This was the first time Ji Mo Fan had encountered a monster taking the initiative to form a contract with a human.
Ordinary monsters generally only follow the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, so if you want them to obey, you have to beat them into submission first.
Then, take advantage of their wounded state to quickly form a contract. Even if they still have the will to resist, they will be powerless and can only obediently become contracted beasts.
Another scenario is similar to the Qilin egg given to Ge Gen, where the beast is carefully nurtured before it is born, so that the first person the beast sees when it opens its eyes is its master. This imprinting effect will make the cub extremely loyal and trusting to its master.
But a bird like the Black Bird, which seeks out its own master after transforming into an adult, is something he has never even heard of, let alone seen.
Xuan Niao could tell what was on his mind from his somewhat confused expression.
Hmph, you ignorant brat, you probably don't know that ancient beasts that have fully developed their intelligence through the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will generally seek new masters according to their own will, right?
It liked the spirit stones that this person fed it; they were cool, delicious, and fun, and it wanted to continue eating them.
The black bird only reverted to its juvenile form to recover after being injured. In reality, it was nearly ten thousand years old and had several previous owners, but none of them lived as long as it.
Moreover, although those people were kind enough to feed it delicious food, none of them had strong cultivation talent, and none of them were able to survive until ascension.
The previous owner was quite capable, but unfortunately he couldn't survive the tribulation of ascension.
The black bird used its spiritual power to save him, but it was seriously injured and fell into a deep sleep. When it woke up, it found itself transformed into a fluffy hen, with a burly man next to it shouting that this hen would lay golden eggs.
The black bird was so angry it nearly fell over.
Whose good bird gets surrounded and watched while it's sleeping and its poop is treated like a delicacy?
The bird is dead.
Ji Mofan couldn't understand what the black bird was trying to say, so he had no choice but to comply and press the drop of blood from his fingertip onto the bird's forehead.
The black bird then let out a cheerful chirp.
The spiritual energy stirred up a strong wind, engulfing the two of them. Ji Mofan's body was blown around uncontrollably, mainly because he had just exhausted his spiritual energy, making his mind less sharp and his sense of balance diminished.
Black feathers covered them.
The black bird spread its wings, which were dozens of feet long, and wrapped Ji Mofan up completely. The wind was blocked out, and not a single gust could reach Ji Mofan.
"Oh my, I can finally speak."
The unfamiliar voice, through new connections that gradually appeared in his mind, directly communicated with Ji Mofan in silence.
Ji Mofan was completely stunned, unable to believe that the sound could come from the black bird that was carefully protecting itself.
"What's wrong? Haven't you ever heard a cute little bird talk?" That voice rang in Ji Mofan's mind again, and the black bird's bright black eyes stared at him intently, clearly carrying the same emotion as in the voice.
"...This is indeed the first time," Ji Mofan replied, forcing a smile.
This was completely beyond his expectations.
With the contract as a link, Ji Mofan vaguely sensed that the Black Bird was quite old. Coupled with its extremely deceptive appearance, Ji Mofan subconsciously felt that it could be compared to an adult female in humans.
But to my surprise, I heard the voice of a sweet, coquettish girl with an extremely lively tone.
I feel like I could chug three big cups of baby formula while holding a bottle.
Moreover, most demonic beasts are not fully intelligent. Even if they form a contract with their master, they can only obey the master's commands unilaterally and cannot truly communicate with each other in their minds.
But this black bird can do it.
However, Ji Mofan didn't have time to consider what other special qualities she might have. He was just eager to borrow her wings and said, "Take me away to the Southern Frontier."
Leaping onto the back of the black bird, Ji Mofan took out a handful of spirit stones from his Qiankun bag and scattered them into the air.
With a cry, the black bird opened its beak and accurately crushed all the spirit stones flying in mid-air. Then, it obligingly took to the air, carrying Ji Mo Fan into the sky, and with a flap of its wings, it flew for several miles.
It's even faster than teleportation talismans, since talismans have a limited teleportation distance, and tearing them apart one by one takes time.
Ji Mofan felt the wind around him was so strong it seemed to tear his face apart. Even though the black bird flew relatively steadily, he had to bury himself completely in its thick feathers before the howling wind in his ears finally subsided a little.
The wind whistled for about half a cup of tea's time, and Ji Mofan felt the black bird slow down and land gently and steadily on the ground.
"Come down." The little girl's voice echoed in his mind again.
Ji Mo Fan slid down her glossy feathers and casually fed her a few spirit stones.
Although he didn't hear the Black Bird say it himself, he could sense through the contract that the biggest reason this guy chose him was because the spirit stones he fed were delicious.
Secondly, there's the possibility that he might take her with him when he ascends to heaven.
Seeing the black bird eating happily, Ji Mofan straightened himself up and was about to leave when he lifted his foot but put it back down. He stared at the black bird for two seconds and asked, "Can you transform into human form now?"
Bringing such a large and obviously extraordinary contracted beast to the front lines of the chaotic war between immortals and demons? It sounds like courting death.
In fact, Ji Mofan could have directly put the Xuan Bird into the contract space, but just before he was about to take action, he suddenly remembered Shuanghuang, who was extremely unwilling to be locked in the Qiankun bag, so he paused for a moment and asked.
The black bird raised its head and swayed smugly, "You know your stuff."
Then her figure slowly shrank in front of Ji Mofan, eventually turning into a small girl who looked only five or six years old.
"Master!" The sweet, cloying voice finally rang out in his head, and the little girl called out to him excitedly, circling around him and waving her arms.
It's exactly the same as when she was a mother hen... uh, when she was a fledgling black bird.
However, Ji Mofan still prefers to communicate with the Black Bird in this way.
At least there's an air barrier between them, so his nerves won't be too stimulated.
"Black Bird, wait a moment..."
"Hey! That's rude! You should ask my name first!" Before Ji Mofan could finish speaking, the little girl jumped up and down with her hands on her hips.
Ji Mofan was rendered speechless for two seconds by her chattering.
He took a deep breath. "I haven't yet asked your name."
"My name is Lianrong!" The little girl tossed her head proudly, "A lovely, fluffy girl!"
What a lovely name! Her former owner loved her so much.
