The vast forest is full of lush leaves.
Battles between strange beasts, battles between strange beasts and humans, and battles between humans are almost the main themes in all wilderness areas and secret realms.
Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Bai Yuhan's pale cheeks, and blood flowed down his right arm, dripping onto the grass.
A sea of red.
A large black lizard covered with iron scales lay beside him, looking at him with concern.
A faint smell of blood filled the air.
Bai Yuhan sat behind a dense bush, calmly tore off the hem of his clothes, and vigilantly treated the wound on his arm.
Apart from his weapons, the rest of his bag had already been lost in the battle...
"Logically speaking, I'm injured now and should rush back to the supply base to get treatment."
"But last night, when I was fighting with those guys over the ambergris, several people saw my face. If I return to the supply base for treatment, there's a high chance I'll be caught."
Bai Yuhan frowned and tied his injured arm tightly. When he saw that the bleeding had stopped, he immediately thought seriously about his next plan.
last night.
He was extremely lucky and accidentally found a second-grade high-level ambergris and a second-grade intermediate ambergris.
The original plan was to let Xiao Hei take it directly to increase the purity of the atavistic dragon blood in Xiao Hei's body, temper his body, and evolve as quickly as possible.
But thinking about it, they were still in the wilderness area, and Xiao Hei would probably need to enter the beast-taming space for a few days to refine the ambergris after eating it, and his safety could not be guaranteed in the wilderness area.
He put the ambergris away and decided to wait until he got back to talk about it...
Unexpectedly, when the ambergris was picked, its scent spread and attracted two other groups of people.
A three-way battle, with both sides sieging each other.
If it weren't for Xiao Hei's physical dragon blood awakening, he would have had a significant deterrent effect against other strange beasts.
And he is accustomed to being alert all the time, so he might really fall into the opponent's sneak attack!
I touched the ambergris in the jade box in my inner pocket and thought about the behavior of that group of people last night...
Bai Yuhan frowned and thought, "Those two teams probably won't give up for ten days or half a month... The best option is to use this time to quickly find a safe place and have Xiao Hei take the ambergris to break through to the second level!"
Dragon beasts are usually much stronger than beasts of the same level, and cross-level challenges are commonplace.
But the Tyrannosaurus Rex hasn't completely transformed yet, so he still has to be careful.
"The safest place near the Qingshan Wilderness Area, apart from the supply base, is the only way back to Jianghuai City."
Bai Yuhan pondered for a moment, "It seems that the only way is to find an opportunity to leave the Qingshan Wilderness Area first, and then take a ride back to the city."
"As for the rest...it won't be too late to discuss it after Xiao Hei advances."
After licking their back teeth that smelled of blood, Bai Yuhan and Xiao Hei got up and hurried on their way.
From the dim morning, the sky gradually turned pale.
Then, from the golden morning to the scorching sun...
During this period, Bai Yuhan tried his best to avoid dealing with people. Compared with the strange beasts in the wilderness, the wilderness area's beastmaster team was now even less worthy of his trust. Even though there was a jade box locking the fragrance and energy emitted by the ambergris, Bai Yuhan was still not at ease.
I'm hungry, so I eat some wild fruits.
If you are thirsty, try to hold it in.
Without a map, one can only rely on the compass on a special bracelet to find the direction in the jungle.
Until my lips are so dry that I can hardly bear it...
Only then did Bai Yuhan hear the sound of gurgling water.
Crash! Crash! —!
Bai Yuhan's eyes lit up and he quickly walked in the direction of the sound of water.
However--
He had just gotten close enough when his ears moved slightly and he noticed something strange.
“…Is there someone ahead?!”
Bai Yuhan frowned, his ears already helping him to discern the situation ahead.
In particular, the sound in the front seemed to contain... game music.
——Game music?
Bai Yuhan paused, his expression blank for a moment.
He pricked up his ears and listened carefully again.
