Lord of Favored Beasts

Autonomous Awakeners

Chapter 1: Purple Electric Dragon Eagles

    Passengers, welcome aboard the Grey Eagle floating ship, after a long journey of three days and three nights, we have arrived at the middle ring area of the endless sand domain, three hours away from our final destination Shanhai College, please make some preparations, I am Captain Deng Ban Ting ......

    The interior of the magnificent cabin, noisy sitting 20 to 30 people, looking at all 15 or 16-year-old boys and girls, is very lively.

    I've been waiting for this day!

    That's right, 12 years of diligent study and training, for what? Just want to open up the soul sea to become a master, wait a little more patiently, you will be able to realize your wish!

    Hey, what type of pet beast do you plan to contract? I have already made up my mind, non-Thunder attribute is not allowed, the most ideal one is of course Electric Rat!

    ......

    A young and still slightly young face, full of excitement and joy.

    Bai Wuyou watched them silently, a small smile of equal expectation flowing from the corners of his mouth.

    Turning his head, when he saw the young girl who was sleeping with his arm, Bai Wuyou sighed.

    Tiny, Tiny, wake up, you've been sleeping for half a day!

    Customarily knocked the young girl's black oily brain, white no injury rather helplessly said.

    Hmm?

    Probably the reason is just woke up, the young girl's face is still swirling with a faint blush.

    Her face is not stunning, but exquisite and small enough, a goose egg face, straight nose, red mouth, green hair naturally falling down the shoulders, like the image of the heart of the little sister next door.

    Is it time to stop? Mu Xiao Xiao rubbed the sleepy eyes, small mouth muttered, still some wake up breath.

    Almost there. Bai Wu Huan moved his stiff and numb arm while glancing at her with no good grace, If you continue to sleep, my arm will probably be ruined!

    Mu Xiao Xiao pouted, not thinking.

    People just dreamed of a fishbone bird, it's delicious ......

    Seeing that Bai Wuyuan is not paying attention to himself, Mu Xiaozi's eyes turned, ten fingers secretly on Bai Wuyuan's shoulders.

    Brother injury-free, let me give you a rub, okay? I've studied orthopedic massage, my technique is first-class!

    The first reaction of Bai Wuyou was that it was unreliable.

    Feel the two, the fruit of the pain grimaced, a push away Mu Xiao Xiao arm.

    No, no, no, you have this time to play around, why don't you think about how you should explain to your cousin when you get to the academy later?

    What to explain, I just do not want to go to the Green Luan Women's Institute, brother Tianxing in the Mountain and Sea Institute, brother Wuyuan you also go to the Mountain and Sea Institute, why should I go to the Green Luan Women's Institute alone! It's no fun at all!

    Mu Xiao Xiao is not pinching, but clutching the sleeve of Bai Wu Huan, said aggressively.

    Then you can't sneak out without a hello, right? The family must be worried to death ......

    Bai Wu Huan held his forehead and sighed.

    Don't look at Mu Xiao Xiao a harmless innocent look, the nature is naughty capricious very, from childhood to grow up not less trouble, even with the white no injury don't know how many black pot to help her.

    Just did not expect, this time to choose the pet beast cultivation college of life events, the family arranged a more suitable for her Green Luan Women's College, in advance to play a good variety of relationships, Mu Xiaoxiao novel not to go, but also secretly follow their own, on the floating ship to the Mountain Sea College.

    Mu Xiao has a cousin three years older than her called Mu Tianxing, is the eldest son of the current head of the Mu family, currently studying in the fourth year of Shanhai College.

    As far as I remember, Mu Tianxing had limited care for this cousin Mu Xiao Xiao. More, it was as stern as a loving father, treating with very high requirements in daily study, cultivation and work.

    This time, Mu Xiao Xiao changed colleges on her own capriciously, when Mu Tianxing knew about it, she would inevitably receive a scolding.

    Hee hee, we'll talk about it when the time comes, I'm here, brother Tianxing can't throw me back, right? Mu Xiao Xiao made a face towards Bai Wu Huan, honey confidence.

    Just when Bai Wuyou was planning to further educate Mu Xiao.

    The floating ship, which was moving steadily forward, suddenly trembled violently, causing countless people inside the ship to cry out in alarm.

    Look out the window, what's that?!

    Bai Wuxing looked at the sound, only to see that the azure sky, which was originally blazing with sunshine and cloudless, was dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye.

    In the distance, black clouds rolled in, covering half of the sky.

    A thick and incomparable bright purple lightning in the black clouds intertwined collision, like a snake devil crazy dance.

    The lightning roar, even through a thick layer of the ship board, still deafening and alarming.

    Thunderstorm weather?

    White no injury froze, then felt wrong, which has a dark cloud of lightning in just a few dozen seconds to form such a large.

    Chirp!

    Doomsday-like lightning black clouds, suddenly came a mournful to the utmost bird cry, a behemoth from which peeked out of the figure, scarlet eyes distantly looking at this side of the floating ship.

    By the lightning flicker a moment, white no injury to see the full face of the monster, the body immediately froze, as if the whole person lost his soul, a motionless.

    That is a huge raptor, dragon head bird body, wingspan of hundreds of meters, but there is not a feather on the body, covered with purple dragon scales.

    The scales were like metal poured out, filled with a shocking sense of beauty and power.

    Its head resembles that of the legendary dragon, with a pair of golden backward winding horns, noble and holy;

    beak is a curved beak, black and sharp, several meters long, still stained with the blood of fierce beasts, apparently just fought with something; What's even more terrifying is its claws, thick like a bull, sharp as a knife, cold light, must be able to easily tear the defensive deck of the floating ship!

