Starting With Contract Pets - Chapter 209
Chapter 209: Effect of the Divine Skill
“Well, the villagers were in danger, so we came over to help and, at the same time, get some practice,” Father Su said with a smile.
“I see. Let’s go back then. Didn’t you say that there are a few things that need to be handled in the manor?” Su Bai nodded helplessly, thinking that these two really could not remain idle. Was it not good to stay at home in such a dangerous situation?
“Okay, let’s go back.” Mother Su nodded in agreement.
After bidding farewell to the villagers, the three turned and walked home.
The village chief looked at Su Bai and stopped talking but finally decided not to say it. In fact, there were monsters in several places, and he wanted to ask the boy for help in solving them.
However, the youth seemed uninterested in helping.
They could only wait for the Pet Administration Bureau to come and clean the monsters up.
“Actually, I came out because I didn’t think it’s dangerous. I wanted to give my Shadow Hunting Dragon some practice,” said Father Su with a smile.
The black Shadow Hunting Dragon belonged to the kind of slender, angular monster type. It turned into a black shadow that wandered around. From time to time, it would chase Mother Su’s Purple Thunderbird, but it dared not to provoke Purple Jade even at all.
“Hmph. Your dad wanted to show off because there’s no danger and let them see his pet.” Mother Su revealed this mercilessly before smiling in amusement. “To be honest, it felt quite good to show off.
“Especially the backfeeding of my Purple Thunderbird, it made me feel like I was several years younger. Those villagers were incredibly envious of me.”
Su Bai: “…”
He no longer wanted to say anything when he saw his parents having fun.
“Don’t go out and endanger yourselves; don’t be stingy with money. I’ve already paid off our loan for this manor, so don’t be afraid to spend money. Just focus on cultivating your pets, or else the order of Blue Planet might break down. By then, money would be useless.
Su Bai nodded and then suggested. “If you’re really free, you can give us a sister at home. Didn’t you two say that you always want a daughter?”
Father Su: “…”
Mother Su: “…”
“We’ve started hoarding stuff recently, as the prices of things on the market have gone up,” Father Su said. “We also cultivated our pets according to the cultivation manual you gave us, so there’s no such a thing as being reluctant to part with money for us.”
“Yes, the two of us are very safe. A few days ago, your master asked someone to bring in a generator with superb defense capabilities. Now, the manor has two layers of protection and can even withstand attacks of monarch monsters for a while, so you really don’t have to worry at all.
“Just take care of yourself. Safety is first. The place you run to is many times more dangerous than here,” Mother Su exhorted.
“Added another shield? When was it added?” asked Su Bai curiously.
“Ten days ago. Your master sent someone over and told us to stay at home and don’t go out as if he knew that something would happen.”
“…Okay, I see.” He nodded in response.
“Where did you say there are monsters that need to be solved? I happen to be going out; I’ll solve them first.”
“Don’t worry. Let’s have dinner later first. Go back to the villa and see the situation. Your mother and I have been away for quite some time, so we don’t know what’s going on there.”
“Okay, then. I happen to be hungry, too.” Su Bai nodded in acquiescence. Having not eaten for several days, just the mention of food made him feel famished.
Once they were back in the manor, he glanced at the new shield. It was invisible from the outside and still looked like the original light blue shield.
When Father Su took out a key and opened the door, Su Bai discovered that there was an extra layer of golden shield, which seemed to be many times stronger than the outer shield.
“Here is the key to the shield inside; keep it.” Mother Su took out a card from her bag and handed it to him.
He nodded and kept it.
Walking into the manor, everything was still the same. There were various spiritual plants in the spiritual fields. In the distant spiritual grass pasture, the Flower-scented Dairy Cows were grazing quietly. Several White Water Birds could also be seen on the edge of the reservoir, creating a rather beautiful rural view.
Every time Purple Jade came into the manor, it would not want to walk on pavement and would, instead, always choose to walk on the lawn as it enjoyed trampling on the poor grass.
“Hasn’t my brother come back even once ever since he left?” Su Bai glanced at the cub helplessly before turning to ask his parents.
“No, I called him a few times. He said he’s having a good time with your master and had even made great progress in his studies.” Mother Su smiled.
“I’ll go see him when I have the time.” He sighed, having not been to his master’s place for a long time.
After returning to the villa where his parents lived, his mother went to cook while his father went to check the situation in the manor.
