Chapter 212 - Ch 212: Dark Demon Wolf
Lin Hao did not think that the reason why Ye Xiao told him to tame this wolf-like beast was because of any of the reasons he explained just now and his assumption was right.
Ye Xiao nodded his head and said, "You are right. This beast is no normal beast. It is called the Dark Demon Wolf. It can only be found in a place filled with darkness. I don't know why this wolf is here but if you can tame it, this wolf can become one of your greatest strengths."
"While fighting against a demon or demonic cultivators, this wolf can help you a great deal. It is also known as the ban of a demonic cultivator. Any attack from a demonic cultivator will be ineffective against it and if a person were to make a contract with it, it grants this ability of it to its master."
"What is more, it can grow limitlessly. So, if you could tame it and make a contract with this Dark Demon Wolf, it will be very beneficial for you."
When Lin Hao heard this, he was surprised. He did not know how Ye Xiao knew all of this but does this really matter?
The answer was no, it doesn't matter at all. Right now, what he needed to do was to tame this beast.
Ye Xiao once again said, "The Dark Demon Wolves are a very prideful race. It will rather die than let anyone tame it. very few people were able to tame it, but how, no one knows. So, be careful while you try to tame it!"
Lin Hao nodded his head and looked at the Dark Demon Wolf who was also looking back at him and Ye Xiao.
"Roar!"
Feeling a type of expectation in Lin Hao's gaze, the Dark Demon Wolf growled slowly as if it was giving Lin Hao a warning not to do something that he should not do.
"Darky, let's sign the equal contract, how about it?" Lin Hao looked at the Dark Demon Wolf and joked but what surprised him was that the Dark Demon Wolf actually shook its head.
Ye Xiao was also surprised to see this. Although he knew about the Dark Demon Wolf because of the memories of three ancient gods, he did not know much about it.
Seeing it shaking its head, Lin Hao said in surprise, "It actually understood what I said. Didn't it mean that it also understood everything we have talked about before!"
"Yes, I think it understood everything we have talked about before!" Ye Xiao took a long breath and said.
"Sigh! Hey, Darky, let's talk!" Lin Hao took a deep breath and said after thinking about something. Then he walked toward the Dark Demon Wolf and arrived in front of the Dark Demon Wolf.
Although the Dark Demon Wolf did not attack, it prepared to attack at any moment when it saw Lin Hao walking toward it.
"Let's sign an equal contract!" Lin Hao said.
"Roar!" The Dark Demon Wolf shook its head, indicating that it will not sign any contract with Lin Hao.
"Listen carefully, if you did not sign a contract with me, I have to kill you, and believe me when I say that I have the strength to kill you. If you sign a contract with me, not only will you be able to keep your life, I will also help you grow and with my help, you will grow stronger much faster." Lin Hao sat down on the ground with the support of his feet and then tried to convince by threatening and tempting the Dark Demon Wolf.
"Howl!" The Dark Demon Wolf once again shook its head without any hesitation, denying the offer given by Lin Hao.
Lin Hao did not say anything for a long time. He once again took a deep breath and said, "Ok, if you don't want to sign a contract with me, it is ok. How about following me! Follow me and I will take you to the Upper Realm where Immortals resides. There, you can grow stronger with my help and you can also help me with some other things. How about it?"
This time, the Dark Demon Wolf did not shake its head or growl. It kept looking in Lin Hao's eyes and after a few breaths of time, it finally nodded its head and agreed to follow Lin Hao.
A smile immediately appeared on Lin Hao's face. He looked at the Dark Demon Wolf and said, "Good, then from now on, I will call you Darky."
After saying that, he looked at the Black Heart Flower and asked, "Can I take that Back Heart Flower?"
"Howl!" The Dark Demon Wolf nodded its head, indicating Lin Hao that he could take the medicinal herb. It was already a Grade Six Magical Beast and the Black Heart Flower will have only a minimal effect on it.
"Black Heart Flower?" When Lin Hao heard this, he was surprised. The Black Heart Flower was a Grade Six Medicinal Herb that could help a Martial King Realm martial artist to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm.
If he were to plant the Black Heart Flower at the Second Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda, not only will it evolve to the Seventh Grade Medicinal Herb, its effect also be doubled which could help a Martial Emperor Realm martial artist to break through to the Martial Ancestor Realm and there will still be a large possibility that it might also help a Martial Ancestor Realm to breakthrough to the Martial Saint Realm.
Ye Xiao followed Lin Hao's gaze and discovered the Black Heart Flower blooming not much further. He then looked at Lin Hao and said, "Lin Hao, You take the Black Heart Flower and give me its root."
Lin Hao was confused but did not say anything. He just nodded his head toward Ye Xiao. According to Lin Hao's point of view, Ye Xiao's master was the Grandmaster of Alchemy and he also knew how to refine pills so there might be some need for the root of the Black Heart Flower.
After taking the Black Heart Flower, he gave its root to Ye Xiao and Ye Xiao immediately wrapped his divine sense around the Black Heart Flower and planted it on the Second Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda without going there.
Lin Hao thought that Ye Xiao has stored the root of the Black Heart Flower in his spatial ring.
"I don't know what danger is waiting for us at the other side of this Bronze Door so I will first breakthrough to the Martial Emperor Realm and then we will go there!" Lin Hao said to Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao nodded his head and then asked in confusion, "What is this place? Is it some kind of ruin or what? And how much time has passed since I lost my consciousness?"
"It is already been six months from the time when you lost your consciousness. As for what this place is, even I don't know. I am here to help an old man who is also an Immortal from the Upper Realm. He is sealed somewhere and I am here to unseal the seal. To do this, I have to search for the Golden Door."
Lin Hao explained to Ye Xiao what he was doing here. Ye Xiao thought for a while and again asked, "You promised to this Dark Demon Wolf that you will bring it to the Upper Realm. You did this because that Immortal promised you that he will bring you to the Upper Realm, right?"
"Yes!" Lin Hao nodded his head.
"Are you sure about this? I mean, will that old man keep his promise?"
"I don't know but yeah! From the way he was talking to me, I think he will keep his promise!"
"Hmm, ok then, hurry up and breakthrough to the Martial Emperor Realm. I will not be able to hold on for a long period of time. The energy within my body is too chaotic right now. It is becoming very difficult for me to suppress these energies! I don't know when I will again lose my consciousness once again but even if I don't, I will not be able to help you much, after all, I am suppressing this chaotic energy within my body with much difficulty." Ye Xiao said.
Hearing this, Lin Hao asked, "I asked that old man and he said that the chaotic energy within your body is because of the power of the world. Can you tell me what have you done with that giant before? When you lost your consciousness before, I checked the giant. He was turned into a mortal and there was no world within his body!"
"Actually, I... devoured his world, and only because of that, the energy within my body is this chaotic!" Ye Xiao hesitated a little but lastly, he still chose to answer Lin Hao's question truthfully.
