Collar and Ring

"According to Boni's memories, besides using Warlock powers to sign a Soul Contract with the egg, there is another method. You, Master, must stay here with the egg for twenty days, for no less than three hours each day, and you must draw at least 50 milliliters of blood from your body daily to nourish the egg and establish a connection. Only then, combined with the power of the altar, can you make the creature inside the egg feel a sense of attachment toward you. Once you possess the power of a formal Level-1 Warlock in the future, you will be able to easily sign a Soul Contract with it and make it your Contract Beast."

Yang Feng couldn't help but gasp after hearing the Boni robot's words: "To hatch a single egg, he actually slaughtered 1,376 virgins! What a vicious guy!"

"Using living people for biological experiments is nothing rare for Warlocks. Many forbidden experiments require human subjects to obtain the most accurate and safe data. In the eyes of most Warlocks, mortals are no different from ants. During the Second Dynasty, the most insane era for forbidden experiments, hundreds of millions of humans died in various twisted trials. Demons, the great enemies of humanity, were themselves the product of a forbidden experiment during the Second Dynasty. The Second Dynasty was also destroyed by the hands of both Demons and humans."

"However, after countless painful lessons, the Durando Subcontinent has now banned the large-scale slaughter of civilians for biological experiments. Of the 1,376 virgins Boni used, over 1,000 were slaves bought from various places, and the rest were gifts offered to him. Using these slaves and gifts for his experiments did not violate the laws established by Warlocks; at most, he would only face some moral condemnation. That is why he kept it very secretive, placing the altar underground. He was the only one in the entire Wizard Tower who could enter this place," the Boni robot explained.

Yang Feng frowned slightly, feeling a vague sense that he had arrived in a rather insane world.

Yang Feng whispered: "If I had lost to Boni back then, I probably would have been captured by him and turned into material for human experiments!"

The Boni robot replied: "Yes!"

"A Contract Beast, huh!" Yang Feng looked at the strange egg in the center of the altar, which was pulsing with blood energy, his eyes flickering as he fell into a dilemma.

After killing Boni and capturing the Black City, Yang Feng would face a counterattack from the Fein Deluo Principality. This was the most dangerous period.

The best strategy, of course, was for Yang Feng's true body to hide in a basement no one knew about and wait for the storm to pass. He had already manufactured a large batch of Level-6 and Level-7 Main Battle Robots and could abandon everything to leave the Fein Deluo Principality and start over at any time.

Once Yang Feng chose to hatch the strange egg from the Forbidden Stone, he could face immense danger. The Fein Deluo Principality had been established for over three hundred years, and no one knew what kind of hidden foundation they possessed. In any case, every Warlock who had attempted to challenge the Fein Deluo Principality over these three centuries had died, and one even included a formal Level-2 Warlock.

Yang Feng hesitated: "Can it be moved or the hatching delayed?"

"It has already entered the final stage of incubation. Once that egg is removed from this altar, it will suffer severe damage, and its evolutionary potential will decline. According to Boni's memories, only a Great Warlock with vast knowledge or someone stronger could possibly move the egg or delay the hatching. If you move it now, it will lose its value as a Contract Beast. However, it could still serve as a rare specimen for studying the forbidden experiments of the Second Dynasty."

Nearly a million years had passed since the Second Dynasty, and many Forbidden Stones sealing various items had become extremely rare. It was a stroke of great luck that Boni had been able to obtain that Forbidden Stone. Even if the egg inside died, it would still hold astonishing research value in the modern era.

Yang Feng pondered for a while before finally making a decision: "Alright! My true body will rush here as soon as possible! You ensure the ritual continues."

Forbidden Stones were incredibly rare in the Durando Subcontinent; once discovered, they were almost always used immediately or snatched up by the six major powers. This egg obtained from the Forbidden Stone might be the last one in the Durando Subcontinent capable of becoming a Contract Beast, and Yang Feng did not want to let this opportunity slip away.

Boni said respectfully: "Yes, Master!"

Yang Feng took one last deep look at the strange egg resting on the altar before turning to leave the Wizard Tower.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion of the Black City.

Wizard Apprentices dressed in gray robes stood in neat rows, looking at Yang Feng, who sat in the main seat. Many of the apprentices had hateful glints in their eyes.

Standing beside the Wizard Apprentices were four hundred fully armed Mechanical Swordsmen; if the apprentices made even the slightest move, they would be slaughtered instantly.

"This Head Ring can detect your thoughts, and this collar is equipped with an Alchemy Bomb! If you harbor any unfavorable thoughts toward us, this collar will blow your heads off. Now, line up immediately and put on these collars and rings one by one. Otherwise, die right now!"

Yang Feng clapped his hands, and Mechanical Swordsmen walked out from both sides, carrying basins filled with black collars and Silver Rings.

Upon hearing this, the Wizard Apprentices turned pale, looking at each other in hesitation.

Yang Feng said coldly: "I will give you 10 seconds to consider. Those who are not in line after 10 seconds will die! 10..."

Hearing the death countdown, the Wizard Apprentices turned pale and quickly formed a long line.

Yang Feng scanned the hall and said coldly: "0! Kill those who didn't line up!"

Two hundred swordsmen charged into the ten hesitant Wizard Apprentices, swinging their blades wildly and easily hacking them into pieces.

The remaining Wizard Apprentices were pale and trembling, their eyes filled with endless terror.

"Begin!" Yang Feng sat in the main seat, resting his face on one hand, coldly glancing at the remaining Wizard Apprentices.

Under Yang Feng's command, the Wizard Apprentices from the Black Hut stepped forward and cautiously put on the black collars and Silver Rings.

Bang!

After one Wizard Apprentice put on the black collar and Silver Ring, the Silver Ring lit up, and the black collar exploded instantly, blowing the apprentice's head off.

Seeing this, the other Wizard Apprentices trembled with fear, looking at Yang Feng as if he were a terrifying demon king.

Yang Feng sneered: "Trying to fake a surrender and then assassinate me? Interesting! Your thoughts can never be hidden from that Silver Ring, a secret treasure. Continue!"
