"Little Dragon, don't kill it." Li Lin shouted loudly, only to see Little Dragon opening its gaping maw ready to devour the Blood Lizard, Li Lin hurriedly stopped it, thinking it was a great opportunity to control a fourth-grade demon beast.
"Yes, boss." In Li Lin's mind, the voice of Little Dragon came again, crisp and with a rebellious air, but also very affectionate towards Li Lin.
The Blood Lizard, having taken several consecutive attacks, was already severely injured, its body completely powerless, yet still struggling desperately.
"How about following me, Blood Lizard?" Li Lin said lightly, standing in front of the Blood Lizard, which was now completely suppressed by Little Dragon and Kui, unable to move at all.
"Dream on, deceitful human, to think you've controlled so many demon beasts, all the beasts on the continent won't let you off." The Blood Lizard struggled and roared.
"Rebellious beast, you think I can't deal with you?" Li Lin snorted coldly.
"Blood Soul Mark."
A sound of dragon, phoenix, lion, and tiger roars faintly came from his palm, and a strange seal appeared on Li Lin's right palm, looking like a dragon yet not a dragon, like a tiger yet not a tiger, a tremendous pressure spreading from it.
Feeling this immense pressure, the weakened Blood Lizard was instantly terrified, its body starting to tremble, completely suppressed by an invisible force, a pressure seemingly not inferior to Little Dragon's.
At this moment, Li Lin skillfully threw the Blood Soul Mark in his hand, with a loud roar of dragon, phoenix, lion, and tiger, smashing it into the forehead of the Blood Lizard, turning into a blood-colored light and disappearing.
"Little Dragon Protector."
At this time, Li Lin sat cross-legged, constantly changing the seals in his hands, with divine light falling directly into the forehead of the Blood Lizard.
"Human, since you are a spiritualist, you can't control me, you are just a Spirit Master. I have already notified two Demon Kings to come, it's too late for you to leave now, you will die a gruesome death." Just then, a roar from the Blood Lizard came into Li Lin's mind, and a mini version, half a meter in size, of the Blood Lizard appeared in a vast white space.
"Hmph, even if the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao and the Stone Ape Demon King come, it will be of no use, at least you will be in my hands." Li Lin coldly shouted, sensing the Blood Lizard's soul, which was extremely strong, probably stronger than the soul force of an average fourth-level warrior, but fortunately, his own soul force was somewhat unique, and with the Blood Soul Mark's help, controlling the Blood Lizard should not be difficult.
"Behave yourself." Li Lin then shouted deeply, controlling the dragon-tiger shaped beast formed by the Blood Soul Mark to envelop the Blood Lizard.
At this time, the mini version of the Blood Lizard struggled violently, trying to flee quickly, but seemingly unable to escape the pursuit of the Blood Soul Mark.
"Damn human, I'll fight you." The Blood Lizard roared, its half-meter body now covered in blood light, enveloping the entire vast white space.
"Hmph, be suppressed." Li Lin shouted again, the Blood Soul Mark now turning into boundless blood-colored light, with a tremendous pressure spreading fiercely.
"Bang bang..."
Explosions roared, in the outside world, Li Lin's hand seals kept changing, his face also slightly pale, the Blood Lizard was indeed difficult to control, a fourth-grade early-stage demon beast level, if not for being severely injured at the moment and its soul force also affected, otherwise, it would have been impossible to control it.
"Beast Control Technique, Suppress." Li Lin softly shouted, again a dazzling light shooting into the forehead of the Blood Lizard.
"Aow..."
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
In the mind of the Blood Lizard, sounds of dragon roars, tiger howls, lion roars, and phoenix cries echoed out, a huge pressure spread fiercely.
At this moment, the blood-red light instantly contracted, and the mini version of the Blood Lizard appeared in the space again, terrified.
"Shoo..." A blood light instantly shot into the forehead of the mini version of the Blood Lizard, the extremely resistant Blood Lizard immediately started to become docile.
"Master." In the canyon, the fierce Blood Lizard had now become docile, speaking to Li Lin.
"Blood Lizard, did you just notify the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao to come?" Li Lin asked.
"Yes." The Blood Lizard replied docilely, at this time Little Dragon and Kui also released the Blood Lizard.
"Blood Lizard, can you shrink your body?" Li Lin asked.
"Master, we demon beasts can freely shrink our bodies after condensing the inner alchemy at the fourth-grade level, but it will affect our strength, the original state is the strongest." After saying that, the Blood Lizard instantly turned into twenty centimeters in size, its body blood red, indistinguishable from a regular lizard, like a mini version of a lizard.
