After practicing the ruthless way, the little sister is too strong

Xia Ling was sweating profusely after hearing the word "eat it".

But it says that it will only eat them after they die, so maybe it means that it devours their souls that turn into ghosts after they die, right?

Just in case, Xia Ling still asked: "Why did Xiao Tian eat them?"

Xiao Tian thought for a while before saying, "...some of them wanted to kill me, so I ate them. Some of them left a lot of blood and wanted to get out but couldn't. They were very angry and furious... and died on their own after a while... and turned into evil spirits, which were delicious, so I ate them all."

Does this mean that most of the people who arrived here were seriously injured, but were unable to leave the cliff, so they died with resentment?

Xia Ling could probably understand what it was saying, "So that's how it is. Thank you Xiao Tian for telling me."

Although this ghost doll looks innocent, it is unknown whether its nature is good or evil.

It's better not to get entangled with it for too long, but how can I avoid it and successfully leave this damn place...

Just when Xia Ling was thinking about how to escape, Xiao Tian suddenly asked, "Will you really...stay with me forever?"

"Yeah, of course." Xia Ling replied perfunctorily, and looked around, "Xiao Tian, ​​were the patterns on this stone wall carved by those who fell down?"

Xiao Tian didn't say anything, and the cave suddenly became extremely quiet.

It was eerily quiet.

Xia Ling turned around in confusion, and met Xiao Tian's cold eyes and expressionless face.

...Thank you, I was scared.

"What's wrong with you?" Xia Ling took a step back calmly, and there were several poisoned silver needles in his hand hidden under his sleeve.

Is this guy trying to play dirty?

Que Ling behind Xia Ling was also a little nervous and was ready to spit fire at any time.

Xiao Tian didn't make a move, his eyes fixed on Xia Ling in front of him: "You lied to me... You obviously wanted to go out... You lied to me..."

It was really exposed...

Xia Ling suppressed his guilty conscience, smiled slightly, and said helplessly: "Silly child, how could I lie to you? Think about it, I can come back and play with you even if I go out, right? There is no conflict between the two.

And when I go out, I can bring you a lot of friends, and then you will have someone to play with Xiao Tian every day, isn’t that great?”

Xiao Tian didn't say anything, looking a little conflicted.

It looked like he really believed this nonsense.

Just when Xia Ling breathed a sigh of relief, the black mist that had locked her up before climbed up again, binding her completely so that she couldn't move. But the silver needle in her hand was thrown out at the moment before it was bound.

"...It hurts." Xiao Tian, ​​who was stabbed, cried out in pain.

Que Ling was also trapped. Although he quickly destroyed it with divine fire without leaving any trace, it was too late.

Because someone... oh no, a ghost is faster.

When Xia Ling was tied up, Xiao Tian ignored the wounds on his body and recited some strange incantations in a language they could not understand.

Then, a scarlet magic circle appeared on the ground.

Xia Ling probably knew what it was going to do and tried to break free from the restraints, but it was useless.

The magic circle has taken shape, and after a burst of light, Xia Ling felt that his soul had another connected contract.

At the moment the contract was successfully concluded, his soul and body were filled with endless ghost energy, as if he had fallen into an icy lake, filled with biting cold.

There was a dull pain in the heart, which then spread to the whole body.

"……cough……"

A large amount of blood flowed out of Xia Ling's mouth. This time the pain was different from the instantaneous pain of being struck by thunder.

Instead, it is a gradual torture, like lingchi.

Xia Ling could feel liquid leaking out of her eyes, probably blood. The wet feeling made her feel a little uncomfortable, so she simply took off the white gauze.

"Little Lingzi!" Que Ling was so angry when he saw Xia Ling was injured and vomiting blood, with bloodstains on his face from his eyes.

He flew in front of her and was ready to burn the ghost doll to death with the divine fire.

Xia Ling sensed what it was going to do and quickly stopped it: "Xiao Ling, don't do it."

"Why?" Que Ling didn't understand.

Xia Ling put away the silver needle and pointed at the ghost doll in front of him: "...it forcefully bound a contract with me."

Que Ling sensed it and indeed found a faint connection deep in his soul. He felt a little disgusted, "What on earth is it trying to do?"

I was able to defend against the little fox at the beginning, but now I can't defend against this little devil.

"..." Xia Ling is in a complicated mood now.

Neither of the two contracts was initiated by her, but fortunately this time it was only an equal contract, not a soul contract.

Never mind, this is one way to do it.

Think about it, it is better to have a successful contract than to be killed by it or both of you suffer losses.

The pain in his body did not last long and was gradually disappearing. Xia Ling persuaded himself with a bad attitude.

After the pain completely disappeared, he looked at the silent Xiao Tian and asked, "Xiao Tian, ​​why did you make a contract with me?"

Wasn't there anyone among those people who were willing to make a contract with it?

