Xie Sen paused, and MeiIn suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were slightly red, as if he had a fever.
He stared at Xie Sen, and his gaze unconsciously fell on his lips.
Xie Sen saw that he was awake and sighed in relief. He silently pointed at MeiIn's chest and made a gesture to pull down his collar.
MeiIn's eyes showed a hint of surprise, but he didn't make a move.
Xie Sen was very anxious. He was worried that if he waited for a while, the beast mark would disappear.
He directly reached out and grabbed the edge of MeiIn's collar. MeiIn's eyes showed even more surprise, but he didn't stop him.
Xie Sen pulled down MeiIn's collar. When he saw the beast mark, he moved his head closer.
He hadn't seen wrong. MeiIn's beast mark had changed. A pair of golden wings had appeared on both sides of the roaring lion.
He raised his head and was about to tell MeiIn about this discovery, but he met MeiIn's complicated and deep eyes.
He was stunned. He didn't understand why his heartbeat suddenly sped up. He found that the two of them were really close to each other. He moved back slightly and pointed at MeiIn's chest, indicating that MeiIn should look.
MeiIn retracted his gaze from Xie Sen's body. When he saw the change in the beast mark, he suddenly sat up straight, his back away from the tree.
He looked down for a while, then reached out and grabbed Xie Sen's wrist. Xie Sen used his strength to loosen his collar and let his clothes cover his beast mark.
When MeiIn raised his head, his face was full of uncontrollable excitement. Even his fingers were slightly trembling because of his excitement.
Xie Sen didn't understand why, but he knew what it meant. MeiIn's contract beast was no longer a lion, but a flying lion. It had changed from an A class to an S class.
It was no wonder that MeiIn was so excited.
Xie Sen smiled. MeiIn's contract beast was finally the same as in the book. He didn't have to wonder about it anymore.
His smile was quickly replaced by worry. If what he knew was the same as in the book, then what about MeiIn? Would he also turn black like in the book?
Seeing him like this, MeiIn thought that Xie Sen was worried about him. He patted Xie Sen on the shoulder and shook his head with a smile, indicating that he was fine.
Xie Sen forced a smile. Looking at MeiIn's pale face due to the poison, he couldn't bring himself to kill her in the cradle.
In that case, he could only keep an eye on MeiIn and stop him from turning evil!
MeiIn patted Xie Sen's shoulder again and pointed to the tree trunk behind him, indicating that he should rest. Xie Sen nodded, leaned against the tree trunk, and closed his eyes.
At five o 'clock in the morning, it was as if a stage had been set up in the forest. All kinds of birds and insects were chirping incessantly. Xie Sen opened his eyes and immediately tilted his head to look at the MeiIn.
He didn't know when MeiIn had woken up and was looking at him. When their eyes met, Xie Sen's heartbeat instantly lost its rhythm.
How long has he been looking at me!
Xie Sen immediately looked away, but soon he couldn't help but look back at MeiIn's face. MeiIn's face had regained its color, and he looked good, "How do you feel?"
"I'm fine," MeiIn said. His voice was a little dry, probably due to the aftereffects of the high fever.
Bai Jiao said, "The wound was treated very well yesterday. It's not a big problem, but it's better to go to the hospital to completely clean up the poison after we go out."
Xie Sen's face was slightly red. He didn't even realize that Bai Jiao had woken up.
Long Teng jumped up from the ground, stretched his hands and feet, and turned his neck, "Ah, I didn't eat supper last night. I'm so hungry. What are we having for breakfast?"
"Barbecue," MeiIn said, and took out the raw meat that he had saved yesterday from his space backpack.
Long Teng ran over to help MeiIn skewer the meat. Xie Sen tilted his head and asked MeiIn, "Do you have a clean knife?"
MeiIn shook his head. His knife was used many times yesterday, so it wasn't clean.
Bai Jiao said, "I do." He took out a clean palm-sized knife and handed it to Xie Sen.
Xie Sen took it and walked to Long Teng's previous position. He moved the potato wall next to the fire and cut it into ten pieces. Each piece was about the size of two sheets of A4 paper.
He kept four pieces and asked MeiIn to put the rest in his backpack.
Long Teng asked curiously, "Why did you cut it? Don't you need to keep it for repair?"
Xie Sen looked at his pure eyes and suddenly felt guilty. It was as if he was lying to a child.
