For a demonic beast, if the test was unsuccessful, then it would change to another method. Between demonic beasts, if it was not for territory, resources, or prey, there was no need to directly fight to the death. If there was a great disparity in strength, there might be a tyrannical conquest, but if the two sides were almost the same in strength, the best way was to negotiate. Demonic beasts were not fools, especially when there were a large number of cultivators in the Barren Sand Valley.
Yang Chen gave the viper demonic beast the impression that he was able to swallow the viper's killing intent without a care, so he was naturally not an easy opponent. Since Yang Chen was just asking for directions and did not mean to harm it, it naturally would not attack immediately. It wanted the secret of Yang Chen's ability to transform into a human, so it naturally had to pay a price.
At this stage, although the viper demonic beast had learned to hide, it was its innate ability. It did not learn to hide its strength, but it was very clear about this. Usually, if the cultivation base was not as good as it, it would be directly frightened by its innate spiritual awareness with a strong killing intent. Yang Chen could take it, so naturally he was almost as powerful as it.
Strength was the only way for both sides to communicate equally. Since Yang Chen had accepted its threat, then he naturally had the qualifications to communicate equally with it.
"In addition to the things I want to ask, help me three times. When I collect something in the Barren Sand Valley, you have to protect me!" This viper demonic beast could not only hide, but it was also very strong. Yang Chen naturally would not let go of such a natural fighter. Whether it was to collect the Earth Element True Essence or kill Chu Heng, he needed such a strong assistant. Yang Chen directly put forward such a condition. In any case, he only had to pay a simple Transformation Art.
This Transformation Art was almost like a basic cultivation technique in the Spiritual Realm. The first thing that demonic beasts who ascended had to learn was the Transformation Art. It was not worth much, but it might be a little precious in this world.
Although the Shapeshifting Art was marvelous, its function was only to allow the demonic beasts to transform their huge bodies into the shape of humans, but they were still demonic beasts on the inside. They could not cultivate the cultivation techniques of humans, nor could they change the demonic beast aura on their bodies. Even if it was spread out in this world, it would not be a big problem.
The Subterranean Beast was only at the Golden Core stage, so it had no use for such things. However, the Viper already had the strength of a Nascent Soul. If used well, it could become a great help to Yang Chen. Naturally, Yang Chen would put in more effort to rope it in.
But for the Viper Demon Beast, this kind of cultivation technique that could transform into a human was a good thing that it could only wish for. It already knew how to hide itself. With the Transformation Spell, it could completely hide among humans without being noticed. Its safety was greatly improved. Even if it was used to plot against its enemies, it was still a good item at the level of a divine artifact. How could it not be tempted?
"Deal!" Demonic beasts were straightforward when it came to doing things. If it was okay, then it was okay. If it wasn't, then it was okay. There were no twists and turns. Or rather, at least for now, they had not learned those twists and turns. After the Viper heard the conditions, it only did a slight calculation of the gains and losses before immediately giving an affirmative answer.
At the same time that it was a deal, a ball of white light flew out of the Viper Demon Beast's head and slowly flew in front of Yang Chen. Yang Chen knew that this was the unique method of establishing a contract with the Demon Clan. It was to use one's divine sense to wrap a trace of the Demon Soul. The two parties would exchange and mutually restrict each other. Only when the contract was completed would the Demon Soul be returned. Of course, this trace of Demon Soul contained the contents of the contract between the two parties. It could not be changed.
With a thought, the pair of ox horns in his Spiritual Sea immediately separated into two small ox horns. They were wrapped by Yang Chen's divine sense and sent out as well. The Viper opened its mouth wide and Yang Chen's "Demon Soul" entered its mouth. As for the Viper's Demon Soul, Yang Chen pointed with his finger and kept it in his Spiritual Sea.
After entering the Spiritual Sea, Yang Chen saw that the Viper's Demon Soul also looked like the Viper's original body. However, he did not know how many times smaller it was.
"So it's a green ox!" After the Viper kept Yang Chen's "Demon Soul", it immediately transmitted a thought. It seemed that it only now knew what Yang Chen's original body looked like.
"This is the Transformation Art!" Yang Chen did not waste any time. He directly took out a blank jade slip and engraved the Transformation Art on it before throwing it to the Viper Demon Beast.
The Viper swallowed the jade slip in one gulp. To the Demon Beasts, their bodies were the best Cosmos Sack. Not only were they convenient to use, but they also did not have to worry about losing them.
In just a moment, the Viper Demon Beast understood the contents of the jade slip. At its level, many things had already been poked through the layers of window paper. Soon, it understood the logic behind it.
The Viper's huge body trembled for a while and made a crazy cracking sound, as if there were many hands breaking and compressing the Viper's bones. Around its body, there was a burst of white gas, but under the sun, it looked very blurry. However, the dust that rose from the ground directly blocked Yang Chen's vision.
Yang Chen was very polite and did not use his Spiritual Sense to see what was happening in the dust. If it was not in such a desperate situation, the Demon Beasts would usually not be willing to let people see their original body. This was a basic courtesy.
After the cracking sound echoed for a long time, it slowly quieted down. The dust around Yang Chen also began to dissipate slowly.
At this time, Yang Chen had already landed on the ground and put away his Flying Sword. Since they had reached an agreement, there was no need to worry about danger for the time being. The credibility of the Demon Beasts was sometimes more reliable than the cultivators.
When the dust dissipated, what appeared in front of Yang Chen was a very ordinary looking Viper. Its length had become about three feet, and it was no longer that crazy size. It crawled in front of Yang Chen and coiled its body. The snake's head was raised high, facing Yang Chen, and a Spiritual Sense was immediately transmitted.
"Very effective Transformation Secret Art!" It was the first time that the Viper Demon Beast practiced the Transformation Secret Art, but it had already reduced its body size by a few hundred times. Although it had not reached the point of directly transforming into a human, but the change in body size was enough to make all the cultivators who faced it relax their vigilance. When this Viper Demon Beast was regarded as an ordinary little Viper, it also meant that it was not far from death.
"The skill is not deep enough. It seems that it will take some time before it can transform into a human form!" Yang Chen nodded and said. It was a habitual way of communication. Even if it had to use Spiritual Sense to communicate, it still liked to talk. "Learn to speak slowly. If you don't want to be seen through at a glance, either speak or pretend to be mute!"
"Where do you want to go, I will take you there!" The Viper nodded on the ground, but its body went straight forward and directly coiled on Yang Chen's leg.