Dongdongcha! Dongdongchachacha! Dongdongdongdong!
The sound of mobile phone games, accompanied by the sound of rushing river water, came from far away and kept drilling into his ears.
Bai Yuhan: “…”
…
"Quick, quick, quick! Over here, place an ice-type leaf vine over here! The leaves it throws out can freeze the aliens!"
"Rustle~~Rustle~"
"Ah~ Here, quick, put a poison mushroom here, otherwise the aliens will come over~"
“Rustle~~”
"Quick, put a fire-type exploding pepper on this road. The peppers it throws out can directly kill the enemy!"
“Rustle~”
riverside.
Song Yu was playing online games with Dodder.
One man and one vine sat on the green grass by the river, facing each other, fighting the alien in the mobile phone.
Having already caught two small crucian carp the size of an adult's palm, Song Yu even casually placed his fishing rod on the nearby stone slab. He turned on the music in his mobile game early and leisurely played the role of Jiang Taigong. Whether he could catch fish depended entirely on the willingness of the fish in the river.
She only needs that much food every day anyway, so why go through so much trouble?
Two small fish are enough to cook a pot of fish soup~
The sound of ding-dong sounds from the mobile phone game continued to ring out, and a cheerful yet tense atmosphere emanated from the person and the vine by the river.
As Song Yu frantically poked at the icons on his phone to plant plant-like creatures, constantly intercepting the aliens attacking from the game interface, coupled with the dodder vines he had learned how to operate in the past few hours, the game interface quickly popped up an exciting message - "Game victory, enter the next level, do you want to enter: Yes? No?"
"Woo! I finally made it to level 108. As expected, playing with two people online is much faster than playing alone!"
Song Yu lowered his head and looked at the dodder vine with sparkling eyes!
Dodder: “……!”
Rustle, rustle~ Stared at by the burning gaze, the dodder vine twisted its branches, shook its leaves, and its cheeks became hot.
However, as a plant, even though the dodder vine felt its cheeks getting hot, Song Yu could not see any changes.
Instead, when he saw the twisting branches of the dodder vine, he suddenly felt that he had not mistaken this plant-based monster before.
That’s what she said!
How could it be possible that people and strange beasts don’t like to be salted fish?
Song Yu reached out and touched the dodder vine in response.
In the past...
Everyone says that the pursuit of power is innately engraved in the genes of every exotic beast.
Even the lowest level 0 monster still wants to become stronger every day.
Even the most docile beasts in normal times will fight fiercely when faced with a crucial situation of fighting for territory.
But in Song Yu's view, to put it bluntly, it is a fight for living space.
In my previous life on Earth.
In the animal world, lions, tigers, and even puppies all mark their territory in their own unique way.
This is not only a living environment that allows animals to tell other animals that this area is their hunting territory to ensure that their survival needs can be met on a daily basis, but also to intimidate their own kind and tell the opposite sex that they are powerful and have the right to mate.
In his previous life, Song Yu had watched many popular science videos on the Internet.
Among them is about female kittens, how to judge whether male kittens are healthy, whether they have enough food and time to take care of their fur, whether they are worthy of being the father of their next generation of children, etc. by the smell and color of their urine.
Even ordinary city stray cats want to become stronger...
Get more food and attract more mates.
Not to mention those exotic beasts that are far more powerful than lions and tigers, possess extraordinary powers, and also have high intelligence.
In the harsh living conditions of wilderness areas and secret realms, the other party instinctively pursues more powerful strength and marks out territory...all for the sake of survival and giving birth to the next generation.
Song Yu was muttering to himself.
She believed that the strange beasts would also be willing to have fun once they had a chance to relax.
Just like the Husky, as a sled dog and working dog, once it is brought to a home with a financially well-off owner who loves it.
Why would a Husky ever think of working as a sled puller?
All that’s on my little head every day is…delicious food and going out to play!
"It's a pity that after more than three months of traveling through time... every time I mention the contracted beast to others."
