Sam walked out from the hollow space of the cave as he stretched his body. He needed to hurry with his journey otherwise he will not be able accomplish all the goals he had set on this journey to the sworridge valley.
He was delayed by two days due to his fight with the shadow wolves. He needed to find a way to increase his speed and travel faster.
"Fuck.. I should have brought a flying treasure with me on this journey. Then, everything would have been so much easier. After I return, I must find a good flying treasure for myself. Fuck.... There are so many flying demonic beast if only I could subdue one as a mount".
He sighed as he though of this. He knew that he had no ability and strength to subdue a strong mount. Subduing weaker ones would be just a waste as they would be attacked by stronger demonic beasts while travelling. That would make it even more troublesome.
Sam shook his head as he threw everything towards the back of his mind. He wasnot a person who would just think and build a castle in the air.
He moved forward with his fast speed. He ran back the way he had come to heal his injury. Yes, that right. Sam had come back rather than moving more deeper to heal his injury as there was more chance of running into even stronger beasts in deeper areas.
Sam ran back following the same path he had taken earlier but he was surprised when he moved more deeper inside. The scene of the environment was like a large bomb was exploded here.
There were no green grasses and tall trees. The whole area had turned into a wasteland. There were several destroyed mountains as several large rocked were scattered everywhere. There was still destructive energy left in the air. Sam had to surround himself with essence energy to prevent being injured from the remnant destructive waves of the previous battle.
"A large battle had occurred right here. I wonder who fought such a world destroying battle. Did some genius challenge some powerful beasts? Wait... Is that even possible for a core formation realm cultivator to be so strong? "
Sam said to himself as he moved forward while being on guard. He didn't know that the battle started between the demonic beast because of him.
He steadily moved forwards. He found dried blood on different places and even some furs and feather. Through the blood, furs and feathers, he confirmed that the battle occurs among three demonic beasts among which one was a bird type demonic beasts. He was not absolutely sure about his conjecture as human cultivators could have been involved in the battle too.
As he continued to head deeper, the remnant destructive waves became stronger so Sam had to use more essence energy to cover himself. Finally after some time, he arrived at the core of the battle field.
He was surprised because three giant bodies were lying down on the ground as pools of blood was surrounding them. Three large bodies of a demonic ape, demonic peacock and demonic winged tiger was laying there.
Sam instantly became excited.
"It would be better if these fuckers have all died fighting each other. I would definitely make big profit that way. Thank god, all the bastards are at the area around the Thousands Dragonnest otherwise, I would not have been able to devour all this profit".
Sam said as he looked at the demonic beasts lying on the ground. Although, the demonic beast were lying down, he still did not take the risk completely being the cautious type. He left behind his shadow clone at a distance where he could swap it with his body instantly incase of danger.
Then, while muttering 'better safe than sorry'
He walked towards the bodies of the demonic beast.
When he reached near, he was rather surprised by the large bodies of the demonic beasts. He found out that the demonic ape and demonic peacock was dead while the demonic white winged tiger was still on its last breath.
"I can collect the meat, and demonic blood of both demonic ape and demonic peacock. I must collect all the feather of the demonic peacock. It can be used to carve a treasure fan which I can use to show off. Haha..their demonic core are also intact. I made huge profit this time.. Hahaha".
Sam laughed maniacally as he collected everything including even feather of the demonic peacock. Sadly, he did not find the true feather among all the other feathers. A true feather of a demonic bird is similar to a dao bone. They use it to pass their innate technique to its descendants.
After collecting all the things that could be collected, he arrived in front of the demonic winged tiger. He still maintained his distance.
"A wounded tiger is still a tiger. I must keep some distance in case this fucker goes crazy and deals me its killing blow before dying".
Just as he was thinking of how to kill this demonic tiger, the bulb inside his mind lit up as a crazy plan formed inside his mind. He had heard that strong demonic beast had intelligence and could understand human language.
He arrived in front of the head of the demonic winged tiger while still keeping a safe distance. He looked like a ant before its large head. He smiled like a true gentleman as he coughed twice before speaking loudly by boosting his voice with his essence energy.
"Cough.. Cough... Hello Mr. Tiger, I am Sam Desvlns, a genius cultivator and the sectmaster of a large sect, the heavenly martial sect. Since, you are injured and are on your last breath, why don't we strike a deal that is beneficial to both of us".
