The startled snake trembled violently, then slowly opened its eyes.
As if waking from a dream!
Its expression was panicked, and it gesticulated wildly at Lu Fei, as if it had just experienced a nightmare.
"Mmm ~ Mmm ~"
Unfortunately, Brother Chicken was not around, and Lu Fei couldn't understand. He could only pat its head to offer comfort.
"Good boy, you're wearing sunglasses, can't lose your cool..."
At the same time, Lu Fei's gaze constantly scanned their surroundings.
Suddenly.
Thousands of contracted beasts all bowed in unison towards the silver-haired, black-clothed man, like devout followers.
Under the moonlight, the scene appeared exceptionally eerie, sending an involuntary chill down Lu Fei's spine.
Lu Fei recognized some of the contracted beasts present, including the vine demons. Of course, these vine demons were likely wild ones.
There were also red-furred, tiger-like contracted beasts – the Fire Fury Tigers!
Lu Fei had seen this contracted beast on the mission board. It was in its complete form, reaching over level seventy! Its combat power exceeded 1000!
But at this moment, it too was like a puppet, completely at the mercy of others.
Lu Fei and the startled snake stood frozen in place, feeling like outcasts, utterly out of place.
Lu Fei stared at the back of the black-clothed man, and an inexplicable coldness swept through his entire body, making him shiver uncontrollably.
A terrifying sense of pressure!
Before she notices me, I should make a quick getaway... Lu Fei scooped up the startled snake and tiptoed into the shadows.
Just then, a voice rang out.
"Friend, since you're here, why rush to leave."
The voice was deep, resonant, and possessed a magnetic quality, like a gravitational pull.
Huh? It's a guy? I thought it was a
Helplessly, he could only clear the weeds from his head and dust off his clothes.
The silver-haired, black-clothed man then nodded with satisfaction.
After a moment, he said leisurely, "I didn't expect this trip to bring such an unexpected surprise."
"Friend, where did you get this primal star domain contracted beast?"
"Buzz~~" Lu Fei felt a buzzing in his head, as if struck by lightning!
He instinctively shielded the startled snake with his body, his expression of luck vanishing.
At the same time, a name of an organization he had blocked popped into his mind.
"Are you a Hunter?"
Lu Fei asked in a deep voice.
The silver-haired, black-clothed man nodded silently.
"Yes."
Then, he chuckled, "But you are lucky to have met me, because I never kill people."
"Then I can go?"
The silver-haired, black-clothed man offered a smile.
"You need to wait a bit longer. Before that, you need to tell me where you encountered this contracted beast."
Lu Fei blurted out, "Cang Town Jade Dragon Hunting Ground. These kinds of contracted beasts are everywhere there."
The silver-haired, black-clothed man paused slightly.
"Then I can go?" Lu Fei asked again.
The silver-haired, black-clothed man shook his head and told a joke that wasn't funny.
"I am very interested in your contracted beast. I hope you will give it to me."
Lu Fei stared blankly, why don't you just rob me??? This makes me feel so impolite!
He tentatively asked, "Can I choose not to give it?"
The silver-haired, black-clothed man shook his head. His rich, magnetic voice said with great seriousness, "Then I will destroy your spiritual core and take it away."
You're talking about your xxx... Myriad sensitive words flooded Lu Fei's mind.
Destroying the spiritual core would mean he would never be able to gather spiritual power again, and without spiritual power, he would never be a beast tamer in his life.
Begging wouldn't work, and he couldn't win in a fight. Lu Fei could only think of one solution.
He raised an arm, pointed his finger with the ring at the other person, and angrily rebuked, "This is a crime!"
Hmm! He tried to restrain the other party with the law. After all, the other party was a robber with principles, what if he fell for it...
"Heh heh..."
This was the first time Lu Fei had heard the silver-haired, black-clothed man laugh.
He sounded as if he had heard a grand joke, and in the most casual tone, uttered the most arrogant words, "My purpose for existence is to change the order of this world. What you call a crime is merely the reshaping of rules in my eyes."
Damn... There's no way to refute that. He's so cultured, and so reasonable... Lu Fei gritted his teeth.
The outstretched finger froze mid-air, refusing to drop.
Suddenly.
The silver-haired, black-clothed man's expression changed.
"Where did you get that ring on your hand!"
His tone was still deep and resonant, but a hint of coldness had crept in.
Lu Fei blinked, his gaze drawn to the ring.
This was the spatial ring given to him by Chu Huainan. Chu Huainan had said it wasn't anything rare, and Lu Fei hadn't thought much of it, just that it was convenient and he didn't need a backpack when going out anymore...
"You mean the ring in my hand?" Lu Fei asked, confused.
"Not in your hand, on your hand," the silver-haired, black-clothed man corrected.
Lu Fei felt a dark line flash before his eyes...
He said somewhat irritably, "So you want to say you're interested in my ring too, and you're asking if you can have it?"
The silver-haired, black-clothed man shook his head.
"I'm not interested in your ring."
"But I am very interested in the person who gave it to you."
As the words fell, Lu Fei's eyes darkened.
"Could it be that he knows my cheap sworn brother?"
Before Lu Fei could answer, the silver-haired, black-clothed man asked in a deep voice,
"What is your relationship with Chu Huainan?"
