At this moment, in a cave deep in the forest within the territory of the Western Expeditionary Empire, Cang Li stared at the red inscription on his arm and fell into deep thought.

That's right, the engraving on Yu Cangli's arm, just like the blue engraving on my shoulder, is a carving called 'Cang no Pattern', which is extremely rare, and the role of each engraving is very different.

At this time, Cangli sighed lightly, recalling the scene of the first encounter with Ladong in the past.

Five years ago, Cang Li did not become a 'ranger', at that time, he was just an ordinary low-level mage with ice attributes and bent on entering the 'Frost Heart'.

Until that day, the day that changed fate came.

On that day, according to the information provided by the intelligence agency, Cang Li walked out of the Giant Fortress alone, wanting to go to the snow-capped mountains in the neutral area to find a high-level ice attribute spar, which was extremely valuable whether it was used by himself or sold.

In the end, after going through many difficulties to successfully find it, he was about to return to the Western Expedition Empire, but found Ladong on this barren snow-capped mountain range.

At that time, Radon had just incarnated as an aspirit and was extremely vulnerable in every way, and was fighting a member of the 'Demon Boy Forge of the Ranger Guild' of the Eastern Crusade.

At the moment, Ladong is at a disadvantage, as it said just now, he will either be subdued by the Crusade Ranger, or he will end up in ashes.

Originally, the two great empires of the West and the East were in hostile forces, and seeing this scene, Cangli naturally intervened to stop it, wanting to prevent this Eastern Expeditionary Ranger from continuing to launch an offensive against Ladon.

As a fledgling and having never seen the world at all, did he know that the strength of the Eastern Expedition Ranger he faced had entered the eight-star upper rank.

At that time, Cangli, who was only a four-star lower rank, was not his opponent at all, and when he saw that the other party waved his hand, Cangli had become seriously injured, and he could not parry the opponent's attack at all.

At the moment, it is a desperate moment, if you don't do something, then Cangli will be buried in this snow-capped mountain range.

But even so, in the face of the other party's almost crushing power, Cangli at this moment is simply helpless.

However, at this moment, Ladong, who was covered in devastation, turned the snake's head violently, looking at Cangli who fell beside him, and the ice attribute high-grade spar scattered from his pocket.

The next moment, as soon as the scarlet snake letter spit out, he swallowed this ice attribute spar into his abdomen, and in an instant, Ladong's size surged, and the injuries on his body were also good.

Cangli, who was seriously injured and had a slightly blurred consciousness, looked at Ladong in front of him and seemed to feel a hint of change.

In the time that followed, Radon fought the Ranger in a desperate battle, which ended with Radon devouring the Ranger.

But although Radon finally won the victory, it also used all its strength, and was already seriously injured in the battle, the huge snake head had a wound that was almost penetrated, and at this moment, its huge head fell beside Cangli.

Seeing this scene, Cangli hurriedly ran to Ladong's side, looked at his scarred body, and couldn't help but stretch out his palm and touch Ladong's head.

"All things flow into my womb, and I am the serpent that devours the world...... Ladon"

The moment he touched Ladong, Cangli's voice sounded in his mind.

Such words did not pass through Cangli's ears, but more as if they came directly into his mind, and such a low and frightening voice came from his mind, and Cangli's body trembled subconsciously, and he moved his palm.

Just as Cangli removed his palm from Ladon's head, Ladon's voice naturally disappeared from his mind.

Cang Li, whose face was full of confusion and even a little fear, looked at the dying giant snake in front of him, and looked at its huge and scarlet snake eyes.

Cangli seemed to understand something from Ladong's eyes, so he frowned slightly, rolled up the sleeve of his right arm, and touched Ladon's head again in the palm of his hand.

The next moment, Ladong's words once again directly entered Cangli's mind.

"You gave up your life to save me, and I swallowed a piece of your spar, and in return, I also gave my life to save you, so that you and I don't owe each other......"

As soon as Keladong said this, a red brilliance suddenly appeared on Cangli's exposed right forearm, and the next moment the scarlet flowing carvings appeared on it.

Ladong's already dim eyes suddenly lit up at this moment, and he passed the words directly into Cangli's mind and said, "I ask you, do you crave the power of the ranger that I swallowed into my belly. ”

The sudden appearance of the mark on his arm at the moment, coupled with Ladon's words, Cangli was somewhat confused about the current situation for a while, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded heavily to express confirmation.

Seeing Cangli nodding, Ladong continued to say to Cangli: "Then, son of man, the contract has been signed!!" Before Cangli could react to the meaning of Ladong's words.

I saw that Ladong in front of him suddenly turned into a red star, like lightning, and entered Cangli's body.

Seeing this scene in front of him, it was like a dream, and such a huge giant snake suddenly entered his body, and Cangli after returning to his senses was inevitably panicked, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then hurriedly confirmed his body.

And at this moment, a huge head appeared in the bodies of Ladong and Cangli, leaned on Cangli's shoulder, looked at him and spat out the snake and said: "You and I have signed a contract, and from now on, you and I are one and the same......"

Next, on the way back to the Western Expedition Empire Firefly City, Cangli knew from Ladong's mouth that Cangli at this moment could already drive Ladong to fight for himself, and because of the contract signed with Ladong, Ladong had Cangli as the host and stored in Cangli's body, which also saved Ladong from the end of ruin.

And Cangli's personality is not suitable for being a magician who stays in the guild all day to study magic, so he also takes this opportunity to prepare to step into the 'ranger' rank.

After this incident, both Ladong and Cangli were blessed by misfortune, Ladong avoided the fate of death, and Cangli also got the opportunity to enter the 'Heroic Divine Tree'.

Perhaps, from the moment they met, their fate and bonds have been deeply condensed together.

And with the deepening of their time together, and the guidance of the president of the 'Valhalla Divine Tree', Gurimens, Cangli also realized more and more that his talent as a ranger was far higher than that of a mage......
