Andrew turned around and said joyfully, "My lord, this mammoth agreed. It is willing to become your pet!"
"Please take it under your command now and treat its injuries."
Andrew seemed anxious, because as time passed, the mammoth's health had already fallen to just over 500.
Its breathing was also growing weaker and weaker.
Hearing that the mammoth had agreed, Cao Xing was somewhat surprised, followed by delight.
After all, this mammoth was a boss-level creature, and it was still in its juvenile stage. It could be said to possess tremendous potential!
If it became his pet and was combined with his talent, it would certainly grow into something incredibly powerful in the future!
But for now, he needed to form a contract with it first.
Cao Xing took the pet contract scroll from his backpack.
Beginner Pet Contract (Green): Can be used on a wild creature to make it your exclusive pet. Success rate: 5%–20%.
The success rate of this contract scroll was very low.
But now, since the mammoth had agreed of its own accord, it would not resist.
Therefore, the success rate of this contract scroll had reached 100%!
Use the Pet Contract Scroll to form a contract with Mammoth Lv.20?
"Yes."
The scroll in Cao Xing's hand vanished, transforming into a ball of white light that struck the mammoth's body.
At the same time, the mammoth seemed to sense something as well.
Its body twitched.
A moment later, a strange sensation also arose in Cao Xing's heart.
Somehow, he felt as though he had formed some kind of connection with the mammoth.
A system prompt appeared.
Contract successful. Icefield Mammoth has become your pet. Territory population +5.
Cao Xing froze. "It actually takes up five of my population slots?"
However, considering the mammoth's strength, it was not all that surprising.
An attribute panel appeared before Cao Xing.
Icefield Mammoth: Unnamed Race: Beast Detailed attributes: Same as above Satiety: 75 Loyalty: 80 Status: Near death "It can even be named."
Cao Xing pondered for a moment, then said, "From now on, your name will be Big White."5
Why not ban mammoths Mammoth: Big White naming successful.1
"Woo—"
Big White responded softly from the ground.
Cao Xing looked at its health, which was still steadily draining away, then turned to Liu Muxue beside him. "Muxue, cast Purification on Big White a few times first."
"Your Purification level isn't high right now, so you may need to cast it several times before you can remove all its negative statuses."
Liu Muxue nodded. "Okay, Ah Xing."
Then she raised her knight's longsword high above her head.
A rainbow aurora gathered at the tip of her sword before descending directly into the mammoth's body.
"May Sacred Aurora bestow its blessing upon you!"
In an instant, one layer of the mammoth's poisoned status was removed.
At the same time, Cao Xing raised his staff and cast an Ice Healing Technique on it.
A system prompt for his activated talent appeared.
Green +25, +25 recovery numbers also appeared above Big White's head.
Big White's health slowly recovered.
However, because its injuries were too severe, the healing effect was not very noticeable.
Likewise, damage numbers continued to pop up above its head.
-14
The health recovered each second could only barely offset the health Big White was losing.
If Cao Xing had not possessed the Eternal Power talent, then even if another Frost Mage had taken the mammoth as a pet, they would only be able to watch it die because their healing was insufficient.
The problem now was to stop the mammoth's wounds from bleeding first.
Cao Xing said, "Andrew, remove all the spears and iron chains from Big White. We need to stop its wounds from bleeding first."1
Andrew's loyalty was already close to Assam's. When it came to Cao Xing's orders, he almost obeyed without question.
He said respectfully, "As you command, benevolent lord."
Then he stretched out his bear claws and pulled the spears and arrows from the mammoth's body one by one.
Pfft! Pfft, pfft!
-74 -56
Each time one was pulled out, the mammoth let out a painful whimper, and a damage number appeared above its head.
Fortunately, as Liu Muxue continuously cast Purification and the Ice Healing Technique kept healing it,
those wounds quickly stopped bleeding.
At the same time, the damage numbers above the mammoth's head gradually decreased.
Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, they only had to wait for Big White's health to slowly recover.
However, with its full 15,000 health, recovery alone would take quite a while.1
Everyone waited silently.
At the same time,
Assam and Sarah had also finished cleaning up the battlefield.
Assam came to Cao Xing's side and handed him several cloth bags.
"My lord, these are the things we found on those hunters."
Cao Xing nodded and took them.
Obtained Coins ×642
With 642 coins earned today, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips.
At the same time, Sarah handed something to Cao Xing as well.
It was a pair of gray pants made from some unknown material, covered in layer upon layer of scales.
After Cao Xing took it, a system prompt appeared.
Obtained Scale Armor Leggings (Green) ×1
It was another piece of green equipment. Cao Xing looked at Sarah in surprise.
"This is..."
Sarah said calmly, "I stripped it off that hunter captain. It was the only valuable thing he had on him."
Cao Xing laughed and praised her, "Sarah, well done!"
Sarah pursed her lips and turned her head away, seeming indifferent to Cao Xing's praise.2
Cao Xing did not mind and checked the equipment's attributes.
Scale Armor Leggings (Green) Quality: Excellent Armor: 5–7 Additional Effect ①: Agility +3 Additional Effect ②: Fish Scale Armor (When hit by a physical attack, negates damage equal to 5 Strength.)
Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad. These pants can increase my armor by quite a bit."
He put them on directly, further improving his survivability.
After waiting for several minutes,
the Icefield Mammoth's health had recovered to over 10,000.
However, when its health reached 12,000, it stopped rising.
That was because it had entered a severe fracture state, reducing its maximum health by 20%.
"Mo... moo..."
Big White struggled to get up, seemingly trying to stand again.
However, because the bone in its right leg was broken, it tried several times before barely managing to stand in place.
And in this condition, even after standing up, Big White still could not move.
Cao Xing said, "Andrew, help Big White recover."
Andrew nodded. He understood what Cao Xing meant.
He walked behind Big White, lifted its thick elephant leg, and comforted it. "Child, bear with it for a moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, he gave it a fierce twist!
Crack!
A crisp sound of bones snapping back into place rang out.
-27242
"Moo—"
Big White let out a painful scream, its enormous body trembling nonstop.
Andrew gently stroked it, seemingly trying to soothe it.
Big White obediently remained where it was, enduring the pain as its entire body shook.
A moment later, as the Ice Healing Technique's continuous recovery took effect,
Big White's health began rising again.
Once its health gradually returned to full, Big White also recovered to peak condition.
Compared to the mammoth that had been lying on the ground and barely clinging to life just minutes ago, it now seemed completely reborn!
The mammoth raised its trunk and let out a roar.
"Moo—"
The roar was full of vigor and carried immense penetrating power.
The snow on both sides of the canyon was shaken loose.
Everyone could not help covering their ears. The cry made their blood and energy churn.
A level 20 boss-level creature was truly incredibly powerful.
Covering his ears, Cao Xing shouted, "Big White, don't roar so loudly."
Upon hearing Cao Xing's voice, the mammoth immediately stopped roaring and lowered its head.
Its bell-sized eyes stared at the man before it.
It knew that this human had saved it.
Big White walked over to Cao Xing and gently rubbed its trunk against his body.1
"Woo... woo..."
It was very affectionate toward Cao Xing.
Cao Xing happily stroked its trunk as well.
A system prompt appeared.
Because you treated your pet: Big White, its loyalty has increased. Current loyalty: 90. (Once loyalty reaches 100, you will fully gain this pet's trust and unlock the mount function.)
