Chapter 056 The First Pet

The group of people soon arrived at the foot of the mountain. Gawain asked the dwarf to activate [Magic Perception] to be on alert at all times, and then began to climb the mountain. Not long after, they arrived at the entrance to the mountain.

As expected, the entrance to the cave was still the same as when we left, firmly blocked by large rocks.

Gawain did not dare to move the boulder, so he ordered the dwarf to perform the magic trick [Fossils to Mud] to make a hole on the edge, and soon a small hole as big as a fist was formed.

Dwarf Tok asked doubtfully: "Can we really catch the Shadow Snake in this way?"

“Always try.”

Gawain didn't say much, according to "Wizard World General Knowledge".

Although the Shadow Snake and the Blighted Snake are both carriers of the ancient bloodline, their bloodlines are not the same. The Blighted Snake is the descendant of the ancient bloodline [Como Sound Serpent].

The Shadow Snake is also called [Seral Black Snake].

In fact, they are the descendants of the ancient bloodline [Mobius Orochi]. This snake species has a common characteristic, that is, it likes to eat randomly.

Therefore, under the premise of not daring to forcefully break into the mountain.

Gawain plans to lure him with food.

Moreover, he had seen with his own eyes the shadow snake that bit the dwarf at that time. The snake's head was only as big as a palm, which could fit through the small hole without attracting an adult snake.

He asked the dwarf to retreat far away, and to be on the safe side, he first put a [Water Barrier] on himself, then opened the crocodile skin case, took out a piece of fresh grilled steak, and placed it at the entrance of the cave.

Then he squatted aside and waited for the bait.

A quarter of an hour.

Two quarters of an hour.

Three quarters of an hour.

Time passed slowly, and Gawain's squatting feet were sore and numb, but the shadow snake did not appear for a long time.

"Could it be that you have already left the mountainside?"

"It shouldn't be!"

Gawain moved his hands and feet, feeling a little unwilling to give in. Then he thought:

"Maybe... I just don't like cooked food."

He turned around and told Crow No. 7 a few words. Crow No. 7 on his shoulder listened quietly and seemed to understand. He tilted his head and flew into the darkness like a sharp arrow. It didn't take long for him to grab a gray spotted bird. The bird returns.

"Okay, not bad!"

Gawain praised, reached out to take the spotted bird, directly broke its wings and legs, then used a one-handed sword to make a bloody gash in the spotted bird's body, and threw it at the entrance of the cave.

While struggling.

While whining.

One side bleeds.

Not long after, the spotted finch suddenly became quiet, shrank his head and shivered.

Gawain quietly took a few steps back, and at the same time he displayed [Mage's Hand], manipulating the invisible hand to cover the top of the cave entrance, ready to capture at any time.

"Whoosh~~"

At this time, a snake head appeared out of thin air, opened its mouth and bit the spotted bird's neck, and then the slender snake body wrapped around it, tightening the spotted bird tightly.

It's just that the body is a bit small, the snake's head is only about the size of a thumb, and its body is not much longer than a chopstick.

"So small?"

Gawain didn't have time to think about it, and just as he was about to capture him, the ground suddenly collapsed, and a pointed head poked out from the ground. It opened its mouth and bit Gawain's legs, pulling them downwards.

It turns out that when he was preparing to hunt, he himself became the prey.

"Mr. Gawain!"

The dwarf in the distance exclaimed, but did not dare to come over.

Gawain also reacted and hurriedly used his hands to hold the hole to prevent him from falling into the ground. He was not willing to waste all his efforts and relied on the protection of the water cover. He simply ignored the monster biting him underground and distractedly manipulated the hand of the mage to attack the little boy. Catch the snake.

The frightened little snake abandoned the spotted bird and wanted to retreat to the mountain.

However, the mage's hand was one step ahead and blocked the hole. Then he turned his big hand and covered the small snake. He closed his five fingers and slowly clenched an invisible fist, trapping it in the center of the fist.

"It's done!"

Gawain's face showed joy. At the same time, the monster below also bit into the first layer of water cover and was biting the innermost water cover. It would be broken soon. At that time, Gawain would probably be torn apart by the monster. .

