Zhou Wen looked at the black-robed Chess Soul in puzzlement. He had won the chess game, but he didn't immediately use the rules to control his body. Instead, he asked such a question. He didn't know what he was up to.
"I have a companion who wants to contract a Guardian." Zhou Wen didn't say that he wanted to contract a Guardian.
If the black-robed Chess Soul had something wrong with his brain and said that he could contract it, wouldn't that be a little awkward for him? He couldn't attack, but he couldn't not attack either.
He couldn't just go up and kill the person who gave him his treasured treasures with a smile, right?
"Is it that one?" The black-robed Chess Soul glanced at Li Xuan.
"Yes." Zhou Wen nodded.
The black-robed Chess Soul said, "I can give him a chance to try contracting it, but there's a condition."
Zhou Wen looked at the black-robed Chess Soul in shock. This was the first time he knew that a Guardian beast could negotiate with others.
"This intelligence should be considered super among dimensional creatures on Earth, right?" Zhou Wen thought for a moment and asked, "What condition?"
The black-robed Chess Soul pondered for a moment before saying, "If you can't contract it, you have to help me destroy the Guardian inside the cocoon."
Zhou Wen was even more alarmed when he heard that. He never imagined that the black-robed Chess Soul would make such a request in advance.
"Pardon me for asking, but aren't you protecting it?" Zhou Wen asked.
The black-robed Chess Soul didn't answer and only asked Zhou Wen, "You can consider it. If you agree, you can get your companions to try contracting it. If you don't agree, you can leave now."
"Why did you choose us?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"Because you can help, especially you," the black-robed Chess Soul answered directly without hiding anything.
"I need to discuss it with my companions," Zhou Wen said after some thought.
"Sure." The black-robed Chess Soul nodded slightly. Zhou Wen felt the taboo power on him vanish and he could stand up from the stone stool.
Seeing Zhou Wen return, Li Xuan and Feng Qiuyan wore curious looks. Li Xuan asked, "Old Zhou, what's going on?"
"The black-robed Chess Soul said that we can try contracting a Guardian, but there's a condition," Zhou Wen said.
"There's still a condition?" Li Xuan and Feng Qiuyan widened their eyes in disbelief.
"I originally thought that it was impossible, but now it seems that I had some kind of misunderstanding in the past." Zhou Wen now felt that the relationship between Guardian Beasts and Guardians wasn't as simple as he had imagined.
"Coach, what conditions does the black-robed Chess Soul have?" Feng Qiuyan asked.
Zhou Wen repeated the black-robed Chess Soul's words without changing a single word.
Li Xuan and Feng Qiuyan exchanged looks when they heard that. Just like Zhou Wen, they found it unbelievable that such a thing could happen. It completely exceeded their imagination.
"If the contract fails, do we have the ability to kill the Guardian?" Li Xuan asked.
"I can give it a try. Since the black-robed Chess Soul dares to take action, I believe he has some confidence. If you want to give it a try, go ahead. "Zhou Wen also wanted to get rid of the Guardian to prevent another enemy in the future.
"Alright, I'll give it a try." Li Xuan didn't hesitate any further.
After the three of them reached an agreement, they went up Mt. Chinese Chess and came in front of the black-robed Chess Soul again.
"Does it mean that as long as we agree to help you, we can try contracting a Guardian?" Li Xuan asked.
"That's right." The black-robed Chess Soul nodded slightly.
"Alright, we agree. Can we try contracting a Guardian now?" Li Xuan looked at the black-robed Chess Soul.
"Anytime." The black-robed Chess Soul looked very easy to talk to. It didn't request Zhou Wen and company to make an oath.
In fact, not all dimensional creatures had the ability to bind oaths. It was a very high-level ability that only a few powerful dimensional creatures had.
"Then I'll be going." As Li Xuan walked towards the Guardian cocoon, he looked at the black-robed Chess Soul.
The black-robed Chess Soul sat there leisurely without any intention of stopping him.
Li Xuan had long learned the method to contract a Guardian from Zhou Wen. Without any hesitation, he cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood on the Guardian cocoon.
Unfortunately, the Guardian wasn't interested in Li Xuan. Li Xuan's blood flowed down without seeping into it.
"You don't know what's good for you." Li Xuan retreated gloomily.
"You can give it a try too," the black-robed Chess Soul said to Zhou Wen and Feng Qiuyan.
"I don't need it," Zhou Wen said.
"I don't need it either," Feng Qiuyan said firmly.
The black-robed Chess Soul was somewhat surprised. After glancing at them, it said, "Since you can't contract it, you should fulfill your promise now."
"What do you plan on doing? What can we help with? "Zhou Wen asked.
The black-robed Chess Soul stood up and looked at the Guardian cocoon. With a heavy expression, it said, "This Guardian cocoon shouldn't be here."
Zhou Wen was enlightened. "In that case, you don't need to protect it?"
To his surprise, the black-robed Chess Soul shook its head and said, "My duty is indeed to protect it. Therefore, before it contracts, I can't hurt it unless a special situation happens."
Zhou Wen guessed the special situation the black-robed Chess Soul mentioned. He looked at the Guardian cocoon and said, "Do you want it to break out of the cocoon without a contract?"
The black-robed Chess Soul nodded and said, "A Guardian without a contract is not allowed to break out of the cocoon. As long as you can help me break its cocoon and force it out, I can deal with it."
"In other words, we only need to break the cocoon of the Guardian and don't need to participate in the battle, right?" Zhou Wen pondered.
"Of course, if you take the initiative to participate in the battle, you can also participate," said the black-robed Chess Soul.
Zhou Wen and company looked at each other. They never expected the black-robed Chess Soul's request to be so simple.
"What did you mean when you said that it shouldn't be here?" Li Xuan asked.
The black-robed Chess Soul said with a strange expression, "This explanation is very complicated. To put it simply, this Guardian and I don't belong to this dimensional zone. Due to some accident, we appeared in this dimensional zone."
"In that case, you aren't a Chinese Chess Soul?" Zhou Wen and company looked at the black-robed Chess Soul in a daze.
"No," the black-robed Chess Soul answered with certainty.
This answer made Zhou Wen and company's expressions turn even odder. Li Xuan asked, "You aren't a Chinese Chess Soul. How can you have such powerful chess skills?"
"All chess types have similarities. Although I'm not a Chinese Chess Soul, I'm also a Chess Soul. Therefore, it's not difficult for me to learn Chinese Chess," said the black-robed Chess Soul.
