Chapter 512: Ruins in the Sea (Part II)
A quaint pact emerges in front of Hachi and the Deep Sea Octopus King. Although he had been prepared for a long time, when he saw this contract, the Deep Sea Octopus King couldn't help but show bitter fluctuations.
This is a very old master-servant contract, but because of its antiquity, its limiting ability is also extremely strong, once this contract is signed, as a servant, once you have a different heart for your master, you will immediately be affected by the contract and be destroyed. Once this contract is signed, it will no longer be free unless the owner wishes. Even if the master dies, he will die with him.
Looking at this contract, the Deep Sea Octopus King did not say for a long time that this choice was too difficult for him. But if he didn't choose, then he was sure that this human would not hesitate to kill himself.
This contract was given to him by Danatos, and the explanation given to him by Danatos was that with the constraints of this contract, it was impossible for him to lie to you. Although Hachi himself doesn't know what the effect is, looking at the appearance of the deep-sea octopus king, Hachi can probably guess a thing or two.
"I only need you to follow me for a hundred years, and when the hundred years are up, I will give you back your freedom. "Hachi sent a message to the Deep Sea Octopus King.
Hearing Xiaohachi's transmission, the deep-sea octopus king's eyes lit up obviously. In fact, it is not afraid of being a slave of human beings, but he is more worried about the short life span of human beings. Compared to these sea beasts, the lifespan of human beings can be said to be too short, unless it is those who have already cultivated beyond the mortal realm, they can greatly extend their lifespan.
But how many people in the world can cultivate to that realm? Although Xiao Hachi is amazing enough, the Deep Sea Octopus King is still unwilling to take risks. After all, the kick at the door is not all broken by accumulation and talent, but more of an epiphany. In fact, the deep-sea octopus king has long stopped thinking about whether to be a slave, and the question it has been thinking about is whether to gamble on whether this human can step into that realm to extend its lifespan. If not, then it would be better for it to live for more than 100 years as well as die now.
A ball of turquoise blue light rose from the center of the deep-sea octopus king's eyebrows. As soon as this ball of light appeared, even the pitch-black deep sea was given color. Although the surrounding vegetation and creatures were destroyed during the battle between Hachi and the deep-sea octopus king, the clear water also makes people feel like they are in a fairy tale.
That turquoise ball of light is the soul fire of the Deep Sea Octopus King, and it is also its core. When the light cluster merged into the ancient contract, the entire contract suddenly shone brightly, and a phantus image identical to the king of the deep sea octopus appeared on it.
Under the guidance of Danatos, Hachi stretched out his hand, and a blood-colored light shot out of his hand, shooting right on the eyebrows of the phantom of the deep-sea octopus king that emerged.
The blood-colored light quickly composed a row of quaint words on its head, and when these words flashed nine times, the words suddenly converged and turned into a red dot, like a cinnabar seal, printed on the center of the eyebrows of the Deep Sea Octopus King Phantom. At the same time, the same mark appeared on the head of the Deep Sea Octopus King on the other side of the contract.
At this point, the Deep Sea Octopus King has an absolute obedience shackle in his brain, and this shackle not only restricts its thinking, but also changes its consciousness all the time, and it won't be long before the Deep Sea Octopus King can't even give birth to the idea of disobeying Hachi, and then it will become the most heartfelt servant.
Originally, Hachi wanted to kill the Deep Sea Octopus King, but when Danatos said that he could take him as a servant, Hachi immediately chose Danatos's Jian YƬ without hesitation. Because this can be said to be the best way, as long as Hachi subdues the Deep Sea Octopus King and lets it continue to lurk here, then there will be no new sea monster invasion in the sea outside Ailan City, and there will be no more sea monsters eating people and destroying people, or needing to use living people to commemorate.
"What's your name. Hachi spoke.
"Master, my name is Mo Li" The Deep Sea Octopus King, who had turned into a servant, had obviously changed a lot in his attitude, and said modestly.
