Chapter 213 Soul Contract
Morrow and his party spent a few days in Liuying Country.
Although the visa is still valid for more than half of the period, they have no intention of continuing to stay.
Before leaving Liuying Country, Moro wanted to see Chimera.
Hence, Menqi took Moro and his entourage to the Forest of Flowing Fire, the famous demonic domain of Liuying Country.
This Demon Realm is famous for its rich forest resources, but because it is located in a volcanic zone, there are many active volcanoes scattered in the forest.
Forests and volcanoes, life and destruction,
The strange harmony has remained unchanged for many years.
"It's almost time for Chimera to wake up."
Menqi led everyone to the outskirts of the Forest of Flowing Fire, pointed to the forest shrouded in heat mist in the distance and said: "Every time it eats, it sleeps in the volcanic magma for a whole week."
Sleeping in the magma - unheard of."
This was the first time that Moreau heard Menqi mention this matter, and he was a little surprised.
Menqi's eyes flashed with excitement: "I thought it was incredible at first, but our human understanding of fantasy beasts is really limited. Maybe this is Chimera's innate talent."
"Same."
Moro thought about it, even the World Tree of the Dark Continent can take root and grow in magma. In comparison, it seems not surprising that Chimera is sleeping in magma.
The existence of phantom beasts is different from normal creatures.
In his opinion, phantom beasts are more like a life born from fantasy, which cannot be explained by normal standards.
With the leadership of Menqi, everyone quickly entered the Forest of Flowing Fire.
This is a demonic realm, under the jurisdiction of Liuying Kingdom, and there are regulations prohibiting entry into the forest.
But Menqi was a professional hunter. With his hunter's license and his special status as a gourmet hunter, he easily obtained the passage permit.
Everyone entered the forest and walked through it like this.
As they went deeper, the surrounding temperature gradually increased. Several active volcano craters in the distance continued to spit out gray-white smoke, shrouding the entire forest in a hazy sulfur smell.
Morrow came to the large open space at the foot of the mountain and could vaguely feel the temperature coming from the soles of his feet.
Looking up, he could already see the crater of one of the volcanoes glowing dimly with a dark red light.
Menqi stood in front of everyone, pointed to the towering volcano in front of them, and said: "This is it. I'll ask Chimera to come down. You guys wait for me here."
Menqi had no objections and sent Menqi towards the volcano.
At this moment, two figures suddenly rushed out of the woods on the other side of the clearing.
They were surrounded by thoughts and looked panicked, as if they were avoiding something.
Morrow looked at the light like lightning. In an instant, he recognized the other person as the passenger who had disembarked with them a few days ago. He was also the only two telepathic people among those passengers.
I don’t know what happened to him, but he looked so panicked and embarrassed at this time.
Morrow's eyes passed over the panicked faces of the two men, and he suddenly noticed the backpack slung around the waist of one of them, with some blood slowly seeping out from the bottom of the backpack.
The two telepathic people also discovered Moro and his group, but they only looked at each other for a moment before looking away in a hurry,
They continued to move forward and fled.
However, as soon as they rushed out a few kilometers, a sudden change occurred, "Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Two black shadows like venomous snakes shot out from the forest, drawing deadly arcs in the air, pointing directly at the two telepathic users.
Morro Dingqing took a look and saw that there were two chains with kunai tied at the ends, and the whole body was wrapped with thought energy, and the speed was quite fast.
The next moment, the chains accurately wrapped around the calves of the two telepathic users. The powerful impact caused the two people to lose their balance instantly and fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
At almost the same time, three figures flew out of the forest and landed steadily dozens of meters away.
The people who came were all dressed in standard ninja attire, and two of them were holding the chains that had just tripped the target.
Morro looked at the three ninjas calmly when he saw this. At the same time, he was keenly aware that there were at least a dozen auras lurking in the forest, but he was temporarily unable to judge whether there were people with telekinesis abilities among them.
Menqi has been wandering in the deep mountains and old forests all year round, and his perception is very keen. Like Moreau, he has noticed many smells hidden in the forest.
