Just before the shadowy figure struck, Ai Xi’s ears gave a small twitch and it reacted quickly. Ai Xi immediately turned around and swung its claws at the new foe.

“Galen, use Cotton Spore!”

On the other side, Li Changsheng’s heart was pounding and he hurriedly opened his jacket pocket. Galen’s tiny figure flew out and a burst of cyan energy materialized and landed on Ai Xi.

In an instant, a large number of white cotton spores appeared on Ai Xi’s body, wrapping it in several layers of cotton, greatly improving its physical defenses.

Immediately, the unseen foe’s claws landed on the cotton spores, but the spores served their purpose and significantly reduced its attack power.

Puff~

A dull noise came out and Ai Xi only felt a slight numbing sensation on its right paw. Then, a strong surge of energy gushed toward it and it staggered two steps back.

It was only after then that Li Changsheng could finally take a better look at the thing that came toward them. It was another Wind Wolf. However, its body was much larger than an ordinary Wind Wolf. It was three meters long and close to two meters high. It gazed down at Ai Xi.

“That… That’s a Middle Order Wind Wolf!” Li Changsheng’s pupils dilated sharply and his heart throbbed. He was horrified.

That Wind Wolf clearly surpassed the level of a lower-order demon in terms of its body and aura. It was a true-blue middle order level demon.

Although Ai Xi had a strong natural grade, it did not have enough training and was unable to compete with the Middle Order Wind Wolf.

If his guess was correct, the Middle Order Wind Wolf was most likely the leader of the Wind Wolves.

If a Wind Wolf of middle order level appeared, it probably meant that there were other Wind Wolves nearby. Once they worked together, the consequences would be disastrous.

Right then, the Middle Order Wind Wolf, together with the four other Wind Wolves that successfully escaped from the quicksand, surrounded Li Changsheng and his demon pets.

Unexpectedly, they did not attack them immediately, as if they were waiting for something.

The shivering Gopher lost its nerve and jumped into Li Changsheng’s arms.

“This is weird!” Li Changsheng frowned slightly and felt a little uneasy. Based on the Wind Wolves’ typical disposition, they should have attacked immediately as it was an advantage to them, but they did not. It made no sense to Li Changsheng.

Clap clap clap~

Suddenly, they heard someone clapping and a new figure walked out of the bushes, watching Li Changsheng with interest.

To be precise, the figure was looking at Galen who was on Li Changsheng’s shoulder.

It was a young man about twenty years old. He had an aggressive-looking face, a tough-looking body, and a strong killer aura. He wore an embroidered silver-white brocade guard robe. His face was expressionless, and his deep eyes gave the impression that he was a powerful person.

The young man was called Lin Zheng. Li Changsheng’s eyes widened with surprise as the young man walked straight to the Middle Order Wind Wolf and patted it.

Unexpectedly, the Middle Order Wind Wolf did not flinch but moved its head closer to Lin Zheng’s palm. It narrowed its eyes slightly and gave a contented look, as if it was enjoying it.

The answer was obvious. The Middle Order Wind Wolf was Lin Zheng’s demon pet!

“The Lin Family’s clothing! What’s a Lin doing here? If his demon pet is a Middle Order Wind Wolf, could it mean that the Wind Wolf trouble has something to do with the Lin family?” Li Changsheng was able to recognize Lin Zheng immediately from his clothing and a terrible thought flashed across his mind.

The Lin Clan was also one of the major families in Nero City. Together with the Li Clan and the governor, they made up the three major forces of Nero City.

Since the governor had superior status, the Li Clan and the Lin Clan pretended to be on good terms on the surface and kept their filthy secrets away from the public in order to compete for resources and benefits.

Since Nero City was only so big, resources were relatively limited. Everyone wanted more resources to strengthen their clan’s status.

A few years ago, when a miniature Soul Crystal Mine appeared in Green Mountain, the two major clans fought bitterly and caused countless casualties. In the end, the Li Clan spent a huge price to partner with the governor to defeat the Lin Clan. In the end, the Lin Clan was defeated miserably and many clan members were badly injured while the Li Clan successfully occupied the miniature Soul Crystal Mine.

Now that the Lin Clan came to Green Mountain and taking the previous incident into account, it was clear that the Lin Clan had something to do with the Wind Wolf trouble.

With his hands behind him, Lin Zheng had an arrogant look and slowly said, “Tut tut. Didn’t expect you to have a rare Nature Faerie! Ah, that explains why there was a batch of Healing Spring on the market recently. It was your doing, most likely! Hey kid, let’s make a deal. Undo your contract with your Nature Faerie and I’ll let you live. How’s that sound?”

Blood binding contracts were different from cardinal binding contracts because demon tamers could permanently undo a blood binding contract from their side, albeit at a high price.

Before Li Changsheng could speak, Galen seemed extremely nervous. Her little hands grasped onto Li Changsheng’s clothes tightly for fear that Li Changsheng would agree to Lin Zheng’s conditions.

“Did you think that I would agree to that?” Li Changsheng licked his dry lips and forced himself to calm down as he began to think about how to get out of this mess.

“Yes, I do!” While speaking, Lin Zheng pinned a badge to his chest.

`

It was a bronze badge with the night sky as the background and two stars hanging above it, exuding dim light.

“A Level 2 Demon Tamer!” With just a glance, Li Changsheng recognized the badge.

Those badges were issued by the Demon Tamer Association. The star on it symbolized the level of the demon tamer. Since there were two stars on Lin Zheng’s badge, it meant that he was a Level 2 Demon Tamer.

To become a Level 2 Demon Tamer, one must fulfill two prerequisites. In addition to using omniscience to refine 36 astral lights, one must also have two middle order demon pets!

In other words, in addition to that Middle Order Wind Wolf, Lin Zheng must have at least another middle order demon pet at his disposal.

The very next moment, Lin Zheng pursed his lips and a blood-colored brilliance flickered in front of him, finally turning into a blood-colored hexagram.

Roar~

Along with the roar that would make your heart leap into your throat, a terrifying wind swept the surrounding area. The wind coldly blew across and rustled the nearby branches and leaves.

After the summoning, a beast-type demon suddenly appeared next to Lin Zheng—a Barbarous Bear!

The Barbarous Bear stood up on its hind legs and was more than three meters tall. It weighed several tons and was covered with thick khaki fur. Its huge paws were bigger than a casserole pot, and his mouth was wide open, revealing ferocious and sharp fangs.

The Barbarous Bear was native to a lot of places. The only difference about them from Wind Wolves was that Barbarous Bears’ class was higher and were High-class Servant demon pets.

“Run!” Right after Lin Zheng summoned the Barbarous Bear, Li Changsheng seized the opportunity to run. If he got surrounded by two middle order demon pets and four Lower Order Wind Wolves, his chance of survival was bleak.

Li Changsheng was never going to give up Galen, let alone believe that Lin Zheng would abide by his promise. Immediately, he climbed onto Ai Xi’s back to escape.