"Everyone thinks that the alien beasts are just a bunch of battle maniacs who only pursue power. Apart from power, the alien beasts are just a bunch of ordinary beasts with brains full of air."
Song Yu wrinkled his nose. This inherent concept was caused by the constraints of the surrounding environment.
In the past three months, she has never seen any contracted beast that only thinks about having fun, eating and going out to play every day.
but……
Now, isn’t there a plant-like monster that really loves playing games?
Looking at the dodder vine, which was practically lying on its phone, with a few thin vines poking back and forth at the mobile game interface, even its back revealed a serious and earnest look...
Song Yu's eyes became more gentle and kind.
Song Yu's voice was sweet and full of sugar: "Little guy, do you want to make a contract with me? I will play games with you every day in the future~"
Qiuqiu returned to the Beast Taming Space to read novels and practice. Song Yu invited this dodder vine, which really loved playing games, without any burden.
Like playing games√
Very active in eating
It only needs sunlight, water and soil, it is an ordinary plant and very easy to grow√
Weak and inconspicuous, it would not be noticed by the male protagonist and other strong people at all... A weak beast of level 0√
Is there any other contracted beast that would be more suitable for her than this dodder vine?!
No!
Someone who likes playing games like her, has the same hobby as her, and they can play together and be lazy together.
Isn’t the dodder vine, which is so weak that the male protagonist, other people and strange beasts don’t even bother to look at it, the beast of her dreams?
She hadn't thought about it that much before, but now that she thinks about it carefully...
The dodder vine is simply perfect!
He can play with her, and because of his low bloodline level... he can accurately avoid the vigilance of the male protagonist Bai Yuhan.
If it weren't for the plant feel, it would be quite different from the furry feel.
This dodder vine with a low-level bloodline at level 0 has no flaws at all!
Song Yu grinned, revealing two beautiful little fangs. He looked at the dodder vine again and asked, "Little guy, do you want to make a contract with me? As long as you make a contract with me, I will play games with you every day when we return to Jianghuai City!"
Dodder vine: “!”
Dodder raised its little head, feeling as if it were hallucinating.
Otherwise, how could it hear this two-legged beast say it wanted to make a contract with it?
“Rustle~”
The dodder vine waved its vines and the leaves shook. Doudou's eyes were filled with disbelief and surprise.
"Rustle~" Do you really want to make a contract with me?
"Yeah~" Song Yu nodded with a smile, "I think we are very compatible and are very suitable for the contract."
"Rustle~" The dodder vine blinked its small eyes as big as croton beans and continued to sway its vines.
But, but...but I eat a lot~
The branches and leaves of the dodder vine swayed and its body twisted.
Last night, it was in the river, thinking the person in front of it was greedy for its body and wanted to make a contract with it. So, it deliberately used fragrant bait to lure it and feed it fish... But when it wanted to continue eating to recover from its injuries, the person changed, leaving it very resentful.
after.
When it thought it was playing hard to get, but actually wanted to make a contract with it and took the initiative to propose a contract...
However, the other party yawned and fell asleep, showing no intention of signing the contract at all... This behavior of the other party made it extremely puzzled.
Until last night, it lay on the tree and thought about it all night long, and it almost got dark circles under its eyes.
The dodder vine finally understood why the two-legged beast in front of it was reluctant to make a contract with it.
It turns out that it is too weak and eats too much!
Didn't you see the Blue Moon Rabbit that bit through several of its vines yesterday afternoon, sending it scurrying everywhere... And then, after being yelled at by the big cat with the Two-legged Beast Contract, it instantly lost its fighting power and fled in terror? It must have grown eight more legs!
Such a big cat with a tall body and strong fighting power eats less food every day than this one!
Just a tiny piece of translucent food, the size of a leaf, is all it takes to sustain you for the entire day!
"Rustle~~" The dodder vine, which had no idea what energy food was, shook its branches, lowered its head in shame, and made a sound as soft as a mosquito.