"Although, you are injured and I can easily kill you and make a large profit, that would be rather stupid of me and too pitiful a death for you. As a mighty winger tiger with blood line of both ancient beast dragon and white tiger, you should be a sovereign among beast ruling both the sky and land as all the beast prostate before you. I can heal you and even gave you the demonic core of that demonic ape which could increase your healing speed but you must sign a master servant contract with me. But, be rest assured I will not treat you unfairly".
The demonic winged tiger was first enticed by the flowery words that Sam spoke. It could understand Sam's word and even felt his blood boiling when he talked about being the sovereign of sky and land.
But when Sam go to the later last, it became angry as he let out a roar. The roar that came out of its mouth was weak like it would die if it roared once more. How could it not be angry? Sam was using the demonic core it fought by putting it's life on the line to obtain. It would be able to move it's body due to its natural healing if it stayed still for two more days. Then, it could use the meat and demonic core is the two beasts it killed to heal itself. It would be even more stronger then. It was in no need of any help.
Sam still mentioned his gentlemanly smile as he continued:
"Mr. Tiger, I know what you are thinking but the situation is different now. I could easily take your life if I wished it. Hahahaha.. There is a saying that goes like ' a injured tiger dying in the hands of a rat'. This is what it probably meant".
The demonic winged tiger went silent as it stared at sam while Sam smiled and said:
"Come on now. Don't be like that. I know you demonic beasts can issue a master servant contract once in a lifetime but it will not necessarily be disadvantageous to you. You can heal easily within six hours with the medicine I will give you. I can even take you to the outside world where you can probably grow beyond rank 4 and even become stronger surpassing your limits here".
The demonic winged tiger was finally moved. It could gauge it's situation and knew what Sam saying was true.
A rune flew out from the area between it's forehead. It was a contract, a contract that could seal it's fate. Sam looked at the rune and after confirming it was a master servant contract, he pricked his finger and a drop of his blood flew and landed on the rune.
The blood combined with the rune as the whole rune became red. Then, the rune divided into two parts: one large and smaller. The large part went and imprinted itself in the area between Sam's eyebrows while the smaller one returned and imprinted itself into the forehead of the demonic winged tiger.
Sam felt a connection between himself and the demonic winged tiger. He felt like he could issue his command through his mind. He was satisfied after gaining a new mount out of nowhere.
He went forward without any fear as he lightly stroked the large chin of the demonic winged tiger. He took out several medicinal pills from his storage ring and feed it to the demonic tiger. He even feed him the demonic core of the demonic ape as he felt a pang of pain in his chest after the loss. But he reassured himself saying it was for the greater good.
"Now just focus on healing your injuries. I will guard you until you heal yourself. We will fighting together from now on, so we must trust each other. Oh and calling you demonic winged tiger is bothersome. I will give you a cool name".
Sam said as he racked his brain to come up with a new name. He thought for a while as his eyes lit up.
"Since you are tiger. I will take the 'Ti' from tiger and call you little Titi. Impressed with my awesome naming sense, aren't you? "
Sam said with a smug expression fully satisfied with himself.
Meanwhile, the demonic winged tiger who will be little Titi from now on was cursing inside his mind with his weird tiger language.
"What the fuck? What kind of sane person names a tiger as Titi? And why the fuck does it sound so vulgar? What kind of weirdo is this peeson whom I signed the contract with? Fuck... My life is going to be so miserable from now on".
Like that, Sam got himself a cool demonic beasts companion by Conning it.... No by winning it with his sincerity.
sam wanted until little titi healed itself and refined the demonic core of the demonic ape. He sat beside it guarding it while he too cultivated utilizing the time resourcefully.
He formed ten more core by the time little Titi was back in its peak state.
Sam got on the back of the little titi as he said:
"We will be going towards the city of dead to explore it but before that we must lay a visit to the home of our dead companion Demonic ape and demonic peacovk to steal.. No to offer condolences ce to the grieved family".
Little titi rolled its eyes as it silently cursed in its mind, "This little fucker is a scoundrel. He is thinking of stealing the treasures and seizing it's baby if there is one but he is make it sound so righteous. Of not for his habit of being slightly honest, I would have been fooled".
Sam got on the back of little Titi as it flew towards the den of the demonic ape and peacock.
"little Titi, simce you will be following me why don't you show me, your master, your humble abode so that I can understand about your lifestyle, huh?"
Little titi roared after hearing Sam as all the other beasts in the forest quivered. Sam laughed loudly as the man and beast Duo flew towards the horizon.
