Not far from Xie Sen and his companions, the thick branches of a sunflower were glowing with a faint green light, and next to it stood a gigantic flying lion beast.
Flying Lionmon is over three meters tall, with a body similar to that of Giant Lionmon. It has golden mane on its neck, which is soft and flowing. It has huge wings of the same color on its back, and its feathers have a metallic texture, which makes its body look even bigger and more ferocious.
But its behavior was very strange. It glared at the branch of the sunflower fiercely, roared as if it was treating an enemy, then pounced on it and opened its mouth to bite it. Its movements were swift and fierce, and anyone who saw it would think that it would bite the branch off the next moment.
However, the moment it touched the branch, all the evil spirit in its body suddenly disappeared, and the branch instantly became its beloved thing. It opened its big mouth without biting, and licked the branch greedily with its tongue, and its body gradually moved closer.
This fanatical action of love did not last long. It seemed to be stunned, and retreated with a ferocious look, distanced itself from the branch, roared angrily, pounced on the branch again, and repeated this process.
It's just stupid!
Countless melodramatic plots emerged in Xie Sen's mind, including a love-hate relationship. If Feishimon and Sunflower were both human, it would not be awkward to put them in this kind of drama.
"What is it doing?" Long Teng looked confused. He and Bai Jiao came to investigate the situation yesterday. At that time, the flying lion beast had its back to them. In their opinion, the flying lion beast attacked the branches, but they could do nothing about it. They didn't expect the real situation to be like this!
Maine frowned slightly: "I don't know."
Bai Jiao stared at the branches: "It seems to be afraid of the sunflower and wants to destroy it, but after getting close, it can't help but get close to it."
Xie Sen looked at the faintly glowing branches and understood something in his heart: "What A Jiao said should be correct."
He didn't know why Flying Lionmon attacked Sunflower, but he could understand its transformation after it touched the branch.
Wood energy is in the branches of the sunflower. This is the energy closest to nature and has a strong affinity for all living things in nature. The moment it touches the tree trunk, it instinctively moves closer and cannot do anything to cause harm.
The fact that Flying Lionmon was able to recover from this instinctive attraction in time and attack Sunflower again and again can only mean that it has a very strong belief in its heart and wants to destroy Sunflower.
When the flying lion beast attacked the branch again, the leaf that was leading them rushed in front of it, quickly stood it up, and used its wide leaf surface to block the branch. When the flying lion beast hit the leaf, it moved gently and lost control, and rubbed it with its big head.
Xie Sen: “…” Aren’t you tired of switching between hate and love so frequently?
Another leaf of the sunflower stretched out in front of Xie Sen, making a waving gesture, signaling them to move on.
Xie Sen guessed: "You want to take me to the branch?"
The leaves were shaking, and Xie Sen felt a surge of joy again, which was transmitted to him by the sunflower through the wood energy.
Xie Sen glanced at the branches and did not walk over directly. The Flying Lion Beast was right there. If he went over, he would be very close to the Flying Lion Beast. The Flying Lion Beast looked mentally unstable. Although he had a high affinity, he could not take risks casually.
What's more, Maine is the master of the flying lion beast. If Maine goes with him, he might be rejected after getting close to him.
He looked at Maine: "Can you feel the synchronization rate?"
Maine nodded. "Very strange. I can feel its consciousness. It is very anxious. Our synchronization rate should be very high. Logically, it should have discovered me and rejected me long ago, but it did not notice that I was very close to it."
Xie Sen guessed that it might be related to the flying lion beast being too close to the wood energy. He thought for a moment and asked, "Can I attract its attention?"
Maine nodded: "Okay." He said, staring at the flying lion beast, and his fierce momentum seemed to pounce on the flying lion beast. The flying lion beast turned its head alertly, looked straight at Maine, and roared loudly, with a strong sense of pressure and warning. Maine's expression remained unchanged, and he confronted it.
