The charred soil around the charred pit was more than two meters tall. If someone stepped on it, it would instantly be above their knees.
Although the flames had already been extinguished, the charred soil still emitted a scorching heat wave. It could be seen how terrifying the temperature here was just now.
With the help of Zhou Xiruo and Chen Xue, Wang Xiao laboriously arrived at the edge of the charred pit. He could vaguely see a few small black dots swaying on the other side. Liu Wenbo and the others had probably come to check.
Wang Xiao waved his hand as a greeting. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the bottom of the pit. Soon, he discovered the corpse of the [Ice Corrosion Python] in the soil. The surface was almost completely carbonized, and white smoke was still rising from some cracks. It was at least 70% cooked.
Seeing this situation, Wang Xiao could not help but click his tongue regretfully. The entire body of the [Ice Mountain Python] was a treasure, but now that it was burned to this extent, it was probably not bad if he could find a few pieces of roasted meat.
Beside the corpse of the [Ice Mountain Melting Lizard], the [Volcano Melting Lizard] curled up on the ground and did not move. It looked like it was dead, but the flames on its back were still burning strongly.
Seeing this, Wang Xiao immediately had an idea. Now that the [Ice Corrosion Python] was dead and the [Volcano Melting Lizard] was severely injured, wasn’t this a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone?
“What are you thinking?”
Zhou Xiruo’s voice suddenly sounded. Wang Xiao turned around and realized that Zhou Xiruo was staring at him with a scrutinizing gaze.
“Huh?”
Wang Xiao felt a little guilty for no reason. “I-I didn’t think of anything..
“Clit it Oilt! Von definitely don’t have any good intentions with that expression!”
Zhou Xiruo looked like she had seen through Wang Xiao and asked firmly, “Do you want to kill the [Volcano Melting Lizard] when it’s weak?”
“What?”
Chen Xue’s expression changed. Before Wang Xiao could speak, she shook her head firmly. “Absolutely not! The [Volcano Melting Lizard] could have stayed out of this. We were the ones who forcefully pulled it in! Now that it saved us and injured us, you actually want to take advantage of the situation!”
Wang Xiao had just opened his mouth when Zhou Xiruo added, “Wang Xiao! I’ll listen to you about everything else, but I definitely can’t do this! Do you know where we found the [Volcano Melting Lizard]? In its nest!”
“It’s a mother! There are still two newborn babies in its nest. If you kill it now, what will happen to the two little [Volcano Melting Lizards]? They don’t have the ability to hunt and will definitely die!”
“Wang Xiao, I’ve taught you to repay kindness. Not only to humans, but also to mutated beasts! It just saved us, but you want to repay kindness with ingratitude. I definitely won’t agree to this!”
“Also! I…
Zhou Xiruo was about to say something when she suddenly discovered Wang Xiao’s half-dead expression. She was stunned for a moment before asking in confusion, “What’s wrong with you again? Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Wang Xiao rolled his eyes bitterly. “Did you give me a chance to speak?”
The two of them looked at each other with awkward expressions.
“Then speak,” Zhou Xiruo whispered.
“In any case, you can’t kill it if you want to! ” Chen Xue added.
“Sigh…”
Wang Xiao sighed and pointed at the [Volcano Melting Lizard] at the bottom of the pit. “What I want to say is that it’s easier to subdue mutated beasts in a weak state. I want to see if I can sign a contract with it. Who said I wanted to kill it?”
“Didn’t you want to kill it?!”
Zhou Xiruo exclaimed, and the expression on her face became even more awkward.
Chen Xue also hurriedly looked up at the sky. They were not beast tamer lords, so they naturally did not know what was going on.
“There are a total of three ways to sign a mutated beast contract.”
Wang Xiao stretched out three fingers and explained, “The first is to contract with a drop of blood before the beast egg hatches. It’s also the simplest method.”
“The second type requires the mutated beast to acknowledge you and take the initiative to send out a request to sign a contract. This is how I obtained my [Gold Armor Black Turtle]. The third type is also the most difficult…”
Wang Xiao pointed at the [Volcano Melting Lizard] at the bottom of the pit. “First, severely injure the mutated beast and then sign a contract while it’s weak. Although there’s a chance of failure, mutated beasts can recover faster in the territory, so almost no mutated beast will refuse.”
After explaining clearly, Wang Xiao looked at Zhou Xiruo and Chen Xue respectively. “So, can the two of you bring me down now?”
“Ah… sure.”
Chen Xue nodded. Then, with a thought, three pink [Slimes] were summoned.
Wang Xiao could not help but be a little surprised when he saw this. He did not expect the seemingly “unfathomable” Chen Xue to have such cute soldiers. No wonder he did not see her summon during the battle just now.
As if knowing what Wang Xiao was thinking, Chen Xue waved her hand unnaturally. “Stop looking! Hurry up and go down. Don’t let them beat us to it!”
“Who?”
Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment before looking opposite and seeing that the black dots had already slid down the slope.
Although he did not know what Liu Wenbo and the others wanted to do when they went down, it was best to take action as soon as possible when there were too many people around when subduing the mutated beasts.
Thinking of this, the three of them hurriedly jumped onto the pink [Slime]. Then, with Chen Xue’s order, the three pink [Slime] jumped towards the bottom of the pit.
Although these three [Slimes] were cute, their speed was not slow at all. Although the three of them set off later, they arrived before Liu Wenbo and the others.
Without stopping for a moment, Wang Xiao headed straight for the [Volcano Melting Lizard]. However, when he was still more than ten meters away, a surging fire wall suddenly appeared on the ground!
“Don’t be nervous! I don’t have any ill intentions!”
Wang Xiao hurriedly raised his hand and shouted. Then, he leaned forward and tried his best to put his face in front of the [Volcano Melting Lizard]. “Look carefully. I created that fire attribute venue just now!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the fire wall was extinguished.
Wang Xiao successfully arrived in front of the [Volcano Melting Lizard] and said sincerely, “I’m sorry for involving you, but we really have no choice. Thank you very much for saving us!”
With that said, Wang Xiao bowed deeply to the [Volcano Melting Lizard]. In the distance, Zhou Xiruo and Chen Xue also nodded in greeting.
The [Volcanic Melting Lizard] did not react. Wang Xiao continued, “You’re very weak now. I want you to be my contract soldier so that you can recover from your injuries in my territory. What do you think?”
The [Volcanic Melting Lizard] spat out a breath from its nose and instantly created another wall of fire. If Wang Xiao had not sensed it in time and taken a step back, this fire would have directly burned him!
The two women in the distance were shocked. Zhou Xiruo hurriedly shouted,
“Wang Xiao! It’s too dangerous! Why don’t we forget about it?”
Wang Xiao sighed and was about to leave when he accidentally saw the eyes of the [Volcano Melting Lizard]. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat as he probed, “What if I also let your child be my contract soldier?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xiao realized that the gaze of the [Volcano Melting Lizard] had changed. Immediately after, a notification sounded in his ear.
[Volcanic Melting Lizard requests to sign a contract with you!]
