Successfully captured the tool lizard! Oh no, the volcano is about to erupt!

What kind of move is this?

Lin Xiyue’s Sword Intent, gathered at her fingertips, paused slightly.

She was completely dumbfounded.

One second, this giant lizard looked like it was going to fight her to the death, an endless battle.

How did it kneel down the next second?

And even spit out a glowing sphere, bowing and begging for mercy?

The art style changed too quickly!

“What is this thing…?”

Lin Xiyue didn't rashly touch the glowing small sphere, but instead eyed it warily.

Who knew if this was the giant lizard's scheme? She didn't want to capsize in a ditch; otherwise, she would lose a lot of Face!

Seeing Lin Xiyue’s prolonged lack of reaction, the giant lizard cried out in urgency, “Woo woo.”

Its two front claws bowed even faster, and its huge head desperately knocked against the ground, adopting a submissive posture of “Big Sister, spare my life, I wouldn’t dare again.”

This scene left the Kunlun Squad members, who had just escaped disaster, utterly dumbfounded.

Was this still the terrifying giant beast that had nearly wiped them out just now?

How did it act like a pet Golden Retriever scolded by its owner in front of Chief Lin?

“Chief… Chief Lin, what’s going on?” Captain Chen Gang asked softly, plucking up his courage.

“I don’t know either.”

“Don’t worry, let me probe its true nature.”

Lin Xiyue was also completely bewildered.

She thought for a moment and decided to first investigate the glowing small sphere.

With a slight thought, an invisible wisp of spiritual sense quietly extended, cautiously touching the Origin essence floating in mid-air.

Buzz!

The moment of contact, a complex and chaotic stream of information instantly flooded into her mind.

Only then did Lin Xiyue suddenly understand.

It turned out that this thing was the giant lizard's lifeline, named “Origin Demonic Soul.”

As long as she imprinted her Divine Soul mark on this Origin Demonic Soul, she could completely control the giant lizard's life and death, making it obediently her pet.

If it dared to disobey,

Then with a single thought, she could make its Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!

“Oh my goodness!”

“Isn’t this the clichéd pet-taming segment in Xuanhuan novels?!”

“If you can’t win, you offer up your lifeline, and from then on, live a life of being a beast of burden?”

“Uh, no… a life with food and lodging provided!”

Lin Xiyue’s small Face was full of surprise.

She really hadn't expected such a good thing to happen to her.

A giant beast with strength comparable to the Foundation Establishment Realm as a pet sounded very cool!

Most importantly, didn't this guy eat Dragon Crystals?

If she let it mine and eat by itself in the future, and also hand over a portion to Great Xia, wouldn't it be a perfect perpetual miner?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiyue’s gaze towards the giant lizard immediately became fervent.

What kind of monster was this!

This was clearly a treasure delivered to her doorstep! A pillar of the nation!

Cannot kill, absolutely cannot kill!

Must be recruited!

Without any further hesitation, the Sword Intent at Lin Xiyue’s fingertips, which was capable of destroying everything, quietly dissipated.

Then she separated a wisp of pure Divine Soul power and carefully pressed it towards the Origin Demonic Soul.

The entire process met no resistance.

The Demonic Soul was like a hungry chick, actively accepting her Divine Soul mark.

In an instant, a wonderful connection was established between Lin Xiyue and the giant lizard.

She could clearly feel the giant lizard’s emotions, a fear and subservience that came from the depths of its Soul.

At the same time, she also felt that with a single thought, she could detonate that Demonic Soul, instantly killing this behemoth.

“It’s done!”

Lin Xiyue was delighted.

She tentatively issued a command to the giant lizard through the newly established Soul link.

“Raise your right claw.”

The next second, the giant lizard obediently and slowly raised its thick right front claw.

“Lie down.”

With a thud, the giant lizard’s massive body crashed to the ground, its head pressed tightly against the earth, not daring to move an inch.

“Haha, so obedient!”

Lin Xiyue was amused, and looking at the giant lizard, she became playful.

“Do a somer… uh… never mind, you probably can’t do that.”

“Then just turn in a circle and let me see.”

Giant lizard: “…”

Although it didn't understand the meaning of the command, it still obediently complied, its massive body clumsily turning in a circle on the spot, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

“Alright, alright, stop turning.”

“Good, you performed very well!”

Lin Xiyue waved her hand in satisfaction.

“Chief… Chief Lin… did you… did you subdue it?”

“Really?!”

Just then, Captain Chen Gang walked up and stammered, his Face full of disbelief.

“Yes.”

Lin Xiyue nodded, stating matter-of-factly, “It has given its life to me; if I don’t accept it, wouldn’t that be very disrespectful?”

“That would hurt its feelings so much!”

Captain Chen Gang: “…”

Kunlun Squad members: “…”

Why did that sound so strange?

But the facts were before their eyes, leaving them no choice but to believe.

For a moment, everyone’s gaze towards Lin Xiyue became even more awestruck.

Suppressing a terrifying giant beast with a flick of her finger, and making it her pet while chatting and laughing.

What kind of heaven-defying means was this!

At this moment, Chief Lin’s image in their hearts had completely transcended the mundane, like a deity.

“Alright, big guy, seeing how red you are, from now on you’ll be called Little Red, simple and easy to remember.”

Lin Xiyue casually gave the giant lizard a name.

And the giant lizard, upon hearing such a perfunctory and sloppy name, involuntarily trembled, seemingly displeased with the name.

But it dared not resist.

Lin Xiyue was its master now.

Whatever name its master gave it, it had to obediently accept; that was its duty as a pet.

“Little Red, from now on, you’ll be responsible for mining Dragon Crystals here, understand?”

“Your daily KPI is…”

Lin Xiyue was enthusiastically preparing to assign tasks to her new employee.

However, just then.

Rumble—!

A tremor far more violent than any before suddenly came from beneath their feet!

The entire underground lava cave began to shake wildly!

“What’s going on?!”

Lin Xiyue was startled and immediately became alert.

The Little Red in front of her also let out an uneasy low growl, its giant eyes fixed on the lava river not far away.

The lava river, which had been flowing steadily, was now completely boiling!

Countless huge bubbles burst on the surface of the lava, stirring up monstrous heat waves!

The lava’s liquid surface was rising rapidly at a visible rate!

Crack!

Crackle, crackle!

Even more alarming was that massive cracks began to appear on the dome of the cave.

Countless gravel (crushed stones) mixed with scorching dust rained down.

A destructive aura surged wildly from deep within the earth!

“Not good!”

Lin Xiyue’s heart sank, and a very bad thought instantly appeared in her mind.

It's bad!

Just now, in order to unleash that world-destroying breath, Little Red forcibly extracted a large amount of lava, severely disrupting the pressure balance inside the volcano!

This led to the Tianchi Volcano, which had been dormant for hundreds of years… seemingly about to erupt its wrath once again!

“Chief Lin… Chief Lin!!”

“Run! This place is going to collapse!”

Looking at the terrifying cracks spreading rapidly like a spider web above their heads, Captain Chen Gang suddenly shrieked in horror.

Before he finished speaking.

Boom!!

Above the dome, a massive rock, the size of a truck, suddenly broke off and plummeted towards everyone’s heads with immense force!