Bai Jiao was about to pull Xie Sen and Long Teng to a farther place when he saw the fierce-looking flying lion beast suddenly restrain its momentum. He was stunned and did not move for a while.
The flying lion beast tilted its head, blinked its eyes, flapped its wings, and flew in front of Maine almost in the blink of an eye. It turned sideways, pointed its wings at the branches, and roared murderously.
Maine's expression changed slightly: "You want me to help you destroy it?" The flying lion beast's big head moved up and down.
Xie Sen looked at Flying Lion Beast in surprise. Does it mean that as long as Maine destroys the sunflower, it will agree to form a contract?
He couldn't help but ask: "Why destroy it?"
The flying lion beast raised its head and roared towards the sky, then roared at the overgrown trees around it, its voice filled with anger.
At this time, the green leaf rushed in front of Xie Sen, rolled into a thin strip, wrapped around Xie Sen's arm, and urged him to gently pull towards the middle. It didn't use any force, but the meaning was very clear.
Xie Sen glanced at the flying lion beast and thought that once he recovered his energy, he would be able to communicate with it smoothly. He wouldn't have to ask it like he was doing now and guess its answer based on its actions.
He looked at Maine and said, "I'll go to the branch for a while. Wait for a moment." Maine grabbed his hand and he smiled. "It's okay. The energy is there. I'll take it back."
He followed the green leaves to the branches, looked up at the flowers covering the top of the mountain, raised his hand to touch the branches, and instantly, surging energy rushed along his arm into his right shoulder, and the temperature of the peony on his shoulder instantly rose to the extreme.
During the whole process, the leaves of the sunflower did not make any move to stop him. Not long after, the green light of the sunflower branches faded, and Adam's excited voice rang in his mind: "Asen, you are awesome! The wood energy has been successfully recycled. Eh~" He paused and said excitedly: "Wow! Great, finally there is a plant with high IQ! Let me talk to it."
Xie Sen was surprised: "You can communicate with it?"
"Of course," A Dan said proudly, "I am a plant system! It said thank you for taking back the energy. It brought you here because it wanted to form a bond with you. It couldn't control its desire to grow continuously, so it wanted to ask the beast master to help control it through a bond. It didn't expect you to be able to recycle the energy."
Xie Sen thought about the beast pattern on his left shoulder and the sunflower in his mind: "How can I make a contract?" He had seen animal contracts and beast contracts many times, but he had no idea about plant contracts.
Adan paused for a moment and said, "It says that you just need to smear blood on its branches, feel it, and then sincerely swear to be loyal to each other for life."
Xie Sen was somewhat puzzled: "Won't the contracted plant reject the beast master?"
"It said it would, but you have a natural aura about you, so it doesn't reject you and is very close to you." Adan said proudly, "With me here, the plants will definitely like you!"
Xie Sen smiled, thought for a moment, took out a dagger from his backpack, cut his index finger, and smeared the blood on the sunflower branch. The blood was almost instantly absorbed by the sunflower. At the same time, the sunflower in his consciousness became particularly clear.
He closed his eyes and felt a strange power, heavy and solid, as if he had gained a loyal partner. He spoke naturally: "I, Xie Sen, swear to form a pact with Sunflower today and be loyal to her for the rest of my life."
The moment the oath was over, the sunflower in his consciousness came alive, and he felt a consciousness that did not belong to him, which was as warm as the sunshine.
Xie Sen opened his eyes and felt the sunflower's joy. He touched its branches, looked up at its huge body, and began to worry: "Even if it is an S-level contracted beast, it can't fit in!"
A Dan said: "Small problem, it's a plant, just let it live here, the source energy I recycle can nourish it and make it stronger."
As it spoke, the huge sunflowers in the forest suddenly disappeared, and the forest that was covered by the flowers was exposed to the sun again. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the trees, creating beautiful light and shadows.
At the same time, in the system panel, a small sunflower appeared in the lower left corner of the hard green book surface.
"Well, it's not a system plant. It needs light. It needs to take root here, but it also needs to stick its head out to get some sun. It's so big, it won't work... Got it!" A Dan muttered to himself, and then said happily, "That's good!"
