I Contracted Myself-Chapter 75 – The Lost Old Tree Man

If the Black Mountain Bowback Ants caught up, it would be him and Feng Laixian who would die.

Even Feng Laixian might survive, but he was the most likely to be bitten to death by the Black Mountain Bowback Ants.

Zhang Ping realized that continuing to follow Bai De and Feng Laixian would only endanger them, so he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll lead the Black Mountain Bowback Ants away with little Theron. We'll meet up later."

With that, he parted ways with Bai De and the others, flying off in another direction.

The Black Mountain Bowback Ants seemed to have a way to track little Theron. Whenever Zhang Ping changed direction, they immediately adjusted and continued their relentless pursuit.

To the north of Mingzhu City lay an endless range of mountains.

The residents of Mingzhu City called it the Endless Mountains.

This place was filled with countless legends and dangers.

In the Endless Mountains, encountering any kind of monster or demon was not surprising.

Zhang Ping flew through the mountains with countless Black Mountain Bowback Ants in tow, causing chaos wherever he went, even provoking a territorial Mutated Giant Bear.

He managed to fly away.

But the enraged Mutated Giant Bear clashed with the Black Mountain Bowback Ants, resulting in countless ant deaths.

The bear itself didn't fare well either. Covered in wounds from the ants' bites, it barely escaped with its life.

After the bear fled, the Black Mountain Bowback Ants continued to chase Zhang Ping and little Theron, but Zhang Ping had already flown far away.

"Little Theron, let's rest here for a bit."

In mid-air, Zhang Ping noticed that the Black Mountain Bowback Ants were far behind. Seeing a large boulder and a clear stream below, he decided to land.

He controlled the Nether Mist to descend slowly, then retracted the mist and his wings.

High-intensity flying was a significant burden for him.

Fortunately, with little Theron, the consumption of Nether Mist was much less.

Mainly because he was residing inside little Theron, making it easier to fly with the mist.

Zhang Ping had pondered a question.

When he transformed into a Pureblood Body, his blood volume should match his original weight.

How could so much blood fit into a smaller body without bursting it?

But then he thought, even a similarly sized body couldn't handle that much blood.

Too much blood would cause high blood pressure and burst blood vessels.

Then...

Zhang Ping let it go.

This was a superpower; there was no need to overthink it. As long as it worked, it was fine.

He didn't even bother to think about why little Theron's weight didn't increase with him inside.

At that moment, he gathered his blood and instantly seeped out of little Theron's body, transforming back into flesh and blood.

"Come back!"

Using the Nether Mist as clothing, he summoned the Golden Treasury Bracelet from a distance.

About half a minute later, the bracelet flew over and landed in his hand.

After putting on his clothes, he sat beside little Theron, patting its head and taking out various foods.

"Hungry? Here, have some meat."

He handed a piece of honey-glazed roast meat to little Theron.

While inside little Theron, he had felt its empty stomach. The little guy probably hadn't eaten since birth.

Unsurprisingly, little Theron didn't understand politeness.

It glanced at Zhang Ping, then bit into the meat. Surprised by its deliciousness, it paused before slowly eating it.

"Little one, you have quite an appetite. Want more?" Zhang Ping took out another piece of roast meat, smiling as he fed it.

Little Theron eagerly bit into it.

Its appetite was much larger than Zhang Ping had anticipated.

Zhang Ping fed it thirty pieces of roast meat before it was finally full. Exhausted, it curled up on the rock and fell into a deep sleep.

It hadn't been long since it was born, and the escape had been tough on it.

Zhang Ping gently patted its head, sighing softly.

Although he wanted to contract with the little guy, he hesitated, knowing he was about to venture into a dangerous place.

If he didn't return, contracting little Theron would only harm it.

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud noise came from not far away.

Zhang Ping quickly looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old treant, covered in bumps, falling from the sky and crushing a small grove.

A treant?

Could plants also become Mutated Beasts?

Zhang Ping was shocked and quickly used his Appraisal Skill on the old treant.

After several failed attempts, the treant's attributes finally appeared.

...

Not good.

Zhang Ping's expression changed slightly.

He had thought it was a special Mutated Beast, but it turned out to be one of The Lost.

He quickly crouched down and gently picked up little Theron, preparing to leave quietly.

But suddenly, vines sprouted all around, blocking all his escape routes.

The giant treant slowly approached, its murky eyes fixed on Zhang Ping. It spoke in a resonant voice, "It's been a long time since I've seen someone make it here. Young one, where are you from?"

This was trouble.

Zhang Ping held little Theron tightly, looking gravely at the treant.
