By the mountain hollow, there was a deathly silence.
The army of Strange Beast, which had been ferocious and eager to tear all humans to shreds, now stood frozen in place as if under a immobilization spell.
The Eternal Night Guild mbers gripped their weapons, exchanging glances.
"Wh-what's going on?"
"Why aren't they moving?"
A brave warrior cautiously took two steps forward and poked the backside of a Demonic Wolf with his long blade.
The burly Demonic Wolf rely trembled all over, not even daring to turn its head.
"What are you waiting for!" Moria was the first to react. Standing on a high vantage point, she let out a sharp, clear cry, "Beat them while they're down! Kill them!"
This cry, like a thunderclap, instantly awakened everyone.
"Kill!"
The three hundred Eternal Night mbers, as if injected with chicken blood, let out a heaven-shaking roar and unleashed their skills madly upon the motionless targets.
Blades flashed, and magic roared.
Blood instantly stained the mountain hollow.
However, what happened next once again astonished everyone.
The attacked Strange Beast, even when slashed open and blasted into a bloody ss by magic, remained motionless.
They rely prostrated themselves on the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
Their eyes were filled with fear for the Little Black Dragon, as if resistance was sacrilege against a god.
Not even one turned to flee.
They were beaten to death alive.
The battle ended.
The corpses of Strange Beast lay everywhere.
All mbers of the Eternal Night Guild stood panting, their faces filled with dreamlike shock.
"My heavens..."
"We...we won just like that?"
"This Little Black Dragon brought by the Dominator...is too miraculous, isn't it?"
"As expected of the Dominator! He can even get a Dragon as a pet!"
Everyone looked at the Little Black Dragon not far away, wagging its tail and looking for praise.
In their eyes, besides awe, there was a hint of envy.
With Little Black's addition, the Guild mbers' monster-grinding efficiency saw a qualitative leap.
Whenever a new beast tide erged from the lake, Little Black only needed to run to the front and roar a couple of tis.
The previously aggressive Strange Beast would imdiately beco as docile as sheep, lining up to be slaughtered.
This was not leveling up.
This was simply a one-sided massacre.
Seeing Little Black's excellent performance, Zhou Huai naturally wouldn't treat it poorly.
He controlled Moria, took out a fist-sized magic crystal from the Storage Ring, and offered it to Little Black's mouth.
"Owoo~"
Little Black let out a joyful cry, opened its mouth, and gently took the magic crystal.
However, it only licked it twice with its tongue before spitting the magic crystal out again, pushing it back into Moria's hand.
It let out a burp, seemingly indicating that it was full.
Then, it ran to a clean stone, curled up, found a comfortable position, and fell into a deep sleep.
Zhou Huai saw this and was not surprised.
Presumably, the energy from the eggshell it had just swallowed was too imnse, and this little fellow wouldn't be able to digest it all at once.
Once it fully digested it, its Rank would likely see another significant increase.
In the following days, the Eternal Night Guild completely entered a frantic leveling mode.
When tired, they would return to the Guild headquarters through the teleportation gate to rest.
Once rested, they would imdiately return to the Secret Realm to continue this monotonous yet highly efficient slaughter.
Under Moria's supervision, no one dared to slack off in the slightest.
Everyone's Rank was skyrocketing at an incredible speed, like a rocket.
In just one day.
The average Rank of Eternal Night Guild mbers rose from the original Rank fourteen to Rank sixteen.
If this efficiency were to spread, it would be enough to drive the entire Donghai City's professional circle into a frenzy.
However, this lake area was like a fixed monster-spawning point.
Whenever Guild mbers cleared out the Strange Beast on the shore, as long as they approached the lake slightly, a new large group of Strange Beast would crawl out [N O V E L I G H T] from the dark green lake water.
Endless.
This also ant that Zhou Huai still didn't know what the brilliantly golden glowing object in the center of the lake was.
He didn't dare to send a Clone to investigate rashly.
Who knew if there was so terrifying existence in the bottomless lake water that even Little Black couldn't suppress.
While Guild mbers were busy leveling up, Zhou Huai himself wasn't idle.
He imdiately had Moria purchase an Strange Beast Contract at a high price through the underground black market.
Although Little Black was very dependent on Moria now and obeyed his every command.
But an Strange Beast was an Strange Beast after all.
Moreover, this was an Abyssal Demonic Dragon with a Hell-level BOSS template.
In the future, no one could say whether its Heart-Nature would change with the growth of its strength.
Better safe than sorry.
Only by signing an Strange Beast Contract to achieve an absolute binding at the Soul level.
Could Zhou Huai be completely at ease with this future great weapon.
With the Contract in hand, Zhou Huai controlled Moria to imdiately find Little Black, who was sound asleep on a stone.
He squatted down and gently patted the little fellow's head.
"Little Black, wake up."
"Owoo?"