Just as Xie Sen was about to ask him what he had done, Maine and the other two ran towards him. Maine looked at him with a complicated expression and pointed at the top of his head: "How could this happen?"
Xie Sen was puzzled and reached out to touch it. He didn't know when something had grown on his hair. It felt very soft, and when he touched it, he felt a kind of pleasure that did not belong to him.
"Wow," Long Teng circled around Xie Sen, "Asen, you have flowers on your head."
Bai Jiao stared at the top of his head: "You formed a bond with the sunflower? How come it has become so small?"
Xie Sen guessed what happened from their words. He turned on the bracelet, switched to mirror mode, and looked at the small and cute sunflower above his head. The corners of his mouth twitched. A natural plant hairpin?
"Adan, what's going on?" he asked speechlessly. Is this the good idea that Adam mentioned?
A Dan said in a tone of flattery, "Asen, am I super smart? I discussed with Xiao Kui and asked it to release its energy into the system, and then its size will shrink. This way, it can stay above your head and bask in the sun at any time without attracting attention. Moreover, if someone attacks you from behind, it will notice it immediately."
"You don't have to worry. I taught it how to absorb and release energy. If it needs to fight, it can quickly absorb energy and grow bigger. Isn't that great?"
Although it is a bit silly to have a sunflower on the head, I have to say that Adam's idea is really great. Otherwise, given the large size of the sunflower, it would be difficult to carry it with you at all times and keep it in the sun at all times.
"Yeah, that's great, thank you," Xie Sen praised, and couldn't help asking, "Can we move to another place? The top of my head is a bit of an eye-catcher."
Especially since he is shorter than many people here, when others see him, they can see the plant on his head at a glance. The golden flowers among his black hair are hard to ignore.
"Of course, anywhere is fine, but it's more convenient to bask in the sun up there!"
Xie Sen thought for a moment and said, "Just put it on your left or right shoulder. It doesn't matter which side you put it on. Just don't put it on your head. When there's no sun, just take it back."
Then Maine and the other two saw the little sunflower suddenly disappear from above Xie Sen's head and reappear on his right shoulder.
"Wow, they can change positions!" Long Teng said in surprise.
Xie Sen smiled, not knowing how to explain, and said vaguely: "It is a sunflower, it needs to bask in the sun, it can't always stay in the space buckle."
Long Teng laughed and said, "Dahei doesn't want to stay in the space forever, he has to come out eventually."
At this time, Flying Lionmon walked in front of them, creating a large shadow.
The flying lion beast turned around where Sunflower was originally, then walked in front of the few people, lowered his head and looked at Xie Sen, his big eyes full of confusion: "Roar~"
Xie Sen thought about it, reached out and touched its chin, but couldn't reach it. Maine immediately knew what he wanted to do. He knew that Xie Sen could communicate with some contracted beasts through contact.
He hugged Xie Sen's waist and lifted him up. Xie Sen was startled and turned his head hurriedly. Maine said, "Don't be afraid, you are very light, and I won't let you fall."
Xie Sen had no doubt about Maine's strength. He was just frightened because it happened so suddenly. He looked at the flying lion beast and raised his hand to touch its chin: "Can you understand what we are saying?"
"Yes, you destroyed the Destroyer?" Flying Lionmon said in a low voice.
Xie Sen asked: "Destroyer? Are you talking about sunflower?"
"I don't know what it's called, but it started growing bigger and bigger not long ago, gradually covering the entire mountain. The mountain is dark, and plants are growing wildly. Animals' nests are being destroyed, and countless animals are forced to leave. It's the destroyer."
Flying Lionmon sighed deeply and said, "I want to destroy it, but it has a strange power. Once I touch it, I can't help but get close to it. I can't do anything to hurt it."
Xie Sen thought, it is indeed so.
