  (Today continues to erupt, a total of four updates, each chapter is not less than 3,000 words, the last two chapters will be released simultaneously at midnight, please support more, Qing Shan wants to try to rush the list. Now it's the first update.)

  "There must be weaknesses and vulnerabilities in the monsters, where is the weakness of the Water Rhinoceros?" Li Junshan saw a deformed creature that failed to dodge and was hit by a water arrow. Fortunately, it only grazed its shoulder and took away a few soft bones, but the deformed creature that was hit by the water arrow slowed down significantly, making him even more anxious.

  "Abdomen." Fatou spoke in a trembling voice: "The abdomen of the giant water buffalo monster is relatively softer, while other places are harder than gold and stone. Ordinary blades can't hurt it at all."

  The giant water buffalo monster was five meters tall, and its legs were less than half a meter long. The four thick pillar-like round legs were stuck together, tightly covering the abdomen in the middle. Li Junshan directed the alien to stab the abdomen, but they were all blocked by the giant water buffalo monster's legs.

  With a flicker in his mind, Li Junshan directed the two deformed creatures to lift up the deceased one, and with a sudden rip, tore it into two halves, splashing the green blood all over the giant water buffalo monster.

  *Hmph…*

  The giant water buffalo monster let out a mournful cry, and a faint white smoke rose from its armor-like skin. It violently shook its body, and although the strange blood did not corrode any holes in it, it still burned its skin into patches of charred blackness.

  The dead alien's blood was quickly drained, and the two giant water buffalo-like creatures' bodies were also corroded with speckles. They used their sharp horns to constantly pick off the aliens that pounced on them, slowly retreating back into the river channel.

  "Scared now?" Li Junshan excitedly jumped up.

  At this time, the riverbank began to churn out thick water vapor. Fati was greatly shocked and cried out: "Hurry up and call back the summoning beast! I feel that over there is a crazy gathering of water elements, and the Water Rhinoceros Monster is preparing for an advanced magic."

  Li Junshan's joy was suddenly extinguished by a basin of cold water, he gritted his teeth and held his breath, focusing on the giant water buffalo monster, ready to let it retreat at any time.

  "1, 2, 3...... Huh!" Fati exclaimed in surprise: "No way, didn't you have five summoned beasts? One died, how come there are only three here?"

  Li Junshan didn't bother to pay attention to him, silently counting in his heart: "Three steps, two steps..."

  The white fog grew thicker and thicker, almost covering the huge body of the giant water buffalo monster, and in the white fog, a half-meter-long sharp icicle began to form slowly, densely packed, and it was hard to tell how many there were.

  "Hurry up." Fatso shouted loudly: "If we're late again, it'll be too late."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Li Junshan jumped up excitedly, and the larger water buffalo monster let out a shocking scream, dispersing the white fog that filled the sky. The half-formed ice pillars fell to the ground.

  A deformed creature emerged from underwater, its long tailbone deeply pierced into the abdomen of a larger aquatic rhinoceros monster below the river.

  "He..." Fa Te's eyes widened in shock, he didn't expect that from the very beginning Li Junshan had actually commanded a strange creature to quietly ambush in the river water, and at the critical moment launched a fatal blow.

  Is this still a novice who has just summoned a summoning beast? It's clearly a seasoned summoning master.

  Li Junshan ran towards the riverbank, feeling both shocked and admiring.

  Does Li Junshan have such a premonition? The answer is of course not. He thought from the beginning that it might take some effort to deal with the alien, but he would definitely be able to handle these two sixth-level magic beasts. He was afraid that the giant water buffalo monster would not be able to beat them and run away, so he let one of the aliens go around the battlefield far away and pass by from underwater, ready to intercept at any time.

  He didn't expect the fight to be so intense, and the two giant water buffalo monsters were also frightened. The larger one was summoning large-scale water magic while trying to escape, which allowed Li Junshan to accidentally kill the unprepared giant water buffalo monster in an instant.

  When Li Junshan and Fate ran to the riverbank, the larger of the two giant water rhinoceros monsters was already dead. The smaller one had been knocked to the ground by several deformed creatures. Four deformed creatures surrounded it in a circle, pinning its tailbone against its abdomen. The small giant water rhinoceros monster occasionally spat out weak streams of water, trembling humanely, and its large eyes were filled with terror.

  "Little Mountain, no, Master." Fate saw Li Junshan command the alien to extract a huge blue crystal nucleus from the body of the giant water buffalo monster, and rushed to Li Junshan's side, shouting: "I will always follow you, use my loyalty and life to protect you. Give me this magic crystal!"

  Fa Te's face was filled with deep emotion, his eyes staring at the magic crystal, as he knelt on one knee and grasped Li Junshan's thigh, shaking it violently.

  Li Junshan brought the crystal nucleus in front of his eyes to look at it under the sunlight, and the middle of the crystal nucleus seemed to have a flowing ice blue color that was constantly moving, casting a brilliant light under the sunlight.

  "Is it useful for you?" Li Junshan held it in his hand and played with it.

  "It's too useful." Fati exclaimed excitedly: "I'm a water-element mage, this water-attribute magic crystal can speed up my magic training by several times. With it, I might be able to advance soon."

