Starting With Contract Pets - Chapter 129
Chapter 129: Other Side of the Space Crack
“Mewling Fox, hurry up and collect all the blood; it’s the blood of an emperor pet. It’s great to take some back and feed it to the Bloodthirsty Spear Bush.”
Su Bai caressed the baby fox in his arms and instructed.
“Hing!”
Ah Bai, I’ll follow you forever and won’t ever leave your side!
The baby fox hugged him tightly. Its affection for him had reached a peak and was unable to increase further. Even if he let it die now, it still would not hesitate.
He had shown great kindness by excavating it from the brink of death and had even saturated its origin for it to be born into this world.
Now, even in such a desperate situation, he still did not abandon it. To the Mewling Fox, he was definitely a Pet Tamer worthy of following for life and even dying for.
“Hurry up and collect the blood.”
Smiling and shaking his head gently, Su Bai reached out and patted his pet.
How could such a cute fox be stolen by someone else? He had not caressed it enough.
It was not anything worthy showing off for and was the basic quality of a Pet Tamer with potential.
“Hing~ ლ(^ω^ლ)”
The Mewling Fox ran off and used its spiritual power to collect all the Soul-sealing Beast’s blood which had spilled on the ground.
“Are you alright? I thought something had happened to you; it scared me to death.”
Hou Lan flew over on his Big Ray from a distance and sighed in relief upon seeing him.
“I’m alright. Don’t worry.” Su Bai smiled, surprised that Hou Lan had rushed over despite the big risk.
The man was a friend worth getting close to, and he silently noted this down.
“Thank goodness. What happened just now? How did the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox break the seal so quickly after we came out, and it’s even more powerful, it seems to have the blood aura,” asked Hou Lan curiously.
Everything happened too fast, so he did not know what was going on.
Did Elder Tong not say that the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox was dead? Why did it suddenly resurrect, grow such terrifying strength that it even severely injured the emperor Soul-sealing Beast and chased it?
“Do you have a good relationship with Elder Tong?” asked Su Bai.
“Not bad. He’s more of a generous kind of senior.” The other thought for a while before he answered.
“Oh, I see. Then let me tell you why things turned out like this…”
He explained briefly to the young man but left out details about the Ancestor Blood Dragon. He only talked about how he had helped the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox revive via a special method.
Upon hearing his general narrative, Hou Lan stared speechlessly at him for a long time. What kind of person was this boy? He dared to face an opponent with an emperor pet just for his pet. Was he not afraid of failing to resurrect the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox?
However, Su Bai’s deeds really filled him with admiration. The youth was a friend truly worthy of having; he had not made the wrong choice.
“You’re truly a Pet Tamer!”
After a long silence, he exclaimed.
“There’s no need to worry about Elder Tong; I’ll take care of it with you. If it doesn’t work, I’ll go back to find my family’s help. He coveted your pet first, so I believe that the alliance won’t just sit back and watch.”
He patted the boy’s arm again in reassurance.
“Haha! Don’t worry, Brother Hou. I also have big figures behind me, so he won’t dare to come to Cannes.”
Su Bai shook his head and chuckled, not wanting to involve the other in this matter.
Since Hou Lan had cut ties with his family, it meant that he did not have a good relationship with them, so he did not want to burden his friend.
When the other was about to say something else, he quickly interrupted. “Plus, it’s uncertain if Elder Tong can escape the pursuit of the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox.”
“You’re right. After all, it’s a sovereign-level Twelve-tailed Magic Fox.”
“Hing.”
At this moment, the Mewling Fox trotted over to Su Bai. It had finished collecting all the Soul-sealing Beast’s blood, which could fill up a single bathtub.
“I have a space test tube here; you can place it inside.”
Hou Lan took out an empty test tube from his backpack.
“Thank you.”
Taking the test tube, Su Bai filled it with the Soul-sealing Beast’s blood. The blue blood shone like crystal, looking beautiful inside.
“What are you going to do next?” Hou Lan looked at him.
