Chapter 258: Are You Even Worthy of Being My Teammate (Second update, requesting everything)

Several miles away, Li Zhangsheng pointed in a direction, riding Aixi as he flew rapidly in pursuit of the location of the Three-Headed Snake.

Logically speaking, the Three-Headed Snake had already dissolved the Temporary Contract, and Li Zhangsheng should have been unable to sense it, but Li Zhangsheng had long since made preparations, placing Mental Parasitism on the Three-Headed Snake and his other Temporary Spirit Pets.

Mental Parasitism: Condense a seed of Mental Power to attach to others or Spirit Beasts; as long as both parties are within a certain range, one can sense the specific location of the other.

Without a doubt, this is a Secret Technique very suitable for tracking; the Three-Headed Snake does not cultivate Mental Power, so naturally, it did not know that it had been subjected to the Mental Parasitism Secret Technique by Li Zhangsheng.

With Li Zhangsheng's strength, as long as it is not dispelled, Mental Parasitism can last for a full half-month without dissipating, and as long as it is within a hundred-mile range, he can sense it.

Therefore, even though the Three-Headed Snake forcibly dissolved the Temporary Contract, because the Mental Parasitism had not yet dissipated, Li Zhangsheng could easily sense the specific location of the Three-Headed Snake.

The Three-Headed Snake could not escape from the palm of his hand!

Due to entering a combat state, the cyan "Wind Cloak" on Aixi's body became more and more numerous; four minutes later, it stacked to five layers, which increased its speed by a full factor of two. Added to the amplification of the Xun Wind Bead, this allowed its speed to reach the extreme; except for Divine Beasts skilled in speed, it was almost unrivaled among its peers.

Roar—

Hearing the tiger roar drawing closer and closer, the Three-Headed Snake fleeing in front became increasingly panicked, but it was not a fool and changed its direction slightly.

Unfortunately, no matter how the Three-Headed Snake changed its direction, it still could not shake off Aixi's pursuit.

After a few minutes passed, Aixi had already blocked the path in front of the Three-Headed Snake.

Just upon seeing Aixi, and Li Zhangsheng on Aixi's back with killing intent in his eyes, the Three-Headed Snake could not help but be struck dumb with fear, collapsing to the ground, not even daring to move.

The Three-Headed Snake knew it had failed, and it did not know what punishment it would receive.

At this very moment, whether it was Li Zhangsheng, Aixi, or Kailan, the eyes with which they looked at the Three-Headed Snake were all filled with dissatisfaction and killing intent.

The Three-Headed Snake's actions could, to a certain extent, be called a betrayal.

"Kailan, do you want to hit it? Hmm, it doesn't matter if you beat it to death!" From the moment the Three-Headed Snake forcibly dissolved the contract, Li Zhangsheng had already removed it from his Demon Pet team.

If he forgave the Three-Headed Snake and continued to let it stay in the Demon Pet team, then what would the other Demon Pets think? Could they still be as united with the Three-Headed Snake as they were before?

The answer is negative; the Three-Headed Snake is like a rat dropping, and Li Zhangsheng could not possibly put it back into the pot of soup. That would be irresponsible to the other Demon Pets, and also irresponsible to himself.

This time, the Three-Headed Snake ran away and forcibly dissolved the contract during training; what about next time? If they encountered a powerful enemy, and the Three-Headed Snake deliberately slacked off or even intentionally betrayed its teammates, at that time, it would definitely cause losses to Li Zhangsheng, and might even cost him and the other Demon Pets their lives.

Although the Temporary Contract has many advantages, its constraints on Demon Pets are ultimately too small to restrict powerful Demon Pets.

Words spoken are like spilled water; if Kailan really wanted to beat the Three-Headed Snake to death, Li Zhangsheng would at most feel a sting in his heart—after all, a Superior Quality Three-Headed Snake is worth at least four digits of Soul Crystals.

However, compared to Kailan, what does the Three-Headed Snake count for? As long as Kailan is happy, that is enough. Moreover, he is not currently lacking resources; once the Starry Sky Auction House gets on the right track, he likely will never have to worry about cultivation resources again.

"Forget it, I'm not in the mood; let's leave it to Aixi!" Kailan shook her head. The moment she caught up to the Three-Headed Snake, her previously disappointed mood returned to normal.

Hearing this, Li Zhangsheng flipped down to the ground and said to Aixi: "Aixi, help me teach it a good lesson, just don't beat it to death!"

Roar—

Without any hesitation, Aixi pounced toward the Three-Headed Snake, appearing in front of it almost instantly. Before the Three-Headed Snake could react, it instantly bit off one of its heads.

Hiss—

The Three-Headed Snake let out a painful sound, but it had self-awareness and knew it could not beat Aixi, so it had to reveal a pleading look.

"Aixi, for the sake of us being teammates before, spare me!" The Three-Headed Snake did not dare to resist and began to beg for mercy in the Spirit Beast language.

"Teammates? You are worthy of being my teammate!" Aixi responded with contempt, its body turning nimbly to instantly change position, and under the Three-Headed Snake's terrified gaze, it bit off its second head.

Aixi was not yet satisfied and continued to abuse the Three-Headed Snake, leaving a large number of wounds on its body. In Aixi's eyes, the Three-Headed Snake had betrayed Li Zhangsheng, so it naturally could not let it off easily.

However, Aixi never bit off its final head.

If all three heads were bitten off, no matter how strong the Three-Headed Snake's vitality was, only death would await it.

Li Zhangsheng wanted a living Three-Headed Snake; it just so happened that the Starry Sky Auction House lacked a grand finale item. Since the Three-Headed Snake could no longer stay by his side, let it exert its final remaining value.

Thinking about it, with the Three-Headed Snake's excellence, it would definitely be able to attract a large number of Monster Tamers.

Bang—

After enduring another Crushing Claw from Aixi, the Three-Headed Snake collapsed powerlessly into a pool of blood.

Very quickly, Li Zhangsheng completed the Temporary Contract and put the Three-Headed Snake into a Monster Pet Bag, preparing to place the Three-Headed Snake in the Starry Sky Auction House after returning, to serve as the grand finale item for the auction in half a month.

The disturbance caused by the Three-Headed Snake was only a small matter to Li Zhangsheng. Although auctioning the Three-Headed Snake would cause his strength to suffer, it was within a controllable range, because Roundy could largely replace the Three-Headed Snake's position.

In a short half-month, Roundy had become a Mid-Rank Beast. Although it was not as good as the Three-Headed Snake in terms of realm, due to its advantages in quality, race, and Bloodline, Roundy had greatly shortened the gap with the Three-Headed Snake and could already be considered a qualified meat shield.

With Roundy's advantages, as long as it was given more time, it would soon be able to overtake the Three-Headed Snake.

It was not just Roundy; the Emperor Crocodile could also replace the Three-Headed Snake to a certain extent. Moreover, Li Zhangsheng already had the idea of strengthening the Emperor Crocodile, though he could not put it into practice for the time being.

All in all, the Three-Headed Snake was not an irreplaceable Demon Pet.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng returned to the Starry Sky Auction House and, in the basement specially used for holding Spirit Beasts for consignment, locked the Three-Headed Snake into a specially made Steel Cage.

This batch of cages was forged with special craftsmanship and was incomparably hard; inside, there were also Restrictions specially designed to imprison Spirit Beasts. Spirit Beasts locked inside would feel weak all over and be unable to condense energy.

Of course, this was limited to Spirit Beasts below the Elite level; to imprison Spirit Beasts above the Elite level, better cages were needed.
