Hectic Life With My Companions

Chapter 8 Spiritual Beasts

     Tang Xilong asked “If that is so, why haven't the other beasts attacked and tore the spiritual beast apart then”

*{System: There is a strong beast protecting that spiritual beast and it's already worn out from all the attacks, it will not survive tonight's attack so I suggest you hurry and go get it out}

      Tang Xilong held Tang Xie'er as they ran towards the direction the system pointed out for them “But system, will the beast even let me take the spiritual beast out of the hole and also how are you so sure that the other beasts won't come for me when I bring the spiritual beast out?”

*{System: Impossible, the beasts around the first three mountains only come out at night as they are nocturnal beasts, the forests are usually very quiet during the day but when the sun sets, the whole area becomes a death zone. You can only be safe in a secure underground hole or treetop of the tallest trees. Also you only have to convince the beast that is protecting the spiritual beast. It is wise and if you heal it, it will definitely trust you maybe you can get two beasts at once}

     Tang Xilong nodded “Even if I do get two beasts, I can't tame them as am still in second stage mortal cultivation and third stage devilkin cultivation, none of my cultivation can tame a beast”

*{System: Silly boy, did you forget that am a system? I can do the impossible except raising the dead and a few other stuffs which aren't important but there are many functions I have that you do not know yet, such a simple thing? Hah! A contract can solve that. Once you contract a beast, your cultivation and your beast's cultivation will grow. It's a win win situation}

     Tang Xilong shrugged “Okay, I'll trust you, you're in me already and if you wanted to do me harm, you would have done so long ago”
     After a few hours of running, Tang Xilong finally reached the hole and was stumped “You call this a hole? It's a freaking skeleton tunnel, it's not even a hole anymore just a lower surface tunnel, I just have to step in and I'll slide right inside”

*{System: Well, it's a hole if I say it's a hole, any cave or tunnel underneath the surface is literally just a hole to me now go in while I get your contracts ready}

     Tang Xilong was bewildered “Contracts? As in more than one? I thought I was only coming to tame one beast, I can't tame two”

*{System: Okay first things first, taming a beast is different from contracting one. A tamed beast can still go out of the owner's control later but as for contracted beast, their soul is tied to their master so they live and die together. It's easier contracting a beast than taming one sometimes cause all you have to do is slam the contract onto the beast's forehead and you two are together forever although there are two types of contracts but the first one is obviously better}

     Tang Xilong asked as he carries Tang Xie'er on his back and they slowly made their way down the tunnel “Tell me the two types and I will choose for myself”

*{System: (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)⁠! Okay your choice. So the first type is a higher-lower contract, this contract lets all injuries inflicted on the owner to be passed to the beast and if the beast died, it would have no effect on the owner's capability while the second type is a master-servant contract, the injuries inflicted on the master will not be inflicted on the beast but if the master dies, the beast too dies and if the beast died, the master will be weakened for a few days or months even so I literally suggest the first type since that's what my previous hosts chose}

     Tang Xilong didn't even hesitate “I want the second one, having friends is better than having slaves”

*{System: Oh I thought you just told those nice young cultivators that you don't do friends ehh?}
