“He succeeded.” The one-eyed old man whispered in surprise. The body of radiance gradually returned to normal, and the golden light patterns in the sky disappeared.

The old man’s forehead was already sweating, obviously, supporting this huge teleportation array was a great burden for him.

As soon as he heard that it was done, Ye Hua rushed over and came to the old man’s side, looking towards the center.

As the golden light faded, Long Haochen’s figure gradually appeared before their eyes, except for being a little pale, there were no other changes.

With the return of his soul, Long Haochen’s first feeling was emptiness, emptiness from the inside out. The inner spiritual power in his body was almost exhausted, the originally slowly rotating funnel vortex almost stagnated, and even the light of the Holy Origin Spiritual Stove was dimmed a lot. Fortunately, as a knight, he still had external spiritual power. Although he felt empty inside, it did not affect his normal actions.

Subconsciously, Long Haochen turned his attention to the aura in front of him. After spending so much effort, he had been at Knight Sacred Mountain for a month, all for the sake of it, right?

However, when Long Haochen saw the partner in front of him with whom he had formed an equal contract, he was stunned. Ye Hua and the one-eyed old man not far away were also stunned.

Their stagnation was not because the magical beast partner Long Haochen summoned was too powerful, but because it was really…

It was a lizard about one meter long, covered with a thin layer of black scales. The shape of the scales was a bit strange, some like trapezoids, with both sides converging downwards in arcs, eventually converging together, somewhat like the tower shield in the hands of a heavy knight.

The head was no different from an ordinary lizard, and a pair of small red eyes were blinking as it looked at Long Haochen, unspeakably affectionate. A snake-like tongue flickered uncertainly, seeming to sense his aura at Long Haochen’s feet.

If it was just like this, Long Haochen wouldn’t be stunned, at most he would have summoned a two-level Earthfire Lizard. However, on this lizard’s body, there were crisscrossing at least a dozen scars, flowing with dark red blood, and there was a large bulge on its neck, almost as thick as its neck. Coupled with its scars, it could be considered a compliment to describe it as ugly.

Long Haochen never expected that what he had summoned after so much effort was actually a two-level Earthfire Lizard that looked disabled and even had some malignant mutations. Since he started cultivating, everything could be considered smooth sailing, this was the first blow he had suffered.

“Woo-woo—” The Earthfire Lizard seemed to be enjoying the aura on Long Haochen’s body, rubbing against him, its small red eyes full of affection.

A bitter smile appeared on Long Haochen’s face. Through the equal contract, he could feel that this Earthfire Lizard’s strength was only around the middle stage of the second level.

King of the Starry Unicorns, are you lying to me? You said that even you are not qualified to form a contract with my Light Body, but what is this in front of me? A two-level Earthfire Lizard.

Ye Hua silently walked to Long Haochen’s side and pulled him up from the ground. He said faintly, “The setbacks you have suffered are nothing compared to what I experienced back then. If you can’t find a satisfactory mount partner on the Sacred Mountain, you can rely on hunting in the future. If you can reach the level of a Divine Seal Knight, even subduing a dragon is not impossible.”

With a clang, Ye Hua drew the heavy sword behind his back, and a sharp killing intent arose spontaneously.

The Earthfire Lizard seemed to sense the threat to its life. Although it was covered in scars, it flashed and hid behind Long Haochen, only revealing its head with the bulge, looking at Ye Hua with some fear.

“Teacher, what are you doing?” With a clang, Long Haochen only had time to draw his heavy sword and used the hilt to block Ye Hua’s downward slashing heavy sword.

Ye Hua was stunned for a moment, “Silly boy, don’t tell me you’re going to take this little cripple away? You must know that if you don’t kill it, you will never be able to form an equal contract with a magical beast again.”

There was unwillingness, helplessness, and even a hint of anger in Long Haochen’s eyes. However, there was not the slightest bit of killing intent.

“Teacher, do you remember the story you told me about you and your Earthshaking Eagle partner? In your most difficult time, it chose you. You treated it as a family member. Didn’t I summon this little guy at the last moment? Although it is not strong, and even has disabilities, it is ultimately a partner who has formed a contract with me.”

“We are partners, and I will protect its safety. Even if I don’t have a real mount in this life, I can’t abandon it just because I dislike it. It’s not because I’m afraid of leaving a shadow. At the moment of forming the contract, it was already my family.”

As he spoke, Long Haochen slowly squatted down and gently touched the Earthfire Lizard’s head. Its scales felt smooth like silk to the touch, not hard at all.

The Earthfire Lizard didn’t move, as if it had turned into a sculpture, staring at Long Haochen with its small red eyes.

“Don’t worry, little guy, I won’t abandon you. I won’t let you fight for me either. I just hope you can be my friend, okay?”

The Earthfire Lizard’s eyes regained their spirit, and it lightly extended its tongue and licked Long Haochen’s hand.

Ye Hua sheathed his heavy sword and sighed, “You child, you are just too soft-hearted and too emotional.”

Long Haochen looked at his teacher with some apology and said, “Teacher, don’t worry, I will definitely cultivate hard. Even without the help of a mount partner, I will definitely not lose to that Ghost Martial. Teacher, my inner spiritual power is exhausted, can you help my partner heal its injuries?”

What else could Ye Hua say? He could only silently nod his head and say, “Okay.”

Just as golden light was shining on his hands, about to release a recovery skill, the one-eyed old man, who hadn’t said a word for a long time, suddenly shouted in a deep voice, “Wait a minute.”

“Huh?” Long Haochen and Ye Hua looked at him at the same time.

The one-eyed old man said in a deep voice, “If you don’t want it to die, don’t heal it.”

Long Haochen stood up and asked doubtfully, “Senior, why is that?”

The old man’s only eye looked at him seriously and smiled, “You are very good, really very good. In you, I see the compassion and benevolence in the knight’s code. Unfortunately, although you are kind and do not dislike this little guy, I am afraid you still cannot take it away. Because, it has a dark constitution. Once it is treated with light attribute skills, it will only cause harm to it.”

“Dark constitution?” Long Haochen said in surprise.

The old man nodded and said, “Among the magical beasts summoned through the teleportation array, some are from levels similar to the abyss. No matter what attribute they have, they will naturally have some dark constitution. All magical beasts with dark constitutions will be strangled by the light array here as soon as they leave this cave, and here, it cannot be sent back to its original place through a contract. No array-like magic can work here. Although I am very strange why such a magical beast with a dark constitution would be close to you and form a contract, I have to say that coming here is almost like it is seeking its own death.”

“What?” Long Haochen was shocked, and the Earthfire Lizard also seemed to understand his words, clinging to Long Haochen’s body and shivering, its small red eyes full of fear.