    Purple ...... Purple ...... Purple Electric Dragon Eagle? Mu Xiao swallowed his saliva and muttered, How is it possible for a monster of this level to appear here ......

    Its mood does not seem to be right, look at its eyes, bright red like blood, clearly in a state of rage, what has happened to make it so crazy that it did not hesitate to go far from the nest to this barren desert ...... Bai Wuyou forced himself to calm down, a simple analysis The first thing you can do is to take a look at the situation.

    Obviously, the furious purple electric dragon eagle noticed the distant size of the floating ship smaller than it, bright red pupils full of disgust, purple scaled wings flapped hard, like a lightning dive over.

    Everyone, sit in place, defense systems on full blast, activate extreme overload mode!

    The captain's calm voice was heard over the radio, followed by the rapid deflection of the bow of the ship, which shot out in the opposite direction as fast as possible.

    The floating ship that Bai Wuyou and Mu Xiao Xiao are riding on is the latest model configured by the Shanhai Academy, with sufficient power, generally speaking, it is comparable to most full-bodied level flying transcendent beings, and the safety factor is extremely high in the outer ring and even the middle ring of the Endless Sand Domain.

    However, the size of this purple electric dragon eagle is too terrifying, it is likely to be a monster of the inquisitive body stage!

    Seeing the purple electric dragon eagle that huge and hideous body closer and closer, everyone in the cabin could not sit still, and even some timid girls cried out at once.

    Hiss!

    The sharp, flickering wings of demonic purple lightning, like a supreme sword, split the floating ship in two.

    In the light of day, Bai Wujian only had time to pounce on Mu Xiao Xiao, hoping to give her a little extra protection.

    Then, a spinning of the sky and a lull in consciousness.

Chapter 2: Spell of Divine Guardianship

    Bai Wu Huan is having a long dream.

    He dreamed that a man named Qin Long originally lived in a world called Blue Star, where there were no monsters, no strife, and world peace.

    As a program ape, he lives a humdrum and fulfilling 997 life every day.

    Until one day, Qin Long stayed overnight for two days and nights to fix a game called God Eater vulnerability, but because of excessive exhaustion, never woke up.

    However, he is not dead, but as a strange soul body floating in the void rift, muddled with the waves.

    I don't know how long it took, maybe a year, or maybe hundreds of years, a light appeared in front of me.

    Through the light, Qin Long saw a fallen in the pile of rocks, dripping blood from the young boy, his breath is weak, it seems that he will not survive.

    A wonderful feeling surfaced in his heart, like a magnet deeply attracted Qin Long, his soul subconsciously drifted to the teenager's brain ......

    No! No!

    White no injury awakened with horror, that blood-soaked young man, is not his own appearance?

    Brother Woundless! Brother Woundless!

    The familiar voice of Mu Xiao Xiao suddenly sounded in his ears, his voice trembling, with a clear crying voice.

    I can't die yet, how can I die ......

    With a strong desire to live, Bai Wuyou's hazy spiritual body revived, and the first time he noticed the presence of another soul in his mind that was gradually seizing control of his body.

    Crossing ...... possession ...... reborn ......

    The consciousness popped up these few words just learned, white no injury chills through the soles of the feet.

    Perhaps floating in the void for too long, the soul body belonging to Qin Long is obviously more powerful, Bai Wuxiang tried to struggle a few times, always falling behind, constantly being nibbled.

    Bai Wuxiang knew that when his soul body was all eaten the moment, he was really finished!

    Even if I die, I don't want another person to occupy my body and live this life for me ......

    The illusory soul clenched its fists, and after a slight hesitation, Bai Wuxiang rushed towards the heart of the body.

    Recall the first half of your life.

    Sixteen years ago, Bai Wu Huan was born in a small wilderness village and lived a happy and harmonious little life of mediocrity until the age of six.

    Until one day at the age of six, the sky fell, the princess of the Abyssal Blood Clan awakened from an ice coffin 30,000 years ago and needed a large number of virgin boys and girls to replenish her qi and blood.

    In order to please the princess, the blood vassals have slaughtered a large number of surrounding villages and towns, and all children of school age are their targets, and the small village where Bai Wuxiang is located is one of them.

    As a young boy, he watched his parents being brutally murdered to save themselves, and that sense of powerlessness still hangs in his mind, not to be forgotten.

    Very fortunately, just as the blood princess bite open their own throats, sucking blood, the legions of angels belonging to the Holy Court, using space tunnels to teleport, led by the six-winged guardian of the Holy Angels - Asphodel successfully repelled the blood, and incidentally saved himself.

    Small life is saved, but this blood princess is too big, she is one of the oldest blood members of the ancient times, on the noble bloodline, the world is rarely equaled.

    Her saliva naturally carries the most extreme and vicious ancient blood poison, and there is no way to avoid it because Bai Wu Huan has been bitten.

    This blood poison is extremely domineering, rooted deep in the human body constantly sucking life essence, and when the time is ripe, it will break out of the body and bloom a six-petal blood flower.

    Between the time, the soul is scattered, the bones of the body.

    Even the legendary level six-winged guardian holy angels can't eradicate this ancient blood poison!

    The benevolent Lord Asphodel, unwilling to see a young life die in pain, spent his energy casting five spells of divine guardianship to help Bai Wu Huan seal the blood poison deep in his heart, which has survived to this day.

    Lord Aspold had warned him that the spell of guardianship was not a fundamental solution and would protect him for at most fifteen years before the power was depleted.

    Right now, Bai Wuyou is facing a life-and-death crisis of his soul body being devoured, he has no time to think about what will happen five years later, and only wants to resist.

    This guardianship spell may be his silver lining!

    The blood-red heart pounded.