Xiao Hachi nodded and asked, "Tell me why, why are you entrenched outside Ailan City, as far as I know, you sea beasts should prefer the far sea, where the sea life is much more abundant than the inshore sea." And entrenched here, destroying the merchant ships that come and go, and even asking for some sea god sacrifice, aren't you afraid of angering the human race?"
A trace of struggle flashed in Mo Li's eyes, but it was quickly annihilated by some red runes, which was the credit of the contract, even if it didn't want to say it, but under the constraints of the contract, it could only open its mouth to answer.
"The master is right, we sea beasts prefer the far sea to the near sea, especially those of a large size like me. I'm here because I received a call from my friend before he died. ā
"Huh? Hachi stared at Mo Li.
"Master, it came to pass that hundreds of years ago, I suddenly received a call from my friend Shah, who told me that he had found a treasure, but because of the pursuit of humans, he did not have enough time to open it, and he did not want other sea beasts to find out, so he called me to fulfill his wish. ā
Listening to Moli's words, Hachi knew that the one named Shah should be the last sea monster that was killed by the resistance of the people of Ailan City. "It seems that the sea near Ailan City is really the same as the uncle guessed, what secrets are hidden, no wonder there are sea monsters who have been coming here. ā
At this time, Mo Li's words continued: "I rushed over after receiving its call, and before I could arrive, Shah was already dead. When I arrived, I immediately sensed a strange power in the middle of the sea, which was very subtle, but the energy contained in it was very large. This surprised and delighted me, and I immediately used my own domain to cover this sea area to cover up the fluctuations of the treasure, lest other passing sea beasts find out. ā
"In our Sea Beast Realm, there is an unwritten rule that sea beasts are not allowed to set foot in the area of another sea beast at will, unless the sea beast that controls the sea area dies or wags war against it. And this area belongs to the offshore sea, and the sea beasts are generally reluctant to involve it, so when I occupy this place, after covering it with a domain, I can monopolize this place. ā
Hearing this, Xiao Hachi's eyes were cold: "Since you have already monopolized this place, why do you still attack the human race, and even ask the people of Ailan City to give you a sacrifice for the child!?"
Hearing Hachi's words, Mo Li trembled, because of the contract, he could feel that Hachi was really angry, which made it from the fear of the soul, and the huge body kept trembling.
"Lord... Master, I didn't mean to, and I don't want to. Just to open the treasure... I also had no choice but to do it, or I didn't want to be hostile to humans, and that's how Shah died. ā
"Say it clearly!" Hachi's voice was still cold.
Mo Li secretly glanced at Xiao Ba, and his huge body seemed a little incompatible with his timid demeanor at this time: "Although I took a light picture of that treasure, I couldn't open it like Shah. I've tried countless things I can think of, but I still can't turn it on, which makes me irritated. At this time, I thought of Shah, who was killed by humans. However, we sea beasts and humans are like creatures living in two worlds, and generally do not provoke each other lightly, so I conclude that Shah must have something else hidden when he was killed by humans. ā
"So, like a merchant ship departing from Ailan City, I took the people on board. When someone saw me, they screamed in panic that the sea monster had reappeared and was about to arrest someone again. From his shouting, I knew that the reason why Shah was hunted down by humans must be because he went to capture humans. And we don't need to eat humans, it's no different from eating fish for us, so there must be a reason why Shah ventured to catch humans. I took these humans to the treasure and hoped that they would open the treasure. ā
"It backfired, they couldn't crack the mechanism of the treasure, in order not to expose the treasure, I had to kill them, but when I killed them, their blood actually sent out the treasure, so that the treasure changed, although it was not opened, but this allowed me to find the clue to open the treasure. ā
"Later, after many experiments and explorations, I found that five or six-year-old children have the best effect, and it does not need many two a year, so I made a pact with the humans at that time, I will not harm the ships they come and go, but they must give my two children a sacrifice every year, so there is what you call the sea god sacrifice. If it weren't for you, master, I would have been able to open that treasure in another hundred years..."
After hearing this, Xiaoba pondered for a moment and said, "Take me to see your so-called treasure." ā