He coughed softly, "I'm sorry, I lied to you. This is actually not a tent. I can't explain what it is. I cut it into pieces and prepared to barbecue it."
"Can it be eaten?" Long Teng's attention was completely taken away by the words "barbecue it".
Xie Sen felt helpless and found it funny. He nodded, "It may not be very delicious." He had never tried to make potatoes so big before.
However, he still underestimated the high quality of the food redeemed by the system. When the potatoes were cooked, the space surrounded by potatoes was filled with the aroma of potatoes. It smelled very tempting.
Long Teng stared at the potatoes in Xie Sen's hands while barbecuing the meat. When Xie Sen said that the potatoes were cooked, he hurriedly said, "I want to eat!"
Xie Sen divided the roasted potatoes into four small pieces and put them in the food box where the spicy jerky was before. He gave each of them a piece.
He took a bite and a faint fragrance instantly filled his mouth. The taste was very light. If he didn't know that this was a potato, he probably wouldn't have guessed it.
However, the texture was soft and fragrant. Although the taste was light, it was still very delicious.
"It's delicious!" Long Teng's eyes lit up.
MeiIn and Bai Jiao obviously liked it too. They quickly finished the potatoes.
Xie Sen and Bai Jiao continued to barbecue the rest of the potatoes. When the potatoes were finished, the meat was also cooked. The four of them were very satisfied with the breakfast.
MeiIn opened his personal wristband and integrated the map information received by the information detector. He sent a copy to each of his teammates and marked out the next route. Then, he said, "Let's go."
Xie Sen put the potatoes back into the space. Long Teng looked at him expectantly with bright eyes, "Can we eat another wall for lunch?"
"No!"
Xie Sen shook his head. If the wall hadn't been accidentally broken, he wouldn't have eaten it. He had to use less energy to activate the third plant as soon as possible. It was very inconvenient to lose control of his body.
Long Teng's smiling face collapsed. Xie Sen smiled, "MeiIn still has leftovers in his backpack. We can eat it for lunch."
Long Teng immediately smiled brightly, "That's great!"
As if on steroids, he rushed forward. MeiIn grabbed his shoulder and turned him around, "Opposite."
Long Teng laughed and touched the back of his head. MeiIn said, "You stay behind." Long Teng nodded.
Without Ruello's tricks and with MeiIn's detection device, the rest of the four of them went very smoothly. Along the way, the wild beasts that they encountered were either quickly killed by Long Teng or escaped by themselves.
When they were about to reach the finish line, they walked into a foggy area. It was impossible to tell the direction inside, but with MeiIn leading the way, they walked very easily.
Xie Sen thought of the guide he had read on the forum and couldn't help but laugh. Whether it was difficult or not depended on the person.
He took advantage of lunch to rest for half an hour. At a quarter past two in the afternoon, the four of them reached the finish line and checked their individual bracelets on the timer.
Qi Shao looked at the timer and then looked up at them. His gaze swept over them, "You guys didn't suffer any injuries and even set a new time record. I'm starting to wonder if this island is suitable for the competition.
Long Teng smiled innocently, "It was quite easy."
Xie Sen rolled his eyes at him, "Can you walk out on your own?"
Long Teng thought about how they couldn't tell the directions inside and immediately shook his head, "It's still very difficult."
Qi Shao nodded towards the door, "You guys can leave the island first. The competition results will be announced online at five tonight, and the prizes will be given out at the same time."
Xie Sen thanked him politely. The four of them boarded a small shuttle and left Jade Pearl Island.
Xie Sen asked Bai Jiao and Long Teng if they had any urgent matters to attend to. Both of them said no, so he said to the pilot, "Go straight to the hospital."
MeiIn looked at him, "I'm fine. I want to go back and take a shower first."
"No," Xie Sen said seriously, "You have to go to the hospital first. You've been running a fever."
He was a little worried. MeiIn had even changed her contract beast. Who knew if there were any hidden side effects of the drug?
Bai Jiao also said, "It's better to go to the hospital. Your body temperature is abnormal."
MeiIn compromised and went to the hospital. Bai Jiao and Long Teng didn't leave the hospital. They waited for MeiIn to clear the toxins in her body before leaving.
Before leaving, Bai Jiao pointed at his personal bracelet, "Remember to keep in touch. I still have many questions to ask you."
