HPDBC Chapter 215 Good Baby
Chapter 215 Good Baby
In the air, the dark gold and black intertwined script did not stop because the giant bird was frozen. Instead, it spread and permeated rapidly along the fine lines on the surface of the ice, like living mercury!
"Click...click..."
From within the ice, a fine, rapid cracking sound could be heard.
It wasn't that the giant bird was struggling to break free; on the contrary, its frozen posture appeared even more "solidified" under the glow of the inscription.
It's as if the physical freezing has shifted to being "bound" by some deeper, rule-based system.
DouDou's small body trembled slightly, and her face turned pale at a visible speed.
Clearly, "forced contracting" is more difficult than imagined.
The contract with a level 3 weirdo is still a huge burden to her Sequence 2 origin, even if the other party is in an extremely weak and forcibly controlled state.
Xu Sixing's eyes reflected a scene that ordinary people could not see.
The flowing light of the inscription is not simply energy, but more like thin yet resilient "threads of rules".
They pierced through the ice, ignoring the giant bird's dull, decaying protective layer, and directly invaded its core soul.
The threads of rules ignore all defenses and directly imprint a certain "mark" into the deepest part of the soul.
The giant bird's soul resisted fiercely; even though its body was frozen, the backlash from its spirit still impacted DouDou through the contract connection.
His face turned pale instantly, and he swayed and almost fell over.
It seems that this little girl was really lucky to be able to form a contract with Niu Niu.
"DouDou!" Jiao Jiao, who was already prepared, raised her hand and a milky white "restoration" halo fell on DouDou.
The swirling light mitigated some of the impact of the spiritual backlash.
Reinvigorated by the support, DouDou's spirits lifted, a stubborn glint flashing in her eyes. She shouted, "Contract complete!"
As her last syllable fell, a wisp of the giant bird's soul split off from its depths and went straight into the little girl's forehead!
In Xu Si's view, the giant bird's soul no longer struggled, it seemed that the contract had been successfully completed!
"boom"
The ice covering the giant bird suddenly shattered, turning into countless glittering ice shards that reflected a poignant light in the afterglow of the blood-red sun.
Amidst the swirling ice shards, the enormous, death-speaking raven... slowly rose to its feet.
Xu Si reached out, and the Star Guide was activated to retrieve a beak-like object from under him.
At this moment, the [Death-Slaying Crow] was still covered in wounds. Its left wing was pierced by Xu Si and was severely damaged. The dark wings were gradually casting shadows.
The three snake-head-like necks drooped, and the originally ferocious scarlet eyes were now covered with a hazy, slightly dull color, reflecting DouDou's small figure.
It stopped struggling and howling, and just stood there quietly, its massive body undulating slightly, exuding a decaying and deathly aura that had subsided but was still chilling.
Succeeded?
The platform was completely silent, save for the howling mountain wind and the glow of the setting sun.
"This guy is so ugly!" Jiao Jiao immediately commented.
Everyone else held their breath, watching this incredible scene.
The malicious perception from Yi Yi has indeed disappeared.
"Did it really succeed?" Fu Xiaojian asked.
He didn't really understand contracts, but the thought of the caravan having an extra, strange, and readily combat-ready unit was terrifying.
Then he looked at DouDou: "Can you control it?"
After the contract was successfully signed, Dou Dou's condition was surprisingly good, and Xu Si even felt that her sequence seemed to have advanced a bit.
"It should be possible!" She hesitated for a moment.
"Then ask it and see if you can find out anything," Fu Xiaojian said.
DouDou nodded seriously and then asked the waiting [Death-Slaying Crow], "What do you know?"
Fu Xiaojian was dumbfounded. Was that how you asked the question?
Everyone seemed to see a row of question marks appearing above Ya Ya's head.
"Oh! I forgot! I forgot!" DouDou recovered and then asked YaYa through the power of the contract.
"It seems like I can't get any information out of you. Just like Niu Niu, I can only give simple instructions," Dou Dou said somewhat discouragedly after a while.
"Can I command him in battle?" Fu Xiaojian was somewhat disappointed, but it was also within his expectations.
"This works!" DouDou seemed to have regained her confidence.
Xu Si seemed to have noticed something.
The wound on the wing of the [Death-Slaying Crow] seems to be slowly healing under the shadow.
"As long as I can command it to fight, that's fine." DouDou's answer cheered Fu Xiaojian up.
His gaze swept over the giant bird that stood silently, scarred yet still exuding a dangerous aura, then looked at the messy platform around him and the bottomless lake and cliffs in the distance.
"Let it recover first. Everyone else, stay alert. Tashan, repair the ground and check your vehicles. We'll rest here for today."
"clear!"
It was getting late, and we had finally found a suitable place. If it weren't for the earlier incident, the convoy would have already started resting.
[Strange item detected: tooth/beak]
[Characteristics: Bite, Hatred, Venom]
Seeing the bird-beak-shaped object fall from his hand, Xu Si couldn't understand why the three-headed snake would drop such a thing.
Store the "Beak" in the cloak space. Among the system's recommended options, this drop is more suitable for enhancing the "Judgment" attribute of the [Sword of Punishment].
Alternatively, it could be combined with the previously obtained [Marrow of the Rock] to create a unique dagger that focuses on armor penetration and poison.
He was not satisfied with either of the upgrade plans.
He was also considering whether or not to use the [Essence of Golden Rock] on his own vehicle.
Its immortality, durability, and energy conduction properties make it a very appealing material for vehicles.
However, it feels somewhat wasteful; it would seem more appropriate to use it on weapons.
For example, recreating a weapon-type artifact.
However, his [Sword of Punishment] is certainly sufficient for now, and he is used to using a sword and has no intention of changing to another weapon.
Unfortunately, the system cannot directly enhance itself.
Otherwise, if he used that knowledge on himself, he might become a man even tougher than Mount Tai.
On the platform, Tashan has begun using rocks to repair the eroded pits in the ground.
The others carefully inspected the vehicles, since the battle had been quite intense, and it was hard to say whether they had been affected.
Jiao Jiao circled around the now-quiet death-sent crow, both frightened and curious.
DouDou held the now-warm cow shell, her little face still a bit pale, but her eyes were bright.
"Brother Dao, thank you all. Crow is healed and can hunt on its own now. I'll have it catch a few more monsters for you!"
The little girl was a bit reserved for a moment, clearly thanking Xu Si for helping her capture the strange contract.
"That's great!" Xu Si was surprised by the unexpected joy.
I thought a weirdo had come to steal my stuff, but it turned out to be a nice baby!
"Ask it if there are any other powerful and strange things here!" Xu Si looked at the endless lake in front of him, feeling uneasy.
"Yes!" DouDou nodded repeatedly after a few breaths.
The crow was clearly vengeful; it might not know about other things, but it would never forget its enemies.
Damn, there really is one!
Xu Si's face was grim; it would be abnormal if such a large lake didn't exist.