“I’m going to move all the treasures in this space. These treasures, including the flower-scented cows, should be worth some money, shouldn’t it? Brother Hou, can your Big Ray move all these things?”
He said after thinking about it.
Hou Lan: “…”
Was this boy not afraid, even just a little?
While they were talking, Luo Xia and the others eventually discovered that there was no longer danger, so they went to their location soon after.
“What happened?” They glanced at Su Bai.
All of them were surprised that he was not dead. He had actually managed to remain unscathed despite that earlier high-level pet battle ; it felt quite unrealistic.
“Nothing much. Elder Tong coveted my pet, so I released the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox to kill him.”
He casually recounted as if it was nothing.
Everyone: “…”
B*llsh*t. A weakling like you did that?
“What the hell happened? This kind of joke isn’t funny. Do you think that you have the strength to do all that?” The blond youth scoffed, thinking that he was speaking nonsense.
“Forget it if you don’t believe me. Those are the facts; I didn’t ask you to believe them.”
Su Bai spread his hands.
“Hou Lan, do you know what happened?” asked Luo Xia.
“He’s telling the truth. The situation happened that way. Elder Tong coveted his pet but ended up seeking his own death instead,” replied the young man.
Everyone: “…”
“Do you think that’s realistic? A senior egg appraiser coveted a rookie Pet Tamer’s pet? Although his pet is of good quality, it’s not the only one in the world.”
The tomboyish girl spoke, feeling exasperated.
At this moment, a terrifying aura wafted over, and everyone turned around to see the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox behind them. It looked at them indifferently, with a hint of killing intent in its eyes.
“Hello, senior fox. Did you succeed in killing that old man?” Su Bai greeted the fox with a smile
“Hmph! He abandoned his seven monarch pets to flee.”
An ethereal female voice came from the mouth of the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox.
“That’s such a shame. If I weren’t so weak, I really would want to help you, senior fox.”
Su Bai showed a pitiful expression on his face, feeling rather bitter inside. D*mn it. That old man escaped. Since the situation had gotten complicated, he could only find his master for help.
Everyone else was shocked to hear this conversation. It seemed that Su Bai had really released the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox, but it was just too heaven-defying.
“Get lost!”
At this moment, the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox uttered an ethereal word and sent everyone else away with its spiritual force.
“Senior fox, I had a friend among them,” he said quickly.
“They’re alright. I just threw them out of this space,” said the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox. The aura around its body suddenly began decreasing until it was only at the monarch level.
“Senior fox, are you alright?” He inquired immediately.
Su Bai had already anticipated this to happen. The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox’s level was too high, while the Little Blood Dragon’s was too low. The First Dragon Blood could not help to fill up its energy completely, and the reason why the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox had become so strong was due to its cooperation in stimulating its body’s potential.
After this, it would need a long time of recuperation before it could get back to the sovereign level.
“Hmph! I can’t die so easily. Don’t worry about me.
“Let me ask you: Is there any way to remove this blood power from my body?”
The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox climbed down and stared at him with its blood-colored pupils.
It was willing to talk to him because the way he protected his pet had impressed it.
“That can’t be removed for the time being, but don’t worry. I promise not to use that power. With it, your recovery speed will be accelerated.
“Once my dragon pet is on a higher level and can take back her power, I’ll let her do so.
“For now, there’s really no way. I had only one solution to save myself back then; I hope that you can forgive me.”
Su Bai bowed and saluted.
“Hmph! The words of a human aren’t worth much. Who knows what you’ll do in the future?”
The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox snorted coldly, staring at him with its beautiful eyes, obviously in disbelief.
“I really don’t have any ill-intention. Only old guys like Elder Tong treat you as a treasure. I prefer cultivating and raising a pet by myself.
“If I grow to be like you, I won’t do such uninteresting things, either. Senior fox, you should see the potential of my pets.