    Soul body state, white no injury clearly see, deep in the heart there is a circular light curtain cage, cage inside a red liquid slowly flowing, permeated with endless morbid and evil.

    Seemingly sensing the approach of Bai Wuxiang's consciousness body, the mass of red liquid suddenly turned into a blood-striped python, hissing and spitting snake letters, greed, desire, hatred of color, in the dark golden vertical pupils undisguised.

    Buzz!

    Two talismans inscribed with golden inscriptions quietly emerged and turned into golden chains running through the torso of the bloodline python.

    The blood-striped python screamed miserably, and the next moment it exploded like a bubble, turning back into a red liquid that flowed slowly in the cage.

    The soul gently touches the two golden talismans, which are the most fundamental core power of the guardianship spell, originally a total of five, after ten years of natural attrition, only two are left.

    Whether you live or die, it's up to you!

    Bai Wu Huan concentrated all his willpower and took the initiative to detonate a Holy Guardian spell inside his body.

    ......

    Outside.

    It was nearing evening and the sun was about to fade to its last rays.

    This seems to be some valley in the desert, the ground is full of large and small sand and gravel, and there are many fragments and body limbs from the disintegration of the floating ship, which looks shocking to the eyes.

    Bai Wu Huan is lying on his back on the ground, blood can not stop flowing out from all corners of his body.

    Mu Xiao shook him with teary eyes, calling out Bai Wuyou's name over and over again, trying to wake him up.

    Suddenly, golden points of light were dense and permeated out of Bai Wuxiang's body, repeatedly rushing inside and out.

    Those hideous wounds on his body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon resumed healing.

    Hoo ...... Hoo ......

    Bai Wuxiang sat up violently, his gaze dull.

    Great, Brother Woundless you've woken up, I was so afraid I'd never see you again! Mu Xiao Xiao excitedly jumped into his arms, whimpering and crying out.

    I ......

    Bai Wuxiang froze, turned awake and hurriedly checked his condition.

    In addition to the clothes torn unlike anything else, the surface of the body did not even leave a scar, healthy can not be healthy.

    Obviously, it is now my own consciousness body that is in control of the physical body, and everything is back to normal, so where did that guy named Qin Long go?

    Many ideas came to mind, originally Bai Wujian's idea was that the Holy Guardian incantation has amazing purifying energy and healing ability, which is the nemesis of evil forces, consuming a spell seal in the body detonation, may be able to expel Qin Long.

    There may be some risk, but at the time there was no choice but to give it a shot.

    Huh?

    Bai Wuxiang was surprised to find that a transparent crystal was hovering in his mind, dripping and spinning.

    His intuition told him that it was the crystallization of the remaining soul essence condensed after the complete demise of Qin Long's subjective consciousness body.

    It was like a freshly baked cake with a tempting aroma that captivated the attention of Bai Wuyou ......

Chapter 3: Soul Awakening, Book of Oaths

    Boom a light sound, the soul crystals were poked by white injury-free.

    It's like planting a seed in the dirt, the seed experienced breaking ground, taking root, sprouting and finally growing into a gigantic tree in a very short period of time ...... White No Harm's soul power skyrocketed at a terrifying rate, and every cell in his body was cheering.

    The original boundless sea of consciousness space full of gray fog, suddenly appeared a small black sun, coiled in the center, is turning in place at a slow, regular speed.

    Soul power vortex? Is this ...... my awakened soul power?

    Bai Wuyou remembered what he had learned in class and still couldn't believe it.

    According to the normal process, the Preparatory Royal Lord cannot rely on himself to achieve soul power awakening, he must wait until he is sixteen years old, assisted by a specific awakening formation, in order to successfully open up the space of the sea of consciousness, so as to condense the soul power vortex and possess soul power.

    Soul power is a symbol of the status of the official royal master!

    This world, originating from transcendental beings.

    Insects, orcs, witches, goblins, angels, demons, blood, giants, ghosts ...... countless races, endless branches, infinite mysteries, creating this vast world of the weak and the strong.

    The human race is weak, only a small group of people with soul talent, once successfully awakened, will have an unparalleled powerful ability - and transcendent creatures signed a pet contract, to drive them to fight for themselves!

    Acquire, cultivate, fight, advance, evolve ...... imperial master just keep climbing, keep moving forward, the human race was able to occupy a place on the stage of the transcendent world!

    Any child, from memory, the most eager, the most innocent wish is to awaken the soul power, contract pet beasts.

    From this moment on, Bai Wuyou has crossed that dividing line between mortal and divine, stepping into the starting point of another world, emotions inevitably some trance.

    I remember the books mentioned that the autonomous awakened is also known as the innate imperial master, very rare, the probability is about one in ten thousand of the ordinary preparatory imperial master, with my original natural talent is certainly not possible, could it be because of devouring and fusing the soul essence left by Qin Long, causing me to bend and break through that critical line?

    White no injury silently thought, turned a little worried: just do not know such a way, will not leave any after-effects, do not therefore more than worth the loss ah ......

    Looking down at himself, Bai Wuxiang was shocked to find that his body seemed to have undergone some changes because of the awakening of his soul power, his original body of one meter seventy-eight felt taller, his shoulders were a few points wider, and the surface of his skin had an additional layer of lustrous luster.

    The most conspicuous thing is that, on the right side of his body, suspended in the air a dictionary-like book, ancient in color, the whole body is engraved with arcane and ancient patterns, the size and thickness is far more exaggerated than the average book.

    If there was still some unreal feeling before, now after seeing this slightly mysterious glowing book, Bai Wuyou finally believed the truth.

    This is the Book of Oaths, also known as the Book of Contracts, a special energy body condensed from soul power and flesh and blood essence, not substance.

