Chapter 28: The Dragon in the Sky (Seeking Recommendations)

  Under the scorching sun, it was the hottest time of the day. The fiery rays shot down, evaporating large swaths of water vapor. The intense light and water vapor mixed together, churning and swirling, making people dizzy and disoriented, creating an illusion of being on cloud nine.

  Old Liu was full of wine and food, lying on the top of Shilin, basking in the sun. The scorching sunlight poured down like a fierce fire, but instead of making him feel uncomfortable, it seemed to make him even more relaxed. He let out a faint hum of satisfaction, looking like he was asking for a beating.

  Old Liu had just received a new little brother, Old Hei, who was also taken to the Stone Forest. Unfortunately, its head was too big and it couldn't fit into the nest built by the blood mosquitoes. Moreover, it was afraid of sunlight during the day. So, with a stroke of his brush, Old Liu let it dig a hole outside to live in. After several days, it got along quite well with the local blood mosquitoes. At least they didn't fight.

  At this time, Old Black was also lazily lying in its own little nest, with a bunch of gray spots crawling all over its body, constantly moving and giving people a creepy feeling. These days, it had been following Old Liu to eat and drink, living a comfortable life without having to lift a finger or worry about anything, as long as it was hungry, it just needed to move its mouth and it could enjoy a nutritious meal, which was much better than before when it had to get up early and work hard. This is the life! Old Black said from the bottom of its heart. With its meager knowledge and intelligence, it was able to say such profound words, which was absolutely a qualitative leap. But it seemed that it still didn't understand that it was actually being raised as a pig by Old Liu. Suddenly, several small gray spots crawled onto Old Black's drowsy head, bringing an extremely itchy feeling, making it uncomfortable and shake its body, and instantly more than ten small things fell off from its body, but immediately they climbed back up again, continuing to play on its body.

  These little things are the spider eggs that Lao Hei protected with his life last time, and now they have all hatched into lively little spiders, which has become a pretty good spoil of war for Lao Liu. Lao Hei would occasionally look back at the small spiders crawling on him, and his heart was filled with joy and happiness. Thinking that these little guys were protected by himself to the death, he felt an unspeakable sense of pride. However, every time this happened, a hint of doubt would arise in his heart. These days, Lao Liu sent it out for patrol and came back, always feeling that there were fewer spider eggs, and the numbers couldn't be accounted for (actually, they were accidentally exploded by Lao Liu). He also asked Lao Liu, but at this time, he himself was patted on the head by the old man, who told him with a serious tone: "Look at you, you didn't study well before, now you can't even do simple arithmetic..."

  The new queen, who was subdued by Old Liu's trickery, has moved into her new residence. She had originally wanted to issue an order to repair the damaged parts of the nest, but Old Liu told her that they would be moving away in a few days, so she didn't bother. These past few days, this new queen, whom Old Liu had named "Benben", hasn't had much to do, only issuing a handful of commands, all of which were remotely controlled by Old Liu. With her poor thinking abilities, she has been constantly pondering why she should listen to the words of this black-hearted person, but can't seem to find an appropriate answer. As the days passed, she became accustomed to being deceived by Old Liu and spent her days foolishly waiting in the palace, expecting to tap into the "amazing talent" hidden within her body and expand her tribe. However, as a large and wealthy family, someone had to manage their various industries, so after listening to Old Liu's sincere opinions, the new queen created a second command authority for him, allowing him to act on her behalf in commanding the tribe. It can be said that the position of leader has now returned to Old Liu's hands after being briefly held by the new queen.

  Time flies, and today is exactly the time when Old Liu made an appointment with the Barbarians. Early in the morning, Old Liu came out to sunbathe until now, but don't look at his seemingly leisurely appearance, he hasn't even eaten breakfast yet. He's anxious in his heart. Since understanding the sinister intentions of the Pombie Water Demon, Old Liu has been hiding and avoiding detection all day long, afraid that during this time, the roaming Pombie Water Demons would discover his extraordinary talent. If they found out, who knows, he might be caught and turned into a fool or a cannon fodder, even if it's better, he would still lose his freedom completely. In short, there wouldn't be any good outcome. Although the Barbarians also have ulterior motives towards him, at least they won't do anything to him, and there are benefits to be gained. Comparing both sides, even a fool knows how to choose, so it's naturally better to follow the High Priest and his group for a more promising future.

