“It’s really a big whale.”

Xia Xiao murmured to himself. The sound of the whale made him feel as if he was at the sea in an instant.

Someone once said that the sky is a mirror-like ocean that is wider than the sea, and there live some creatures that do not exist in the ocean. Xia Xiao did not know who that person was, but at this moment, this big whale did not come from the sea, but from the starry sky behind the sky, and it was like the night sky, coming to the world with bright stars.

The mist passed around the whale's body. The giant creature was extremely docile and gradually approached Ah Zhu with the airflow, making Doudou, who was barking wildly, dare not bark anymore. It also felt that this guy was much bigger than itself. If it was naughty, it might be swallowed by it in one bite, leaving nothing behind, so it had to hide behind Xia Xiao's feet.

The hair on Ah Zhu's forehead was lifted by the air current, revealing her smooth forehead. She put her hands slightly forward and leaned forward as if she was about to fall from the cliff. But her light body pushed aside the thin layer of fog, making the creature behind it visible.

This is a narwhal that is more than 30 meters long, and its horn that is more than 5 meters long seems to pierce the sky. The strange lines give Xia Xiao a very ancient feeling, but although this little narwhal is not small, it is not very old. Therefore, those lines are just proof of the age of its race, but its appearance and breath still surprise Xia Xiao. This does not seem to be a creature from the Great Wilderness, but from the real starry sky.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Ah Zhu's voice was extremely gentle. Ever since her master told her about this, she had been thinking about her little narwhal. Today, she finally saw the little guy born from the starry sky, and heard his round voice, like that of a little boy.

"Me too, I have been waiting for your arrival for a long, long time."

"Did you hear that?"

Ah Zhu looked back excitedly, as if he wanted to share this joy with Xia Xiao and Dou Dou. But they only heard a whale sound, which was filled with some joy, but more of it was the deep and ethereal sound unique to whale sounds.

Xia Xiao liked that sound very much, as if it took him away from this world and into another bright ocean. In that ocean, he drifted everywhere, and his destination was the other side of the Milky Way, so far away that he could not reach it.

The horn stirred in the air, causing mist to surround it. This seemingly sharp whale horn was actually not a weapon, but Ah Zhu didn't know that yet. She touched it with great curiosity, her clear eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement, and she kept looking at her contracted beast. Gradually, a new ocean of stars appeared in her eye sockets, and only the little narwhal could swim into it.

One person and one whale, temporarily immersed in infinite joy and the joy of seeing each other. The human voice and the whale sound are constantly communicating, and only the laughter can be spied by Xia Xiao and Dou Dou.

Soon, Ah Zhu felt his body became lighter. He stood on tiptoe and floated in the air, as if he could move around in the air like a little narwhal. That lightness was so dreamy that he felt like he was in a wonderland under the stars.

After an unknown amount of time, Ah Zhu asked the little narwhal.

"Can we start now?"

After he nodded, Ah Zhu turned around and took the scroll from Xia Xiao. With the latter, she didn't have to make the seal herself, but such a sacred thing still had to be done by herself to have a sense of ritual. Many practitioners signed the spiritual contract just to become stronger, but Ah Zhu wanted to experience that feeling more, so she was very eager to open the scroll and try it out.

It was not difficult to form a spiritual bond. It only required nineteen hand seals. Because there were images of hand seals on the scroll, Ah Zhu learned very quickly. She was extremely excited and had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Let's get started."

The little narwhal circled around Ah Zhu, and she stood in the air like a god, and began to make many hand seals in order, such as the combination, formation, fight, and confinement. Ah Zhu made the seals slowly, and kept her face straight, for fear of making mistakes. Finally, she finally made the hand seals under the guidance of her unique rhythm, and clenched her right fist and smashed it on the left palm.

Suddenly, vitality burst out, and a dark yellow talisman pattern suddenly appeared in front of him. The pattern was mysterious and ancient, and it came from a distant era. It enveloped Ah Zhu and the little narwhal like a dreamy stream.

Among them, Azhu and the little narwhal's bodies were swung by two invisible big hands, floating on each side.

It was Ah Zhu's first time experiencing this and he was extremely curious. He looked around but his vision was blurry and his attention was finally drawn to the painful fingertips.

Blood beads emerged from the fingertips, gathering continuously, and then moved forward in the thick mist, merging with another drop of blood. A strange light appeared in the blood, enveloping Ah Zhu and the little narwhal.

From the outside, they were only in the light, but Ah Zhu and the little narwhal inside finally saw the eternal and unchanging contract.

Attracted by it, Ah Zhu stretched out his finger, and the little narwhal pointed out its long horn, touching both sides of the inscription. At the moment when the ripples appeared, Ah Zhu and the little narwhal shared memories, and gradually got to know each other better from strangers who had just met for the first time.

Ah Zhu saw a starry sky she had never seen before. She saw the little narwhal being born in it. She also saw him leave the starry sky and sea for the first time with the encouragement of the big whale, travel through many worlds, finally stop in the wilderness, and swim in the peach forest. He once sang loudly under the gaze of Hu Bugui and Di Muli, traveled through the thunderous clouds, and swam through the colorful universe.

