Sunny morning. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wild gophers emerge from the dirt and look around, looking for potential predators. After making sure that there were no predators left around him that could threaten his survival, they quickly came to the surface and collected the fruits that fell from the trees as quickly as they could. The brown hair glows with an incredible sheen in the sun.

Suddenly, the gopher's movements stopped. Just now, a dark shadow passed above his head, and his huge body suddenly blocked the sunlight, and the woods became pitch black. Instinctively feeling fear, they threw down the unfinished food in their paws, scattered their legs, and ran towards the cave. However, he was still a step slow, and although the entrance to the cave was just a stone's throw away, he didn't make it to his destination.

A larger paw slapped him underneath at once. However, he didn't use any force, so that he slapped this little dot into meat sauce. The owner of this furry paw, instead of having controlled his prey in a very savage way, as a normal predator does, gobbled up the food whole into his mouth as if he had not eaten for several days, but carefully picked up the gopher and carried it to an open field.

While it's normal for a clearing to appear in the woods, it's not a natural formation, but rather a forced force by the body of a behemoth. The roots of the originally tall and straight trees had been completely broken under the weight of this behemoth, and the fragile branches had fallen to the ground, leaving only a bare, badly deformed trunk.

This gopher, which was only the size of a human fist, was brought by Gaunt and brought to Li Xinghai.

Gaunt is a green-haired wolf. Being able to see such a strange creature in a novice area will make players as long as they are new players be wary. After all, wolves are a race that poses a great threat to humans in reality, not to mention a variant of cyan hair, which will always be reminiscent of colorful and highly venomous insects.

This green-haired wolf is indeed not very good-looking, the color of his hair is already quite ugly, coupled with his thin body, his limbs can only be described as skinny, and it seems that he has not eaten for a long time. When he was just holding the gopher in his mouth, saliva was oozing from the corners of his mouth. And now, even though the mission items had been brought to Li Xinghai, his gaze still fell on the gopher, and his eyes exuded a chilling fierce light.

Despite this, in the face of Li Xinghai, a giant beast several times bigger than him, Gaunt could only bow his head obediently like a puppy, and did not dare to make a mistake in front of his master. Although for Li Xinghai, "slave contract" is just a very simple word, and it is the grace he bestows on his enemies not to kill, but for the monsters who are forced to sign the contract, their future has been completely controlled by Li Xinghai.

Although their intelligence was very low, Li Xinghai unexpectedly found this blue-haired mutant wolf in the woods, and forced him to cry and beg for mercy in front of him with violence, and unexpectedly found that he was able to communicate with this wolf briefly.

"I forgot to mention that slave contracts are also hierarchical. Although you can also upgrade directly in the shop by spending shards, that would be very costly. In addition to this, you can also level up by constantly signing contracts and increasing your proficiency. ”

Liuyin sensed Li Xinghai's question and took the initiative to explain.

"Usually you get very little experience from signing a contract with your kind, which is why you've captured so many dragons before and still haven't leveled up. Either way, you've already accumulated a lot of proficiency before, so after this capture, your contract level has increased. ”

"A new level of contract with the addition of a simple telepathic ability. From now on, you can communicate with your slaves. However, because this ability is still in the early stages of development, there are still many limitations, which are essentially just broadening some functions that are not available in the panel, and these functions depend on the slave's own intelligence. After all, even if you have complete control over a single-celled organism, you won't be able to get any information from them. ”

When Liuyin was hidden in Li Xinghai's body, no one except Li Xinghai could know about his existence, and no one would hear the conversation between Li Xinghai and Liuyin.

The explanation of Liuyin just now made Li Xinghai suddenly enlightened. He had been frustrated that he was unable to communicate with other game characters, or even his own kind, except for Quicksilver, Gilme, and his mech golems. In this way, even if he captures a lot of monsters to serve himself, at best they are only low-level robots, and they can only do limited things for themselves according to the functions provided in the panel. However, with this simple communication ability, Li Xinghai can at least understand their living conditions better.

He wanted to make his slaves comfortable, not so that they could enjoy life, but so that they could work for themselves with a more positive attitude and greater efficiency.

