Chapter 272: Flying Sword Supercar, 【anti-law】mount
After the Tiger Demon subdued this white male deer, it stared fiercely at the Brain Eggplant parasitizing on top of its head, which had successfully hijacked the brain and entire nervous system, then fell into thought.
It had to admit the aesthetic ability of the dead Sword Cultivator ghost who had spared this White Deer’s life back then.
At this moment, the Tiger Demon used Shadow Handprint to seize and suppress a pair of piercing sword cries from the Deer Head Swords. Without this pair of grotesque little heads, the male deer returned to a normal appearance level:
Snow-white all over, with a sleek figure and smooth lines, there wasn’t a single trace of distortion anywhere on its body. Especially those already ossified, lush bifurcated antlers, with each tip being a sharp Sword Shape. They were both like extremely dangerous weapons and like handicrafts polished from some gem.
The Tiger Demon could now fully understand why the Sword Cultivator who had refined the Deer Head Swords back then would risk severe vital energy loss to forcibly capture it and stubbornly refine it into a Mount or Flying Sword.
In the aesthetics of the Tiger Demon and Snake Snake, it was also a rare Auspicious Omen. Although the pollution degree wasn’t high and it didn’t even have a Seed, it aroused their strong desire to collect.
People always have the thought of possessing beautiful things they see. For example, after seeing Miao Miao in Taixi City, he often thought of her obsessively; another example, seeing a bulingbuling shiny gem by the roadside, he wanted to pick it up and pocket it.
The White Male Deer before them was the same; the Tiger Demon’s first thought was to forcibly subdue it and turn it into a mount in Human Stance! If this guy could be nurtured further, it would even be more precious and valuable than Earth’s supercars.
Huh…?
The Tiger Demon suddenly had a flash of inspiration: when Mount and Flying Sword didn’t conflict, wouldn’t it be possible to obtain a rideable White Deer Flying Sword? It would retain the auspicious and stylish appearance of the White Deer while also having the Flying Sword’s attribute of high-speed flight through the air (mobility). A genuine Supercar!
It hurriedly asked: “Snake Snake, do you want to ride it?”
Snake Snake nodded vigorously: “Yes yes yes! This guy’s size is big and stylish enough, indeed suitable to be your mount, Boss. Riding it out would be super impressive. Moreover, it’s a rare beast in this vast mountain forest that hasn’t been twisted by mental pollution, still retaining rationality and a healthy body.”
The White Male Deer was naturally one of the polluted creatures, and moreover a very powerful little BOSS within a radius of a dozen li. When Snake Snake said its body was healthy, she meant the Power of Pollution in its body had been tamed into benign controllable pollution, belonging to a half-naturally born extraordinary wild beast.
The Tiger Demon continued: “Do you think it’s worth wasting an Anti-Law slot on it?”
Before subduing this White Deer, it had never considered wasting a precious Anti-Law Contract on wild animals without higher intelligence. Those qualified to sign Anti-Law had to at least possess higher consciousness, understand self-exploitation and squeeze, and crazily repay loans—true intelligent life forms!
Snake Snake: “For the sake of its beautiful appearance, giving it a slot is fine. Anyway, we still have plenty of slots now.”
Anti-Law Shadow had a total of five groups of vacancies, each with five slots. Group A was occupied by five half-blood orcs. Groups B, C, D were respectively signed to Nie Yin, Yuan Tang, Yuan Tiao as group agents.
These four Anti-Law groups each had corresponding project themes: Group A Shadowification Power Path Transformation, Group B Shadowification Frog-Type Magic Potion Exploration, Group C Anti-Law sponsored Insect-Type Alchemy, Group D Anti-Law sponsored Insectoid Armor Casting and Knight System Armor…
Precisely because each group had preset grand goals, Yuan Zhu handed the remaining 12 empty slots in BCD three groups to the three of them.
Authorizing them to represent him in signing new clients, granting Anti-Law blessings, issuing investment amounts, conducting follow-up research, and managing assets for the Anti-Law Master.