    It is the credential of the identity of the royal master and automatically coalesces after awakening the soul power.

    Its main function is to give the user the ability to contract, through which he or she can enter into a pet contract with a transcendent being.

    At the same time, the Book of Oaths has a built-in independent living space that can accommodate the residence of the contracted pet animals.

    The book of vows? Brother Woundless, how did you ...... you become a Royal Lord?

    Mu Xiao Xiao looked at the book dumbfounded, the small mouth surprised to be able to stuff an egg.

    After thinking in silence, Bai Wuxiang decided to keep the matter of Qin Long rotten in his heart, no one can say.

    This matter is too fantastic, there are actually other parallel worlds outside the Transcendental Plane, completely overturning people's imagination, but any leakage of any information will lead to heavenly trouble, which is not good for yourself or your friends.

    So, Bai Wuyou directly blurred out the part of the travellers, simply explaining that he took the desperate step of activating a divine guardian spell in order to survive, and as a result, the guardian spell not only healed his body, but also seemed to trigger a chain reaction that accidentally led to the active awakening of his soul power.

    Ah! Then isn't your life expectancy another cut short? Mu Xiao Xiao's face was bitter and sullen.

    The things that happened in Bai Wujian's childhood are known to people up and down the Mu family who are familiar with him, including, naturally, Mu Xiao.

    If there is only one guardianship spell left, it will probably last three years ...... By the time the seal breaks, the blood poison will come rolling back ......

    White no injury muttered: But ah, I will not give up easily, from today, I will work harder, until the last moment, never respect the fate ......

    Mu Xiao was silent for a while and opened her mouth to change the subject:

    If you have awakened autonomously, you are now at the peak of the Spiritualist level?

    I remember grandfather said, through the formation assisted awakening of the imperial master, will be the past sixteen years within the natural accumulation of spiritual power into soul power, the initial soul power depends on the different accumulation of each person, will be in the spirit of the early stage, the middle, late stage between the three zones. While the independent awakening of the imperial master, the initial soul power directly to the peak of the Spiritualist level, the starting point than others, can save a lot of cultivation time ......

    Of course, this alone is not enough to set off the rarity and power of the Autonomous Awakening, the most precious thing is that the Autonomous Awakening has an additional, opportunity to summon the native pet beast!

    The native pet beast well ...... white no injury whispered, suddenly looked up at the sky and frowned.

    At this time the sky has been completely dark, the moon hanging in the sky, the sky is full of stars by the heavy clouds obscured most of.

    After becoming a Spiritualist level peak imperial master, both physical quality and perceptive ability, Bai Wuxiang has qualitatively improved, and the burst of unknown hissing sounds coming from his ears made his sense of vigilance instantly pull full.

    Little, the native summoning is said to be carried out with full concentration, allowing no distraction, you see now it is dark, the wilderness of the mountains will inevitably be something out for food ...... we better first find a safe place to hide, and then consider the next step.

    Good! Mu Xiao Xiao obediently nodded, slender fingers and pointed to his neck, said: But in case of danger, you do not always protect me first ah, I have at least a family protective jade pendant.

    Bai Wuyou saw that the lotus flower jade pendant with a light green luster had a visible crack.

    We just fell from a high altitude and the jade pendant triggered automatically, but it could only protect me, so I was unharmed.

    Mu Xiao Xiao while whispering, while tugging hard on the corner of Bai Wu Huan's tattered clothes, the bottom of his eyes seem to have tears again: Everyone else probably died a horrible death ...... When I saw that you were also bloody, I was really scared to death ......

    Okay, okay, it's okay.

    Bai Wuyou patted Mu Xiao's head dotingly, his gaze gentle, while his heart was somewhat touched.

    Since the calamitous incident at the age of six, Bai Wu Huan, who had nothing to rely on anymore, had been adopted by a woman.

    But that woman is not very reliable, it did not take long to lose him to the Mu family, Bai Wuyuan six years old to sixteen years old this decade, most of the time is spent in the Mu family compound, barely half of the Mu family children.

    Mu Xiao Xiao is a direct member of the younger generation of the Mu family, but unfortunately, the talent is general, but also some playful and capricious, in several siblings do not stand out.

    She and white no injury is a piece of play to grow up, the relationship between the two is very close, white no injury has been taking care of her as a close sister.

    Slightly shook his head, white no injury will be those warm feelings for the time being out of the head, right now the important thing first.

    Through the hazy moonlight, he buckled in the wreckage of the floating ship search, pouring out two one-meter-long, three-finger-thin metal stick, and Mu Xiao one, as a temporary weapon.

    The current physical quality of Bai Wuyou can be comparable to that of a regular early to mid-larvae transcendent creature, but Bai Wuyou knows that the wilderness is a place full of variables, and his own practical combat ability is lacking, so he does not dare to have the slightest carelessness.

    Be careful, you stay close to me.

    White no injury holding a simple torch just lit, holding Mu Xiao Xiao's hand, towards the unknown darkness to explore.

    ......

Chapter 4: Hungry Zombies

    The night is already as thick as ink.

    The road in the valley is not good, even if the empty without any tree cover, but the terrain is naturally complex, everywhere is winding branch lines, a little inattention will be lost.

    Ear those strange hissing sound more and more, white no injury for a moment can not tell what it is, in the spirit of caution, intend to find a low cave, first to settle for the night.

    As long as you can survive the night, to the day, the view is more open, looking for a way out to be sure.

    Brother Harmless, the floating ship wrecked, those sitting on it are all reserve imperial masters who have already passed the initial screening, the Shanhai Academy shouldn't care, right?

    Mu Xiao Xiao subconsciously want to find some topics and white no injury chat, she is the first time out of the house, at this time the night is late, dark visibility is extremely low, the heart is inevitably some beware.

