Chapter 43

No warning from Li Changsheng was needed. In order to save its own life, the Heaven’s Fowl had to lie on the ground and accept the fate of being enslaved.

After Ai Xi defeated the Heaven’s Fowl, the Earth Rhinoceros noticed from not far away that something was wrong. It immediately got out of the entanglement between the Gopher and the Lightning Zebra. It ran wildly without looking back.

“Ai Xi, kill it!” Unlike the Heaven’s Fowl, it was only an Inferior Grade Earth Rhinoceros which Li Changsheng could not care less about.

In addition, he and his demon pets were being hunted down furiously. Naturally, he had to take his anger out on something. The Earth Rhinoceros was undoubtedly the best scapegoat for this purpose.

Under Li Changsheng’s order, Ai Xi quickly rushed up. Compared to before its bloodline evolution, its speed had been greatly improved, far surpassing the clumsy Earth Rhinoceros.

While Ai Xi was pursuing him, Li Changsheng summoned the Gopher and three Lightning Zebras to surround the Heaven’s Fowl. If the Heaven’s Fowl moved an inch, he would deal the fatal blow.

In the previous battle, in order to hold the Earth Rhinoceros, two Lightning Zebras were severely injured. At the moment, they were lying on the ground. They had not recovered their ability to move.

This time, Galen flew up again. After seeing that Li Changsheng was safe, she could not help but smile with joy. However, after seeing Li Changsheng’s injury, she then showed a pained expression. She hurriedly treated Li Changsheng’s injury.

After a few moments, Ai Xi caught up with the Earth Rhinoceros. Its sharp claws were wrapped in white light. It used Claw Crush with a mighty force.

Hearing the movements behind, the Earth Rhinoceros suddenly felt something wrong. Its whole body immediately flashed with a brilliant bright yellow. It activated a layer of Rock Armor in advance, wrapping around itself completely.

Bang～

A dull sound resounded. Ai Xi’s sharp claws landed on the rock armor. Countless rock fragments broke apart in an instant. After a short pause, Claw Crush easily broke through the defense of the Rock Armor, landing hard on the back of the Earth Rhinoceros.

Even if the rhinoceros’ skin was thick and rough, there were still several deep scars. Gashes of crimson appeared. There was a lot of blood spewing out.

The Earth Rhinoceros did not look back. Instead, it ran even faster. Due to the shielding of the Rock Armor, half of Claw Crush’s power was mitigated. The damage inflicted was relatively limited.

Roar~

Ai Xi’s tyrannical roar sounded, it opened its big mouth. It gathered countless wind type energy. It turned into a light blue wind blade which was several feet long, shooting towards the Earth Rhinoceros.

The wind blade was extremely fast, leaving streaks of cyan in its wake. The Earth Rhinoceros which was focused on running away had no time to react. It was struck by the wind blade.

Slash~

The sound of the sharp blade cutting flesh sounded. The wind blade accurately landed on the initial wounds, worsening the previous injury. As blood spewed, a deep visible scar that revealed bone could be seen.

Squeal~

This time, the Earth Rhinoceros could not bear it anymore. It let out an intense scream. Its limbs softened. It fell heavily to the ground.

However, the Earth Rhinoceros had always been known for its thick skin. It had strong stamina. It did not lose its ability to battle. It was struggling, wanting to get up again.

It was a pity that Ai Xi did not have the thought of letting it go. Under the horrified eyes of the Earth Rhinoceros, Ai Xi wrapped its forelimbs around the Earth Rhinoceros’s head. With its mouth wide open, showing sharp sword-like fangs, it was about to pierce the Earth Rhinoceros’ neck.

The Earth Rhinoceros struggled hard, trying to shake off Ai Xi. Unfortunately, it had exhausted all his energy. It could not get rid of it.

The next moment, the sword-like fangs easily tore open the Earth Rhinoceros’ proud defense, piercing deeply into the Earth Rhinoceros’s neck. It instantly pierced its artery.

Geysers of blood sprayed out. The Earth Rhinoceros could no longer survive. Its limbs twitched frantically as it died. There was no sign of life anymore.

Seeing the terrible condition of the Earth Rhinoceros, the Heaven’s Fowl seemed to feel the same way. There were no thoughts of running away. It hurriedly laid on the ground with its eyes closed, as if it fainted.

Soon, under Galen’s healing, Li Changsheng barely regained his ability to walk. He immediately held Galen in his arms.

“Galen, you can’t do this again in the future!” Li Changsheng’s face was stern. However, he was terrified in his heart. If it was not for Ai Xi completing its transformation in time, the consequences would be disastrous.

