“What’s the matter?”
Su Bai asked indifferently without any expression on his face.
“It’s nothing; don’t be afraid. I’m not that scary.” Elder Tong laughed. “I know your Thousand-face Fox is very rare, but I promise that it’ll be safe here; I’ll only use it for a little while.”
“Elder Tong, if you need a fantasy pet so badly, I can go out and find you a pet with similar attributes that’s no worse than mine.
“I need my pet to participate in a competition, so she can’t possibly stay here.”
Su Bai smiled and explained.
Elder Tong remained silent and fell into a long contemplation.
Ah Bai, don’t listen to this old man. He has sealed the consciousness of my senior, the Nine-tailed Magic Fox.
When I broke through moments ago, I sensed that its consciousness had been sealed.
At this moment, the Mewling Fox suddenly sent a telepathic message to him.
If the consciousness of the Nine-tailed Magic Fox was sealed, then this old man was truly alive and not being controlled. On the other hand, he was the one controlling the Nine-tailed Magic Fox and sealing it up. This really put Su Bai in a desperate situation.
He was helpless for a while and did not know if it would be useful to use his master’s big name.
He estimated that it was highly likely to be useless. Such a big boss would never be intimidated by his background.
“I’ll give you one hundred million to put your pet in my temporary foster care.
“With that money, you can buy a lot of resources and won’t have to worry about raising your pets. You won’t lose anything, either; I’ll let people return the pet to you in a few days.”
Elder Tong broke his silence and spoke again.
He did not speak and asked the Mewling Fox through their spiritual connection, Can you communicate with the consciousness of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox?
Hing… No, I can only perceive that its consciousness had been sealed by a powerful force.
Seeing that he had not responded for a long time, the old man said, “If you think that that sum isn’t enough, I can give you one billion. I really need your fantasy pet.”
“It’s not a matter of money. I have the legendary Vow of Void here; as long as you promise not to hurt my baby fox, then I can lend it to you for free.”
Su Bai stared at the old man.
“The Vow of Void…” Elder Tong’s pupils shrank slightly, and the corners of his eyes also wrinkled.
“Haha! It’s a joke.” He laughed and spoke without giving the old man a chance to do so. “I really don’t want to be separated from my pet. As the elder, just let me go, and we shall mind our own business.”
“I already said that I won’t let anything happen to your pet; why won’t you believe me?” The elderly appraiser glanced at him.
“You’re planning to keep my fox here, aren’t you? Can I take it that I won’t get to leave if I don’t agree to letting my pet stay?”
Su Bai’s smile faded suddenly and he asked coldly.
“So what? You don’t know what’s good for you!” Elder Tong’s eyes narrowed, revealing a trace of killing intent. “It’s just a silly pet. There are so many in the world. As long as you’re willing to hand it over, I’ll give you the amount of one billion.
“You’re young and have a bright future ahead of you. Why bother ruining yourself over a beast?”
Su Bai’s fantasy pet was so perfect that he simply did not want to let it go. With this pet, he was confident of controlling the Nine-tailed Magic Fox and contracting it, even increasing its strength.
The body of the Nine-tailed Magic Fox had been silent for too long and had already broken down.
He just did not understand why this boy was being so stubborn. He had dished out such a great benefit, but he still did not want to let the pet go.
“You’ve revealed your true colors now, you sly old man. Although your offer is very tempting, I’ll never give up my pet! They’re not tools that can be abandoned at will.”
Su Bai picked up the Mewling Fox and sneered coldly.
Although money was indeed attractive, he could not change his bottom line.
“There may be pets like mine in this world even though they’re rare. Why do you insist on having this one?
“Can I take it that you’re unable to leave this space?
“In fact, I know your purpose. You’re doing all this not to obtain crystal cores but to possess the true dream power. Once resurrected, the Nine-tailed Magic Fox may break through to the emperor level and reach the sovereign level. It even has the opportunity to continue breaking through until it becomes an exceptional god pet.
“According to my supposition, this was a Nine-tailed Magic Fox that had reached the peak of the emperor rank and also the pinnacle of comprehension of the fantasy law.
“It couldn’t reach the highest realm of the fantasy attribute by itself, so it sought the Eternally Miraculous Beauty, which represents the eternal miracle among the four legendary creations, to realize its wish.
“Out of luck ,it found the Eternally Miraculous Beauty in this altar and said its wish.
“The Eternally Miraculous Beauty helped it reach the highest state of fantasy and reality but took away its precious life in return.
“However, at its final moment before death, it created a real fantasy with its dream power in an attempt to resurrect later on.
“It didn’t expect to meet you just when it was about to succeed, though.
“The struggle between you two resulted in a unilateral restriction. Unable to leave this place, you’ve fallen into a state of anxiety.