    Well, the reserve imperial master where are strategic resources, this time so many dead, the Shanhai Academy must send people to find out what is going on, just do not know if this matter can be found in time ...... theoretically floating ship is a signal locator ... ...

    After thinking about it, Bai Wuyou continued:

    But we still have to be prepared for both, we can't pin all our hopes on the rescue of the college, we have to try to find a way out of the situation ourselves.

    Mu Xiao Xiao beamed her little mouth to say something.

    In order to sneak out, she went to a lot of trouble to trick the pestering personal guards away, but she didn't expect to be in this situation in the blink of an eye.

    Am I being too capricious ...... Mu Xiao blamed herself in her heart and silently reflected.

    Snapper - snapper -

    Just around the corner ahead, suddenly came the sound of someone walking, from far to close, very abrupt in the silent night.

    Bai Wuyuan stopped walking, quickly pressed the fire handle, pulling Mu Xiao Xiao leaned against the side of the wall, the two held their breath.

    Could there be survivors?

    White no injury thoughts turn over, listen carefully and then feel not quite like, the other side walking sound too strange, like a limp, wobbling aimlessly, and from time to time will hit the wall.

    However, the direction he was moving forward remained unchanged, and the position of the white uninjured Mu Xiao was getting closer and closer.

    Bai Wu Huan raised the metal stick in his hand quietly, veins bulging on his wrist, ready to smash down vigorously.

    In the darkness, a tall, thin figure was reflected in the eyes of Bai Wuyou.

    He was dressed in shabby ancient clothes, while his arms were gathered in fat sleeves, looking rather awkward.

    Disgusting is that he seems to have never bathed, dirty head and face can not see the real face, all over the body emitting the general stench of dead fish.

    A message suddenly popped up in the pupil -

【Name】：Hungry Zombie (Wild)

【Race】：Underworld-zombie type-dead corpse race

    [Life Level]: Early Euphorbia

    [Bloodline quality]: 1 star of mortal bone level

【Status】：Hungry

【Wisdom】：Very low

【Features】：Dark Adaptation/Infection

【Skills】：Corpse claws, gnawing

【Gourmet Cell】：1

    What is this?!

    Bai Wuxiang's eyes widened, his expression surprised to the extreme.

    Seemingly smelling something, the figure in the darkness stopped in his tracks and jerked his head around.

    Ah!

    Mu Xiao Xiao let out a scream and was scared out of her wits.

    The dim moonlight exposed a blood-stained, severely decayed face, five extremely distorted horror of the human face, and vaguely visible several fat white maggots crawling in and out of the face, playing.

    Stiff ...... stiff ...... zombie ...... Mu Xiao pointed at the monster, his hand was shaking, simply can not hold metal stick.

    Roar!

    The zombie's glazed eyes are happy to fall out, so fine skinned ingredients do not know how long not touched, excitedly low roar, open a bloody mouth with long thin fangs on the desire to pounce.

    Dang!

    White no longer hesitate, a fierce stick smashed in the head of the hungry zombie, white and red splattered all over the ground.

    The power of Bai Wuxiang is now as different as it was a day ago.

    The unrelenting smash directly caused the zombie to fall to the ground, legs and feet jerked, and then completely immobilized.

    [Hunting Success, Food Cell +1]

    A line of tiny red letters crossed the bottom of the eye as if it were a bullet.

    Bai Wuxiang shook his head to make sure it was not an illusion, forcibly suppressing the confusion in his heart, his gaze turned to Mu Xiao Xiao.

    No injuries, right?

    It's okay ......

    Mu Xiao shook his head, some shocked, more a kind of shame.

    She is at least a disciple of a big clan, and when she comes back to her senses, she naturally understands that this is a lowest and most trashy hungry zombie, even if it is only a reserve imperial master, it is easy to win in a one-on-one situation, and she should not be scared like this, not even having the courage to face it directly.

    White no injury can vaguely perceive Mu Xiao Xiao's thoughts, he has experienced life and death many times, is considered a deep experience, so the face of unfamiliar dangers will be a little more relaxed, not to confuse themselves.

    Mu Xiao Xiao and he is different, she is with half a golden spoon to grow up, before that it is difficult to experience this kind of fear and despair between life and death, a time will inevitably be hit.

    Bai Wuyuan rubbed Mu Xiao's head, did not say anything more, he can not always shelter in Mu Xiao's side, also need her own growth.

    ......

    Relight the torches and continue on your way.

    This time, Bai Wuyou was not going to extinguish it.

    Just now is not understand the situation, mistaken for a real person, in the spirit of caution, first extinguished the torch.

    When walking all the way, and killed a few scattered zombies, white heart began to have a number, this valley is estimated to be a zombie valley, nothing birds and beasts, only zombies, no wonder all the way to the dead, can not find any living things.

    Transcendent creatures like zombies, especially the lowest class of hungry zombies, actually have no vision despite their creepy green pupils, and they rely on smell and hearing for their activities.

    They are afraid of sunlight and equally afraid of fire, so they will only come out at night, and the darker the night, the more active they are. When it is bright, they will hide underground or in caves to sleep until they come out again the next night to feed.

    Finally, white injury found a suitable cave, the two moved a few large stones to block the mouth of the cave, leaving only a slight gap for ventilation, along with the observation of the outside world.

    Phew, almost almost early in the morning, that is the most active point of time for zombies, fortunately we found a place to stay, otherwise we will have to face hordes of hungry zombies, and there may even be powerful zombies of higher levels, it's too dangerous and full of variables out there!

    White no injury straight stretch a lazy, slightly lazy lie down on the dry ground, next to two special simple torches, warm and comfortable.

