Starting with the Broken-Winged Frost Butterfly: Beast Taming

The little tiger looked pained as it ate. The scalding moss rat meat was not only hot, but also contained residual electric arcs. It shivered as it ate. What little tiger could withstand that?

So I just laughed and didn't care.

With its thick skin and strong stomach acid, it gnaws at everything in sight, finding it so delicious that it can't stop.

"Doraemon, Dorami, you eat too."

Liang Baizhou brought a total of five pet beasts this time, all of which were sealed cards except for the steel giraffe.

Includes two "Little Tigers" that were temporarily requisitioned.

The "Butt Tree Spirit" that Zhu Ye bought at a cost of AA.

And the mature D-rank "Whitebearded Goblin" acquired in preparation for the trip to the secret realm.

"Waaah..."

Six adorable tiger cubs gathered together and got electrocuted, making them stick out their tongues.

Zhu Ran smiled and continued to observe the environment.

Through the holes overhead, the sky remained a deathly pale white from beginning to end.

This secret realm seems to have no distinction between day and night?

Wishing you a bright future.

Then look at those building ruins.

Its outline is stiff and its structure is bizarre, completely unlike what one would expect from a human craftsman directing his beasts to build.

"It seems to be covered in signs of battle, including cuts from sharp weapons and the impact of heavy objects... Did war beasts fight here many years ago?"

Zhu Ran pondered intently, filled with longing.

Unfortunately, there are too few clues.

Based solely on this scene, one can only imagine it; there is no way to deduce its meaning.

The priority should be to find the source of the black flames and investigate the strangeness of this place...

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble, and layers of rubble and debris slid down.

A colossal elephant, its entire body ablaze, charged toward them, scorching white smoke billowing from its mouth, its heavy hooves pounding on their chests.

Its long nose rose to the sky, and a deep roar burst forth, echoing throughout the ruins.

"Fire Lion Elephant? A tough opponent has arrived. Prepare for battle!"

Zhu Ran retreated, standing behind the leaky turtle, his expression grim.

"We're so unlucky, running into a mature B-rank right off the bat, and a berserk one at that..."

Liang Baizhou gave a wry smile.

The team includes an S-class school beauty who surpasses the entire school, and a famous "Master Zhu" who is known throughout the school.

Could it be that his luck was too low, dragging the whole team down, so he was teleported to this godforsaken place?

"Tuntun, don't make a move. This guy is all brute force. Let's outsmart him."

Xuexi was fast asleep, Qin Taozhi sat on the big lotus flower watching the show, and Grandpa Liang was so disgusted he was picking his toes.

If it were someone else, they would be in a real bind.

Fortunately, there's also the adorable little tiger in the team.

Zhu Ran gave a deep command, and the Doraemon team split into three groups.

First, Shizuka and Nobita drew the firepower head-on.

Then, Gian and Suneo started harassing them from the side.

Although the sealing cards of Doraemon and Dorami were in Liang Baizhou's hands, they knew that Zhu Ran was the real "Tiger Master" and Liang Baizhou was at most the "Tiger Second Master," so they volunteered to flank and attack from behind.

"Clang clang clang~"

Six pairs of heart-shaped eyes blinked and danced, pink and gold stars and little hearts flew around in a chaotic pattern, and a light cherry blossom pink mist spread silently, filling the air with a sweet and soft scent as if cotton candy had been kneaded in.

The roar of the fire lion-elephant, which was in the center of the encirclement, suddenly stopped.

The momentum of charging forward subsided, and a wisp of pink light flickered in the depths of her deep red eyes.

"roar!!"

The next second, the pink light turned black, and the crack tore open from the middle.

The fiery lion's massive body convulsed violently, and the raging flames sometimes surged and sometimes died down.

In a fit of rage, it haphazardly created several large craters and then slammed its head heavily against the stone pillar.

After several bouts of madness, his limbs went limp, and he collapsed to his knees, uttering intermittent moans.

"May you be mighty, sir!"

Knowing he lacked fighting strength, Liang Baizhou made up for it with his emotions. In this moment of great victory, he had to put on a great show and act as the most professional atmosphere-maker in the entire event.

"This can be solved? Not bad, not bad. It looks like this month will be much easier."

With nothing else to do, Qin Taozhi actually started eating potato chips, watching the scene with great relish from the lotus seat.

To be honest, she hadn't watched the video introducing the adorable tiger that had over ten million views online.

She has little interest in cute pets and doesn't appreciate them.

However, no qualified pet master would dare to underestimate the Fire Lion Elephant in its enraged state.

To be able to secure victory without losing a single weapon or item... was somewhat beyond her expectations.

"Uncle Liang, would you like to consider a contract?"

The panel displays "Mental Tear/Pain/Coma".

This injury still has a chance of healing, so Zhu Ran mentioned it again.

"No, I don't think so."

Liang Baizhou hesitated before politely declining:

"The Fire Lion Elephant and Armor Lord are very similar in type, the difference being the fire element."

"Besides, we've only just entered the secret realm, and it feels like such a waste to sign a life contract now."

"So, what do you think: kill or spare?"

Zhu Ran hopes to respect her teammates' opinions, after all, this is a team effort.

Liang Baizhou hesitated again.

Although the Fire Lion Elephant cannot be defined as a rare Grade B, it is still more expensive than a regular Grade B, with a market value of approximately 35.

Just like that, they killed him...

"indecisive."

Qin Tao snorted coldly, "The secret realm has no shortage of wild extraordinary beasts. You'll waste most of your day catching one, and afterwards you'll have to figure out how to treat its mental trauma and feed it every day. Is that really worth it?"

Liang Baizhou looked ashamed.

One of the joys of venturing into the secret realm is capturing wild pets using blank seal cards.

However, this process is not easy. The stronger the goal, the more mental energy is consumed, and the longer it takes.

From Hua Ji's perspective, capturing a severely injured fire lion elephant is meaningless, Liang Baizhou understands.

"roar……"

The fire lion opened its eyes and let out a muffled groan.

In those mottled pupils, a faint trace of a shattered peach heart still lingered.

Despite suffering severe mental trauma, his will to survive remained so clear that it made one's heart clench.

Zhu Ran was slightly moved.

He has experienced too little bloodshed and violence, so he is not yet capable of being heartless.

To save or not to save?

"Master Zhu, with our base expansion, the original staff is definitely not enough. For the trip to the secret realm, we might as well recruit a few more pet beast security guards..."

Hearing Liang Baizhou's hesitant words, he looked again at Qin Tao's cold and beautiful face.

Zhu Ran decided to act on impulse.

Perhaps with more experience, he will become ruthless and decisive.

But at least for now, he is still a college student who has just left the city and has not yet personally experienced the brutal battlefield.

"Master Liang, I'm leaving it to you. I'll keep watch."

Liang Baizhou's previous hesitation vanished. Since Master Zhu had offered his support, what else was there to say? He could just focus on his work!

Watching Grandpa Liang pull out a small package from the white-bearded goblin, and then take out a blank sealing card from the package, with one side of the card facing the fire lion elephant.

Zhu Ran smiled.

The fire lion and elephant belong to the fire element. Using them to guard the gate is too abstract. If they accidentally start a fire, wouldn't you lose everything?

However, the name "Super Burning Life" is somewhat misleading without any fire-type pets present.

Let's build another cafeteria then.

A mature B-rank fire-type creature is more than capable of providing the heat needed for the cafeteria to operate throughout the day.

The leftovers from each day are easily dealt with by Fire Lion Elephant, given his appetite.