The place he was going to was extremely far away, and Ah Zhu was very yearning for it, but she was like a blank sheet of paper, with few stories, which surprised the little narwhal. Just as Hu Bugui's brother said, Ah Zhu was a very special person, so special that it was beyond the understanding of the Great Wilderness, and so special that it did not belong to the category of human beings. This was also the reason why he was able to persuade his family under the moon, so that he could come to the Great Wilderness again and sign a spiritual contract with Ah Zhu.

Ah Zhu is special, so she must have a special contracted beast, which is good for both her and the little narwhal. Then, they couldn't help but read out the contract text.

Even though it was written in a sloppy and crazy way, like some kind of scribble, they still miraculously recognized it.

"After signing this spiritual contract, we have transcended race and become one. From now on, we will share weal and woe together. There will be no separation, only life and death!"

The surroundings began to twist, and as they kept spinning, they became Ah Zhu's spiritual contract space. In it was an extremely vast starry world, like an ocean, and the miniature of the wilderness was just a decoration like a stone. Such existences were countless in this starry world, but because of Ah Zhu's temporary existence, they became extremely glorious.

In the whale's cry, there was joy and victory. The little narwhal swam in, leaving only the brilliant starlight to accompany Ah Zhu. When they landed on Ah Zhu, they turned into extremely bright spots of light and remained on her clothes, like a layer of star-like gauze, magnificent and beautiful.

Ah Zhu was attracted by it and did not pay attention to the spiritual contract and the numerous lines floating in the air that disappeared into her body, making her the main body of the spiritual contract.

At this point, the process of signing the spiritual contract was over. In the sea of ​​spirit, Ah Zhu's seedling was also painted with the color of the starry sky, like an extremely strange plant. But in the future, Ah Zhu will also be changed by it. But at this moment, she was only happy.

After jumping around for several rounds, Azhu finally landed on the ground, jumped across the stream and returned to Xia Xiao and Doudou.

"Success!"

Azhu picked up Doudou, looking extremely happy. Xia Xiao followed her and they walked towards the mountain road together.

"Aren't you curious about your new energy?"

Ah Zhu stopped walking, and turned around and waved his finger out of curiosity. Immediately, the icy water in the stream turned into a small narwhal, swam many circles in the air, and finally plopped into the water.

It's really good to have such control over it from such a long distance. When Xia Xiao smiled with relief, Doudou kept shouting because the stream turned into a puppy again. It was it!

"Don't worry, Doudou, I will continue to spoil you."

Ah Zhu seemed to know Doudou's worries. After she said a word, Doudou even licked her hand, showing happiness and gratitude.

"Today I have finally accomplished something. Let's go and have something delicious."

"What's in the cafeteria for lunch?"

“Duck leg rice.”

Ah Zhu was so excited that he almost cried out. He hadn't eaten for a long time. After careful calculation, it was really half a year. Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu went early. Lunch was not ready yet, so they sat aside and waited. Ah Zhu told Xia Xiao about the little narwhal. The latter listened very carefully and asked Ah Zhu.

"What race are they?"

"There are many names for their race in Little Narwhal, but the most commonly used one is... Void Beast."

"Void Beast..."

Xia Xiao murmured for a long time, and Ah Zhu asked:

"You know?"

"I haven't heard of it, but it sounds very powerful. When you use your vitality, you will also see the starry sky."

"From now on, I will be the only one who can use the power of the starry sky."

The power of the starry sky, indeed, can be said to be so. Ah Zhu used his energy many times along the way, and Xia Xiao found that it was not the accurate five elements, and could even be determined to be outside the five elements. At present, the energy in the Great Wilderness is all in the five elements, and only a small part of the concept is vague. But this starry sky power is very gentle, somewhat similar to the water element, but the implicit part of it, as long as you spend time to develop it, Xia Xiao thinks that it will be able to achieve a similar existence of the complete five elements in the future.

I don't know if there is any poison in the starry sky, but ordinary straight and curved wood, explosive fire, etc. should all be reflected. When Xia Xiao thought of this, he could guess how much effort Hu Bugui had spent to win such a contract beast.

In fact, in order to get the little narwhal's consent, he started working hard since Ah Zhu was determined to stay in the academy and her master continued to call her "master". It took him more than a year. And this was also thanks to the little narwhal's own willingness. He came to the academy and the peach forest and came once a year, which gave him the opportunity to communicate.

It's fate, otherwise the universe is so big, no matter how capable Hu Bugui is, he can't leave the wilderness and go to the outside world. But it's also a blessing for Ah Zhu to have it, just like the soup is fragrant, without duck leg rice, with other meat, it will lose that unique taste. But thinking about it, this is the first time that the little narwhal has come before the peach blossoms are in full bloom, but his unique peach forest and flowers will be Ah Zhu.

"Sorry for the wait, let's have dinner!"

Two plates of fried duck leg rice, accompanied by a cup of hot tea, made Xia Xiao and A Zhu start eating without hesitation.

"Start practicing in the afternoon."

"No problem! But can I join you?"

Xia Xiao thought for a while and nodded reluctantly.

"OK!"

"I'll soon surpass you."

"You're dreaming. You can only eat better than me."

Ah Zhu stuck out his tongue and soon ran to get more rice.

"Auntie, here's more, eat slowly!"

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Eat more."

"Okay! I will practice from noon to night."
