Die Jia stared at Lu Fei, and Lu Fei’s gaze unconsciously followed. The two looked at each other.
The Great Toad roared, “It’s you, kid! You made this toad bleed liters of blood! Where’s your chicken! Hurry and offer it up to be stewed and replenish this toad’s body!”
Lu Fei naturally couldn’t understand the language of contract beasts, but seeing the other party’s furious expression and muttering to himself, he knew without a doubt that they were politely greeting him…
But just because he couldn’t understand didn’t mean a certain chicken couldn’t…
Brother Chicken, who was inside the spatial ring, heard everything clearly… A huge commotion had occurred outside earlier, and Lu Fei immediately put Brother Chicken into the spatial ring, so it also arrived in this space.
Upon arriving, it glanced at the sky outside and, thinking it was night, continued to sleep. However, it was later woken by the sounds of fighting. The reason it hadn’t come out was because it felt this place was too terrifying.
Now, upon hearing someone wanted to stew it, it became even more cowardly!
It curled up in a corner, trembling.
But it still transmitted the Great Toad’s words to Lu Fei.
Hearing this, Lu Fei’s spine chilled. Although he didn’t know why the other party’s seven orifices were bleeding, recalling Brother Chicken shattering a bubble with a single slap, coupled with the other party’s current words, he had a pretty good idea. It was likely caused unintentionally by Brother Chicken…
The most awkward part was that he couldn’t explain anything because, in their eyes, humans couldn’t understand the words of contract beasts!
At this moment, Huangfu Chenyi spoke, “Die Jia, you can’t communicate with him, so what’s the use of questioning him?”
Die Jia was stunned, then said, “Huangfu, help me convey this: tell him that this toad wants to stew that chicken to replenish its body!”
Huangfu Chenyi smiled wryly and shook his head, but his expression slowly turned serious. “Right, I forgot to ask you last time, how did you suffer a backlash from a mere low-level fowl? Is your [Dreamy Bubble Mirage] ineffective against poultry?”
“Poultry? Who’s poultry?” Die Jia retorted.
Huangfu Chenyi patiently recounted what happened after it fainted that day.
After listening, Die Jia’s brows furrowed, and his lowered eyes became deeper.
After a long pause, it said indignantly:
“How would this toad know if [Dreamy Bubble Mirage] is effective against poultry? I’ve never tested it. Besides, does poultry deserve to be subjected to this toad’s attack?”
It shook its head, scoffing!
You clearly attacked Brother Chicken! And you’re bleeding from seven orifices! Lu Fei, hiding in a dark corner, silently complained.
“But no matter what, even if [Dreamy Bubble Mirage] is ineffective against poultry, at most it would just destroy the bubble, it couldn’t cause me to backlash! Unless…”
“Unless what?”
“Unless its soul is even stronger than mine!”
Huangfu Chenyi’s pupils constricted, and he then looked at Lu Fei, his voice stern, “Call out your chicken.”
His tone was resolute and commanding, allowing no room for doubt.
Here we go again, Lu Fei deeply resented Huangfu Chenyi’s capriciousness, thinking, Can’t you not be so fierce? Do you change your mind that quickly?
Lu Fei’s expression was solemn, and he transmitted to Brother Chicken in a low voice, “Brother Chicken! They’re specifically asking to see you!”
Brother Chicken replied, “Just say I’m not here!”
“They won’t believe you!”
“Then say you’ve already slaughtered and eaten it!”
Lu Fei’s eyes lit up, this plan could work!
Just as he was about to speak.
“I can already sense its aura, you don’t need to waste your time.”
Huangfu Chenyi poured a bucket of cold water on him.
Brother Chicken’s heart turned to ash, the entire chicken petrified…
After a long pause, it reluctantly emerged from the ring space.
Brother Chicken swayed its neck, looking left and right, then suddenly began to run aimlessly, occasionally crowing or pecking at the ground, its behavior exactly like a chicken!
Lu Fei glanced at it, feeling a bit unfamiliar…
This was Brother Chicken’s last struggle. As long as it acted convincingly enough, the other party wouldn’t suspect it!
Huangfu Chenyi and Die Jia observed for a while. Although this chicken’s behavior was a bit exaggerated, both in terms of combat power and habits, it was indeed a fowl.
Huangfu Chenyi flicked his finger, and a halo landed on Brother Chicken.
Brother Chicken was startled.
Hey… what is this colorful circle?
The next second, it felt a jolt of lightning pass through its body, and it immediately jumped up!
It let out a piercing scream, its feathers flying everywhere.
In just a moment, it fell to the ground, twitching its body…
Finally, it directly fainted.
Huangfu Chenyi and Die Jia exchanged glances, both shaking their heads.
If the other party’s soul were truly stronger than Die Jia’s, then such a minor mental attack would have had no effect.
However, their test was conducted subtly, giving the other party no chance to prepare, so the reactions displayed were the most genuine.
They found their own suspicion laughable. How could a rookie beastmaster possess a contract beast whose soul was stronger than Die Jia’s?
Although the question was answered, the mystery of why Die Jia suffered a backlash still loomed over their minds.
Just as they were puzzled.
Suddenly.
The surrounding space began to shake violently, even more so than when Die Jia had fought the black giant egg earlier!
Although the surrounding space remained pitch black, Lu Fei could clearly sense the entire altar tilting!
He quickly put Brother Chicken back into the spatial ring.
But he found it difficult to even stand.
“This space is about to collapse.”
Die Jia said gravely.
Huangfu Chenyi nodded in silence, casting a somewhat unwilling glance at the black giant egg on the altar.
“Will it appear here again next time?”
Die Jia shook his head, “This space was created by it. If this space collapses, it will create a new space. As for the specific location, we will likely have to search again.”
Huangfu Chenyi sighed.
“Let’s go.”
Lu Fei watched Huangfu Chenyi’s retreating back and quickly said, “Dad Huangfu! Take me with you!”
Huangfu Chenyi chuckled.
“Figure it out yourself.”
Saying that, he disappeared.
What struck Lu Fei with double the impact was that he lightly left behind a final sentence: “You’ve missed another opportunity. The next time we meet, I will be serious.”
Lu Fei was struck as if by lightning, standing stunned on the spot…
“I need to find a way to leave first!”
Lu Fei quickly recovered his senses. If he couldn’t overcome the current difficulty, let alone the next meeting!
But he was at a loss. He had been inexplicably brought to this space and had no idea how he got here, let alone how to leave!
He held his flashlight, looking left and right anxiously, his gaze finally resting on the altar.
Lu Fei stared at the black giant egg, “Could the mechanism be within this egg? If I rotate or move it, perhaps a door will appear?”
Lu Fei mused to himself.
Time was pressing.
Without any further hesitation, he rushed onto the altar!
