Starting With Contract Pets Chapter 325
Advertisement
"Yes, the gain this time was great!" Su Bai said excitedly.
He then told his pets about the two summoner skills, Life Seed and Water Card.
Purple Jade: (゚⊿゚)ツ
Little Tyrant: Σ(゚∀゚ノ)ノ
Time Ghost: Σ(°△°|||)_
"Howl!" Ah Bai, hurry up and gather a Life Seed for all of us! This summoner skill is really too powerful! the elf widened its eyes and said.
The dino hugged his thigh. "Roar!" My great Ah Bai, I also want a Life Seed so that I won't be afraid of death in the future!
Time Ghost also clung onto his arm. "Hasi hasi!"
Even Little Blood Dragon and Mewling Fox expressed their desires for their respective Life Seeds. This way, they could be resurrected even after they died.
Even the simple-minded Starry Omnivore Kraken made a rumbling sound, indicating that it also wanted one.
"Hahaha! Don't worry, everyone. No need to fight as I can condense a Life Seed for each of you," Su Bai looked at his enthusiastic pets and said.
After mobilizing his contract book, he first condensed a Life Seed for the elf. As its soul and origin were extracted, combined with the law of life condensed by the contract book, a light green pattern appeared on the elf's contract page.
At the same time, in its space, a green ball of light appeared and exuded a breath of life. This ball of light lay on an altar as it pulsated faint fluorescence.
"Howl!" I feel like I have gained a deeper connection with the contract book and with Ah Bai~ the elf blinked and said coquettishly.
"Roar!" It's my turn now! The dino ran over eagerly. Who did not want to have an extra life?
Su Bai finished making Life Seeds for all his pets, including the ten krakens.
The only one that had no condensed Life Seed was the Ice Phoenix, which had left him. According to what he perceived from his contract book, that runaway pet of his was only a mid-level emperor.
This was as he expected. Yes, it was talented and hard-working, but it was too cautious and did not seek opportunities. Naturally, it would have a difficult time advancing without any treasures to aid it.
After thinking about it, he still initiated a Life Seed application through their contract link. He wanted to help the phoenix condense a Life Seed if it would allow that as it was still contracted to him at the end of the day.
Furthermore, the impact of its death would be too great on him.
There was no way that he would know that the Ice Phoenix had become accustomed to the life of an ordinary seagull, taking its breath on an ice cliff and absorbing the element of ice between heaven and earth.
"Quack, quack!"
The ball of light, which had suddenly appeared in front of it, made the phoenix jump up as it thought that a monster had discovered and was now attacking it. The phoenix opened its mouth and threw a Thousand Miles Freeze skill, instantly freezing the sea, fish, and shrimps below.
However, the ball of light in front of it was still there. After finding that the light sphere posed no danger, the phoenix exhaled deeply. "Quack!" It turned out to be something my owner had sent over. Scared me to death!
Changing to a safe environment again, it cautiously sensed the ball of light in front of it, and then became a little ashamed. "I didn't expect such a good thing, Master still remembers me, and hasn't forgotten about me yet."

Ever prudent, once it determined that the light sphere was not dangerous and could even allow itself to be reborn if it died, the phoenix did not hesitate to swallow the ball, allowing it to take away a trace of its soul and origin.
I didn't expect Ah Bai to have advanced so quickly…
Ice Phoenix remembered the scene when it left its master. At that time, it thought that it would definitely advance faster than he did and that master might even become a stumbling block and a hindrance to its promotion.
In the end, the phoenix found that after leaving, it was no better off. In three years' time, Su Bai had actually risen by three levels, from an elite to a heavenly king Pet Tamer.
Every once in a while, it felt shocked when it sensed the promotion of Su Bai's contract book.
The phoenix had already gone to many places and seen many things. Although it was still very cautious, it had already understood that, while this world was indeed dangerous, those powerful monsters did not exist everywhere.
It had indeed been overly cautious in the past.
Ice Phoenix actually regretted leaving its master.
Feeling the power of some laws appearing out of thin air inside its body, the phoenix knew that this was the benefit that Su Bai had brought to itself upon his promotion to the heavenly king-level summoner.
Purple Jade and the others may already be sovereigns.
