The scene caught Luo Chen off guard.
A bunch of humans was being chased by ants. In order to slow down the ants, the guards had been continuously summoning their pets.
However, their pets would always be defeated almost immediately. They would be forced to return to their summoning scriptures after just a few seconds. The ants could not be stopped.
Those who fell behind were victims of the ants. They would become nothing but bones.
"What is this?"
Luo Chen was panicking.
The guards' pets were between level ten to twenty, but they were no match for the ants.
Luo Chen ran away like a coward. His pets had not even reached level 10 yet. There was no way he could win.
Unfortunately for him, he was not physically fit. He could not outrun the ants.
As for the ants, they got closer and closer.
"Oh no!"
Luo Chen quickly took out his summoning scripture and summoned the black tortoise.
Since the black tortoise was a defensive pet, it had a lot of defensive skills. Luo Chen could only hope that the black tortoise could help him with this disaster.
The black tortoise was only the size of his palm. Even though it had many defensive skills, Luo Chen was not confident in it.
"Xiao Wu, activate perfect defense!"
Luo Chen shouted.
As the name suggested, "perfect defense" was an ability to protect.
A veil appeared. It completely enveloped the black tortoise, Snowy, and Luo Chen
The ants were blocked off for a short while, but they began chewing on the veil. Not long after, they managed to pierce through the first layer.
Luo Chen was stunned.
"Perfect defense won't help. You need to form a bond with the queen ant. It's the only way"
Medusa suddenly flew out from the summoning scripture with a solemn expression on her face. If Luo Chen died, she would as well.
"The queen ant is not in an egg. How am I supposed to form a bond with her?"
Luo Chen wanted to communicate and negotiate with the queen ant, but he did not know how to get in touch.
In a blink of an eye, the second layer of the veil was broken.
"You're really stupid, aren't you? Perform a forced contract instead. Insects do not have a lot of spiritual power. It's not that difficult. Do it or we're all going to die!"
Medusa screamed.
'Rip…'
Another layer of the veil was broken.
"I need to think about it!"
Luo Chen quickly searched through his teachers' knowledge.
Forcing a contract was not a forbidden technique, and many teachers knew how to do it. Thanks to that, Luo Chen did not have to search for long.
Luo Chen bit his finger and started to draw a formation.
Medusa was extremely worried.
Snowy was equally frightened.
The ants were about to breakthrough. They could almost taste their meal.
'Rip…'
The veil would soon be broken.
Medusa's heart was beating rapidly. She closed her eyes as if she had accepted her fate.
It's done!"
Luo Chen's spiritual power surged out like the ocean and it hit the queen ant.
The rest of the ants then dissipated. They were no match for Luo Chen's spiritual power.
"Medusa, you're right. Insects do not have much spiritual power."
Everything was going smoothly.
The queen ant, who had lost the battle of spiritual power, was in a trance. Luo Chen invaded her mind and forced her into a master-servant contract.
The contract took effect immediately.
A white light shot out from the sixth page of the summoning scripture and an image of the queen ant appeared.
The queen ant entered the summoning scripture, followed by her worker ants.
Luo Chen was finally safe.
Then, the queen ant's information appeared.
Beast Type: Ant (Queen)
Gender: Female
Attributes: Ground
Level: 5
Type: Insect
Habitat: Land, sea, and air
Direction: Vanguard
Note: These ants devour everything. They do not fear fire or water and are immune to poison. They're one of the most terrifying beasts in existence.
After reading the information, Luo Chen felt a chill down his spine.
"Amazing. They're not afraid of anything and they eat everything. Furthermore, they're able to survive on land, sea, and air. Isn't that abnormal?"
Since a pet's level depends on its master, the queen ant was demoted to level five.
However, Luo Chen was only a level four summoner. As of now, the situation made no sense.
Regardless, Luo Chen had benefited from the situation. In this world, almost everyone wanted an insect-type pet.
...
In the Li family's courtyard.
Li Dong sat on his bed. He still could not accept what had happened. People who used to praise him were now scornful of him. Humans were really two-faced.
Due to this, he was on the verge of breaking down. He truly hated Luo Chen.
"You have so much resentment! Keep it up! Continue to hate everyone and everything! You'll be reborn with superior powers."
A creepy voice could be heard in the room.
"Who is it?"
"You don't need to know my identity. The point is, I can make you stronger. You'll have immense power!"
Li Dong looked around, but he could not find anyone.
"Are you joking? My summoned beasts are gone and so is my summoning scripture!"
