Previously, when Xi Ling had used Heaven's Wrath of the Nine Suns to destroy the Heaven's End grade Warring Palace Skeleton, she hadn't received any system announcements. Afterwards, the Warring Palace Skeleton had stood up again, but this time, there was a clear system announcement. This time, the Warring Palace Skeleton had truly fallen, and was completely destroyed.
At the same time, the levelling up auras appeared around Ling Chen and Little Gray's bodies.
"Ding … you have successfully levelled up to LV18 …"
"Ding … your pet" Holy Spirit Beast "has levelled up to LV18."
The giant skeleton in front of him was at least 30 metres long, and the grey aura around it was quickly dissipating until it completely disappeared. Ling Chen could no longer feel any pressure from it. Right now, the Warring Palace Skeleton had completely turned into a pile of bones without any consciousness, and would never be able to stand up again.
The Cancer Orb and Jadeite Jade. Within two days, he had obtained the two things he needed the most, allowing him to easily destroy this giant skeleton without Xi Ling's help. Ling Chen let out a long sigh of relief, and closed his eyes as he thought to himself, "Xi Ling, I've already avenged you. Now, no matter how small the chances are, I'll definitely go to the south and find the legendary guardian beast, the Vermillion Bird …"
When a Celestial grade BOSS fell, it was always accompanied by a magnificent explosion, and the Warring Palace Skeleton was no exception. Ling Chen didn't go around the Warring Palace Skeleton to look for the items it dropped, but instead looked at the black clothed girl floating in the air.
At this time, the black clothed girl had already recovered from the backlash from the Eye of Eternal Darkness, and the first thing she saw was the giant skeleton falling to the ground. Her illusory body floated towards the giant skeleton as if being carried by a cool breeze, and landed on its chest. As she floated, Ling Chen could clearly see drops of tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Don't … die …"
"Don't …"
Standing on the giant skeleton, the girl sobbed, and the sound of her sobs was heart-wrenching.
Ling Chen sighed slightly and turned around. He had no way of knowing where this girl came from. She was only left with half of her soul, so she definitely did not know who she was or where she came from. Perhaps her mind was only equivalent to that of a two or three-year-old child. She instinctively guarded the only place in her memory. Day after day, year after year, she did not know how long she had been here. This giant skeleton was her only companion, her only reliance, and it could be said that he was her only family. Now that it was dead, no one would be able to bear such a blow, even if she was a half-spirit girl with a pale mind. From now on, she would have to stay in the Forest of Bones alone. The only person accompanying her would be the soulless doll in her arms that could not move, could not speak, and could not move.
The reason why this skeleton still had its final consciousness was obviously because it was using its entire body to protect this girl … To them, he was the most hateful intruder.
Ling Chen stood there in a daze for a long time, listening to the girl's pitiful sobs. Finally, he shook his head, shaking off the unnecessary pity in his heart. He no longer looked at the girl, but instead walked over, preparing to pick up the spoils of war that the Warring Palace Skeleton had dropped.
The moment he moved, the crying girl immediately flew up from the skeleton like a frightened rabbit. Her eyes were filled with deep fear as she looked at him.
Ling Chen: "…"
This girl was not afraid of any physical attacks, and Ling Chen did not have any elemental control abilities, so he could not hurt her. Therefore, there was no need for this girl to be afraid of him. However, it was clear that she did not know this. The giant skeleton that had protected her had fallen, so he was probably the same as the person who had killed her father. Therefore, it was natural for her to be afraid of him.
If he were to speak, this girl would definitely be even more afraid. Ling Chen could only choose to remain silent, and no longer looked at her. He prepared to start searching for the items that the Warring Palace Skeleton had dropped. Suddenly, he did not know if it was an illusion, but he saw the girl's body become translucent for a moment, and then quickly return to normal.
This was …
Very quickly, Ling Chen knew that what he had seen was not an illusion. However, two seconds later, the girl's body once again became translucent. Through her body, Ling Chen could clearly see the scene behind her. Ling Chen looked at her in shock. Her body would become translucent every two seconds, causing her to switch between the real and the fake, and the frequency seemed to be getting higher and higher … then, when this frequency reached a certain level, would her body completely disappear?
"With the death of the giant skeleton, the Soul Sacrifice Contract between her and the giant skeleton has also been broken. She borrowed the power of the giant skeleton to form an incorporeal body, and is about to completely disappear … then, this girl will become a pure half-spirit. When that time comes, she will become a completely … lonely wild ghost. "Qi Yue said slowly, a hint of pity in his voice. Compared to this pitiful girl, he was actually much luckier.
Ling Chen: "…"
"Ai," Ling Chen sighed, "Back then, after completing the mission, I really shouldn't have stepped into this place."
Because he had entered, this girl had lost everything because of him … however, too many people had died because of her. In the future, more and more people would die because of her. It could be said that he had saved many people, but in his heart, because of this girl, there was still a sense of guilt that he could not get rid of.
Forget it, what's the point of thinking so much? Ling Chen looked away, no longer looking at her. He walked towards the Warring Palace Skeleton's body.
