Please be my partner.

As the energy and rules faded away, the Thunder Dragon fell down like a kite with a broken string, rolling on the ground in pain in its soul.

Melen felt a little emotional. This Dragon Taming Ring was indeed a powerful weapon specially designed to deal with giant dragons. The moment it entered the body of the Thunder Dragon, it directly sealed the latter's control over energy and rules. In other words, not only was the Thunder Dragon unable to mobilize the power of thunder between heaven and earth, the blessing at the rule level had also disappeared. Correspondingly, the saint's territory based on the rules could not be used, and only the power of the holy body remained.

Moreover, the tearing pain from the soul will seriously affect the strength of the Thunder Dragon itself.

"Roar!~"

After a short period of time, the Thunder Dragon slightly adapted to the pain in its soul, and turned around and fled without saying a word. It no longer even felt regretful, and only wanted to return to its nest as soon as possible, and then find a way to expel the abnormality in its body.

As for revenge on those little bugs that plotted against it, that is something to be done later.

Although the Thunder Dragon reacted quickly, Melen had been planning this for so long, how could he let it escape so easily?

Even if the Thunder Dragon escaped into the Thunder Lake, it wouldn't be able to recover its strength, but it would still be a bit of a hassle, so...

Mellen stretched out his finger and pointed at the void in front of him. Suddenly, a blood-red ripple spread out in an instant, and the whole world seemed to be submerged in blood.

This was the arrangement that Melen asked Xiao Honglian to make in advance while he was waiting.

Next, it’s a righteous three-on-one fight!

Hmm! Haven’t you seen that when the righteous heroes defeat the evil demon king, they always use more people to defeat fewer people?

In order to make the Dragon Taming Ring truly effective, it is necessary to put the Thunder Dragon into a near-death state within an hour and remove all its instinctive defenses.

The Thunder Dragon, whose strength was suppressed by 70% by the Dragon Control Ring, naturally could not be a match for the three dogs. Moreover, as the injuries on the former became more and more serious, the suppressing effect of the Dragon Control Ring became more and more obvious, and the Thunder Dragon's strength became weaker and weaker.

Finally, after more than ten minutes of torture, the Thunder Dragon fell to the ground with its eyes dull and dying, and the Dragon Control Ring completely bound its soul.

Melen chuckled and said, "It's really not easy. Give it some treatment, but don't let it die."

Xiao Honglian summoned a beam of blood light that swept across the Thunder Dragon's body, and immediately the wounds that were still spurting blood began to shrink. Although they had not healed, the blood was no longer flowing out.

Spike and Golden Retriever also withdrew the power of rules still attached to the Thunder Dragon to avoid subsequent continuous damage.

After a long time, the Thunder Dragon moved. The tearing pain in its soul was gone, and after it regained control over thunder and rules, its injuries were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, but at the same time, it also understood its current situation.

Even though the rage in its heart was enough to burn the Thunder Dragon's soul to ashes, when it saw the smiling human in front of it, it could only lower its proud head and express its submission.

Mellen nodded in satisfaction. With the help of the Dragon Taming Ring, he could sense the rage of the Thunder Dragon to some extent, but he didn't care. All he needed was a thug who could protect the Green Mist Dog in the early stages, nothing more.

Melen directly ordered: "Thunder Dragon, go back to Thunder Lake to recuperate first, and come see me when you are well again. Also, there is a suitable inheritance for you in the Dragon Control Ring, so improve your strength as soon as possible."

The Thunder Dragon accepted the order silently and then flew towards Thunder Lake.

Mellen didn't look away until the Thunder Dragon disappeared from his sight.

Now, three out of four saints in the thunderstorm area have been killed, and only the last Nether Fire Stone Monster is left. As long as it is dealt with, the thunderstorm area can be declared to be in the possession of Green Mist Dog.

After a brief rest, Melen brought the two dogs to the mountains transformed by the Netherfire Stone Monster. In order not to alert the enemy, they all restrained their strength.

Even though it was not the first time, Melen still felt a little shocked when he saw the hundreds of miles of continuous mountains again.

After watching quietly for a while, Melen gently tapped the [Dog of Corruption] on his finger, and suddenly a projection of the power of the green mist dog appeared.

Mellen asked, "How are the preparations going?"

The tiny green mist dog nodded immediately.

Mellen nodded and said, "Then, let's get started."

As Melen finished speaking, green threads began to appear on the nearby ground, extending towards the mountain where the Netherfire Stone Monster was sleeping.

At present, the expansion of the Green Mist Dog can be divided into three parts: the poisonous clouds in the sky, the toxic erosion in the veins of the earth, and the poisonous realm that can change the environment at the rule level.

