Chapter 55: Hell Ghost Vine
Under Bai Lian’s guidance, Song Tiantian finally found the Hell Ghost Vine.
She looked at the sky-piercing vine, which resembled a towering ancient tree.
“I smell the aura of an old acquaintance. You were introduced by Bai Lian.”
【What’s going on with Bai Lian, to send such a weak little girl to find me! 】
“Yes!”
Song Tiantian looked at the Hell Ghost Vine, somewhat surprised. She could feel its immense power, a terrifying spiritual energy fluctuation that seemed like it would crush her to death with the slightest movement.
Song Tiantian was not afraid. She wanted to form a contract with the Hell Ghost Vine. If it saw her timid appearance, it would surely refuse to contract with her.
Song Tiantian opened the Pet Beast Manual:
Hell Ghost Vine: Prefers blood meals, especially fresh blood, dislikes the smell of blood…
This recipe is unbelievable, it even requires fresh blood. This is hard to raise!
Song Tiantian felt like backing out!
She thought the Hell Ghost Vine would be like Bai Lian, just needing some water and being easy to care for.
It likes to drink blood; wouldn’t she have to kill fierce beasts every day?
However, fresh blood combined with Schisandra Berry spiritual plants could effectively remove the fishy smell of fresh blood while perfectly preserving its taste.
Song Tiantian happened to have collected Schisandra Berry.
“Do you know why you’re here?”
“To contract a Pet Beast! I believe Senior must have something suitable for me to contract.”
Song Tiantian knew the fierce beast before her was definitely high-level, and with her current strength, contracting it was impossible.
“Fine. Since Bai Lian sent you, I assume you won’t disappoint me. We vines reproduce asexually; my junior is me.”
【I hope Bai Lian isn’t tricking me! This woman should be able to accommodate my mental energy. If I really had no other choice and couldn’t bear it any longer, I wouldn’t have chosen to contract her!
Never mind, there are no useless Beast Tamers, only useless Pet Beasts.
As long as she’s obedient, no matter how useless, with it, she’ll be the strongest Beast Tamer. 】
With that said, the vine before her rapidly withered and turned yellow in an instant.
A small green vine grew from the withered large vine. Song Tiantian cooperatively extended her fingertip, cut her finger, and a drop of fresh blood flowed out, dripping onto the vine.
【No way! This woman is too stingy. I am a dignified Nine-star Spiritual Plant. Even though I failed my promotion and became a Two-star Spiritual Plant, it’s only a matter of time before I’m promoted to a Nine-star Spiritual Plant again. To give just one drop of blood is truly bullying a beast! 】
【Wait, this drop of blood is quite tasty. This woman does have her merits. No wonder Bai Lian recommended her! 】
【This woman’s mental power is so strong. 】
【This Pet Beast Space is also so vast! 】
【She’s about to break through. Wait, my remains are the body of a Nine-star Fierce Beast, full of spiritual energy, the most precious thing here. It’s too much of a waste to leave it here. 】
Song Tiantian heard the Hell Ghost Vine’s inner voice and immediately collected its corpse into the Pet Beast Space.
After Song Tiantian collected the Hell Ghost Vine’s corpse.
The Wudaokou Secret Realm also shattered at that moment.
A massive rift appeared in the sky.
Song Tiantian vaguely saw boundless, powerful fierce beasts, like an ocean, so immense.
They were scrambling to climb out of the rift.
A streak of cyan light blocked the rift, and Song Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief, relaxing as she began her breakthrough.
Three-star Beast Tamer.
Everything was that simple.
The Hell Ghost Vine itself contained too much spiritual energy.
Song Tiantian had to break through to digest it.
“Tiantian, you truly are the most amazing. I knew you could successfully contract my good brother.”
Bai Lian excitedly circled Song Tiantian.
After Song Tiantian’s breakthrough, Dr. Bai had put on his glasses, and the cyan light in his eyes had disappeared.
Dr. Bai’s complexion was extremely pale.
He looked as if he couldn’t stand steadily.
Song Tiantian quickly supported Dr. Bai.
“Tiantian, no need to support me, my Owner is fine!”
Bai Lian was about to say something more when Dr. Bai forcibly put it into the Pet Beast Space.
Seeing Dr. Bai’s pale appearance, Song Tiantian immediately took out a bottle of flower tea she had brewed earlier and offered it to Dr. Bai’s lips: “Doctor, please drink some tea! Rest a bit!”
Dr. Bai took a large gulp of flower tea and instructed the person standing behind him, “The Wudaokou Secret Realm has shattered. Everyone and the fierce beasts inside will be teleported out. However, this secret realm has a strength limit; most of the fierce beasts inside are at most Three-star. Capture all of them. The quality of this batch of fierce beasts is good; they should fetch a good price.”
“Doctor, please rest assured! We’ve already set up a perfect trap. Not a single one of these fierce beasts will escape.”
After the person left, Song Tiantian asked Dr. Bai, “Doctor, the Law Enforcement Officers of the Capital City are truly amazing. How could they set everything up so quickly?”
“I had them prepare this in advance. Once you successfully contracted the Hell Ghost Vine, the secret realm would shatter. How could I not have made preparations?”
“Doctor, you’re too amazing. How did you know I would definitely succeed in contracting it?”
After Song Tiantian finished speaking and saw Dr. Bai remain silent, she asked him again, “Doctor, why was I able to contract the Hell Ghost Vine? It’s so powerful! We are not on the same level at all.”
“Just as you said, contracting a Pet Beast is like falling in love. If the other party doesn’t want to fall in love with you, you have to put in a lot of effort. You need to be stronger than them to have a chance to contract them.”
“But if the other party is willing, contracting with them becomes a very simple matter!”
“Doctor, you know that’s not what I wanted to ask!”
“You want to ask why the Hell Ghost Vine, a Nine-star Fierce Beast, became a Two-star Fierce Beast to contract with you, right?”
Song Tiantian nodded like a pecking chick.
“Because it failed its promotion. Without a contracted Owner, every promotion is extremely dangerous. Their mental energy becomes filled with a large amount of fierce and malevolent qi, which can easily destroy their consciousness.”
High-level fierce beasts, to preserve their consciousness, would discard most of their power and choose to contract with humans.
Of course, if the human they contract with is strong enough to help them digest this fierce and malevolent qi and provide enough vital energy for them to recover from their injuries, they wouldn’t actually need to discard this power and could retain it.”
“Doctor, you are so powerful, why didn’t you contract it!”
“This secret realm only allows Two-star Beast Tamers to enter.”
Dr. Bai shook his cup as he spoke, signaling Song Tiantian to refill it for him.
He had drunk all the flower tea in the cup.
Song Tiantian then remembered that Dr. Bai had told her about this rule long ago, but she had forgotten.
