, be careful on your left!"
Su Bai quickly warned it.
The throats of a group of Flame Beetles on the left glowed red as they congealed their fireballs. Although they were only servants, hundreds of fireballs from the group of them were too much for a warlord pet to bear, so the Pet Tamer must be mindful of such and warn their pet immediately.
"Roar!"
The Little Tyrant threw a few fireballs over and killed over half of the insects, alleviating the pressure on that side.
Returning to its senses, Purple Jade used Grass Sword Storm to eliminate the remaining insects. As long as these monsters were prevented from concentrating their power, the battle would always tip in his group's favor.
Time flew so quickly here!
After being in the insect ruins for ten days, the Little Bloodworm had accumulated more than 9,500 Dragon Breaths, and at this point they had already circled around the fringe of the insect ruins. Even though his pet was almost done collecting the Dragon Breaths it needed and they were about to leave, he still had not seen a trace of the Insect King Fruit. Could he have been cheated?

Su Bai could not help thinking about it. He would probably only need two more days to gather the Dragon Breaths, and then they would have to leave and find a place where no one was around.
He could not let the Little Bloodworm transform into a dragon here, or else it might attract much attention.
If he still did not see the Insect King Fruit in these two days, then he would not wait for it anymore, lest he waste time.
"The entrance to the insect market is right in front; let's be careful."
Su Bai exhorted and looked up at the black vortex in the sky in front. He wanted to go in and take a look, but he would be seeking his death if he did so with his current ability. He had only come here after changing his strategy and letting the little dino use his concealment skill.
On the eleventh night, after feeding the pets, he lay on the hammock and teased the Little Bloodworm in his hand. It already had 9,998 Dragon Breaths collected, so he knew that his mission here was almost completed.
The reason why he was still here was he desired to see the Insect King Fruit.
"Si…"
Ah Bai, can I really become a dragon that can fly high in the sky?
The Little Bloodworm gently crawled on the boy's palm and asked. Although he had repeatedly told it that, this caterpillar could still not believe it.
This was because it was born aware of its weaknesses and almost avoided all predators. It could not even provoke a group of ants and had almost never seen a weaker creature than itself.
Suddenly, a person contracted it as a pet and told it that it would become a dragon. It was like telling a frog at the bottom of the well that the sky and the sea were vast. It was unimaginable and the Little Bloodworm could simply not believe it.
"Of course, you have to believe in yourself. We'll stay here two days and then leave for the Scarlet Wilderness, where you'll transform into a dragon."
Su Bai touched the caterpillar's head as he spoke.
After giving the caterpillar a calming pill, he returned it to his contract book. It was still very fragile right now, so who would he cry to if his pet really met with an accident?
"Howl! (๑oั╰╯oั๑)"
As soon as the Little Bloodworm was gone, Purple Jade jumped and lay on his chest next, looking up at him with its big, round eyes.
"Oof!"
Do you want to crush me? Lassie, you weigh hundreds of catties; can't you learn from your younger brother? It never behaves like this.
"Isn't it good for you to make another hammock and sleep beside me? I can't breathe if you lie on me," he said helplessly.
"Howl~"
Purple Jade refused to get up and rubbed itself on him.
"Roar~"
Ah Bai, look over there!
The Little Tyrant called.
He looked to see a strong light bursting in the insect ruins' direction, As the light spread, a unique fragrance gradually dispersed in the air.
Squeaky voices surrounded the mountains and forests around him. Upon closer listening, he realized all kinds of insects were rushing over to the insect ruins.
"The Insect King Flower has bloomed?" This was his first reaction.
"Let's go take a look!"
He jumped out of his hammock and rushed over with his pets. It would be terrible if he was not there when the Insect King Flower bloomed.
He was located not far from the insect ruins and arrived to see the situation there in ten minutes. At the same time, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.
A gigantic pink flower bone at the center of the insect ruins almost covered the sky with its height of a thousand meters, yet it was still growing at a terrifying speed.
Confounded by its fragrance, all kinds of insects were attracted to it and committed suicide one after another under the giant flower.