Xie Sen nodded. Bai Jiao had collected a lot of plants and animals along the way. In Bai Jiao's words, those were all raw materials for making medicine. He knew that Bai Jiao was very interested in his chili tree and potatoes.
Xie Sen and MeiIn returned to the apartment directly from the hospital. The two of them went to their respective rooms to take a shower.
Xie Sen changed into loose pajamas and came out of the bathroom with a towel. He felt relaxed. He had been on the island for two days and one night and had sweated a lot. He had long wanted to take a shower.
After drying his hair, he threw himself on the bed to catch up on sleep. He didn't wake up until the sound of his communication device rang. He half-squinted and looked at the time. It was not even 4: 30. He didn't even sleep for an hour.
He turned over and answered the call, "Manager Sun, there's …"
He said, "What's the matter?" Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Sun Mao's anxious voice, "Xiao Sen, I've asked Qi Shao. He said that you're back. Hurry up and come to the company."
Xie Sen was completely awakened by his tone. He climbed out of bed and took his clothes from the wardrobe as he asked, "What happened?"
"The young master of the Kes family ran to the center and forced himself to form a contract with the giant lion. He was bitten and was taken away by the Kes family for emergency treatment. The giant lion is injured and has gone crazy. It has already hurt a few feeders. Hurry up and see if you can calm it down. If you can't, we can only …"
He paused, "We can only apply to the Contract Beast Research Institute and use extreme measures."
He didn't say it explicitly, but Xie Sen knew that extreme measures would be cruel.
Xie Sen thought of the giant lion that was as docile as a big cat in front of him and hated Ruilo even more, "I'll be right there."
He had never seen anyone more annoying than Ruilo.
He could completely guess what Ruilo was thinking. He knew that he would definitely lose to MeiIn, so he might as well form a contract with the giant lion in advance. That way, even if MeiIn was angry, there was nothing he could do.
Every contract beast only recognized one master. As long as he formed a contract with the giant lion, MeiIn would have no chance at all. It was a good plan.
He quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom. MeiIn heard him and opened the door. Seeing that he was dressed neatly, he asked with a sour expression, "What happened?"
Xie Sen quickly told him what had happened. "I'll go first."
"Wait, I'll go with you." MeiIn went back to his bedroom halfway through and came out a minute later.
The two of them arrived at the Gold Medal Maintenance Center and went directly to the fourth district. At the entrance of the fourth district stood four nervous security guards with firearms in their hands.
They were standing in a different way than usual. All four of them were facing the door with weapons in their hands. They looked alert, as if they were ready to attack at any time.
The door in front of them protruded outwards. The protrusion was gradually deepening. Every time it deepened, the ground trembled slightly.
Xie Sen's expression changed slightly. He had already experienced the soundproofing of the buildings in the fourth district. Although there was no sound, it was not difficult to guess that the giant lion was banging on the door.
"Here." Sun Mao's voice came from the left corner. He waved at Xie Sen.
Xie Sen went over and found a few small shuttles parked behind the corner. Other than Sun Mao, there were six other people. Other than a short, gentle man, the rest were very tall.
Sun Mao quickly explained the situation. "The giant lion has been banging on the door trying to leave. At first, when we tried to calm it down, it attacked indiscriminately."
Sun Mao looked up. "Now we can only open the dome and take a shuttle in. This is a special situation. It's very dangerous. I'll go in with you."
Xie Sen pursed his lips. "What if it doesn't work?"
Sun Mao sighed. "If this continues, the fourth district won't last long. If it goes out in its current state, it will cause a huge disaster. In order to avoid disaster, we can only kill it."
Xie Sen clenched his fists. "I'll try."
"I'll go with you." MeiIn originally wanted to persuade him, but seeing his determined expression, she didn't. Instead, she proposed to go with him.
Xie Sen shook his head. "I'll go alone. I'm safer than you guys." He knew that his natural aura was very popular with animals.
MeiIn frowned. "Let's go together. Otherwise, you're not allowed to go. If I'm in danger, I have the ability to escape."
Xie Sen was helpless. Sun Mao rolled his eyes at the two. "What time is it? Can you stop showing off your love? Let's go together. Isn't he very powerful? Maybe he can help. "
Xie Sen stared at him. "What nonsense are you talking about? What Xiuen … "
"Okay," Sun Mao patted him on the shoulder. "I know you're thin-skinned. Let's not talk about it. Let's get on the shuttle first."
