Just as the Six Corpse appeared, they saw the remaining seven heads of Orochi launching an attack against Alpha. Instantly, they formed a formation to start resisting.
Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, darkness.
The Six Corpse turned to their respective restrained properties, exerting all their abilities. Orochi’s attack was successfully blocked.
However, the level of Six Corpse was ultimately too low. Even with the counteractive properties, they were struggling to keep up with the energy value, and they began to show signs of weariness.
At this moment, the Rune Mark in Alpha’s palm flickered, and the rune array on the Six Corpse also flashed, surprisingly restoring their energy value.
Energy transmission.
This was an ability that Alpha had recently perfected, that allowed him to distribute his own energy value to the Six Corpse through a contract, aiding in their attacks.
Correspondingly, Alpha could withdraw energy from the Six Corpse using this ability.
In other words, with Six Corpse present, Alpha essentially added six mobile power charging points and output terminals.
Unfortunately, the teachers opposed it, and Bai Qi didn’t want to take the risk of a slave contract backlash. Otherwise, he really wanted Alpha to enter into a contract with hundreds of skeleton soldiers, promote directly to the Undead King, and dominate the field.
As Six Corpse was being constrained, Orochi’s advantage was suddenly obliterated. Meanwhile, Alpha seized the opportunity to get close and swiftly beheaded two more heads. The speed of decay from the Power of Death had also gradually increased.
After losing three heads in a row, Tian Zhong realized how difficult Alpha was. He immediately tried to retrieve Orochi, but a complicated Rune Mark surfaced between his brows. Tian Zhong’s movements also came to a halt.
Was that a slave contract?
Bai Qi immediately recognized the contract on Tian Zhong’s forehead and became cautious.
If Alpha could transmit energy to Six Corpse through a contract, a Beast Soul Warrior’s owner could do the same. Having a Beast Soul Warrior, equivalent to a Four Stage one, as a servant, meant that the Beast Soul Warrior behind it was at least at the Fifth Stage.
Or even higher!
On the other side, Bai Qiucha, who was also beating up the tiger-headed python, encountered a similar situation. Both of them simultaneously gave up their current advantage and quickly regrouped.
“Be careful. The beast that enters into a contract with them can control two people, and it must be nearby. We’d better act quickly.”
Bai Qiucha’s face was serious. Although it’s unlikely for a Legend to come, encountering a King-Level creature could be disastrous. Before comprehending the view of the King, the pets of different departments would indeed suffer a lot.
Hissss…
Soon, along with a chilling sound, a necklace around Tian Zhong’s neck wriggled like a snake, slowly coiling up to Tian Zhong’s forehead. Tian Zhong’s initially pained expression had abruptly disappeared, replaced by a cold and evil look.
“Two pieces of trash dare to take back a polluted soul, do you want to kill me?!”
“Tian Zhong” cursed a few times and then looked towards Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha, without hiding his greed.
“But you two defeated them, your qualifications are certainly stronger, and with your souls to nourish me, I will definitely become the first to reach the king level in the tribe! Hahaha…”
It’s not… King Level-
Looking at “Tian Zhong” who was laughing wildly, Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha’s expressions changed abruptly, and their watchful eyes turned weird.
“Should we attack? This fool doesn’t look too smart.”
“No rush, he seems to be at the Fifth Stage, let’s wait until the main body arrives.”
“Isn’t that too risky?”
“What’s there to be afraid of? Isn’t the Blood Scythe Wraith still around?”
“Okay…”
Seeing the two discussing privately, “Tian Zhong” raised his head arrogantly, “Come on, join our Black Python Tribe, I can sign an equal contract with you, and your pets can receive the protection of the Black Python Tribe.”
As he spoke, the poisonous snake necklace also raised its head, revealing two fangs engraved with intricate runes.
“As long as it bites you once, you can obtain the power bestowed by me, a power you would never otherwise come into contact with… huh, what are you doing!”
“Tian Zhong” didn’t even finish his sentence when he saw Alpha swiftly beheading all the heads of Orochi, after which the Orochi was thoroughly corroded by the Power of Death and then vanished.
As the Orochi disappeared, “Tian Zhong” was also affected. The originally high head of the poisonous snake necklace drooped down, as though it was losing signal.
However, shortly after, Bai Qi and the others heard the sound of stone pillars collapsing, and then a python as large as a skyscraper appeared before them.
[Name]: Blackwater Python
[Nature]: Water Department
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Lord
“How dare you interrupt your Lord Black Pipe’s speech! You’re not qualified to become my Beast Soul Warriors. Just be my sacrifices!”
After that, Lord Black Pipe opened his big mouth and spat out a stream of pitch-black venom, covering the two of them.
But before the venom could even land, I green net appeared and wrapped up all the venom spat out by Lord Black Pipe, then transforming into a giant slime.
Crunch, crunch…
(Master, Gamma is feeling a bit overfed.)
