At the beginning, I traveled through the wilderness, and I controlled the beasts to survive...

The fishy smell filled every corner of the mouth.

The red viscous liquid, like a ball of fire, flowed down the esophagus and into the stomach.

His body shook, and for a moment he felt an unbearable heat all over. A huge blood-red Pixiu shadow appeared before his eyes, roaring angrily towards the sky.

My vision turned black and red, covered with countless gray spots, and my ears seemed to be filled with the continuous roars of monsters.

If someone were here, they would definitely notice that Han Ning's face was extremely pale, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, as if he was enduring great pain.

Time passed, as if a long time had passed, and yet it seemed like a moment.

He suddenly felt his mental power rising infinitely, and a strange, foggy and twisted space appeared in his mind.

The spiritual power from the amethyst world and this strange foggy space formed two special areas, which were clearly separated and did not interfere with each other, but also did not merge with each other.

On the left, there is a starry sky scene like the Four Symbols Meditation Method.

On the right, there is a surging sea of ​​blood, like hell, giving people a feeling of despair.

The ceremony had just been completed when a murderous aura inexplicably emerged from the sea of ​​blood and rushed into the depths of his consciousness.

But the next second, it was torn into pieces by the mental power from the Four Symbols Space.

As the murderous and bloodthirsty aura disappeared.

His originally distorted expression suddenly opened his eyes, replaced by a comfortable expression.

The ceremony is not over yet!

He recalled the contents of the ceremony, put his finger between the eyebrows of the puppy in his arms, and sketched a strange pattern in his mind.

"Wow~"

Along with the faint cry of the puppy, Han Ning suddenly discovered that a pale mark like a ghost suddenly appeared in his spiritual world of the sea of ​​blood.

When the mark was formed, he felt an inexplicable connection with the puppy. In the vagueness, he could feel its breath of life and emotional fluctuations.

It seemed as if a mysterious energy was projected from the puppy into his body through a magical bond, feeding back into his brain and body.

Then, the energy was transferred from his body into the puppy's body.

It is not much different from the previous situation of contracting other soul beasts.

"The total amount of spiritual power has increased slightly, to about level 2.5. Although these two kinds of spiritual power are incompatible with each other in space, they can be integrated together when used to increase spiritual strength. Magical!"

He stretched out his hand and tried to use his Level 2 ability to gather spiritual energy.

Snapped!

As the bright white starlight gathered together, tiny flashes of dark red electric light appeared on the periphery.

The little dog at his feet has also undergone significant changes.

The originally yellowish hair turned into a bone-like white.

His entire body was white, and his eyes were slightly red, giving people a weird and mysterious feeling.

Its size grew from a small puppy the size of two palms to the size of an adult native dog.

For some reason, when Han Ning saw the puppy in front of him, he had a strange thought that it looked like Ayu in the form of Furui.

"Wow~"

After signing the contract, the puppy's intimacy with Han Ning increased further. It kept pulling at his trouser legs, sticking out its tongue, and trying to get into its owner's arms.

Han Ning picked it up by the waist, rubbed its furry belly with his right hand, and said with a smile: "Since you have become a member of our family, I will give you a name."

"Well... you're still a little sister with white hair. How about calling you Shuangyu?"

The puppy didn't understand what Shuangyu meant. After Han Ning called her several times, it vaguely understood that its master was calling it.

"Frost Jade!"

"Wang Wang!"

Xiao Shuangyu then responded happily.

"hiss……"

Egg Pancake blinked his snake eyes and looked at Shuangyu with some curiosity.

Clearly, the owner had just signed a contract with it, but Egg Pancake didn't feel any special connection with Frost Jade.

Normally, it could feel the presence of sister Yinyi, brother Xiaofeican, sister Feilin, and brother Huaimiao!

As the contracted soul beasts of the beastmaster, the soul beasts also have spiritual links and can communicate with each other.

"Hiss?" The egg pancake expressed confusion.

"Hmm... I don't quite understand. Maybe the place of your contract is different. Anyway, if we want to become stronger in the future, we have to rely on this little sister Shuangyu."

Han Ning put the omelet on Shuangyu's dog head and patted the two little guys gently.

"By the way, Shuangyu's spiritual energy fluctuations are probably at the entry level now, but I don't know what her qualifications are. I really have to start from scratch."

