Starting With Contract Pets
chapter-198

In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning. Su Bai got up early, and just after breakfast, Gao An arrived.

"Master." He hurriedly saluted the moment the old man landed.

"Hello, master." Chen Ruoxue also greeted the elderly chairman.

Glancing at the two of them, Gao An waved his hand and said, "Pour me a cup of tea; we'll set out after drinking it."

"Yes." Shepoured Purple Sparrow Tea into three clean tea cups.

She had just brewed the tea to enjoy it with Su Bai moments ago.

"This tea is really refreshing; it's not bad…" Gao An took a sip and said with satisfaction.

The feeling of enlightenment and promotion caused by the Purple Sparrow Tea was hard to refuse.

"Ruoxue, do you have a spiritual seal? If not, I can cast one on you. Unless it's voluntary, no one can spy on your secrets, and you needn't be afraid of mental attacks, either." He glanced at the girl.

She nodded at Su Bai, who also nodded gently.

"Thank you, master." Chen Ruoxue confirmed and quickly thanked Gao An.

"Haha! Okay."

The elderly chairman laughed loudly and summoned his contract book to release his Algae pet. A terrifying spiritual force circulated in the air, which turned into a seal that penetrated Chen Ruoxue's spiritual sea.

A transparent shield then shrouded the spiritual sea of hers.

"Thank you, master." Chen Ruoxue immediately felt the difference and thanked the old man again.

"It's a small matter." Gao An waved his hand before speaking. "Let's go to the Kraken's nest."

"Okay, master." Su Bai had already kept his pets in his contract book.

As his master got up and walked out, he took his girlfriend's hand and followed behind.

Chen Ruoxue walked abreast with him while looking curious. Judging by the looks of the two men, this Kraken's nest was probably nearby, was it not?

When they arrived on the balcony, the Algae unleashed a shield to cover the three people and then headed for the Construct Reservoir.

"It's really in the Construct Reservoir?" she exclaimed in disbelief.

"Is it in the reservoir's space crack?" Chen Ruoxue asked again. She would be a fool if she still could not guess it.

"Yeah, isn't it surprising? Actually, I've just discovered it not too long ago." said Su Bai while kneading her small hand.

She did not get angry and allowed him to do so. They were already husband and wife to her. Also, her attention was focused ahead.

She had never seen a Kraken's nest before.

With the Algae, the three quickly passed through the space crack and came to the bottom of the deep-ocean abyss.

Then, in a flash, they arrived above the ocean.

"This… this is huge! There are so many!"

Looking at the numerous Giant Krakens cruising in the sea and the sky, her small mouth formed an 'O' shape. She was completely shocked by this scene.

These Krakens were colossal and also exuded a terrifying aura.

What she could not imagine most was that this humongous Kraken's nest was connected to the Construct Reservoir.

Su Bai was also carefully observing the area. Last time, they mainly observed the situation in this world and had not actually studied the nest carefully.

They had not gone close to the center of the Kraken's nest before, either. Now, they were above the center, that was, above the back of the Giant Kraken which was floating in the sea.

Today, the land on the back of the giant kun was in a mess, and various Krakens were presently lying helplessly like salted fish on land.

The plants on land grew very fast under the strong spiritual energy, but every time they just grew, the Krakens nearby would open their mouths to swallow them whole.

Some poor Krakens were even gnawing the soil, while some were drinking water. They just wanted to eat everything that could be eaten as they were too hungry.

At the heart of the mainland, Su Bai spotted a huge concave-shaped nest, about a thousand meters in diameter. It was surrounded by spirit crystals, and the rich aura turned into white mist.

However, no Kraken made any effort to move to the place. They continued eating the soil and gnawing on the trees.

None of them coveted the nest at the heart.

Su Bai guessed that it should be where Kraken eggs were stored and hatched.

As for the one guarding next to the Kraken's nest, it should be their king, for it occupied a lot of territory by itself.

It was more than ten times that of other Krakens.

"This should be the Giant Kraken King; it looks so good." Chen Ruoxue came back to her senses and pointed to the big guy near the center of the Kraken's nest.

