Chapter 119 - Ancestor Blood Dragon
Many Pet Tamers had gathered on the edge of the blood lake. As it gradually subsided, everyone had the urge to try it, wanting to explore what was inside the blood lake.
Suddenly, a blood light broke out from the center of the lake and then all the mist covering it disappeared. The entire lake seemed to have been restored to its original calmness.
"What"s that? Was a treasure just born?"
The Pet Tamers by the lake chatted excitedly. The Nine-headed Blood Phoenix quickly flew toward the center of the lake, and everyone else hurriedly followed.
At the same time, in an unmanned forest by the lake, a cold-faced young man finally showed himself. He looked at those people rushing toward the center of the lake then silently turned and left. His figure quickly disappeared among the trees.
This was naturally Su Bai.
Those who had just gone to the center of the blood lake to hunt for treasures were destined to obtain nothing. They never imagined that the true master had already quietly left.
One day later, in a deserted valley.
The baby dragon, the cub, the little dino, and the baby fox all played around Su Bai.
"Okay, okay. That"s enough! Let"s take a break and then get ready to leave."
He looked helplessly at his four pets.
The relationship between the Little Bloodworm and his other pets was initially not very good, but it was through the others" help that it had been able to transform into a dragon.
"Howl! (๑oั╰╯oั๑)"
Ah Bai, I want to eat something delicious~
Purple Jade blinked its big eyes as it placed its two front paws on his hand and acted cute.
"Weep weep…"
I want to drink milk~
The Mewling Fox also acted cute.
Although the Little Tyrant and the Little Blood Dragon did not speak, the two also looked at him eagerly.
"Okay, okay. If you eat now, the next meal will be in the evening."
Su Bai could not resist this cuteness attack of theirs, especially the cub and the baby fox"s. Who could resist it when these two sweet la.s.sies took turns acting cute in front of him?
Shaking his head helplessly, he took out the energy medicinal cakes from his backpack and fed them to his pets.
He had personally made his pets potions, all except for the little dragon that had just transformed. Su Bai had yet to concoct a potion for it, so he fed it a spiritual fruit, the Blood Red Fruit, instead.
All in all, the harvest was full this time. His biggest harvest was transforming the Little Bloodworm.
Finally, he found a quiet place and examined its data.

...
*****
After reading the little dragon"s information, Su Bai could only describe it as powerful. After all, it was a pet that had attracted the phenomena of heaven and earth, so it was only reasonable.
The most important thing was the level of the Little Bloodworm. Because its power during metamorphosis and evolution was too sufficient, it was directly born as a low-level warlord.
Other than those skills, he also had a bond skill with it, the Dragon Soul. It was a permanent bond skill, which could protect his soul from being controlled and harmed and let the little dragon permanently sense where he was.
This skill also made him immune to any attacks from the Ancestor Blood Dragon.
This was one of the little dragon"s gifts to him.
Now, with the cub"s bond skill, Life-sharing, and the dragon"s Dragon Soul, Su Bai was relatively safe.
"Howl!" While he was still thinking about it, the cub and the others finished eating and played around to aid digestion.
The cub and the baby fox frolicked on the green gra.s.s, while the little dino lay on the stone mat basking in the sun.
The little dragon, meanwhile, lay next to him, quietly enjoying the leisurely time after dinner.
The cub caressed its ruby-like scales and leaned against it.
"Little Blood, it"s okay for you to use the First Dragon Blood to develop some subordinates. It"s good for you."
Su Bai hugged it.
"Roar~"
I know, Ah Bai; I just haven"t gotten used to it yet.
Nodding, the little dragon opened its mouth and sprayed blood onto the ant"s pa.s.sing by with food in front.
After receiving the blood, the ant"s body suddenly changed. It grew to the size of a fist, and a scarlet horn appeared on its head. Its aura increased tremendously and it was about to reach the low-level servant.
The ant looked at its body and then up at the dragon. It bowed its head and turned to leave.
The dragon used the First Dragon Blood to infect and transform some creatures into subordinates so that it had the power of evolution and transformation of the bloodline and also some power of the dragon attribute.
Unlike the violent and ignorant bloodline monsters in the wilderness, which would attack people when they saw them, the little dragon"s subordinates had their own consciousness and would not attack indiscriminately. They were just like normal monsters.
The only thing was that their power did not belong to them, so even if they relied on this power to become very powerful, the little dragon could still easily take everything back and could even take away their lives if it was cruel.
Moreover, the descendants of the monsters and spirits, which had obtained the First Dragon Blood, would inherit this retractable power.
Though it seemed quite evil, it was the laws of nature. Technically, it was not considered a bad thing for monsters.
For example, under normal circ.u.mstances, the ant earlier would have a lifespan of at most ten years, but after its evolution, it became stronger and could live for at least ten years. It had gotten rid of its life as a weakling and was considered a blessing now.
"For now, you should become more proficient in your strengths. Your advancement from a low-level servant to a low-level warlord was too sudden, so there are many things to adapt to."
Su Bai glanced at it and instructed.
"Roar~"
The little dragon nodded obediently.
"Let"s go and prepare to return."
He stood up after resting for a while.
"Howl!"
Ah Bai, are we flying back?
The cub ran over and glanced up at him.
"No, we"re walking back. Your dragon sister can master her power on the way back."
He shook his head. It was rather far from the spatial gate of the Blood Moon Bar, so the road there could help familiarize the little dragon with its power for the day.
