Chapter 96 She Made a Contract with a Mutant Beast
A contract! A contract is a must! We need this unique mutant beast.
The comments make a good point. It's a free mount delivered right to our door, and its combat power looks pretty good. Whether it's a leopard or a bear, let's form a contract first.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Muyan tried to communicate with the bear and leopard in the black space.
"Leopard, lie down."
Inside the space, Xiong Bao obediently lay down, his gaze fixed on a certain spot, as if he could look Lin Muyan in the eye from afar.
"Leopard, bark twice and let me hear it."
"Roar—"
The howl, almost like that of a ferocious beast, reverberated twice in the space, causing the poultry and livestock to tremble in fear, and even the old hen that had laid half an egg to retract its shell.
After several more tests, the bear and leopard were able to obey her commands. Lin Muyan's eyes lit up, and she then released the bear and leopard.
The enormous mutated beast, much taller than her, was behaving more obediently in front of her than the little bastard at home.
It crouched down in front of Lin Muyan, rubbed its head against her face, and smeared blood all over her face.
Lin Muyan turned her face away in disgust, wondering how to make a contract.
The viewers in the live chat didn't seem to understand these things either.
She had only read about how to contract a magical beast in novels, but those were fantasy novels after all.
Just as Lin Muyan was troubled by this, Xiong Bao seemed to see through her thoughts and suddenly stood up.
The shadows fell and enveloped Lin Muyan. At this moment, she could no longer feel the terrifying aura she had felt at the beginning; the bear and leopard had become much more docile.
Suddenly, the bear-leopard opened its mouth wide towards Lin Muyan, its crimson tongue covered with barbs and stained with the blood and flesh left from its meal.
The next second, a red crystal core the size of an adult's fist popped out from deep in her throat and hovered in front of Lin Muyan.
Upon closer inspection, Lin Muyan almost drooled on the spot.
My goodness, what a huge fire element crystal core!
If I absorb and devour it, how much will my fire-type ability improve?
Lin Muyan's eyes burned with desire, filled with a yearning to become stronger; she desperately wanted to improve.
[Good heavens, this is the first time I've seen a crystal core with such explosive energy. This is a crystal core that only a level five mutated beast could produce.]
[Unexpectedly, Lin Muyan has struck gold again. She just awakened her fire-type ability, and now she's encountered a fire-type mutated beast. The two couldn't be more compatible!]
[Wait, look at Lin Muyan! This girl seems more interested in the crystal core. Is she planning to kill a beast for it?]
[How foolish! She can't absorb such a massive energy core right now. Besides, mutated beasts with conscious minds are rare. Does she even know how precious this leopard is?]
Lin Muyan naturally wouldn't actually kill the beast to get its core. Besides, she would have to be able to kill it first. The bear and leopard looked tough and thick-skinned. Even if they just stood there and didn't fight back, it would probably be difficult to kill them.
"roar--"
The bear roared gently at Lin Muyan, signaling her to retrieve her crystal core.
Lin Muyan stretched out her hands, and the crystal core landed in her palms. Before she could react, a few drops of blood inexplicably seeped from her palms and were absorbed by the crystal core.
The next second, the crystal core was absorbed back by the bear and leopard. At the same time, Lin Muyan felt a subtle connection being established between herself and the bear and leopard.
She blinked, finding the experience utterly unbelievable.
Just a few months ago, she was a modern, ambitious young woman sitting in a graduating class classroom, receiving career guidance.
However, right now, a fantastical scene that she never dared to imagine was unfolding before her.
None of my family members understand this; she actually made a contract with a post-apocalyptic mutant beast.
[It's done. The mutated beast itself initiated the contract. Is Lin Muyan's personal charisma really that great?]
Could it be that this bear-leopard is actually a glutton? Did it see so many prey kept in Lin Muyan's black space and follow her for a meal?
[What are you thinking? With its size, it could easily take down a child, no, an adult, in one bite. Why would it bind itself to humans for a few chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cows, and sheep in this space? The animal trap and the black space must have played a crucial role.]
[I guessed so. The purpose of the animal traps is definitely not just to carry poultry and livestock into the space. Moreover, if you look closely, the black space is actually divided into two areas. The area enclosed by the fence in the middle is probably for raising animals, while the rest of the open space is probably prepared for mutated beasts.]
[If mutated beasts can be caught, then what about zombies? Surely even zombies can be caught in a trap and brought into the space?]
[...]
Amidst the heated discussion in the live chat, Lin Muyan had already named the bear-leopard "A-Bao" and put it into her black space.
As I walked out of the private room, I happened to run into Ye Long, who was rushing over.
Ye Long was taken aback when he saw Lin Muyan, his face showing obvious surprise and doubt. He noticed that Lin Muyan's face was stained with blood, and he had a very strange feeling, as if her whole aura had changed.
"Your face..."
Lin Muyan wiped her face, deliberately avoiding the topic.
Where are you going?
Ye Long withdrew his probing gaze and made no attempt to hide anything.
“I contacted a few of my underlings to come and gather here. I plan to make this my base.”
Lin Muyan: "..."
That's exactly where he rose to power and became a gang leader, but...
"Do you have enough supplies? The high temperatures are far more brutal than you think, reaching seventy or eighty degrees Celsius."
Ye Long frowned, but his eyes couldn't hide his excitement.
"It's okay, I'm confident I'll survive."
Lin Muyan couldn't help but think more highly of Ye Long in her heart. Although this person was a bit immature and seemed overly excited about the apocalypse, as if he was looking forward to the end of the world.
But regardless, this is a stock with potential.
So she thought for a moment and said:
"Then I wish you good luck. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to my villa on the hillside. I'll be going now."
Although this place is quite far from the villa on the hillside, Lin Muyan didn't think Ye Long would take the initiative to find her, but she wouldn't lose anything by showing him some goodwill.
Ye Long nodded, and the two of them arrived at the entrance of the club together.
At this time, the outside temperature was approaching 60 degrees Celsius, and under the high temperature, even the air looked distorted.
Under the sun, it was hotter than a sauna.
At this moment, a large group of people suddenly drove up from not far from the club. They all looked fierce and menacing, and it was obvious that they were involved in the magic arts.
Lin Muyan twitched her lips. These are the few underlings Ye Long mentioned?
As expected of the young master of the Ye family with a triad background, the number of his underlings is quite impressive.
In some ways, population can be considered a resource in a post-apocalyptic world.
Although more people means more resources are needed, more people also mean more labor.
Once the mutation fully erupts, Ye Long's underlings will become very useful.
The underlings, drenched in sweat, rushed into the club to escape the heat, only to find a delicate-looking woman standing next to their boss.
Didn't the boss say it was going to be the end of the world?
Didn't the boss say that women would only slow down his sword-drawing speed?
Lin Muyan wasn't oblivious to the curiosity these people had about her. She waved goodbye to Ye Long and slowly walked into the sweltering heat.
She was surprised to find that the temperature was close to 60 degrees Celsius, yet she felt nothing.
[Before the high-temperature mode, she had just awakened her fire-type ability. As everyone knows, fire-type ability users are least afraid of high temperatures. Damn it, she got to enjoy it again.]
When have you ever seen her suffer?
Lin Muyan's lips curled up slightly. Why did she feel a little good?
