Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 537

[Chapter 537 Shadow]

Chapter 537 Shadow
“Looking at the temperament of this driver, he should be a combat profession…”

As for leaving the inner beast outside, it is a habit of many charioteers.

Some people are short of money and have no extra space for equipment.

Some let the inner beast protect themselves at all times.

However, when the two sides passed each other, Fang Xing still felt that his spirituality was touched.

‘How can an old one-eyed man show such rich emotions in his eyes?’

He thought about it and flicked his fingers lightly, and a little powder fell on the one-eyed old man’s body.

The rider always activates the protection of his natal heart beast and is very sensitive to foreign objects.

But ordinary heart beasts don’t have this problem.

It is inevitable that a wolf will get some dirt on his body.

The powder that Fang Xing ejected was not a toxin, it was just a kind of medicinal powder.

It just so happens that Erha has been trained during this period and is very sensitive to this smell.

This allows tracking.

…

Half a day later, watching the middle-aged driver walk into an inn, Fang Xing silently memorized his room number.

A few days later, he had a general idea of the other party: “Xia Feimang, a warrior rider, whose natal beast is a bug… He is also an expert at controlling all kinds of bugs, so it’s no wonder he was attracted by the fighting ability of the old one-eyed man. Will he keep him by his side after taming him?”

For the fighter pilots, most of the soldier-level pilots are in a very difficult situation.

This is true whether it is daily feeding, learning skills, or even the natural treasures invested during advancement.

There is no other way but to choose to specialize in insects.

Because insect-type heart beasts grow extremely fast and have low food requirements, they can be said to occupy a small half of the soldier-level controllers.

Of course, the rapid formation of combat power means a lack of follow-up strength, and the attack power of insect-like beasts has always been low.

In the later stage, it will either be abandoned or develop into toxins.

It is obvious that Xia Feimang is not prepared to devote himself to the insect-type path, and conquering the old one-eyed man is probably just an attempt.

“In short, it’s not very strong… but you can give it a try.”

…

Three days later.

Xia Feimang walked out of Lusen City and prepared to go to Qinglong Mountain.

Even if the consumption is small, the life of an insect driver is still very difficult. They need to accept various tasks, or go hunting and gathering…

And their gains were obviously not comparable to Fang Xing’s.

Beside Xia Feimang, the old one-eyed man was lazily following, alert to the surroundings from time to time.

Suddenly, it raised its head and looked at a man in black who suddenly appeared in front of it, with a hint of surprise on its wolf face.

“As expected… he is not the real old one-eyed man. His vigilance is too weak. For the beasts wandering in the wilderness, losing vigilance is equivalent to death…”

Fang Xing covered his face with a black cloth and looked at Xia Feimang.

“My friend…what are you going to do?”

Xia Feimang took a few steps back, and a black iron quality sacred book of the mind appeared in his hand.

After opening it, the three pages of the space book shone brightly, releasing three heart beasts, namely the upper-level soldier-level ‘Crazy Needle Bee’, the upper-level soldier-level ‘Soul-Loving Butterfly’, and the lower-level soldier-level ‘Hard-Horned Longicorn Beetle’…

“Three summoned beasts plus your natal beast and a one-eyed old wolf… a very standard five-type battle formation.”

Fang Xing lowered his voice and said with a hint of smile: “You are even poorer than I thought. Is that old one-eyed beast released into the outside world because there is no extra space in the Black Iron Scripture?”

As he spoke, the protective aura on his body grew stronger and stronger, as if it were real.

In his hand, a bronze holy book appeared: “Or, do you want to fight with me first and learn the way of fighting from me?”

“General level?”

Xia Feimang exclaimed and bowed quickly: “I have no intention of challenging you…”

In fact, if a fight really breaks out, he will find that the mysterious man in front of him is just a lame rider with a general-level heart beast.

Of course, that was also not something he could match.

The reason why the weak defeats the strong is praised is because it rarely happens.

Pah!
A purse was dropped on the ground, and the mouth of the purse opened, revealing the golden light inside.

“One hundred taels of gold…”

Fang Xing said, “I want to buy your old one-eyed one.”

“this……”

Xia Feimang looked at the wolf beast beside him and hesitated: “It’s just an old wolf…”

In fact, after spending some time together, he also discovered that this old one-eyed man was unusual.

Although some wolf beasts are not very proficient in their skills, they are very humane.

Over time, Xia Feimang began to regard the old one-eyed man as his true partner.

The old one-eyed man looked at the man in black in front of him with his only remaining eye, as if he remembered something. There was a hint of fear in his wolf eyes, and he bit the corner of the clothes of the chariot master beside him.

“You just need to answer me, yes or no?”

Fang Xing spoke in a dull voice, flipping the pages of the bronze scripture in his hand.

It seemed that in the next moment, a powerful general-level heart beast would jump out.

In fact, if Xia Feimang insisted, he would find that Fang Xing could only release a giant earth bear cub besides a black fire dog…

Of course, just Erha has the power to destroy all five soldier-level heart beasts on the opposite side.

If we compare purely based on the years of cultivation, it would take at least ten soldier-level or higher heart beasts to barely compete with Erha.

But if we add the quality gap, it will be an insurmountable chasm.

“I agree.”

