Gu Ning was surprised to hear that. She asked, âCan the contracted beasts of the monster trainer communicate with each other directly?â
âItâs always been like this,â Bing Bing said. âAfter the monster trainer forms a contract with the contracted beast, he or she will build a spiritual bridge in his or her mind. When the monster trainer contracts a second beast, he or she will also build a spiritual bridge. Therefore, itâs natural for the two contracted beasts to be able to communicate with each other.â
Gu Ning felt that his knowledge had expanded. He could not help but say, âReally? Why havenât I heard about this before?â
Hearing that, Xiao Hong and Bing Bing looked at each other. They said in unison, âBecause there are no masters walking around with two speaking contracted beasts.â
Gu Ning was a little embarrassed. Most people didnât have a system like Gu Ning, which sent familiars forwards through time itself.
Most humans could only live for 100 years, while a familiar could only start speaking after 1,000 years. Not unless it was an ancestral contracted beast.
Xiao Hong did not forget to say, âMaster, donât worry about what I just said, Okay?â
âOkay, okay, okay. Iâll listen to Xiao Hong,â Gu Ning smiled.
âBut donât worry. Look at my body. Iâm not hurt at all.â Gu Ning lifted up his shirt to show Xiao Hong his waist and back.
Bing Bing said she would not look, but Xiao Hong noticed something. She asked, âMaster, why is there a tracking mark on your waist? What happened?â
âHuh? What do you think is on my waist? A tracking mark? where is it? I canât see it myself.â Xiao Hong took a mirror to show Gu Ning his waist.
At that moment, Gu Ning finally saw it. There was indeed a mark, and it looked like a bullâs head. Was that not the Ox constellation?
âIt turned out that the black light that the Ox had shot at him meant something. It gave me such a strange tattoo. Is it to track me?â Gu Ning suddenly realized.
âAn ox? Indeed, it would pay a price to have such a mark⦠could it be that the beast that master just fought with came from another dimension?â Xiao Hong asked.
Gu Ning nodded. âI was fighting a three-headed dog that was as dominant as Bing Bing. However, the three-headed dog couldnât defeat me, so it used a summoning ritual before it died.â
Gu Ning continued, âThen the villain died because he talked too much. Halfway through the summoning ritual, the big bull started to talk nonsense.â
âHe kept saying that he was an epic beast. I thought that he talked too much, so I went over and killed the three-headed dog. Then the summoning ritual was stopped.â
Xiao Hong said, âAn epic-level beast?â
Then she said with disdain, âIsnât he just a small fry?â
Only the overlord-level Bing Bing turned pale. She looked like she was about to vomit blood. But she couldnât refute Xiao Hong, because Xiao Hong was a god-level beast!
âThe lowest level of a beast across dimensions is an epic-level beast. Xiao Hong thought that beast was so fierce. How dare it put a tracking mark on you? Itâs really reckless!â
âNow that you mention it, it seems that beasts that can cross dimensions often appear in this world,â Gu Ning asked.
Xiao Hong nodded and answered, âMany. There are many mysterious dimensions in this world. If a powerful warrior is born, he or she can cross dimensions.â
âMany dimensions?â Gu Ning was a bit interested. âSuch as?â
Xiao Hong answered carefully, âThere are many, countless, such as the elf latitudes, the ghost latitudes, the vampire latitudes, the angel latitudesâ¦â
âAccording to Xiao Hongâs experience, the mark on Master is a fierce beast from the demon latitudes.â
Gu Ning looked at the mark again and asked, âSo the mark means that he will come to me, right? Wouldnât that bring a lot of trouble?â
Xiao Hong nodded, âBasically, he will try his best to come to this latitude because the mark will make him agitated. He wonât be able to calm down until he kills you.â.
âThen, Xiao Hong, do you have a way to remove the mark?â Gu Ning asked, âOtherwise, that bull will be too busy trying to come here.â
âDonât worry about it, master. It doesnât matter whether the mark is removed or not. Itâs better to keep it. Weâll wait for him to come now. Xiao Hong is worried that he wonât dare to come. â
Xiao Hongâs eyes became sharp. It said fiercely, âIâd like to see which minion from the devilâs dimension dares to touch my man!â
Bing Bing was scared by Xiao Hongâs look. She even said to Xiao Hong that Gu Ning was her man.
She and the red dragon queen were both Gu Ningâs masterâs beasts, but only the red dragon queen dared to say that Gu Ning was her manâ¦
Bing Bing thought to herself. She hoped that one day, she would be strong enough to say to Gu Ning, âYouâre my man!â
Gu Ning was touched when she saw Xiao Hongâs reaction. She smiled and said, âOkay, weâll listen to Xiao Hong. Letâs leave this mark, though we donât know if he can come or not.â
Thus, Gu Ningâs story came to an end.
What Gu Ning did not know was that while Gu Ning was talking to his two contract beasts, the old man next door was having a meeting again.
It was still the same old meeting between the robbers and the Tiandao Company. However, this meeting was obviously different from the previous one. The content of the meeting was more important, and the atmosphere was tense.
On the side of the Heavenly Dao company sat a refined man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He was a new face to everyone present, but his oppressive feeling made it hard for them to breathe.
âYou might not have heard what I just said clearly, so Iâll say it again.â
He supported his chin with both hands and looked around at everyone present. He calmly said, âI say, everyone present is trash. Does anyone object?â
Even though he had been scolded, the entire place was silent. No one dared to speak or even breathe loudly. They were just silent, dead silent.
The Man with the gold-rimmed glasses took out a cigar from his suit and said, âVery good. All of you have agreed, so⦠follow the instructions of the higher-ups. From now on, you will only listen to me.â
âWhen I say go east, you canât go west. When I say donât succeed, you will die. You have to choose between completing the mission and dying. I am your only God, understand?â
The Man with the gold-rimmed glasses asked again. Everyone quickly nodded, as if they would be beheaded if they were a little late.
âThen,â the man with the gold-rimmed glasses was very satisfied with this. Then, the corners of his mouth rose and he said, âItâs time to start formulating our next, greatest plan.â