"I think so, too. Is it, master?" Su Bai asked.

The kun was nearly a kilometer in size, and its whole body was blue and white, with a single horn on top of its head. There seemed to be starlight and the Milky Way flowing in it.

It looked very similar to the Kraken which sat under the Cloud Dream Builder character in King of Glory.

This fellow had a combination of water and space. It lay directly on a big river with its mouth wide open, swallowing all the water in the entire river.

From time to time, it would gnaw on a newly grown forest to curb its hunger.

"That's right. That guy is their king. Don't be deceived by its wasted appearance. In fact, its strength has reached the sovereign grade and its size is much larger, too.

"It has just sealed itself. I'm going to reveal its true size now, so be careful."

With that, the entire Algae transformed into a giant purple Kraken with a diameter of one thousand meters.

It was one-tenth of the Algae's form as a Giant Kraken.

Its breath reached the peak of a sovereign pet in an instant.

In fact, this was not its complete body. Although its complete body strength was also at the peak sovereign grade, its total amount of spiritual power was different in all aspects.

Upon the appearance of the Algae's breath, the Krakens in the nest immediately stiffened. Terrifying aura burst forth from their bodies, and they surrounded the Algae.

Puff!

This terrifying and powerful aura just appeared and formed a huge storm.

The hurricane in the sky raged, and the sea surged.

Su Bai and Chen Ruoxue shivered. Every aura here was at least the emperor grade.

The two were trembling at the formidable strength.

Although the Algae resisted most of this breath coercion, their palms still perspired as cold sweats broke on their backs.

Who are you? Where did you come from?

The king of the blue-white giant kuns sent out an invisible telepathic wave.

"It doesn't matter where I came from; what's important is that I can bring you food—a cornucopia of food," Gao An glanced at the blue-white Giant Kraken and said.

"If you don't have food, you won't be able to live long, will you? All your sources have been depleted."

He raised his hand to open the contract book and released thousands of monarch monsters.

The moment the monsters were thrown down, they were divided by these Krakens. After eating them, they looked up at Gao An eagerly. They had been hungry for too long, and this was not enough to fill their bellies.

What do you need us to do? Help you fight? Sign a contract with you?

King kun looked at Gao An. When it discovered the strength of the old man seated on the Algae, it knew that their species had no choice.

The reason why they could survive while at death's door was their lack of origin, so it was almost impossible to keep the opponent at bay.

Many pureblooded Krakens were here, but most of them had disappeared over the years.

They had either died or turned into Kraken eggs.

"Of course, it's to help me fight. You must sign a contract with me. I promise to make you prosper, have endless food, and never have to suffer from hunger.

"You don't have to follow me after you help me fight; you can come back here and continue being the king."

After Gao An finished speaking, he threw out hundreds of monarch monsters again.

They were gobbled up in an instant.

Su Bai had no objection to Gao An's approach. The king must be controlled, and his present level was not sufficient to make a contract with it, so only Gao An could contract it.

I'm willing to sign a contract with you under my title as the Giant Kraken King, as long as we don't starve to death. The Giant Kraken King agreed without much hesitation.

Was it not waiting for death if it disagreed?

"I, Gao An, promise to let you eat to the point of bursting and not starve to death." The old man nodded and made this promise. He summoned his amethyst contract book, and a binding law was materialized from between the pages.

Seeing the contract that flew to it, the Giant Kraken King did not resist and accepted it with pleasure.

With a flash of light, the contract was completed.

"Hahaha! This is a meeting gift for you and your kind."

Gao An let out a big laugh and immediately dropped hundreds of emperor monsters.

Seeing these emperor monsters, Su Bai and Chen Ruoxue could not help but feel quite distressed. How could these emperor monsters be used as feed?

Thank you, master. Whatever the master wants, it will be the direction of my battle!

The Giant Kraken King crawled down, extremely humble.

The other Krakens, which had eaten the monsters, also squatted and roared.

