Chapter 7: The Ancient Covenant

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  The magnificent scene continued to unfold, even making Ling Qingyan feel a bit visually fatigued. At this moment, he was still in shock and had no idea what was happening before his eyes.

  "Waaaah——"

  At the moment when Xiaocang's four limbs stood upright and his mouth opened wide, a loud roar of thunder between the dark clouds rang out again! This was Xiaocang's third howl! And Ling Qingyan, who had been staring intently at Xiaocang's every move, had already covered her ears tightly with both hands at the moment when Xiaocang opened his mouth.

  However, the vibrations caused by the barking of the Tibetan Mastiff on the ground were clearly felt by Ling Qingyan. At this time, Ling Qingyan no longer dared to regard the small Tibetan Mastiff in front of him as an ordinary small animal. If such a powerful creature was just a small animal... then what about those demon beasts that were countless times stronger than animals?

  The third howl of the little Tibetan Mastiff was so loud that it echoed far and wide, even beyond the dozens of miles of dense forest.

  At that time, the livestock in some villages near this jungle were all paralyzed on the ground with fear, foaming at the mouth. And those villagers, whether they were working or resting outside, all hid in their homes, holding hoes and shovels to defend themselves. In their hearts, this sound was the howling of wolves, and judging from the sound, it seemed to be the call of the wolf king, and it was close to the village where they lived!

  Be on guard!

  ………

  After the third howl of the Tibetan Mastiff, the rumbling thunder in the dark clouds at the top of the area where Ling Qingyan was located seemed to fade away. At this time, Ling Qingyan also put down his hands, but a pair of eyes still stared intently at the little head of the Tibetan Mastiff.

  At this time, what he feared most was that the demon beast, which he had previously regarded as a small animal, would let out another earth-shattering howl!

  Enjoying the tranquility of this moment, Ling Qingyan suddenly calmed down and felt that he had seen a similar scene somewhere before, but due to his confused mind at the time, he couldn't remember for a while.

  Hmph! Hmph!

  Let's not mention how Ling Qingyan furrowed his brow in thought, but at this moment, Xiao Cangao's body was emitting a black cold aura that was slowly expanding...

  In the midst of Ling Qingyan's repeated stunned expression, the black cold aura around Xiao Canglang suddenly surged to a square meter, with flowing light flashing like the smooth surface of a diamond without any difference.

  Boom! Boom!

  The originally calm and serene dark clouds were once again stirred up by the thunderous roar, hundreds of square meters of dark clouds shrinking rapidly like cotton balls, compressing inward at an extremely fast speed as if they were desperate to squeeze in!

  Suddenly, it seemed that the dark cloud had been compressed to a certain extent. A blood-red wave suddenly appeared in the core of the compressed dark cloud, getting brighter and brighter! For a moment, the surrounding area where Ling Qingyan was located seemed to have become a blood-red world.

  Boom!

  At the moment when Ling Qingyan looked up at the sudden appearance of the red light in shock, the blood-red fluctuation at the core of the dark cloud suddenly burst out like a beam of light, as if mixed with the power to shake the sky, directly pouring down and enveloping Ling Qingyan and the small Tibetan mastiff in front of him!

  "I got it!"

  Ling Qingyan looked at the sudden appearance of a crimson light pillar that enveloped him and the small Canglang, and his mind flashed with inspiration. "I remember! This is the 'Blood Contract' of the ancient demon beasts! Only the powerful demon beasts of the ancient era understood this 'Blood Contract' method, which uses bloodlines as the foundation for inheritance! I saw it in that book '_The Legend of Ancient Demon Beasts_' in the Tianjian Sect's library... But have any descendants of those ancient demon beasts survived to this day? And why does this small Canglang-like demon beast want to sign a 'Blood Contract' with me? According to legend, aren't all demon beasts with ancient bloodlines extremely proud?"

  Perplexed! Incomprehensible!

  Two abnormal emotions filled Ling Qingyan's chest. But immediately afterwards, Ling Qingyan was attracted by the change of Xia Cangao under the blood-colored light column.

  At this moment, the black cold awns around Xiao Cangao suddenly moved out and shrouded themselves in a flash. In an instant, Ling Qingyan's entire body was covered by the black cold awns, and he only felt a refreshing coolness flowing all over his body, extremely comfortable!

  In the blink of an eye, a sharp pain like a knife cut through Ling Qingyan's entire body again, and even his purple long gown and underwear were reduced to tatters under the shroud of black cold light, scattering to the ground in the wind. At this moment, Ling Qingyan's entire body was also completely exposed in the black cold light!

  "Ah——"

  The intense pain made Ling Qingyan, a man who wouldn't bat an eye even if he was cut on the thigh, involuntarily let out a loud cry! This kind of pain, even compared to the pain he had experienced in the past when memories flooded his mind and his emotions fluctuated wildly before he fainted, was unprecedented!

  Pain! Excruciating pain!

  It was also because of Ling Qingyan's relatively firm mental state that he didn't faint. If it were someone else, they would have fainted long ago.

  Time slowly passed, and it seemed that he had adapted to this pain. Ling Qingyan also began to observe other things at this time. In his astonished eyes, the two Totem Beasts that should have been in his consciousness had transformed into two real shadows that appeared before him.

  Fierce and cruel Blood Python! All-white Qilin!

  The two great innate totems in Ling Qingyan's sea of consciousness appeared before his eyes once again. Since Ling Qingyan's last coma, he had not seen them again, and could only vaguely sense their existence.

  Ling Qingyan also came to know after reading various classics in the Tianjian Sect's library that only when one breaks into the Zun-level warrior realm can they gather their spiritual consciousness and introspect their innate totem within the sea of consciousness. However, he was a bit special because as a growing Blood Python, once he fully merged with his spiritual consciousness, his innate totem's abilities would be comparable to those of an average Zun-level innate totem wielder!

  Introspection is not beneath conversation!

  Ling Qing's totem, the Blood Python, was unexpectedly clear. He didn't know what reason caused it, but his totem had entered its growth period before he even broke through to the Respected level of martial artists. Normally, a person with a talented totem would only enter the growth period after reaching the Respected level, and then directly fuse their spiritual consciousness on their own initiative!

  But his own, is somewhat special! Although the Blood Python Totem in the Innate Totem is in its growth period, it has not yet merged with his spiritual consciousness. Merging still requires himself to do it! Not merging on his own actually doesn't matter much, as long as he reaches the level of a respected warrior, it will automatically merge on its own!

  Ke Ling Qing Yan, but it is a millionth expected fusion of the innate Totem ability! It is impossible to wait until he himself enters the ranks of the Honorable Warrior.
