Chapter 431 Soar In The Sky
“Woosh… Hah…”
Multi-armed King Kong was not as fast as the goshawk but given the distance, how slow could it be?
Nonetheless, it knew Ou Yangming was subduing the goshawk, so it stopped at a distance away on purpose. However, when it heard its master’s question and the goshawk’s expression, it could not help but laugh madly.
Ou Yangming turned and cast a cold look at it. Multi-armed King Kong instantly shut its mouth and looked elsewhere. It dared not make a sound anymore. “Sir, I’m willing to! I’m willing to! I dare not think about disobeying you at all!” The goshawk noted without any hesitation, “You don’t need to worry; I’m willing to die for you.”
Ou Yangming was moved because serving someone and being ready to die for someone were two entirely different things. He believed that the highly-intelligent goshawk would not confuse their meanings. If that was the case, it meant that it was loyal indeed.
“Woof!”
Big Yellow suddenly barked at the back. When Ou Yangming turned to look, he noticed the fellow wagging its tail with a relaxed look.
The big yellow dog was superior to humans in terms of sensing ability. Based on the way it acted, it was clear that the goshawk did not have ill intentions at all.
Ou Yangming nodded. Even if he did not trust the goshawk, he would never doubt the big yellow dog.
As he shook his hand, the mysterious Soul Rune ascended into the sky. It expanded due to the wind and became several times larger than it was before, then it fell from the sky and landed on the goshawk’s huge head.
The goshawk’s body convulsed, and it looked like it was in pain.
Nevertheless, it did its best to endure the process without stopping it from being completed. The goshawk seized the opportunity and cooperated as much as it could as it wanted to finish it successfully.
A purple fire rose in Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness again after a brief moment, where it carried a part of the goshawk’s soul. Although only a part of the souls of Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk were stored here, the spirit beasts would be doomed too if Ou Yangming died. Ou Yangming exhaled deeply and relaxed. He sensed through the soul contract the goshawk’s submissive att.i.tude, which felt stronger than Multi-armed King Kong’s. It was as though he was a deity while the goshawk was his devoted believer.
As long as he gave an order, the goshawk would definitely not refuse to defy danger and death for him.
In fact, the goshawk would have done the same even without the contract.
Multi-armed King Kong had been staring at Ou Yangming. The instant the contract was completed, it leaped forward and grabbed the goshawk with its gigantic hand, then it hurled the bird far away.
Its sudden attack shocked everyone, such that Wu Hanning and Zuoqiu Hongyuan immediately retrieved their weapons and pounced on it. Even though they knew their powers were insignificant as compared to the giant beast’s, they could not stand by idly. Despite that, Multi-armed King Kong swung one of its arms sideways to block the two of them.
Following that, the giant spirit beast lay flat on the ground. It reached out another arm and gently placed it beside Ou Yangming, then it looked at the young fellow anxiously.
Ou Yangming was struck dumb. He could tell through the interaction between their souls that Multi-armed King Kong did not intend to harm him at all. Instead, it seemed like the giant spirit beast was apparently revolting because it was extremely worried about him.
“Woof!”
The big yellow dog barked and turned into a yellow shadow as it lunged forward.
On the other hand, the goshawk, which was thrown away and spun in mid-air, stirred up dust from the ground. Soon after, it shrieked and zoomed back again.
Ou Yangming furrowed his brows. He conveyed his thought to the goshawk and the big yellow dog through his mental conception.
Next, the big yellow dog halted right in front of one of Multi-armed King Kong’s arms with its mouth widely opened, whereas the goshawk spun again and flew up to the sky instead. After all, the sky was its territory, where it could attack or retreat and could deal with everything with ease. “King Kong, what are you doing?” Ou Yangming asked with a frown.
Multi-armed King Kong looked at him carefully and asked, “Master, do you not… Feel unwell?”
Ou Yangming asked the giant spirit beast in return as he found it strange, “Why should I feel unwell?”
The spirit beast blinked its ma.s.sive eyes in confusion. “Do you not feel dizzy or uncomfortable?”
“Nonsense. What exactly are you trying to say?” Ou Yangming questioned snappily. By then, Wu Hanning and Zuoqiu Hongyuan had consciously stopped. After seeing their conversation and seeing the reactions from the goshawk and the big yellow dog, they knew there was another reason behind this.
Multi-armed King Kong lifted its arm, which it had placed beside Ou Yangming to protect him. “Master, were you using the Soul-sucking Secret Technique just now?”
“Yes,” Ou Yangming answered in a deep voice.
“The Soul-sucking Secret Technique can guarantee a spirit beast’s loyalty, but it’ll also cause a certain burden to the master.” Multi-armed King Kong hesitated for a while before it continued, “Judging from your mental power, it won’t be a problem for you to control two spirit beasts, but you should feel exhausted after marking your second spirit beast…”
Multi-armed King Kong left out something on purpose; Ou Yangming had only successfully left a mark on it during his first time because the little phoenix had used a trick in advance.
If that was not the case, Ou Yangming could not have marked it easily even if it did not resist him.
This time, the little phoenix never showed up at all, thus Ou Yangming completed the Soul-sucking Secret Technique on his own. According to Multi-armed King Kong’s calculations, even if Ou Yangming succeeded, it would be quite a forceful attempt, and he could have failed due to insufficient power. Therefore, the giant spirit beast immediately went forward to protect the young fellow as soon as the contract was done. Moreover, it was prepared to protect him even if it had to consume its original power.
