Starting With Contract Pets
chapter-118

After leaving the Blue Moon Cultivation House, Su Bai was about to rush to the Scarlet Wilderness when his girlfriend video-called him.

"What are you doing?" asked Chen Rouxue with a smile on the video.

"I'm preparing to head to the monster wilderness," he responded.

"I saw the news, too. You must pay attention to your safety. It's best if you can find Zhao Li and the others and go as a team."

"No, I'm going to the Scarlet Monster Wilderness this time."

"Oh, can't you wait for my return so that we can go together? I may be back in August. This training camp feels a bit like an IQ tax, and there's really nothing to train here. I'm already trying to convince my dad." Upon hearing that, Chen Rouxue immediately felt worried for him.

"I have something to do inside; it's too complicated to talk about it on the phone. Come back quickly, so I can tell you in person," he said.

"Okay, then. Pay attention to your safety; I'll be back as soon as possible. Remember to miss me." The girl puffed up her cheeks.

"Don't worry. I'll hang up now; let's have a good chat when you're back."

Su Bai smilingly waved at his girlfriend and hung up after taking one last look at her pouty face.

He actually had a lot to say to her, but there were too many people on the street.

Carrying his backpack, he raised his foot to enter the Blood Moon Bar.

The world around him changed and he appeared in the Scarlet Wilderness. It was noon at this time, and the sun was scorching hot, making him feel like he was in a steamer.

The pages of the emerald contract book turned and the Little Tyrant, as well as the Little White Fox, appeared on the ground.

"Howl! (๑oั╰╯oั๑)"

The cub flicked its tail and walked around, clearly in a good mood.

The dino had already embarked on a journey to search for ores. It was always on the road to find food.

Only the baby fox looked around at the strange environment and cried out of curiosity.

Su Bai linked his consciousness to the contract book again and runes enveloped him. His appearance changed into another, a face that was slightly worse than his originally handsome face but looked extremely cold.

"Weep weep…"

Ah Bai, you've become ugly. You don't look as good as before.

The Mewling Fox raised its head and looked tenderly at him.

"Howl!"

Exactly! I don't want such an ugly Pet Tamer. Ah Bai, please make yourself a bit handsomer.

The cub lifted its head and expressed the same sentiment.

"It's a given that this fake face can't compete with my handsome appearance, but I'll have to use it in the wilderness from now on," he said, lifting his head.

The Little Tyrant silently gazed at its owner, thinking how narcissistic his Pet Tamer was. He was nowhere near as handsome as it and did not even have any muscles on his body.

"Let's head over to the virgin forest over there."

Su Bai ignored the dino's eyeroll and pointed to the virgin forest in the distance.

It was on the opposite end of the Bloodthirsty Vine Bazaar. Since the Little Bloodworm needed a lot of time to transform into a dragon, he wanted a remote place. At present, it seemed that the forest was the most suitable forest.

Although it might be dangerous, it was no big problem for him as long as he was careful.

Three days later, he finally arrived at a blank area inside the primordial forest. Looking around, he said, "Purple Jade, help me check the surroundings."

Light green waves of spiritual power circulated around the mid-level warlord cub as it stepped forward to check almost one kilometer of the surroundings with its Forest's Rhythm.

"Howl!"

Ah Bai, other than some servant monsters, there's no big threat nearby.

"Okay, I see. You guys can explore a bit, too." He nodded.

After confirming that there was no danger in the surroundings, he opened the emerald contract book and flipped through its pages. The Little Bloodworm appeared in his palm.

"Si…"

The caterpillar looked up at him.

"Are you ready? The time for you to transform into a dragon has arrived." Su Bai looked at it as he spoke. Compared to hatching a dragon egg, he felt that it was more fulfilling to cultivate a dragon in this way.

It was an amazing accomplishment to cultivate the most humble and weakest creature in the world into an unparalleled dragon in one fell swoop. If news of this were to get out, it would not be left out in history, would it?

"Si…"

I'm ready. If I can really transform into a dragon, I'll follow you forever and never leave!

The Little Bloodworm nodded firmly. It would finally be a dragon.

"Little dino, bring over the prey." Su Bai nodded. After experiencing untold hardships and killing more than two million monsters in the insect ruins, the caterpillar managed to collect 10,000 Dragon Breaths. Today, it was finally time to witness a miracle.

"Roar!"

