Zeros body fell lifelessly to the ground, he was now bleeding all over and he could no longer feel his body. Zero could hear the fight going on in the distance and it was a fiercest one.
The current him only hoped that they all killed each other only leaving him alive. If anyone of them survived it would mean that his life would end so Zero paid close attention to the sound that they were making and from the start of the fight.
Zero could tell the sabertooth had the advantage and there was a lot of screams of dying man and Zero guess that the sabertooth had already taken out more than half of them.
Fight last for 30 minutes and the sabertooth was winning it killed them one at a time and by the end one of the cultivator shouter for retreat but it did not happen like he wanted but Zero was hit by something wet.
Zero forced himself to get on his back to have a better view of the situation right next to him was body and it was ripped in half and the was blood everywhere and sum was even on Zero. The white sabertooth was nowhere to be seen but Zero could still hear people screaming.
The sabertooth was currently chasing the last of the cultivator and it did not take long for it to kill them and come back. From its footstep Zero was able to tell that the sabertooth was also hurt it the fight and it was hurt badly.
Zero looked at the direction that it was coming from and was able to see it clearly for the first time. The beast was a little over one meter tall and white as freshly fallen snow.
Zero did not know exactly what it was but he now understood why the ten cultivators did not run. This is a rare spirit beast and a high level spirit beast.
The rare high level were power and one of the most power full spirit beast in the Thunder god lower realm the last time one appear destroyed one Kingdom after another and by the time the Capital got involve and cornered it was already too late the and it escaped by ascending to a high realm.
One of those cultivators must have a slave beast contract on them and wanted to tame the sabertooth.
Zero looked at the sabertooth that was coming closer to him and Zero could see that it would die soon. One of the ten cultivators must have used poison. Zero notice that its blood was not the normal red you would expect from blood but it had a dirty look to it.
Zero studied Pill refinement and refining pill was close to refining poison. Some said that to master one of them was to master both.
The Poison that way killing there was called Night blood and the poison turned your blood black killing you slowly.
Lucky Zero had a Silver cobra in his position its brain was the main ingredient for the cure." I have a way to save you from the poison" high level spirit beasts are smarter than normal beast and the one in front of Zero was as high as its gets.
Zero was sure that the beast could understand him and that was why he tried to talk to it and it worked. The white tiger stopped 3 meters away from Zero and looked at him without moving at an inch. Zero continued "you have been infected with a poison called Night blood and it is turning your blood black and it will kill you slowly if you don't get the poison. I can make you the antidote for you but in return I want you to form a contract with me".
The white tiger continued to just look at Zero it looked as if it was deciding if it could trust him or not.
Zero knew that he had no time to waste so he reach out to his space stone and took out the ingredient for making the antidote and started making it. The process was not easy Zero was too badly hurt and was quickly losing blood and every movement he made sent pain to every fibre of his being but Zero was determined to live.
The sabertooth did not move or do anything it kept looking a Zero, looking at every movement he made with keen eyes. Normally making a simple version of the antidote would not take Zero long but this time it took him over an hour to make something that should have taken him 5 minutes.
After finishing the simple antidote Zero looked at the white tiger and said "I am too badly injured right now and this is the best I could do it won't stop the poison but it would slow it down allowing you to heal your other injuries".
The sabertooth came close the bowl with the antidote and smelled it a couple of time and continued to look at Zero. Zero closed his eyes as he saw that his plan hard failed and he closed his eyes thinking of away to do what he needed to do now.
With his injuries Zero had a new plan to survive this and it would work best if the white tiger did not disturb him.
After awhile Zero felt a strange feeling and he opened his eyes to see that the white tiger had taken the antidote and was currently setting up the contract between them.
There two types of contract between humans and spirit beast a slave contract and the mutual contract.
The slave contract forced the spirit beast into submission and enslaving it to its master and if the master were to die the slave would die to.
A slave contract gave the spirit beast no choice at all and once it is formed they can never go against their master going against their master meant death.
A mutual contract could only be done by the spirit beast out of freewill and both the human and the spirit beast are equal in the contract.
The contract felt like Zero was now plug in or connected to something else.