    Yeah, it's been a fantastic day ......

    Mu Xiao Xiao closed clothes leaning next to the white no injury, eyes dully looking at the stone wall overhead, small face is full of tired look.

    Get some sleep, don't be a hero, I'll keep watch.

    Bai Wu Huan just rested a little, then sat up again and said, You are not yet an imperial master, your physical fitness is not as good as mine, and your emotions have been tight all day, you would have been tired long ago, right?

    Mu Xiao opened her mouth, but was unable to refute, could only respond, turned her head to sleep.

    Sitting cross-legged next to the flames, Bai Wuxiang's thoughts drifted and he seriously considered some questions.

    That attribute panel, what exactly is it?

Chapter 5: Golden knife and silver fork, the altar of the god of food

    After living for sixteen years, I have never heard of anyone who has such a strange ability that is more powerful than the legendary Great Appraisal Technique ......

    Before entering the cave, Bai Wuyou tested several times without moving, and as long as his gaze was directed at any zombie within 10 meters, a detailed attribute panel would be reflected in his pupils.

    What is even more bizarre is that a mysterious pattern of a golden knife and silver fork appeared out of nowhere on the back of his right hand.

    White no harm to take Mu Xiao Xiao to do the test, found that she can not see the pattern at all, it seems that only they can see.

    What the hell is this?

    White no injury stares at the hand back of the golden knife and silver fork, eyes pensive.

    Watching, there was a sudden disembodied voice in the ear -

    Does it open the altar of the God of Food?

    White injury-free jumped, looking left and right, everything was normal, there was nothing wrong.

    Does it open the altar of the God of Food?

    The sound rang out once again, and Bai Wuyou carefully identified the source, and found that it seemed to be the sound transmitted by the golden knife and silver fork.

    Altar of Gusteau ...... Gusteau ......

    Bai Wuyou chewed this inexplicably familiar word twice and woke up with a jolt: Before Qin Long died, it seems he was fixing a game vulnerability called 'God Eater' ......

    It can't be ...... difficult, just like in Qin Long's memory, every Blue Star travellers come with their own golden fingers, only it originally belonged to Qin Long, and now it was intercepted by me?

    Bai Wuyou's heart was thumping with mixed feelings of joy and surprise.

    Efforts to take two deep breaths to calm down, Bai Wuxiang kept telling himself to be calm and collected when things go wrong, never act blindly.

    He raised his head and observed, confirming that Mu Xiao had fallen into a deep sleep and would not wake up anytime soon.

    Afterwards, Bai Wuxing crept to the cave entrance and took a moment to glance at the outside world. Occasionally a few hungry zombies would pass by, but none of them noticed the hidden cave.

    After confirming that it was safe, Bai Wuyou's gaze refocused on the golden sword and silver fork pattern.

    Does it open the altar of the God of Eating?

    Yes ......, Bai Wuyou read silently in his mind.

    Endless darkness wrapped itself around like a tidal wave, and suddenly nothing could be seen.

    The next second, a bright light, Bai Wuyou found himself in an abandoned palace, the ground is messy, all across the broken stone pillars, surrounded by the walls are also cracks everywhere, I do not know what kind of ancient past.

    This abandoned palace covers an area of about three hundred square meters, the overall appearance of a regular circle, the outermost surrounded by thirteen pure black statues, there are humanoid, there are full of limbs like worms, and even the shape of the dragon, in short, are strange forms.

    After scanning around, Bai Wuyou's gaze looked towards the very center of the palace.

    There, stands a large bronze square tripod, rusty and full of the mottled sense of age.

    Just as Bai Wuxiang was about to approach the bronze censer for a closer look, he suddenly sensed something different about himself.

    Why is the body so light ......

    Looking down, his own body was actually translucent.

    Kneading the arms and thighs still possesses a substantial touch, but loses the sense of pain.

    This is most likely not my original body, but my consciousness or spiritual body kind of entered this space, how do I get out?

    Such a thought just popped up in his mind, and Bai Wuxiang's eyes opened directly from the real world with a black light.

    Looking around, there is almost no change around the body, indicating that the flow of time and the outside world is about the same.

    Confirming this, he entered the God Eater altar once again and arrived at the very center of the abandoned palace.

    Looking at the bronze tripod, Bai Wuyou found that the height of the tripod was equal to his height, with two ears and four feet, and the shape was simple and solemn.

    On the outside of that greenish-gray tripod, branded with a miniature engraved picture, there are three-legged golden crows that cover the sky, earthly pythons that coiled a whole divine mountain, and ancient giants with fifty heads and a hundred arms ...... numbering in the thousands, all without exception, are creatures of myth and legend.

    What kind of tripod is this? It looks so ancient and mysterious ......

    Bai Wuyou circled around and found nothing more, so he tried to stand on his tiptoes and look inside the tripod.

    Inside the tripod is pitch black, distorting all the light, Bai Wuxiang looked left and right but could not see anything.

    After staring for a long time, there was even a feeling of palpitations, as if the dark and deep tripod was a bottomless abyss that would appear in the next second with a bloody mouth to devour him, scaring Bai Wuyou to withdraw his gaze.

    Obviously, this bronze square censer placed in the very center of the God Eater altar must be the most important item, what is its use? And how do I activate it, or how do I use it?

    After hesitating for a while, Bai Wuxiang, who could not find a thought, tentatively touched the body of the tripod with his finger.

    It was completely different from the cold metal texture as expected, the body of the tripod was actually very hot and scalding, like it had just been burnt by flames.

    Seems to have triggered some change, the bronze censer began to rumble and tremble, the movement is getting louder and louder, the whole palace began to shake.

    With a shock, Bai Wuyou wanted to release his fingers.