The Little Tyrant let out a low growl and threw three sleeping bird monsters onto the ground.

All three pets stared curiously at the caterpillar.

They refused to believe that it had enough potential to transform into a dragon. A worm was a worm, so how could it be?

"Little Bloodworm, kill them," Su Bai instructed.

"Sisi!"

Without hesitation, the Little Bloodworm spat three silk threads and instantly cut off the necks of the three birds. With a bang, blood spurted and dyed the leaves red as three bird heads fell into a pool of blood.

At the same time, three golden lights floated out and penetrated the Little Bloodworm. Finally, it had gathered enough Dragon Breaths.

After about a second, the pet in Su Bai's palm suddenly lifted its head and let out a roar that echoed across the sky. "Roar!"

The so-called hidden dragon's profound scales and claws appeared, and the originally talentless Little Bloodworm began its transformation into a dragon following a violent gust of wind.

The Little Bloodworm made its first roar as the process of its dragon transformation commenced. This sound stunned the world and shook everything under the sun. As a result, countless monsters in the virgin forest sprawled to the ground and shuddered.

Its roar turned the originally blue sky and white clouds that afternoon into a blood red shade; the faint blood moon then rose and released dazzling scarlet lights. For a moment, rising winds and scudding clouds lost their colors.

Everyone in the Scarlet Wilderness was stunned for a moment. They had never seen such a faded sky and turbulent situation in their lives before. As all of them trembled at the sound of the terrifying roar, they dazedly raised their heads and looked up in the sky.

The caterpillar in Su Bai's palm slowly floated. The 10,000 Dragon Breaths it had gathered burrowed out and then went back inside it, gradually becoming an orderly golden rune chain that dug into the Little Bloodworm's flesh.

A wave of invisible spiritual power enlarged its body. The blood moon in the sky emitted a strong scarlet light which enveloped it. The world focused on it as countless blood monsters suddenly fell to the ground and died. Scarlet light balls from their corpses then flew toward the Little Bloodworm.

Using the countless scarlet lights, the caterpillar made a big scarlet cocoon and fell in front of Su Bai. The big cocoon emitted a cloud of bloody lights and enveloped him and his other pets before slowly sinking into the ground.

The countless bloody rays all gathered, corroding the earth and the forest. With the scarlet cocoon at the center, a scarlet lake with a diameter of more than one kilometer formed.

Countless scarlet light balls collided and squeezed one another as they emitted scarlet rays in the scarlet lake. Upon a closer look, chains of profundity and law were born and then annihilated.

"Such a huge blood lake!"

Pet Tamers, who had heard the news, rushed over and looked at the lake of blood in shock.

"Flame Snake, attack it and see how it goes!" someone shouted, frightened by the masses of blood lights.

"Hiss!"

The high-level commander blood snake shot a blast of flames over. The scarlet lights from the lake reflected its flames, and with a bang, the high-level commander pet instantly lost its breath of life.

It was dead.

Countless Pet Tamers tested and explored this blood lake, but they all suffered great losses.

"What the hell's going on? Was an exceptional spiritual plant just born or was it a pet?" someone asked inexplicably.

"I don't know…" The group of people, who had gathered by the lake, exchanged glances.

"I've seen records in the ancient ruins before, stating that, when some pets are born, they change the color of the world. They can make the wind and clouds billow and the whole earth shake."

Someone spoke from the sky, and the speaker turned out to be a man in his twenties. He was standing proudly on the back of a scarlet Nine-headed Blood Phoenix.

"Wow, this Nine-headed Blood Phoenix is a high-level monarch. It's Ye Wuchen, the manager of the Bloodthirsty Vine Bazaar. Did this blood lake alarm him as well?"

The group of people by the lake spotted the man and the blood phoenix in the air and gossiped among themselves. This was a big boss, whose beginning and end could not be seen. They wondered how many would big figures come if even such a well-known figure had shown up.

"Master Ye, can you see what's bred inside this blood lake?" someone asked.

Ye Wuchen glanced at the lake and slowly shook his head. "This blood lake has just been formed, and its profundity and laws are still chaotic. Even I can't tell what's inside it, but Master Wei Ya should be able to. I've already notified her; she'll come over soon."

Upon hearing that Ye Wuchen had also notified the Card Queen, the group of people below suddenly lost their fighting intentions. Instead, they wanted to be onlookers and see what kind of pet this was.