"… Young master, quickly leave!! Leave this place immediately!! "
Just as Ling Chen was about to pick up the first spoils of war, Qi Yue's voice suddenly rang out in his mind. His heart shook, and without any hesitation, he quickly ran in a certain direction and asked, "What's going on?"
Qi Yue quickly said, "The giant skeleton is dead, but the girl did not die with it. This means that the 'Soul Sacrifice Contract' that the girl used on the giant skeleton is the first time she has used it. Because the Soul Sacrifice Contract can only be used twice in a lifetime, if the person who used it the first time dies, the contract will automatically disappear. If the person who used it the second time dies, the person who used it the second time will also die. Since this is her first time, then she can use it a second time … her incorporeal body is about to disappear, and she needs to find another living being who can use the Soul Sacrifice Contract to recover. The only person who can use the Soul Sacrifice Contract here is you, young master!! "
Ling Chen: "!!"
After using the Soul Sacrifice Contract, he would have to bear all the damage that the girl suffered. This was definitely not a good thing, because if it really happened, he could be hit at any time no matter where he was standing, sitting or lying down. He would not even be able to sleep well. Although she was not afraid of any physical attacks, there were many living beings that could control magic on this continent.
So after hearing Qi Yue's explanation, Ling Chen's speed increased, and he had no choice but to temporarily give up on the loot that the Warring Palace Skeleton dropped. The loot of a Faerie BOSS would not disappear.
"However, it seems that it's too late." Qi Yue said.
"What do you mean by too late?"
As soon as Ling Chen finished speaking, a dim black light flashed in his eyes. The black light seemed to descend from the sky and land on top of his head. Instantly, an indescribable feeling flashed through his heart, but it quickly disappeared. What followed was a system announcement that almost caused Ling Chen to jump up.
"Ding … you have been forced to use the 'Soul Sacrifice Contract' by '????'. All the damage that '????' receives will be borne by you until you die."
"Ding … because you are a player, '????' has been determined to be your humanoid pet due to the Soul Sacrifice Contract. '????'. From now on, all the damage that '????' will be borne by you, and its level will be the same as yours. When moving together, the experience gained will not be split. Unless you truly die, you cannot cancel this contract in any way. Please name your new pet. "
Ling Chen's footsteps stopped, the expression on his face a complete mess. He turned around and looked at the girl in black who was floating in the air. Her body was no longer illusory, and for a moment, he did not know whether to cry … or cry.
"There's nothing we can do about it. The Soul Sacrifice Contract is mandatory. Let alone you, even if the Moon Deities came, they would not be able to resist it. This is also why so many people were frantically searching for a way to activate this type of contract. " Qi Yue said helplessly. However, if one listened closely, they would be able to hear a hint of schadenfreude in his voice.
The girl's hands were placed in front of her chest, and she looked at him with a dark and fearful expression … She was afraid that Ling Chen would hurt her, and also afraid that her illusory body would disappear completely. Therefore, she did not even need to think about it, and imposed this second contract on Ling Chen … This was not a mature and intelligent girl, and she would not think about the consequences of doing this.
A layer of cold sweat appeared on Ling Chen's forehead. All the damage that this girl would receive in the future would fall on him … He was a player, and could revive after death. However, once he died, his level would return to zero!! This was the first time he heard Qi Yue mention it, and he felt that it was an extremely ridiculous contract. Now, it had fallen on him … Moreover, this contract could not be resisted, and could not be canceled! In other words, as long as he was alive, it would always be like this!
Holy shit!!
"Bear all the damage, and cannot resist or cancel it … How could there be such a contract! If more people learned this, wouldn't the world be in chaos!! "Ling Chen said through gritted teeth.
"Oh, Little Master, do you think that anyone can use such a terrifying contract? Throughout the history of the Mystic Moon continent, there have been many legends about this contract, but it has only appeared once. According to the legends, there are only two types of living beings that can use this contract. The first type is a living being that has a Godhead. "
"Godhead? What is it? Gods like the Moon Deities? "Ling Chen asked.
"Moon Deities? Hehe … Although the Moon Deities are called 'Gods', their essence is just 'humans' with special physiques and extremely powerful strength. The so-called 'Godhead' is something that truly surpasses the level of 'humans', and becomes above all living beings in the Mystic Moon continent, and has the qualifications to touch the level of 'True Gods'. Until now, the only one who has touched this' Godhead 'is probably the Shura from ten thousand years ago. This girl obviously does not have a 'Godhead'. Otherwise, with just a move of her little finger, Little Master would have died tens of thousands of times. "Qi Yue said with a smile.
"What about the other type?"
"The other type is a living being with extremely powerful mental strength. According to the legends, the person who used the Soul Sacrifice Contract had a terrifying mental strength. However, this girl only has half of her soul left, and just now, she tried to attack your mental strength, but was defeated. So, she does not belong to this type of possibility. "
"…"
"Hehe, Little Master, you don't have to worry about it. After all, these two possibilities are only legends, and no one knows whether they are true or not. However, this girl can use this contract, and I am surprised to find it hard to believe. Her background is not simple at all. "
