Chapter 37: Concluding a Blood Contract? Making a Comeback!
Editor: Atlas Studios
The blond man walked to the side of the giant snake, Barty, and slowly squatted down. He pressed his left hand on the surrounding ground.
The golden array that flickered on his arm continued to extend downwards and finally drew an extremely huge seal on the ground, enveloping the giant snake, Barty.
"This is… this is a forceful contract seal?!"
The giant snake Barty's golden eyes widened. It would come eventually, but it knew very well that compared to the weak little fellow Bell, the blond man in front of it was powerful.
However, it was definitely not a good choice. It might even drag it into the abyss!
A weak person could only use a limited amount of its power. At the same time, the environment it had to face would be very different
if it was really forcefully signed by the blond man.
This was because the blond man was very powerful himself, and the enemies he faced were definitely not ordinary people.
Even someone as powerful as it would find it difficult to end up well.
Since he was going to become someone else's beast anyway, what was the point of risking his life…
"Little brother, answer me quickly! If you wait any longer, I'll be forced to sign a contract with this guy!!!"
The giant snake Barty used its last bit of strength to transmit its thoughts as far away as possible.
He prayed that Bell would reply.
"A level 40 Platinum-rank beast was turned into this by a group of ants. Tsk, tsk, tsk…"
The blond man looked at Giant Snake Barty on the ground and said mockingly, "If you still want to live, don't resist. Sign a contract with my spear and I'll give you precious resources. How about that?"
The giant snake Barty stubbornly turned its head away, showing a very obvious rejection.
The blond man's gaze paused, and his gaze changed unpredictably. Then, he sighed and said, "I originally wanted to see the miracle of the python transforming into a dragon, but it seems like I don't have a chance."
With that, the blond man stood up and raised his left hand. The incomparably sharp light sword from before appeared in his hand again, and the tip of the sword reached the head of the giant snake, Barty!
"I hope that before you die, you will feel sorry for your ignorance." A disdainful smile appeared on the blond man's lips. In the end, he added, "Because I gave you a chance. Unfortunately, a beast like you doesn't know how to cherish it!"
There was no regret in the giant snake Barty's eyes. The reason why it ended up like this was all because of its arrogance and conceit.
If it had not been greedy and wanted to guard the Dragon Blood Ink Stone until it completely nurtured a complete dragon bloodline, its whereabouts would not have been exposed.
If not for the fact that it conceitedly believed that the Mining Association's crusade team could not do anything to it, it would not have given up on the terrain that was beneficial to it and eventually fallen into the other party's trap.
It didn't know when to advance or retreat and didn't know how to cherish the chance to be reborn when it was in front of it. Even in the face of a calamity, it still imagined that it could make a comeback…
Just as the golden light sword crashed down, a familiar voice sounded in its mind: "I agree to sign a contract with you, but it has to be a blood contract."
Bell's voice was like a life-saving straw, reigniting the hope in Barty's heart!
However, Bell's request was unacceptable.
If it signed a blood contract with Bell, it would be an accident that it would sell its species and the bloodline characteristics of its species would be made public.
Moreover, it would be bound to that little thing for the rest of its life. If anything happened to it, it would not be able to escape bad luck.
The most important thing was that the lifespan of humans was extremely short. Even if it was a powerful beast tamer, it wouldn't be a problem for them to live for thousands of years by relying on their beast taming bloodline to extend their lifespan.
However, compared to the long lifespan of mutated beasts that could easily be counted in ten thousand years,
It was still too short.
Once an exotic beast signed a blood contract, it would be an accident that it would give up tens of thousands of years of its lifespan.
The first iron rule of the blood contract: Once the beast tamer who signed the blood contract dies, the blood contract will forcefully break the soul connection between the two. The beast itself will die during this process.
This was not a rule set to protect beast tamers.
The fundamental reason was that the beast taming space provided by the blood contract was different from ordinary. This space was directly built on the spirit body of a beast tamer.
The beasts would sacrifice a portion of their soul fragments to construct this space.
This was why as long as the beast tamer didn't die, the beast could be reborn repeatedly in this space!
As long as the soul was not destroyed, the familiar would be an eternal existence!
The price was that as long as the beast tamer died, this soul space would collapse, and the part of the soul that originally belonged to the beast would be destroyed.
As a result, the beast would completely disappear from the world.
Among them was the fact that when a beast tamer's lifespan was exhausted, his beasts would have to be buried with him.
Combining the above two points, this was also the reason why there were so few beast tamers and beasts who had signed a blood contract.
"This is the only way you can survive. I don't have the ability to come out from there like you do. If you just sign an ordinary contract, you'll still be killed by him.
"Only by signing a blood contract with me will your soul remain intact when you die in reality. As long as you recuperate for enough time, you can be resurrected."
Bell explained to him. In fact, he had always heard the Giant Snake Barty's shout, but he could not guarantee that the blond man could sense it.
So he'd been waiting.
As for him signing a blood contract with the giant snake Barty, although it was a little like taking advantage of others, it was the only solution in his eyes.
Even if Bell signed a contract with it, in this situation, it could not return to Bell's beast taming space to escape.
In fact, when a beast entered the beast taming space, it was in an extremely fragile state. It was exposed in the main world with a complete spirit body. It was easy for the other party to interrupt it.
Therefore, beasts would enter the beast taming space in a safe environment.
Bell would not take the risk of being discovered by the blond man to save it again. The infinity characteristic of the blood contract had become the last straw for the giant snake Barty.
"This is your last chance. It's about to be too late."
Bell's tone was calm, but he was describing the extremely cruel reality.
The giant snake Barty looked at the sword that was about to fall. In the end, it made up its mind and gritted its teeth as it spat out a word.
"Sure!"
Just as it made up its mind, Bell heard a system notification.
[Ding! The system has checked that the host can conclude a contract. The level is 'Blood Contract'. Do you want to execute the contract option now?]
"Sign the contract!" Bell said with relief.
