CHAPTER 19 ANOTHER PARTNER

The condition of Shadow and the rest is not good. All the foxes fainted, Glutton was disoriented by the roar, and Shadow, who was the person nearest to the tiger, felt his inside churning, but it seems the attack can't be used casually. Looking at the tiger's condition, it seems very exhausted, with wounds all over its body. He still has a chance.

He sped off again and slashed the tiger. The tiger let out a growl and smacked him. He barely dodged the paw. He stabbed at the tiger's neck. The tiger rolled and used its other paw to slash at him with its razor-sharp claw. He parried the attack with killer

He was deflected and hit the wall. He vomited blood and slumped down to the ground.

Looking at the tiger again, he picks Killer again and dashes off to the tiger again.

The tiger got angry, it pounced towards him.

He rolls and evades the attack. The tiger slashes at him again. He continuously evades the onslaught of the tiger; he didn't even have any chance to attack.

Suddenly a blur came; it jumped off, and it got to the tiger's back.

It was Glutton, he bit the tiger's nape while digging his claw on the tigers back.

*Roar* The tiger let out an angry roar, and wildly flailed, Glutton digs its teeth and nails deeper into the tiger's flesh.

Shadow, seeing his chance, unsheathed Killer and slashed a long line on the tigers neck. Blood gushed out. He retreated, but the tiger was very enraged and suddenly smacked him without caring about its wound.

He was caught by surprise, he was smacked by the tiger. He flew off, hitting the wall of the cave very hard.

*Boom* A portion of the cave's wall was destroyed. He was now lying in the piles of stones, continuously coughing out blood.

He weakly crawled out of the hole and used Killer's scabbard as a stick to help him stand up. He searched for the killer when the tiger smacked him.

He found Killer lying in front of the tiger. He gritted his teeth and used [Wind Dash].

When he got near the wildly flailing tiger, he saw an incoming paw above him. He rolled and dodged it and picked Killer. He stabbed the tiger's chin.

The tiger sensed the incoming danger and tried to move its head, but Glutton suddenly let go of its nape and pushed the tiger's head towards Shadow's head.

*Pwak* The tiger's head was punctured along with Glutton's paw. After a full minute, it slumped and died.

Glutton pounced on Shadow. He caught him and put Glutton in his embrace, looking at its bleeding paw. He felt guilty; without Glutton, he would have already died.

Looking at the cave, he just realised how beautiful it is. Looking at the glittering crystal, the cave is not dark at all, and with all the yin grass and charming yin flowers, it is extremely breathtaking.

'Wait, Yin grass looks exactly like fox grass, so that means that its true name is Yin grass, and Charming Yin Flower is evolved from Yin grass, which means I have many materials for enhancing Yin type beasts'

'SYSTEM, what is the condition for evolving yin grass into a charming yin flower? '

(Scanning.) The condition to evolve Yin grass into Charming Yin Flower is to continuously make a Yin-type fox for a period of time.

Reminder: The higher the number and the higher the fox beast grade, the more it affects the growth of the Charming Yin Flower.

Reminder 2: The kind of Yin beast also affects the evolution of Yin grass.

Reminder 3: You can also use Yin-type beast corpse as the fertiliser; it can also make the Yin grass evolve corresponding to the corpse.

'Oh, there are actually many uses for the yin grass'

He then picked 10 fox grasses and put them in his backpack. He also started to cut the tiger's meat and started cooking it.

The smell woke up all the fox pups, looking at their shining bright eyes and cute faces. He smiled and threw a barbecue at them. He looked at the wounded little fox and picked her up and put her on his lap while looking at her eat. He felt a little peaceful.

After that round of battle, he was left exhausted and injured. He bandaged Glutton's paw and slept with Glutton and the foxes beside him.

Shadow woke up seeing Glutton was still sleeping. Shadow smiled and left the cave. He was going to the creak to wash up.

After washing up, he returned to the cave. He saw the foxes looking at their mother's corpse and continuously emitting sad cries. He patted their heads. He felt pity for the foxes and decided to bury their mother underneath the Charming Yin Flower.

When Shadow looked at the foxes again, he saw their eyes emitting a light of reliance. It seems they treat Shadow as their father now.

He looked at them and scanned them. He was surprised that three of them were all perfect grades, while two of them were epic grades, and he could view all of their information.

'SYSTEM, how can I view all of their statistics? I haven't even signed any contracts with them yet.'

(The host already gained their trust and viewed you as an important figure; hence, they are already your subordinate.)

He was quite surprised to know that the foxes had become his subordinates. He nodded and decided to let Shelia and Rose contract the two Epic-grade foxes when he would bring them back to the village.

After deciding that, he looked at the wounded fox and said, "Little fox, you know how dangerous the world is and know that your strength is not enough to protect your family."

The fox seems to understand what he just said and lowers her head, looking quite depressed.

"But I can make you stronger. I can give you strength, but you need to sign a spiritual contract with me that will allow you to give up your freedom. You can decide on your own."

He said that the fox had already opened its spirit to him. He was taken aback; he never thought the fox didn't think about it and had already opened its spirit to him.

He smiled and signed the contract. Now that Shadow has two contracted beasts, his combat prowess will drastically increase with a legendary-grade beast.

"Okay, now that you are my partner, I will name you Vixen."

The fox seems satisfied with its name and raised its paw in acceptance of it.
