The Rotten-Leaf Black Earthworm was stunned for a moment before it seemed to wake from a dream. It nodded repeatedly, then lay down at Chen Changming's feet like a docile puppy, its long body wriggling gently.
It was already a Level 7 Beast with its intelligence awakened, so it naturally understood what a formidable figure its master was, and that every beast pet under his command was stronger than itself.
Even without a formal contract, following such a master was far better than cultivating alone in the wild.
Although the master no longer required a contract, it was willing to submit to him of its own accord.
"Good, you may return for now."
Seeing the Rotten-Leaf Black Earthworm's willing submission, Chen Changming smiled with satisfaction and tucked it into his Beast Taming Bracelet.
The Rotten-Leaf Black Earthworm was actually quite powerful; as long as it was nurtured in the future, it would become just as formidable and serve as a valuable asset.
Swish!
With a light wave of his hand, Chen Changming summoned the Demon Spirit Vine. The vine still maintained the form of a large net, with the Cold Nether Spider trapped inside. After being "disciplined" by the Demon Spirit Vine, the creature had long since lost all its arrogance.
Chen Changming sensed its aura, and the smile on his face deepened. This Cold Nether Spider was actually a Level 8 early-stage Beast!
Such a beast, renowned on the Strange Insect Ranking, was comparable in cultivation to the third layer of the Nascent Soul Realm, but its combat prowess could rival a cultivator at the fifth layer of the Nascent Soul Realm.
"Are you willing to acknowledge me as your master?"
Chen Changming cleared his throat, fixed his gaze on the Cold Nether Spider, and asked with deliberate solemnity.
