"Sorry, I can't let you enter the Black Star Forest without a formal beast master qualification certificate. Please forgive me."

The Dragon Bird soldier guarding the outskirts of the Black Star Forest said seriously.

Qi Shi nodded: "Understood, I understand all the rules. The mercenary group I hired will be here soon."

"Mr. Qi Shi?"

As the two of them were talking, a voice came from behind.

Five people walked behind him, varying in height and thinness, but wearing uniform clothes.

The voice just now came from the mouth of the taller man with a straight body.

"Yes, it's me." Qi Shi nodded and replied.

"Hello Mr. Qi Shi, we are the Youshui team that accepted your entrustment. I am the captain Jiang You." Jiang You came over and said politely.

"Hello Captain Jiang. You all know my name, Qi Shi."

The two shook hands and became acquainted.

Jiang You looked at Qi Shi, who was dressed lightly, and said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Qi Shi, although the Iron Ridge Jackals live outside the Black Star Forest, they often wander around and have no fixed residence. It would be difficult to find them in one day. I suggest you bring some supplies for the night. We may

We’re going to stay in the forest for the night.”

"No need, I have another way. I can quickly confirm the location of the wolves." Qi Shi touched the fluffy mane on the neck of the dog next to him and shook his head.

Just kidding, you guys all charge by the day, how can I afford 200,000 a day? Gouzi, you need to give me some help later, otherwise...

Thinking this way, the hand stroking the dog's mane became a little stronger, which caused a chill in the back of the dog's head and back, and he couldn't help but shudder.

…

"Please show the relevant documents of the mercenary group."

The Longque soldier meticulously checked a series of documents before stepping aside, taking a step back and saluting a military salute.

"Please be careful."

"Thank you for your concern, we will."

…

The outer edge of the Black Star Forest is about one kilometer away from the actual forest. There was nothing to do on the road, and Jiang You and Qi Shi chatted.

"Mr. Qi Shi, have you not graduated yet?" Jiang You said with a smile.

"Oh? How can you be so sure?" Qi Shi smiled curiously.

"Actually, it's not hard to see. The wolf warriors beside Mr. Qi Shi have a vague aura of strength, and may not be weaker than us mercenaries who are wandering the battlefield. It should be more than enough for one person to go to the forest." Jiang You complimented.

"With such achievements at such a young age, it seems that Mr. Qi Shi has a great background."

Qi Shi shook his head and said: "No, you are wrong about that. I don't have any background. I just ran a small shop in the animal pet industry. Some time ago, I helped a young man and his animal pet wife solve a problem.

The problem of emotional disputes.”

When Jiang You heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he said with a strange expression: "Well... your scope of involvement is quite wide."

"That's just to make ends meet." Qi Shi smiled when he saw the other party's reaction and didn't say anything more. He just said with a smile.

As they walked, the six of them entered the outskirts of the Black Star Forest.

The four members of the Youshui team stretched out their hands and pressed down on the ground. A complicated and obscure six-pointed star array appeared on the ground, followed by four beast pets of different shapes.

It is the beast control contract. This magical contract goes back a long time.

More than 9,400 years ago, human beings lived primitively on this land.

Suddenly one day, many terrifying monsters with different abilities appeared in the world. Human beings face attacks from these monsters every day and live in trembling fear.

Later, humans gathered together and built high walls to block the monsters outside the walls, and then peace was achieved.

In this way, humans lived within the walls and rapidly developed technological capabilities. They set up muskets and artillery to defend against the monsters that attacked the city from time to time.

Nearly a thousand years have passed, and the technological power that humans have mastered has become more and more powerful. From being able to hide in the city, humans later became equipped with advanced equipment and were able to fight against monsters in the wild.

In this living environment, one day.

A scholar was collecting unknown information under the protection of a group of soldiers. But on the way, they suffered a terrorist attack.

They were obviously not the same group, and were even hostile monsters, but they gathered together strangely and launched an attack on them.

