Chapter 199: Forced Contract with the Calamity Ghost Dragon
Zhou Chu was amused by this sudden question from the Calamity Ghost Dragon.
The Calamity Ghost Dragon had a somewhat magnetic female voice.
So it was a female Dragon after all.
However, after becoming a Calamity Ghost Dragon, it no longer possessed the ability to reproduce, but it would possess a much longer lifespan and still retained the habit of deep slumber.
It was just that most of its deep slumber habits were a disguise, with the primary purpose being to feed on the Soul Power of Soul Professionals to strengthen itself.
Zhou Chu couldn't help but sneer and say, "Wrong! I'm here to harvest heads!"
The Calamity Ghost Dragon seemed to be stunned for a moment, then suddenly let out a long, silver-bell-like laugh: "Tiny human, are you telling me a joke?"
Immediately following, it spread its wings, as if showing off its masterpiece, and said with a hint of ostentation: "Do you see these hundreds of vengeful spirits before you? They were all Soul Professionals who once trespassed here."
"After having their Soul Power drained by me, they became what they are now, forever trapped in this sunless place, becoming a part of my power. You will be just like them, becoming another victim in my long years."
"However... you are the first human to enter my bedchamber; perhaps you can be my first toy. I'll drain you dry once I'm tired of playing!"
The Calamity Ghost Dragon was smug, looking as if Zhou Chu had already become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Because it could sense that the Soul Power energy within the two humans before it seemed to be more vigorous than that of the previous Soul Professionals.
No, to be precise, the Soul Power within these two humans was more than all the Soul Professionals it had drained combined.
The Calamity Ghost Dragon's gaze began to turn hallucinatory; faced with the Soul Power within easy reach, how could it easily let it go?
It was truly famished and could not help but want to drain the Soul Power of these two humans before it for its own use.
Thus, the Calamity Ghost Dragon immediately dismissed the idea of treating Zhou Chu as a toy, its eyes filled with hunger, and even its massive body could not help but tremble.
"Human, I think I've changed my mind. I want to drain you dry! I want to drain you dry!"
The Calamity Ghost Dragon's voice became sharp, constantly echoing throughout the entire mine.
Seeing the state of this King-level Evil Demon before him, Zhou Chu was stunned.
This guy couldn't have taken drugs, could it? It looked like its mental state was a bit abnormal.
However, after he saw the hundreds of vengeful spirits before him and heard that remark from the Calamity Ghost Dragon just now, it seemed these hundreds of vengeful spirits were all part of its power.
Perhaps he could use this point to make this Calamity Ghost Dragon easier to handle.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chu, while confronting the Calamity Ghost Dragon, quietly transmitted Soul Power fluctuations to the vengeful spirits, attempting to awaken the residual consciousness deep within their hearts.
Some of the vengeful spirits seemed to sense something, their bodies trembling slightly.
These vengeful spirits were already deeply suppressed by the effect of the King of All Witches; facing Zhou Chu, it was like a mouse meeting a cat, or a son seeing his father—each of them was filled with fear and awe.
Being further incited by Zhou Chu's consciousness was like being given a direct order, making these vengeful spirits unable to disobey.
The Calamity Ghost Dragon felt its body shaking more and more violently, to the point that even its movements were beyond its own control, and it even inexplicably felt a trace of fear rising in its heart.
This made it notice the abnormality, because it could personally feel that these fears and awe originated from the Zhou Chu before it.
The Calamity Ghost Dragon roared angrily: "Human, what are you doing? Don't try to incite them; these lowly souls are my slaves!"
Zhou Chu saw the Calamity Ghost Dragon's black-mist-like body begin to become increasingly unstable under the influence of these vengeful spirits, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
He was right!
There was a close connection between these vengeful spirits and the Calamity Ghost Dragon; as long as the vengeful spirits were controlled well, the Calamity Ghost Dragon could be greatly affected.
Finally, a flash of clarity appeared in the eyes of a few vengeful spirits; they were no longer under the complete control of the Ghost Dragon, but instead let out angry roars toward the Calamity Ghost Dragon.
The Calamity Ghost Dragon noticed the anomaly of the vengeful spirits, and it roared in exasperation: "You lowly souls, how dare you betray me!"
The next moment, it saw its massive wings flap violently, and a dark storm swept toward those few vengeful spirits, instantly scattering them.
But this action only further incited the resistance of the other vengeful spirits; more and more vengeful spirits began to lose control and pounced toward the Calamity Ghost Dragon.
The Calamity Ghost Dragon was composed of numerous vengeful spirits' aura; whether it was its form or the power it possessed within, all originated from these vengeful spirits it enslaved.
Therefore, it did not possess a substantial body.
To put it bluntly, the Calamity Ghost Dragon, just like these vengeful spirits, was made of...
Zhou Chu, through the powerful suppression of the King of All Witches, successfully turned these vengeful spirits and made them turn their blades against their master.
As the saying goes, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.
If these hundreds of unyielding, enslaved vengeful spirits went crazy, they could tear the Calamity Ghost Dragon to shreds, perhaps even causing it to have its soul scattered.
But how could Zhou Chu let the Calamity Ghost Dragon vanish into thin air for nothing?
This was a King-level Evil Demon, after all; he had to make the other party his own contracted servant.
Otherwise, this trip to the Soul Crystal Mine would leave behind great regret.
Of the Ten Great Evil Demons under the Evil God, not one could be missing.
Time was tight, and he couldn't afford to think too much.
Zhou Chu immediately drew his Life Soul Artifact—the Dead Man's Coffin—from his back, and then offered it toward the direction of the Calamity Ghost Dragon.
"Go, my treasure!"
The Dead Man's Coffin hung high in the air, its body emitting a purple light; immediately after, the coffin lid was pushed open by the powerful energy inside with a 'bang', and a beam of light shot far away onto the Calamity Ghost Dragon's body.
This beam of light grew larger and larger, until it covered the entire massive body of the Calamity Ghost Dragon.
Then, it was as if a pair of giant hands reached out from the Dead Man's Coffin, beginning to frantically pull the Calamity Ghost Dragon inside.
This was precisely the forced contract effect of the Dead Man's Coffin.
Seeing this white coffin before it, the flames in the Calamity Ghost Dragon's eye sockets suddenly shrank, as if it sensed the approach of danger.
Thus, it began to flap its wings continuously, struggling frantically.
A dark storm raged around it as it tried to break free from the pulling of this powerful force.
However, the forced contract power of the Dead Man's Coffin was extremely powerful; the beam of light was like a tough rope, once again tightly binding its body.
"No! I will absolutely not become your slave!" The Calamity Ghost Dragon roared angrily, its voice filled with unwillingness and fear.
It opened its large mouth and spat out a dark flame formed by the convergence of black energy, rushing toward the Dead Man's Coffin, wanting to destroy this thing that posed a threat to it.
But the moment this black flame touched the Dead Man's Coffin, it was swallowed by it.
Zhou Chu had assumed this first forced contract would succeed, but to his surprise, it actually failed!
Fortunately, after the second refinement of the Life Soul Artifact, he possessed three chances for the forced contract.
Seeing the increasingly weakened Calamity Ghost Dragon, a scorching Ray Tier light flashed in Zhou Chu's eyes.
"You cannot escape!"