Now, Yuan Zhu still had the last five vacancies in Group E. He hadn’t thought of any research theme yet, but unexpectedly encountered this Auspicious White Deer, and couldn’t help but have the thought of signing it.
Snake Snake, as a flattering game sprite, had all her action logic centered on pleasing her own boss and providing emotional value. Under the premise of not affecting the big picture, she preferred to consider things from the starting point of the Boss’s eating, drinking, and fun. Of course, the priority was higher if she could freeload and enjoy together.
Fun together > Boss fun alone > Boss no loss while I sneak fun > Boss and I both no fun
The white skeleton snake tail swam to the Tiger Demon’s front, wrapped several times around the neck continuously, hung by the ear and whispered: “I completely agree with your idea! You’ve worked hard for so long, can’t you enjoy it? Moreover, raising a stylish mount—is that just a plaything wasting ambition and neglecting proper business? Of course not!”
Snake Snake vowed confidently: “Even opening a company requires renting a luxury car to put on a show. Boss, you raising an Auspicious Omen will better highlight your extraordinary nature and integrate better into Du Ling’s extraordinary circle. People first respect clothes before the person—this is also for our undertaking. Signing a Supercar Mount is very reasonable.”
The Tiger Demon, who already had this intention but had been undecided, decisively threw the blame to Little Spicy Stick: it was all her instigation!
Then decisively switched back to Human Stance, opened the Anti-Law Panel, and gave the first Anti-Law Contract slot in Group E to the male deer.
Snake Snake, addicted to taking the blame and laden with sin, didn’t conceal her evil nature at all, instead nodding proudly in silent acknowledgment: “That’s right! It was all my instigation. Yu Jingzi’s blame, I’ll shoulder it! All the infamy has nothing to do with my boss.”
…
The intelligence of the Auspicious White Deer was somewhat unexpectedly low. When Yuan Zhu drafted a Pledge of Servitude level but not harsh Anti-Law Contract, trying to reach an agreement with the other party.
Anti-Law spontaneously judged that the other party couldn’t understand, suspecting inducement and deception, causing the contract to fail.
“? ? ?”
Yuan Zhu widened his eyes, meeting the gaze of the White Deer with equally complex eyes. From the eye play, the other party could understand that he (human form) and the Tiger Demon were the same demonic creature, emitting the same aura (Shadow Pollution), and through body stance and eye expression, conveyed submission and recognition of master to him.
Damn, such an intelligent polluted spirit beast was actually judged by Anti-Law as a ‘fraud contract’ and not established?
Snake Snake suddenly volunteered: “I’ll figure it out! This spirit beast has half-passively stepped onto cultivation, accumulating considerable spirituality. But its essence is a wild beast, never received complete education, not even long-term life with a human owner, thus lacking ‘intelligent life level’ thinking circuits and logic analysis ability.”
“But no need to worry, I can input ‘goblin level’ thinking concepts, basic common sense, logic models into the Brain Eggplant CPU. This is Artificial Stupidity Program minus artificial, forcibly overlaying with the male deer’s ‘beast thinking’, forcing it to elevate to ‘intelligent life level’ to understand your Anti-Law Contract.”
Yuan Zhu: “Your idea is good, I understand it all. But why goblin level thinking circuits? Not human?”
Snake Snake: “Our Brain Eggplant has only been used on Eggplant Head Ghosts, goblins, half-blood orcs. Orcs’ Brain Eggplant data not synced yet; Eggplant Head Ghosts have low intelligence. I’ve only massively performed ‘Brain Eggplant parasitism’ on goblins, read thinking info, fed big data into Artificial Stupidity Program training.”
“After massive calculations from Immortal Scripture, the most mature Artificial Stupidity model in my hands now is the Goblin Thinking Module. It can endow wild beasts with goblin thinking circuits for logical thinking… In the Cultivation World, this is Enlightenment! You as Mountain Lord demon king, with my assistance, widely distributing Brain Eggplants, is like immortals placing hands on heads, enlightening qualified polluted wild beasts into intelligent little demon minions.”
