Starting With Contract Pets Chapter 140

"Roar! (*⊙~⊙)"
The Little Tyrant gulfed down an entire medicinal cake and choked on it.
"Yes, hurry up and eat; we have to go out soon."
Su Bai threw it a bottle of energy potion.
The dino led the way while both the cub and the two foxes followed behind. Big Demon dashed around, exploring the surrounding situation to see if there were any treasures.
After a while, it suddenly ran back and gestured to Chen Rouxue with its two claws, pointing to somewhere behind. "Hehe! Hehe!"
"It said that someone is calling for help in that direction, and several men are pouncing on a woman."
Chen Rouxue gritted her teeth.
"Let it lead the way; we'll go and take a look. Jade, explore and pay attention to the surrounding situation first. Tyrant, use Concealment to hide our breaths."
Su Bai instructed solemnly. If they met with such a situation, they naturally had to help.
It was natural to draw his knife to help upon seeing injustice on the road.
"Okay."
Chen Rouxue nodded, and the team followed Big Demon in the direction it pointed to.
Within ten minutes, they arrived at the place to see a mid-level warlord Fanged Wolf squatting on the road in lookout. They heard the sound of a woman crying for help inside the cave, and the perverted laughter of a group of men.
"Jade, have you detected the situation?" Su Bai asked solemnly.
"Howl!"
Yes. Other than the Fanged Wolf, there are two peak high-level warlords in the cave. I can't sense any other monster's aura, but it doesn't rule out that there may be hidden monsters.
The cub looked up at him and nodded.
"Okay. Rouxue, take action first and let Xiao Bai kill the Fanged Wolf.
"Then I'll rush over with Purple Jade to unleash Thorns Domain and contain the monster on the left. We're both responsible for killing the men. The rest can work together to eliminate the monster on the right." Su Bai nodded and strategized. "Be careful, though. The Fanged Wolf's characteristics make it immune to control tactics for one time. Don't think about killing it with control; just directly use the killer move to injure it."
"No problem." Nodding, Chen Rouxue touched her pet's head. "Don't make a sound and don't use your control skill. Get rid of the opponent as quickly as possible, okay?"
"Hehe!"
After receiving affection from its owner, Big Demon slowly went into the cave with a happy smile.
Creeping up to the Fanged Wolf, it quietly activated the Hidden Shadow skill and emerged in the opponent's shadows.
While the Fanged Wolf was yawning, Big Demon lifted its claws, condensed a sharp spear, and plunged it directly into the opponent's heart, shattering its crystal nucleus into pieces.
This was its newly learned skill, Spear of Darkness, which caused an almost instantaneous death.
"Who's there?!" As soon as the Fanged Wolf died, an angry roar came from the cave.
"Let's go!"
With Big Demon's success, Su Bai naturally would not waste it. His pets rushed over and came to the cave entrance in a flash. Just when the voice inside sounded, the cub unleashed Thorns Domain and started taking the lives of these few people.
With a boom, the two men found it too late to escape the vines and were instantly pierced by them. The other two men used their summoner skills to escape danger.
"Roar!"
Two angry beasts roared and simultaneously shot bucket-thick pillars of ice and flames at the cub from both sides. Because Purple jade had attacked the humans first, its position was now completely exposed to the two monsters.

However, just when the two beams of light were about to hit the cub, green light surged and it suddenly appeared behind the monster on the left. This was Wood Spirit Replacement, which Su Bai had long since planned to use here.
With two bangs, ice and fire collided, and the terrifying explosion almost blew up the entire insect nest.
Suddenly, while standing behind the Ice Spider on the left, the cub launched a series of dark green energy bullets to it. The terrifying energy erosion instantly pierced the Ice Spider's huge belly and ended its life.
The cub had timed this attack, such that unleashing the skill, the target would not have time to escape. They were far too close for the other to retaliate.
The battle was simpler than what Su Bai imagined. This Ice Spider did not have any life-saving skills and was directly paralyzed after getting hit by the cub's energy bullets.
On another end, the Little Tyrant and Big Demon also killed their opponent, a Fire Stone Monster.
"It's the domain characteristic; d*mn it!"
The two men, who had escaped the cub's Thorns Domain, watched their pets be killed helplessly. They also knew that they could not fight in others' domain, but the opponents had come too suddenly. They were already extremely lucky to have escaped.
They had just been on top of bliss earlier; who would have thought that they would be attacked in the next moment?
It stood to reason that, after two months, high-level Pet Tamers like the pair would have left, or else they would not have dared to act wantonly.
"Buddy, catch them!" yelled Su Bai.
In fact, before he even spoke, the cub had already rushed over with its Vine Whip.
"Let's run!"
The two men released two more warlords. One was a Snake Lizard, which broke off its tail and formed a stand-in to resist the cub's attacks, and the other was a Shield Turtle, which took the two directly into the ground.
Alas, how could they possibly escape? The dino slammed its tail on the ground, causing it to crack and directly shake the men out. Big Demon also controlled them with its Scary Ghost Shadow.
