241: Chapter 70: The Bonding of the Twin Snow Dragon Leopards (Part 1)_1 241: Chapter 70: The Bonding of the Twin Snow Dragon Leopards (Part 1)_1 Zi snapped back from his contemplation, his gaze suddenly growing icy as he turned and looked southward, muttering to himself, “Guti, you must survive.
My mother was once just as great.
Our grudge will be settled soon.”
Whirling around to face the three Polar Ice Demon Apes, Zi’s aura instantly turned even colder, the purple light in his eyes pulsating with barely concealed murderous intent.
“Emperor Zi, please, don’t kill my two brothers.
We had no choice.
To survive better, we had to attack the Snow Dragon Leopard.
Otherwise, who knew when we would bee its prey?” pleaded the Polar Ice Demon Ape that had offered its spirit in a soul sacrifice.
The other two injured Demon Apes also had eyes full of pleading.
Without needing Zi to say it, they had already released their Soul Fire.
Each was holding a small creature in their hands.
“Emperor Zi, these are the children of the Golden Striped Saber-Toothed Tiger King and the Hurricane Python King.
We only captured their children and forced them to act because we discovered that the Snow Dragon Leopard was pregnant.
Since you have human friends, we would like to offer them to you.
While they’re still young, it’s easier to form a contract,” said the Demon Apes.
Ye Yinzhu snorted in anger, “Despicable.”
Zi patted Ye Yinzhu on the shoulder and nodded at Dis, exhaling a ball of blue flame, which was the soul fire sacrificed by the Polar Ice Demon Ape.
“You don’t deserve to be my subordinates.
From now on, you belong to Dis.”
Overjoyed, Dis felt like he’d struck gold, for even though they were only rank seven, they were still rank Nine Beasts!
Having three such minions was definitely a good thing.
With the sacrificed Soul Fire, these three minions would be his most loyal subordinates in the future, definitely stronger than those Silver Behemoths, thus pensating for his lack of magic attack.
He quickly thanked Zi, stepped forward, and inhaled the three orbs of Soul Fire floating in the air into his gaping maw.
Sacrificing to the Amethyst Behemoth was a pletely different concept than sacrificing to the Golden Behemoth.
The three Polar Ice Demon Apes immediately seemed much weaker.
Although deeply unwilling in their hearts, they were helpless if they wanted to preserve their lives, especially when confronted by the angry Ye Yinzhu, the Ming Hui Couple, and Zi and Dis who stood before them, daring not to resist.
Dis grabbed the children of the Hurricane Python King and the Golden Striped Saber-Toothed Tiger King with one hand each, proudly declaring, “Lads, from now on you’re with Boss.
I’ll call you Ape One, Ape Two, and Ape Three.
These are your names from this day forth.
Now, all of you transform into human form.
Remember, without my order, you’re not allowed to show your true forms.”
“Yes, Boss,” the three Polar Ice Demon Apes seemed to resign themselves to their fate, their figures flickering as they transformed into human form within the blue glow.
They all had robust bodies with snow-white skin and white hair.
The injured Ape Two and Ape Three looked unwell, clutching their ribcage—a clear sign of the impact from Dis’ punches, which had likely broken at least five ribs each.
But as rank Nine Beasts, they did not require treatment.
With some time, they would naturally recover.
Zi said to Ye Yinzhu, “Let’s go.
We’ll return first, then pay a visit to the Ice Ring.
If my guess is correct, the descendants of my ancestors’ panions may be living inside the Ice Ring.
Meanwhile, we can deal with these small Magical Beasts.
They are all descendants of rank Nine Beasts; it would be suitable for three people to form contracts with them.
It’s also not a wasted trip for them.”
The bodies of the Golden Striped Saber-Toothed Tiger King and the Hurricane Python King were not wasted.
Zi instructed Ye Yinzhu to gather them, especially the Crystal Cores inside the bodies of both Magical Beasts.
As the energy source of rank Nine Magical Beasts, their value could not be measured with money.
Due to the death of the Snow Dragon Leopard, Ye Yinzhu’s mood was somewhat gloomy during the return journey, and he did not recover even after reaching the icy valley.
Sura had been anxiously waiting in the valley for a long time now.
The Frosty Forest was so dangerous, and Ye Yinzhu and his group had been gone for a while.
Finally, when she spotted some movement, she hurriedly went to greet them.
Seeing that Ye Yinzhu was unharmed brought a smile to her face, but the smile soon vanished when Haiyang approached, her tender gaze fixed on Ye Yinzhu with concern.
“Yin Zhu, what’s wrong?” Haiyang asked, noting his sadness, as Ye Yinzhu was never very good at concealing his emotions.
Ye Yinzhu forced a smile, “It’s nothing.
We just encountered some Magical Beasts.”
Sura suddenly asked in confusion, “Who are they?” Ye Yinzhu followed his gaze and saw the Demon Ape brothers.
As an assassin, Sura’s insight was extremely sharp, being the first to detect the presence of strangers.
Dis chuckled and said, “Brother Sura, these are my three younger brothers.
I had sent them to scout ahead in the Frosty Forest, and we just happened to meet up, so I brought them back with us.”
