Chapter 404: Contract with the Gluttonous Monster! Great, it's the Swordsman

"What kind of monster is this?"

President Varian looked at the purple piglet that Ye Zhi was holding by the scruff of the neck and said in surprise, "I've never heard of this!"

This little purple pig is the gluttonous monster "Behemoth"... The truth is too shocking.

There is no need to make it public. Ye Zhi thought about the words, cleared his throat, and said:

"It should be a magical beast from the old era that has survived by chance and has the ability to control the elements of the earth, so it can create crop circles out of thin air..."

"So it looted all the food supplies?"

Varian was a little unbelievable, staring at Behemoth's round belly, and said in surprise:

"It's so small, can it really eat so much?"

"Don't worry, as long as we catch it, food won't disappear again in the future."

Ye Zhi said in an unquestionable tone: "Leave it to me to handle. I will report to King Roland!"

Varian nodded, with gratitude in his eyes, and said respectfully:

"As you command! Thank you again, Your Excellency the Duke!"

Ye Zhi nodded and said, "You go back first. I will think about how to deal with this monster."

"Yes!" Varian's back gradually disappeared into the night.

Ye Zhi looked at the purple beast in his hand and fell into deep thought.

The key to opening the realm is to borrow the power of the [Ring of the Nibelung].

And this magic ring requires the gathering of seven magic ritual objects.

It belongs to the classic Dragon Ball.

Currently, he already has the Blood King Spear [Envy], the Mammon Ring [Greed], the Morning Star Diamond [Pride] that has already appeared, and the Behemoth [Gluttony] in his hand. The whereabouts of the remaining three ritual objects are unknown...

Yeats pondered the original plot.

I still have the impression of the Ritual of Sloth... it was an invisibility cloak.

Put on the invisibility cloak and you will not be seen through by any detection spell. It is a hundred times more powerful than advanced invisibility.

The reason why it is related to the power of laziness is probably because, after becoming invisible, one can be lazy openly...

The invisibility cloak might be in the hands of the Assassin's League or the Thieves' Guild, so Ye Zhi decided to find a way to investigate the relevant information.

Right now, as long as you sign a pet contract with the gluttonous monster, you can gain the power of gluttony...

Ye Zhi suddenly realized a problem, that is, the other ritual vessels were all dead objects, only the Gluttony Ritual Vessel was alive——

"Do I have to throw this gluttonous beast into the furnace when I reforge the Ring of the Nibelung in the future?" Ye Zhi said in a strange tone.

"No, you just need the blood of the gluttonous monster." Mammon said calmly, "You can keep this pet, borrow its power, and find time to let it bleed..."

Pig blood?

Ye Zhi was slightly startled and looked at Behemoth.

It sounds... very tempting! Under the moonlight, the purple beast struggled in Ye Zhi's palm, and suddenly, it broke free from Ye Zhi's palm with its slippery fur! Ye Zhi was caught off guard and looked over unexpectedly, only to see Behemoth running like crazy in the wheat field.

"Behemoth" Wangyue screamed: "Ahhh——"

For freedom!

Pigs are rushing forward!

"Huh, you want to escape?"

Ye Zhi's eyes flashed, and a ball of shadow flame ignited in the palm of his hand. The black and purple flame spread, and a pitch-black spear condensed in the flame swaying in the wind.

Clang! Ye Zhi stretched out his hand and tightly grasped the Kayeberg! The moonlight was like a stream of light, and the gun body emitted a cold and cold light, and the air suddenly became murderous!

Suddenly, Yeats threw the spear out!

Whoosh——

The spear cut through the moonlit sky, whistling in the wind, and landed accurately an inch in front of the purple pig.

The tip of the gun was inserted into the wheat field, and the gun barrel was vibrating "buzzing"! "Ah!"

Behemoth was startled and trembled. He didn't dare to move forward. He drooped his ears, curled up and trembled.

That was a close call…I almost died!

Seeing the cowardly appearance of this gluttonous monster, Ye Zhi was speechless and asked Mammon:

"Can this thing really have one ten-thousandth of the power of Behemoth?"

Behemoth is the origin of the Behemoth, a world-destroying monster! In Genesis, its status is no worse than that of the giant fish "Bahamut" that carries the world on its back! Mammon said calmly: "It's just starving. As long as it has a good meal, it can recover some of its strength and transform into a living weapon!"

"Okay...I believe you!"