  "Give me a reason first. Besides, I suddenly found out that you know too many of my secrets." Li Junshan stared at Fate, who saw a deformed creature with drool walking up to him and felt a chill run down his spine.

  "To be honest with you, I am a noble son from Florence who was reduced to this place after suffering difficulties. It's only a matter of time before I kill my way back. The secret of the summoning beast is known by no one else in this world except for you, and I don't want too many people to know about it either. What do you think I should do?"

  Fate shuddered, straightened his body on one knee, placed his right hand in front of his left chest, and said solemnly: "I swear by the honor of the Bart family that I will follow...". He looked at Li Junshan and said, "Fate only knew that everyone called Li Junshan 'Little Mountain', but he still didn't know his name."

  Li Junshan smiled slightly and said: "Nicholas, Nicholas Hareman."

  "I, Fattel Marte, by the honor of the Bart family, swear that I will follow Nicholas Hariman sir for life, regard him as my master, and defend his honor with my blood and life, unwaveringly, unshakeably, and unregrettably."

  "The domineering aura is not to be underestimated, but the method of using a big stick and carrot will likely be effective in any world." Li Junshan thought to himself, smiling as he helped him up, and took the opportunity to slip the magic crystal into Fate's hand, saying: "Not far in the future, you will be proud of your current wisdom."

  In the name of family, making an oath is the most solemn and unbreakable thing in this world, which Li Junshan understood. Although he didn't think much of Fate's magical attainments, having one more person loyal to him by his side who was also familiar with this continent made a sixth-grade magic beast core still worth obtaining.

  Although a sixth-grade magic beast core is worth tens of thousands of gold coins, money is not the most important thing for Li Junshan now. Moreover, he has a noble father in Florence City. If he only pursued wealth, there are dozens of ways to accumulate wealth in the shortest time possible, but the problem is that he may not be able to keep it.

  Money is a good thing, but you have to be alive to spend it.

  Fate grasped the crystal core of the giant water buffalo monster, and he could clearly feel the abundant and pure water element essence inside. For a moment, he couldn't believe that he had obtained it so easily.

  After he calmed down his excited mood, he found that Li Junshan had sat cross-legged on one side at some point, meditating to recover his spiritual power.

  Silently gazing at Li Junshan, whose youthful energy had yet to fade, Fate seemed lost in a dream.

  Vast spiritual space, breaking through to the rank of war master in just one month, dozens of innate summoning beast eggs, able to summon five magic beasts with a single breath, precise control over summoned beasts, and a broad view of the battlefield...

  "Maybe he's a good master after all." Fate smiled slightly, sat down beside Li Junshan, put the magic crystal into his bosom, and closed his eyes to enter meditation.

  Fate was pulled back from his reverie by a series of strange and mournful cries, and when he opened his eyes, the scene before him left him speechless.

  The only living giant water buffalo monster was knocked to the ground, with two deformed creatures firmly holding down its four limbs. Li Junshan sat in front of it, constantly drawing summoning talismans. Just as the intersecting talisman patterns were about to sink into the giant water buffalo monster's forehead, the monster, which refused to be summoned, spiritually blocked the formation of the talisman pattern, causing it to dissipate on its forehead.

  At this time, an alien will use its tailbone to accurately draw a blood mark on its abdomen, the alien's movements are very gentle, and the wound that is cut open does not have much fresh blood flowing out, bringing only intense pain to the Water Buffalo Monster.

  The other two deformed creatures holding down the giant water buffalo monster didn't idle either, opening their huge mouths and a cylindrical tongue suddenly shot out, carrying a sharp whistling sound that stopped at a position one inch in front of the eyes of the giant water buffalo monster. This was more terrifying to the giant water buffalo monster than the pain on its abdomen, it struggled desperately, letting out mournful cries from its mouth.

  Looking at the giant water buffalo's numerous wounds on its abdomen, Fate felt a chill in his heart. He crouched down and ran to Li Junshan's side, saying in a low voice: "Master, this won't do. Even if you can force it to complete the summoning, once it recovers, there's a high possibility that it will suffer from spiritual backlash, which would cause great harm to your soul. There have been many precedents like this on the mainland."

  "It won't have that chance." Li Junshan smiled slightly and said: "I only need its body to hatch my magical beast egg."

  Fatie opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

  Another summon, another refusal, and the Water Buffalo Monster, which had been tortured to the limit of its physical and mental endurance, finally could not withstand the torment any longer. When the last summoning contract flew onto its head, it did not put up any resistance, allowing its soul to be branded with a seal by the demon Mian Yan.

  Li Junshan let out a breath of relief. The time he spent meditating was not long, and his spiritual energy had only recovered a small part. Now it was almost completely exhausted.

  The giant water rhinoceros monster was sent to the spiritual space, where a deformed egg hatched under its command. The face-hugging insect instantly wrapped itself around the doomed giant water rhinoceros monster. In the summoner's spiritual space, the giant water rhinoceros monster had no power to resist, allowing the face-hugging insect to implant an embryo into its own body.

  Four deformed creatures patrolled vigilantly around Li Junshan, who waited patiently for the birth of that deformed creature, his heart more tense than when the first deformed creature broke out.
