Xia Feng was taken aback for a moment, then looked at it warily, thinking the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python was about to self-destruct out of desperation.
Yet this Emperor Level Exotic Beast suddenly stopped in front of him, then lowered its two heads, emitting a buzzing, hissing sound.
Full of misery, full of plea.
"What does this mean?"
Xia Feng was unclear about the other's intentions.
"One hundred thousand years of cultivation is not easy... But please, valiant human, do not kill me..."
The Two-headed Python stuck out its tongue, uttering vague human words.
Begging for mercy?
Xia Feng and the five women were all stunned; they initially thought the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python would fight to the death, but unexpectedly, it directly conceded and begged for mercy.
"Why should I spare you?"
Xia Feng's eyes revealed a look of contemplation as he calculated in his mind, speaking coldly.
"You took my fruit... You have taken everything you wanted... I have not provoked you..."
Perhaps residing in the Great Wilderness Mountain Range for years, having little interaction and communication with humans, the Two-headed Python's expression of words was similar to that of a human child.
However, its words sounded extremely aggrieved, making Xia Feng feel like he was the villain.
"The way you said it makes me a bit guilty."
"Then let me go…"
The Two-headed Python said softly.
Xia Feng sighed and said, "Then let me ask you, in your cave, there are dozens of white bones. Did those human experts provoke you?"
The Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python's eyes flashed with a gleam.
To tell the truth, some were seeking rare treasures and intruded into its territory and were killed, and some were those it hunted for human Spiritual Qi.
It intended to deceive Xia Feng, but seeing the cold eyes of this man in front of it, it couldn't utter any lies.
"Some did, some didn't..."
In the end, it stammered out the truth.
"That's it." Xia Feng nodded, then stepped forward two steps and said, "To you Exotic Beasts, this is a world where the strong prey on the weak. You walk within the rules and should abide by them."
"You also know that fighting me for a long time would only lead to one path—death. Though your strength and venom are formidable, your attack methods are monotonous, and you won't be my match."
"If you want to live, give me a reason you can survive."
Facing those icy, piercing eyes, the Two-headed Python had no doubt Xia Feng would indeed kill it.
In the previous battle, it also discovered Xia Feng's strength was progressive, seemingly with far more hidden cards unutilized.
Moreover, throwing Emperor Level Divine Techniques and Martial Techniques as if they were limitless; other beasts of the same level would have long been exhausted, yet he remained unscathed, showing no signs of depletion.
The most crucial thing is... the kind of attack method used by Xia Feng was also remembered by the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python.
When it was still little, back then, the Great Wilderness Mountain Range had a Celestial Tier Third Layer Beast dominating, terrifying all Exotic Beasts to the point that they offered tributes according to the human's recorded year.
Once a year.
Either Spirit Fruits or living human Martial Dao experts.
To the young python, that Celestial Tier Third Layer Martial Sovereign Beast was like the sky and the mightiest beast it had ever seen.
Yet on a particular day, the enormous giant in its heart collapsed dramatically.
The three strong men from the human race who came to the Great Wilderness Mountain Range, much like Xia Feng, surrounded it tightly, then scattered Divine Power Martial Techniques recklessly, Spiritual Power dyeing the entire sky.
Not long after, that Celestial Tier Third Layer Martial Sovereign Beast died in its lair, its treasures accumulated over the years were taken by the human strong men, including even its remains.
If Xia Feng had been there, he would have recognized that those were the exclusive techniques of the Xia Family experts—the Nine Orifice Exquisite Heart.
"You... like them... don't kill me... I am willing to acknowledge you as my master..."
The Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python pondered for a long time and finally, after much inner struggle, spat out its tongue and muttered this sentence.
It formed countless psychological constructions, imagining how Xia Feng would exhaust it to death and then skin it alive if the conditions were unsatisfactory.
Instead of ending up like the former overlord, perhaps attaching itself to such a strong person is also a good option.
After finishing this, it cautiously observed Xia Feng's expression.
Although Xia Feng was expressionless as ever, he was somewhat bewildered inside.
What kind of move was this from the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python, leaving him a bit at a loss?
He initially intended for this Emperor Level Exotic Beast to offer him some treasures or valuable things, and he could laugh it off.
After all, it wasn't wrong; it hadn't provoked Xia Feng, yet he ran directly to its home to snatch its things.
Although humans and Exotic Beasts have irreconcilable blood feuds, seeing its pitiful appearance, Xia Feng still felt a bit reluctant.
"If that's the condition, I could agree to that."
After several seconds of silence, Xia Feng nodded and said.
Hearing this, the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python immediately raised its head and roared, then slowly lowered its two snake heads, quietly resting in front of Xia Feng.
Looking at the two snake heads in front of him, Xia Feng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth; at this moment, he really wanted to laugh.
But he restrained himself.
He didn't want to expose too much inner activity, for this Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python's intellect was still too naive; not letting it see the corruption of the adult world early was for its own good.
"Please, master, grant blood."
The Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python buzzed out.
Xia Feng hummed in response, then under the gaze of the five women, began performing the Blood Sacrifice to subdue the Exotic Beast.
The Blood Sacrifice Technique is essentially a master-servant contract.
In the world of Martial Artists, this isn't considered a rare Secret Technique, as any dynasty and Sacred Land with a bit of power can learn it.
There are even those who specialize in cultivating this path, using the Beast Control Dao to enhance their strength.
As the Emperor's Son of the Great Xia Empire, having stayed in the Imperial Capital for over a month, in dreams where time extended by ten thousand times, he has seen the vast collection of books.
Soon, a drop of Xia Feng's Essence Blood dripped from his hand, gradually dyeing the head of the Two-headed Heaven-Swallowing Python.
This Earth Tier Fourth Layer Exotic Beast obediently lowered its head, not resisting the blood contract ritual.
Approximately three breaths later, Xia Feng immediately felt a faint connection form between himself and the Exotic Beast before him.
This connection is one-way; he can use this connection to control the Two-headed Heaven-Swallowing Python, no matter how formidable its power becomes in the future, Xia Feng can render it instantly powerless, unable to mobilize any Spiritual Power.
This is the domineering power of the Blood Sacrifice Technique.
"Master."
Seeing the contract formed, the Two-headed Heaven-Swallowing Python slowly lifted its head, withdrawing the coldness in its eyes, and respectfully said to Xia Feng.
"Hmm, do you have a name?"
Xia Feng nodded, then as if remembering something, asked.
"To answer Master, my name is Nine Evils."
The Python thought for a while before nodding and saying.
It almost forgot this name, only remembering that when it was young, its parents would call it Xiao Jiu.