And, I'm still very weak~~very useless, I can't even beat Qingyuetu~
“Rustle~~”
I eat a lot and have low strength. You made a contract with me because you must have pitied me.
“Rustle~”
So, so... let's not have a contract~
The dodder vine hung its head, and tears welled up in its eyes.
It is so weak, so it’s better not to implicate this two-legged beast that is kind to it.
I've heard from other dodders that although this biped looks tall and big, it's actually not very powerful in combat.
In the forest, bipeds are often chased by rabbits.
I imagined that one day in the future, after they made a contract, they would both be chased by rabbits.
The dodder vine shook its branches, tightly grasped the phone, and buried its head even lower.
"How can it be useless?!"
Looking at the dodder vine, he wished he could bury the entire vine in the ground and become autistic on the spot.
Song Yu immediately stretched out two fingers and pulled the thin yellow vine out of the grass, encouraging him, "You're really good at playing games! Just now, we were playing games together, and your grades were better than mine!"
The game "Plants vs. Aliens" is very simple. You don't need to think too much about which plant or beast to use to defeat the aliens next.
All the player needs to do is keep an eye on the screen, see how many aliens will attack the character on each route, and quickly plant enough powerful plants and monsters on that route in advance...
The plant monsters in the game icon will automatically charge and fight, beating the aliens to pieces and reducing them to ashes.
Therefore, after the dodder vine, which had many vines acting as hands and feet, played several rounds of games with Song Yu.
The game character's points after the game will rise rapidly at a rocket speed!
Among them, Song Yu was busy several times because the mobile game interface map was too large, resulting in attacks from behind and almost death!
On the other hand, the dodder vine uses its hands and feet together, and seven or eight vines can be operated simultaneously by a mobile phone, killing the aliens and making them flee in disarray!
"Look at today's points ranking. Your points are much higher than mine!" Song Yu raised her mobile phone, opened the game points ranking interface that they were playing when they were online, and placed it in front of the dodder vine.
Points Ranking
——NO.1: Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit: 2473469 points
——NO.2: Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu: 1879475 points
On the colorful mobile game interface with flashing background music, the score ranking list is clearly visible.
"Swish, swish, swish~?"
Really, is it really that powerful?
The dodder vine blinked its small eyes and looked at Song Yu eagerly.
Song Yu nodded vigorously, gave a thumbs-up with a smile, and praised: "Of course it's that amazing. You're such a good gamer, and I've never seen a beast as good at gaming as you before!"
The dodder was a little happy when people praised it, but after thinking about it carefully, it lowered its head again.
“Rustle~”
But, but...playing games can't improve my strength. I, I'm still very weak...
“Swish~Swish…”
And, moreover, our clan is still, still very, very difficult to evolve...
The dodder vine shook its branches somewhat unconfidently, and its leaves rubbed against each other.
It had evolved from its juvenile stage to its adult stage many years ago, but after all these years it was still a Level 0 contracted beast and no one could defeat it.
The dodder vines were drooping, and even the dancing vines drooped down.
Playing games definitely won’t improve your strength!
But what I want is a high-level bloodline contracted beast with super strength that can take me flying? I don’t!
Hearing Dodder's unsure words, and looking at her still small body even after she'd grown up...
Song Yu became more determined.
The dodder vine in front of her is the perfect contracted beast she has always dreamed of!
If she were to travel to a doomsday world, it would definitely not be possible for her to recruit a friend who liked playing games.
But now the country is peaceful and the people are safe. Aside from the occasional monster riot in some areas, people living in the city generally have enough food and clothing. She's a slacker who doesn't plan to become a beastmaster, just wants to lie in bed and browse her phone every day. It's normal for her to find a small, cuddly friend who'll play games with her, right?
Look at the tiny size of the dodder vine, how adorable it is that it can be pinched with one hand...