    Who expected that a huge suction force came from the body of the tripod, and even Bai Wuyun's entire right palm was firmly attached to the bronze tripod, no matter how hard he struggled, he could not get away.

    [Troubleshooting ...... original holder Qin Long died ...... trigger re-binding ......]

    [Target Certification ...... White without injury ...... Judgment Result ...... The only host of this altar ......]

    [The altar of the God of Food is being activated ......30% ......60% ......100% ...... activation complete!

    The bottom of the eye floats through line after line of small words, white no injury froze, the brain is a little down.

    Is this the ...... system? Or is it something else?

    Having had the experience of Qin Long's life, Bai Wuyou quickly came back from his surprise.

    The suction between the palms of the hands has disappeared, Bai Wuxiang draws back his right hand, and instead sees a seven-colored flame, from the depths of the black censer, the stream of light, the entire abandoned palace reflected as gorgeous as a dream.

    [Determine that the current host is the first time to activate the altar, trigger the extra reward - Gift of the God of Food, get the first-order God of Food treasure box *1]

    A book bag size, shimmering white porcelain like clean luster of the treasure box, out of thin air from the colorful flame, suspended in the air.

    Gusteau treasure box? Is this meant to be a lottery?

    Doubt just bubbled up, the small print in the eyes of Bai Wuyou changed immediately::

【Tip: God of Food Treasure Box, built-in God of Food special items, can assist the host's growth】.

    The higher the level, the rarer the proceeds.

    [First-order Food God treasure chest item extraction rate - 98.9% for extraordinary recipes, 1% for food god props, 0.1% for food mysteries]

    So amazing, this thing seems to have insight into my thoughts and answer questions directly ......

    Thinking of this, Bai Wuyou tried to cry out in his heart, saying

    Hello, what should I call you? System? God of Food? Or should I call you something?

Chapter 6: First Draw

    In the abandoned palace, Bai Wuxiang waited for a minute or two and got no response.

    It looks like this altar of eclipse is not artificial intelligence, it's too dull and can only answer specific questions ......

    Bai Wuyou pondered silently, and shook his head with a smile, secretly saying:

    Forget it, I have experienced the travellers this file, the three views have long been broken, so do not dig into the bottom to pursue what the truth.

    Now I just need to figure out what the altar of the God of Eating can get me. What kind of help can it give me?

    Let's say, this First Order Eater Treasure Chest, what are the Transcendent Recipes, Eater Props, and Eater Mysteries inside it, respectively?

【Tip: Transcendental recipes, top gourmet recipes created by the God of Food, only for transcendental creatures, efficacy covers healing and recovery, advancement and evolution, genetic mutation, physique enhancement, ability enhancement, beauty and hairdressing, etc., will assist the host to cultivate the most powerful pet animals.

    [God Eater Props: Special items containing the power of God Eater, mostly disposable consumables].

    [Food Mystery Technique: A mysterious skill created by the God of Food, the host can obtain special handling ability of ingredients after mastering it.]

    Three small lines of text emerge one after another.

    Bai Wuyou gradually adapted to this mode of communication, and after carefully reading it, he pressed his heart's questions and decided to open the treasure chest first to see for himself.

    Reaching out to grab the seven-colored flame, the flame is not hot.

    The white porcelain-like exquisite eclipse treasure box fell into the hands, the texture of cold, silky smooth, can not distinguish what material.

    Without hesitation, Bai Wu Huan directly lifted the lid.

    A brilliant flash of light pierced his eyes for two or three seconds.

    What could it be?

    With this expectation, Bai Wuxiang refocused his attention and fixed his eyes on it.

    In the treasure chest, there is only one page of yellowing parchment.

    Bai Wuyou picked it up and found that it was written with dense golden characters that were completely unreadable.

    Doubtful thoughts just bubbled up, and the yellowed parchment suddenly disappeared.

    At the same time, Bai Wu Huan felt a slight tingling in his brain, as if enlightened by the emergence of a message -

【Recipe】：Mouse of Temptation

【Materials】: 1 fresh rat corpse (any species/mid-juvenile/dead within three hours with high corpse integrity) + 10 grams of ink bamboo leaves + 5 phantom grass plants + 1 bewitching flower + 300 ml of water + Soul power of late spirit level and above 【Procedure】: The rat carcass is gutted and washed, the rat's belly is stuffed with ink bamboo leaves and then simply stitched up → the phantom grass and the bewitching flowers are all crushed and thrown into a pot of cold water and stirred evenly until purplish red → the rat carcass is added to the pot and cooked on low heat, during which soul power is continuously injected and ceasefire is removed from the pot after the juice is completely collected.

【Description】: Tongue-lickingly delicious, fatally attractive to hatchling-level snake creatures, with specific effects referring to the actual completion of the recipe.

    This is the Transcendental Cookbook?

    Bai Wuyou froze and looked back at the paragraph, somewhat dazed.

    It seems that the recipe recipe called Rat of Temptation has a simple effect of trapping snake creatures.

    In the Transcendental World, whether it is a series of sub-professions such as medicine refiner, alchemist, talisman maker, array maker, etc., or a variety of natural ecology of heavenly materials, fruits and medicinal stones, all have the potential to achieve similar effects.

    However, this special recipe, which resembles human dishes, has strict requirements for ingredients and processes, but is only for transcendent creatures, is the first time Bai Wuyou has heard of it.

    If it's really like the introduction says, there are transcendent recipes for advancement, evolution, mutation and other effects, then this might be a whole new genre of feeding ...... a treasure of wealth that belongs only to me ......

    Thinking about this, Bai Wu Huan's body was trembling and every cell was excited.

    His quest in life is simple, get stronger and stay alive.