Ye Zhi stepped forward, lifted Behemoth Fate by the scruff of the neck, and looked at the little pig with drooping eyebrows and ears, while the soft white light of the [Beast Spirit Resonance] talent condensed in his palm.

For a moment, Yeats seemed to have a connection with Behemoth and felt its frustration.

Yeats actually saw Behemoth's past.

It came to the human world from an endless deep pit. It was starving and could only survive by stealing food from the trough in the pigsty. It was almost slaughtered by the farmer.

However, Behemoth actually knows how to restrain its own strength. It seems that the memory in its blood tells it that consuming strength will only accelerate hunger. Therefore, Behemoth rarely fights and usually lives on an omnivorous diet.

After all, the gluttonous beast has a large appetite and consumes enormous energy. Traveling through the planes has already consumed most of Behemoth's strength. It can be called a miracle that it can maintain its current size with less than one percent of "electricity".

At the same time, Behemoth also raised his eyes and looked at Ye Zhi in confusion and bewilderment.

"Your power is useful to me, so make a contract with me."

Ye Zhi got straight to the point and said, "As long as you become my magical pet, I will ensure that you are safe!"

Behemoth was surprisingly courageous. He raised his head and said, "Ah!"

I would rather be free than die! Rather than being bound by people and locked in a cage, it is better to be a wild animal!

Ye Zhi was stunned, amazed at Behemoth's high level of awareness. This pig was indeed not an ordinary pig! Just as he was stunned, Behemoth, relying on its slippery fur, actually slipped away from Ye Zhi's palm again.

"Wow, you run really fast!"

Ye Zhi looked at his palm in surprise, suspecting that Behemoth had learned superb escape skills during his years of stealing!

Looking closely, I saw a purple piglet running and crying in the wheat field under the bright moonlight.

The soundtrack of "Khaki Out of the Sky" seemed to ring in Yeats' ears.

Behemoth: "Ahhh!!"

Farewell, cage!

Ye Zhi used gentle tactics instead, accurately grasping Behemoth's psychology, and sent a message indifferently:

"Contract with me and I'll provide you with three meals a day."

Squeak——

The purple piglet was floating gracefully, its limbs leaving a trail in the wheat field, and it stopped abruptly.

“Ah…”

But then again... there's no rush to listen to this human's proposal first! Ye Zhi continued: "I promise that you will be able to enjoy sweets like the ones just now... often."

"Ah!!" Behemoth was overjoyed.

Deal! Mammon was speechless, having witnessed the entire process of Behemoth escaping twice and then falling into the trap.

I have to say, free meals are too tempting for the gluttonous monster!

But given Yeats's insidiousness, how could there be no traps in his words?

The black cat sighed helplessly.

I only said I would provide food, but I didn't say I would provide food for my hunger. I actually succeeded in tricking Behemoth into giving me food! I think it's really hungry! Soon, Ye Zhi and Behemoth completed the magic pet contract, and they felt that they had a new connection with each other.

Taking out all the dry food stored in the storage ring, Yezhi piled the dried meat, bread, cheese, and sausages on the ground into a small hill, picked up Behemoth with both hands, and placed it among the dry food.

“Ah~”

Behemoth ate voraciously and in a messy manner.

"You can eat anything?" Yeats asked.

Behemoth was stunned, nodded his head, and said, "Ah!"

I am not picky about food at all! Yeats murmured thoughtfully:

"From now on, Gluttony will be responsible for taking care of the kitchen waste..."

Behemoth didn't understand what kitchen waste meant, but Mammon blinked his golden eyes and surprisingly found it very reasonable! Diamond said, "As expected of you, Yeats, the part-time poet!"

Ye Zhi ignored it calmly and thought to himself:

"Mortal food is still too low in energy for Behemoth."

"We need to hunt down a group of magical beasts and store them in the Mammon Ring."

“So that when we go out in the future, we won’t have to think of ways to find food for Behemoth…”

The name of Behemoth was too famous. Ye Zhi couldn't connect the legendary beast with the purple pig in front of him. He thought about giving the gluttonous beast a name and soon came up with an idea.

The moonlit night cast a cool glow, and the evening breeze created ripples in the wheat fields. Yeats lowered his head, staring at the piglet with its head tilted up, and said seriously:

"Since you bear the name of Behemoth, I will call you 'Little Be'."

"Ah!" Behemoth groaned in protest.

This name doesn't sound domineering at all! Oh, this pig is quite temperamental! Ye Zhi raised his eyebrows and said, "That depends on your performance! If you don't perform well, I'll call you Xiaobei... If you perform well, you can be called 'Bei Ye'!"