At the same time, his heart was like a surging ocean wave, constantly rising. It turned into a huge wave in the end. He was eager to become stronger!

“I don’t want you to get hurt!”

Galen’s gaze was stubborn. Her character was frank and innocent. She did not have many complicated thoughts. Naturally, she did not have the idea of deceit.

Li Changsheng scolded Galen for a long time. Seeing that Galen could not be persuaded, Li Changsheng had to give up and turn to the Heaven’s Fowl.

“The Heaven’s Fowl seems to be dead and everyone is hungry too. Forget it, let’s roast it and eat it. I don’t know if the meat of the Heaven’s Fowl tastes good or not.” Li Changsheng kicked the Heaven’s Fowl. Seeing that it was still pretending to be dead he could not help but threaten it.

Under the menace of Li Changsheng, the Heaven’s Fowl had to open his eyes, showing a piteous look, as if it was telling him that “I am still alive, don’t roast me.”

“Heaven’s Fowl, you should be grateful for your behavior at that time. Otherwise, if anything life-threatening were to happen to Galen, you would have been a dead bird!”

Li Changsheng looked down at the Heaven’s Fowl. He then continued, “If you want to survive, please relax and make a temporary contract with me!”

From the characteristic point of view, the Heaven’s Fowl was an all-rounded-type of demon. It was equipped with healing, support, attack, and defense.

In addition, it could also act as a flying mount.

The Heaven’s Fowl obviously hesitated. Death on the one side and freedom on the other. This made it hesitate for a long pause. It took its time to come to a decision.

Of course, this was also due to Li Changsheng’s demon tamer level being too low.

Seeing the Heaven’s Fowl hesitating, Li Changsheng continued to persuade him. “Don’t worry, as long as you sign a contract with me, I will try my best to help you advance to the Higher Order and even become an Elite Level demon. This I promise you!”

Elite level demon, it was the next level of high order demon!

Li Changsheng wanted to contract the Middle Order demon pet. However, due to the difference in level, the other party must be relaxed for it to work. Otherwise, no matter how many times the temporary contract was executed, nothing would happen!

Besides, with the qualities of a Heaven’s Fowl, it was not difficult for it to become a High Order demon. It only required a little amount of resources. There was even hope in becoming an Elite Level demon.

After Li Changsheng made that promise, the Heaven’s Fowl did not hesitate anymore. It began to relax. It no longer resisted Li Changsheng.

Soon, a small temporary contract mark was imprinted on the head of the Heaven’s Fowl.

[Name of Demon] : Heaven’s Fowl (Mature Stage)

[Demon Realm] : Middle 5th Order

[Demon Race] : High-class servant

[Demon Quality] : Medial grade

[Demon Bloodline] : None

[Demon Attributes] : Light

[Demon State] : Weak

[Demon Weakness] : Darkness

The basic types of demons mostly consisted of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, ice, lightning, light, and dark. Of course, there were also demons with some special attributes. However, there were very few of them.

Among them, the five elements complemented and countered each other. Other than the five basic types, wind countered ice, ice countered lightning, and lightning countered wind. These formed a complete cycle. As for the light and dark elements, they countered each other.

After completing the contract, the Heaven’s Fowl could barely stand up. Due to it being hit by Ai Xi’s Claw Crush, it was in a weakened state. It needed some time to revitalize. It was finally put into the demon pouch by Li Changsheng.

“Ai Xi, this is your reward!” After Ai Xi returned with the demon core of the Earth Rhinoceros in its mouth, Li Changsheng handed the small golden sword to Ai Xi. With Ai Xi having the additional gold element, the increase that the small golden sword provided naturally surpasses the Wind Streamer.

Soon, Ai Xi completed the replacement.

The next moment, its body’s surface beamed with a gold-colored halo. This was the effect of the small golden sword beginning to work. After that, it fell silent in the blink of an eye.

Roar~

Feeling that her strength had been enhanced again, Ai Xi raised its head high. It then roared to the sky, shaking the entire forest. It frightened the wild demons nearby. They all fled in panic. They dared not approach this area.

“Lightning Zebras, all of you are free!”

After a short break, Li Changsheng kept his promise. He voluntarily revoked the temporary contract of the five Thundering Zebras. The marks on their heads quickly faded. They disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Neigh~

The five Lightning Zebras turned to Li Changsheng one after another, revealing a grateful expression in their eyes. In a sense, Li Changsheng also saved their lives.

The very next moment, the sound of horseshoe trampling the ground sounded. Soon, the five Lightning Zebras returned to the valley together. The place where they called home!
