The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 608 - 262: Red Rabbit Demon and Thumb Bull Demon_1

Demon Cave, Upper Sign Hall.

Upon Ye Hanjun’s third return, the bamboo cylinder abruptly became still, no longer producing signs to toss about.

"Regrettably, this game did not seem to keep Your Highness entertained."

The Changing Demon Fox bowed slightly, her expression undisturbed as though such scenes were nothing new.

"In that case, allow me to guide you to the next hall."

"Wait a moment!"

Ye Hanjun stopped the Changing Demon Fox, stating:

"My time is indeed a bit tight."

"If possible, please take me to the most mainstream game mode favoured by past holders of the Demon Cave tickets."

The Changing Demon Fox paused for a moment before resuming her stride:

"Very well, follow me."

"When it comes to the mainstream, undoubtedly, the ’Demon Well’ is the most interesting."

"The Demon Well?"

Ye Hanjun was completely clueless about the inner workings of the Demon Cave.

"Indeed."

The Changing Demon Fox, remaining half a step ahead of Ye Hanjun, calmly explained in perfect human language:

"Although it’s called a well, it’s better to perceive it as a door."

"You can use your creativity to use your blood, or your Contracted Spirit’s blood, to create your unique ’Blood Lure’."

"Placing this Blood Lure on the altar before the Demon Well will trigger a special formation pattern."

"When the demons in the cave get a hint of this, if they take interest in your Blood Lure, they are automatically identified as ’Beasts of Affinity’."

"The demon who responds first to you or whose bloodline is the most potent will be teleported to your presence. If you approve of them, you can immediately sign a contract."

"Sounds quite unique."

Thoughtfully, Ye Hanjun asked:

"I have a question. Does this ’Demon Well’ also not limit ranks?"

"If it’s the same, isn’t this just another form of draw?"

"Your Highness need not worry about this."

The Changing Demon Fox smiled a slight smile, politely explaining:

"You add your blood, or a Contracted Spirit’s Blood, and the rank of the demon you attract corresponds to that."

"Those stronger than you, those weaker than you, none will activate the Blood Lure’s transportation mechanism."

Ye Hanjun was taken aback as the furrow between his brows smoothed out.

This seemed much more sensible. As he stood at the 5th Rank, theoretically, he could make contracts with Clay Body, Rainbow Light, Jade Infant, Life Wheel, and Annihilation Rank demons.

But given his circumstance, clearly, nurturing from infancy would not be ideal.

The preferable choice would be a Wisdom-type Annihilation Rank Demon that had grown for a bit and had the ability to survive and judge independently.

The ’Demon Well’, being able to confine to a specific rank, would greatly narrow down the choices.

"Here we are, this is the place."

"After you, Your Highness."

The Changing Demon Fox opened the second mirror door, revealing not a closed room, but a vast grassland.

However, rather than lush green grass, the field here was covered with black demon grass and vibrant demon flowers.

"Your Highness, this is the Blood Slicing Knife, a custom bloodletting vessel."

"Even among humans of matching ranks and duties, there are slight variations in their blood."

"You may want to try the blood from your body. Generally speaking, the Night Family’s blood is highly favored here, most demons won’t resist it, and the stronger the power rank, the more they like it."

At this point, the Changing Demon Fox paused for a moment.

It seemed as though past events flashed in its mind. In the end, it added a reminder:

"Of course, this is not always the case."

"There was a Young King who used his blood as a Blood Lure, but failed to attract any demon responses."

"If you find that your own blood is incapable of attracting a satisfactory demon, you can try the blood of a Contracted Spirit, or even merge several types of blood together to form a Composite Blood Lure, which may produce surprisingly significant results."

"Sounds filled with arcane knowledge."

Ye Hanjun, having touched his lips, lightly sliced his wrist with the Blood Slicing Knife.

In an instant, thick plasma drained from his body, continuously filling the grooves on the knife.

"Ding!"

A crisp tone sounded, and a blood-red gem, the size of an egg, appeared in the indentations of the knife, emitting a faint, dark glow.

It wasn’t until this moment that a startled Ye Hanjun felt a bit dizzy.

Awestruck, his heart began to race.

This was unbelievable. As a ’Demon Ruler’, he possessed a passive ability known as ’Devil Heart’, which made his vitality far exceed that of other normal humans of the same rank.

Under these circumstances, how much blood did the knife draw to make him feel dizzy in an instant?

"Rest assured, Your Highness. The Blood Slicing Knife won’t harm people’s foundations. It sucks different amounts of fresh blood based on different people’s constitution."

"I’m fine."

Ye Hanjun waved his hand, grasped the blood-red gem, and asked in a deep voice:

"How do I use the Blood Lure?"

The Changing Demon Fox took a step forward. Behind her, a fluffy, orange tail rose, subtly pointing towards the sky:

"All you have to do is throw it into the well."

"I will protect you, there is no need to worry about being accidentally harmed by a demon."

Plop——

Ye Hanjun threw the gem into the dark well.

Next, there was no sound of the object hitting the ground. However, ripples appeared in the air, and light red mist continuously drifted towards the distant horizon.

"Chirk!"

In less than a breath’s time, a radiant figure lit up the grassland.

It was an extremely robust figure, standing about fifteen meters high. On a pair of slender long white legs, were thick clumps of red fur.

Looking up, Ye Hanjun saw a pair of swaying arms resembling those of a Boxer, each arm ending in a poised fist, brimming with the eagerness to fight.