Like that man, the Gluttonous Beast is also at the top of the food chain.

As long as Behemoth can recover even half of its original strength, it can be called Bear Grylls! "Ah~" The purple pig seemed very satisfied with the name, smiling and nodding, and took the initiative to discuss with Ye Zhi.

You can call me Xiaobei in private, but you have to call me Beiye in public! "Why is that?" Ye Zhi asked with interest.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

The little purple pig raised its head proudly, and its short tail was almost shaking to the sky.

“Ouch!”

Of course that’s because I’m not an ordinary Warcraft, I was born to be a legendary Warcraft!

In front of others, you have to keep your cards straight! If someone comes to take a photo, you have to put your hands in your pockets.

Ye Zhi was speechless and said, "Okay, Xiao Bei...I'll call you Bei Ye outside!"

"Don't pamper it, just weaponize it!" Mammon said coldly.

Diamond Teeth teased, "Are you jealous because Ye Zhi cares too much about Gluttony?"

The black cat meowed and punched at the drill! The drill: "I'll dodge!"

Zuanya could turn invisible, and disappeared in a flash. The black cat had no place to vent his anger, so he directed his anger at Behemoth and said unhappily, "Still eating? Transform quickly! You useless thing, you don't deserve to eat so much!"

Ye Zhi actually saw the elegance of a housekeeper in Mammon...

Behemoth was very afraid of Mammon. He stopped eating and kept burping, seeming to be very nervous.

Ye Zhi took Mammon back into the ring, and Behemoth felt better. It took the initiative to transform into a purple light and leaped towards Ye Zhi's palm.

His palms felt burning hot, Ye Zhi lowered his head, and saw a purple-red dagger in his palms.

whoosh!

Ye Zhikong waved it twice and murmured, "It's quite handy... The key is that it has special abilities!"

In the game, after Gluttony becomes a living weapon, it comes with the "Spell: Feast". When using the Gluttony weapon to damage the enemy, it can cause armor penetration and bleeding, and provide recovery to the user based on the damage.

In short, Gluttony has the ability to suck blood and cause continuous damage. This weapon also has growth potential. The stronger the power of Behemoth itself, the more lethal the Gluttony weapon will be.

"There shouldn't be only one form of dagger..."

Ye Zhi continued to use the power of gluttony, and the purple-red dagger in his hand further extended and turned into a rough-shaped long knife. The long knife had a single-sided blade with serrations and blood grooves, which looked particularly ferocious.

This is the second form besides the 'dagger', and Yeats named it the 'long sword'.

"After eating so much food, it should be able to grow!" Ye Zhi continued to urge.

Buzz——

The purple light extended and formed a several-meter-long blade in Ye Zhi's hand. There were very few long swords of this specification in the entire Zhongting Continent. The blade had a thick back and was sharpened on one side.

The third form of Gluttony is shaped like a large sword!

Ye Zhi poured his fighting spirit into this incredibly long weapon, and the frosty white blade suddenly ignited a fierce red light! Holding the nearly two-meter-long sword in his hand, Ye Zhi exclaimed.

Great, it's the swordsman! Bang! The giant blade suddenly disintegrated and turned into a purple piglet with a pale face. Its entire body seemed to have shrunk! Gurgle~ Behemoth raised his bright eyes, drooped his ears, and looked at Ye Zhi pitifully.

Mortal food was digested too quickly for Behemoth. The third form, the 'Odachi', was over before it lasted half a minute.

We still have to rely on the ingredients from high-ring monsters to satisfy Behemoth's appetite!

Ye Zhi stroked his chin and thought to himself, "We need to find a place to hunt and get some food for Mr. Bear..."

Groups of emperor-level monsters are hard to find, but gatherings of king-level monsters can be traced.

Yeats remembered that there was a lake in Roland called "Fallis", where a group of man-eating strange birds lived. They were the descendants of the "Stynfaris Lake Monster Bird".

[The Stymphalid Bird] is recorded in the Twelve Trials of the great hero Hercules. This strange bird feeds on humans and has copper wings, claws and beaks, and extremely sharp feathers.

The feathers of the strange birds can also be shot as sharp arrows. Groups of man-eating strange birds pose a great threat, and even the Five Rings Hero dare not deal with them alone.

However, the four-ring king-level monster is just a toy for Ye Zhi to test the power of new weapons.

There happened to be enough strange birds, so as long as the ingredients were treated with the 'Frozen Technique' of the Ice School, they would not have to worry about spoiling if stored in the Mammon Ring.