Xia Feimang finally struggled to nod his head. He squatted down and stroked the old one-eyed man’s back: “My friend…you are free!”

After saying this, it was as if an invisible thread in his body had broken, and even his mental strength decreased.

After signing a contract with the heart beast, if you take the initiative to break it off, you will of course have to pay a certain price.

However, this price can be recovered through further cultivation in the future.

Compared to offending a powerful general-level controller and losing his life, one’s own life is naturally more important.

After losing his master, the old one-eyed cat seemed a little dull.

But the next moment, a stream of light enveloped it.

That was the bronze heart scripture in Fang Xing’s hand!
Compared to the Earth Violent Bear cub, the old one-eyed one was struggling a bit.

But it seemed that the disconnection just now had done great harm to its spirit. It was still in mental shock, and finally turned into a stream of light and fell on the bronze pages.

Next to a lifelike gray wolf, lines of text appeared:

Gray Wolf

【Old Age】

【Cultivation: Eight Years】

[Quality: Black Iron]

[Skills: Bite, Claw]

…

“It looks ordinary, is it an illusion?”

Fang Xing muttered to himself and looked at Xia Feimang.

“Sir, can I leave now?”

Xia Feimang stood up, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and asked.

“Okay, take the 100 taels of gold. That’s what you deserve.”

Fang Xing nodded and watched Xia Feimang leave.

He turned around and started running.

It wasn’t long before they entered a small forest.

This kind of place is not far from human gathering places, so it is unlikely that wild beasts will appear. There are only traces of ordinary wild beasts passing by.

At this time, he slapped the bronze heart scripture again and released the old one-eyed man.

The old one-eyed man was completely confused, and then he remembered to show his teeth.

“Ouch!”

At this moment, a stream of light flashed from Fang Xing’s body, and Erha jumped out.

Its three-meter-long body immediately made the old one-eyed man a little scared.

There was even a hint of shock in his eyes.

“Sure enough, you recognized the Black Fire Dog and guessed my identity…”

Fang Xing pulled the veil casually, revealing his true face: “And… your eyes have betrayed you. You are very powerful. You can actually avoid the appraisal of the Bronze Heart Sutra… But, I still need to confirm it.”

However, the old one-eyed man was still in a daze, as if he was frightened by the Husky.

“go!”

Fang Xing pointed casually, and the Husky pounced forward, bit the old one-eyed man’s neck, pressed him to the ground, exposing his belly.

Exposing vital parts without reservation is the dog’s way of expressing submission, even if it is forced.

“In that case…”

Fang Xing squatted down and put his palm on the old one-eyed man’s forehead: “I didn’t expect that the first alien beast I subdued would be you…”

Buzz!

A burst of light suddenly burst out from his eyes.

Then, using the power of the mind as a connection, he prepared to try to conclude a contract with this gray wolf!
No!
That’s not right!

With Fang Xing’s current mind, he can feel that the party who signed the contract is not the gray wolf in front of him.

It was the shadow of the Gray Wolf!
It was like a possessed being, controlling everything about the Gray Wolf.

But after feeling Fang Xing’s mental power, the shadow of the old wolf was immediately frightened and turned into the shadow of a person, surrounded by a circle of hazy gray mist.

“Ghost?!”

In Fang Xing’s mind, a very appropriate name suddenly emerged.

Then, his heart power spread, and he signed a contract with the ghost without any hesitation.

Boom!

In an instant, information about this ghost figure emerged in his mind:

【Ghost】

Childhood

【Cultivation: Eight Years】

【Quality: Emperor】

[Skills: Fraud, Ghost Possession]

…

“hiss……”

“An emperor-quality heart beast? No… this gray fog is somewhat familiar… are you the heart form of Fang Leng?”

Through mental communication, Fang Xing immediately understood.

Fang Leng was indeed dead, but his mental image was preserved, and with the help of special abilities, he possessed the gray wolf.

Because it was transformed from the other party’s mind, it retained some of Fang Leng’s memories, so when the old one-eyed man saw Fang Xing, his expression was so complicated…

“Back then, Dugufang of the Holy Heart Hall made a wrong appraisal… Fang Leng’s heart was not the rotten wood quality ‘Gray Mist’, but the emperor quality ‘Ghost Shadow’… Of course, this may not be the other party’s fault, because ‘Ghost Shadow’ is good at fraud and can even fool the appraisal of the Holy Heart Book…”

“I didn’t expect that I would encounter the rumor that after the death of those powerful riders, their natal beasts did not die with them, but instead turned into wild beasts…”

Fang Xing found out the truth about what happened that night three years ago from the ghost’s memory.

“That night, Fang Leng went out alone and encountered a heart beast, killing him with a wolf kiss… But although the ‘ghost shadow’ was only a heart image, it possessed special abilities. It did not perish with him. Instead, it used the ability of ‘ghost possession’ to possess the body of the old one-eyed man. In the past few years, it secretly absorbed the power of the heart and finally condensed into a heart beast… If it hadn’t met me, it might have grown into an extremely powerful heart beast and become the golden finger for Xia Feimang’s rise?”

“No, if Fang Leng had not gone out at the beginning, but accepted his fate, then in a few years… he would probably have discovered the secret of his own mind and risen up…”

“My brother’s heart image eventually became my wings? I didn’t expect Fang Leng, you really gave me a golden finger?”