Su Bai also opened his backpack and began to organize his harvest. This time, the harvest was mainly pet and summoner skills.
“Howl?” D’you want my help?
“No need. You can drink your milk; you don’t need to help.” Su Bai shook his head. These were all blood skills. The illustration machine could not detect these, so he could only rely on himself.
He had gained the most number of pet skills, with several hundred thousands in total, but most of them were intermediate, and only about a hundred were advanced skills. Because he had been in a hurry and had been too anxious to obtain blood skills, he had not managed to collect a lot of the skill cards.
“Fortunately, there’s also a consummate skill, the Blood Curse Trauma. Dragon, it’s very suitable for you. I’ll let you learn it after eating. We’ll also look for a few more good skills that you can learn.” Su Bai held a blood-colored crystal ball with a diameter of five centimeters in his hand as he spoke. This was the best harvest in terms of pet skills.
Hearing his words, the dragon wrapped around his wrist and excitedly went in circles.
After tidying the skill jades for pets, he proceeded with sorting out the summoner skill cards.
Once he was also done with them, he felt slightly disappointed. The best skills were only average.
It was alright, though. He chose a skill called Hemostasis. This skill could be used when one was seriously injured. It could keep a severe injury from worsening until the skill lost its effect.
Another thing that made him feel disappointed was none of these skills was useful to him at the moment. He set aside the few good ones first.
As for the others, he would sell them if he could. It would depend on the situation.
The summoner skills evolved from the blood moon world were still very impressive in terms of their life-saving capabilities.
Of course, these skills could not hold a candle to the divine skill he had obtained. After all, these hundreds of thousands of skill cards and skill jades, which had flown out, were merely leftovers. Most of the power went to the blood moon divine skill.
“Come, it’s dinner time.” Mother Su brought out the dishes.
Su Bai quickly kept these things and went over to help his mother. He called his father over after all the food had been laid out.
Since he had not eaten for days, he easily emptied three bowls. This time, his parents wondered if he had run out of a dime and was too poor to eat.
Fortunately, when the two took a look at their son’s savings, the nine figures in it reassured them.
After the meal, he asked about a few nearby places where there were commander monsters roaming about and took the cub to deal with them.
“Do you really not need me to come along?” his father asked.
“No need. If you go, I have to pay attention to your safety, too. You’ll just be a burden.” Su Bai chuckled and waved his hand.
Father Su: “…”
Did he need to be this blunt?
“Howl!” There are a lot of monster activities around here! The cub sashayed into the forest outside the fence and howled.
“Let’s wade deeper into the river ahead. Kill all the monsters you encounter along the way.”
Su Bai took out a potion specially designed to seduce monsters from his backpack and handed it to the cub. Normal monsters would be attracted by this potion.
After finding a place, the cub poured out the potion. They waited for more than half an hour before a bunch of monsters appeared. There were nearly a hundred of them, ranging from servants to commanders.
Once they were close enough, the cub killed them all with its Grass Sword Storm. It was like cutting melons and vegetables.
Su Bai glanced at the corpses on the ground, opened his contract book, and released the Blue Sea Kraken.
“Onom!”
As soon as it came out, it flicked its tail and launched Water Splash, which broke all the surrounding trees. It then floated one meter above the ground and looked at him.
It saw the corpses in front and communicated telepathically how it wanted to eat those.
Still, it did not open its mouth without Su Bai’s order.
Su Bai glanced at the ten-meter-long guy, jumped on its back, and said, “Eat. Let’s go after you’re done.”
“Onom!”
Having gotten his permission, it quickly opened its basin mouth, where a deep blue whirlpool appeared. The monster corpses, along with branches, soil, and stones, were sucked into its mouth.
Su Bai: “…”
“Let’s go and continue looking elsewhere,” he said, a little speechless. This Blue Sea Kraken was really like a starving ghost.
Many monsters were killed along the way. The cub killed in the front, while Blue Sea Kraken killed in the back.
This guy was already addicted to eating. It seemed to have acknowledged Purple Jade as its big sister and listened completely to the other.
After more than an hour, Su Bai came to the river upstream.
From a distance, he saw a strange breed, a two-headed, three-eyed pig of the commander grade.
Upon seeing him, this pig turned its head and ran. Clearly, it did not want to fight as it sensed the terrifying aura of Purple Jade.