After successfully contracting the [Gluttonous Monster] Behemoth, Yeats took it into the pet plane and rested for a night in a hotel on Montmartre Hill.

The next day.

At dawn, music could be heard on the Montmartre Hill. The harvest festival lasted for three days, during which people sang and danced, creating a grand occasion.

The news that the Duke of Honeysuckle had arrested the real murderer had spread throughout the Food and Beverage Guild. When Ye Zhi arrived at the guild, he could clearly feel a hint of cordiality and friendliness in everyone's awe-inspiring gazes.

The base of the Food Guild is located in an ancient and majestic tower on the top of the hill. It is called the Food Tower and was created by a sanctuary-level food master hundreds of years ago.

The tower has a total of thirty floors, and the environment of each floor is completely different to meet the environmental requirements for raising different monsters.

When studying recipes, gourmet chefs do not need to waste time on hunting in the wild. They can directly exchange for Warcraft ingredients with the contribution points within the guild.

The Food Guild also emphasizes barter. Cash-strapped food chefs can play the role of adventurers, hunt monsters, and then hand over the food to the guild in exchange for points.

Food Tower, tenth floor, affairs hall.

Ye Zhi came to the office of President Varian and expressed his need for a spell scroll and auxiliary materials of "Spell·Frozen Spell".

This spell is only a second-level spell. Ye Zhi thought that with his own qualifications, it would take him a day to learn it... If he gave it to the Snowy Owl, it would probably learn it after just one glance!

Without saying anything, Varian immediately ordered his men to prepare it and personally handed it to Ye Zhi, saying with gratitude: "You have solved such a big problem for the Food Feast Guild, and I haven't had the chance to thank you yet... If there is anything I can do, just tell me!"

Ye Zhi said, "Actually, I really need your help with something."

"Please go ahead!"

"As far as I know, the Tower of Food contains a golden cauldron called [Arenil]... Can I take a look at it?"

Arenil is a sacred artifact handed down from the Second Age. Legend has it that it was made by the God of Cooking at the request of the God of Forging and the God of Fire. This cauldron contains the power of the laws of time and fire. It is no exaggeration to call it a [legendary kitchen utensil]!

President Varian hesitated and pondered for a long time before expressing his dilemma.

Varian said that the creator of the Tower of Food, the Sanctuary Food Master, obtained this cauldron by chance, but was unable to unleash the full power of [Arenil]. After his death, he sealed the cauldron in the Tower of Food.

"He left a will that only master-level food chefs are qualified to look upon Arenil, but they can only look and not touch, otherwise they will be burned by the fire power contained in the cauldron."

"Only food masters with master-level attainments can come into contact with Erenil..." Varian said with a wry smile, "However, what he never expected was that after hundreds of years, there are only a few people who have achieved the Saint Realm. It is even more impossible to cultivate food masters to the Saint Realm level..."

Ye Zhi nodded to show his understanding, and half-jokingly said: "Then, wait until I reach the Holy Land, and then I will remove the seal of [Arenil]."

Varian smiled and said, "If Arenil can really see the light of day again, I believe the founder of the Food Tower will be very pleased!"

"King Roland is still waiting for my report, so I'll take my leave now... By the way, President, do you have a map of Lake Faris?"

"Yes, there is, but there are man-eating birds gathering in Lake Faris, so it's rarely visited by people. Why are you asking this?"

"I plan to take my magical pet with me and go there for some training."

"Understood. I'll have someone hand over the map to you right away!"

* Sapphire Manor.

hall.

"Yezhi, is this your new magical pet?" Gray leaned over to tease the purple piglet and asked curiously, "What race is it?"

Ye Zhi took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Legendary Warcraft, the juvenile form of Behemoth."

Gray laughed and said, "That sounds quite plausible!"

Ye Zhi: “…”

Gray: "…Is it really Behemoth?"

Ye Zhi shrugged: "When you grow up, you will be fine."

Gray's eyes widened as she looked at the purple pig with surprise.

"I plan to take it to Lake Faris to hunt the local strange bird. Gray, you and Hildreth can come with us." Yeats smiled and said, "After we kill the strange bird, we can have a snack!"

Besides that...Yezhi thought to himself...Behemoth's "Tachi Form" can also be very effective when hunting monsters! Gray said happily: "Together, together!"

Behemoth blended into the team perfectly, raised his head and roared: "Ah!"

If you hang out with Yeats, you’ll eat nine meals a day!
