Hugging Cai 'er tightly, Long Haochen gritted his teeth and said, "It's all my fault. I didn't protect you well. That's why you had to use the Spiritual Stove of Samsara. "
Cai 'er smiled and said, "Silly, as long as you're okay, everything is fine. After you and Haoyue fused, your aura was really strange. Even my Sword of Samsara was activated by you. It seems that my cultivation is still not good enough. "
Hugging Cai 'er tightly, Long Haochen said in a deep voice, "From now on, before your sense of smell recovers, I won't allow you to participate in any battles. You can only stay here and rest."
Cai 'er was stunned and blurted out, "How can I do that? I want to stay by your side. "
Long Haochen shook his head and said in a domineering manner, "No, you can only stay here and rest. I don't have the ability to protect you on this battlefield. I can't let you face any more dangers. Cai 'er, we've been together for so long, and I've never asked you for anything. But this time, you must promise me. Definitely. "
Cai 'er was silent. She was not used to Long Haochen's sudden toughness. However, she could feel that Long Haochen's body was slightly trembling because of his emotions.
"Cai 'er, do you know? I'm afraid of losing you. I promise you, when you're not by my side, I'll take good care of myself and protect myself. I'll definitely come back safely and won't let you worry. "
Cai 'er nodded in his arms and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Long Haochen was overjoyed. "Thank you, Cai 'er."
Cai 'er nestled against his warm chest, softly saying, "As long as you always remember that I'm more afraid of losing you, in this world, you're the only one who can bring me warmth, that's enough."
Long Haochen gently kissed her forehead, and the two of them closed their eyes almost at the same time. Their expressions were more relaxed, and their hearts were closer to each other.
…
Assassin Temple Headquarters.
Hero Sheng Yue was quietly sitting on a huge pitch-black armchair. Beside him was the vice chief of the Exorcist Mountain Pass, Liao Tianze, who had temporarily replaced Sheng Lingxin in charge of the defense of the Exorcist Mountain Pass.
"Sir Hero, this is the situation."
Liao Tianze had just finished reporting to Sheng Yue about the situation of the ten new Monster Hunters intercepting the Demons' grain transport team, which included this box.
"This thing is very precious! To think that Long Haochen was willing to take it out. " A rare smile appeared on Sheng Yue's aged face. His fingers gently tapped on the box, but his eyes flickered slightly. No one knew what he was thinking.
Liao Tianze said, "According to Gao Yingjie, Long Haochen and the others didn't open this box before handing it over. He was afraid that the box contained an important item related to the Exorcist Mountain Pass. These children were really not simple. If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to hand it over. This time, they should have encountered a powerful resistance. I reckon that it was Gao Yingjie and the others who took action to get rid of the Demons guarding this thing. This is a spiritual stove, and the ones guarding it are at least seventh rank Demons. If this thing wasn't of the light attribute, I'm afraid its protection would be even stronger. "
Sheng Yue slightly nodded and said, "In any case, these children are so selfless. Our Assassin Temple can't be stingy."
While speaking, he lightly flicked his finger, and the box's solid lid popped open with a "Bo" sound.
A ball of gentle white light quietly rose up. One could clearly see that it was actually a small person. It was only half a foot tall, and its whole body was emitting a pure and holy white light. On its back was a pair of wrinkled little wings that were unfolded, but it couldn't fly. Its little face was full of exhaustion, and it slightly struggled, trying to flap its wings.
A Light Elemental Spirit. That's right, in the box that Long Haochen and the others had seized, there was impressively a Light Elemental Spirit, an incomparably precious Elemental Spiritual Stove.
Demons could also absorb Spiritual Stoves and Heavenly Treasures, but Light Elemental Spiritual Stoves were an exception. This was because Demons were born with the dark attribute, and were most resistant to the light attribute. If they were to absorb this thing, it would be much more powerful than the most poisonous poison.
If Long Haochen knew that the box contained a Light Elemental Spiritual Stove, perhaps he would have hesitated a bit before making a decision.
Among all the Elemental Spiritual Stoves, the most precious were the Light Elemental and the Dark Elemental. This was because they were not only rare, but also had an extraordinary significance to both Demons and humans.