Looking at the snowy-white world before it, Ice Phoenix had mixed emotions.
Shaking its head, it decided not to dwell on these matters anymore and to work harder, instead.
"The phoenix has accepted the offer. It seems that she's still afraid of death as always."
Su Bai looked at the newly condensed Life Seed on the contract page, which belonged to the Ice Phoenix, and could not help but shake his head.
Thinking about it carefully now, he had truly let the Ice Phoenix go at the beginning in a fit of pique.
In fact, as a newly hatched pet that was still bound by the ideological stamp of 'the world is very dangerous' in its memory, the phoenix's behavior then was normal.
On the contrary, it was his fault as an adult for being petty with a had-yet-to-mature pet.
Moreover, if something did happen to Ice Phoenix, he would be implicated.
"Howl?" Ah Bai, did Ice Phoenix condensed the Life Seed? the elf looked at his contract book and asked.
"Yes, she did!" He nodded in response.
"Roar?" What level is Ice Phoenix now? asked the dino, feeling curious.
"She's already a mid-level emperor and even reached that grade in such a short time by herself. Look at how you are." He poked Little Tyrant and gave it a side-eye.
"Roar!" She only focuses on cultivating all day long; no one can compare with her!
The dino shrugged, not threatened at all. It had no wish to compete with Ice Phoenix.
"Time Ghost, are there any good treasures around?" Su Bai rubbed the ghost's head.
"Hasi!" Ultimate Invincible shook its head to say that there was no more and that there was only one treasure in this part.
"Okay, we can't delay any longer. The others are about to catch up; we have to find a way to break through the last three barriers," Su Bai looked at the barrier in the distance and said after adjusting his mood.
There were relatively few treasures in this ruin because the flow of time was too fast and many treasures could not survive besides the excellent treasures.

Su Bai had only collected treasures at this level.
One reason was that he did not want to expose himself; another was that there were only a few barriers from the innermost point. By the time those people arrived here, he had already entered the next layer.
Also, from here on, the quality of the treasures rose linearly.
"Roar." Just let Pipi bite a few holes on it directly. After we go in, let it swallow the space near the hole and bring out the Mist of Destruction. It's a great idea since the other people can't enter that way, either.
The dino took out a piece of ore and fed it to the Starry Omnivore Kraken, which swallowed it happily. It was always easy forming a deep friendship with it; one just had to give the kraken food.
"Alright. Let's give that a try, then."
Su Bai glanced at the eager Starry Omnivore Kraken and then nodded.
Indeed, compared to other methods, this was the fastest and the least labor-intensive.
After flying to the third-to-last barrier, he glanced at his pet kraken.
"Onom!"
With a flick of its tail, Pipi Kraken rushed out directly and opened its mouth to swallow the barrier.
However, with two bangs, it bounced back directly. Despite biting down on it, the barrier remained intact.
Su Bai checked it for any injury and fortunately found none.
"Onom~"
The kraken shook its head, indicating that its posture had been wrong and that it would like to try again.
It then flew to the edge of the barrier first, opened its mouth to swallow the nearby space, and spread its body to both sides, eating up most of the sky and the ground.
Su Bai did not stop the kraken and just let it enjoy eating.
As it swallowed more and more areas, the Mist of Destruction spread. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that it was present inside the barrier.
"Onom, onom~"
Pipi Kraken flew over and indicated for Su Bai and the others to enter its mouth as it would take them across the Mist of Destruction.
"Don't you swallow us down." He patted its head.
"Onom~
Just as he was about to open his mouth and exhort it again, it grew bigger and opened its huge mouth to swallow them all in.
Su Bai only felt that it had gotten dark before everything was swallowed by this darkness. From a distance, he could see rows of gigantic snow-white peaks, each of which was higher than Mount Everest.
He knew that those were the teeth of the Starry Omnivore Kraken.
Everything else was fine; there was no strange smell of the ilk. In fact, it was very clean and hygienic inside his pet's mouth.
"Howl~" Brother Pipi's mouth is really big! the elf exclaimed.
After a bit, Starry Omnivore Kraken opened its mouth and vomited them out.
"Onom!"
The kraken rushed to Su Bai's arms as it flicked its tail again, indicating that they had passed through.
