Chapter 200: Swearing by the Toe of the God of Nature

The vengeful spirits surged toward the Calamity Ghost Dragon like a tide; although their individual strength was inferior to the Calamity Ghost Dragon, they were numerous and were all filled with a strong sense of resistance at this moment.

They emitted shrill cries, continuously striking the Calamity Ghost Dragon's body of dark mist, making it increasingly difficult for the Calamity Ghost Dragon to concentrate on resisting the pull of the Dead Man's Coffin.

Under the second forced contract of the Dead Man's Coffin, the Calamity Ghost Dragon's body was like a piece of plastic being torn apart, making its resistance gradually feel powerless.

Its struggle became weaker and weaker, and the body composed of dark mist also began to grow thin.

Zhou Chu blinked, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled into an arc: "Is it going to succeed?"

However, just as the Calamity Ghost Dragon was about to be pulled into the Dead Man's Coffin, it suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar.

Its body began to swell, and the Dark Aura surged madly, shaking the surrounding vengeful spirits into disarray.

Unexpectedly, this Calamity Ghost Dragon had actually sacrificed a portion of its power to erupt with a powerful force of resistance.

What on earth could make it possess such powerful resistance?

At this moment, the Calamity Ghost Dragon's massive head was seen looking toward the ground with difficulty, its eyes filled with a trace of reluctance and unwillingness.

Zhou Chu followed its gaze and looked there, only to see a black oval Crystal lying quietly amidst the shattered Soul Crystal Stone.

This is... a Dragon egg?

Seeing this Crystal, Zhou Chu's pupils suddenly shrank.

Unexpectedly, hidden beneath the Calamity Ghost Dragon's body was actually a Dragon egg.

It is a pity that the Calamity Ghost Dragon is no longer a true member of the Black Dragon clan; with its current physical characteristics, it is already unable to hatch this Dragon egg.

This is just like having undergone a sterilization surgery.

The current Calamity Ghost Dragon is merely an evil object formed by the gathering of the energy of numerous vengeful spirits.

But it is clear that this Dragon egg is of extraordinary significance to it.

Zhou Chu instantly understood the reason for the Calamity Ghost Dragon's desperate resistance.

"Wanting me to become your contract servant, absolutely impossible!" The Calamity Ghost Dragon's voice was filled with determination, and it resisted the pull of the Dead Man's Coffin with all its might.

"You think..."

The Calamity Ghost Dragon glared at Zhou Chu, but at this moment, it saw that the other party's gaze was already firmly fixed on that Dragon egg.

An ominous premonition instantly surged into its heart.

"No! Don't, I beg you, don't harm my only offspring!"

The Calamity Ghost Dragon roared madly, its eyes full of despair, and in the end, its tone even carried a hint of pleading.

It is clear that this Dragon egg is the Calamity Ghost Dragon's only obsession.

Although it is unknown how long it has been hiding in this Soul Crystal Mine, during this period, it must have been trying every possible way to hatch this Dragon egg.

It is a pity that no matter how hard it tried, it was ultimately all in vain.

Since that is the case, perhaps this Dragon egg can be used to make the Calamity Ghost Dragon voluntarily give up resistance.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chu said: "If you stop resisting and obediently become my contract servant, I guarantee I will not harm it, and I will help you hatch this Dragon egg."

Hearing Zhou Chu's words, the Calamity Ghost Dragon's body shook slightly, a trace of hesitation flashed in its eyes, and it began to struggle internally.

It clearly did not quite believe Zhou Chu's words, but that Dragon egg was simply too important to it.

After a brief hesitation, the Calamity Ghost Dragon slowly stopped struggling, and the Dark Aura gradually receded.

It looked at Zhou Chu with vigilant eyes and said in a low voice: "If you dare to lie to me, even if my soul is scattered, I will not let you go."

Zhou Chu felt a surge of joy, knowing there was a chance.

He immediately responded: "Rest assured, I swear by the toe of the God of Nature that I will definitely help you hatch the Dragon egg."

At this time, the God of Nature said in an angry tone: "Zhou Chu, what do you mean? Why use my toe as the basis for your oath? Are you trying to die?"

"Besides, the Dragon clan believes in the God of Storms, not me."

Zhou Chu smiled and said: "What about the God of Storms? Didn't you, the God of Nature, also create the wind element? Without wind, what business does that God of Storms have?"

In fact, this sentence was equivalent to a disguised compliment to the God of Nature.

After hearing this, the God of Nature felt that what Zhou Chu said made sense, and felt even more overjoyed in his heart. He coughed and said: "Hmm, I will spare you this time."

However, the Calamity Ghost Dragon did not care what Zhou Chu used to swear.

To tell the truth, it no longer had the strength to resist the aggressive Dead Man's Coffin before it; becoming this human's contract servant was already a foregone conclusion.

At this moment, it had no other choice but to believe this human's nonsense.

"Rest assured, I will definitely keep my word! After you become my contract servant, you will gain a higher room for growth, and you will no longer be oppressed by evil gods, and your offspring will also receive a better destination!"

Zhou Chu continued to guarantee to the somewhat uneasy Calamity Ghost Dragon.

Seeing Zhou Chu's firm and sincere gaze, the Calamity Ghost Dragon could only choose to believe the other party in the end. The next second, it stopped resisting and was directly taken back by the Dead Man's Coffin.

After absorbing the Calamity Ghost Dragon, the lid of the Dead Man's Coffin was closed again, and then it flew back to the coffin bag behind Zhou Chu on its own.

Another King-level contract servant obtained!

This trip to the Soul Crystal Mine was ultimately not in vain; what should have been obtained was obtained.

Zhou Chu felt a surge of excitement in his heart, seeing that the Calamity Ghost Dragon had already quietly entered an Emperor Tomb, waiting for the reshaping to be completed after 24 hours.

Just at this moment, the vengeful spirits all around began to gather toward Zhou Chu, as if they were expressing their gratitude to him, and even more as if they were saying goodbye to him.

The vast majority of the vengeful spirits here had been tortured by the Calamity Ghost Dragon for too long, and most had lost their self-awareness.

Therefore, the moment the main body was subdued by Zhou Chu, these vengeful spirits turned into wisps of vengeful spirit energy and slowly disappeared into the air.

As for the ten Field Officer-level officers from before, they were vengeful spirits that had just been controlled by the Calamity Ghost Dragon and still retained some of their original consciousness.

They were seen standing neatly in front of Zhou Chu, their illusory faces all carrying gratitude and admiration.

But in the end, like those vengeful spirits, their bodies slowly dissipated and gradually disappeared into the air.

Seeing this scene, while Zhou Chu felt emotional, he also held a moment of silence for the sacrifice of these ten officers.

Regardless, they had heroically sacrificed themselves for the future of the Shenxia Kingdom, and they should be given a proper burial after death.

Zhou Chu was not in a hurry to find materials to advance his Life Soul Artifact; instead, he found the remains of the ten officers among the white bones, wrapped them up separately with compressed storage bags, and finally put them into his Zhanfu Chucun Kongjian.

As for those white bones, just let the Military Department send people to handle them.

After finishing all this, Zhou Chu first came up to that Dragon egg and leaned down to pick it up.

As the Dragon egg entered his hands, a cold feeling carrying a strange fluctuation was transmitted to his palms.

Logically speaking, the Emperor Tomb could meet the conditions for hatching this Dragon egg.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chu tried placing the Dragon egg into an empty Emperor Tomb, but received a prompt: "Contract Material mismatch, unable to reshape."