Xie Sen's words were choked in his throat. He secretly swallowed them. Once again, he had the urge to beat up his boss. He gritted his teeth and followed Sun Mao to the shuttle.
Sun Mao turned around and held his shoulder to stop him. "Let your boyfriend go first. You go last. You sit by the door so it's easier to appease the giant lion."
It was a male friend, but why did it sound different when Sun Mao said it?
Xie Sen resisted the urge to explain. It was really difficult to explain. If MeiIn heard it, she would think that he didn't treat her as a friend. He knew too well how sensitive MeiIn was to the topic of friends.
MeiIn got on the shuttle and sat in the middle. After she sat down, Xie Sen got on the shuttle and sat by the door. The staff outside the shuttle closed the door.
The pilot started the shuttle and raised it to the top. At the same time, the transparent dome opened from the left and right. If one looked down from above, it would look like a pearl clam slowly opening its shell.
The shuttle drove into the interior of District Four. The angry and ferocious roars of the beasts instantly filled their ears. The dome quickly closed again, isolating the sound from the inside and outside.
The shuttle slowly descended. Xie Sen looked through the window and saw the giant lion repeatedly hitting the gate of District Four. There was a lot of blood on the gate. His heart instantly clenched.
The giant lion!
He couldn't help but say angrily, "What did Rui Luo do? How did he force the contract? "
When they first met, even if the giant lion was injured, it didn't go crazy at all when it confronted Sun Mao and the others' contracted beasts. It definitely didn't hurt anyone. Rui Luo must have done something terrible for it to become like this!
Sun Mao's face stiffened. He wiped his face: "It's my negligence. He bribed a feeder to put a drug in the beast's food. This drug will make the contracted beast weak. When the beast master can't make the contracted beast submit, he can use this drug and take the opportunity to force the contracted beast to submit."
"But he underestimated the strength of the Class A contracted beast. The drug he gave the feeder wasn't strong enough. Also, the giant lion is very cautious. Other than the food you fed it before, it ate very little every meal. It recovered halfway through the contract and Rui Luo counterattacked."
"It was also injured. It went crazy and doesn't trust people anymore."
"How did he get into District Four?" Xie Sen looked at the giant lion that kept roaring and hitting the gate with heartache.
Sun Mao said helplessly, "He said he wanted to know more about the giant lion's habits so that it would be easier for him to find his contracted beast in the future. He had a good reason. With his status, we couldn't refuse."
Xie Sen gritted his teeth. "Are we just going to let this go?"
"No." Sun Mao's eyes were firm. "Gold Medal won't let this go."
At this time, the shuttle had landed not far from the tail of the giant lion. Sun Mao changed the topic and carefully instructed.
"The door on your side will open soon. Hold the handle with your left hand." He pointed at the handle above the shuttle. "The shuttle will fly to its tail in a moment. The shuttle will drive away quickly. Reach out and touch it. We'll observe its reaction."
Xie Sen nodded and reached out to hold the handle. When the door opened, he subconsciously tightened his grip.
Suddenly, he felt a warm touch on his waist. He turned around in surprise. MeiIn's arms were around his waist. "Don't be afraid. I'll catch you. You won't fall out."
Xie Sen looked at the handsome face in front of him and swallowed. His heart suddenly beat faster. He turned his head abruptly and looked out the door. "Okay."
Sun Mao silently touched his stomach. He was so full. He didn't want to eat dinner!
The pilot asked, "Are you ready?"
Xie Sen took a deep breath and squatted outside. "Yes."
The shuttle descended slightly and then quickly flew forward. Xie Sen reached out and touched the giant lion. Less than a second later, the shuttle suddenly rose. His body fell back and hit a strong chest.
The door closed at the same time. Xie Sen paused and looked out the window.
"It worked!" Sun Mao's voice was excited.
The original fierce roar disappeared. The giant lion stopped hitting the door and turned its head to look at its tail. It didn't see anyone, so it raised its big head again.
Then, it opened its mouth and roared softly and ran toward the shuttle.
The pilot was so scared that his hands shook. He hurriedly raised the shuttle.
Sun Mao looked at Xie Sen. "It should be looking for you."
