Chapter Thirty: Divine Beast Card Feast

  Kayan, the name this giant beast had given itself in front of Zhang Huaming, was now feeling extremely depressed. If it could, it really wanted to directly eliminate the small creature in front of it, but it didn't dare to. After all, becoming a divine beast required conditions that were too harsh, even for its young age. It didn't want to lose its life due to a moment of anger, so it kept telling itself in its heart: endure, must endure, must hold back.

  What annoyed Kayan the most was that he was clearly displeased with this human in front of him, but for some reason, he had a lingering affection for this human. He felt that there was something on this human that was attracting him, and that feeling was an inexplicable mystery.

  Days passed, and Zhang Huaming's sudden disappearance caused a stir among the various forces in Xiaguojing. The most reacted was General Qin Xiao Tian of the Manton Army, who also rushed to the scene that day, but unfortunately, when he arrived, Zhang Huaming had already left, and finally, he reluctantly returned to Kyoto.

  Although Xia Guo is a remote small country, the matter was still passed down. After Zhang Huaming finished fighting for half a day, dozens of mysterious horsemen came to inspect the scene and left. In an instant, the entire Wushu continent began because of this remote small country.

  In the blink of an eye, Zhang Huaming disappeared in Xia Guo for three months. At first, many people entered the Death Forest to investigate, but when these people didn't return, some people with ulterior motives gradually gave up as well. After all, they couldn't afford this price! First and foremost, if you want to enter the core of the Death Forest, your cultivation must be at least above Wu Zong. However, in Xia Guo, there are only a handful of people who have reached the Wu Zong realm, so how could they bear to die? It's worth noting that the higher one's cultivation is, the more afraid of death they become. Even divine beasts fear death, let alone humans! Of course, no one would be willing to risk their lives for just a piece of information, especially when it comes with the danger of dying at any moment and in any place.

  In the heart of the Forest of Death, Zhang Huaming suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp glint flashed in his gaze. His face was filled with shock, as he had originally thought that he had already grasped the Longevity Technique to an extraordinary degree. However, after this initial understanding, he realized that he was wrong - terribly wrong. This Longevity Technique was simply too heaven-defying! Take, for example, the first layer of Breaking Void that he was currently cultivating: his absorption and recovery of true energy were actually five times faster than those of ordinary cultivators. This was indeed a bit too heaven-defying! It's worth noting that in battles between people of the same level, the outcome is often determined by who has more abundant true energy. But when Zhang Huaming fought against others, it was as if five people were fighting against one person - what would be the result? The outcome was self-evident.

  "Roar!" Kayan let out a low growl as he saw the little guy get back up again.

  Zhang Huaming heard Karyn's cry and a smile appeared on his face. He asked in beast language, "Little boy, what is your name?"

  "Eh!" Kayan was taken aback that this little thing in front of him could understand his own language, and he was stunned for a moment. The next moment, he responded in surprise: "Human, how do you know the beast language of my divine beast clan?"

  "This little meaning, young man, have you ever thought of leaving this forest?" Zhang Huaming said with a face full of wolf-like granny's seductive expression.

  "Leave this forest?" Kaiden scratched his massive head with a claw and said, "I've thought about it, but the memories my parents left me tell me that the outside world is very dangerous. Humans either run or shout and scream when they see me."

  Zhang Huaming heard Kayan's words and thought to himself, "Aren't you talking nonsense? Those who see you running are naturally ordinary people or ordinary cultivators. If they don't run when they see you, they're just waiting for death! As for those who dare to shout and kill, they must be highly skilled cultivators. If they don't kill you, it's only because of some ghostly reason. Who made you a treasure from head to toe?"

  "Don't worry, as long as you go out with me, I'll take care of your safety." Zhang Huaming patted his chest and said, looking confident.

  "Are you in charge of my safety?" Karyn's lantern-sized eyes scanned Zhang Huaming and shook his large head, "Your skills are even worse than the old man who beat me up last time. How can you protect me? Unless it was the 'you' from last time you came, then I believe you absolutely have the ability to protect me."