“Onom!”
Pipi Kraken opened its mouth and attacked with Water Cannon. Following a bang, it gave the pig an untimely shower.
Seeing the pig chasing it, the kraken turned its head and ran away. There was no use, alas.
“Howl?” Why did you provoke it if you couldn’t win against it?
The cub glared at the kraken and rushed over to kill the pig. It did not take the existence of a water-wood attribute seriously.
“Jade, don’t kill it. Just grab it; I have some use for it,” Su Bai said suddenly.
“Howl!”
The cub immediately changed its methods and directly opened its Thorns Domain. Numerous thorns rose from the ground and instantly tied the two-headed, three-eyed pig into a ball.
The huge rattan ball burst forth with two psychic powers, and the pig stopped moving.
In fact, in the face of the cub, which was a peak commander, most existences under that grade had no ability to fight it at all.
Ah Bai, what are you going to do? Are you eating pork? The cub turned to look at him. Such an ugly pig is definitely not tasty.
“Onom!” Blue Sea Kraken made a sound, eager to try. It indicated that if the pig was not tasty, it could settle it for them.
“Of course it’s not for eating but rather for experimenting with the Pet Tamer’s divine skill. Jade, make sure that there’s no one nearby,” he instructed.
Divine skill? The cub opened its Forest’s Rhythm to check the surroundings carefully. It shook its head after a while. No one’s around.
Su Bai released Little Tyrant, Mewling Fox, and Ice Phoenix. He let phoenix fly into the sky and pay attention to the situation around them.
“Blue Sea Kraken, come over and I’ll get you something fun. Don’t resist later; you’ll have a lot to eat once you are done.”
Although it had evolved, he still liked calling it Blue Sea Kraken.
“Onom!”
It immediately turned its head to look at him with its big blue eyes before nodding vigorously.
“Okay, come on then!” He nodded and raised his hand to summon his contract book.
After turning open, the contract book gleamed with golden light and a blood moon pattern appeared.
“Evolve!”
With a move of his mind, the contract book directly floated on top of the kraken’s head. Terrifying blood-colored light burst forth, and then a scarlet beam came from the blood moon pattern, which penetrated the kraken’s body.
“Onom!”
It raised its head to the sky and let out a roar, its body rapidly evolving in the blood and light.
In a short while, it had grown to a hundred meters huge, with mountain and sea patterns on its body. It was hideous and terrifying, ancient and mysterious, and a single roar seemed to make the mountains and seas tremble.
It even directly evolved into a Mountain Sea Monster Kraken.
Upon seeing this scene, all the other pets were taken by surprise. Their eyes widened and they could only watch this incredible scene in silence.
Their master could directly evolve them now? Was this not too terrifying?
“Designated strengthening skill, Water Cannon!”
Su Bai raised his hand, and the page of the contract that belonged to Blue Sea Kraken appeared. He placed his finger on a line of blue runes, and blood was injected into kraken’s body again.
Oh, it should be called the Mountain Sea Monster Kraken now.
“Onom!”
The big mouth of the Mountain Sea Monster Kraken opened, and blue stream gathered. The spiritual power of the water attribute under heaven and earth was mobilized, and the nearby river moved with it.
With a roar, the kraken hit a 200-meter-high hill in the distance with its Water Cannon skill.
Almost no obstacles stood in its way, so the dark blue water cannon easily struck the mountain, then a huge circular muzzle appeared.
With a bang, the whole mountain was directly cut by the waist and turned into pieces of rubble.
Mountain Sea Monster Kraken looked at the scene in front of it with uncomprehending eyes. Could a high-level servant emit such terrifying skills?
Little Tyrant raised its claws and checked them, wondering if this was dreaming.
It pinched itself.
Ouch! It hurts.
This was not a dream, huh. How could this guy perform things so easily when they needed his full strength to do?
The other pets were also stunned.
“Quack.” This world is really dangerous.
The phoenix flapped its wings and flew higher.
“Alright!”
Su Bai glanced at kraken and collected the blood from it with a move of his mind.
Like a deflated balloon, Blue Sea Kraken shrank from one hundred meters to ten meters quickly, and its body quickly degenerated from the Mountain Sea Monster Kraken to the Deep Blue Sea Kraken.
It lay on the ground with a snap, looking sore and weak, its breathing labored.