"Roar~"
Walking is good; I can dig ores to eat~
The Little Tyrant gnawed on a piece of golden ore and said happily.
After packing, Su Bai discerned the direction and set off.
"Is this the Ancestor Blood Dragon? Wow, it"s so powerful!"
At this moment, a female voice came from the sky. A tall woman with a killer body sat on the back of a big bird and slowly landed in front of Su Bai. She looked at him and the little dragon with a charming smile on her face.
"Howl! (〝▼皿▼)"
"Roar! (▼皿▼#)"
...
The four pets immediately a.s.sumed defensive stances, ready to attack at any time. They could feel the terrifying pressure coming from his woman.
"Wei Ya, what"s the matter?" Su Bai glanced at the woman, unsure how she had found out about the evolved Ancestor Blood Dragon.
"Of course." With a sly smile on her face, she walked to the boy and spoke. "I"ve liked you for a long time. Be my boyfriend—"
"Impossible. You can give up." He interrupted her immediately.
"Don"t rush to reject me." Wei Ya walked over to him and complained. "Don"t you think that I"m much better than your little lover? My chest is bigger than hers, my legs are longer, my waist is thinner, and I"m also prettier. Most importantly, I am more mature than her and know everything…"
Su Bai was held in place by her and could not move at all. Her alluring red lips were only two centimeters away from him as her fragrance pierced his nose.
"Also, I hold a prestigious position; I"m one of the Twelve Dragon Slayers, a Divine Physician. If you follow me, you will have access to anywhere you want and can rapidly climb up the ladders…"
As she spoke, she booked an arm around his neck.
Su Bai controlled his reaction and tried hard to stick to the final bottom line. "Don"t be like this. You"re only here because of the Ancestor Blood Dragon, aren"t you? We can talk about it nicely, so there"s no need to do this. I"m a person with my principles, and I won"t ever betray my girlfriend.
"Sister, if you force me to violate my principles by all means, I"ll definitely hate you for the rest of my life."
"Then I"ll force you." Wei Ya smiled charmingly and reached out to pull Su Bai"s zipper.
He closed his eyes and stopped talking.
"You"re so boring. What"s so bad about me? You"re still pretending despite already reacting to my seduction. I didn"t say that I can just be your mistress."
Wei Ya stepped back and spoke with disappointment.
"There"s nothing bad about you—each to their own. I just have my preferences."
Su Bai raised his head.
"If the dragon families and halls of the Pet Alliance find out about your Ancestor Blood Dragon, they"ll definitely hunt it down, so I"m here to invite you to join our Twelve Dragon Slayers organization. I"m one of them, the Skeleton Queen."
Wei Ya smiled at him.
"Give me a reason why I should join that evil organization?" he asked. "Of course, if you threaten me with death, then I"ll definitely join you."
Wei Ya: "…"
"I appreciate your honesty." She laughed charmingly and combed her long hair. "Why do you think that the Twelve Dragon Slayers organization is evil and the Pet Alliance is a just organization? Just because they control the rights of human society?"
"Yes. At the very least, the Pet Alliance won"t do anything like taking away a young girl"s soul stone when she has yet to become a Pet Tamer."
"Hehe! The sins done by those in the Pet Alliance are a thousand times more despicable. They just maintain a bright and majestic appearance.
"As for those who take away the blood soul stones, what does it have to do with us? It"s their greed causing such trouble. The blood soul stones can be taken by several methods, but they themselves choose that way.
"It"s just like how the Pet Alliance despises and kills all the blood pets. Now, why don"t you find the bloodline secret research facilities of those families in the Pet Alliance? Just like the Ancestor Blood Dragon you cultivated, they"ve already started a long time ago. I myself studied and tried cultivating an Ancestor Blood Dragon, but I failed in the end.
"The Pet Alliance is internally corrupted. The promotion channels are firmly determined by the families and gymnasiums, and it"s impossible for outsiders to be promoted. Some large and rare species like the Giant Ray and the Kraken can normally be cultivated by everyone, but these pets are privately owned by them in the name of extinction, and only their internal members can control it.
"There are so many things that it"s impossible for me to explain everything to you in just three days and three nights."
Wei Ya spoke with disdain and murderous intentions.
"Do you know how our organization came about?
"You would never have imagined that this organization was formed by heroes who resisted the invasion of monsters in this world. In order to resist the invasion of terrifying bloodline monsters, countless people and pets died in battle.
"What happened in the end, though? Those villains not only stabbed us in the back and sealed us in this world, they also drove our relatives in the Pet Alliance toward extinction. They took all our wealth and rights as theirs; is that what a righteous force should do?
"Do you know why half of the dragon pets in the Pet Alliance have been slaughtered to death? It"s retaliation after we broke the seal and returned.
"Do you still think that the Pet Alliance is as you said?"
"At least there"s the imposing of justice, or else society is doomed if the Pet Alliance is really so evil."
Su Bai silently thought about it before replying with that. Although he had not reached that height yet, he understood that light and darkness must exist simultaneously. However, based on what he experienced, he felt light must suppress darkness.
"Of course, there are still teachers of justice, but I believe that they"ll be killed off soon," said Wei Ya disdainfully.
"Don"t talk about such unpredictable things; I won"t have access to these matters for the time being, anyway. Just tell me why you want me to join your organization? Stop beating around the bush."
Su Bai shook his head. These were all her one-sided claims, and it was up to him to discern the truthfulness of her words.
He was afraid that if she spoke more, he would really be swayed by her one-sided sentiments.