When everything was calm again, Su Bai looked at the woman who had been violated. She had picked up the clothes on the ground to cover her body and was standing there with disheveled hair.
Once everything was over, she quickly knelt and said in a choked voice, "Thank you, thank you…"
"It's alright. Don't worry; you've been rescued." Chen Rouxue walked over and gently comforted her.
Although this woman had disheveled hair, it was obvious that she was only in her early twenties and had probably just become a professional Pet Tamer.
Su Bai turned around while Chen Rouxue took out a set of clothes for the woman. She asked Qiu Qiu to help clean up the woman's body as well.
"Thank you, thank you." The woman bowed and thanked them profusely after putting on the clothes.
"It's alright. We just drew our knives to fight injustice on the road."
Chen Rouxue waved her hand and asked, "How did you get caught?"
Speaking of this, the woman's face flashed with fury, but she finally sighed and laughed at herself. "I am a student of Ancheng's Liuli University. My boyfriend and I heard about the attack in Cannes' monster wilderness and insect ruins, so we came over to take a look.
"On the road, I was attacked by these people and my pet was injured. My boyfriend left me behind and ran away with his pet, saying that he would come back and rescue me, but I haven't seen so much as his shadow over the past half a month. I was rotated among those bastards and played alive for half a month.

"It's laughable that I used to expect his rescue of me. I knew that it's hopeless, but I didn't even dare to die."
"Do you know how strong the big boss among them is?" asked Su Bai. He did not comment on the woman's experience, since he did not know the full story. If he made a casual comment, it might make her even more embarrassed.
"I know that the strongest man has a mid-level commander and two low-level commanders. I saw him fight with other people.
"They also have an Insect Queen egg and a Tier 3 top-grade crystal lotus, the Wood Spirit Stone Lotus. I saw it with my two eyes; the boss is preparing to hatch the egg and build another insect nest."
The woman quickly continued. "If you want to go, I can show you the way."
"Thank you, but it's not necessary. It's too dangerous for us to go."
Su Bai shook his head.
The Wood Spirit Lotus and the Insect Queen's egg were indeed good things, but he did not desire them enough to deal with those people.
Even though he could win by releasing the blood dragon, those desperadoes definitely had their strategies. They might be lacking in other aspects, but they were absolutely top-notch in terms of saving their lives and would stop at nothing to do so. First, they would swallow the contract book of other Pet Tamers to let them acquire their skills.
Second, in addition to their main battle pets, they would contract many pets, such as snakes and lizards with docking tails or monsters with life-saving skills. These pets were ordinary and weren not strong, but they specialized in their life-saving skills and could be used to defend their Pet Tamers in critical moments.
Because they had devoured other people's contract books, they had more pages than normal people. They had the capacity to contract some useless pets together with pets possessing escape skills.
If it were not for this, they would have been unable to escape the purging time and again of the Pet Alliance and the pet management bureau.
From the way those two Pet Tamers had escaped the cub's Thorns Domain with the use of their space attribute pets, it was obvious that they were difficult to deal with and extremely cunning.
Every time Su Bai killed someone, he chose not to devour their contract books. This was because every contract book was unique even if the attribute was the same. Once another person's contract book was swallowed, the owner's original contract book would exude a chaotic atmosphere, and the pages would also show different colors due to the different laws.
This was a very obvious change in the contract book, which would make it difficult for him to live in the normal human society.
Upon hearing that Su Bai did not want to go, the woman was quite disappointed.
"Do you have any other pets?" asked Chen Rouxue.
"No, they forced me to release my pets and then they killed them." The woman shook her head.
"Oh, I see. I'll bring you to find a more gentle and obedient monster to contract first; it's best if you have a means of self-protection," said Chen Rouxue.
"Thank you."
The woman nodded. She knew that they could not send her outside and protect her all the way and could only agree to this strategy.
In fact, it was not very dangerous to leave this place from where they were.
After the woman left, Su Bai glanced at the cub. "Wake them up and ask what's happening."
The few people were interrogated and said the same stuff as the woman earlier, confirming that she had not been lying.
"Alright. Bury them both."
Su Bai waved his hand dismissively.
"No, you can't break your promise! You said that you won't kill us…"
The two people cried in fear.
"Howl!"
Indifferent to their cries, the cub used Hypnotic Powder on these people and caused them to stop struggling. The Little Tyrant activated its spiritual power and dug a hole to bury them in.
Su Bai expressionlessly kept their items. He had kept his promise. He would not kill them and only induced their deaths via suffocation.
"Hey, there're so many Purgatory Flames inside! It's really so effortless."
Su Bai opened a storage backpack and took out a palm-size transparent bottle, which contained Purgatory Flames. He counted more than fifty in total.
With these, he needed not worry about the materials for the dino's evolution anymore.
Su Bai guessed that this was food prepared for the Fire Stone Monster. After all, they could not get out and it was difficult to obtain energy potions here.
