Of course, Li Song had no idea what Liu Zhiyou was planning.
He was not God. How could he know everything?
When he turned around, he actually wanted to disgust Cheng Tang. It would be best if he could anger this young man to the point that he would rush up and punch him.
That way, he could return the punch.
Really.
Just a punch.
Of course, Cheng Tang would be lying on the ground and foaming from his mouth after the punch. But that would be none of his business.
Perhaps, his physical fitness was poor.
However, it was a pity that Cheng Tang only gave him a secret smile and did not come up to hit him.
It was a pity.
Turning around, Li Song's face darkened.
Zerg Five's injuries were very severe. It had fainted after signing the contract and could still maintain the current status in the Tamed Beast Space.
"This guy is so innocent. How could it suffer such an undeserved catastrophe?"
If not for him coming over on a whim, it might have died already.
It was impossible for him not to take revenge.
But in the end, it was still a matter of methods. Li Song had always been reasonable and principled.
Of course, he could kill the guy with a single slap. There were not many people that he could not kill.
However, this was the territory of the military. If he hurt people here, he would be severely punished, let alone kill people.
The crime rate kept increasing, and the number of monsters at night kept increasing. At this time, everyone was very tense, and any small action would become a huge issue in the eyes of others.
Sometimes, the entire song would be ruined before a single note could be played properly.
However, revenge was a trivial matter. The most important thing now was to heal Zerg Five first!
Li Song went to the registration office while he was thinking.
He was still a man who was swift and decisive. His clothes were neat and straight, and he looked meticulous.
"Name?"
"Li Song." As he spoke, Li Song handed over his identification card.
"What kind of Tamed Beast did you adopt?"
After registering the basic information, the man raised his head and asked with a smile when he did not find any negative information on the website.
Li Song thought for a while and answered, "Zerg Five."
"What?" This time, the man was interested, "The innermost one?"
Li Song nodded, "Yes."
"Amazing." The man clicked his tongue as he asked: "Your initial Tamed Beast?"
Li Song: "Abyssal Tauren."
The man's hand paused momentarily as he looked up at Li Song discreetly.
"Home address?" The man added, "In order to ensure that you are responsible for the beast that we hand over, we might arrange for a follow-up visit."
Li Song did not doubt his words, "West Flat Road in the Radiant Crystal district…"
These so-called visits were usually just empty words. Who would have so much effort?
When he heard the words 'Radiant Crystal district', the man's gaze slightly changed. However, he still said without batting an eyelid, "That's all we need to know. You can take the Tamed Beast away now."
"However, you must nurture it well. We will conduct an interview later on. If the Tamed Beast is abused, we can forcibly retrieve it from you."
Li Song nodded in agreement, such reminders were necessary.
He then exited and opened the navigation map on his mobile phone.
He left in a hurry.
...
Not long after Li Song left, a call reached Zhao Chengfeng's office.
After talking about Li Song, there was a long silence.
"How many people have we found that are from the Radiant Crystal district and own a Tauren?"
"Just one."
"Moreover, his residence isn't far from Huimin Residential Area…"
Zhao Chengfeng said, "Follow up on the matter but don't alert him for now."
"…Yes."
After hanging up, Zhao Chengfeng made a call. After giving a few instructions, he sent Li Song's identity to the other party.
"I shall see exactly who you are."
With the restriction order lifted, he could now free up his hands to investigate this mysterious person.
This mysterious person was still ranked number one in the world!
At this time, the second ranker on the world rankings had already reached Level 6. This was already an astonishing speed in their eyes, but he was still suppressed by that person!
He did not expect anyone in Shanghai to be able to level up so quickly except for the person in the Radiant Crystal district who they left untouched.
Therefore, what Li Song did not know was…
Not long after he left, two groups of people followed him from afar.
The second group was obviously sent by Liu Zhiyou…
Li Song could never have thought that he would be targeted just by reporting some basic information.
After a busy afternoon, when night was about to fall, Li Song arrived home.
After closing the door, Li Song summoned Bull Two and Zerg Five.
Even though the house he rented was big enough, the living room was still a little crowded when the two of them appeared together.
As usual, Bull Two was prepared to lie down on the sofa the moment it came out. However, when it was about to lift its leg, it saw Zerg Five who was lying on the ground unconscious.
It blinked first and touched it gently with its hand.
???
"Moo!" (What!)
It stared at Li Song with wide eyes.
When did you bring Fifth Brother here behind my back?!
However, after recovering from its shock, it discovered that its fifth brother was currently unconscious, and its injuries were extremely severe.
Bang!
The bull's blood-red eyes suddenly emitted a murderous aura. The Abyssal Aura exploded, and a wave of air appeared out of thin air.
Who did it?!
"Don't worry."
"I'll treat it now."
Li Song consoled. Zerg Five's status in his team was very special, so although it was the fifth one, it was very respected. All the beasts had to respectfully call it Fifth Brother.
Even their arrogant boss was the same.
Bull Two calmed down when it heard Li Song's voice. It stopped lying on the sofa and squatted beside Zerg Five to watch quietly.