Under the crushing force and numbers, almost all of the scholar's team died, with only the scholar and a few soldiers escaping back.

At the same time, such incidents occurred around various cities, causing countless deaths.

Later, through exploration, people discovered the culprit of the incident.

It was a green flesh insect with a body like a big caterpillar, with strange dark purple patterns on its body, and two tentacles growing from one end of its head.

In later generations, the bug was called the contract soul-binding bug. Just like its name, this bug could make contracts with other creatures and control the pets that signed the contract.

Even if the other party wants to commit suicide, he cannot do it. Everything is like a puppet, completely controlled.

This was the original master-servant contract.

The contracted soul-binding insect was also exposed to human vision for the first time.

Some crazy scholars believe that the emergence of this kind of creature is a turning point for mankind.

As long as we understand how they control other monsters, humans will have a foothold in the future and will no longer be afraid of anything.

With this idea in mind, people spent countless amounts of money and lives during this period to capture contracted soul-binding insects and conduct in vivo experiments.

Finally, seven years later, the first master-servant contract was born. The master-servant contract was made from the skin and flesh of the soul-binding insect, and it perfectly achieved the results people wanted.

As people usher in a new era, those originally terrifying monsters also have new names: beast pets.

Five hundred years later…

Humanity has entered a prosperous era, and the contracted soul-binding insects are almost invisible in the wild, and they need to be artificially bred to barely provide enough for use.

Pet animals are no longer a nightmare that people cannot defeat. People are no longer frightened every day and have become comfortable.

People, when they are at ease, all kinds of thoughts will pop up, pity and cerebral thrombosis will pop up.

I don’t know when, suddenly a group of people sought justice for their pets.

It is so tragic that pet animals are enslaved in this way without any rights as animals, and it is also inhumane for humans to do this.

As soon as this idea was proposed, many "compassionate" people agreed, insisting on abolishing the inhumane contract of master-servant contract.

It caused a wave of discussion.

Some people insist that pet animals are friends of mankind and want to abolish the inhumane enterprise of master-servant contract.

Some people choose to firmly oppose it, saying that pets are predatory beasts before they sign a contract. How stupid do you have to be to want to help them redress their grievances.

Under the influence of the heated debate, a new contract emerged.

equal contract.

The original contract of equality was to constrain both parties not to harm the other.

Later, it went through numerous revisions and optimizations.

It has formed the most mainstream beast control contract now.

The name of animal pets has been completely rectified, and there is even a regulation in the law: [Under the age of 18, no one is allowed to have a relationship with a humanoid animal pet.] This kind of regulation.

Good guy, that is to say, not a humanoid cough cough cough...

………

"Lanying, guard the surrounding areas." A team member said to his beast master.

An elemental creature with translucent blue feathers and purple glowing pupils, the Oriental Eagle spreads its wings and flies into the sky. Its sharp eyes scan the surrounding environment for alertness.

The other pet beasts that appeared also carefully guarded their surroundings.

The remaining three pets are a bloody hound, an ostrich, and a gray shadow lynx.

There is nothing special, they are all relatively common bronze-level beast pets.

The strength is not very strong, third level strength.

"Have you found anything?" Qi Shi asked, touching Gouzi's back.

Gouzi was lowering his head to smell the scent of the tribe. He was patted by Qi Shi, rolled his eyes, raised his head and barked.

"Ouch~ (We have just entered the forest, why are you so anxious?)"

Then continue to lower your head and smell as you walk.

It had lived in the pack for decades, and the smell of wolves had already been engraved in its heart, and it could be found with its eyes closed.

"Uh..." Jiang You saw Gouzi running to the side and looked at Qi Shi with a puzzled expression.

"Let's go, follow it." Qi Shi said.

The six people advanced vigilantly, and after walking for more than twenty minutes, the dog's eyes lit up, and he raised his head and barked.