The new contract has been of great help to Li Xinghai. Previously, if Li Xinghai wanted Gaunt to bring back a gopher, he could only order Gaunt through the panel to let him attack the gopher, and then ask him to transfer the gopher to the discovery field in front of him. And now, all he had to do was simply tell Gaunt to bring him a live gopher back, and the aforementioned scene happened.

Seeing this gopher trembling in front of him, Li Xinghai felt that his eyesight was almost insufficient. His current size has become very huge, although his eyesight has also increased a lot to a certain extent, but at this time, looking at such a small object, Li Xinghai still felt very difficult, so he signed a contract with the gopher very simply.

Before, his strength was too weak, and even against the goblins, he had to do everything possible to lure them into a corner, and then use violence to force them to submit. However, now he only needs to ask Gaunt to bring this gopher, whose strength is 108,000 miles behind his own, to him, and then in a flash, the gopher will become his slave.

Of course, Li Xinghai knew how weak the gophers were, and even the goblins could get rid of them like pests. He didn't expect the gophers to be of much help in his fight. However, the small size of the gopher has a very useful help for Li Xinghai. And in the game, although the sparrow is small, even the gopher, an ordinary small animal, can be regarded as a monster.

The game only has six attributes, water, fire, wind, light and dark, and the gopher belongs to the fire system, which has nothing to do with what Li Xinghai wants him to do next. Still, to compensate for the fact that the stats don't fully cover the monster's abilities, there's also a trait system in the game.

Like Li Xinghai's "dragon blood", gophers should theoretically have a very close relationship with the soil, so one of their characteristics is a project called "Introduction to Geology", which is very sensitive to the terrain and the quality of the land. Coupled with their natural ability to "find resources", they are able to quickly spot the nearest great place rich in water and plants. If this property continues to develop, it will even be possible to discover various rare mineral resources and predict potential geological disasters.

Li Xinghai's current plan is to open up a territory, plant a large number of herbs on it that can restore blood volume, and usually hoard power here, and when he acts, he doesn't have to bring a large number of flying dragons like before, so that he will become the handle of other opponents at every turn. Although opponents may also find this place, there are so many monsters here that ordinary human players and monsters don't dare to provoke easily, and they won't let themselves become too tempting.

And no matter what, Li Xinghai seems to have a strong instinct to find a place to live. However, under normal circumstances, Wyverns tend to be the type that tends to wander around, and there are very few freaks who often stay in caves. This made Li Xinghai feel very happy, no matter what, he still retained some of his instincts as a human being.

After signing a contract with the gopher, Li Xinghai easily established contact with the other party. However, as soon as he started a conversation with the gopher, he felt the fear of the gopher coming over him. Although being able to sense the true emotions of the slaves also helps to understand their state, Li Xinghai was so annoyed by such feelings that he let Gaunt press him under his claws all at once. Feeling the coldness of death coming from Gaunt's claws, the gopher's attention shifted to the urgency that Gaunt had brought, and his fear of himself diminished.

"I'm not going to kill you." Li Xinghai didn't want to be wasted by such a low-level thing, so he directly ordered in a tough tone, "Find me a more fertile land nearby, even if it is occupied, it doesn't matter." ”

Through the contract, Li Xinghai could feel that the gopher knew little about his orders, but he still gave back his understanding basically and correctly, and after Li Xinghai confirmed it, he immediately disappeared into the dirt as if he had been pardoned. Li Xinghai then breathed a sigh of relief. He was more worried that the gopher would be scared to death by himself than he was worried that the gopher would misunderstand him.

Although the gopher got into the dirt, Li Xinghai could still sense his existence through the contract, so he patiently waited for the gopher to walk out of the road in front of him, and then stepped out again, pressing the nearby trees into a flat surface and forcing a path.

At the beginning, Li Xinghai's patience was quite sufficient. After all, the location of the territory is not an easy task, and it directly affects the construction of the territory in the future. That's why he's willing to take the time to hire a gopher guide and choose a feng shui treasure for himself. However, as time passed, Li Xinghai's patience became less and less, and he almost couldn't help but give up searching. It took more than half an hour for the gopher to keep leading the way in front of him, and finally, before Li Xinghai decided to destroy the gopher with breath, the gopher took him to the vicinity of a river.