Flying Lion Beast stared at him: "You solved the destroyer and protected my home. I have to repay you. It's a pity that you are not the Flying Lion Beast Master, otherwise I am willing to form a bond with you."
Xie Sen looked at Maine: "My friend is, he is very powerful, can you try to form a bond with him?"
Flying Lionmon also looked at Maine: "I originally wanted him to help solve the Destroyer, and if he succeeded, I would form a bond with him. Since you are friends, I will give him a chance, but whether to form a bond depends on his ability."
Xie Sen smiled and conveyed Feishimon's words to Maine. Maine said, "That's exactly what I want. Stand further away."
Xie Sen and the other two walked to the side and watched the confrontation between Flying Lion Beast and Maine.
Long Teng was extremely excited. He looked at Xie Sen with sparkling eyes and said enviously, "It would be great if I could communicate with the contracted beast."
Xie Sen laughed: "Can't you communicate with Dahei?"
Long Teng: "Yeah, hahaha, super cool."
Bai Jiao smiled and exclaimed: "The Plant Beast Master is really amazing."
As they were talking, a sharp aura that seemed to be tangible emanated from Maine and the Flying Lion Beast, and the three of them immediately looked towards the center.
This is a long process of forming a bond. Although Flying Lionmon did not have direct contact with the energy, every time it attacked Sunflower, it would often touch the energy at close range. Its combat effectiveness was greatly improved under the influence of the energy.
The original abilities of S-level contracted beasts are very strong.
Unlike Feilongmon, which is very fond of and obsessed with shiny things, Longteng caters to its preferences and reduces the difficulty of the contract-making process.
The confrontation between Maine and Flying Lion Beast was a real confrontation. The only thing that made Xie Sen feel at ease was that the confrontation was based on momentum, not a real fight.
As time passed, Maine's complexion became paler and paler, but his eyes became brighter and brighter, like a knife being sharpened and becoming sharper.
After a long time, Flying Lion finally lay down, resting its chin on its front paws, and looked at Maine with admiration in its big eyes. Maine was soaked with sweat, and at first glance he thought he had been caught in the rain. He walked slowly but firmly to Flying Lion and began the bond ceremony.
The ceremony ended with a firm oath, and Maine fell into a coma and fell on Flying Lionmon.
Xie Sen's heart tightened, and he rushed over and held him in his arms. Bai Jiao quickly checked Maine's condition: "It's okay, he's exhausted, just take a good rest."
The flying lion beast tilted its head and roared softly, but its voice was not as strong as before. It was obvious that it was also very tired. Xie Sen rubbed it, and it let out a comfortable low hum from its throat.
After discussing it, the three decided to go back to the previous tent first, where there was extra firewood and it was close to a water source, making it a great place to rest.
Although Maine was not strong, he was tall and muscular, and he was quite heavy. Xie Sen tried to carry him, but failed. In the end, Long Teng effortlessly carried Maine on his back and followed Bai Jiao briskly.
It was three hours later when Maine woke up. Xie Sen had been sitting next to him watching him. When he saw him open his eyes, he quickly came over and asked, "Are you okay?"
Maine reached out and touched his face, a smile spreading across the corners of his mouth: "Very good, just very hungry." Xie Sen couldn't help laughing. Not long ago, their roles were exactly the opposite of what they are now.
They left the tent, and the flying lion beast that was lying on the side with its eyes closed suddenly opened its eyes, walked up to Maine and rubbed against him, "Are you okay?"
Maine's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly calmed down: "Very good."
The flying lion beast said: "You are very powerful, my beast master."
Maine raised his hand and rubbed the side of its neck: "You are not in good mental condition. You need more rest. Do you want to eat?"
"No, just eat it once every two days." Flying Lion Beast said, lying back down and continuing to rest with his eyes closed. Flying Dragon Beast looked at it curiously for a long time, and couldn't help but come closer and chat with it interestedly.
Long Teng and Bai Jiao were grilling meat. Seeing his appearance, they knew that everything was fine. Long Teng waved and said, "Come and sit down. You can eat soon."