Su Bai saw the appearance of ten emperor pets in the sky hovering around the giant Insect King Flower and insect ruins vortex, seemingly waiting for something to appear.
He stared at the Insect King Flower for a while and could not help but exclaim at the sight of its information.
It was cultivated via artificial methods by forcibly restraining its branches.. The humongous flower, which had been collecting essences in the entire insect ruins for a decade, possessed unparalleled temptation that even the insect queen could not resist.
Now, just the shape of this flower bone was enough to make the insects desperately scramble to sacrifice themselves. When it bloomed, the insect queen would be unable to resist it.
It could be said that the Spirit Alliance was truly impressive, trying to get rid of the insects in these ruins by attracting the insect queen. At the same time, they could harvest the unprecedented Insect King Fruit.
If the insect queen also sacrificed itself, then the Insect King Fruit would most probably directly evolve into an emperor pet.
However, it was not so beautiful for Su Bai and the other Pet Tamers. Originally, there were many Insect King Flowers that randomly appeared in the ruins, so everyone had a chance of harvesting them. Now that they had all been occupied by the Spirit Alliance, they were naturally not happy.
This Insect King Flower really made him see the horror of summoners and helped him understand their power.
No wonder his master and the others were all playing with the alternate world. The Blue Planet did not pose as much of a challenge to them.
"Wow, the Spirit Alliance is still quite humane." Su Bai looked down at the information he had just received. The Spirit Alliance issued an announcement saying that the insect ruins were destroyed, so everyone could go deep inside to find treasures.
"Let's go back and rest for the night. Tomorrow, we'll go to the Scarlet Wilderness and just visit this place again in August."
He thought about it for a while and decided on this. According to the information he saw, it would take at least a month for the giant flower to bloom, so he was not in a hurry at all. For now, he would focus on increasing his Little Bloodworm's strength to improve its ability to hunt for treasures in the insect ruins.
He took all his pets to their hotel and sent Chen Rouxue a message, telling her about the situation here.
However, it was impossible for him to fall asleep tonight due to the sound of countless insects crawling.
Early the next morning, he also placed the little dino and the baby fox into his contract book and rushed with the cub into the Scarlet Wilderness.
Everyone they encountered along the way was a summoner rushing toward the insect ruins. What happened last night was naturally on the news, so plenty of professional Pet Tamers had come after hearing about it. After all, there were many treasures inside the undeveloped insect ruins.
There would probably be many professional Pet Tamers in Cannes these few days.
After leaving the Chinese Redbud Wilderness, Su Bai went to the Blue Moon Cultivation House. He would rest and buy some things before entering the Scarlet Wilderness.
"Did you just come from the monster wilderness?" asked Hou Jie curiously upon seeing him walk in with an exhausted look.
"Yes, I went to the Chinese Redbud Wilderness and killed insect monsters for eleven days. We killed a total of more than two million insect monsters.
"A giant Insect King Flower just formed over there, so I ran back."
Su Bai nodded.
"You're ruthless to kill so many. Hurry up and take a bath; I'll let someone buy you an outfit."
She was slightly surprised to hear that her student had exterminated more than two million insects. Was the boy's strength already at this level?
"Thank you, teacher, but I have spare clothes."
Nodding, Su Bai went to take a shower on the second floor. He changed into clean clothes and came down.
"Did you take a picture of the giant Insect King Flower? Let me take a look," asked Hou Lan shyly.
"Yeah, I want to see it, too. The pictures taken online aren't clear," complained Hou Jie.
"My shots aren't very clear, either, but I can tell you about the flower in detail."
Other than the Pet Alliance, Su Bai probably knew about it the most.
"It's really a big deal; I'm guessing that the one who planted that flower is a senior trainer!"
His teacher exclaimed in surprise upon hearing his recount.
"At least several senior trainers must have worked together as that flower is just too big." Hou Lan shook his head.
After chatting with them for a while, Su Bai prepared some first-aid medicines and detoxification cakes.
He kept all the things he had obtained from the Chinese Monster Wilderness and then found an excuse to leave.