  Also don't know when Lao Liu counted sheep in the sky, it was when he reached several thousand that Da Jisi brought Maoshan Ge and others to arrive late. Old Liu, who had been waiting with eager eyes, only managed to jump wildly in his heart, extremely excited, but on the surface still had a lazy and careless appearance, really pretending to be B to the extreme. Just afraid of being seen through by the other party and being looked down upon, losing face.

  "The three days have arrived, what do you think?" A few days without seeing him, the high priest seemed to have aged a bit more, but his eyes were shining brightly, radiating light, completely unlike the drowsy and dying appearance of a few days ago. At this moment, a majestic spiritual thought came from him, seeming extremely urgent, suddenly making Old Liu jump up like being electrocuted, and in his heart, an irrepressible feeling arose.

  "Cough, cough, don't underestimate my abilities. Although my lifespan has reached its limit and I'm about to meet my end, my abilities are still enough to easily kill a high-ranking magical beast." Perhaps seeing the shock and doubt on Old Liu's face, the High Priest smiled faintly, his words filled with self-pride.

  "This isn't some dying old man, he's clearly a monster on the same level as Holker! I thought all he could do was ring that bell... Wait, don't tell me I've just escaped the tiger's mouth only to enter the wolf's den?!" Old Liu was shocked in his heart and didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. After rapid thinking, he also stopped pretending to be stupid and directly transmitted a concise message: "I want to know what I can get."

  The high priest chuckled and whispered to himself, "Indeed, you're a stubborn little guy who even knows how to haggle. But this makes me feel at ease, my confidence in you is growing!" As he spoke, a vast and majestic idea descended from the spiritual realm, guided by the high priest's spirit, and transformed into an invisible chain that merged his own spirit with Old Liu's. The high priest murmured, "This is the legendary law of creation left behind by the Heavenly Dragon, one of the eight gods who created the world. Once signed, it will become a deep imprint on your soul, forever existing, and no worldly power can erase it. Now, I, as the 37th generation of wild priest, swear in the name of the all-powerful Heavenly Dragon, to sign a contract with you for coexistence. I will guide you to become our tribe's totem, and you will get everything you want. However, as an exchange, you must protect our tribe for a thousand years, and when our people face irresistible danger, you must protect them. We shall not betray each other, nor violate the promises made in this contract! Do you agree?"

  Liu Ting was immersed in this vast idea, and he felt that there was nothing else between heaven and earth. At this moment, the only thing he could feel was this magnificent and majestic divine sign, like a starry river! It was so close to him, and it seemed that as long as he stretched out his hand, he could touch its existence. As if there was a voice constantly urging him to stretch out his hands and grab it, which made Liu Ting tremble from the depths of his soul!

  "Heavenly Dragon, this world truly has the existence of gods! What a great being you are!!!!!" Old Liu muttered uncontrollably, and under the shock, he felt as if he had stepped into endless void. For the first time, he deeply believed in the existence of divine spirits in this world. He even more believed that this contract, under the law of Heavenly Dragon, possessed an unassailable fairness.

  The path of evolution, how tortuous and arduous it is. It often takes tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years. Not only is it endless, but also extremely dangerous. As soon as you take a step forward, there is a possibility that all your previous efforts will be in vain and lead to extinction. Since ancient times, countless species have been buried in the dust of history because they made a slight mistake in the process of evolution.

  Although the original blood mosquito can supplement its own genes by absorbing the blood of other organisms and evolving their abilities, three times of growth is equivalent to condensing hundreds of millions of years of evolution in other species, which is full of danger. It's like walking barefoot in a steel forest, knowing that there are sharp iron thorns growing ahead, but you can't help but walk forward. Otherwise, it would be a waste of the three racial talents, and still unable to escape the circle of insects. The more he knew, the more helpless Old Liu felt. His lifelong dream was to transform into a human and return to the human world to survive. However, relying solely on himself, it was clear that he couldn't get through these three growths, which were almost like going between heaven and hell. There was even the possibility of being eliminated halfway and silently buried in the mud. In order to evolve smoothly, to survive, and to complete his dream, Old Liu fell silent, because for him, there was no other choice.

  "I agree!" Without another thought, or any extra words, Old Liu directly connected the other end of the chain to himself, deep within his soul. He bound himself to the barbarian's warship. At the same time, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
