Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Young Gilas, Sandstorm King!

Chapter 18 Larvitar! Have you... learned a new move?!
The four tall figures quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor, their heavy footsteps fading into the distance, and finally, silence returned to the room and the surroundings.

Lin Xia stood at the door, holding a handful of brand-new daily necessities, watching the direction her senior brothers had left, and a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

Young Gilas relaxed and rubbed its little head against Lin Xia's leg, letting out a soft "yo-yo" as if to say:

These big guys seem pretty good?

After closing the door, Lin Xia immediately began tidying up.

Lay out the thick, sun-kissed quilt, change the sheets and pillowcases, arrange the toiletries neatly on the washbasin stand, and fold the new clothes and put them in the wardrobe.

After he tidied up the room, it was instantly transformed and filled with a warm and inviting atmosphere.

After finishing these tasks, Lin Xia walked to the table and sat down. With a slight thought, she took out dozens of mithril ore stones that shimmered with a soft silver light from the spatial soul tool ring bestowed upon her by her teacher, Lou Gao.

These ores are not large pieces, but rather lumps formed like fine sand, cool to the touch, and radiating pure metallic energy fluctuations.

Lin Xia picked up a piece of mithril ore and put it in his mouth without hesitation. "Crack," a crisp cracking sound rang out in the quiet room. He chewed it carefully, feeling the pure metallic energy melt in his mouth, flowing down his esophagus into his limbs and bones, nourishing his soul power and physical body.

At the same time, he opened the books provided by Lou Gao and began to read them eagerly, taking advantage of the sunlight streaming in from the window.

Meanwhile, when Young Gilas saw the mithril ore that suddenly appeared on the table, piled up in a small heap and shimmering with an alluring silver light, his ruby-like eyes instantly shone with an unprecedented light!
"Yo-ji!!!"

A scream filled with extreme surprise and happiness shattered the silence of the room!
Young Gilas pounced on the table like an arrow released from a bow, its short claws grabbing mithril ore at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye and frantically stuffing it into its mouth!
"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!"

The young Gilas's little head flicked into a blur, its cheeks puffed out so much they almost burst through its gray-green skin, and it made a satisfied "mmm" sound from its throat. Its eyes were so happy that they were squinted into two slits, and its tail was slapping excitedly.

The way they ate was like a glutton who had been starving for hundreds of years finally seeing a Manchu Han Imperial Feast. Every bite was a complaint and compensation for the past half month when they could only eat ordinary stones and live a life of hardship!
The cool, pure energy of the mithril ore made it feel completely comfortable, and every scale seemed to be cheering.

Lin Xia looked up from the book and saw Young Gilas looking like a "starving ghost reincarnated" and a "heartless freeloader." Her lips twitched involuntarily, feeling both amused and sorry for him.

This little guy, from the time he awakened his martial soul until now, has followed me through mountains and rivers, and the best thing he's ever eaten is iron ore. He's never seen anything like this "high-end stuff".
No wonder he was so excited.

Lin Xia shook her head helplessly yet indulgently, watching Young Gilas frantically sweep up the dozens of mithril ore pieces on the table. Seeing the small pile rapidly diminishing at a visible speed, Young Gilas still scratched at the table with its claws, seemingly searching for any that had slipped through the net.

Lin Xia sighed silently and gently tapped her finger on the spatial ring.

wow-

Another small pile of mithril ore of the same weight appeared on the table as if by magic, instantly filling the gap left by Larvitar's sweep.

Eat slowly, there's plenty to go around.

Lin Xia's voice was filled with laughter as she watched Young Gilas, who was once again overjoyed and rushed towards the new pile of ore, reach out and take out a piece of mithril ore to eat.

Time passed quietly, and about half an hour went by.

Suddenly, the "click" sound stopped abruptly.

Lin Xia subconsciously turned her head to look, only to see Young Gilas had already lightly jumped down from the table.

Instead of lying there contentedly or looking around curiously as usual after eating, the little guy went straight to Lin Xia's feet, stretched out his gray-green little paws, and gently, with a hint of eagerness, tugged at Lin Xia's trouser leg.

Lin Xia's concentration on studying was interrupted, but she wasn't annoyed at all. She put down her book, looked down at the little dinosaur at her feet, and asked gently:
"Youngkiras? What's wrong? Are you full?"

"Yo-ji! Yo-ji yo-ji!" When the young Gilas saw its master looking over, it immediately barked excitedly a few times. First, it stretched out its short paws and pointed hard at its round little belly. Then it pointed towards the closed door and the yard outside. Its eyes were bright and full of excitement, eager to share.

Immediately afterwards, it used both of its little paws to grab Lin Xia's trouser leg, leaned back slightly, and made a pulling motion, as if trying to drag Lin Xia directly outside.

"Ok?"

Lin Xia was slightly taken aback by Young Gilas's unusual and urgent behavior.

But looking into the little guy's sparkling ruby ​​eyes and feeling the intense excitement it was conveying, a thought flashed through my mind like lightning!

Lin Xia crouched down, looked at Young Giras at eye level, and her eyes instantly flashed with immense joy.

"Younggiras! Have you... learned a new move?!"

"Yoji!"

Young Gilas nodded its little head vigorously, the obtuse angles on its head swaying as it responded with absolute certainty.

It loosened its grip on Lin Xia's trouser leg, jumped up and down twice more impatiently, pointed to the door again, and let out a whimpering sound.

"real?!"

Lin Xia's heart burst with joy, a bright smile bloomed on her face, and she immediately stood up.

"Come on! Take me to see this!"

Once given permission, the young Gilas darted toward the door like a gray-green arrow, deftly using its tiny paws to pry open the half-closed door and enter the backyard.

Lin Xia followed closely behind, her heart pounding with anticipation.

The baby Gilas didn't run around in the yard; its little nose twitched slightly, as if it were looking for a suitable spot.

Soon, it spotted a small, relatively open patch of land in the corner of the garden, where there were only some tenacious weeds and no delicate flowers.

It turned around and barked "yoji" at Lin Xia, gesturing for him to look here.

Lin Xia held her breath, her gaze fixed on Young Gilas.

The little creature stood before the patch of soil, its body slightly lowered, and an invisible energy fluctuation emanated from its tiny form.

Immediately afterwards, its short front paws and its small head covered with gray-green carapace simultaneously shone with a layer of earthy yellow light that seemed almost tangible!
The light was concentrated and did not dissipate, carrying a heavy yet sharp aura, as if it had gathered the power of the earth into a single point!
The next moment, Larva moved!

Its movements were incredibly fast. The moment it finished charging up, its entire body, like a high-speed rotating drill, plunged headfirst into the soil beneath its feet!
"Splash—crash!"

There was no violent impact or dust storm as expected. The moment the head and claws covered in yellowish-brown light touched the soil, the hard soil seemed to turn into soft quicksand, easily separated and pushed aside!

A circular hole, nearly half a meter in diameter, with smooth edges and an unfathomable depth, appeared before Lin Xia's eyes almost in the blink of an eye!
The vanished soil seemed to be instantly transferred and compressed to the cave walls by an invisible force, and the whole process was incredibly smooth!

Only the edge of the cave entrance emitted a faint yellowish-brown glow and wisps of earthy scent.

"This...this is?!"