“Under the same conditions, you’re incomparable to them. I don’t like forcing others, so there’s no need to worry about the same thing happening to you—Er, I was wrong! You’re the most powerful; they’re incomparable to you. I was wrong…”
As he was in the middle of speaking, a burst of spiritual power hit him out of nowhere and threw him to the side. The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox trotted over and stepped on him with its huge paw.
“Hmph! The human mouth is really unbelievable,” said the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox in disdain, not letting go of him.
In fact, it also knew that it could not compare to this boy’s pets.
“Hing! (▼皿▼#)”
Let go of Ah Bai!
The Mewling Fox rushed forward and bit on the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox’s paw.
The latter did not even look at the former and just sent it flying with a swipe of its paw.
The baby fox rolled for a long time before rushing over to bite it again, asking for the senior fox to let go of its master.
“Get lost!”
The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox felt annoyed and flicked the boy away with its paw.
In fact, it could not even hurt the youth at all.
“Senior fox, there’s something you don’t know. The Spirit Alliance has completely blocked off all blood pets. Plus, you have the ability to make dreams into reality, so Elder Tong will definitely go to them if he’s not dead. I have a perfect place for you to recover, where no one will interrupt you and you can even collect all the power of fantasy…”
Su Bai slowly threw the bait and tempted the baby fox. He could see the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox’s current physical condition and what it needed, so he felt the possibility of tempting it over was still rather large.
“Is that place as good as you say?” The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox was skeptical.
“I never lie to people.”
He patted his chest.
It glanced at him. “I’m not a human.”
Su Bai: “…”
“I mean I never lie. Besides, if you don’t like it, you can leave anytime, and I won’t be able to stop you.”
He shrugged.
“Okay, then. I’ll take a trip with you to look.”
The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox glanced at him again and slowly stood up.
A spiritual power wrapped around the boy and his pet as a wave of dream power erupted from the senior fox’s body. The entire space started shrinking until it turned into a transparent bead which the fox swallowed.
“My money!” Su Bai cried without tears.
“Hmph! What do you mean by your money? This space was created by me with my fantasy power, so everything inside is naturally mine.” The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox raised its head and scoffed.
“Okay.” He sighed, depressed. His dream of becoming rich had suddenly fallen through.
“Still, if the place you mentioned is really suitable for me, I’ll give you those cows.”
The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox spoke again.
“Senior fox, don’t worry; I promise that I’m not lying.” He nodded quickly. Those flower-scented cows were very valuable, so it was a good thing to get hold of them.
“Let’s go. Hold tightly; I don’t care if you fall to death by yourself.”
With that said, the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox burst forth with terrifying spiritual power, which turned into a stream of light across the sky.
The pet-owner pair clung tightly onto its thigh, afraid of falling off.
Because the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox did not intend to stop, Su Bai took out his phone to send a message to Hou Lan and asked him to go back first.
Compared to the time it took to come, it only took two hours for him to reach Carp Town. The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox was so fast even though it had fallen to the monarch level.
“This is the manor.”
He quickly took out his card and opened the energy shield.
The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox saw the space crack hidden inside the Construct Reservoir at a glance and directly flew over.
Inside, Su Bai finally saw the appearance of the space crack. A distorted blue strip of space crack about ten meters long and as wide as an adult’s thigh appeared. Its cracked section was like a broken glass.
“Hmph! This space crack isn’t too bad. The spiritual power is very strong here. Let me see what’s up on the other side.”
The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox felt satisfied with the strong spiritual energy in this place. Spiritual power radiated off its body as it penetrated through the crack.
After thirty minutes, the fox suddenly retreated as its expression vacillated.
“What’s wrong? Is there any danger over there?” asked Su Bai curiously.
“Hmph! Take a look at it yourself.” The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox hit his head with its spiritual power.
When the spiritual power entered his body, he saw the situation detected by it.
Behind the space crack was a deep-sea trench, and the spiritual energy there was congested.
All the way up the trench and past the water surface, the sun could be seen shining on the various marine lives swimming about.
These were fine until he saw the situation in the sea. He exclaimed in shock, “Oh, my God… How could it be?!”