On the way back, Li Song had secretly stuffed a few beast cores into Zerg Five's mouth. In addition, the Tamed Beast Space had the ability to alleviate injuries. Right now, Zerg Five was still unconscious, but a large part of the reason was due to the consumption of the Blood Pact.
It was also because of the Blood Pact that Li Song's vitality slowly flowed towards the Zerg Five.
Li Song took a drop of blood from Zerg Five's body and stuffed his hand into its mouthpart. With a slight movement of his hand, his finger was pierced and a drop of blood squeezed out.
Buzz.
There was a ripple.
A Six-pointed Star Array with a bronze aura appeared and wrapped around Li Song and Zerg Five's blood. The two drops of blood instantly fused into one. Shortly after, the Six-pointed Star Array split into two and pierced into the body of the man and beast.
At that time, it had fainted after using the Blood Pact, so Zerg Five did not have the time to exchange life force with him.
Now, Li Song carried out this process.
A familiar feeling overwhelmed him.
His blood seemed to be boiling. Streams of power surged out and instantly fused into Li Song's body. However, most of the power had fused into Li Song's bones and skin.
In a very short period of time, Li Song's bones seemed to be covered by a layer of metal-colored light membrane, as if they were tempered steel!
His skin was also covered with a layer of faint luster, and his muscles had become more angular. It looked like he had become harder.
A light tap could even produce a crisp sound. After relaxing, it became normal soft skin.
At this moment, even if an ordinary person were to slash him with a knife, there would not be any wounds on his body!
On the ground, Zerg Five's body was also gradually changing. Waves of energy were repairing the wounds on its body, and its injuries were rapidly healing. Its aura was also gradually calming down.
An aura that shared life and death was connected to Zerg Five.
This aura was connected to Bull Two who was squatting beside it.
While Zerg Five was still unconscious, Li Song started to pay attention to the changes in his body.
Within Li Song's body, the two Blood Pacts repelled each other and finally separated into two individual parts.
Crack!
The aura of shared life and death between Bull Two and Zerg Five was severed.
Li Song had already expected this. This was the case in the game.
He looked at his system interface.
As expected, he saw [Blood Pact - Altered]. The pact had changed.
The Blood Pact itself possessed a noble aura, and every one of them was unique.
Even the rules of the world did not expect that there would be two Legendary-rank and above Tamed Beasts willing to form a blood pact with the same human!
Legendary-rank and above Tamed Beasts all had noble blood flowing in their bodies. This had nothing to do with Tamed Beasts themselves. If it was a program, then at the bottom of the hierarchy, there was a code that said, "Other bloodlines are not allowed to coexist"!
If it forced its way in, not only would it not make it stronger, it was more likely that different bloodlines would break the balance of the body and cause the connection to shatter!
This was an irreversible process.
Therefore, in order to prevent another bloodline from entering its body through the Blood Pact, the Blood Pact itself would be directly severed!
To put it simply, Bull Two's life force would not be transmitted into Zerg Five's body through Li Song, and Zerg Five's life force would not be transmitted into Bull Two's body through Li Song.
The Blood Pact became a one-way contract. Li Song had tried it once in the game's instance dungeon. When one of the Tamed Beasts died, the other contract would take the lead to protect Li Song's life and destroy the contract one-sidedly.
Damn it, was this what a capitalist would do?
How would a Legendary-rank Tamed Beast agree to such a losing deal?
However, they never expected that there was something in this world called a cheat…
He started to look at the attributes of Zerg Five in the system.
[Tamed Beast: Titan Spider - Machine]
[Race: Giant, Mechanical]
[Quality: High-Grade]
[Level: 1]
[Evolution Level: Infant]
[Giant Titan Spiders love peace. They often carry the forest on their backs.]
[This is a Titan Spider whose data has been altered. There is almost infinite potential hidden in its body!]
After becoming a Tamed Beast, he would be able to appraise it.
Indeed.
Zerg Five was actually a Titan Spider.
A legendary monster!
It was so rare that it made one's hair stand on end!
However, its strength was extremely terrifying. When it reached its peak, its body was as large as a small mountain.
Li Song had obtained it from an NPC in the game. Therefore, this might be the reason why Zerg Five was summoned by someone as their initial Tamed Beast.
His other companions were all captured from the wilderness, so it was naturally impossible for them to be summoned by others.
But this was good too. At least Li Song had met Zerg Five earlier.
As for the others, they were obviously not going to be found in the same way…
Otherwise, with their potential, it was impossible for Li Song to not be able to see them on the Tamed Beast Ranking. As for Zerg Five, he had altered its data too much. The system could not even identify it, so there was naturally no ranking.
Of course.
Clearly, the current Zerg Five was no longer limited to the Legendary-rank!
In the game, he had also raised it to the Mythical-rank [Titan Spider - War Machine]!
"Buzz…!"
At this moment.
Zerg Five, who was lying on the ground, flashed with mechanical red light in its eyes as it slowly woke up.