The panel went into hibernation and lacked identification function. He didn't know the specific information about Frost Jade for a while and could only rely on himself to test it.

He went to the bedroom and found a gaming-related doll that the company had previously distributed for free and placed it on the floor of the small living room.

Just like when he trained Yin Yi, he pointed at the little doll and said, "Shuangyu, release the spirit skills you know and attack the little doll."

"Wang!"

Shuangyu swung her tail and ran to a position about two meters in front of the doll.

A faint spiritual energy fluctuation was heard.

Three flickering white flames suddenly appeared around the puppy's bone-white body.

One of the white flames, guided by Frost Jade, floated up, drew a graceful arc, and landed on the doll.

Wow~

The cat-sized doll was instantly swallowed by the white flame.

Under Han Ning's gaze, it quickly turned into black ashes.

"This flame... doesn't seem to just burn, and the temperature isn't high either."

He walked over to the doll fragments that still had embers on them, reached out his hand and touched the embers.

In an instant, the flame that was about to disappear jumped to his fingertips like a shark that had smelled blood.

"Hiss... It also has the effect of burning the spirit. Judging from this soul skill alone, Shuangyu's aptitude should not be low."

Feeling the mental power in his mind slightly reduced by 0.000001%, Han Ning moved his mind and extinguished the flame.

"Is there anything else?"

He turned to look at the puppy beside him whose three flames had recovered again, and smiled.

"Wow~"

Frost Jade raised her head, put her paw to her mouth and blew gently.

Several streaks of white flame burned on its sharp claws.

Then, it stood up, waved it twice in the air, leaving behind a faint afterimage of flame, and then it fell to the ground on all fours with a very adorable movement.

"Any more?"

"Wang~"

Shuangyu thought about it and squatted there with some frustration.

Seeing Shuangyu was so powerful, Danbing took the initiative to stick out his tongue and touch Han Ning's neck again and again: "Hiss!!"

Danbing said that he had never been so weak in the Amethyst World, even when he was just born!

It really wants to become stronger quickly and go find sister Yinyi and brother Xiaofeican!

"Emm... Egg Pancake, don't be anxious. I don't know how to help you become stronger for the time being. Let's wait until we have initially integrated into this place, and then we will look for a way, okay?" Han Ning touched Egg Pancake's little head and comforted him.

The beast taming styles here and Zijing's are completely incompatible. If Han Ning wants to make Egg Pancake stronger, he estimates that he may have to wait until the panel wakes up or explore more information.

"Hiss~" The omelet drooped weakly. It was very sensible and did not disturb Han Ning anymore, but the feeling of being weak made it very depressed!

Han Ning was helpless about this for the time being and turned his attention back to Shuangyu.

"Strictly speaking, I have mastered a kind of white flame, which I will temporarily name the Ghost Flame."

The nature of the flame is very similar to the flame released by the Star Dream Unicorn. It is a kind of undead flame. Although its destructive power is not as high as that of normal elemental flames, it is weird and is something that most living creatures are afraid of.

"The race name of the Frost Jade, temporarily called the Phantom Fire Dog."

Han Ning estimated that Shuangyu's qualifications should be D or C.

Just buy a puppy from the market and perform the transformation ritual according to the instructions on the Pixiu jade pendant, and you can actually turn an ordinary small pastoral dog into such a powerful soul beast.

Han Ning had to look at the inheritance of this jade pendant with a higher regard.

The characteristics of a culinary expert were taken away, and the color of the jade pendant in his arms dimmed. When he touched it lightly, a series of information about Sequence 8 emerged in his brain.

[Sequence 8: Ghoul]

[Characteristics·Fast Healing]: Both the ghoul and the contracted soul beast will gain the ability to heal quickly, and their body strength will be improved to a certain extent.

[Feature: Cutting Flesh]: Under the mental amplification of the ghoul, each time the soul beast attacks the enemy, once damage is caused, it will take away a certain amount of life essence from the opponent's body.

[Feature·Contract]: ...The maximum number of contracted soul beasts is reduced to 2.

[Promotion Conditions]: 200ml of your own blood, Ghoul Secret Potion.

[Promotion Ceremony]: Completely dismember a soul beast of the same level and drink the secret medicine of the ghoul.

