Contract Failed?

Those ruby-like eyes belonged to the "Red-tailed Green Serpent" that Xu Yunxin had been longing to contract with.

This "Red-tailed Green Snake" had been observing Xu Yunxin for a long time, but the light mist around it could isolate all its presence. It had been hiding and spying on him for so long that even when Xu Yunxin transformed into a tree and amplified his senses, he still couldn't detect it.

Ever since tasting Xu Yunxin's secret recipe "Bamboo-Scented Pig and Rat" last night, this "Red-Tailed Green Snake" has been reluctant to leave.

What's more, Xu Yunxin deliberately deposited and withdrew "Bamboo Scented Pig and Rat" multiple times yesterday, just to tell this "Red-tailed Green Snake" that he still had a lot of stock on hand.

That's a "Bamboo-Scented Pig-Rat"!

This is the favorite food of the "Red-tailed Naruko," so it is naturally very attractive to it.

Of course, his act of luring second-tier demonic beasts was risky.

If things go wrong, luring someone into becoming food for them could very well result in them being killed on the spot.

Xu Yunxin dared to do this because of the hidden blessing brought to him by fate [Animal Companions]: he could gain a certain degree of favor from different animals.

With this level of goodwill, as long as he doesn't deliberately court disaster, he won't anger this "Red-tailed Green Snake," and he can even protect the animals with him.

This is something he personally verified when he went to the bamboo forest to hunt "bamboo-scented pig rats".

Everything is proceeding according to Xu Yunxin's plan, and we're just waiting to see the results tonight.

Xu Yunxin transformed into a tree body twice more, pushing the experience points for the skill "Wild Transformation" to eleven.

When I woke up from meditation again, it was already night.

The moon is at its fullest on the sixteenth day of the lunar month.

At this moment, there were no clouds in the sky, and a bright moon shone down, illuminating the entire mountaintop in a pure white light.

Xu Yunxin gently stood up and stepped onto the large rock, as if standing in pure white frost.

He looked around by the moonlight, but did not see the "Red-tailed Green Snake", so he began to roast the "Bamboo-scented Pig and Rat" on his own.

This time, he had just finished roasting the first "Bamboo-Scented Pig Rat" and torn off a hind leg to eat. Before he could put the "Bamboo-Scented Pig Rat" into the red willow basket, he suddenly felt his hand lighten, and the "Bamboo-Scented Pig Rat" disappeared into thin air.

Without any magical fluctuations or the appearance of anything, the "Bamboo Scented Pig Rat" simply vanished into thin air.

Xu Yunxin paused for a moment, then seemed to remember something and continued roasting the next "Bamboo-Scented Pig Rat" without stopping.

This time, he deliberately squeezed the "bamboo-scented pig and rat" he had eaten, but the "bamboo-scented pig and rat" still disappeared into thin air with a "whoosh," leaving only a red willow skewer in his hand.

"So it's done by 'inhaling'."

Xu Yunxin recalled a story about a giant snake that hid in a tree and could suck up its prey out of thin air, and was therefore worshipped as a god.

The "Red-tailed Green Snake" must have been nearby, and it used a "sucking" method to take the "Bamboo Scented Pig Rat" from his hand.

After figuring it out, Xu Yunxin grilled another one. This time, he didn't eat it first, but just held it and waited for the "Red-tailed Green Snake" to eat it.

The "Red-tailed Green Snake" waited for a long time, until the heat on the "Bamboo-scented Pig-rat" had almost dissipated, before finally sucking the "Bamboo-scented Pig-rat" away.

Seeing that the "Red-tailed Green Snake" was willing to eat the "Bamboo-scented Pig-rat" that he hadn't touched, Xu Yunxin knew that he and the "Red-tailed Green Snake" had already developed a certain level of trust.

The fifth "Bamboo-Scented Pig Rat" had just been roasted and hadn't even been removed from the charcoal fire when it was sucked away by the "Red-Tailed Green Snake".

