Chapter 278 - 138: The Sadness and Happiness of the Rat King_1
"Yeah, Kongkong! Something seemed off about that big rat of yours earlier. Did it advance a level? After moving to the next level, it seems like it harbors ill-will towards you," Long Dangdang said seriously, neatly changing the topic.
Long Kongkong paused, "Really? I didn’t sense anything! But it probably did evolve. It even devoured someone’s summoned beast. Luckily it wasn’t a birth sign beast. I’ll have to talk to this foodie later and make sure not to devour someone else’s birth sign beast during an assessment, that could be troublesome. But, big bro, don’t you think this foodie is pretty powerful?"
Long Dangdang nodded, "More powerful than I imagined. That silverback gorilla was probably a Level 6 magical beast, equivalent to our 5th Rank. Your big rat is only Level 5, equivalent to 4th Rank, the same as you. It managed to break ranks by devouring and its opponent had no power to resist, which is really quite unusual. I just don’t know what its limit is. And you haven’t even advanced a rank yet, but it has already reached Level 6. The progress through devouring is somewhat fast."
Long Kongkong touched his nose, "Maybe it’s because I’m not far from the 5th Rank."
Indeed, during their joint cultivation process, he, without liquid spiritual power, actually made the fastest progress. Especially under the baptism of the Power of Moon Spirit brought by the Icy Moon Angel, his physical endurance also increased day by day, and since it was not liquid spiritual power he was dealing with, his progress was rapid. He was indeed not far from the 5th Rank.
Long Dangdang pondered, "When it advanced a level, it seemed to do something to you, but instead, it seemed to hurt itself. You better be more careful with it in the future. Although there are contract restrictions, these creatures summoned from a different world still have many aspects we don’t understand, so you must not be careless. You can’t use the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace to replenish its spiritual power so casually anymore."
Ling Menglu seemed to have forgotten the previous topic already, following Long Dangdang’s cue, "Your brother is right. Better to be careful. However, the longer the blood pact is completed, the deeper the bond between the two sides, and the less likely it is to violate the contract. The blood pact is a high-level contract, and there have been no historical reports of anything being able to fight against it. But you also need to be sincere to it. Through the blood pact connection, you two can easily forge friendships, and as the friendship deepens, even if it becomes incredibly powerful in the future, it will always protect you."
"Yeah, I understand. I didn’t sense any malice from it. If there was, I think the blood pact would have given me feedback." Long Kongkong said.
Thinking back now, he also felt that the Sky Devouring Rodent seemed to have done something to him back then, it felt a bit like when he first made a pact with it. But this time, he didn’t sense any malice from the Rat King. At least it seemed to have no intention of hurting him.
