About half an hour later, Taotie slowly peeked out from behind the stone statue and whispered, "I will definitely do what I promised, but let's make it clear beforehand that you can't hit me."
Xie Zhou quickly nodded in agreement.
Soon, the Taotie rushed over and bit Xie Zhou.
"hiss……"
Its canine tooth pierced the index finger, and a drop of blood dripped into its forehead.
After quickly signing a spiritual contract, Taotie became her pet.
Xie Zhou didn't hold his earlier actions against him; it was all for the sake of finalizing the contract.
Taotie was still very scared, so Xie Zhou squatted down and carefully touched Taotie with his hand.
He said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. Since I am your master, I will never let you suffer, and I will never bully you. You are so cute, I don't know what name to give you."
Looking at the Taotie, which was entirely black except for its nose, with white feet and belly, there was no need to give it a fancy name. At this moment, the system said, "Let's call it Dark Cloud Covering Snow."
Xie Zhou nodded in agreement, but said aloud, "Xiao Hei! You'll be called Xiao Hei! Taotie doesn't sound right for you, Xiao Hei!"
Taotie has no way of recognizing its owner.
"It's more important to get down to business," Xie Zhou said, taking out the key and placing it in front of Xiao Hei.
Do you recognize this key?
Xiao Hei told Xie Zhou, "I know it. I have an identical one. This key is the key to the tomb of the Burning Heaven Emperor who killed Taotie!"
"And who is the Burning Heaven Emperor?"
Xiao Hei shook its head and said, "I don't know, after all, it was a long, long time ago. Because I was sealed for too long, I need all kinds of treasures to restore my strength, so naturally I have many treasures on hand. If you don't mind, please take them..."
Xie Zhou smiled when she saw Xiao Hei's somewhat embarrassed look. However, she noticed one thing: these pets that had signed contracts all liked to give their so-called treasures to their masters, which was quite good.
Xiao Hei handed over some of the cultivation techniques he had captured to Xie Zhou, but Xie Zhou wasn't very interested in them. However, since Chaos needed Soul Grass, Xie Zhou asked Xiao Hei, "Xiao Hei, don't you have any Soul Grass?"
Xiao Hei looked puzzled and tilted his head, asking, "What is Soul Grass? Is it a kind of grass?"
It began to search and soon found something that resembled grass.
Looking at this Soul Grass that shimmered with a crystal-clear light before the New Year, its origin was indeed quite clear.
Xie Zhou's face instantly lit up with a smile. She carefully placed the Soul Grass in her bosom, afraid that it would be destroyed, and wrapped it with spiritual power.
With this Soul Grass, chaos can be saved.
The system was also very happy to see this.
Without further ado, and not daring to waste any time, Xie Zhou hurriedly summoned Chaos from his storage space.
"Chaos, we're about to be saved, you have to hold on!"
Before long, Chaos appeared in Xie Zhou's arms. At this time, Chaos was extremely thin.
It was as if it was struggling to survive. Xie Zhou's eyes were full of heartache. He quickly placed the Soul Grass next to Chaos, but Chaos was not able to digest and absorb the power of the Soul Grass on its own at this time.
So Xie Zhou had no choice but to pry open Chaos's mouth, chop up the Soul Grass, and feed it to Chaos. During this time, Chaos tried to force the grass into its mouth, but it instinctively spat it out, unable to eat it at all.
Xie Zhou was getting anxious and asked, "System, do you have any other ideas? We can't eat Chaos at all right now... What should we do?"
I understand her anxiety, but this is the only way to proceed right now, because the Soul Grass is for direct use; it's impossible for one person to absorb it and then give it to someone else.
Xie Zhou gathered the chopped soul grass together and put it into its mouth.
"Eat up...eat up!"
Inevitably, the Taotie came to help, allowing it to eat the Soul Grass.
After several attempts, Chaos finally managed to absorb the power of the Soul Grass.
Chaos's body was slowly recovering, and a quarter of an hour later, the Soul Grass healed Chaos's injuries.
Xie Zhou was very happy to see that the chaos had been restored.
I picked up Chaos and ruffled its soft fur a few times.
"Master, Chaos has returned..."
"Um!"
It's time to leave now; the sealed artifact has been retrieved.
Then Xiao Hei spoke first: "Master, let's leave here. Where do you want to go, Master?"
"Then let's go back to the place I just came from!"
Xiao Hei nodded, and a ball of light popped out of its mouth. After circling around them, the ball of light activated a teleportation array.
After passing through the teleportation array, Xiao Hei, Xie Zhou, and the others were transported to the outside of the forbidden area.
Xie Zhou looked at this familiar place, where she was sure she could see Senior Brother Song and the others.
As if on cue, Cao Cao appeared. Just then, Xie Zhou looked up and saw that Senior Brother Song and the others were not far away from him. He was teleported directly to Senior Brother Song and the others.
Xie Zhou was very happy. He patted Xiao Hei's head as if praising him and said, "Well done!"
She waved and walked towards Senior Brother Song and the others, but the closer she got, the more she heard the sounds of swords clashing.
"Senior Brother Song!..."
Song Wu, who was fighting the man in black, couldn't hear her cries at all and kept fighting with his sword.
A man in black slashed fiercely at Song Wu with his sword. He tried to block with his own sword, but he couldn't withstand the attacks from the men in black behind him. Each of them thrust their swords straight into Song Wu's back.
He gritted his teeth, showing no sign of pain, and pushed away the black-clad men who were attacking him. The other disciples rushed over to help, and the black-clad men slit their throats with a single sword strike.
Song Wu was led away by his disciples. On one side stood disciples of the Worry-Free Pavilion, and on the other side were men in black.
"Bang!"
Xie Zhou then quickly arrived at the battlefield and discovered that the group of men in black were from the Temple of the Dead.
Xie Zhou descended from the sky, his sword technique kicking up dust from the ground. The clumps of earth and the aftershocks of his attack quickly drove back the row of men in black.
Xie Zhou then discovered that Song Wu had been severely injured. He moved some of the seriously injured disciples aside, while his own disciples were struggling to hold on. They had gotten into some kind of conflict with the Hall of the Dead and suddenly started fighting.
Xie Zhou showed no mercy to the people of the Hall of the Dead. He pulled the remaining disciples aside and quickly killed them all with a few sword moves.
With blood still glistening at the corner of his mouth, Song Wu looked at the white-clad woman who stood out among the group of black figures and said, "Thank you, Junior Sister..."
After defeating those people, Xie Zhou hurriedly came over to check on the injuries of Senior Brother Song and the others.