"No, no, no. My apprentice is the one you should be most grateful to. He discovered you first and then notified me. Without him, you might still be starving." Gao An pointed to Su Bai.

Thank you for saving my Kraken clan that was in dire straits, young master. The Kraken eggs in the nest are for you to choose from at will.

The Giant Kraken King once again sent a telepathic wave of message.

"Haha! Thank you, senior kun." Su Bai quickly thanked the monster and then he took Chen Ruoxue to the nest to select a Kraken egg.

"Wow, these eggs are huge!" she exclaimed when she walked inside.

Su Bai was also a little shocked. There were about four to five hundred eggs in the huge nest.

These eggs could be said to be the largest they had ever seen. Each one was two meters high and had different colors, but they all exuded powerful breaths of life.

"Su Bai, the middle one should be the Giant Kraken King's egg. Take it.

"Just choose a wood-attribute egg for me," Chen Ruoxue looked around and said after recovering from her shock.

"Actually, there's no such thing as a Giant Kraken King egg. The quality of the eggs in the middle is identical; you can take them at will," Gao An walked over and said.

"Then I'll take this one." Chen Ruoxue jumped off her Ice Dragon's back and landed beside a giant green egg.

"Then I want the middle one." Su Bai nodded. The quality of these eggs was indeed the same.

"But I must trouble master in helping us bring it back," he requested.

"You don't need to take it back; just hatch it here," Gao An said.

"Hatch it here? Don't we need to configure incubation fluids or something?"

"Hmph. Have you ever seen any kind of fluid that's better than natural essence?" Gao An rolled his eyes.

"Haha! You're right." Su Bai patted his head sheepishly.

In fact, he wanted to bring them back so that he could replenish their lost origins, but it did not matter if he skipped doing so, for these Krakens were originally very unique creatures. Therefore, they could slowly replenish their origins themselves just by swallowing food non-stop.

"Alright, drip your blood on it. I'll ask the Giant Kraken King to come over and hatch it with a bit of origin," Gao An said very happily.

This Kraken's nest was very timely. With the support of this nest, his odds at winning the battle outside had improved by a big margin.

Without hesitation, Su Bai directly bit his finger and dripped his blood onto his chosen egg. He opened the contract page and punched in the binding law.

Gao An nodded and flew out. Not long after, two Giant Krakens came over, one was the Giant Kraken King and the other was a blue Giant Kraken.

The blue Giant Kraken with an entirely green flesh was also a sovereign. It resembled a whale, and although its breath was not as strong as the king's, it was terrifying enough.

They were the parents of these two eggs.

Giant Krakens were hermaphrodite and could choose to self-breed or hybridize.

Both of these eggs were obviously the product of self-breeding.

They glanced at Su Bai and Chen Ruoxue and opened their mouths to spit out a strong source of origin which surrounded the two eggs. The spiritual power around them also gathered.

This was the beginning of incubation.

"Thank you, seniors."

They both thanked the two Krakens.

"You two stay here. The eggs will hatch in about two or three days. I'll take some Krakens away first and then come back," Gao An glanced at the two and said.

"Okay."

Nodding, Su Bai handed him the card which could open the manor's shield.

The old man nodded and turned to leave.

Only the couple remained after.

"When did you discover this Kraken's nest?" Chen Ruoxue leaned on him and asked.

"The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox discovered it after I tricked her over."

"Then you're really lucky. If not for this, you probably wouldn't find this Kraken's nest even now."

"Yes, I was really lucky. I wanted to wait until I was strong enough to explore this on my own, but after thinking about it, it's better to obtain a Kraken as our trump card first."

"It's definitely better to obtain one first."

Chen Ruoxue sighed. "This time I've taken advantage of you again. I feel like you're providing for me."

"If you think so, then we can get married when we go out. That way, there won't be such a psychological burden." He chuckled.

"If you want to, I'll go home and steal my family's registration certificate." She glanced at him and laughed.

"Haha! You don't have to. I don't believe that your mother will reject me if I propose marriage to you," Su Bai laughed and said. "Come, let's clean up. We have to spend the night here."

He released his pets.