The four of them sat around the fire, the aroma of meat filled the air, and rustling sounds were heard all around. When Xie Sen looked over, he saw many wild beasts looking at them with green eyes.
Maine took a quick look and said, "There are more animals."
Long Teng nodded: "Yes, I didn't see many animals before, but suddenly there are so many more."
Bai Jiao said: "Perhaps they knew about the changes in the mountains and came back."
The flying lion beast raised its eyelids to take a look, opened its mouth and roared, and messy footsteps were heard all around. Then, all the beasts that were originally eyeing it hungrily disappeared.
Long Teng laughed loudly: "The flying lion beast is so powerful, the animals in the mountains seem to be very afraid of it!"
After eating the barbecue, Xie Sen took out a big watermelon and the four of them shared it.
After eating, the four of them discussed and decided to head west down the mountain, looking for medicinal herbs and edible plants as they went. They encountered many animals along the way, but there was no danger at all. After seeing the flying lion beast, they all fled in panic, often accompanied by shrill howls.
Xie Sen found it a little funny. Flying Lion Beast hadn't done anything yet!
The road in the mountains was not easy to walk on. Many plants were affected by the wood energy and their roots grew rapidly, forming obstacles on the ground. There were many trees in the mountains, which were not suitable for flying. Dahei walked on his four paws, flicking his tail along the way, and cleared a smooth path.
It is not known whether there were originally many plants in the Yamu continent or whether it was affected by the wood energy, but they found many herbs and edible plants.
Xie Sen also collected a lot of tree seeds. He didn't recognize some of the trees, but because he saw that the trunks were straight and beautiful, he collected them specially. There were also some trees he was familiar with, such as pine trees and camphor trees.
He planned to plant tall trees around the land he bought, and then clear a space to plant shorter trees to create a miniature forest. They could also plant a few trees next to their villa to improve the environment.
"Wow, what a big fruit." Long Teng shouted excitedly and quickly rushed to the front.
Xie Sen looked over and immediately quickened his pace to walk over, with surprise in his eyes. It was actually durian! Durian is a magical fruit. There are many people who like and dislike it. Xie Sen likes to eat it, and he knows very well that durian has high nutritional value.
The citizens of Brandt Star rely on drinking nutrient solution to obtain the plant nutrients they need. Xie Sen couldn't recommend the taste of that synthetic liquid.
Long Teng poked it curiously, but felt it prickly so he stopped touching it. He looked around and prepared to leave. He always did this when he saw strange plants along the way. He had a childlike curiosity.
Xie Sen called out, "Come and help, pick them all." As he said that, he picked one at the bottom, put it in his backpack, and then continued picking.
After hearing this, Maine started picking durian without asking any questions.
"What are you picking this for?" Long Teng was puzzled.
Bai Jiao looked at the durian tree and asked in confusion, "What kind of plant is this? I have no impression of it."
Xie Sen smiled and said, "Durian is a kind of fruit that can be eaten. It tastes very fragrant, is rich in nutrients, and is good for the body."
Bai Jiao's eyes lit up when he heard this and he started to work. In his eyes, anything that could be used as medicine was a treasure.
Long Teng picked one up by the stem and twisted it in his hand. His eyes sparkled as he picked a sharp corner with a raised edge and took a bite: "Pah, pah, pah, it's too hard and not tasty."
Xie Sen turned his head and looked at him and couldn't help laughing: "That's not how you eat it. We'll eat one after we pick it."
Hearing this, Long Teng put the fruit in his hand into his backpack, looked up, climbed up the tree, and started picking from the top. Xie Sen and Bai Jiao picked the fruit from the bottom, while Maine and Long Teng both climbed up the tree.
The ones below were all picked in a short while. Xie Sen looked up and saw that there were only a few on the branches that had spread out. He said quickly, "Just pick these. Leave some so they can grow more in the future."
Maine and Long Teng jumped down from the tree. Long Teng immediately walked up to Xie Sen and asked expectantly, "How do you eat?"