"Snow Lion, let's go." Li Lin's face changed, immediately packed up Kui, the Bloodthirsty Mantid, the Green Demon Python, the Iron Eagle, etc., taking Little Dragon and the Blood Lizard, quickly leaving the canyon, if the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao arrived, it would be real trouble.
"Little Dragon, how can you speak, have you reached the fourth-grade demon beast level?" On the back of the Winged Snow Lion, Li Lin looked at Little Dragon, now shrunk to twenty-two or three centimeters, and asked, Little Dragon being able to speak surprised Li Lin.
"Boss, I can only communicate with you mentally, I can't speak to outsiders, to speak openly requires reaching the fourth-grade level, I've just broken through the third-grade, you and I have a blood pact, so you can hear my words." Little Dragon's round little eyes rolled happily as it continued, "Boss, I can talk to you from now on, so you won't misunderstand what I say, I was almost frustrated to death before."
"Hehe." Li Lin smiled slightly, then said, "Little Dragon, are you a demon beast or a spirit beast, now at the third-grade demon beast level?"
"Boss, actually I don't even know whether I am a spirit beast or a demon beast, when I just broke through, I received some information in my mind, so I know I am now at the third-grade level, other things are still very vague to me, but I'm sure, when I break through again, I will receive some information again." Little Dragon said, also full of confusion.
"Little Dragon, do you still remember how you met me, do you remember what happened before you met me?" Li Lin asked.
"I don't remember." Little Dragon shook its head and said.
Li Lin wanted to inquire about Little Dragon's origins, but since Little Dragon didn't remember anything, he had to let it be, and now it was still unclear whether Little Dragon was a spirit beast or a demon beast, Uncle Jiang only mentioned that Little Dragon was a Spirit Emperor beast, but didn't elaborate further.
"Boss, where are we going now?" Looking ahead, Little Dragon asked.
"We're heading to the Yunyang Sect, it will take some time to get there." Li Lin said.
"By the way, Little Dragon, you're only at the third-grade level, how come your strength is so strong?" Li Lin asked.
"Boss, you don't know, this is my talent. My original body is very powerful. Now at the third-grade level, I feel that average fourth-grade demon beasts and spirit beasts are no match for me." Little Dragon said proudly.
After communicating with Little Dragon for a while, Li Lin got to know more about Little Dragon. Its strength was exceptionally formidable, far more terrifying than overcoming those of higher levels. Having Little Dragon by his side, Li Lin undoubtedly felt much more secure.
"Hu hu..."
The Winged Snow Lion flew rapidly, its wings stirring streams of air, speeding to the extreme.
To avoid being caught by the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao, Li Lin had to make the Winged Snow Lion fly rapidly. Once they escaped this dangerous area, they would be safe.
"Blood Lizard, take this pill, it will be beneficial for your injuries." Li Lin took out a fourth-grade initial stage healing pill and threw it to the Blood Lizard. Pills were effective for demon beasts as well. Li Lin was well aware of the Blood Lizard's injuries; it had been hit several times by Little Dragon and Kui. If not for its strong defensive capabilities, the consequences could have been even worse.
"Thank you, master." The Blood Lizard swallowed the pill on Li Lin's shoulder.
Having tamed a fourth-grade demon beast, Li Lin was exceedingly happy. With Little Dragon's breakthrough, the strongest around him now were Little Dragon and Kui, followed by the Blood Lizard and the Winged Snow Lion. Now, Li Lin himself could contend with average Martial Souls, which meant he had some self-protection ability.
Of course, this was only in relative terms. If he encountered a strong opponent, there would still be absolute danger. Facing a Martial Marquis level cultivator, even escaping would be difficult.
"Ao..."
Just before Little Dragon's breakthrough, in the canyon where hundreds of demon beasts had gathered, including many flying beasts.
Among them, in the canyon, there was a beast with a body length of over three hundred meters, covered in red scales like a giant python, with five heads, each looking fierce with ten eyes shining with ferocity, and a pair of red wings on its back. When the wings were spread, they spanned two hundred meters wide.
If Li Lin were here, he would recognize this as the strongest beast in the Wudu Mountain Range, the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao.
Next to the Nine-Headed Demon Jiao was a giant ape over a hundred meters tall, its body not covered in fur but in a greenish-white carapace, resembling stone, known as the Stone Ape Demon King.