[Ghoul Secret Medicine Recipe]: Ghoul Characteristics x1, 50g of Bloodthirsty Demon Corpse Powder, 1 Yin Blood Corpse Yam...

"The most important thing is this so-called 'characteristic' thing. The jade pendant doesn't seem to provide anything related. I don't know where to find this thing."

There is no doubt that the simplest and most brutal way to find Yin Yi and others, dig out the secrets of this world, and quickly improve one's own strength is.

"All of this still has to start with this murder case."

Han Ning's eyes flickered and he took out his cell phone.

……

night.

On the south side of Lu Island, outside a three-story villa close to the suburbs.

Before Han Ning got close, he could only hear bursts of shrill cries faintly coming from behind the slightly covered iron door at the entrance of the villa.

"Woooooooo..."

Hearing the sad crying, Han Ning's expression remained calm.

He knocked lightly on the iron door and pushed it open.

A lot of people gathered in the brightly lit front yard.

A middle-aged man in charge saw a stranger suddenly enter the yard, and subconsciously stood up and blocked Han Ning, with a vigilant look on his face: "Who are you?"

Han Ning showed a trace of sadness on his face: "I am Li Lu's colleague. I came here to see if there is anything I can help with. Here are my relevant documents."

He handed his ID to the middle-aged man and told him some daily interactions with Li Lu in his previous life to gain the other party's trust.

The middle-aged man's expression softened when he heard this. He returned the ID to Han Ning, took out two cigarettes and handed them over. He pointed to a table not far away with his other hand:

"Thank you, young man. I'm Li Lu's second uncle. Please sit at that table. Those are all friends who came to help."

"Thank you."

Han Ning followed the middle-aged man's instructions and walked to a square table and sat down.

There were six men and women sitting at the table. He briefly introduced himself and exchanged identities with them.

The other people include Li Lu’s classmates, childhood friends, and some friends in society. As for colleagues in the company, he is the only one at present.

After all, such a strange thing happened. The people in the company would rather hide at home and not come out. How could they dare to come to Li Lu’s funeral hall to help?

Hearing that he was Li Lu's colleague, the others showed great interest.

Li Lu, didn’t she encounter an unexpected incident after having a party with colleagues from the company?

"Handsome guy, can you tell me the specific details of what happened? Li Lu's death was very strange." A handsome young man with fair skin poured a cup of tea for Han Ning and whispered.

This person is Li Lu’s high school classmate, named Xu Ping.

"It's not like I know much. She wasn't actually with us when it happened."

Han Ning briefly recounted his experience on the night of the incident.

Even so, the people who heard it looked at each other in bewilderment.

Humans like to imagine things at will. With just a few words from Han Ning, they seemed to be in that situation. Even the air around them seemed to have a strange aura and became icy cold.

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Han Ning glanced at the group of people who were talking in low voices in front of him and asked quietly: "Are these all Li Lu's relatives? How can we help them?"

Xu Ping nodded: "Yes, that is Li Lu's uncle, and that is her aunt... aunt, second aunt, second uncle's daughter..."

He knew Li Lu's family very well, so Han Ning learned the identities of most of the people present.

"They are now discussing whether to go to your company tomorrow to cause trouble and fight for more compensation."

"As for helping, Li Lu's body is still in the morgue, so we won't be needed for other things for now."

Xu Ping said cautiously.

Han Ning was not a partner of the company, so he did not have too many emotions about this. He nodded in understanding and continued to ask: "Does Li Lu have a boyfriend? Who is she usually close to?"

He didn't expect that after he said this, the faces of several people at the scene became a little embarrassed.

Two people subconsciously turned their eyes to Xu Ping, then quickly looked away.

Xu Ping was very calm: "As far as I know, Li Lu doesn't have a boyfriend at the moment. Of course, it is possible that he is in a relationship with someone and hasn't told us yet. As for the people he is close to..."

As he spoke, his eyes inadvertently glanced at a petite girl opposite him.

Han Ning followed his gaze and suddenly felt that the man looked familiar.

I must have seen him earlier in the police station and was called in by the police to inquire about the relevant situation.

"My name is Zheng Yingping, and I'm Lulu's best friend..." She was in a bad mood after what happened. She lowered her head, with a hint of sobs in her tone.
