Chapter 102 - Surprise

Among the many basic rank talismans that Yang Song knew, there was a type of talisman that Yang Song found quite interesting, that was the "Beast Companion Talisman".

This Beast Companion Talisman could bind the soul of a beast and let it become a companion of a cultivator.

Take note that even though it was a 'companion', it was still more or less a pet of the cultivator.

This talisman was not completely a basic rank talisman, as the cultivator's strength grew, the binding force in the soul of the beast would also continue to advance.

When Xiao Laoxu swore to be Yang Song's loyal pet, Yang Song could indeed perceive his loyalty. However, with the Beast Companion Talisman to boot, there was no need to be afraid of betrayal in the face of benefit and oppression at all.

Of course, if the beast betrayed or had malicious thoughts against its master, the binding power that bound their soul would explode and kill them.

Naturally, there were also methods to exterminate the binding power of the Beast Companion Talisman, but those methods were only available to cultivators. The people of this world had no hope of doing anything to this kind of unknown thing at all.

Not to mention, according to the Basic Talisman Manual, the Beast Companion Talisman was… an ancient type of talisman.

When Yang Song drew the fifteen talismans previously, he had also drawn three Beast Companion Talismans.

After Yang Song took out the Beast Companion Talisman, he looked at Xiao Laoxu and said, "Drop one drop of your blood on this talisman, from then on, you won't be able to betray me, you will be my companion for the rest of your life, or until I voluntarily release you."

Xiao Laoxu, as a mouse with a high IQ, knew everything that Yang Song said. He did not understand what the so-called 'talisman' was, but he knew that this thing was a very magical thing, and only its Master had it.

Just this alone made Xiao Laoxu unhesitant to the extreme, therefore, Xiao Laoxu resolutely revealed his claw and slit his small paw slightly.

A drop of scarlet blood fell down and touched the mysterious yellow Beast Companion Talisman.

The symbol on the talisman abruptly lit up in golden-red light and absorbed the blood of Xiao Laoxu.

After the blood of Xiao Laoxu disappeared, the Beast Companion Talisman flew up promptly, turned into a golden light, and shot into Xiao Laoxu's small body, disappearing.

Immediately after that, Xiao Laoxu felt that the depth of his very soul had an additional force that was lying in. That force was not malicious, on the contrary, it was gentle and warm.

At the same time, Xiao Laoxu also felt a kind of connection between him and Yang Song, which was very mysterious and awe-inspiring.

Witnessing the entire magical process, the Undead Steel Scavenger also felt that it would be his misfortune if he did not become this old devil's companion too.

Seeing Yang Song looking at him, the Undead Steel Scavenger voluntarily cut his wing a little.

Yang Song was satisfied with the Undead Steel Scavenger's smart performance, and he extended the Beast Companion Talisman over and let the blood of the scavenger fall on it.

The same mystical scene took place again.

By the time Yang Song felt the spiritual connection with the Undead Steel Scavenger in his soul, the talisman had already disappeared.

"Very good. From now on, you both will be my companions, but since Little Laoxu came under my wings first, then he is your elder brother," Yang Song looked at the scavenger.

Hearing this, Xiao Laoxu felt ecstatic and said secretly in his heart, "Another underling has come."

"Next, as my pet, it would be too vulgar if I keep calling you Undead Steel Scavenger. So let's find a name for you," Yang Song continued, "how about Xiao Laofei?"

The scavenger did not care much about his own name initially, but hearing this name, he nodded vigorously and let out his cry, "Good, good…"

Yang Song was surprised suddenly because he could understand the cry of Xiao Laofei. Technically, the sound was still "caw", but in Yang Song's ear, it turned into "good".

"The function of the Beast Companion Talisman is really amazing."

Yang Song sighed in his heart, then he said to Xiao Laofei, "Good, then next, I will also modify a technique for you to practice later on."

"Good, good!" Xiao Laofei understood what Yang Song meant. He had seen the little mouse, no, his elder brother practicing those cool moves.

"Little Laoxu, don't forget to share the jerky with your little brother too, understand?" Yang Song then looked at Xiao Laoxu who was looking at the Washing Marrow Pills in Yang Song's hand with bright eyes.

"Squeak, yes, Master, Laoxu will look after little brother!" Xiao Laoxu came back to his senses and patted his c.h.e.s.t.

"Then, here you are," after that, Yang Song handed one Washing Marrow Pill to Xiao Laoxu and Xiao Laofei each.

The two guys, one mouse, one bird, took the Washing Marrow Pill at the same time.

Actually, Yang Song decided to give the pills to them because the two guys also contributed a lot.

Xiao Laoxu had given him a lot of treasures which he got from Luo Xiang's former boss.

Xiao Laofei had provided him a lot of scales which were good materials suitable for refining tools and medicine at the same time.

After Xiao Laoxu swallowed the pill, like the previous time, his eyes became blurred and he began to squeak in p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e constantly.

His light-golden fur became even lighter, and some silver furs actually began to appear. A faint white smoke also floated out of his body at the same time.

Yang Song then opened his Eyes of Insight and looked at Xiao Laoxu.

Species: Golden-Eyed Mouse

Combat Power: 2nd Tier Solder monster (Evolving, please wait…)

Talent: hole drilling (100), treasure hunting (100), wisdom (69+), comprehension (25+), language (70+)

After seeing Xiao Laoxu's attributes, Yang Song turned to look at Xiao Laofei instead.

The scavenger's changes were even more obvious. His dark scales became gray and smoother than before.

His slightly gray beak became shiny white.

Species: Undead Steel Scavenger

Combat Power: Quasi-Tier 3 General

Talent: steel (81+), undead (95+), comprehension (14+), wisdom (38+), language (21+), transformation (unlocking)

Yes, the new talent was what surprised Yang Song the most. In other words, Xiao Laoxu did not have any new talent even after consuming two pills. But this scavenger opened up a new talent as soon as he ate one pill.

However, this was also reasonable. Xiao Laoxu was only a Tier 2 Soldier, while Xiao Laofei was a Quasi-Tier 3 General.

Perhaps when Xiao Laoxu hit the General stage, he would also open a new talent, or it was also possible when he broke through to the higher rank in the Soldier realm.

Yang Song looked forward to what kind of talent was this "transformation". But he also had two guesses in his mind. First, this talent allowed the Xiao Laofei to turn himself into another type of bird, which was similar to disguise. Second, it allowed him to change his size at will.

After watching the two guys a while more, Yang Song walked to his futon, picked up his phone and dialed Yang Haodong's phone number.

"Hello, father."

"Are you free at the moment?"

"Oh, I just finished writing my chapter."

"Good, help me notify all the members to gather at my place tonight at 9."

"Okay, father, but is it necessary to gather all of them? Because of some of them…"

"This old man knows, just notify them, if they are busy, just let them busy. As long as the important members like you, Haonan, your wife, Mei'er, and so on come, it's fine. You can just relay my words to those who are absent by then."

"Yes, father, I will do it now."

Yang Song hung up the phone and took a deep breath.

Tonight, he wanted to talk to everyone about the Washing Marrow Pill. Seeing that Xiao Laofei could open a new talent by taking it, Yang Song felt the faster he allowed his descendants to eat it, the better it was.

Because as long as his family's essential strength increased, Yang Song's strength would also become stronger. The reason was, if his family could enter a new top ranking, the system would issue him a new reward.

Yang Song was extremely sure of this. The system previously stated that its obligation was to make Yang Song stronger as much as possible, and as soon as possible. But the premise was that Yang Song could also complete the task, grow his prestige, and make a new height of achievements, especially things related to his very family.