Xie Sen took out the knife he used to cut watermelons, cut a knife on the top of the durian, and then used his hands to split the durian in two, revealing the yellow flesh inside, which exuded the fragrance of durian.
Xie Sen peeled off a piece of fruit flesh and looked at the three people's expressions: "Do you think this smell is unpleasant?"
The three of them shook their heads. Xie Sen handed the fruit flesh to Long Teng, and gave a piece to Maine and Bai Jiao. Finally, he took a piece for himself and took a bite. The rich aroma instantly filled his taste buds. Xie Sen's eyes curved. It was delicious!
He looked at Maine, wondering if he was used to the smell. Maine said, "It smells good."
"Delicious!" Long Teng finished eating quickly, his eyes shining, "I didn't expect the skin to be sharp and hard, but the inside is so fragrant and soft."
Bai Jiao said: "The taste is a bit strange, but it's not bad."
Seeing that they didn't mind it, Xie Sen smiled and changed his mind. They had been drinking that weird-tasting nutrient solution since they were little, so as long as it didn't taste worse than that one, they should be able to accept it!
The four of them continued to move forward. When it began to get dark, they discussed whether to return or stay in the Holy Mountain. Bai Jiao looked at the endless forest with shining eyes: "The Holy Mountain is like a huge treasure house. We have only walked a small area. I want to explore more."
Long Teng said: "The mountains are very interesting. There are many things I have never seen before. Let's stay in the mountains!"
Xie Sen nodded: "Okay." The four of them had their own purposes for their trip. The four of them formed a group, and the trip was considered a success only when everyone achieved their goals.
Besides, since he had finally come here, he didn't want to leave in a hurry. He also wanted to find more plants to change the painful days of eating meat every day.
The four made a lot of preparations before the trip. Because they were uncertain about the climate environment of the small planet, they brought a lot of things, including food supply equipment, cold-proof equipment, accommodation equipment... to deal with various possible situations.
They each bought a large storage space for this purpose, which cost them a lot of money.
Lying in the tent, Xie Sen sighed that money is indeed a good thing. Even in the forest of a primitive planet, they can sleep comfortably.
The next day, they continued to look for plants. When it was almost noon, there were bursts of eagle cries in the sky above the forest. The flying lion beast walked to Maine and said, "It's an orc from the eagle tribe."
Maine told the others what he had said. Xie Sen listened to the eagles' cries one after another and was puzzled: "They are calling like this, it doesn't seem like they are trying to find out what's going on."
Bai Jiao said: "It feels like it's calling something... maybe it's looking for us. This is our third day in the forest."
After he said that, Xie Sen also felt that it was very likely. After the four of them discussed it, Maine and Xie Sen sat on the back of the flying lion beast, and Long Teng and Bai Jiao sat on the back of the flying dragon beast. The two took off at the same time and flew quickly over the mountain.
The flying dragon beast shouted at a group of eagles not far away. The giant eagles heard the sound and looked towards them. Then the whole group of eagles seemed to be struck by a magic bullet. They forgot to flap their wings and fell straight down.
One of them suddenly came to its senses and let out a loud cry, while the rest of the giant eagles flapped their wings to steady themselves.
The giant eagle flew to five meters away from them and stopped, calling at them. However, Xie Sen and the others could not understand what it said, but Flying Lion Beast and Flying Dragon Beast did understand.
Flying Lionmon said, "He said he was glad to see you were okay, and then he was surprised why I was with you."
Feilongmon also translated its words to Longteng.
Xie Sen: "It seems like he is really here to find us. It's not convenient to talk like this. Let's find a place to talk!"
Maine nodded: "Let's go to the foot of the mountain." Flying Lionmon quickly flew to the foot of the mountain, and Flying Dragonmon followed closely behind it.
Not long after, the eagles all landed and turned into seven tall men. The one in the front was Fuser. Without saying a word, they knelt down in front of the flying lion beast.
"God of Beasts above."
