"Two hundred and five! Two hundred and five!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the small forest. A fifteen-year-old boy lay on the ground, with one foot pressing down hard on his head.

But at this time, the year had no care for the foot upon his head. His eyes were bloodshot, he stared ahead, and shouted with all his might.

There, lying a husky, one didn't, was all over.

Facing the call of the year, there was no response whatsoever, clearly it had already died.

"Ye Qianxing, remember this, some people are those you can never afford to offend in your lifetime. This time I only took your dog's life, next time if you dare to provoke me again, what awaits you will be your own life."

A dismissive voice came from above, it was the one who had him underfoot speaking.

That person looked about the same age as Ye Qianxing, but he was much stronger. Besides him, there were some younger followers.

The most crucial point is that a terrifying wolf, as tall as a human, was crouching beside him. Ye Qianxing's husky [250] had died from the wolf's jaws.

Hearing the threatening words of this year, Ye Qianxing's eyes, originally filled with tears, turned completely crimson, as if a fire was burning in them.

Zhou Wei, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!

Ye Qianxing roared in anger, struggling to get up, but seeing Zhou Wei exerting force under his feet, the head he had just lifted came into contact with the ground again.

"Kill me? Hahahaha, you? You're not even worthy. I could kill you right now, it would be as easy as thinking about it."

Having said that, the other wolves beside him also pretended to pounce.

The werewolf’s face was inches from Ye Qianxing’s, and the stench that wafted over her made her want to gag.

But looking at the large planter in front of her, Ye Qianxing unexpectedly felt fear.

Just then, a cold voice rang out, pulling Ye Qianxing from fear.

That's enough.

The one speaking was a man with an appearance as cold and imposing as ice, yet his gaze had been fixed on this scene all along.

When Ye Qianxing was knocked down, she remained silent. When [250] was killed, she remained silent. But this time, she finally spoke.

"You killed his spirit beast and beat him up as well. It's time to end this, isn't it? Regardless of what you say, he is still my nominal brother. Don't make things difficult for me." The Iceman said.

Zhou Wei frowned upon hearing this, but he seemed to be somewhat wary of this iceberg as well, so he had to withdraw his foot.

"For Ruoxi's sake, I'll let this one slide. Go."

After that, Zhou Wei called out to his younger brothers and the wolf, then left directly.

Ye Qianxing hurriedly climbed to the side of the body numbered "25." Despite its coldness, Ye Qianxing didn't speak, but tears streamed down her face.

This is not just a pet, it's also the only remaining memory his parents left him.

It seems that the sadness has reached Ye Qianxing, and even the ice people's faces show a similar sorrow.

"You..."

As I approached Ye Qianxing, just about to speak, she suddenly sprang up, clutching the body of "Baiduwu" and dashed in a specific direction.

As Ye Qianxing passed by, she glanced at him, but there was no emotion in her eyes, as if she were looking at a stranger.

The Iceberg Man was taken aback. Night Star had never dared to show him such an attitude before.

After leaving the grove, Ye Qianxing went straight to the back mountain. He dug a hole with his bare hands, his hands were covered in blood, but he seemed oblivious to it.

"Wow!!"

Alone and under the starry night, Ye Qianxing finally couldn't hold back her sadness any longer. She burst into tears, while simultaneously preparing to place [250] into the pit.

At that moment, a mechanical voice, both real and unreal, echoed in his mind.

"Ding! The system has been activated by the host's pulse, and it is now online. The [Spirit Pet Creation Simulation] is at your service."

This sudden sound caused Ye Qianxing, who had been sobbing loudly, to abruptly stop.

System?

He was somewhat familiar with this term, as if it had existed on Earth before the New Era, but only in legends. He never expected to actually encounter it.

About five hundred years ago, Earth went through an unprecedented catastrophe. This cataclysm directly ushered in a new era for Earth.

The Great Disaster began with a meteor shower. As the meteors passed, the sky cracked open, revealing a huge black void that refused to heal.

Countless monsters emerged from the darkness, descending upon Earth.

These strange alien humans were never seen before, some only existed in legends, and some weren't even mentioned in legends.

These monsters were called evil spirits by people at that time.

Demons descended upon Earth, but instead of coexisting peacefully with humans, they turned against them, feeding on human flesh and slaughtering them indiscriminately.

While the weak human race is unable to resist.

Fortunately, they possess powerful technological capabilities. Although only those incredibly potent technological weapons can pose a threat to the monsters, this does provide humanity with a breathing space.

Humans began establishing base cities, dividing them into safe zones to ward off evil spirits and preserve the embers of human civilization. They struggle for survival in this desperate situation.

And humans are indeed wise creatures capable of thriving in adversity. Decades later, scientists discovered that evil spirits possessed a unique type of substance.

If this kind of substance were to be taken by a person, there would be a certain probability that they would mutate. After mutation, humans would have the ability to fight against evil spirits.

But there is a drawback here, that is the power is not large, and once it fails, it will be fatal.

After the great catastrophe, the human population plummeted drastically. Unable to risk such a large-scale endeavor, scientists turned their attention upwards.

They found that after taking the special substance of demons, they could also produce mutations, and their power was much greater than that of humans.

Thus, humans applied this discovery, creating many variations. However, after the variations, they became more aggressive and uncontrollable.

Just when scientists were at their wit's end, someone made an unexpected discovery: humans could actually sign soul contracts with mutated beings.

Once signed, the altered beings will become obedient like pets, and as long as one possesses enough divine power, they can make a contract with them.

Thus, a new profession emerged.

Shaman, these mutations also have new names, Spirit Beasts!

"A simulation of spirit beast creation... could it be related to spirit beasts?" Ye Qianxing thought to herself.

Just as he was about to call out to the system, the mechanical voice rang out again.

"Initial reward distribution, one Shen Treasure Chest. Would you like to open it?"

"A treasure chest?" Ye Qianxing was startled again, subconsciously replying in her mind, "Yes."

Immediately, he seemed to have a hallucination. Before his eyes, a golden treasure chest suddenly opened, revealing four items.

A mass of black flame, a drop of crimson, a nearly luminous orb, and an old, battered pocket watch.