Hearing this, Yuan Zhu granted control permissions of the Brain Eggplant CPU on the White Deer’s head to Snake Snake, letting her perform the operations.
After a round of system upgrade and flashing targeted at the Brain Eggplant CPU, Yuan Zhu also inserted multiple Shadow Memory Sticks (dataized soul fragments. Ghost Companion essence) into the Auspicious White Deer’s head, greatly reinforcing the White Deer’s originally beast-level soul.
At the same time, he performed deep mental pollution and shadow pollution on its soul, greatly increasing the White Deer’s affinity for Shadow Pollution.
In Yuan Zhu’s observation, this White Deer was like growing a new brain, its spirit and thinking forcibly grown and evolved, stuffed hard with a set of thinking ways ordinary animals shouldn’t have, along with massive common sense info.
This pull-seedling growth behavior caused it immense pain, its sleek body struggling wildly. The brain hurt so much it ‘yoyo’ cried out, seven orifices began seeping and flowing out pitch-black polluted blood…
Yuan Zhu hurriedly switched back to Tiger Demon Stance, with a demon king-like stance, casually swung a tiger claw, lightly patted the White Deer, suppressing it to the ground.
As a result, ‘boom!’—the White Deer couldn’t withstand the Tiger Demon’s freakish strength, smashed heavily into the ground, patted into a cracked depression, massive cracks spreading along the rock layers.
The White Deer was also an elite polluted beast; after merely spurting a few mouthfuls of blood mist that dyed the nearby white clouds red, it painfully quieted down. Though its body was still convulsing violently, pinned dead by the Tiger Demon, it couldn’t crawl up and could only choose to accept fate.
Snake Snake recorded this scene and hurriedly flattered: “King is mighty!”
The Tiger Demon ignored her and continued modifying the Anti-Law Contract. After about 20 minutes, the White Deer finally got used to growing a brain, its eyes becoming more spirited.
It compared its lifetime animal experiences, low intelligence, and memories respectively with the Thinking Module + knowledge info that forcibly intruded into its brain.
For example, concepts of wind, clouds, mist, rain, stream, mountains… various animals, plants, all matched accordingly. Then it was like being forcibly chiseled open a window to a new world, forced to open eyes and see the world, as if comprehending everything.
This thinking evolution impact made the White Deer very uncomfortable, but it really ‘passively upgraded’.
At this time, Yuan Zhu switched back to human stance (Anti-Law Master), pouring the newly modified Anti-Law Contract into the White Deer’s brain. Still very generous clauses: Yuan Zhu’s side would provide the White Deer with full extraordinary upgrade, maintenance, education to success… a big package deal.
Even guaranteeing to elevate its intelligence to human level, becoming an intelligent demonic beast, with guaranteed job assignment, employment arrangement, food and lodging included… As the price for Anti-Law investment, it would recognize Yuan Zhu as master, offer loyalty and soul, become exclusive mount… blah blah a bunch of requirements.
After roughly understanding the content of this simple contract, the simple and honest White Deer, whether out of desire for power, instinctual approach to higher intelligence, or other temptations like included food and lodging… all made it extremely willing to sign the Contract.
Unlike Nie Yin, who received higher education, deeply understands Law and Anti-Law insider details, knows various scam routines, seeks benefits for herself, and can modify anti-fraud contract contents—a cunning university student.
20 minutes ago, the White Deer was just a somewhat lucky animal. Now suddenly enlightened, it had to face a malicious sell-life contract. Worse off than half-blood orc brothers, in dazed ignorance, it only felt this Contract was too tempting, too wonderful.
Even without signing, it had already recognized the Tiger Demon as master and chosen submission. Now, the situation unchanged, yet pie from the sky with so many welfare benefits, it was almost driven mad with joy, not the slightest unwillingness in its heart.
Thus, Anti-Law reconfirmed the ‘user’s’ thoughts, no trace of coercion, instead bursting with intense signing intent, and the Anti-Law Contract was smoothly established.
