1073 Roar and Sit Down

Lin Qiao felt that the creature was much weaker than before. On one hand, the creature was injured severely before and hadn't recovered yet; on the other hand, she herself had grown much stronger.

She grew stronger while the enemy became weaker.

Lin Qiao's confidence was instantly boosted as she had already figured out how strong the level-eight creature currently was. Also, she had a feeling that she might be able to become a zombie emperor if she absorbed all of the level-eight creature's energy.

Once again, she released a flake of dark fire. The meters wide, pitch dark stream of fire gushed toward the creature.

Earlier on, she was only trying to feel the enemy out and had not launch a serious attack yet.

"Roar… er…" The devouring energy contained in the black fire was like a natural destroyer for those underground creatures. As a result, the large puff of fire frightened the underground creatures on the scene and made them step back.

"Roar…" Even the level-eight one gave a roar with fright as it quickly stepped backward before turning around and running.

"Wanna run?" Lin Qiao whispered as she sent the fire forward and also swiftly followed behind the creature.

The level-eight creature wanted to move faster. However, it couldn't help but shamble from side to side. It seemed to have lost its balance, and wasn't able to control its body anymore.

Without the balance, it was slowed further down. Lin Qiao's dark fire flashed up to it within a blink of an eye and shrouded it.

"Roarrrr…" The creature roared in a panic, although kit did not dare to stop moving. It kept running forward even though it could not run far. It was trying its best to escape. Only when it ran to a safe place could it focus its mind to suppress the strange energy inside its body.

Boom! Boom! Its enormous, especially strong body thudded heavily against the cave wall, making it start to shake and fall.

"Roar…" The other underground creatures fled in all directions, none of them trying to help their leader. In comparison with their leader, their own lives were definitely more important for them.

Lin Qiao followed closely behind the big one. The large creature had lost balance, but it was still running fast. Wherever it went, the place would quake and collapse.

The further it went, the narrower the tunnel became.

Suddenly, a thunderous bang was heard from the front, followed by no more sounds. Lin Qiao came over and took a look, then almost burst in laughter. The enormous creature was stuck in the tunnel, surrounded by some large earth pieces and kicking its rear legs.

Its huge body was stuck in the tunnel. At the moment, it wasn't able to move forward or backward.

"Roar…" The creature struggled anxiously as it kicked its legs as hard as it could. Sensing Lin Qiao's approach, it roared in panic.

Lin Qiao stood behind the creature and quietly watched it twist its large butt and short legs. The dark fire could not hurt the creature's strong skin, but the fire inside its body had been fighting against its power. Of course, no one was gaining anything at this moment; Lin Qiao couldn't absorb its power while the creature couldn't force the fire out of its body.

"Roar… errrr…" The creature struggled as it kicked its legs, then abruptly, uttered a weird, low and soft voice that sounded like the moans of a poor and confused puppy which was abandoned by its owner.

Of course, the creature's voice was much louder than the voice of a puppy.

Hearing its voice, Lin Qiao paused with surprise, then had a thought flash across her mind.

"Eh? No way!"

"Errrrr…" The level-eight underground creature stopped struggling, lying there quietly as it reached its rear legs backward and uttered a series of weird moans from its throat.

Lin Qiao thought for a moment, then said to herself, "It's not like what I think it is, right? You got to be kidding me!"

If she could control the big guy, she would no longer need to worry that the underground creatures might form an army again to attack her base! She hadn't figured out a way to protect her base from those creatures yet. Even if she killed the level-eight one, the other underground creatures might elect a new leader. They would still be a threat to her base.

She might as well bring the level-eight one under her control. Wasn't it a perfect plan to use that one to control the entire herd? If she could do that, why would she bother to find out their weakness?

With that thought, Lin Qiao immediately made a step forward, grabbed the creature's large tail, and threw it into her space. She put the big one into the woods, where she was more than strong enough to suppress it.

Being thrown into the woods, the creature actually lay its chest on the ground and buried its head in its arms.

"Roar?" Sensing their leader's scent, the group that Lin Qiao caught earlier instantly gathered toward the big one. The latter twitched its nose slightly, then moved a claw away from its head.

Lin Qiao stood on a tree nearby as she looked at the big one. As she raised a hand and a small handful of roots appeared in her hand. Then, she broke one piece of the root and threw it down.

"Roar…" The big one nimbly dodged the root, then raised its head to sniff at Lin Qiao. At that point, she said to it, "Sit down."

The creature had no eyes, and Lin Qiao did not know if it could understand human language. It couldn't see and didn't understand her language. So, how was she supposed to train it?

As she thought, the big guy made no reaction to her instruction.

Lin Qiao paused briefly; she had guessed right. What should she do?

At that moment, a loud series of dog barks were heard from outside the woods.

"Owowowowo!"

"Roar!" Hearing the dog, the big one immediately lowered its upper body and bared its teeth, facing the outside as it gave a roar.

While thinking about how to train the big one, Lin Qiao heard the creature and Bowwow roar at each other, which suddenly gave her an idea.

"Roar!" She gave the creature a roar as well. 'Sit down,' she said to it.

"Roar? Er?" Hearing Lin Qiao's roar, the fierce big guy gave a questioning roar in half a minute, then turned to look at Lin Qiao.

'Oh… Did that work? Do these things exchange messages by using their mind power?'

"Roar…" 'Sit down, or I'll beat you.'

Lin Qiao roared at the creature again. Meanwhile, she released a flake of dark fire from her palm.

"Roar… Er!" The big one dropped its head once the fire appeared. It closed its mouth and put both palms on the ground as it bent its knees. It really sat down on the ground.

Lin Qiao didn't know what to say.

The creature turned out to be pretty smart! For mutated animals, the higher the level they reached, the smarter they could be!

Currently, she had three pets. Bowwow was relatively normal, but both Black and the mushroom were a little weird. And now, there was a new one, a big one…