Compare Qiuqiu with other people's contracted beasts, whose huge bodies can't even fit into the bedroom.
Song Yu felt more and more that the dodder, a low-level beast with a difficult evolution, was the most suitable partner for a homebody like her!
He is small in size, has difficulty evolving, and likes playing games. It is a rare opportunity to find a little guy who shares the same interests as her!
then……
Song Yu cleared his throat with two dry coughs, then gently tapped the leaves of the dodder vine with his index finger and said, "Don't be sad. Every exotic beast is unique. Their talents are different too!"
"Take us humans for example: some excel at Chinese, others at math. But no matter what our talents are, as long as we know our own path, we can all achieve success!"
"Don't be sad because your bloodline is of a low level and evolution is difficult! You just don't have the talent for this."
Song Yu encouraged him confidently, "Look, you're really good at playing games. For example, I can't beat you. So I really need a contracted beast like you who's really good at playing games to help me!"
"If you feel like playing games isn't the best way to use your talents."
"After we make the contract, you can go to Jianghuai City to see if there is a place that is more suitable for you to display your talents... For example, being a competitive anchor is not bad? There are many people who like to watch others play games!" Song Yu was fooling... no, encouraging, while making promises to Cuscuta, he almost shouted the slogan of the Earth to Cuscuta directly... As long as you make a contract with me, you will definitely have a place on the national online platform game competitive anchor celebrity rankings!
This serious expression and passionate movements.
Hearing this, Cuscuta was stunned for a moment, and for some reason his blood started boiling.
“Rustle~”
The dodder vine waved its vines, climbed up Song Yu's arm, and its eyes were filled with tears of excitement.
Don't worry, I will definitely play games well in the future! I will definitely live up to your expectations!
…
Looking at the man and the beast on the grass not far away, the waves of contract emanated from their bodies.
One by one, I work hard for my gaming dream...
Bai Yuhan's deep eyes were full of complexity.
If he didn't have the Eye of Rules and was not confident in his own concealment, and was 100% sure that Song Yu opposite him had not discovered him, he would almost suspect that the man and the beast opposite him were deliberately putting on a show for him.
After all, how could there be people in this world who would make contracts with exotic beasts just to play games?
Bai Yuhan: “…”
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.
The contract between others and strange beasts.
It depends on the qualifications of the beast and its bloodline level talent.
What matters is whether this contracted beast has the ability to make them professional beast tamers!
What matters is whether this contracted beast has the ability to help them go further in their future career!
At the very least, you should choose someone who is gentle, intelligent, and able to help take care of the elderly and children at home.
For example, for himself, the first principle in choosing a contracted beast is to check the potential of this beast and whether it has the ability and opportunity to help him defeat his enemies and avenge his parents in the future.
But because the alien beasts are very good at playing games... people who make contracts with alien beasts.
This was the first time Bai Yuhan had seen this in all these years.
Bai Yuhan looked at Song Yu with complicated eyes. The data of the dodder vine in the distance was even more clearly visible in his eyes...
【Name:? ? 】
[Species: Dodder]
【Attribute: Wood】
【Combat Power: 0】
[Potential Level: Level 0]
[Current Level: Level 0]
Description: A low-level plant-based beast, it grows by absorbing nutrients from ordinary plants. It possesses two basic racial abilities: entanglement and absorption. This dodder vine has been in its growth phase for several years, but its strength remains low, making its potential for future evolution extremely low. Yesterday, it absorbed and devoured a second-grade Qingling Lotus, sustaining severe damage and currently recovering.
Although the information displayed on the Eye of Rules is not much, just looking at the two data points of combat power and potential level.
Bai Yuhan could clearly tell that the dodder vine that had just made a contract with Song Yu did not have any special abilities.
Even his bloodline level was the lowest, level 0. It was extremely difficult to break through.
"The Snow Spirit Cat from three months ago, although its bloodline level was lower."
