Little beast raised its head and sniffed carefully a few more times, as though it was confirming.
A moment later, little beast began to crawl towards Su Zimo.
Su Zimo was seated cross-legged on the ground and was not considered tall.
However, little beast was too short and tried to climb up Su Zimo's robes a few times but to no avail. Instead, it fell a few times and caused a series of laughter.
The many grand elders began to leave.
There was no point in staying here any longer. Although this' black bear 'was cute, it was merely a wild beast and was no different from the wild rabbits and dogs by the roadside.
Su Zimo was not bothered at all.
No matter what, he was going to raise this little beast and turn it into a powerful existence!
So what if it was a wild beast?
He did not have a spirit root to begin with and yet, didn't he step onto the path of cultivation and become a cultivator as well?
The birth of a life was not something one could choose.
However, the path one took in the future and the kind of achievements one could obtain would require hard work and opportunities.
After falling a few times, little beast was covered in dust and dirt. It closed its eyes and rubbed gently against Su Zimo's feet, looking aggrieved.
Su Zimo hardened his heart and did not say anything to help it, wanting little beast to climb up on its own.
"Heeya! Heeya … ya! "
Little beast raised its head and opened its toothless mouth, using all its strength to cry out in a pitiful manner.
Su Zimo's heart softened and he could not hold on any longer. He hurriedly reached out and lifted little beast up.
Perhaps it was because it was just born, little beast was not big. It was about half a foot long and fit perfectly on his palm.
Su Zimo smiled gently and lifted little beast with his left hand. Reaching out with his right hand, he teased it up and down with interest.
"Zimo, this black bear's potential is too poor. Don't sign a blood oath with it," The disheveled old man was worried and came over to remind him.
Although the power of a blood oath was strong, its power would weaken the more blood oaths were signed and there was no guarantee that demon beasts would not kill their masters in the future.
Therefore, generally speaking, most cultivators would only sign a blood oath with one demon beast, or at most two.
To the disheveled old man and the others, Su Zimo's life would be in danger at any moment if he continued to sign a blood oath with the demon beast!
Patriarch Ling Yun also nodded towards Su Zimo, and said, "This little beast's intelligence has yet to develop, just raise it casually."
With that, Ling Yun turned and left.
When the five Peak Masters saw Su Zimo hanging his head and not saying a word, they thought that he was depressed and had suffered a great blow. They couldn't help but sigh and leave the place.
At this moment, Su Zimo lowered his head and looked at the little beast on his lap. His gaze was strange and he seemed to be deep in thought.
At first, Su Zimo also thought that the little beast was just an ordinary wild beast. Perhaps it was really a bear cub that had not yet developed its spiritual wisdom and was just a little cute.
But just now, the little beast's action changed Su Zimo's mind.
This little beast was most likely not as simple as everyone said!
Earlier on, Su Zimo's right hand was playing with the little beast.
Suddenly, the little beast's expression changed, as though it sensed something. It stuck its nose out and sniffed carefully on Su Zimo's right hand.
Finally, the little beast opened its mouth and sucked on Su Zimo's right fingertip. It licked it and changed into a comfortable position before falling asleep.
That action didn't seem like much.
However, there were ripples in Su Zimo's heart.
His right hand was his strongest trump card and had helped him avert danger twice.
In the entire cave abode, no one knew the secret of his right hand.
Even senior crane did not know about it.
However, this little beast had just been born and could not even open its eyes. Yet, it sensed something and tried its best to lean over, biting on his right finger!
That was definitely not a coincidence.
Senior crane was still in the cave abode and had not left.
Raising his head, Su Zimo could not help but ask, "Senior, do you recognize this little beast?"
Senior crane walked over slowly and stood in front of Su Zimo. She looked at the little beast carefully before shaking her head. "I don't. I don't remember seeing a demon beast as such."
"Could it have been left out in the ancient books?" Su Zimo asked again.
"That's possible."
Senior crane said in a deep voice, "After all, it's been too long since the primordial era. Coupled with the fact that there are many demon beasts and many of them are already extinct, there might be some that were left out."
Pausing for a moment, senior crane continued, "However, there are indeed no universal phenomenons, lights or demonic qi when this beast was born. Hmm … perhaps, this is just an ordinary bear cub. "
As she said that, senior crane bent down and reached out, wanting to touch the little beast gently.
All of a sudden!
The little beast that was initially asleep suddenly woke up!
Although its eyes were still closed, it was clear that it was a little nervous.
As though it had sensed an unfamiliar aura approaching, the little beast stuck its head out and sniffed. The claws that were initially hidden in the gaps of its palms extended slowly, shimmering with a dark and cold glint.
What sharp senses!
Su Zimo's eyes lit up.
One had to know that this little beast had only been born for less than an hour. It couldn't even open its eyes.
However, it could still sense the unfamiliar aura in its deep slumber and wake up.
Such a reaction was even more proof of the little beast's extraordinariness.
Su Zimo was a little happy.
"Fu …"
Senior crane froze for a moment before chuckling. "This little fellow is rather smart."
With that said, senior crane reached out and tapped the little beast's forehead dotingly.
Hurriedly, the little beast dodged. However, its movements were way too slow and it could not even maintain its balance.
As though it realized that it could not dodge, the little beast reached out hurriedly and scratched senior crane's palm in a fluster.
When he saw that, Su Zimo smiled.
This little beast was rather interesting and even knew how to retaliate …
Su Zimo was about to speak when he realized that senior crane had a strange expression and was motionless on the spot.
"Senior, what's wrong?"
Frowning, Su Zimo asked instinctively.
"Wrong."
A moment later, senior crane finally snapped back to her senses. As though she was shaken out of her senses, she repeated repeatedly, "Wrong, we were all wrong!"
"What do you mean?" Su Zimo was confused.
Senior crane looked at the little beast that was hiding in Su Zimo's embrace with a strange glint in her eyes. In fact, there was even a hint of wariness as she asked uncertainly, "That little fellow scratched me earlier on?"
"That's right," Su Zimo nodded, not understanding what senior crane meant.
Senior crane took a deep breath and said slowly, "It scratched me."
Su Zimo froze on the spot and felt a chill run down his spine!
There was no way senior crane's cultivation realm was weaker than Genying Zhenjun's.
Furthermore, senior crane was a demon and its physique was incomparably strong to begin with!
Even if little beast was a pure-blooded ferocious beast, its claws would not pose any threat and would merely scratch senior crane's body like an itch.
However, senior crane actually felt pain!
The scariest thing was that little beast was only born for less than an hour!
Just Now, if it had landed on Su Zimo's body, it would have created a few bloody holes!
