Starting With Contract Pets Chapter 15 - Almost Pulled Into The Water

Chapter 15 - Almost Pulled Into The Water

Pat, pat…

Time pa.s.sed as the owner-pet pair practiced, sweating buckets like rain in a forest.

From whipping vine to a fixed target until moving to practicing on a moving target.

Purple Jade had already mastered the art of accurately whipping fixed targets by then, and even if a large stone was placed in front of it, the cub would be able to smash it into pieces with its Vine Whip.

From the very beginning, as it controlled its skill attacks, it had slowly been injecting spiritual strength into its Vine Whip. It then coated Vine Whip's exterior with a layer of spiritual power.

Purple Jade could now make its Vine Whip as strong as steel. Although this could not last for a long duration, it was already considered a vast improvement.

The cub practiced vine weaving by twisting and squeezing its target. This was relatively simple, but it needed to be fast and accurate. One could say that Purple Jade had improved tremendously in this aspect.

As for Vine Whip as a spear, it was more difficult to pierce a target. The cub could pierce a tree but not basalt.

Nothing could be accomplished overnight; thus, Su Bai's goal today was only to let his pet master the basics. He could slowly train it further as they went.

"Look, buddy!"

Holding four pebbles in both hands, he called to Purple Jade thirty meters away.

"Howl! (o゚v゚)ノ"

The cub bobbed its head while staring intently at him.

He ran and threw the first stone.

"Howl."

Noticing his starting movement, Purple Jade also ran quickly.

As Su Bai threw that stone, it ran fast all the way, avoiding the big trees on the road while approaching its target.

Just as the cub reached its first target, its owner threw another stone in the opposite direction.

Slap!

A vine whip from Purple Jade ripped the stone in the air, reducing it into powdery pieces.

The cub quickly dashed to the next stone that had already flown out.

Just when it touched the second stone, Su Bai threw the third stone.

...

"Howl! (〒〈〒)"

Purple Jade collapsed onto the ground, screaming feebly, tired and hungry.

It suddenly felt deceived by its owner. What happened to playing in the wild?

Why did it become like this? It felt as if it was going to become paralyzed.

Su Bai looked at his watch and found that it was already past 4 p.m. Although they had taken a break this afternoon, his pet had still reached its limit. In any case, his arms were also sore from throwing stones and Purple Jade was only a baby.

"Good girl, look at what this is?"

Su Bai took out one set of the breakfast his mother had prepared for his pet this morning, which included the fascinating fruit and the Flower-scented Cow milk with wood spirit potion.

"Howl! Ψ( ̄∀ ̄)Ψ"

Little Purple Jade burst into elation upon seeing the food. It climbed up and looked intently at its master.

"Eat the white pearl fruit first before you drink the milk."

Su Bai handed the fruit to it, and the cub gobbled this fruit, which was larger than the size of a thumb. It even made happy cries from time to time.

It was apparently delicious.

After finishing the fruit, Purple Jade drank the milk containing wood spirit potion and then jumped into Su Bai's arms for him to hug it to sleep.

After a while, it drifted into sleep in his arms. The cub's little stomach undulated as it deeply slumbered.

(∪.∪) Zzz…

Su Bai looked down at the little cutie and shook his head. He knew that this level of training today was still a bit too much for a newly born spirit.

However, the effect was obvious. His pet's spiritual power had visibly increased today.

Even if he could see a pet's information, training method, and evolution stage, he could not tell whether or not a pet was strong inside. External training was just a means to help it become strong.

"You can sleep well this afternoon."

Back at the reservoir, Su Bai took out the small nest he had prepared beforehand from his backpack, placed Purple Jade on it, and covered his pet with a blanket.

Looking at his pet, he thought to himself, Should I train it more quickly while it's still obedient? Otherwise, it may be difficult to make it practice later on.

Shaking his head, he went to a fishing spot not far away.

"How was it? How many fishes did you catch today? Any Silver-patterned Tortoises?"

He walked to Su Yue and asked in a low voice.

They had both been fishing enthusiasts since junior high school. At that time, the two of them started liking touching fishes first before falling in love with fishing itself.

Generally, they liked going out and catching fishes with their rods when they had nothing to do. They did not do it for the sake of catching lots of fishes but rather for fun.

"Today's fishes aren't biting the bait. Spring fishing is difficult; it took me a long time to catch a small Crucian carp and a white-stripped fish about the weight of one catty." His younger brother spread his hands. "There's something big underneath, but I didn't manage to catch it. Too many of my baits were bitten off."

"Let me give it a try." Su Bai looked at the catch happily.

His favorite was the small white-stripped fish, which was crispy and refreshing when fried.

On the contrary, he had no interest in the Crucian carp.

He found the bottom, adjusted the drift, put the bait, and then lowered the rod.

He did not lift the rod for half an hour. From the side, his younger brother would occasionally catch small Crucian carps and white-stripped fishes.

Su Bai was speechless.

He really wanted to drain the reservoir.

After thinking for a while, he took two cyan earthworms and reached out to a tree beside him. He sucked out some light attribute light b.a.l.l.s from it and pushed them into the earthworms' bodies before hanging them as bait onto the hook.

Tree: "…"

What the heck; it was trembling with rage.

"Brother, watch me catch a thousand-year-old tortoise for you." Su Bai glanced at the water and played with his phone.

Seeing his older sibling's posture, Su Yue shook his head with a smile. "Hahaha! Brother, you're out of luck today. Do you wanna come and catch these fishes with me?"

"No, you have to believe it; I only catch big fishes."

Su Bai would glance at the water from time to time as he played with his phone.

Half an hour later, he got tired of playing with his phone, and just as he moved to lift his pole to see if the hanging cyan earthworms had been eaten, the floating fishing rod suddenly got pulled back.

Without saying a word, he threw his phone to the side and reached to grab the pole. However, before he could get a good grip on it, a huge force came onto him. He only heard a loud crash on the surface of the water before he was pulled into it. As he was directly thrown into the water, the main fishing rod broke and disappeared with a wave.

"F*ck! What was that?"

Su Bai stared with widened eyes at the floating fish rod that had disappeared after two laps on the water surface.

Su Yue also rushed over. After checking that his older brother was okay, he also stared at the surface of the water for a long time, quite taken aback. "F*ck, brother, what did you catch? Did it just pull you down? Judging by that large splash, it's at least a hundred catties."

"I don't know. There's something big in the reservoir. I'll bring mom's Water Ripples tomorrow and let it go underwater."

Su Bai shook his head, his heart still thumping hard. If the fishing line had been strong enough, he might have been dragged into the water depths. He had truly narrowly escaped such danger today.

"Howl!"

Purple Jade woke up and bared its teeth at the water, revealing a rare brutal appearance.

Su Bai was moved by the little cub's behavior. It was already protecting him at such a young age.

"Let's go, let's go. Be careful with fishing in the future; it's too dangerous."

He caressed his pet and began packing up his things. It was useless to look at the water, so he had better go back to rest.