Little Black groggily opened its eyes, and seeing it was Moria, imdiately rubbed its head affectionately against his palm.
Zhou Huai looked at its docile appearance, feeling a little nervous.
This Strange Beast Contract, like the Demon Lord Contract, could not be forcibly signed.
Once the other party resisted, the Contract would not take effect and might even backfire.
He took a deep breath and slowly unfolded the ancient Contract scroll in front of Little Black.
"Little Black, don't be scared."
He soothed it with as gentle a voice as possible.
"This is a ritual that can make our relationship even closer."
"Are you willing...to be with forever?"
He had originally thought that Little Black might hesitate or resist.
But unexpectedly, the process went smoother than he could have imagined.
Little Black rely tilted its head, curiously looking at the faintly glowing scroll.
Then it looked at Moria's sincere eyes.
And then, it extended its claw and gently pressed it onto the scroll.
"Owoo!"
As if saying, "I do."
The next second.
The Contract scroll suddenly erupted with brilliant light, transforming into countless golden runes that enveloped both Moria and Little Black.
Zhou Huai felt as if his Soul was gently lifted by a pair of warm hands.
A brand new golden thread, full of life and trust, extended from the depths of his Soul and tightly connected with Little Black's Soul.
Unlike the cold, absolute Dominator control of the Demon Lord Contract.
This thread was more like an equal, interdependent partnership.
He could clearly perceive all of Little Black's emotions at this mont.
Joy, dependence, and that unreserved trust.
The ritual ended.
A series of System prompts also sounded in Zhou Huai's mind.
【Ding! The Strange Beast Contract has been successfully signed!】
【You have successfully established a Soul binding with 'Abyssal Demonic Dragon'!】
【You can now view its detailed attributes and skills!】
【Abyssal Demonic Dragon · Little Black】
【Rank: LV3】
【Health: 800000 / 800000】
【Skill List:】
【Passive Skill: Demonic Dragon Body (LV1) - Possesses a tough Dragon Clan body, physical and magic resistance increased by 500%. Health recovery speed increased by 1000%. When casting Dark-type magic, effect increased by 200%.】
【Active Skill 1: Dragon Might (LV1) - Emits a roar containing the majesty of the Dragon Clan, inflicting "Fear" and "Deterrence" effects on weaker targets. For enemy units, inflicts a "Stun" effect lasting 3 seconds. Cooldown: 30 seconds.】
【Active Skill 2: Abyssal Dragon Breath (LV1) - Breathes out Demonic Flas containing Abyssal power, dealing true damage that ignores defense to the target. Damage value depends on the amount of Devilish Qi infused by the host. Cooldown: 1 minute.】
Zhou Huai couldn't help but gasp as he looked at the descriptions of these three skills.
Good heavens!
The passive skill was practically an immortal body.
The first active skill was an unsolvable, powerful crowd control.
The second active skill directly ignored defense and dealt true damage!
Terrifying!
This was simply a killing machine born for war!
Now that the Contract was signed, Little Black beca even more dependent on Zhou Huai.
But it no longer only showed affection for Moria, this one Clone, as before.
Instead, like other demon slaves, it could clearly perceive who its true Master was.
No matter which Clone Zhou Huai's Soul was in, it would show unreserved affection for that Clone.
After dealing with Little Black's matters, Zhou Huai turned his attention to another, more important matter.
Although the Secret Realm was good, it was not his territory after all.
With over three hundred Guild mbers leveling up here, the target was too large.
If the Zhou Family and Liu Family people explored this area, it would be difficult not to be discovered.
To be safe, a large-scale Illusion Formation must be set up here.
Completely isolating the entire lake area from other parts of the Secret Realm.
Zhou Huai controlled Zhuge Kongming, once again imrsing himself in intense and busy work.
Setting up a large Illusion Formation capable of covering dozens of miles was far more work than creating a teleportation Formation.
Fortunately, Illusion Formation also belonged to the category of Rank four Spirit Formation.
For the current Zhuge Kongming, the difficulty was not high.
He only needed to design the core of the Formation and complete the construction of the first Formation base.
The remaining repetitive work could all be handed over to the Smart Core AI.
Ti passed day by day in this busyness.
The Eternal Night Guild mbers were imrsed in the joy of rapidly increasing their Ranks, unable to extricate themselves.
Several Clones also perford their respective duties, executing his commands in an orderly manner.
Zhou Huai had a rare two days of leisure and was about to take a good rest.
A sudden System prompt sounded in his mind.
【Ding!】
【Your Clone 'Myriad Forms Divine Craftsman · Ouyezi' has received an invitation letter from the Forging Guild of 'Skyfire City'.】
【Invitation content: Sincerely invite Great Master Ouyezi to Skyfire City three days later to participate in the Great Xia Country's ten-year 'Divine Smith Grand Ceremony'.】
【Would you like to take over consciousness?】