“Still, you’re a senior egg appraiser, so you found a high-level method to deal with this. In an attempt to subdue the Nine-tailed Magic Fox, you’ve sealed its will and consciousness.
“After so many years, its dream power is almost complete and is just a step away from saturation.
“Just as your big plan is about to succeed, the saturated origin of my pet gave you a pleasant surprise.
“Now, you not only want to use its dream power but also integrate it with the Nine-tailed Magic Fox’s, of which the body is severely broken down. You want to create a new body for it, right?”
Su Bai’s words shocked Elder Tong to no end. He never imagined that his plan would be guessed by such a mere youth. How did this boy find out? He really could not figure it out.
Just when he was shocked by the boy’s words, Su Bai suddenly shouted, “First Dragon Blood!”
A contract book appeared out of thin air, and a blood-colored figure appeared beside him.
“Roar!”
With a guttural chant, the endless bloody breath of a dragon enveloped the huge body of the Nine-tailed Magic Fox.
“A blood dragon!” Elder Tong’s eyes widened at the sight of this huge dragon. This young lad not only had a Thousand-face Fox with intact origin but also a blood dragon which had never appeared before. How was this possible?
“Soul-sealing Beast, interrupt him!” Although Elder Tong did not know what the blood-colored Dragon Soul was, he still chose to interrupt it.
Still, he was delighted. Not only could he conquer the Nine-tailed Magic Fox, he could also obtain a never-before-seen blood dragon.
“Your pet is pretty good, but its level is too low. Originally, you only need to hand over your Thousand-face Fox to leave, but now I’ll have to keep you here.”
Elder Tong smiled.
The ground shook and a black Giant Ape revealed itself. Its huge head was rid of all facial features except for one large dreamy eye.
Its emperor aura gave Su Bai a suffocating feeling, but fortunately, he had trained beforehand and could resist it.
Little Blood Dragon, open the Sea of Blood.
Su Bai instantly sent a telepathic message to his pet. The situation was worse than he imagined. This old man actually had an emperor Soul-sealing Beast, and it was a one-eyed monster to boot.
The Soul-sealing Beast was a very terrifying monster that only feasted on souls.
The potential of a Soul-sealing Beast depended on how many eyes it had.
The lowest level had seven eyes, while the highest level with the most potential had one eye. It was rumored that ordinary people’s souls could be eaten just by exchanging eye contact with it.
After receiving his instructions, the baby dragon unleashed its Sea of Blood. Blue-white lights shot from the Soul-sealing Beast’s eyes and hit it.
These lights turned into chains and bound the latter, rendering it immobile.
“Blow yourself up. Don’t let its seal chains invade your body,” he said hurriedly.
With a bang, the Little Blood Dragon’s body turned into countless fragments of dust. It did not hesitate at all to follow its owner’s order.
After it died, the blue-white chains also disappeared into thin air.
However, the Sea of Blood remained tumbling, and the blood dragon’s body condensed again. Its breath also became more solidified.
The blood sea shrank from one hundred to eighty meters, though.
“Wow, it can actually break free like that! The outside world must be in a frenzy now that an Ancestor Blood Dragon has appeared. It seems that lady luck is shining on me.”
Elder Tong looked at the dragon with increasing satisfaction. It was already so powerful as a high-level warlord, so if it was a high-level monarch, it might be able to fight the Soul-sealing Beast.
At this moment, dazzling blood burst out from the Nine-tailed Magic Fox’s body, and its originally dry and skinny body quickly turned plump.
As rays of light flowed, its originally nine white tails turned blood-red, and three giant tails also grew. Now, it had a total of twelve tails.
A blood-colored horn grew on top of its head, and its body was wrapped in scarlet streamers. The dream power in the surroundings also returned to its body at an incredible speed, instantly breaking through from the emperor level to sovereign level.
Immediately after, a clear sound, which resembled the breaking of an ice cube, sounded. It was the sound of the seal breaking. The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox opened its eyes and revealed a pair of blood-colored pupils.
“Howl~”
It raised its head to the sky and howled for a long time, staring at the old man with bone-deep loathing.
“F*ck! How could this be possible? Its soul was sealed by the Soul-sealing Beast!”
Upon feeling the terrifying aura of a sovereign, Elder Tong’s eyes widened and grew larger than a ping-pong ball. How was this possible?
Without external treasures to supplement its origin, it was absolutely impossible for the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox to reach the emperor level when it was resurrected. How could it have directly broken through to the sovereign level even?
“Wait, it’s that Dragon Breath, right? What kind of skill was it?”
Elder Tong suddenly came to a realization. He originally thought that it was an attack skill, but it did not seem the case now.
