Others did not respond immediately, as words like "uncertain" and "possible" brought about unknown results. Even with a small chance of failure, everyone had to consider the consequences of failure, which often meant losing their lives.
"What will be the impact if we fail?" Jie Su asked cautiously.
The white dragon horse replied, "For us, it would mean a decrease in Ye Zhongming's reward points, or in other words, a waste. For Pao Bai, there would be no loss."
"And what about you?" Jie Su keenly noted that the white dragon horse had not mentioned how it would be affected. This matter was clearly under its control, and if there were any side effects, it would certainly bear the greatest loss.
The white dragon horse fell silent for a moment before saying, "I am not sure about the specifics, but it is likely I will suffer some injuries, on a mental level, but there will definitely be no danger to my life."
A few people breathed a sigh of relief; if that was the case, it was manageable.
"This is only the burden we have to bear ourselves, but we are about to face a battle. If I am injured and your reward points are decreased, it could significantly impact the outcome of the fight. If that happens, the result becomes unpredictable."
After saying this, the three people and one dragon fell silent.
Death… for them, was not too terrifying. However, remaining here in what seemed like eternal darkness waiting was undoubtedly more frightening than death.
"Go ahead, tell us your thoughts." Ye Zhongming looked at the white dragon horse and said, "We need to know your method so we can weigh whether it's worth the risk."
The white dragon horse flapped its wings and pointed to the Eternal Grace that had been sitting outside. "This equipment is exclusive to you; others cannot use it. But as your battle beast, I should be able to use it without any issues."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three varied, especially Pao Bai. Facing good friends, they wore no masks, and at this moment, their emotions felt somewhat liberating.
"Ye Zhongming uses Eternal Grace to give me some Fuleira, then I will convert all my points into Fuleira. After that, I will sign a contract with Pao Bai, making Pao Bai my battle beast. I will then use Eternal Grace to transfer the Fuleira to him, allowing him to become a great expert."
The white dragon horse laid out the final plan, and without waiting for anyone to respond, it continued, "There are two difficulties here—one is whether I can use Eternal Grace, and the other is that I am already someone else's battle beast. I don't know if I can have my own battle beast, but there is a legend in our race that such a situation is permitted. Whether that is true is uncertain."
Jie Su glanced at Ye Zhongming, then at the white dragon horse and Pao Bai. In his mind, he could not help but imagine what the relationship between the three people and one dragon would be if they succeeded. He sighed inwardly—this relationship seemed quite complicated.
Pao Bai instinctively shook his head, "No, I can't do this. It's impossible."
Become someone else's battle beast? A battle beast of the Rebel Dragon Race? Pao Bai felt this was a cross-species super friendship union, which was contrary to ethics, and he was in a passive, subordinate position. This… reminded him of suffering.
The imagined scenario sent chills down his spine.
"On one side is a great expert, and on the other is just my nominal battle beast. Is such a choice really that difficult?" The white dragon horse looked at Pao Bai with a look of disbelief.
Uh… Pao Bai suddenly felt at a loss for words.
Did he want to become a great expert? Naturally, he did. But if it was in such a way, he would rather… he couldn't make up his mind.
At least for now.
As a silver commander of the Star-Eye Clan and a rising star in Dark Strip City, one of the most renowned young talents in the All Races of the Universe, becoming a… battle beast of the Rebel Dragon Race was not an easy pill to swallow.
Pao Bai looked at Ye Zhongming and then at Jie Su, both giving him expressions that suggested he could make his own decision. He sighed and thought again, feeling that things might not be as bad as he imagined.