    Only the strong have the ability to dominate their own destiny, rather than become the target of his life to kill and plunder.

    Trying to calm down, Bai Wuxiang repeatedly told himself to learn restraint, to abandon greedy desires and vain assumptions, the future will always be the future, his eyes should be on his feet, solid step by step growth.

    After calming down, Bai Wuyou asked a new question to the altar:

    Is there any other way to obtain this kind of God Eater treasure chest?

【Hint: The standard way to obtain the Gusteau treasure chest can be redeemed by sacrificing food cells. First-order Gusteau treasure chest requires 100 points of Gourmet Cells, second-order 300 points, third-order ......]

【Gourmet Cells: Special genetic tissues possessed by transcendent creatures. The rarer and more powerful the individual, the greater the number of Gourmet Cells possessed, which are automatically extracted after killing. Gourmet cells are the only Gusteau sacrifice, and can be used to exchange for Gusteau treasure chests.

【Additionally, only the host, or the pet animal with which the host has established a contract, can hunt gourmet cells by killing transcendent creatures】.

    [Once the gourmet cells of a certain race have been extracted by hunting, individuals of the same race of the same level and below will not be able to obtain them repeatedly. Individuals of the same race above the level will get the difference by deducting the gourmet cells once captured.]

    Killing transcendent creatures can get Gourmet Cells ...... then exchange Gourmet Cells for Gusteau Treasure Chest ......

    Immediately recalling what happened earlier, Bai Wuyou said in a daze:

    No wonder after killing the first hungry zombie, 1 point of gourmet cells appeared, the subsequent second, third and fourth head did not gain anything, the fifth head was the middle stage of the hatchling, yet it got 1 point of gourmet cells, so it was like this!

    The explanation given by the altar was intuitive and clear, and Bai Wuxiang quickly figured out the logic.

    Right now, the number of Gourmet Cells held by individuals is 2, and it is far from enough to exchange for the Gourmet Treasure Chest.

    Such as God of Food's Gift such as additional ways to obtain the treasure chest, white no injury also asked, the altar did not give any response.

    Looking over the thirteen statues around, there is still nothing new to be found.

    This altar, it seems, can only be used to draw treasure chests ......

    Bai Wuyou studied for a while longer, and even tried to bring the outside world into the altar, but it did not work at all.

    Forget it, now the body is not out of danger, for the time being, here it is, I have to go back!

    With a black and a light in front of his eyes, Bai Wuxiang returned to reality and regained his physical body.

    Inside the cave, Mu Xiao Xiao is still sleeping, the fire burns, everything is fine.

    Organize your thoughts, first of all, the secret of the altar of the God of Eating, will become my greatest reliance, absolutely can not be exposed ...... Well ...... pupils can identify transcendent creatures, probably considered a derivative auxiliary function, simply called the Eye of Cognition Well, the same to be studied in depth ......

    There is also the transcendent recipe of Tempting Mouse, I need to find the opportunity to collect ingredients to make it to ensure the reliability of the actual effect ......

    ...... As for now, I will meditate at ease to recover my mental state, wait until the corpses recede during the day, this valley should be safe for the time being, then I will first turn on my native summoning, with the help of my pet beasts, and then think of a way to return to the academy... ...

Chapter 7: A nightcap delivered to your door

    Inside the cave, Bai Wuxiang sat cross-legged against the cave entrance, closed his eyes, assumed the posture of five hearts facing the sky, and began to meditate.

    Meditation is the most regular practice after becoming an imperial master, and can be used to recover or grow soul power. After a certain level of adaptation, meditation can even completely replace sleep for better recovery of body functions.

    White injury-free did not dare to enter the immersion deep meditation, only stay in the state of shallow meditation, so as to divide part of the attention, conducive to respond to the outside world at any time.

    Time passes by minute by minute.

    Suddenly, a loud boom, like the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, broke the silence of the valley.

    Bai Wuxiang woke up with a jolt, as the voice was very close to him.

    Looking through a gap in the stone toward the outside, only to see the shallow moonlight, a large brown and black boar like a pile of mud lying on the ground, fat belly constantly twitching, tusks are broken, the mouth spitting blood foam.

【Name】：Tusked pig (wild)

【Race】：Demon beast world - walking beast type - tusked pig race

【Life Level】：Late Euploid

【Bloodline quality】：3 stars of mortal bone level

【Status】：Dying

【Wisdom】：Low

    [Characteristics]: Recklessness

【Skills】：Pig bursting into the fierce, towards the sky stab

    [Food Cell]: 9

    What's happening? Mu Xiao Xiao was also awakened and came over to ask quietly.

    Probably fell from above and fell half to death ...... Bai Wuyuan casually guessed, but his heart was very worried.

    This is the most active point of time for zombies, such a large boar fell, said the initiative to send the night snack is not too much.

    White no injury is tempted to spit, you door-to-door service even if, why should fall dead in front of our cave, in case we are found even, this is not harm us!

    In the darkness, pair after pair of lime green eyes have turned, like a ghostly fire gathered towards here.

    At least two dozen hungry zombies of varying heights soon gathered around, suppressed hissing sounds rising and falling.

    They crowded together, eerie corpse claws each probe, can bring off large chunks of blood and flesh from the tusked pigs, and then like hungry ghosts pounced on a big mouth, the scene is extremely tragic.

    Bai Wuyou covered Mu Xiao's mouth, afraid that she could not bear the scene screamed out, that can become a live target.

    Dang! Dang! Dang!

    Suddenly, the distant raised a sky of sand and dust, a burly humanoid black figure darting toward this side, each step down, the ground is shaking violently.

    Like a tank, it rushes into the zombie crowd without a care in the world and can grab a hungry zombie with one hand, like throwing