  "Hit your old man?" Zhang Huaming heard this sentence and was stunned for a moment, subconsciously saying: "You still can't beat someone?"

  "Well, that old man is really powerful, I'm not his opponent." Kaiden nodded slightly, with a hint of lingering fear on his face, because that was the closest he had come to death.

  "Damn it!" Zhang Huaming finally uttered a profanity after a long while, his face revealing a frustrated expression. In his heart, he thought: "Indeed, in this space, the Martial God is not the highest realm. What the heck, why are there hidden dragons and crouching tigers everywhere? It's the same on Earth and here."

  "If you don't want to go out, then forget it. I'm leaving." Zhang Huaming said after finishing his words and turned around to leave.

  "Wait."

  "Ah!" Zhang Huaming turned around and looked at the massive object in front of him, with a puzzled expression.

  Kaiyan scratched his massive head with his claws again and said: "I changed my mind, I want to go out with you."

  "Want to go out?" Zhang Huaming heard Kayan's words, and his mind quickly turned around. The next moment, he had an expression of indifference: "I thought about it carefully, I think you'd better not go out with me, in case that old man in your mouth comes again, then I'll be killed for no reason, this deal is not worth it, it's safer to be alone, goodbye."

  Zhang Huaming finished speaking and immediately turned around, with an appearance of wanting to leave immediately. However, in his heart, he was secretly counting numbers, waiting for Karyn to call out to him. He firmly believed that within ten breaths, Karyn would definitely speak up to stop him. And indeed, when he counted to six in his heart, Karyn's voice sounded again.

  "Wait..."

  "Oh! Is there anything else?" Zhang Huaming was actually delighted, but his face still wore an expression of "what can I do for you", completely unable to tell that he had any problem at all.

  Kaiyan's expression changed several times before he gritted his teeth and said, "Speak! What benefits do you want?"

  "What's in it for me?" Zhang Huaming heard Kayan's blunt words, and his expression changed instantly. After a moment, he spoke up: "Soul contract."

  "Soul contract?" Karyn's eyes, as big as lanterns, widened suddenly, and the next moment she roared: "Impossible, human, you're really delusional, dreaming."

  "Suit yourself then! Next time you're willing but I'm not! Bye!"

  Kaiyan saw Zhang Huaming walking away so freely, his facial expression changed several times after a few moments, and the words from his heart echoed in his mind, then he called out: "Human, wait."

  "What's wrong with you that you can't say everything at once? Why are you nagging like a woman, isn't it annoying?"

  "Y...". Karyna's massive claw pointed at Zhang Huaming, unable to speak. Her entire body trembled for a moment before her tone suddenly turned solemn: "Human, you won, but I want to make an equal soul contract with you."

  "Equality? Haha." Zhang Huaming first smiled and then changed his face in an instant: "Did you forget what I said earlier? Now I've changed my mind, if we sign now, it's only the master-slave soul contract. Are you going to do it or not? If not, I'll leave immediately, but let me tell you, there won't be a next time."

  Kaiyang's eyes were wide open, his chest heaving rapidly, and it seemed like he was furious, but he didn't make a single move. After dozens of breaths, Kaiyang's head drooped down and said: "Human, you win, I agree to your terms."

  "Haha!" Zhang Huaming said with a triumphant smile: "Then release your inner dan."

  Kaiyan nodded with a wronged expression, and the next moment it opened its bloody big mouth. A bead the size of a fist flew out from its mouth, which was the essence of the divine beast, the divine beast's inner elixir.

  Zhang Huaming's hands moved in a few strange gestures, and the next moment he spat out a mouthful of blood that splashed onto the inner elixir in front of him. After his vital energy stuck to the inner elixir, it suddenly lit up for a moment. The next moment, a mysterious symbol appeared on Karyn's inner elixir.

  Zhang Huaming wiped away the bloodstains from his mouth, and a new feeling emerged in his heart. He seemed to sense every thought and idea that was going through Karyn's mind at this moment.