Even though Gamma was absorbing the venom from the Black-like Python with all his might, venom occasionally leaked out. However, he had no intentions of letting go. Instead, he absorbed even faster.
As a food lover, not wasting food was a fundamental principle.
“What on earth is THIS?!”
Witnessing the absorption of its venom by a lowly slime, the fury of the Blacklike Python completely exploded. It intended to swallow Gamma directly.
At this moment, the Skeleton Dragon descended from the sky and stomped on the Black-like Python’s head, pressing it down, quickly followed by a standard dragon’s breath, fully roasting the Python’s skull.
Even though the Black-like Python was a Fifth Stage creature, its bloodline level still remained that of a lord.
In other words, the Black-like Python’s maximum advantage consisted only of the basic stats of a Fifth Stage creature.
But for them, these discrepancies were not considered discrepancies.
“Humans, you have completely enraged me!”
The Skeleton Dragon rode over its face, and the Black-like Python collapsed completely. The Rune mark on its forehead flashed once, and Tian Zhong and He Shang’s spirits floated up with a streak of light, merging into the Python’s body.
In an instant, the Python’s power surged, and its body twisted madly trying to shake off the Skeleton Dragon. Its spiny tail directly swung towards the Skeleton Dragon.
However, the Skeleton Dragon’s stats were not to be easily surpassed. Even though it was one stage lower than the Python, the difference wasn’t significant, so it also countered with a tail attack.
BANG!
Upon impact, the spines on the Python’s tail shattered. In contrast, the Skeleton Dragon remained unscathed, its ethereal flesh appeared stronger, and its power increased, pressing down the emerging Python.
“Cha, were you hiding your strength before, I never saw you this violent?
Bai Qi, astonished, turned towards the Skeleton Dragon that effortlessly subdued the Black-like Python.
“Although the Skeleton Dragon takes up all my contract slots, correspondingly, I can unleash the power of the Skeleton Dragon based on my needs. There’s a price later, though.”
Summoning the spirit body or releasing the power of the Skeleton Dragon was no small feat. It tested both his physical and spiritual aptitude. If the battle lasted longer, it would be taxing.
Bai Qi understood the explanation. Other Beast Masters were leveling up, Cha the Soul Communicator, was remembering passwords occasionally used to force decryptions.
However, such abilities obviously come with a cost. Therefore, Bai Qi immediately instructed the Alpha, who quickly located the weak point of the Black-like Python.
Bai Qi wasn’t sure if that was the vital point. He made Alpha locate a relatively weak spot and turned Alpha into a razor-like drill. Using the Power of Death as a primary weapon, it forcefully drilled into the Black-like Python.
“No, you damn people, if I die, the Black Python Tribe will immediately track you down!”
Feeling the proximity of Alpha, who was inside it, the Black-like Python squirmed in pain, cursing aloud.
“Got it, we’ll hit and run.”
Bai Qi nodded knowingly, snapped his fingers, and Alpha, wreaking havoc within the Python, got the hint immediately. Directly using the Blade of Death to stab at the Python’s brain.
Even though the Death Power could not be extracted, it didn’t mean the Blade of Death couldn’t amuse them.
Having been stabbed by the Blade of Death, the Python lost consciousness instantly. Bai Qi immediately summoned Alpha back and signaled Bai Qiucha to remove the parts of the Python infected by the Power of Death.
It may not have been a King-level creature, but the Python was at the Fifth Stage. Properly treated parts from its body could sell for a decent amount.
The two barely managed to deal with the Python’s corpse, then turned their attention to Tian Zhong and He Shang, the Beast Soul warriors.
They had been completely drained of their energy, their painful expressions frozen onto their faces.
Bai Qi could understand a bit of the pain from being drained of all energy and spirit. But it seemed that there was still a significant difference.
The tyranny of the Slave Contract was somewhat surprising to Bai Qi. He understood why Bai Heguang prevented him from researching it too deeply.
“We are indeed fortunate that our predecessors, like the Emperor, struggled hard, otherwise, we might have ended up as one of them.”
Looking at the two dead men, Bai Qi felt a bit lucky. If he had traversed time a bit earlier or if he had been born in a slightly different location, it would have made a world of difference.
Indeed, one’s birth is a matter of technique.
Bai Qi looked at the two of them, planning to ask Bai Qiucha to cremate them, and then noticed the Poison Snake necklace on their heads, promptly stopping Bai Qiucha.
“Didn’t that fellow just say that the necklace was used to establish the Slave Contract?”
Bai Qiucha was taken aback and said, “Exactly, but this thing is custom tailored, using beast souls as a nucleus—we can’t use it.”
Bai Qi shook his head and said, “No worries, I just want to use it as a reference.”
Able to contract remotely and control—the Ferocious Beast Tribe certainly had not wasted their years.
Well… It can be borrowed and learned from.
Right, borrowed!
