Chapter 013: Phantom Wing Scorpion
"Choose the Shared Contract."
"Ding! Selection successful. There is one pet space remaining; please choose a capture target within one year, or this capture qualification will be forfeited."
"Ding! The Shared Contract is now in effect; the player has established resource sharing with the pet Howling Moon Wolf and Phantom Wing Scorpion."
"Ding! Player Yang Chen, Howling Moon Wolf, and Phantom Wing Scorpion have all leveled up to Eight-Star Fighters due to the effects of resource sharing."
The system did not lower Yang Chen's fighting spirit level just because Gold was a One Star Fighter. Gold flapped its golden wings behind it and flew in front of Yang Chen, then grabbed the fabric on Yang Chen's shoulder with its claws, firmly standing on his shoulder.
"Howling Sky, go with Gold and see what else we can find in the cave," Yang Chen instructed. He lowered his head and let out a sound of resignation as he continued into the darkness with Gold.
This cave was not an ordinary beast's habitat; even if the Golden Armored Scorpion was lazy, it wouldn't smell so foul inside. Moreover, Yang Chen detected the scent of decaying flesh. After about a minute, Howling Sky returned, walked up to Yang Chen, and gently tugged at his pant leg, signaling him to follow. Yang Chen was surprised for a moment and said, "Did you find the cause so quickly?"
Howling Sky shook its head but had a look of joy in its eyes. After walking a hundred steps or so, Yang Chen's heart raced as he looked down at Howling Sky and said, "Not bad; you found the Golden Armored Scorpion's treasure trove."
He quickly walked a few steps to a small mound that was half his height and faintly glowing.
"It's all gold coins, about ten black stones, plus several dozen common first- and second-tier herbs. Well, better than nothing. Demon God Ring, collect!" Yang Chen shook his head in disappointment. However, thinking about it, the Golden Armored Scorpion was only a Three-Star Fighter; what kind of rare treasures could it possibly have? As this pile of loot entered Yang Chen's Demon God Ring, a faint blood light flashed briefly, unnoticed by anyone.
After collecting everything, Yang Chen looked deeper into the cave and said, "Howling Sky, Gold, let's go further in and see what else is there." As they moved forward, the cave became narrower as if reaching its end. However, just as this thought crossed Yang Chen's mind, a white glowing object with a hint of blood color caught his eye.
"Such a heavy aura of Blood Fiend, it must be a Demon Hunter or a Demon Cultivator."
"The chest is sunken; this must be the fatal wound. The complexion is pale, and the blood within has not coagulated, indicating death occurred no more than three years ago. Even after three years, there is still one or two-tenths of spiritual energy remaining in the body, suggesting a cultivation level reaching the Saint Fighter tier. With a single horn on the head and a pervasive aura of malice, could this be a beast transformed?" Yang Chen observed the corpse and said.
"A collection from a Saint Fighter should be quite rich," he continued, lowering his gaze to examine the corpse's hands, only to be surprised to find nothing on the ten fingers.
"Damn it, no storage ring? Were you killed by an enemy and then stripped of everything before being moved here by the Golden Armored Scorpion?" After pondering for a moment, Yang Chen shook his head and said, "Forget it; what is meant to be will be, and what is not meant to be should not be forced. However, a corpse of a Saint Fighter with beast bloodline would certainly attract some alchemists." With that, he moved his left index finger, and the corpse filled with Blood Fiend aura was taken away by Yang Chen.
"Alright, Xiaotian, Jinzi, let's go. After leaving this cave, we will continue exploring deeper into the wilderness. Let's see if we can find the Yan Dang Blade." With that, he turned around and walked towards the cave entrance.
After exiting the Golden Armored Scorpion's cave, Yang Chen put aside everything that had happened inside. Looking at Jinzi flying in the sky, he shouted, "Jinzi, be careful. If that Sky Vulture snatches you away later, I won't know what to do!" This statement had some deterrent effect; Jinzi immediately descended and flew at shoulder height beside Yang Chen.
Yang Chen smiled and continued forward towards the center of the wilderness. He had heard from Chi Long that in the heart of the wilderness lay a city of slaughter belonging to the Three Teachings and Nine Streams. On the edge of this wild region was also a town—Louran Ancient City. It was a gathering place for humans and could be considered a paradise for all low-level Yongbings. No cultivators were allowed to fight there; otherwise, they would be hunted down by the city's law enforcement team!
In Louran Ancient City, one could sell the beast cores they hunted and exchange them for pills and other items; it was a small paradise in the wilderness. Now, Yang Chen was heading towards his first stop—Louran Ancient City. After some time training there, he would venture deeper into the wilderness to obtain the Yan Dang Blade.
Three months later, at the entrance of an ancient city gate appeared a figure followed by a silver young wolf and surrounded by a golden exotic beast flying around.
"Finally arrived at Yongbing's little paradise—Louran Ancient City!"
Yang Chen looked at the ancient city before him that exuded an air of antiquity and smiled slightly. The ancient city stood a hundred meters high; as far as his eyes could see, there seemed to be no end in sight. On the hundred-meter-high city gate, three golden characters exuded an imposing aura—Louran City.
"Let's go. We are entering the city." Yang Chen kicked Xiaotian beside him and whispered.
At the city gate, two soldiers resembling cultivators extended their hands to block Yang Chen, saying, "Entry fee, calculated by cultivation level, one piece of second-tier Demon Core."
Yang Chen was taken aback for a moment, then threw two pieces of second-tier Demon Core from the Demon God Ring and said, "I’m new here; this one Demon Core is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you two brothers won’t mind."
One of the soldiers said, "Brother, you’re quite generous. A One Star fighter is willing to give away a second-tier third-grade Demon Core; we rarely see that. My name is Li Qi, and this is my brother Li Mu. If we have time, let’s grab a drink together. You can keep this Demon Core; it’s not easy hunting beasts alone."
After saying that, he tossed one of the Demon Cores back to Yang Chen. Before it reached Yang Chen's hand, Xiao Tian leaped up to catch the Demon Core, but unexpectedly, Jinzi was faster and snatched it away to fly into the sky, leaving Xiao Tian howling in frustration.
Yang Chen took out another second-tier Demon Core from his ring and tossed it to Xiao Tian while laughing and scolding, "You little troublemakers."
Li Mu said, "Brother, these two beasts of yours are not simple, right? If I’m not mistaken, this wolf is the mutated Wolf King from the Wolf Clan—Xiao Yuetian Wolf? But why is it so weak? Could it be a cub of the Wolf King? And what about that thing flying in the sky? Forgive me for being unable to tell what breed it is."
Yang Chen smiled and replied, "My name is Yang Chen. Brother Li Mu truly has a wealth of knowledge. However, my Xiao Yuetian Wolf is different from other Xiao Yuetian Wolves; its combat power is comparable to that of a wild dog. As for what’s flying in the sky, it’s just a mixed breed; no need to worry about it. Hehe." Yang Chen knew that if anyone discovered Jinzi had dragon bloodline, it would surely be captured by alchemists for blood extraction and pill refining. Therefore, he deliberately played it off.
"Brother Yang Chen is joking. The Xiao Yuetian Wolf is born as a Wolf Clan Wolf King and possesses the ability to lead wolf packs. Moreover, wolves are proud creatures that are difficult to tame throughout their lives," Li Qi said with admiration this time.