The Light Elemental Spiritual Stove wasn't ranked particularly high among all the Spiritual Stoves. Of course, it was still a lot stronger than the Saint Spiritual Stove, and was ranked around 20th among all the Spiritual Stoves. However, it had a common characteristic with the Saint Spiritual Stove, and that was its natural gentleness. It was the complete opposite of the Dark Elemental Spiritual Stove's cruelty.
After the Light Elemental Spiritual Stove absorbed it, as long as it didn't encounter a Spiritual Stove with a conflicting attribute, it wouldn't easily reject it. Moreover, the Light Elemental Spiritual Stove had the most extensive uses, and could be used by anyone with the light attribute. The most suitable ones were naturally a Priest, a Knight, and a Light Magician. If any of them were to see the Light Elemental Spiritual Stove, perhaps they would fight for it at all costs.
Sheng Yue looked at the little guy and faintly smiled, saying, "Your pain will be far away, so let me find you a companion. Otherwise, with your weak little guy, you can only gradually fade away. "
Raising his head to look at Liao Tianze, the gentleness in Sheng Yue's eyes was gradually replaced by coldness, "If I haven't guessed wrong, the Demons transported this Light Elemental Spiritual Stove to the Demons' camp because they want to make a deal with us. The highest possibility is to exchange it for food. "
The Temple League was very clear about the Demons' lack of food, but in the face of some special treasures, the Temple League would sometimes carry out a deal with the Demons. It could be considered as each taking what they needed. From both sides' point of view, what they obtained was what they needed the most.
For example, the Demons had once been captured by the Temple League of a low-level Demon God. In the end, they used ten Spiritual Stoves to exchange for this Demon God captive.
Six thousand years of war had created a relationship between humans and the Demons that was as incompatible as fire and water, but in the course of the war, there were also variables.
Liao Tianze hesitated for a moment, saying, "Sir Hero, do you mean to return this Light Elemental Spiritual Stove to the team that obtained it?"
Sheng Yue shook his head, saying, "That won't be the case. Our Assassin Temple itself has no use for this thing, but this operation is jointly launched by ten Monster Hunters. Moreover, you are very clear about the value of the Light Elemental Spiritual Stove. If we only return it to Long Haochen's team, once the news is leaked, I'm afraid it will cause public indignation. Not only will it not show the magnanimity of our Assassin Temple, but it will also have the opposite effect. "
Liao Tianfa was puzzled, asking, "Then what should we do?"
Sheng Yue stretched out a finger, gently rubbing the top of the Light Elemental Sprite's head, saying, "Let this little guy choose for himself."
As he said this, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of slyness. This was killing two birds with one stone! Thinking of this, this Sir Hero couldn't help but feel somewhat proud.
…
When Long Haochen and the others returned, it was already noon. They were so tired that they didn't even eat lunch. When the sky turned dark again, suddenly, a scream woke everyone up from their sleep.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Why, why did this happen? "The scream echoed in the living quarters, waking everyone up.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? "Sima Xian turned over and sat up, reaching out to grab the staff on the bedside.
On the other side, Wang Yuanyuan also sprang up from the bed. She was only wearing a single layer of clothing when she jumped off the bed.
This sound came from Chen Ying 'er's bed. Because she had also imitated Cai' er's method of wrapping a cloth around her bed, no one outside could see what was going on inside.
The others naturally woke up as well. Wang Yuanyuan was a girl, so she stepped forward and pulled aside the cloth covering Chen Ying 'er's bed to look inside. She couldn't help but be stunned when she saw what was going on.
The others still couldn't see anything from their angle. Long Haochen had already gotten down from the bed with Cai 'er. In a few steps, he arrived at Wang Yuanyuan's side. However, it was a girl on the bed, so it wasn't appropriate for him to look inside. He hurriedly asked Wang Yuanyuan, "What's wrong with Ying' er?"
"See for yourselves." Wang Yuanyuan turned her head, and Long Haochen could clearly see that the corners of her mouth were moving, as if she wanted to laugh.
Wang Yuanyuan moved aside, so everyone could naturally see what was going on inside. They saw Chen Ying 'er sitting there with a face that looked like she wanted to cry, but no tears came out. In her arms, there was a small pig that was wriggling around.