As for the protective mirror in the middle, it had no effect at all.

Gawain was a little panicked, but he didn't act cautiously.

He hurriedly supported his body with one hand, held the one-handed sword tightly with the other hand, and stabbed downwards. After stabbing three times in a row, a muffled roar finally came from the ground.

Gawain felt his legs loosen, and finally escaped the monster's bite. He did not dare to delay, and hurriedly exerted force on his arms, crawling out of the cave in embarrassment.

Get away quickly.

Then crush a peach and re-apply a [Water Barrier] to yourself.

There is a new water cover for body protection.

Gawain finally felt at ease.

While preparing the [Five-Continuous Ice Arrow Technique], he looked warily towards the crypt. Hearing the roars in the crypt, a scaly monster with a slender head crawled out from inside, revealing half of its body.

Black scales.

Sharp claws.

Senhan's vertical pupils.

Pale fangs.

There was also a vicious scissor-like mouth, which looked like a crocodile that had been crushed and then elongated. It shook its head and instantly locked Gawain with its vertical pupils.

Dwarf Tok standing in the distance hurriedly shouted:

"Be careful, this is [Lizard of Darkness]."

"Whoosh~~"

Gawain tentatively shot an ice arrow, and the Darkland Lizard lowered its head and burrowed back into the ground, causing the ice arrow to miss.

His heart sank and he jumped away hastily.

"Ah woo~~"

Almost as soon as he made a move, the Dark Ground Lizard burst out of the ground from under his feet and bit into the empty space.

"Whoosh~~"

Gawain was frightened, but his reaction was not slow. He fired two ice arrows in a row, one of which hit the opponent's head. He only heard a muffled roar, and the dark land lizard burrowed back into the ground again.

Gawain didn't dare to stop at all, so he started running hurriedly, jumped onto the back of the skeleton beast, and looked at the ground warily.

Waited for a while.

But the Dark Lizard did not appear again.

"It should be injured."

Gawain was thoughtful, but he had no way to continue chasing. He waved his hand to disperse the last two ice arrows and ordered:

"Let's go back."

Then he took the dwarf and ran down the mountain. Because he was worried about being followed by the Dark Lizard, he deliberately took a long detour before returning to the cave where he settled.

After returning to the chamber, Gawain immediately brought the wizard's hand to his eyes. His eyes passed through the invisible big hand, but he saw that the clenched fist was empty.

But Gawain was not disappointed, because he could feel that there was an invisible little guy inside.

As the wizard's hand unfolded, the little guy who was forcibly bound suddenly appeared, opened his mouth and wanted to bite Gawain's face, but he couldn't reach it at all, so he could only struggle helplessly again and again.

"It's quite fierce!"

Gawain grinned, raised his left hand, and began to release [Psychic Shock].

Once.

Twice.

After three times, the little guy finally couldn't hold on and fainted. The complete snake body appeared in front of Gawain. The snake head was as big as a little finger, the snake body was slightly longer than a chopstick, the skin was small and crystal scales, and there were circles of mysterious black lines.

"It is indeed the shadow snake!"

Gawain was overjoyed and reached out to pick it up, as if he had obtained a piece of cold black jade.

He did not delay, opened the suitcase beside him, took out the only [Pet Contract Scroll], dripped three drops of his own blood, and then infused the magic power in his body into it.

With continuous input.

The scroll burned.

Gradually turned into a ball of temperatureless flame.

Gawain picked up the flame and slapped it on the head of the shadow snake. The flame split into two, one part flew into the head of the shadow snake.

The other part poured into Gawain's spiritual world.

The two parties instantly completed the signing of the soul contract. From then on, one master and one pet, sharing honor and disgrace.

"Hiss~~"

The shadow snake suddenly woke up and subconsciously tried to bite Gawain in front of it, but suddenly froze.

It flickered its tongue and sniffed Gawain repeatedly.

It hesitated for a moment.

It climbed onto Gawain's body and swam around, finally coiling around his left wrist, opening its mouth and biting its tail, turning into a black jade bracelet.

Gawain looked at it with a smile, thinking, "I don't know what kind of derivative ability will appear."

When he glanced at the krypton gold panel, he suddenly froze.
