Change jobs, pet beast!

A clear and pure young voice suddenly rang out, like a mountain stream flowing over bluestone, transparent and without turbidity.

Jiang Mo charged from the right side of the battlefield, his beast-transformed palms activating, exuding murderous intent, and headed straight for the first dying little giant-winged skuas.

"Woof woof woof!"

The Fire Hound, engulfed in flames and switching to mad dog mode, charged into the battlefield from the left, a fireball in its mouth, aimed at the giant skuas, and angrily spat it.

"Whoosh!"

Faced with the sudden change, the mother giant skuas's eyes turned fierce, her sharp beak clenched, her feathers stood on end, and she was filled with uncontrollable rage and resentment.

But it ultimately made the right choice: abandoning the hunt for the little black mud penguin, it used its wings to block and endure the fireballs, then used the momentum of the explosion to protect its chicks and charge towards Jiang Mo.

"Woof woof woof woof!!"

(╬◣д◢)

The trolls barked wildly, and we relentlessly pursued them.

Just kidding, when I, the Dog King, strike, how could there be no bloodshed? If you hurt the little one, the old one will skin me alive!

【Burning Flame Impact】

The Fire Hound growled, and crimson flames surged from its body. In the next instant, it shot out like a burning bullet, striking the soft spot at the base of the giant skuas's wing.

"Bang!!"

The giant skuas, fiercely protective of its young, never expected that a wild dog could leap over thirty meters and intercept it from the air.

The flames scorched the silver feathers, like countless red-hot iron needles piercing flesh, and the smell of burning spread rapidly.

The giant skuas suddenly tilted to one side, its momentum was interrupted, and it almost fell to the ground.

Jiang Mo seized the opportunity, shouted, and unleashed his arm strength, slamming his giant palm down from the air. A burst of fierce brute force exploded, instantly snapping the neck of the baby skuas.

The mother giant skuas, who witnessed this scene, had her vertical pupils completely covered in blood, and her wild cries were shrill and desperate, filled with an unyielding hatred.

It suddenly folded its wings and swooped down with a death-defying gait, every part of its body radiating a furious rage that seemed ready to tear everything apart.

The inherent right of workers: to lift heavy loads!

With just one deep breath, his entire body seemed to gain hundreds of pounds, like a giant boulder crashing down on Jiang Mo!

"Young master, be careful!"

An old crane appeared on the battlefield, holding a lotus leaf bag in one hand and a handful of glittering powder in the other.

At that moment, Jiang Mo's eyes were as still as a cold pool, and his expression was so firm that it was almost resolute.

Ground-based attacks are inherently disadvantageous against air-based attacks.

Moreover, he did not have a contracted pet beast; he was involved in the battle in human form, and the dangers involved were beyond words.

but……

Having missed this little mud penguin, Jiang Mo didn't know if he could find another top-tier mountain beast in Green Crow Ridge.

I'd rather burn myself to the bone for a chance opportunity than live a mediocre life.

If only we could block this attack...

As long as we can withstand this attack...

Jiang Mo unleashed the full power of his beast-like palms.

As his skin was covered with a layer of light blue beast patterns, his muscles and bones bulged, and his hands expanded and widened again. He then crossed them to block the attack above his head, fiercely meeting the attack head-on.

"Bang!!!"

The two forces collided, creating a surge of air, and a trickle of blood instantly escaped from the corner of Jiang Mo's mouth.

The bathhouse attendant's level 2 power, while enhancing physical fitness and strength, is indeed no match for a one-star pet of the same type.

In a life-or-death moment, Jiang Mo suddenly released his force, using the shockwave from the shattering of his beast-transformed palms to propel his body backward, successfully escaping danger.

"They survived!"

"Old Crane, the rest is up to you!"

Jiang Mo wrapped her body in a deep blue water snake to help offset some of the impact and wash away the bloodstains from the corner of her mouth.

Looking closer, the mother giant skuas, who had fallen from the sky like a madwoman, blasted through the swamp, creating a huge crater in which she herself was trapped, unable to escape for a short time.