Su Bai looked around and saw the layer of transparent barrier. They were already inside the barrier.
Further away, he could faintly see some aura fluctuations; those people were not far behind them.
"Howl!" Ah Bai, those people should've caught up; they're only several layers away. Some of the vegetation I left behind has just perceived violent fluctuations of spiritual power, which should've been caused by them breaking the barriers, howled the elf.
"Let's see if there are any treasures on this layer; if there aren't any, we'll go to the next layer as soon as possible."
Su Bai smiled.
His pets immediately started exploring. Not long after, a dark attribute treasure was discovered on this floor—a bunch of weird skeletons.
This pile of skeletons were all immortal monsters when they were still alive. Most of their energy had been absorbed by the bear-like skeleton in the middle, so its skeleton looked like tungsten steel. In fact, even the dino expended much effort just to get it.
"Roar." If the souls of these skeletons hadn't all dissipated, they would've definitely become departed spirits, Little Tyrant said.
Su Bai put away the skeletons and said, "Let's go to the next layer; once we pass through that, we'll reach the central area."
The bear-like skeleton contained almost the complete law of darkness, especially since it was an immortal monster when alive. As such, the immortal Tao blood and seeds were integrated into it. It was a good thing, but he had no time to study it for the time being.
Starry Omnivore Kraken repeated its previous maneuver and soon brought everyone across the barrier.
The temperature of this layer was a lot colder. Su Bai looked around and found two good things.
One was a time crystal of the ice attribute, containing a complete law of ice and a lot of time force.
Once taken, it could let nearly billion years of vicissitudes of ice crystal formation.
If detonated, its power could permanently freeze a world.
The other was an ancient crystal with a high concentration of the law of time; its function was to return the user to three minutes ago, but it was limited to one existence.
These were extremely precious treasures, as only a few fragments of the origin world had formed after countless years.
"Let's go across this barrier to reach the central altar!"
Su Bai stood in front of the barrier. It was unfortunately not transparent, so he could not see what was on the other side of it.
"Hasi, hasi!" Time Ghost expressed that it could perceive its own soul inside.
"Onom~"
Starry Omnivore Kraken continued to use its previous method. Although this barrier was strong and brimmed with Mist of Destruction and the law of nothingness was unattainable, it still easily passed through this last barrier.
The last layer was still a dark environment, which was very suitable for sleeping. Su Bai even guessed that this might be one of the reasons.
In the central area, he could clearly see an altar with a diameter of more than one kilometer. The altar had many carvings or formations of mysterious patterns.
Countless monster bones could be seen on top of the altar; they all had different time aura. Looking closely, the monster bones were actually immortal-level or even eternal-level.
However, at this moment, the law of time on their body was already very thin; it seemed like they had been absorbed by the large pet egg in the center.
In the center of the altar was a three-meter-tall pet egg. This was the complete time attribute pet, Time Dragon, that Time Ghost had mentioned before.
At this time, the dragon egg appeared in that dreamy translucent color. Apart from being a little bigger, the whole egg looked unremarkable. Only the breath of time around it showed its difference.
On top of the egg was a huge crack over half a meter. Having been almost fully repaired, only this crack could be seen.
It was from this crack position that the long hair-like transparent tentacles swelled out, which spread to almost all the area, and even farther, above the altar.
The Time Dragon egg was inside the mouth of a huge dragon head, with flesh and blood and exuding the powerful aura of time and Tao.
It was this dragon head that had formed the vortex nearby. The law of time was also constantly attracted to this dragon head as it remained immersed in the dragon egg of time.
In addition, life-like gray and red mists continuously drilled out of a gray mist vortex at the center of the dragon's head. After turning around the egg a few times, this mist merged with it and then the hair-like transparent tentacles grew longer.
"Roar?" What is that? Why do I feel a tremor all over my body?
Little Tyrant looked at the gray and red mist, which seemed to be alive, and could not help taking two steps back.
Fortunately, the gray mist seemed to be only interested in the Time Dragon egg, and even when they came over, it did not show any aggressiveness.
Su Bai looked at the egg and its data appeared before his eyes. However, the information was so frightening that he did not know what to say for a while.
