Chapter 132: Chapter 37 The Malfunctioning Summoning Technique

A few more days passed, and Yue Jinghua established a rapport with her Contracted Beasts. Both Flash Mink Leopard and Cannibal Small Qingpu soon found their own methods of cultivation.

Among the Contracted Beasts, the Fourth-level Flash Mink Leopard progressed the fastest.

The laws of Heaven and Earth on Canglong Continent must be adhered to by all creatures for cultivation, along with the Five Elements, complemented by wind, rain, thunder, lightning, cloud, and the two opposing forces of Yin and Yang.

The Flash Mink Leopard species is innately associated with the Thunder Element. They possess the ferocity of leopards and the agility of minks.

Little Shanshan was born with attributes of both the Thunder Element and Wind Element, which made its cultivation far more difficult than that of an ordinary Flash Mink Leopard. Leopards are solitary by nature and prefer tranquility. Having left its pack to fend for itself, it encountered Lie Meng and his people.

Luckily, it met Yue Jinghua, who contained the miraculous Nine Revolutions Creation Power within her, and the rare Mo Xi’s Sea of Consciousness.

With the influence of both, Little Shanshan broke through the constraints of cultivating its Dual Attributes.

If Little Shanshan could speak human language, it would certainly claim that beasts too have their dignity.

It was greatly stimulated by the previous bout of torment from Ni Huo. Half a month ago, it successfully broke through to the Fourth-level and produced the rare Wind Thunder Dark Pill.

Once the Dark Pill was formed, Little Shanshan’s shiny fur acquired a few traces of wind marks. When it ran swiftly, streaks of striking black wind could be seen under its feet.

In just short three days, Little Shanshan had dominated the Dark Beasts around the outskirts of Polo City, truly embodying the stance of the most formidable Dark Beast outside Polo City.

Cannibal Small Qingpu was completely bluffing, relying on its intermittent "flattery" to scratch Little Shanshan’s itches. Without expending any effort, it simply waited for Little Shanshan to drag a Dark Beast back each day to feed it.

As for the Gold Eater Worm, Yue Jinghua had completely forgotten about it in some corner.

It was only after three days when Yue Jinghua remembered that the Meat Worm had been exchanged for a Sixth-level Dark Pill and numerous Third-level Dark Pills, that she took an interest in summoning the Meat Worm with the Contract Array.

When the Hexagram Array dulled from bright to faint, there was no response from the Gold Eater Worm. Even after summoning it three times in succession, there was still no reaction.

A Summoned Beast can survive independently from its Summon Master, but the precondition is that under any circumstances, once summoned by the Summon Master, the Summoned Beast must respond. This is the fundamental principle of Summoning Contracts.

"Failed summoning only arises in two scenarios. One is if the Summoned Beast is dead, and the other is if the Summoned Beast’s Divine Soul has been suppressed, making it unable to connect with the Summon Master," Qing Pu analyzed, "That Meat Worm is thick-skinned and well-fatted, it can’t possibly be dead. That leaves only one possibility—it has been subjected to the Spiritual Restriction Technique, and thus restrained. That Meat Worm is notoriously garrulous; if it fell into the hands of someone with an agenda, I’m afraid..."

"Find it and bring it back," Yue Jinghua didn’t say more, she vaulted over the city wall and set off.

Qing Pu smiled faintly, "It seems she is increasingly understanding the true essence of being a Summoner," considering Summoned Beasts akin to a Summoner’s private property.

The so-called relationship between a Summoner and their Summoned Beasts is one of mutual support and shared fate; the stronger the beast, the stronger the master. If the beast is bullied, then naturally, the master must stand up for it.

Midnight had passed, and Polo City turned into a dark silhouette behind Yue Jinghua.

In order to find the Gold Eater Worm, she had to start from where it was last settled.

That Meat Worm, born lazy, would definitely not have crawled too far off.

Landing without a sound, the moonlight was as bright as day. In the forest on the outskirts of Polo City, shadows shifted.

Night Traveling Dark Beasts roamed everywhere, but upon sensing the Holy Beast Star Pendant’s power on Yue Jinghua, they all scattered like birds and beasts.

After inspecting the area, there was no trace of the Meat Worm’s movements. The only clues were several clear tracks where the carts’ wheels had crushed the fallen leaves.

Heading towards Polo City. A hint of concern weighed on Yue Jinghua’s mind. Could it be that Polo City still harbored a troublesome figure capable of suppressing Ancient Insect Beasts?

"Ding ding dong dong," a clear and unusually pleasant sound magnified infinitely in the empty woodland, echoing.

After deploying the "Concealment" Dark Technique, Yue Jinghua’s figure swiftly blurred, cloaking herself next to an ancient tree.

Two figures, faster than the night wind, swept in from another side of the forest.

The two arrivals flashed like a blue bolt of lightning and a shooting aurora, as swift as two treasured swords, instantly invading the patch of forest where Yue Jinghua hid.

Over a sprint of several miles, the toes of these two individuals had not touched the ground even once.