"Waaah..."

The lotus leaf package was tossed to the ground, and the fire hound swallowed it whole. Crimson flames surged wildly from beneath its fur, its canine teeth barked, and its howls shook the heavens.

Fiery salad, enhanced with fire element!

While they are bound, we must nip them in the bud!

The fire hound gripped the mud tightly with its limbs, and the crimson flames around its body no longer scattered, but instead frantically contracted and condensed towards its mouth and nose.

As his chest and abdomen heaved violently, the fire element within his body was also gathered, and a deep rumble emanated from his throat.

The next moment, the Fire Hound suddenly raised its head, and a deep red fireball the size of a millstone, swirling with raging flames, shot forward, slicing through the air and instantly drying up the mud in its path, its power terrifying.

On the other side, the giant skuas finally flipped itself over, flapping its wings to try to avoid the attack, its feathers whipping up a gale.

A deafening explosion!

The fireball struck and exploded instantly, sending a scorching cloud of fire, ten meters high, soaring into the sky.

The giant skuas let out a shrill cry, its massive body struggling desperately in the flames, its aura violent and chaotic.

But no matter how much it struggled, its wings were burned in pieces, and ash flew everywhere. With each flap of its broken wings, it convulsed violently, as if it were nailed to purgatory and was on the verge of death.

"Little guy."

Jiang Mo, with his back to the flames, squatted in front of the little black mud penguin, extending one hand, palm up:

"I don't know if you can understand me, but I mean no harm, you should be able to tell."

"What I want to say is that this world is sometimes so cruel, especially in the natural ecosystem. Weakness is the original sin. If you don't want to become the bottom of the food chain, you have to do everything you can to become stronger."

"Come work for me."

"Regardless of how your companions view you, to me you are priceless. Together, we can create a legend!"

As he spoke, a faint white light appeared in Jiang Mo's palm. It was his natal pet, "Farmer," which he had awakened after becoming a Master.

"Mud chirp..."

The little black mud penguin was bewildered. As far as the eye could see, its dead companions lay in tragic grievances, while its surviving companions had all vanished without a trace.

The world is vast, but its only companion is mud.

Oh no……

And what about this big guy blocking the way?

The chieftain seemed to have taught the other little penguins that these tall, strong creatures, free of mud and algae, were called "two-legged beasts."

They are dangerous, extremely dangerous, more dangerous than big birds, big fish, and big spring bugs.

but……

But he defeated the big bird.

He didn't harm it.

Would the clan chief lie?

The little black mud penguin tries to find the figure it once revered.

But then it suddenly remembered that the clan leader was dead.

(ಥ﹏ಥ)

"#&%&#%&……"

What are the two-legged creatures saying?

Like a little black mud penguin that has buried all its sadness and sorrow deep in its heart, it tries its best to listen.

Can't understand.

But it seems... it seems there was no malice involved...

As if by some strange twist of fate, the little black mud penguin suddenly placed its tiny wings on a large palm.

Those dull, lifeless eyes suddenly lit up with tiny, strange lights.

So warm.

Even in the cold, muddy ground, a spring breeze would occasionally blow.

"Whoosh!"

The shimmering white light slowly melted away.

A powerful yet gentle force flowed into its body, causing the little black mud penguin's limbs to tremble. Its tense body slowly relaxed, and its gaze towards the two-legged creatures held a touch more affection than before.

"Heaven and earth bear witness, the sun and moon bear witness."

"I, Jiang Mo, hereby pledge my life to my natal pet, whose profession is 'Farmer,' through the Heavenly Soul as my medium, and I hereby enter into this covenant: from this day forward, I will live and prosper together with my natal pet, and never betray it."

The young man's voice was strong and resonant, the echo lingering long after.

"Muddy chirp!"

The little black mud penguin suddenly raised its head, its round black eyes shining brightly, its whole body overflowing with unconcealed joy.

Jiang Mo smiled and said:

"I bestow upon you your true name—Niwan."

"At this point..."

...The contract is complete!