“Yes, it’s that. Await your death!” Su Bai sneered coldly.
They could have resolved this peacefully and gone their separate ways, but the old man just had to insist on coveting his Mewling Fox. He had no other choice but to let him seek his own death.
He would never give up his own pet. Whoever dared to target his pet was seeking their death.
The reason why he said so much nonsense was to attract the old man’s attention and let his dragon use the First Dragon Blood skill.
Under normal circumstances, due to the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox being on a much higher level than the dragon, making the former the latter’s descendant was impossible.
However, if the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox actively accepted it, then it would definitely succeed. Furthermore, the special and peculiar bloodline power would quickly stimulate its power, replenishing its body and making it transform.
With the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox’s active cooperation, all this happened in an instant.
He was not afraid that the transformed Twelve-tailed Magic Fox would attack him, for it was now a blood subordinate of his dragon pet and was harmless to him. This was the bondage skill of the Dragon Soul.
In addition, his pet had the ability to withdraw these powers, so he had the capital to negotiate with the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox.
“You’re seeking death!”
Elder Tong’s face twisted in rage. His long-term plan had suddenly been destroyed by this b*st*rd.
“Howl~”
However, the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox did not give him a chance to speak further and struck forward with its bloody dreamy breath.
At this critical moment, Elder Tong’s contract book flashed, and he reappeared in another space to avoid the attack.
With a bang, the entire underground space was completely shattered, and the huge bodies of the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox and the Soul-sealing Beast were revealed. The emperor and sovereign auras rushed into the sky, causing a group of people in the middle of the distant grassland to fall back onto the ground in shock.
“F*ck, what a terrifying aura!”
“Has the Nine-tailed Magic Fox been resurrected? It has twelve tails now. What the f*ck? Let’s escape!”
The group of people got up and ran, thinking that staying here was obviously having a death wish.
“Hou Lan, what are you being dazed for? Run quickly!” Luo Xia saw the man still frozen in place and pulled him up.
“No, Su Bai is still inside.” Hou Lan watched the two terrifying pets in the distance and refused to leave. “I brought him here; I must be responsible.”
“It’s such a strong battle fluctuation; he should already be dead. There’s no need to go over and watch.”
“No. You can leave first; I’ll go over and see. I brought him here, so I must be responsible till the end.”
Shaking his head, Hou Lan unleashed the Big Ray and flew toward the battlefield.
“Hey—forget it!”
Luo Xia shook her head and turned to leave. Although she admired the man very much, she still would not send herself to her death knowingly.
“Roar!”
The Soul-sealing Beast let out a deafening angry roar, and shot a bucket-thick blue-white streamer from his eyes.
A trace of disdain was revealed in the blood-colored eyes of the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox, and the spiritual power around its body instantly turned into a hundred different clones to surround the Soul-sealing Beast.
Instead of causing damage to the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox, the Soul-sealing Beast was surrounded. The fantasy quickly turned into dreamy chains, which penetrated the Soul-sealing Beast, controlling it.
“Roar!”
The Soul-sealing Beast exuded a fantasy-breaking light, a skill specifically used to restrain
fantasy.
What stunned it was that after the fantasy-breaking light dispersed, the ninety-nine dream chains did not disappear at all and plunged directly into its body, instead.
This chain was obviously illusory; it was a spirit attribute monster, so it could not have misread it.
“Soul-sealing Beast, let’s retreat!”
At this moment, Elder Tong suddenly ordered his pet. The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox had mastered the power of fantasy and reality and was beyond the Soul-sealing Beast’s capabilities.
It was still fine if there was another emperor pet, but none of his other pets was unfortunately at that level.
However, the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox could not possibly give him a chance to escape. With a flash of its figure, it appeared directly in front of the Soul-sealing Beast and slashed it with its sharp claws.
The Soul-sealing Beast, which was still processing the chains that had entered its body, could only reluctantly hold up a transparent shield wall as it moved its body.
However, the dream chains greatly restricted its power and mobility. The shield wall was torn to shreds by the fox’s claws, and with a puff, half of the Soul-sealing Beast’s arm and its entire chest were directly torn apart.
“Roar…”
Accompanied by its painful cry, faint blue blood spilled on earth.
At this time, a ray of light shone through. Elder Tong directly opened his contract book and kept the Soul-sealing Beast.
“Little boy, you ruined my plans; I’ll note down my revenge.”
The old man turned around and glared at him with much loathing.
He then rode on the back of a silver monarch Silver Crane. With a flick of its wings, a space force burst forth. It then rushed and disappeared in an instant.
The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox let out an angry roar. The dream power undulated on its body as it directly gave chase.
“Hey, you must kill that guy!” yelled Su Bai quickly.
