Chapter 204 Forced Contracting
"Forced contracting?" Xu Si's crimson pupils narrowed slightly; this was a bit terrifying!
"What level of anomalies is it effective against? What are the limitations?"
Dou Dou felt a little nervous under Xu Si's excited gaze and subconsciously moved closer to Master Wei.
"I...I haven't tried any other weird stuff. I don't know!" Her voice trailed off.
"If we're still using contracted bulls, how many more do you think we could contract?" Fu Xiaojian and Xu Si exchanged a glance, and Fu Xiaojian asked again.
The limitations are obvious, but the potential is huge; after all, they have captured the supernatural before.
The little girl can't catch any strange creatures, but they can. From now on, if they see any strange creatures that catch their eye, they'll just catch them.
Xu Si, Su Su, and Ta Shan all possess the ability to capture the bizarre.
"Niu Niu? I still have two contract slots! I should be able to contract two more!" Dou Dou's eyes lit up because she thought she was going to find a companion for Niu Niu.
"Contractual position?" Everyone heard a new term.
"That's right, I can only sign three contracts now. If I want to sign something else, I have to cancel the existing contracts!"
Once that was said, everyone understood.
But that's already terrifying!
The three-headed monster can do a lot of things!
If it's a three-headed building, then even if they don't walk sideways, they can avoid a lot of trouble and don't need to burn oil!
People now have an unprecedented understanding of the eerie, and even feel a sense of familiarity with it!
Fu Xiaojian's breathing became noticeably more rapid, and the pain in his ribs seemed to be overshadowed by the sudden shock.
Three contract positions, at least three strange entities!
If used properly, the convoy's survivability and combat effectiveness will undergo a dramatic transformation.
No longer just about escaping and defending, they can even actively hunt and establish strongholds.
Even... a glimmer of hope for rebuilding order.
What if the contract is with a high-ranking monster? Then, could they occupy a city, a human city, just like the [Lou Mi King]?
Moreover, there are three now. What if DouDou advances to Sequence 3, Sequence 4, or even a higher sequence?
Is it possible to awaken more contract slots? Would establishing a base then still be a pipe dream?
The light from the campfire reflected the thoughts that flashed quickly in his eyes.
These words made everyone realize DouDou's true value, except for DouDou herself.
"Grandma Xin wants you to leave with our convoy. We called you here to ask you what your thoughts are?" After realizing Dou Dou's value, Fu Xiaojian immediately changed his tune.
DouDou paused for a moment, then turned around to look at Grandma Xin not far away, seemingly lost in thought.
"Will you... take Grandma Xin and the others with you?" At this moment, Dou Dou's smile disappeared, replaced by a serious expression like that of a little adult.
"Of course!" Fu Xiaojian didn't hesitate at all. He would think it was worth it even if there were thirty children, let alone three or four.
"That's great, I'd love to!"
"But if we take Niu Niu with us, we won't have anywhere to put our things! He can't walk fast!" Dou Dou said, somewhat conflicted.
"You mean you can take that vortex bull away? How?" Fu Xiaojian really couldn't imagine how a vortex bull the size of a house could be taken away!
"Niu Niu will enter a cave-sleeping state on its own, which means it will completely retract into its shell, shrinking to the size of a backpack. However, the inner chambers become unusable, and we can't live inside anymore!"
"We need to take everything we put inside out too!"
"Ah?" Xu Si suddenly realized why Grandma Xin had them take the little ones away; she had made plans beforehand.
This surprise is no less than the surprise of DouDou's identity as a Divine Contract Master!
After all, this represents a stable food output.
Although they may not have many options right now, they will eventually find a place to stay.
By then, Niu Niu will be the ultimate cowboy.
"You mean this huge thing will grow to about the size of a backpack?"
Jiao Jiao exaggeratedly compared the big shell of Niu Niu to the small size of her schoolbag.
"Yes, we tried that before when we went out of the valley to find other habitats."
"It's not heavy, I can carry it myself," DouDou explained again, seemingly afraid that they would abandon NiuNiu.
This saved Xu Si a lot of trouble, but if Dou Dou held a grudge, it would still be a bit difficult for him.
We can't really eliminate the young girl completely!
He's not that depraved!
"Okay." Fu Xiaojian's voice was steady and powerful, making the final decision.
"We'll take you and Niu Niu with us. Go back and tell Grandma Xin when it's convenient for us to set off," Fu Xiaojian said.
"Oh? But Niu Niu eats very slowly, it might take two or three days!"
"How can it eat this little bit of food for two or three days?" Jiao Jiao asked, puzzled.
There weren't many bushes along the stream, so it would only take her a few minutes to pluck them. But seeing how that silly guy ate, she understood.
"It's alright, three days is fine!" Fu Xiaojian said directly, the convoy could afford to wait.
"Everyone, take these two or three days to heal your injuries and get back into top shape. This is a rare chance to catch your breath."
The team should have taken a break a long time ago.
With so many wounded soldiers, no one knows what dangers they might encounter if they force their way out.
He looked at Dou Dou, his tone softening slightly: "Dou Dou, go tell Grandma Xin that we'll wait for Niu Niu to finish eating before we leave together. Also..."
He paused for a moment and then continued.
"Be sure to ask if you need help."
"Mmm!" Dou Dou nodded vigorously, her eyes curving into crescents. She turned and ran towards Grandma Xin, her little braids swinging behind her.
Master Wei remained silent, following behind her like a quiet shadow.
Jiao Jiao whispered to Su Su, "Auntie, that calf... can it really grow to the size of a schoolbag? I really want to see..."
"This is a pleasant surprise. I thought I wouldn't be able to take it with me!" Fu Xiaojian felt like he had found a lottery ticket and won the grand prize.
Xu Si was rather annoyed. He couldn't possibly be happy about being robbed of something strange. Fortunately, the little girl could only form a contract with three heads.
If he could have unlimited contracts, he would never be able to delete all his accounts.
However, the relationship between the convoy and the supernatural will need to be re-examined in the future.
DouDou ran back to Grandma Xin's side, her little face beaming with barely suppressed excitement, and she whispered a string of excited words into the old woman's ear.
As Grandma Xin listened, her wrinkled face relaxed in the firelight. She gently patted Dou Dou's hand, nodding repeatedly, her cloudy eyes seeming to be a little moist.
"Okay, okay..." she said repeatedly, her gaze passing over Dou Dou's shoulder and looking at Fu Xiaojian and the others sitting around the campfire, full of gratitude.
The news spread quickly.
The tense atmosphere in the convoy eased a bit because of the unexpected addition of these little guys.
Yao Yao peeked out from behind Wang Hu, curiously looking at the steamed buns and sausages that were about the same size as her not far away.