Other than that, he also discovered a bunch of fire attribute ores, spiritual plants, spiritual fruits, and other miscellaneous things. Although nothing was particularly good, they were still worth four to five million in total.
"Roar! ლ( ́ڡ`ლ)"
The Little Tyrant looked up at him, drooling excessively.
"This flint fruit will relieve your greed first; we'll settle the rest later." Su Bai threw the rock-like flint fruit to the dino.
"Roar!"
Ah Bai, you're too stingy! I'm sad. Your love has disappeared.
The Little Tyrant grunted in dissatisfaction, complaining that the flint fruit was not even enough to water its mouth.
"Hey, is there anything good?"
At this time, Chen Rouxue walked in and asked.
"What about the woman?" Su Bai looked up.
"She left by herself after contracting a pet; it should be fine." Chen Rouxue smiled.
"I just searched the two space backpacks. The first one has good items. I found some Purgatory Flames which are what I've been looking for. The items add up to four or five million.
"The second backpack is quite useless; everything adds up to only one million." Su Bai shrugged.
"Sure enough, killing people brings us money!" Chen Rouxue exclaimed and picked up a backpack. "Let's go. We'll look through it while we walk; it's not good to stay here."
Nodding, Su Bai let the dino clean up the scene and destroy the entire cave before leaving.
"This backpack is useless, too. Let's count on yours. It should be the backpack of the Ice Spider's owner."
Su Bai smiled. The backpack in his hand did not have many things and looked to add up to one or two million.
"Hey, look at this. This is a Tier 3 mid-grade treasure, the Ice Soul Lotus."
Chen Rouxue dug around and suddenly took out a crystal box, which contained an icy-blue lotus flower. Lying there quietly, it looked like an ice fairy.
"Oh, it's a good item, but it's a pity that the attributes don't match. It can only be sold, but we can keep the lotus seeds for planting." Su Bai was also surprised to see it. It seemed like this guy with the high-level commander pet was pretty rich.
"Oh, I think there are a few skill jades. Let me take a look."
Chen Rouxue dug out a few skill jades.
She tested them with her contract book and found that they were all wind and thunder attribute skills.
"I thought they would be useful; I can only sell them now." She sighed helplessly.
"Hehe! Don't be greedy. These things all add up to several million, almost seven or eight million including the Ice Soul Lotus."
Su Bai glanced at her.
"Hehe! I was only saying." Chen Rouxue smiled.
"Howl! ( ̄へ ̄)"
Half of it is my credit; don't forget to reward me, Ah Bai.
The cub turned its head.
"Roar!"
"Hehe!"
Both the dino and Xiao Bai also expressed that they had done a great deal and should be rewarded.
"Wow! You guys, won't your conscience hurt by saying that?"
Su Bai rubbed the cub's ear and the dino's head vigorously before asking, "Don't I already
spend all my money on you? Doesn't your conscience hurt? Look at me; the money I spend on your energy medicinal cakes is enough to last me several years."
Both pets were stunned to hear this. What the boy had said was indeed reasonable; it was the solid fact, and they could not even refute it.
The two pets were embarrassed to hear this and quickly retreated. They were backed up to the corner of the wall by Su Bai, who bent down to caress their heads. Left with no other choice, the two pets could only act cute and snuggle against his hand.
We were wrong, Ah Bai…
He glanced at them and shook his head generously.
On the other side, Big Demon also hugged Chen Rouxue and acted cute.

Draugr Cell //Layer 01-- Investiture:
With the end of the only war to ever reach mainland Australia I found myself living out of a small room in an old military compound that had been handed over to the jurisdiction of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The end of the war, unfortunately, didn't mean the end of hostilities. The terrorism trend that had started back in the early 2000's with the attack on the world trade center over in America, had spread to just about every country on the face of the planet. Over time the constant threat from various groups meant the civilian police force was quickly undermanned, under equipped, and overwhelmed. They were simply unable to respond to the daily threats in any reasonable time frame, and in many situations lacked the both the skills and equipment required to deal with the threats to put them down in a 'safe' and expedient manner. Veterans of the war that were being reintegrated into society however, were just about everywhere, all the time. We have the training and the skills required to deal with just about any threat you care to mention, all we needed was access to the equipment to do so. In a world first, under the new Veterans program, the Australian government had taken the rather controversial step of allowing specifically selected veterans to go armed in public. Sure, with Australian weapons laws being very, very strict there were a number of hurdles to get over first, but that's where the selection part comes in. Tangentially that's actually how I met Brianna, my current partner. We work as ringers in Victory City, I thought being thrown into imptomtu combat operations and risking my life on a daily basis for barely livable wages was excitement enough. Then I met her... it... I don't know. An AI unlike anything else out there has wedged itself into my life and decided it needs to... look after me. What could possibly go wrong? **** This is the first book I have released, and my first entry into a cyberpunk universe. There is minimal drug use, a fair amount of sex, a bit of gory violence, and a sultry AI that has decided the main character needs a harem.