It's just that neither of them looked too much into the forest, but looked at the telekinesis users dressed by the three ninjas.
"There are others."
One of the three ninjas looked at Moro and the others and said.
As his words fell, the other one simply said: "Control it first and then talk."
They were talking in their own dialect, so Moreau didn't understand.
However, judging from the changes in their thoughts, Moro can easily read the malice.
Kurapika and Kurt also felt the malicious thoughts of those ninjas, and then they opened their sperm holes,
released the maximum manifestation energy and entered a fighting state.
However, just as the tension in the field was tense, a dull roar like dry thunder suddenly exploded in the sky.
Everyone's hearts were shaken, and they subconsciously looked up at the sky.
I saw a giant creature with a weird shape swooping down from a high altitude.
The monster had a red bird head, a bloated body like a lizard, a pair of huge fleshy wings spread out from its back, and the end of its thick tail split open like a bud, revealing layers of spiral serrations, flashing with a cold light as it swung.
"This, this is——?!"
The expressions of the three ninjas who were about to attack Moro and others suddenly changed. Ignoring the two telekinesis users who were bound by chains, they retreated violently and distanced themselves instantly.
And this strange beast, which is as big as a heavy truck, is the fantasy beast Chimera.
ced ground with a heavy sound of landing, the Chimera's huge body stirred up a circle of dust.
His scarlet vertical pupils were locked firmly on the three ninjas, with a naked desire for prey in their eyes, as if they were examining several pieces of fresh meat.
"Chimera!"
Menqi rushed forward in surprise, reaching out and stroking its thick thighs covered with scales, "Did you sense that I was in danger, so you rushed here in a hurry?"
However, Chimera did not respond to her intimacy, and still stared in the direction of the ninjas.
Until it smelled a sense of fear from the ninjas, it slowly withdrew its gaze, turned its slender neck, and lowered its red bird head in front of Moro.
At this moment, the ferocity in its eyes instantly dissipated, replaced by an almost flattering joy, and it even gently rubbed its red-furred head against Moreau, just like a pet that pleases its owner.
When Men Qi saw this scene, a smile froze on his face, and his whole body froze in place as if struck by lightning, his eyes full of disbelief.
Kurapika and Kurt looked at the Chimera who was so close with some curiosity.
Although I had heard Menqi briefly describe the situation of the Chimera before I came here, now that I saw it with my own eyes, I still felt a sense of surprise.
Even though there is a giant monster in Kurt's house, compared with the appearance of the Chimera, it cannot be regarded as a species at the same level.
Moro stretched out his hand and gently stroked Chimera's head. After not seeing each other for several months, he could actually feel a faint feeling of blood connection from Chimera's body.
"It really is because of the "energy of the annual rings""——··
Looking at Chimera's excited reaction, Moro had already made a conclusion in his mind.
Chimera absorbed 15% of his annual ring energy before hatching from the egg.
Perhaps from that moment on, he and Chimera established a relationship similar to a soul contract.
With this kind of relationship, even if he had little contact with Chimera during this period, he could still maintain a strong emotional connection.
But what kind of existence is a phantom beast?
Why can it be born through the incubation of annual ring energy·
If you insist on saying it, the essence of annual ring energy should be the spiritual energy bred from "One Thought."
So what is the connection between the two?
Moreau doesn't understand.
Just saw it today After arriving at Chimera, he can basically determine the use of the annual ring energy. In other words, he is really the chosen phantom beast hunter.
As long as he has enough annual ring energy and phantom beast eggs, he can create an army of phantom beasts with human power.
Thinking of this, Moro smiled slightly.
Chimera seemed to be able to feel Moro's mood, and suddenly became more excited. The red bird's head kept rubbing Moro's body back and forth.
Menqi, who was as petrified as a stone, was so sad that he couldn't say a word after seeing Chimera's reaction.
Originally, she thought that Chimera might forget Moreau, but instead of forgetting, she became so close to her that she threw her hard-working old mother aside.
Menqi was sad and angry at the same time.
She kicked the Chimera hard.