In the middle of the blood lake, Su Bai and his pets were inside an energy bubble. They watched speechlessly as countless fragments of laws and profundity were absorbed into the blood cocoon.

Purple Jade: Σ(゚∀゚ノ)ノ"

Little Tyrant: (゚⊿゚)ツ

Mewling Fox: (*゚ロ゚)!

The three pets were dumbfounded. The transformation of this little worm was too shocking for them. It had really broadened their horizons by exceeding their expectations!

"Howl! (๑oั╰╯oั๑)"

Ah Bai, I also want this kind of transformation.

The cub rubbed against Su Bai, acting cute as it whined. Since he could help even a small worm transform into a dragon, then he could definitely turn it even more powerful.

The dino and the baby fox also looked forward to his response.

"You guys are already very strong, so there's no way to transform you like that, but as long as you guys continue working hard, your future will be just as bright."

Su Bai said as he looked at his three pets.

The trio immediately lost interest upon hearing that and lay down while gazing at the scarlet cocoon.

He also turned and checked the scarlet cocoon's information. This was an incubating dragon cocoon, which would hatch in about two or three days and completely transform into a dragon.

Su Bai was now most worried about how they could get out. He truly did not expect the Little Bloodworm's process of transformation into a dragon to create such a big scene. Fortunately, he came to the Scarlet Wilderness, or else he would likely meet big trouble if he were on the Blue Planet.

Nonetheless, even in the Scarlet Wilderness, he estimated that some people would still rush over. Right now, he had no idea how they could get out.

However, such a big scene also excited him, and he began looking forward to what kind of dragon the Little Bloodworm would turn into.

Time passed quietly as the water in the blood lake churned with the thick stench of blood. The previously undulating chains of profundity and laws had already disappeared, and the lake surface was now calm.

The scarlet cocoon at the heart of the lake began swaying, and finally, with a snort, a scarlet figure emerged and swam toward Su Bai.

With the birth of this monster, even he basked in the glow of a scarlet light. His blood boiled and his strength seemed to have become infinite as if he could even lift a whole mountain.

This power transformed his body and gave him a sense of unprecedented comfort. This unique feedback was probably obtained by cultivating an ancestor dragon.

Upon seeing his ruddy and white hands, he could not but help shake his head. "I'm already handsome enough; there's really no need to keep reforming me."

The cub and the others turned to look at him together: ???

"Roar~"

Ah Bai, I love you! I'll follow you forever and ensure your safety~

The blood-colored figure swimming in the lake leaned onto him. It looked at him with its black orbs as big as a bull's eye and gently pressed its head against his chest. Su Bai glanced down at it and saw his reflection in its pure eyes.

"Haha! This is your destiny; I only discovered you and helped you out a little."

Su Bai caressed its head and chuckled.

Following the Little Bloodworm's transformation into a four-clawed dragon, it had nearly grown ten meters long. It had ruby-like crystal-clear scales, blood-red horns, and dragon whiskers. Its appearance resembled a mystical dragon carved from a large piece of super ruby.

Although it had just been born, the aura around its body was fierce and domineering, very much like that of an ancient beast. It was mysterious, powerful, terrifying, and difficult to provoke.

"Can you sneak us out of here?" Su Bai asked his blood dragon. He did not have time to check its specific data or the skills he had acquired through their bond.

The most important thing now was to sneak out of this place, or else it would be too awkward to be surrounded later. As long as he went out and kept his pet in his contract book, no one would know about this matter.

"Roar~(∩▽∩)"

Ah Bai, you can ride on my back; I'll bring you out of here. It's almost impossible for them to find me in this lake of blood.

The dragon blinked and told him.

"Then are we leaving this dragon cocoon behind? It seems very precious." He pointed at the scarlet cocoon, where his pet had just hatched from. He did not want to leave this good stuff for others, nor did he want others to find out about his newly hatched dragon.

"Roar~"

The little dragon opened its mouth and released a blood breath. The huge scarlet cocoon slowly melted under its breath and finally turned into a basketball-size crystal.

Su Bai reached out and put it into his backpack. He then opened his contract book and temporarily kept the cub, the little dino, and the baby fox into it.

"Let's go."

He rode on the dragon's back and felt its smooth and warm scales before adjusting himself into a comfortable position.

"Snort~"

The little dragon softly snorted before turning into a blood shadow which shuttled in the lake.