"But the other party has the ability to foresee fragments of the future, and there is a possibility of advancing to a 9th-level contracted beast. No matter who contracts with the other party, that person will not lose money."
"But this dodder vine is really too ordinary..."
"Except yesterday, he was lucky enough to eat a 2nd-grade Qingling Lotus."
"Just looking at the other data, even among the Cuscuta vines, this one is considered to have the most mediocre talent..."
Bai Yuhan's eyes were deep, and his facial muscles did not move at all. Only he could understand the depth of his eyes.
Since entering the supply base and stepping into the Qingshan Wilderness Area.
Along the way, Bai Yuhan saw the data panels of countless people through the Eye of Rules, and the information of strange beasts was like snowflakes.
Even if he doesn't want to see, these eyes will analyze the other person's information without hesitation.
There are many plant-like animals such as dodder in the Qingshan Wilderness Area.
Because they are small in size and like to cling to large trees to get nutrients, it is easy to overlook them if others are not paying attention.
But he has the Eye of Rules, and can easily find small things hiding in the forest.
From yesterday to today, he has seen at least eight or nine plants of the dodder vine alone.
"According to the ranking of potential value and combat power value, this dodder vine is probably ranked after fourth or fifth..." The information about the dodder vine that he had seen in the wilderness forest in the past two days quickly emerged in Bai Yuhan's mind, and he couldn't help but frowned.
"I previously thought Song Yu deliberately lost to Zhou Wenchang in the physical training class in order to play the pig and eat the tiger..."
"But now we're in the Wild Forest, with no other teachers or classmates around. There's really no reason for him to pretend to be useless and pretend to enjoy playing games."
"As a contractor with an SSSSSSSSS-level Beast Taming Space, she can contract a large number of high-level bloodlined exotic beasts at any time if she's willing! Even many beast tamers' contracted beasts will voluntarily hand over their children to her. But she hasn't disclosed the level of her Beast Taming Space for such a long time..."
Song Yu is different from him. He has a clean background and does not need to hide his strength and the level of his beast-controlling space like him.
However……
These days, apart from him, it seemed that no one around knew the true level of Song Yu's beast-taming space.
Even in the beast taming practical class, Teacher Zhang sighed many times, saying that if Song Yu's beast taming space could reach S-level, perhaps the six top international universities would be able to give it a try.
He clearly possesses a high spatial level, yet he says nothing and even likes to play games with low-level bloodline beasts...
An incredible thought suddenly flashed through Bai Yuhan's mind...
The young man's deep pupils dilated slightly, and he looked at Song Yu opposite him carefully again.
The girl's long hair, which was originally tied up high for convenience in movement, now fell on her shoulders.
Although the other party was wearing field combat uniform, there was no trace of fighting on his body.
She sat on the grass, next to her was a white floral rug, the kind you would see at a picnic.
In addition to mobile phones and chargers, the carpet also contains various snacks such as mineral water, candy, biscuits, chocolate, dried meat, etc. There is even a small handful of pink wild flowers picked from somewhere in the middle of the carpet, which is quite exquisite and wild.
Bai Yuhan: “…”
Rather than saying that Song Yu came to the wilderness area for training, it would be more accurate to say that he came to the wilderness area for a picnic.
Especially when she saw the fishing rod next to the other person, she casually threw it aside and ignored it at all.
Bai Yuhan took a deep breath: "..."
Even though Bai Yuhan is usually very well-mannered, when he looked down at his injured arm and his stomach growling with hunger, and then looked at the other person's clean clothes, the white dust-free carpet and the snacks, his mind went blank for a moment!
But Song Yu and Dodder, who were sitting on the floral carpet opposite, took out their mobile phones again and started playing games with their heads down!
He paid no attention to his surroundings.
Cheerful game music, accompanied by the girl's bright smile in the sunshine...
Bai Yuhan only felt that the sunlight today was even more dazzling than the day when the girl brought her new boyfriend to him to break off the engagement.