Xiao Tian raised his head. Although he had returned to his mini size like a sunny doll, his eyes seemed to be able to see through Xia Ling's thoughts, and they were filled with a coldness.

Although his speech was halting, he could not hide his disappointment. "You lied... You obviously wouldn't come back after you left... I know you were lying to me... And just now, you hit me with a silver needle."

Someone has said this before, but it didn't come back.

"..."

Xia Ling was exposed again and kept silent for a while. He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and said stubbornly, "How could that be? I really like my friend Xiao Tian.

And I hit you because I thought you were going to eat me, I really didn't mean it, I apologize for that, please forgive me."

"...You humans are very cunning." Xiao Tian was skeptical about her words.

Since it woke up, it has been deceived by humans countless times in the past thousand years. It has learned its lesson and will no longer trust humans completely.

But... there is a strange force restricting it here, and it cannot get out unless it is bound to humans.

It also wants to have friends... and doesn't want to be alone here anymore.

Feeling guilty, Xia Ling pretended not to hear its accusation. He took out the blood-replenishing pill and the healing pill and swallowed them. Then he stepped forward and took out several silver needles from its body and sprinkled the detoxification powder on it.

Although she couldn't understand why it had to make a contract with her, it was precisely because of this contract that she didn't have to worry about it suddenly going crazy and eating people.

Xiao Tian looked at her face and suddenly said, "The pattern on the stone wall existed before I woke up..."

Is this an answer to her previous question?

Seeing that it was willing to answer, Xia Ling asked another question, "Where did you live before you were trapped here, Xiao Tian?"

Since it didn't know, it meant that it wasn't it that had lured her to the point of almost losing herself, but that there was something wrong with the words carved on the stone wall...

Xiao Tian shook his head: "I have no memory, I don't know."

Que Ling whispered, "It's also possible that the awakening it mentioned is the emergence of self-awareness. After all, apart from the ghosts in the upper cultivation world, ordinary ghosts are generally transformed by the resentment, evil thoughts, obsessions, etc. in their previous lives."

"It's possible." Xia Ling's understanding of ghosts was only superficial.

Xiao Tian didn't say anything, and it was obvious that he really didn't know where he came from or why he was trapped here.

Seeing this, Xia Ling didn't ask any more questions.

It is worth mentioning that after binding with it, she felt that her eyesight had recovered a little.

But it is no different from people with severe myopia, or even more serious.

Although I can see it a little more clearly, it is still as blurry as a mosaic, but at least I can distinguish the colors.

As for what to cultivate, there is not much change, probably because the realm is not much different.

Anyway, now that it's bound, I can only take it out with me.

As for this equal contract, although it cannot be terminated within one month after being bound, after one month, it can be used freely without restrictions.

We'll decide based on the situation then.

For now, let's leave this damn place first. Xia Ling said in a coaxing tone: "Xiao Tian, ​​let's leave here together. There are a lot of good people out there. You can definitely become friends."

Xiao Tian hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed: "...Yeah."

Seeing that it didn't refuse, Xia Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

That's good, at least we don't have to continue talking about it.

Xia Ling glanced at the blocked road.

Using explosive talismans to blow them up might cause the cave to collapse, so it seems that we have no choice but to move them away one by one.

Taking out a powerful talisman and sticking it on, Xia Ling walked forward, easily lifted a huge rock and threw it aside.

Just as he was about to continue, he saw that the stones blocking the way ahead were surrounded by black fog, and were crushed into pieces in the next moment.

The road ahead was instantly smooth and unobstructed.

Xia Ling glanced at Xiao Tian who was controlling the black fog and praised him sincerely, "Xiao Tian is awesome."

"...Yeah." Xiao Tian was stunned for a moment, and repeated stupidly, "I'm awesome."

After enduring for a long time, Que Ling said sarcastically: "I'm awesome~"

Xiao Tian pursed his lips, expressionless: "Stupid bird."

Que Ling was incredulous. This stupid, stuttering kid actually refuted?

"You are stupid! And I am Suzaku! Suzaku, you know? It's not a bird!"

"Oh."

As the owner, Xia Ling did not participate in the fight between them.

Xiao Ling is now gradually becoming familiar with human language and no longer speaks unclearly.

But Xiaotian's slow speech is really annoying. It would be good if they could talk to each other more.

Just think of Xiao Ling as Xiao Tian’s language teacher.

After a while, Xia Ling walked to a relatively low position from the cave entrance. She wanted to climb up directly with the help of the uneven stone wall, but as soon as she took a step, Xiao Tian flashed in front of her, apparently trying to stop her from moving forward.

What is going on?

"Xiao Tian, ​​what's wrong?" Xia Ling asked patiently.

Xiao Tian pointed to the path in the center of the cave: "The sword inside... must be taken away."

Seeing its persistence, Xia Ling had no choice but to follow its direction and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look."

sword……

I guess it was left behind by the monks who were trapped here before, but why would a ghost like me care so much about it?