The little pig's body was snow white, and its skin was like the soft flesh of a lychee. It was round and plump, and its body was only about a foot long. Under the snow white skin, there was a faint glow.
"Ying 'er, what's wrong with you? Is this your summoned beast? "Long Haochen asked doubtfully. After a few hours of rest, his complexion had improved a little. Although he couldn't fight, it didn't affect his ability to walk.
Chen Ying 'er suddenly burst into tears. She hugged the little pig in her arms and threw herself onto the bed, tears and snot flowing down her face. She looked like she was in unspeakable pain.
Lin Xin poked his head over and asked doubtfully, "Why are you crying so sadly? This little pig is quite cute. Do you want to eat roast suckling pig tonight? "As he spoke, a ball of flame appeared on his finger.
A fat little pig head emerged from Chen Ying 'er's waist. It stared fiercely at Lin Xin and forcefully blew at him.
"Pu." The flame on Lin Xin's finger actually disappeared just like that.
"Eh, this little pig is a little interesting! Ying 'er, this can't be your natal summoned beast, right? "Lin Xin laughed heartily.
His laughter didn't matter, but Chen Ying 'er immediately cried even louder.
This time, Lin Xin couldn't laugh anymore. Everyone else's complexion instantly changed. Wang Yuanyuan hesitantly said, "Ying 'er, this, this can't really be …"
Chen Ying 'er suddenly sat up straight, and looked at everyone with tears in her eyes. "I, I also don't know what's going on. Previously, when we intercepted the grain carts, I activated the Living Soul Gate and summoned this pig. At that time, you were fighting Bloodthirsty Beta. I saw that it obviously didn't have any fighting strength, so I hugged it. After the battle, I saw that it was quite cute, so I brought it back. At that time, you guys weren't in a good state, so you didn't notice. "
"I originally thought that since this little pig looked so cute, it would naturally disappear after playing with it for a while. The summoned beast I summoned with the Living Soul Gate can only last for six hours at most. But, but it's already been more than eight hours, and it still hasn't disappeared. When I woke up and saw that it was still there, I was terrified. I hurriedly checked my soul contract. I, I actually … "
When she said this, everyone naturally understood.
Chen Ying 'er actually inexplicably signed a soul contract with this seemingly harmless little white pig. It became her natal summoned beast.
Chen Ying 'er looked at the soft little white pig in front of her and couldn't help but burst into tears again.
For a summoner, the natal summoned beast was definitely the most important. This was because the natal summoned beast would always grow along with the summoner's growth. The stronger the natal summoned beast was innately, the more powerful it would be after it matured.
Low-level summoners relied on various kinds of summons, while real summoner powerhouses relied on their natal summoned beasts. A powerful natal summoned beast would even surpass the summoner's own rank. A summoner who had reached the rank of rank nine would definitely have a powerful rank ten summoned beast. They wouldn't be inferior to any rank nine powerhouses of other professions.
Although Chen Ying'er's talent as a summoner was completely different from an ordinary summoner's, she was the same when it came to summoning a natal beast. At this moment, she actually had a little pig as her natal summoned beast. How could she endure this! More importantly, she immediately thought of Yang Wenzhao's Brilliant Unicorn.
Chen Ying 'er regretted not listening to Hero Sheng Yue's words and subduing that Evil Eye Overlord. Although it didn't look good, it was still powerful! Now that she had gotten such a little pig, how could it still play a role in the team in the future? She was originally a burden on the battlefield and was bound to be eliminated by the team.
"Stop crying, what's the use of crying." An ice-cold voice suddenly rang out, like a splash of cold water, causing Chen Ying'er to shiver involuntarily.
Everyone turned to look in surprise. The one who spoke was actually Cai 'er.
Ever since the formation of the Soldier Level No. 1 Monster Hunters, Cai 'er rarely spoke. It was almost entirely up to Long Haochen to communicate with the others. She only followed silently. However, her deterrence and importance in the team was something that everyone had to face. Before Long Haochen merged with Haoyue to transform into the Radiant Knight, she was fully deserving of being the strongest and the number one attacker in the team.
"You can't just use your eyes to see things, you also have to use your heart. Don't be blinded by appearances. How could an ordinary little pig take the initiative to form a soul contract with you, but as a summoner, you didn't notice? "
