Upon hearing that, Luo Chen quickly summoned the mermaid and black tortoise. Then, the mermaid spat out seawater while the black tortoise spat out black water.

The demonic aura was instantly washed away.

Seeing two more divine pets truly shocked the beautiful woman. Everyone knew that the black tortoise had the highest defense. Meanwhile, the mermaid was a top-tier supporter. She was great for supporting teams.

‘No wonder he’s able to clear the seventh floor of the summoning tower so easily. All he has are divine pets. It would be laughable if he couldn’t.’

The demon was then forced to return to its realm. They just needed to stall for time because maintaining the spatial rift required a lot of spiritual power and the bald man was already dead. 

Before the demon completely disappeared, it eerily said, “I’ll be back!”

Its words echoed in everyone’s ears.

The city guards and governor rushed over in a hurry. 

All the destruction caused the city’s governor to have a gloomy expression. At the same time, he noticed Princess Phoenix.

“Your Majesty!”

The city guards and governor quickly knelt down.

‘Your Majesty?’

Luo Chen wanted to leave as soon as possible because he did not want to kneel to anyone.

“Why aren’t you kneeling?”

The city’s governor had a fierce look on his face. He was about to command his guards to arrest Luo Chen, but the princess hurriedly stopped him.

“It’s okay, he doesn’t need to kneel!”

Luo Chen gradually disappeared from sight.

The corners of the princess’s mouth curled up.

…

The forgotten forest was one of the largest forests in the country. There were countless beasts in it. Most of the pet eggs were obtained from this place.

Summoned beasts reproduced rather quickly. They lay seven to eight eggs at a time. It was very difficult to care for so many eggs. Therefore, some of them were often abandoned.

The abandoned eggs would be picked up and sold by humans. 

However, this was no easy task. Wild summoned beasts were stronger than domesticated summoned beasts. It was due to their living environment. 

Every year, an abundance of people die in the forgotten forest.

Luo Chen entered the forest in hopes of finding divine pet eggs.

He tried for several days but was unsuccessful. Luckily, he did manage to find other treasures.

A little white dog had been wagging its tail and following him. It staggered as it walked. For some reason, this dog was attracted to Luo Chen. He could not chase it away. 

“Even if you’re a divine pet, I don’t like you.”.

Some summoned beasts would follow a summoner when they smell the scent of resources. Moreover, summoners tend to carry around a lot of food. 

This was probably the reason why the dog was following Luo Chen.

On a side note, wild summoned beasts were not very loyal because they were not personally raised by humans.

Furthermore, when a summoner bonded with its summoned beast, it was more of a master-servant contract. Wild summoned beasts only form equal contracts. It was similar to a realm creature’s contract.

The little white dog was a saint-grade beast with earth attributes. 

In Luo Chen’s eyes, it was undesirable.

“Stop following me. I won’t bond with you. You’re trash!”

Luo Chen said in a disgusted manner.

Despite that, the little white would not give up and hug his leg. It looked very pitiful.

“Are you trying to act cute?”

Luo Chen took out some roasted lamb from his space ring and threw it far away.

The little white dog’s eyes lit up. It eagerly chased the roasted lamb.

‘Did it follow me because it smelled the roasted lamb?’

Luo Chen decided to forget about the dog.

He was dumb enough to not notice that the dog’s nose was astonishingly sensitive. Even if he ran to the opposite end of the world, he still would not be able to escape the dog.

Shortly after, the dog was following him again. 

Luo Chen felt that something was wrong.

The dog placed a wild rabbit in front of him. 

‘Is it trying to be friendly with me?’

However, once he roasted the rabbit, the little white dog quickly snatched it away. 

It was just using him. 

What happened embarrassed Luo Chen and he got angry.

The little white dog continued to follow Luo Chen for the next few days. He was unable to do anything and accepted his fate. 

“I’m just going to name you Snowy.”

…

The forgotten forest was not safe. Luo Chen was often attacked by wild summoned beasts but he managed to quickly defeat them.

Snowy only appeared to be brave if its opponent was weaker. Otherwise, it would hide behind Luo Chen.

“A saint pet? You’re nothing but a coward!”

Luo Chen vented his anger at the dog. Then, he wanted to test its courage.

“Snowy! Do you see that cave over there? There are many monkeys inside. Go and lure them out so I can steal their wine.”

The monkeys were just happily minding their own business. They entered and exited the caves frequently. Some of them were holding fruits while others were holding sticks. 

According to rumors, the monkey’s wine could help in cultivation and had no side effects. Furthermore, it tasted delicious. They were sold at very high prices in auction houses.

Luo Chen wanted to get his grubby hands on the wine.

Snowy knew that he was just using her as bait, so she kept shaking her head. She was not willing to go.

It made Luo Chen furious and he kicked the dog.

Snowy cried out in pain. 

Coincidentally, she bumped into one of the monkeys and her claws accidentally scratched it.

The monkey yelled, drawing the attention of the rest of the monkeys..