Sura’s puzzled expression returned to normal after hearing Dis’s explanation.
Dis put down the two little ones he was holding in his hands.
The offspring of the Golden Striped Saber-Toothed Tiger King looked extremely cute, with a fine layer of fluff covering its body and two tiny sharp fangs protruding from under its lips.
pletely unaware of its parents’ demise, it looked around curiously with big eyes, naturally feeling a sense of fear towards the aura of the rank Nine Beasts nearby.
The child of the Hurricane Python King was shorter in stature, with a faint blue pattern over its entire body.
Though still young, its gaze was cold, not as lively as the Golden Striped Saber-Toothed Tiger King, with small, fixed eyes that remained unmoved even after being put on the ground.
Seeing these two adorable little ones, everyone couldn’t help but gather around in surprise.
As elite students from the Milan Magic Martial Academy, they naturally knew what these small-sized Magical Beasts meant—they were young Magical Beasts capable of signing contracts!
And this was the Frosty Forest, where even the least was the offspring of a rank seven Wisdom-type Demon Beast.
Ma Liang and Chang Hao’s gazes turned fervent at once.
Having a Wisdom-type Demon Beast as a future panion could almost double one’s strength.
Among those who had e this time, Yue Ming and Ming Xue had dissolved their contracts and could not sign again.
Sura had acquired a Silver Dragon, and there was no need to mention Ye Yinzhu and Zi.
Only Ma Liang, Chang Hao, and Haiyang were left without Magical Beasts.
Of course, in their mind, Zi and the two Golden Behemoths were also without Magical Beasts.
Haiyang’s expression was very calm, as if she didn’t notice the two Magical Beasts at all.
At the moment, her gaze, along with Sura’s, was fixed on Ye Yinzhu’s face.
They cared more about Ye Yinzhu’s feelings than the Magical Beasts.
Ma Liang and Chang Hao, despite the fervent longing in their hearts, restrained themselves.
They knew that on this journey, Zi and the others were more influential than they were.
Although they yearned deeply, they did not show it too obviously.
Ma Liang said to Zi, “Mr.
Zi, these Magical Beasts were brought back by you, so you should rightfully have them.”
Zi shook his head and replied, “We don’t need Magical Beasts.
The main reason Ye Yinzhu brought you here was to help me find a special Magical Beast in this Frosty Forest.
Consider these two Beasts as your reward.
Besides, in the previous battle with the Magical Beasts, it was Ye Yinzhu, not me, who played a decisive role.
You don’t have to be polite anymore.”
Ma Liang was stunned for a moment, then concealed his joy internally and turned to Ye Yinzhu, whose emotions had somewhat recovered, nodded and said, “Zi is right; they don’t need these Magical Beasts.
Ma Liang, Chang Hao, and Haiyang, you three decide among yourselves.
I also have an egg of a Snow Dragon Leopard.
There are three types of Magical Beasts, one of them is an advanced rank Nine offspring, the others are lower rank Nine; choose for yourselves.” As he spoke, a flash of light in his hand revealed the large egg left by the Snow Dragon Leopard, appearing out of thin air on the ground in front of them.
Ye Yinzhu did not secretly keep the Snow Dragon Leopard egg for Haiyang because of their ambiguous relationship.
Both Ma Liang and Chang Hao were his friends, and precisely because he felt closer to Haiyang, he wanted to share the good things equally to give himself more peace of mind.
As the leader of the group, he had to treat everyone fairly.
Ma Liang and Chang Hao exchanged glances, both exclaiming softly at the same time, “Offspring of a rank Nine Magical Beast.
Yinzhu, you…”
Ye Yinzhu sighed lightly and said, “All three types of Magical Beasts have lost their kin.
Staying in the Frosty Forest would only lead to their deaths.
It’s better to take them away.
You three decide for yourselves.” As he spoke, he pulled Haiyang over and placed the Snow Dragon Leopard’s egg in between the other two little ones, also taking out the Crystal Core left by the Snow Dragon Leopard and setting it on top of the egg.
Haiyang stood beside Ye Yinzhu with a slight smile; her bright eyes held not a hint of desire as she nodded to Chang Hao and Ma Liang, “You guys are first-year students, and I’m a second-year, which makes me your Senior Sister.
It wouldn’t be right for me to take advantage of you, so go ahead and choose first.”
The difference between advanced rank Nine and lower rank Nine was considerable, and her words were as good as giving up the Snow Dragon Leopard egg.
Without Magical Beasts, both Chang Hao and Ma Liang longed every day to someday own their own Magical Beasts.
Especially Ma Liang, as a descendant of the Hua Sect and a Summoning Mage, he needed more time to perform magic than other Mages, because Summoning Mages did not have the ability to cast instant magic.
Even after reaching Zi rank in the future, he would still have to sketch briefly with a Painting Brush when summoning Magical Beasts.
He had always been looking for a Magical Beast that suited him, but as a once-in-a-lifetime Lifebound Demon Beast for a Summoning Mage, he had been desperately searching for an opportunity without finding a suitable choice.
After all, Wisdom-type Demon Beasts are extremely hard to find, and even if they are for sale, the price is astronomical and absolutely not affordable for them.