Xie Sen saw the changes in the giant lion because of his brief touch. His heart was indescribably moved. He nodded. "Yes."
He looked at the giant lion's bloody head and was very distressed. "Go down and prepare the medicine. I'll clean its wounds."
The pilot's voice suddenly rose. "Are you sure it doesn't want to attack us?"
Sun Mao glanced at him. "Are you doubting my professionalism? I know the meaning of the various reactions of contract beasts better than you. Land! "
The pilot sighed. "I should've asked for leave today!"
Sun Mao rolled his eyes. "I'm here. What are you afraid of? My salary is much higher than yours. Do you think my life is a joke? "
When the pilot heard this, he calmed down and landed the shuttle furthest away from the giant lion. As soon as it landed, he immediately opened the door and shrank into the pilot's seat.
Xie Sen lifted his foot and was about to go out when he realized that MeiIn's hand was still on his waist. He turned his head. MeiIn let go of his hand and reminded him, "Still be careful."
Xie Sen nodded. If he hadn't been in contact with the giant lion, he would've been very scared in this situation. But now, he wasn't scared at all.
This was the giant lion that would obediently lie in front of him and let him play with its claws. It was also the giant lion that was no longer crazy.
After Xie Sen got off the shuttle, MeiIn and Sun Mao followed closely behind him.
The giant lion ran in front of them and stared at Sun Mao with its head tilted, a warning sound coming from its throat.
Sun Mao took a few steps back. "It seems that it doesn't welcome me."
The giant lion looked down at Xie Sen. Xie Sen jumped up and touched its chin. It made a soft sound in its throat, as if it had been wronged.
Xie Sen made sure that it treated him as usual. He walked to its front legs, patted it, and gently pulled the mane hanging down from its neck. The giant lion turned its head to look at it and lay down.
Xie Sen rubbed its neck again and turned to Sun Mao. "Prepare the medicine and water."
Sun Mao breathed a sigh of relief. "Arrange it immediately."
Xie Sen cleaned the giant lion's wounds and personally gave it food. The giant lion was very docile throughout the process, but it was more clingy than before. Xie Sen always had to stay close to it.
With Xie Sen's help, Sun Mao gave the giant lion a full body examination. After the examination, his expression was not good.
He looked at MeiIn. "I heard from Qi Shao that you guys won the championship. The Qiankus family has already paid for the contract beast. You can form a contract with it now."
He sighed. "Although it acts very docile in front of Xiao Sen, we can't ignore the fact that it went berserk before. It injured its brain due to the backlash, and its condition is very unstable. The safest and best way for it is to let it form a contract with the Beast Master that it submitted to as soon as possible."
Xie Sen's heart tightened. He knew very well that there was no way to form a contract with MeiIn. His contract beast was not the giant lion.
MeiIn looked at Sun Mao and lowered its head. "I can't form a contract with it."
Xie Sen's eyes widened. MeiIn's tone was full of grievance and fear. It was heartbreaking to hear.
But this shouldn't be the case. He was clearly very excited about the transformation of his contract beast! Also, this tone was too unsuitable for MeiIn!
Sun Mao sighed heavily and patted MeiIn's shoulder. "It's been hard on you. But if you form a contract with it, I'm afraid Rui Luo won't let it go. He'll definitely cause trouble for you."
He said indignantly, "The Qiankus family is too much! No matter what, your surname is Qiankus! "
Xie Sen: "?"
Manager Sun, are you sure this is the reason why MeiIn said we can't form a contract?
But after thinking about it carefully, it was best that Manager Sun thought this way. Otherwise, how could he explain it?
Even a fool would know that a contract beast's sudden transformation could not be easily revealed to others.
"In that case," Sun Mao muttered, "I'll contact Ya Ben's family. Other than you and Rui Luo, he has the highest synchronization rate with the giant lion."
Xie Sen had some impression of the tall and thin young man from Ya Ben's family, but he did not know much about him. He casually rubbed the giant lion's neck and asked, "How's Ya Ben's family's young master? Will he treat it well? "
Sun Mao couldn't help but laugh. "Even the evilest of people will treat their contracted beasts well."
Xie Sen was relieved. Then, he said worriedly, "I don't know if he can make it submit."
Reality proved that Xie Sen's worries were not unfounded.
