Chapter 298: Black Swan
“This is the Battle Beast you prepared for me?”
Angela pointed at the swan that was far away, her beautiful big eyes were already filled with tears.
The swan was the most n.o.ble and holy of all the Battle Beasts.
Even the holy unicorn was slightly weaker.
People who had contracted with the swan would put on a pure white armor when they fused with the Battle Beast and a pair of wings would grow on their back.
They were just like the angels in the legends.
Wild swan Battle Beasts were very rare.
Moreover, they were extremely vigilant.
As long as the people around mentioned their names, they would be discovered in an instant.
Moreover, swans were very proud Battle Beasts.
If they were injured and captured, some swans would even choose to commit suicide even if their feathers were only dirtied.
There was a kind of tragedy where one would rather die than have their own.
Moreover, the breeding ability of swan Battle Beasts was extremely low.
Once they were discovered, not only would they immediately stop hatching, but they would also not hesitate to peck the eggsh.e.l.ls or kill the young birds.
It was precisely because of this rarity that swan Battle Beasts were highly sought after by women.
Their combat strength was no longer important.
As long as they could own a swan, they would immediately become the focus of the crowd.
They would be looked up to wherever they went.
Just like the famous handbags in Locke’s previous life.
The world of women was just so strange.
If they could successfully steal a swan Battle Beast egg, they could even exchange it for the position of city lord in a more remote place.
In the records of the church, the number of people who could successfully contract a swan Battle Beast could be counted on one hand.
Angela looked at the swan and her tears of grievance fell like beads that had broken a string.
Other people might not have the ability to sign a contract with a mature Battle Beast.
However, Locke definitely had a way.
After all, he could turn such a weak Little Silver back into a King Kong that could sweep across an entire region.
“There are quite a few wild Battle Beasts in this lake, and they’re all quite talented.
“I can sense them all, but I can’t be that accurate.
“I didn’t know there was a white swan in there either.
“However, even if it’s a white swan, it’s only a tier 3 Battle Beast. You should know how difficult it is to sign a contract with a mature Battle Beast. Why are you crying?”
Locke did not know what Angela was thinking at all.
It was very strange to see her crying.
“None of your business!”
Angela realized that she had misunderstood and turned her head away angrily.
Wild Battle Beasts were a very rare species.
They were a type of Battle Beast, but their attributes were more toward the light side.
Although Battle Beasts could also contract, most of them were dark-oriented.
Not only was the difficulty of the contract difficult, but after it was successful, it would also affect the owner’s subconscious.
If a person lacked mental fort.i.tude, they might become irritable, easily angered, and even more aggressive.
This was also the reason why most Beastmasters could only form a contract with one Battle Beast.
The difficulty of feeding Battle Beasts was only one reason. On the other hand, it was to prevent themselves from being affected too much.
If a Beastmaster wasn’t able to fully control a Battle Beast, even a Battle Beast would cause conflict in the subdued beast s.p.a.ce or even fight.
To a Beastmaster, this was a disaster.
It was also because the attack power of the Battle Beasts was much lower. To a Beastmaster, it was the best choice for a second Battle Beast.
However, due to their incompatible attributes, wild Battle Beasts were easily attacked by Battle Beasts.
Within the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there were basically no wild Battle Beasts.
Only the Tanggula Mountain, which was at the edge of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, had a living s.p.a.ce for wild Battle Beasts.
For Locke, contract Battle Beasts were not a problem at all.
So, he did not care much about wild Battle Beasts.
Hathaway’s Battle Beast had died and Little Silver’s talent was also very shocking, so Locke directly helped him contract.
Angela already had a Light Elf, so it was obviously not suitable to contract a Battle Beast.
That was why he went to the lake to see if there was a suitable Battle Beast.
As for the Wild Swan Battle Beast, it was completely unexpected.
Ever since she saw the swan, Angela could not take her eyes off it.
Even the wild Battle Beast could not see it.
All she could think about was her angel.
Just like a driver who had just driven a Maserati, how could he be interested in a pickup truck?
For Angela’s situation, Locke had no choice.
Wild Swans were too easy to commit suicide, not too powerful.
No one had a choice.
At this time, Little Silver finally cleaned up the Bon.o.bo and ran over eagerly.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Heavy footsteps sounded like a mountain of meat.
At this time, Little Silver was over five meters tall and weighed at least a few tons.
If he directly pounced over, just the pressure alone would crush Hathaway to death.
Hathaway cried out nervously and raised her hands, trying to put Little Silver back into the spatial inventory.
This was when Little Silver suddenly revealed a sly smile.
His body quickly shrunk back to its previous form, which was less than half a meter long and soft and cute.
He directly jumped into Hathaway’s arms.
His little head was bobbing up and down.
“Naughty!”
Hathaway was really scared by its acting just now.
Seeing his soft and cute appearance now, she was not angry anymore and laughed.
Angela was extremely envious.
She could become the saint of the Church of Light precisely because of her special const.i.tution.
Just like how Battle Beasts had a tendency toward light and darkness, there were also some humans who were naturally more inclined toward the light side.
Angela was more partial to light-attributed Battle Beasts, especially swans.
Just as she was feeling dejected, she suddenly heard a series of gurgling sounds. She looked up and saw that the swans had returned.
Not only that, there was also a group of clearly smaller swans and another adult swan following behind them.
This was a rare swan family.
Wild Battle Beasts like swans were too temperamental and could easily be destroyed.
However, the breeding conditions were very harsh.
Even though they could not contract swans, seeing a group of young swans learn to fly with their parents with their own eyes was something that could only be described as rare.
Angela clapped her hands happily below, shouting and jumping.
Although she was excited, she did not dare to get too close.
After all, if she made the swan mother realize the danger, it was very likely that she would kill the young swans.
Caw! Caw!
At this time, an unpleasant sound like that of a duck was heard.
Suddenly, there was a big splash on the surface of the lake. A fat figure jumped out of the water, stretched out his long neck, and pecked at the Flying Swan.
Angela let out a scream.
It turned out to be a rare Black Swan.
The Black Swan was a variant of the swan, a kind of swan that leaned toward the dark element.
Swan itself was very rare and the black swan was even rarer.
It was rumored that meeting the Black Swan was very unlucky.
Bad things would happen.
For some reason, the Black Swan was very hostile to the White Swan.
Seeing the little swan learning to fly, the Black Swan quacked strangely like a mad dog, rushing up and biting.
One of the little swans was so scared that it did not react in time.
The Black Swan bit its wings and fell to the ground.
