27: Contracted third summoned beast! Evolution?

At this moment on the battlefield, the Extreme Blade Mantis's Compound Eyes, tainted by the Abyss, grew even more crimson as its fighting spirit intensified.

The aura of the Abyss was continuously eroding its vitality.

Abyss pollution usually involves being forcibly corroded by the Abyss aura, slowly eroding vitality and sanity until complete death.

But the Extreme Blade Mantis showed no fear of death, only danced wildly!

The only regret was that this power would not last long.

At this moment, a voice entered the battlefield:

“Do you want to possess this power forever?”

The Extreme Blade Mantis suddenly looked up and found Ye Ze calmly looking at him:

“I can give you a chance.”

The Mantis snorted disdainfully, “Hmph! How dare a mere human speak so arrogantly?”

“I will never! Submit to you weak human Summoners!”

Ye Ze was not surprised by such a fierce reaction.

He retorted, “But don't forget, you can't even beat my level 7 Summoned Beast.”

“Where do you get the confidence to say I'm weak?”

Upon hearing this, the Extreme Blade Mantis flew into a rage.

But the reality was laid bare: with his current strength, he was no match for the Epic 6-star Panda.

Moreover, the Panda's Tai Chi Kung Fu, which used softness to overcome hardness, completely countered his offensive.

The Extreme Blade Mantis fell silent.

And Ye Ze's next sentence instantly shocked him, and even Ruan Xiaoyou!

“I'll give you a chance…”

“Sign a contract with me, and if you're not satisfied with your strength later, the contract can be terminated at any time!”

The Extreme Blade Mantis's Compound Eyes flickered red, and although he was silent, ripples formed within him.

Ruan Xiaoyou's expression suddenly changed, and she abruptly stopped Ye Ze, “Are you crazy?”

“Under such conditions, he could betray you at any time!”

Who contracts a Summoned Beast like that?

Does he even know how to play Summoner?

And the reason Ye Ze dared to propose this was…

Because he was confident that the bonuses brought by the golden attribute would definitely be more addictive than the power of the Abyss!

On the other hand, as long as the contract was successful and the attribute was added, loyalty would skyrocket, ensuring he would have no second thoughts!

For Ye Ze, the difficulty still lay in enticing the Mantis to sign the contract.

And how to solve the Abyss pollution?

However, after Ruan Xiaoyou suggested that ‘Abyss aura can be suppressed’.

He had a new idea: since it could be suppressed, couldn't it also be ‘adapted’?

If the Extreme Blade Mantis adapted to the Abyss pollution, wouldn't it be able to permanently maintain the characteristics of the Abyss!

He looked at the only remaining attribute he had:

【Void Creatures: Living in the Endless Void, possessing adaptability and uniqueness beyond all things, able to travel through the Void.】

He decided to take a gamble!

If it didn't succeed, then there was nothing he could do; it would mean this Summoned Beast didn't belong to him.

He could accumulate military merits later and exchange them for other Summoned Beast skill books; it would still be in time.

With this thought, he first comforted Ruan Xiaoyou…

I know you're anxious, but don't be.

Then, he launched a ‘fierce attack’ on the Extreme Blade Mantis!

“Contract with me, and the strength increase I bring you will not be weaker than the power of the Abyss!”

“Look, the level 7 Kung Fu Panda is an example.”

He pointed to the Panda; the strength displayed by the level 7 Panda was very convincing.

The Extreme Blade Mantis had personally experienced it and couldn't help but believe Ye Ze's words!

He was somewhat moved.

Ye Ze continued, “If your ability is strong enough…”

“I will make you the strongest hunter.”

The Extreme Blade Mantis roared, “Of course I have the ability!”

“Good—!”

Ye Ze and the Extreme Blade Mantis looked at each other, the latter hoarsely saying:

“But you must at least resolve the Abyss pollution…”

“I can try, but the success rate isn't high.”

Ye Ze spoke truthfully.

This made the Extreme Blade Mantis believe him more; if Ye Ze had said he could clear it 100%, he would have been suspicious.

After all, this was the pollution of the Eternal Abyss; who could be 100% confident?

