["Sorry, the system is busy. Please try again later!"]
"NO! I choose NO!" Xiao Long continued to shout.
["Sorry, the system is busy. Please try again later!"]
[..."Three," "Two," "One."]
["Since you did not make a choice in ti, the system has automatically activated the Strongest Demon Beast System for you!"]
Xiao Long: "..."
"What kind of nonsense is this? Giving two options just to ss with ?" Xiao Long cursed in frustration.
Since the system was already activated, Xiao Long had no choice but to accept it. Once he breaks through to the Martial Emperor, no, the Demon Emperor realm, he must catch this troublemaker and whip its corpse.

[The gift pack contains: 1000 experience points, 1000 gold coins, a special item "Midas Touch," and a skill book "Beast Taming."]
["Midas Touch" Description: Instantly converts wild monsters within 5 levels higher than your own into gold coins. The number of coins is determined by the monster's level. Casting range is 10 ters, cooldown is 24 hours. (Upgradeable)]
"Beast Taming" Description: Can ta any demon beast not higher than your level, ineffective on wild monsters, cooldown is 15 minutes, can ta up to three. (Upgradeable)
"Yes." Xiao Long was too lazy to choose no, knowing it would be useless.
["Ding! Congratulations on reaching level 3! You need 300 more experience for the next level!"]
["Congratulations on learning the new skill 'Beast Taming,' level one."]
["Congratulations on obtaining the special item 'Midas Touch,' level one."]
Xiao Long felt a few new things appear in his mind: an inventory with a golden hand labeled "Midas Touch," and a skill bar with the detailed description of Beast Taming.
When Xiao Long looked inside his body at the demon core, he was surprised to find that its diater had reached three centiters, indicating he was now a third-level demon beast, and his strength had significantly increased, confirming his breakthrough to a third-level demon beast!
"Level 3, third-level demon beast, could it be that this system isn't ssing with ?"
Interesting.
He returned to the nest, where his two brothers were unhard, gathered around the massive black snake's corpse, unmoving, as if mourning.
"Strange, Black Spine Snakes are cold-blooded creatures, the lowest level of demon beast species, born without emotions. Could it be due to a bloodline mutation?"
Xiao Long was puzzled, looking at the black snake's corpse, feeling a twinge of pain in his heart, along with an overwhelming urge to "kill," which quickly sobered him.
It seed he was indeed affected by the Black Spine Snake's bloodline, becoming cruel and murderous, starting to hate humans.
"This bloodline is peculiar!" Xiao Long imdiately realized this, as it could influence his will as a Martial Emperor, indicating the bloodline's extraordinary nature.
No point in dwelling on it now; he would deal with the bloodline issue when he beca stronger.
He crawled over to his two brothers, and with a thought, began to use the skill "Beast Taming."
According to the skill's description, he could ta any creature not higher than his level. He first used the Beast Taming skill on the slightly larger black snake.
["Congratulations! You have successfully tad a Black Spine Snake, level 1, current tad beasts: 1/3."]
After the system prompt, the Black Spine Snake lifted its head, looking at Xiao Long with bright eyes. Xiao Long was surprised to find a sliver of soul communication had ford between them.
"Amazing!" Xiao Long had to admit, the Beast Taming skill was indeed unique.
After fifteen minutes, when the Beast Taming skill's cooldown was over, he used it on the second snake. It reacted the sa way, lifting its head towards Xiao Long, forming a sliver of soul communication.
"Haha!" Xiao Long was overjoyed.
"Can you understand ?" Xiao Long sent a ntal signal.
"We can!" ca the simultaneous reply from both sides.
"Damn!" Xiao Long was astonished.
With this, couldn't he teach them cultivation thods?
Xiao Long thought about it. The Azure Dragon To was extrely complex; even if they understood, they might not be able to practice it. After so thought, he decided to teach them a high-grade Yellow-level cultivation thod, "Subdue Dragon Art," which was highly suitable for snakes, along with a matching high-grade Yellow-level body refining martial art, "Subdue Dragon Battle Body."
With this cultivation thod and martial art, they would be nearly invincible among their peers and could fight against third-level demon beasts or humans at the third level of Body Refining.
"I'll call you Da Hei and Er Hei. I'm your boss. Practice this cultivation thod and martial art well; it will greatly benefit you."
"Yes, boss!" the two snakes responded, then returned to the nest to begin practicing the first level of the Subdue Dragon Art.
Xiao Long, in a good mood, left them alone and wandered off into the distance, wanting to find an opportunity to test the power of Midas Touch and ask soone about the current situation on the continent...

"Where did Zhang He and the others go? Why aren't they back yet?"
In a clearing in the woods, two n and a woman were sitting by a campfire, roasting a wild boar. They were all wearing robes with red Fire Cloud patterns, belonging to the sa sect as the two people Xiao Long had killed earlier.
"They caught a third-level Black Spine Snake, probably went to find its nest."
"It's just a few worthless snakes, how much could they be worth?" the haughty woman in the middle muttered.
This woman was plain-looking but had an astonishingly wide figure, as wide as two people, with a face full of fat, resembling a wriggling atball from a distance, estimated to weigh over 300 pounds.
"Sister Xue is right, we must teach them a lesson when they return." The two n quickly flattered her, with one even slicing a piece of wild boar leg to offer to Xue Yi.
Though Xue Yi was ugly, her status was extrely noble, being the biological daughter of an enforcent elder of the Fire Cloud Sect. She was spoiled and domineering, destroying anything she disliked, especially hating won prettier than her, often killing or disfiguring them. Many beautiful won had died at her hands, and everyone feared her wrath.
"After eating, go find them."
"Yes!" The two n dared not object.
At this mont, footsteps rustled nearby, and a man and a woman in white robes passed by. Seeing Xue Yi and her companions, their faces changed, and they quickly lowered their heads, pretending not to see them, hastening their steps to leave.
"Stop!" Xue Yi shouted.
The two halted.
"Seeing and not greeting, trying to sneak away, did you do sothing guilty?" Xue Yi's malicious eyes narrowed into slits.
Who didn't know of Xue Yi's notorious reputation? Cold sweat broke out on the two, cursing their bad luck for encountering such a demon.
"Sorry, we were in a hurry to get ho and didn't see Miss Xue. Please forgive us," the young man bowed.
"Heh, I don't think so. Two of my people are missing, and I suspect you killed them," Xue Yi accused without any evidence, placing the bla on them.

Xiao Long was wandering in the bushes when the system suddenly alerted him.
["System Alert: 300 ters northwest, five wild monsters detected."]
