BXBX NOVEL Chapter 204 - 204: Forced Signing
The Black Dragon cub stood on the wall, gasping for breath. Its two wings were already injured; being able to leap onto the two-meter-high wall meant it had already exploded its final potential, expending a great amount of energy.
Hearing Song Jian’s words, the Black Dragon cub bared its sharp fangs at him, letting out a low roar. A trace of brutal murderous intent appeared in its golden vertical pupils.
Although it wanted to kill the man before it, the Black Dragon cub knew how powerful the enemy was and that it was now injured. If it didn’t run, it might die here.
As its level increased, the Black Dragon cub’s bloodline inheritance gradually awakened. It was precisely because it recognized Song Jian’s strength that it had been eager to raise its level. As long as it could reach level 10, it would be confident in escaping from here. If it could reach level 15, it would even have the confidence to kill Song Jian.
With a leap backward, the Black Dragon cub jumped off the wall, fluttered its broken wings, and fled into the distance.
“Do you think you can escape?”
The Arrow Tower was still locked onto the Black Dragon cub, continuously shooting crossbow bolts at it. The three Catapults also made a creaking noise, with stones already prepared and aimed at the Black Dragon cub, adjusting their angles automatically.
The roots of the Bloodthirsty Yin Soul Poison Tree, Alex, spread underground towards the manor’s exterior, breaking through the earth near the Black Dragon cub and stabbing its body like a spear.
This was probably the only chance for the Bloodthirsty Yin Soul Poison Tree to devour the blood of a Giant Dragon. Even if it destroyed all its roots, it wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
Song Jian followed the Black Dragon cub at an unhurried pace. He couldn’t afford to let down his guard for even a moment against a dragon, even if it was just a cub, for fear of capsizing in the gutter.
Woooo-
A deep whistling sound echoed through the air as three stones fell from the sky, blocking the Black Dragon cub’s escape route. Several tree roots ruthlessly pierced the Black Dragon cub’s abdomen, causing several blossoms of blood to burst forth, and the cub let out a painful roar.
Boom, boom, boom-
The three stones hit the Black Dragon cub’s body, causing its vitality points to drop drastically. Song Jian was startled and quickly stopped the Catapults from attacking. If they continued attacking, they might just kill the Black Dragon cub directly.
The Arrow Tower also stopped attacking, and now only the Bloodthirsty Yin Soul Poison Tree Alex was fighting against the Black Dragon cub.
Root after root began to suck blood from the Black Dragon cub continuously. Wisps of smoke rose from the roots as the water inside evaporated, causing them to burn and turn to ash.
However, Alex persisted stubbornly. One root after another wrapped around the Black Dragon cub, constantly sucking its blood, even though the blood was like molten lava to Alex.
With too much vitality lost, the Black Dragon cub’s health had already dropped to below a third. It fluttered its wings and struggled in vain, unable to break free from the shackles of the Bloodthirsty Yin Soul Poison Tree.
“Alex, be careful. Don’t kill it,” Song Jian warned anxiously.
“Master, Master, uh-, I will control…” The Bloodthirsty Yin Soul Poison Tree seemed to have expended a lot of energy and appeared somewhat breathless.
The Black Dragon cub was in a very sorry state at this point. Both its wings were pierced through by several tree roots that had burrowed into the ground, locking the wings in place. Its limbs were tightly wrapped by tree roots, while five or six roots continuously stabbed into its body, sucking its blood before burning and turning to ash. More roots would then continue to pierce the cub’s body. The endless onslaught of roots left its body covered in wounds, making the Black Dragon cub feel desperate.
“Sign it, and you can live!” Song Jian stood three or four meters away from the Black Dragon cub, holding the Pet Contract, and spoke to it.
The Black Dragon cub seemed to ignore him, as if it had given up on struggling. Its wings would occasionally twitch, but its entire body lay on the ground, allowing the Bloodthirsty Yin Soul Poison Tree to suck its blood at will.
The Vitality Points slowly decreased, and soon the Black Dragon cub’s Vitality Points were reduced to just one-tenth. Song Jian narrowed his eyes, as this Pet Contract could only be used once; if the Black Dragon cub refused to submit, forcefully signing the contract could easily fail.
“Do I really have to kill it? Even if it’s part of the Dragon Clan, it’s just a Level 5 elite BOSS now. What kind of good loot could it drop? Compared to a giant dragon pet, the items it drops now are worthless.” Looking at the still-defiant Black Dragon cub, Song Jian couldn’t help but frown and become agitated.
At this moment, severeral tree roots that had pierced the abdomen of the Black Dragon cub began to emit faint white smoke on the surface but did not catch fire. In the manor courtyard, the Bloody Infernal Poison Tree Alex suddenly roared.
“Sweet, crisp, and the flame of burning fire, this is…the blood of a giant dragon, roar!”
After the destruction of hundreds of tree roots, the Bloody Infernal Poison Tree finally adapted to the fiery poison in the blood of the Black Dragon. Of course, this was largely because the Black Dragon cub was too small; otherwise, daring to directly suck the blood of a giant dragon would result in the Bloody Infernal Poison Tree becoming a huge torch.
-1
-1
-1…
A series of -1 numbers began to float above the head of the Black Dragon cub, appearing so frequently that Song Jian thought Alex wanted to kill the Black Dragon cub.
However, after losing just over thirty Vitality Points, Alex stopped absorbing and left the Black Dragon cub with just over fifty Vitality Points remaining. “Become my pet, or die!” Song Jian said coldly.
The Black Dragon cub still struggled fiercely, trying to break free from the bondage of the Bloody Infernal Poison Tree, opening its mouth wide and roaring angrily at Song Jian.
“It seems like 1 have no choice but to kill you!” Song Jian felt the unyielding spirit of the Black Dragon cub and disappointment appeared on his face.
Although he wanted the Black Dragon cub to be his pet, Song Jian dared not continue to keep it without the game system’s certification; otherwise, it would be like raising a tiger to invite trouble. As soon as the Black Dragon cub grew up, it would definitely backlash against him.
Song Jian raised his sword and slashed heavily at the Black Dragon cub, finally reducing its Vitality Points to less than ten.
“Become my pet, or die!” Song Jian still couldn’t help but show the silvery Pet Contract Scroll in his hand to the Black Dragon cub.
Roar-
“Understood!”
Song Jian raised his sword, preparing to end the life of the Black Dragon cub.
“Master, why not just try using the scroll directly?” Steward George suddenly appeared at the entrance of the manor, shouting at Song Jian.
“Use it directly? If it fails, the scroll will be gone as well…” Song Jian hesitated.
“Its life value is already very low now. At this time, forcefully signing the contract will also have a high success rate…” George explained.
Song Jian pondered for a moment and finally gritted his teeth, tearing the scroll in his hand and throwing it at the Black Dragon cub.