Chimera looked at her suspiciously, and the next moment she continued to rub her head against Moreau.
Men Qi opened his mouth, his eyes were slightly red, and he looked like he was about to cry without tears.
In the open space in front of the forest, the three ninjas and the two telekinesis users who were bound by chains all stared at the Chimera in surprise.
There was a look of fear on their faces without exception.
Even the dozen ninjas lurking in the forest held their breaths, their eyes full of horror.
What made them so fearful was the Chimera's thick tail.
More accurately, it is the spiral mouth twister at the end of the tail.
Just hanging in mid-air, as if they had self-awareness, always pointing in their direction accurately, with the jagged edges opening and closing slightly, as if they were silently calculating the position of their prey.
Deep in the forest, a young bald ninja slowly raised his hand and wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead.
"In the Forest of Flowing Fire—How could such a monster appear?"
The bald ninja murmured in a low voice, with unconcealable shock in his voice.
This bald ninja is the jounin of the Kumogakure style, Hanzo.
At this moment, he stared at Chimera and Moro, with unbelievable waves in his heart.
On the one hand, he couldn't believe that there would be such ferocious and terrifying monsters in the world. On the other hand, he was shocked that such monsters would surrender to humans.
Because of the sudden entrance of Chimera, the original dispute in the field seemed to become the most insignificant thing.
"Retreat!"
The leading ninja was fortunate that the people on Moro's side did not seem to have a strong desire to attack, and gave the order to retreat immediately.
The other two ninjas heard this and responded instantly.
But when they retreated into the forest, they did not intend to throw down the two telepathy users. Instead, they swung the chains and tied the two telepathy users tightly before retreating into the forest.
"Save me, please, save me——! "
The telepathic person carrying the bloody satchel suddenly shouted for help at the top of his lungs toward Moro.
Morrow's expression was dull and he turned a blind eye to the cry for help.
Seeing Moreau's reaction, the caller suddenly showed a look of despair, and was quickly pulled into the forest by the ninjas.
After the breath of the group of people had gone away, Moreau turned to look at Menqi and asked, "Those two people, couldn't be poachers, right?"
Menqi looked at the bloodstains that extended all the way into the forest and said: "I don't know how to make it. I smelled a lot of seasonings and accessories on them. Only gourmet hunters would carry these things with them."
Menqi nodded in agreement and did not feel sorry for the two food hunters.
This is a controlled restricted area. Maybe they can obtain a pass as a food hunter, but they should also abide by local regulations.
One of the conditions that the control department allowed them to enter is that they cannot illegally hunt the creatures in the forest.
The two food hunters just now obviously crossed the line and were sanctioned by a group of local ninjas. They deserved it.
But compared to the fate of the two food hunters, Menqi was more concerned about Chimera's affectionate attitude towards Moreau.
"Damn it, I have carefully prepared all kinds of delicacies for you every day!!!"
When Menqi thought of this, he started to get angry again.
She raised her foot and kicked Chimera again.
However, Chimera ignored her at all, and only looked at Humolo.
“Ah, I’m so angry!”
Menqi raised his hands in the air and roared incompetently!
Kurapika and Kurt silently moved away from Menchi, and then looked around Chimera.
Chimera is very smart and can distinguish the relationship between Kurapika and the others and Moro, so he retracts the powerful tail of his mouthparts very calmly.
Morrow noticed that Chimera's little move was very humane and smart.
The more important thing is loyalty.
He felt even more satisfied.
But he did not intend to take Chimera away.
Since the environment of Flowing Fire can allow Chimera to grow to this size in a few months, it is undoubtedly the best choice to continue to breed it here.
But before leaving Shangying Country, he planned to leave a star mark on Chimera.
And he was quite curious about a grudge.
Chimera, as a phantom beast, possesses the innate ability to move freely in magma, so I don’t know if it can awaken the power of "thought".
Thinking of this, Moreau looked at the Chimera's thick tail and mouthparts.
I am afraid that they are the powerful chimera ants in the original work. In front of the Chimera, they are just one bite at a time.