Ruan Xiaoyou, however, became suspicious: “The Abyss aura that can only be temporarily suppressed globally, he actually says he has a chance to resolve it?”

“He's lying, right?”

But she didn't say it aloud, in case Ye Ze really was lying.

At the same time, Ye Ze used his spiritual power to activate the Summoned Beast space, forming a contract.

Everything Ye Ze had just said was written on it, witnessed by Blue Star's extraordinary power.

Two parchment scrolls glowing with white light appeared before Ye Ze and the Extreme Blade Mantis.

Ye Ze quickly pressed his handprint.

After hesitating for more than ten seconds, the Extreme Blade Mantis touched it with his scythe-like right limb.

【Ding! You have successfully contracted an Excellent ★★★★ Summoned Beast: Extreme Blade Mantis!】

The moment the contract took effect, the Extreme Blade Mantis was taken into Ye Ze's Summoned Beast space.

At the same time, because the contracted Extreme Blade Mantis was of very high quality, his spiritual power was immediately greatly depleted!

“If my spiritual power wasn't 128 points, I really couldn't have contracted him!”

The higher the quality of the Summoned Beast, the more conditions are required for contracting.

Even with skill books, high-tier summoning skill books also require spiritual power conditions.

Seeing the contract succeed, Ruan Xiaoyou almost held her breath!

“It really, succeeded?”

A Summoned Beast that almost all Summoners in East China couldn't contract was actually successfully contracted by Ye Ze!

But thinking about it carefully…

Which Summoner would dare to offer the condition of ‘if you're not satisfied with your strength, the contract can be terminated at any time’?

And how many Summoners had the ability to convince the Extreme Blade Mantis?

But as soon as she thought of this, she realized the problem had just begun:

“What are you going to do next?”

“Setting aside the strength improvement, how do you plan to resolve the Abyss pollution?”

Ye Ze smiled and comforted her, “Don't worry, I'll take him out of the Pollution Land.”

“Then, even if he dies, he won't die in the Pollution Land, and we'll have completed the mission without shedding a drop of blood!”

Ruan Xiaoyou chuckled, “You're quite cunning.”

This way, the worst outcome was still successfully taking down the Extreme Blade Mantis.

And without any injuries, preventing the opponent from a desperate counterattack before death.

“Since that's the case, all missions are complete, and I should head back to East Wu City!”

It was getting late, and she didn't plan to stay any longer.

On the other hand, she always had a premonition: perhaps Ye Ze really had a trump card!

Could he really resolve the Abyss pollution?

Just thinking about it made one's scalp tingle a bit.

If she witnessed such an ability firsthand, should she report it to the research institute, or not?

It was better not to know; she would just assume that Extreme Blade Mantis was already dead.

With this thought, she simply left.

Before leaving, she casually pinched Ye Ze's face and said:

“If you apply to Hua Dong Martial Arts University in the future, remember to find your big sister in East Wu City~”

Ye Ze's face was full of black lines, and he only murmured during the kneading, “I'll consider it…”

Ruan Xiaoyou's lips curved upwards, she gently blinked, then transformed into a beautiful black shadow and drifted away.

But Ye Ze had no time to sigh over this.

At this moment, the Extreme Blade Mantis in the Summoned Beast space had already begun to become agitated.

Because… Ye Ze, as a Summoner, was only level 7.

His level 14 also shrunk, dropping to level 7, and his attributes even dropped to an average of less than 100 points.

Having just been contracted, the Extreme Blade Mantis's strength had shrunk by almost half, naturally making him particularly agitated.

“Ahem, don't rush, let's try it now.”

“If it succeeds, your future prospects will be far beyond what this mere level 7 can compare to?”

Ye Ze said, attaching the Void Creatures attribute to the Mantis…

Would the adaptability of Void Creatures be useful against the pollution of the Eternal Abyss?

Ye Ze couldn't say for sure.

But if he didn't try this time, he probably wouldn't encounter such a good opportunity again.

In the Summoned Beast space, a purple ethereal light suddenly erupted!

Enveloping the Extreme Blade Mantis, like a giant purple egg…

【“Void Creatures” attribute successfully granted!】

【Ding! Due to the special nature of this target, this evolution will last for a certain period of time…】
