The skeleton general noticed Luo Chen and said, “I can form a contract with you. Are you interested?”
Luo Chen was shocked but after thinking about it, he replied, “I think I’ll pass.”
“Alright then.”
The skeleton general shook his head and left in disappointment.
“Wait, can you tell me where the higher-level skeletons are located? I’ll give you 100 dark attribute spirit stones!”
The skeleton general stopped in its tracks. Its eyes were beaming.
“Follow me. However, the rest of you must stay behind. If the skeletons attack, I won’t be able to protect everyone. In fact, all of you should disperse. Fresh blood and bones are skeletons’ favorite things. By grouping up like this, you’re nothing but a huge target. You’ll be attacked relentlessly,” advised the skeleton general.
The students agreed and left one after another.
Then, the skeleton general led Luo Chen to a valley.
Luo Chen could sense that there was a fight going on. He strolled over and saw a level forty giant skeleton slaughtering every summoner he could find.
The giant skeleton was extremely tall. It swung its spiked mace left and right, creating large holes on the ground. Whenever he stomped his feet, footprints were formed. The sight was rather terrifying.
As for the summoners, they were no match for the giant skeleton. They could only try to hide.
Fortunately, each of them had a space gem with them. They could leave the skeleton realm whenever. It was a good safety measure.
With that being said, there were not many casualties. The few who were killed could only be described as unlucky.
“He’s the king here. If your offerings are too little, you’ll end up like those corpses!” said the skeleton general with a sadistic smile.
Luo Chen silently prayed for the dead summoners.
They were low-level, yet, they tried to form a contract with the giant skeleton. In his opinion, the giant skeleton’s anger was justified. These students were too conceited. They might have sufficient resources, but the difference in spiritual power was too much. Someone like him with two lifetimes of spiritual power was very rare.
“Its level isn’t high enough. I want someone stronger.”
Luo Chen prepared to leave. It would be bad if he was discovered.
“Level 40 isn’t high enough?”
The skeleton general’s jaw dropped after hearing Luo Chen’s words.
“I want a creature that’s level 60. Are there any around here?”
“Impressive. By the way, why won’t you form a contract with me? I may only be level 30 but I have an impressive amount of spiritual power. I’ll definitely make it big in the future.”
As he said that, the skeleton general led Luo Chen to another place. It was quite a long journey. They finally stopped after reaching a nearby mountain.
There was only one skeleton on the mountain. It was very quiet and behaved strangely.
Luo Chen had no idea what was going on.
“Boss, this summoner wants to form a contract with you.”
The skeleton general did not step any further. He simply shouted at the mountain.
“Is that so?”
A deep voice could be heard from far away.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew. The skeleton grabbed Luo Chen so he would not be blown away.
Then, the sky suddenly turned dark.
An enormous bone dragon appeared in front of them. It was so big that it almost covered up the entire sky.
Luo Chen was stunned.
“Little boy, you want to form a contract with me?” asked the bone dragon.
Dragons were very greedy creatures. Luo Chen was unsure if his offerings would be enough. He paused for a moment and said, “Yes, I have sufficient spiritual power and wealth. I’ll try my best to satisfy you.”
“I want you to provide me with 100,000 living people every month!”
The bone dragon smiled sinisterly.
“You want living people? Why?”
Luo Chen then understood why some evil summoners launched attacks at cities. They were kidnapping people to be sacrificed.
“That’s impossible. If you keep this up, not many summoners will be able to form a contract with you,” said Luo Chen nervously.
This was one of the reasons why summoners could not form a contract with powerful creatures.
“What you said made sense. It’s a bit of a waste to not be able to form a contract.”
“Alright. Then, I want 100 dark attribute spirit stones, 10,000 gold coins, and a level 50 corpse per month. I also want some equipment. The level does not really matter. They’re for my subordinates. Moreover, I want dragon blood grass. It’s very rare. I’ll loan you my help for a year if you manage to find it. By the way, if the opponent is stronger, I’m going to prioritize my own life. So, can you accept my terms?”
Luo Chen began thinking to himself.
‘I can afford it. Dark attribute spirit stones and gold coins could easily be duplicated. The same goes for a level 50 corpse since there won’t be a soul in it. However, what’s dragon blood grass? Anyway, if I could get my hands on one, then I can duplicate it.’
In the end, Luo Chen agreed. He took out his summoning scripture and wrote down all the terms and conditions of the contract at the back of the second page. He also signed his name at the bottom.
“Here, take a look. If there’s no problem, then sign it. You can also use your blood.”
Luo Chen held his summoning scripture high up. The bone dragon lowered its head and read it carefully with much difficulty.
“Why did you write it on the second page? Number ‘2’ is very unlucky to me.. I want the contract to be on the fourth page instead!”