Yuan Zhu happily obtained the 9th Anti-Law User, occupying Group E folder slot 1.
After the White Deer submitted and surrendered to the Tiger Demon, the pair of ‘little deer spine swords’ suppressed under the boulder with severely cracked skulls both regained freedom, flying back to daddy’s side.
Puchi twice, using sharp sword bodies to once again cut open the neck above the chest, inserting the two small spines into the body, connecting to the White Deer’s main spine, beginning to draw vitality to rewarm themselves and repair injuries.
After reclaiming this uncoordinated pair of ‘little deer heads’, the White Deer suppressed their impulse to scream. Facing the Tiger Demon that was merely prostrated on the ground yet still taller than it standing, it lowered its head to indicate submission.
“Now, do you know which powerful monsters or strange areas are nearby?”
The White Deer with elevated cognition fell into thought, flipping out sealed memories, using Artificial Stupidity Program to process the mission. When time approached 5 o’clock and the sky gradually darkened, the White Deer suddenly perked up its head and nodded lightly.
As one overlord in the nearby mountains (wild Sword Immortal), its strength had always been at the top of the food chain, with a large activity range, and it had encountered multiple polluted life forms on par with itself.
But at its intensity, even if crazy or deranged, there was some ‘wisdom’. Unless hitting the onset period, impatiently slaughtering each other to vent, otherwise after mutual deterrence, they would retreat.
Compared to challenging deadly threatening strong enemies, these polluted life forms’ nature was actually bullying the weak, crushing noobs. Releasing Sword Qi to torment gray wolves, brown bears, cheetahs to death, mashing into meat paste, then eating with tender tasty sprouts. Meat and veg paired, wouldn’t that better vent killing and destruction desires?
Therefore, the White Deer remembered many auras that posed ‘danger’ to it, and special areas it remembered deeply and didn’t want to approach. For example, the sharp peak it occupied was, in other polluted life forms’ eyes, also an extremely threatening dangerous land (Sword Dao Pollution).
The White Deer temporarily couldn’t reach the level of summarizing language for verbal communication, but it could transmit ‘thoughts’ to the Tiger Demon.
Soon, the Tiger Demon was overjoyed. This guy finally ‘understood’ its thoughts, and as a rare beast retaining rationality, it had complete and clear memories. It could answer its confusions, no need to blindly rush through the forest anymore.
As for treasure lands suitable for Tiger Demon to establish mountain base, the White Deer naturally didn’t understand feng shui and couldn’t give answers. But having signed Anti-Law Contract and obtained a share of Shadow Pollution, relying on beastly sharp instincts, it screened out a coordinate from many ‘strong enemies, dangerous lands’ in its memories.
Compared to Yuan Zhu and Snake Snake who needed to weigh many factors and issues, the White Deer was too simple. Even after ‘pull-seedling enlightenment’, its beast nature still dominated.
Therefore, the White Deer’s instinctual intuition was exceptionally strong. From the Shadow Pollution flowing from the Tiger Demon, it quickly matched and selected a dangerous land associated with this pollution, and uploaded the scenes there and travel terrain entirely to the King.
“Huh?”
This was an unknown area the Tiger Demon had never set foot in; from the White Deer’s memory, it had once only approached from afar, feeling bodily discomfort and unprecedented crisis sense. Thus it only lingered nearby for a moment, not even knowing what threats were in the dangerous land, and proactively fled, the memory still fresh.
The Tiger Demon, through ‘syncing this memory’, gained vague cognition of this dangerous land. At least, this dangerous place didn’t belong to Shadow Pollution, but why did the White Deer intuitively feel it matched itself (Tiger Demon)?
Snake Snake: “Go take a look now, or first return to the construction site to rendezvous?”
Time was already 5:15; the Tiger Demon hesitated a moment and said: “Not easy to come here, still go take a glance first. Anyway, Senior Student has waited till now, debts more don’t worry, let her wait a bit longer.”