Xu Yunxin smiled and took out the sixth "Bamboo Fragrant Bamboo Rat". This time, he roasted the "Bamboo Fragrant Bamboo Rat" while activating his skill towards an open space.

[Skill: Animal Spirit Contract LV0 (Spirit Contract Quantity 1)]

[A contractable animal detected: Snake, Tier 2 Low (Mutant), Affinity 16, Contract Success Rate 19%-0%, Contract conditions met, initiate contract?]

[WARNING! The success rate of the contract is too low. Please choose carefully!]

Xu Yunxin hesitated for a moment, and just as the fifth "Bamboo Scented Pig Rat" was about to be roasted, he took out the sixth "Bamboo Scented Pig Rat".

As soon as the fifth "Bamboo Scented Pig Rat" was sucked away, he immediately roasted the sixth one and used his skill on the open space again.

[A contractable animal detected: Snake, Tier 2 Low (Mutant), Affinity 17, Contract Success Rate 20%-0%, Contract conditions met, initiate contract?]

Sure enough, feeding increases intimacy!

Xu Yunxin continued grilling; today's "Bamboo-Scented Pig and Rat" is all you can eat!

The sixth one, the seventh one, the eighth one... the sixteenth one!

Each time Xu Yunxin roasts a "Bamboo-Scented Pig Rat," he tests his skill once. Each time he eats a "Bamboo-Scented Pig Rat," the intimacy level between him and the "Red-Tailed Green Snake" increases.

When he continued to roast and feed the sixteenth "Bamboo Scented Pig Rat", his intimacy with the bamboo scented pig rat began to increase by 0.5 for the first time, which meant that the "Red-tailed Green Snake" was almost full.

With an intimacy level of 27.5, the success rate of the contract has reached 30%.

Xu Yunxin dared not wait any longer. If he could keep feeding the "red-tailed green snake" this time and it developed some resistance to the "bamboo-scented pig rat," then he might not be able to attract it again tomorrow. If he really couldn't attract it, he would have to wait until the 15th or 16th of next month to try again.

With the end of October fast approaching and everything about it about to wither, the barbarians would definitely come to plunder. He didn't have time to wait another month!

Activate the skill!

Hesitation will only lead to chaos.

Xu Yunxin gritted his teeth and unleashed the [Skill: Animal Spirit Pact] on the open space.

With his will, the grayish-white World Tree seed in his sea of ​​consciousness suddenly lit up, bursting forth with a strange azure-gold halo.

The aperture ignored the barriers of time and space, appearing out of thin air on that open ground.

After the aperture closed, Xu Yunxin finally saw the "red-tailed green snake".

This is a large snake with a green body, except for its red tail and eyes.

The snake's body was coiled up, and it was about half a zhang in size.

A layer of bluish-white light surged across the snake's scales, and a faint bluish light flickered in its eyes.

A thin layer of white mist surrounded the giant snake, gathering beneath its body and silently lifting the enormous green serpent.

At this moment, the green snake's belly bulged slightly, and it had a "bamboo-scented pig rat" in its mouth.

The giant snake was a little confused by the sudden appearance, and even forgot to swallow the "bamboo-scented pig rat" it was holding in its mouth. It just stared at Xu Yunxin with wide eyes.

"Hiss~ Oops! Hiss~ We've been spotted!"

Suddenly, a clear, melodious sound, tinged with a hissing tone, rang in Xu Yunxin's mind.

Is that the snake's voice?

Has the contract been successfully signed?

"Hiss, I'm full. Should I hide it, or snatch it? Roasted mouse? Hiss~"

After its form was exposed, the "Red-tailed Green Snake" was not afraid. It swallowed the "Bamboo-scented Pig-Rat" in one gulp and flicked its tongue at Xu Yunxin.

[WARNING! The contract partner is experiencing emotional fluctuations. Please stabilize your emotions immediately, otherwise the chance of contract failure will increase!]