Xia Ling came to the depths of the cave with doubts.

When I walked to the end and scanned the surroundings with my spiritual sense, I found that there was indeed a sword stuck in the center of a huge rock.

The surrounding stone walls are engraved with patterns and texts similar to those outside.

I think they come from the same sword manual.

In other words, the sword manual on the stone wall and the sword belong to the same person, and this person arrived here one step earlier than Xiao Tian.

Xia Ling walked around the sword and it seemed like she stepped on something with a crackling sound.

With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he discovered that it was a pile of rotten bones.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Xia Ling not moving, Que Ling flew over.

"fine."

Xia Ling responded, took two steps forward, and bowed to the bones he had stepped on.

Please forgive me, she didn’t mean it!

Que Ling didn't notice Xia Ling's little action. He looked around, and when he saw the sword stuck in the center of the stone, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

But I can't remember where I've seen it.

Maybe I remembered it wrong.

Thinking of this, Que Ling looked at Xiao Tian, ​​"Is there anything special about this sword? Why did you have to lure Xiao Lingzi here?"

Xiao Tian ignored it and said to Xia Ling stubbornly: "Take the sword away."

"Let me try." Xia Ling cooperated and walked to the side of the sword. He could finally see the color clearly after looking closely. With the help of his spiritual sense, he also saw the whole picture of the sword.

The sword was silvery white, as transparent as ice and snow. The hilt, which was a pale golden blue, was inlaid with a square-shaped strange gem, but it was very dim and gray, and the original color could hardly be seen.

The scabbard engraved with intricate patterns was placed aside, giving it a sense of low-key mystery.

Xia Ling was a sword cultivator after all, so he knew without even touching it that this was a good sword that already had its own intelligence.

Just as I was trying to pull it out, I was attracted by the three lines of words engraved on the front of it that were so small that they couldn't be any smaller.

[Break through the boundaries of fate, and be free from worries with one thought.]

[It is like a tiny ray of light, which turns a torch into the sun.]

[This sword shall be held by those who are destined to bear it.]

"Breaking through the realm of fate..." Xia Ling repeated it in a low voice, with a subtle feeling in his heart.

Xiao Tian thought she didn't want it, so he reminded her, "This is a good thing, many people want it."

Xia Ling came back to his senses, grasped the hilt of the sword and tried to pull it out of the stone.

I thought it would be difficult, but it turned out to be very easy.

It took almost no effort and came out with a slight lift.

The sword glowed faintly and felt cold to the touch.

Xia Ling touched the tip of the sword with his fingertips, and blood instantly gushed out.

The scarlet blood spread from the tip of the sword to the entire sword body. According to the contract method in the ancient books he had read, Xia Ling recited the contract spell.

This sword has a sword spirit.

If successful, it means she can take the sword away.

If you fail, there's nothing you can do, you can only say that you are not destined to succeed.

But after reading the contract, the contract sword formation did not appear.

There is a high probability that there is no chance, and forcing a contract will only backfire.

If there is a chance in the future, I can recommend it to my seniors to try it.

Xia Ling didn't think failure was a big deal. He looked at Xiao Tian and said, "Xiao Tian, ​​this sword doesn't belong to me. How about we let it wait here for its real owner?"

Xiao Tian pursed his lips, "...I can't sleep without it."

Can't sleep without it?

Xia Ling thought for a long time before he understood what it meant. "Are you saying that if you want to sleep, you must possess this sword?"

I almost forgot that ghosts are different from spirit beasts. Even for soul contracts, there will not be an exclusive contract space like the spirit beast space.

Moreover, there are very few ghost cultivators in this world, and normal cultivators will not choose to sign a contract with ghosts with too much evil energy. Therefore, few weapon refiners are willing to refine magical weapons that can allow ghosts to possess.

After all, it is time-consuming and laborious, but the rewards are not proportional to the effort.

Seeing that it looked pitiful, Xia Ling tried to pick up the sword and walk out.

But before he had taken a few steps, he was blocked by an invisible barrier.

There is really no way around it.

Xia Ling put the sword back to its original place, "Xiao Tian, ​​I will find you a new place to stay, don't worry."

The system mall does have magical tools specifically for possessing ghosts. They are not too expensive, so just buy one.

"...Okay." Xiao Tian looked at the spirit sword reluctantly.

Seeing that it had no objection, Xia Ling left without hesitation.

Xiao Ling and Xiao Tian followed her on her left and right.

Although this cave is high, it is less than one-third of the height of the cliff, so it is easy to climb.

But Xiao Tian didn't let her climb. He directly used the black mist to transform into a cloud shape and sent her to a forest above the cliff.

It was... quite sudden.

It seems like everything has become simpler.

Save time and effort.

"Thank you, Xiaotian." Xia Ling raised his hand and touched its head.

Perhaps she should be thankful that making a contract with it wasn't entirely a bad thing.