Among them, the poisonous cloud spreads the fastest, but is also the most obvious, and can be easily dispelled by powerful life invading the area.

Although the toxins in the earth's veins corrode the body slightly slowly, they are extremely concealed, and once they cause pollution, they can directly cause endless poisonous spread, which is especially obvious in the transformation of non-living things.

The expansion speed of the Poison Realm is the slowest, but it is like a powerful position. Every bit of expansion is raising the overall upper limit.

Before Melen went to complete the transaction with Bai Xi, he gave different instructions to the Golden Haired Dog and Green Mist Dog who stayed behind. The Golden Haired Dog naturally had to find a way to lure the Thunder Shadow Snake, while the Green Mist Dog had to temporarily give up the pollution of the earth veins in other directions and focus its main energy on the mountains around the Nether Fire Stone Monster.

Of course, in order not to alert the enemy, Green Mist Dog did not get too close before.

The Netherfire Stone Monster is in a dormant state all year round, actually it is using this to absorb the power of the earth's veins to grow.

After realizing this, Melen wondered if he could pollute the Netherfire Stone Monster by polluting the earth's veins.

To be honest, when this idea first came into Mellen's mind, he thought it was a bit far-fetched.

But, it won't hurt to try anyway. If it works, maybe the last trouble in the thunderstorm area can be solved without bloodshed. Even if it doesn't work, the poison entering the body of the Netherfire Stone Monster can weaken it to a certain extent, giving us the upper hand in the subsequent battle.

In fact, Melen's best plan for the Netherfire Stone Monster is naturally to subdue it, and the worst plan is to expel it from the thunderstorm area.

After all, the Netherfire Stone Monster is not a thunder-type creature. The reason why it stays in the thunderstorm area is, firstly, because the place where it is now is where the earth's veins converge, which is suitable for its growth; secondly, because the chaotic rules in the thunderstorm area are mainly based on thunder, and the Netherfire Stone Monster naturally has a strong immunity to the power of thunder.

With the strength of the Netherfire Stone Monster, it can naturally find an area with strong earth rules, which must have a better environment, but it is also destined to face more challenges.

There aren’t many good places where you can sleep peacefully without worrying about being disturbed.

Therefore, the Netherfire Stone Monster, who was too lazy to take the trouble to move, never left the thunderstorm area.

As the Green Mist Dog's poison spread through the earth's veins, it soon merged into the earth's veins in the area where the Nether Fire Stone Monster was located. As time went on, green spots began to appear in large areas nearby.

It would naturally take more than a short while to corrode and infect a behemoth like the Netherfire Stone Monster. The reason why Mellen came here to guard now was mainly because he was not sure whether his method was reliable and whether the Netherfire Stone Monster would go berserk as soon as it absorbed the added power of the earth.

Two days later, the projection of the green mist dog appeared in front of Mellen again, wagging its tail slightly.

Melen understood that the Green Mist Dog had polluted all the earth veins in all areas around the Netherfire Stone Monster. He nodded slightly, indicating that they could take action.

At this time, if you observe carefully from high altitude, you can clearly see that the land around the Baili Mountains formed by the Nether Fire Stone Monster is surrounded by green lines like roots. At this time, these green lines seem to have received orders and began to branch out into countless branches and spread towards the mountains.

Time passed slowly, one hour... three hours... five hours...

Fluorescent green dots also began to appear on the mountain range formed by the Netherfire Stone Monster. Starting from the foot of the mountain, some plants began to wither, but some plants also became more beautiful.

Suddenly, the entire mountain range shook with a rumbling sound, accompanied by large pieces of rock breaking and rolling down.

Mellen narrowed his eyes slightly, and Spike and Golden Retriever, who had been waiting quietly beside him, also stood up, their faces full of solemnity.

A few hours later, the vibration stopped. A question mark slowly floated over Mellen's head, and his expression became a little tense. Spike and Golden Retriever also looked speechless.

They could feel that the breath of the Netherfire Stone Monster was extremely steady from beginning to end, with no sign of waking up. It seemed that the vibration that had just lasted for several hours was just like the not-so-loud snoring of an ordinary person while sleeping.

After waiting for another three days, things went more smoothly than Melen had imagined. The Netherfire Stone Monster accepted the earth power that had been added with ingredients, and did not produce any resistance after absorbing it, allowing the toxin to spread in its body.

You must know that the toxins that pollute the earth's veins are formed by the body of the Green Mist Dog. Anyone who is contaminated by this toxin is no different from receiving the energy infusion of the Poison Realm. They will unconsciously start the exchange of essence and eventually be controlled by the Green Mist Dog.

And now, the Netherfire Stone Monster didn't react at all?!

Melen didn't know whether this was because the Netherfire Stone Monster itself was too slow or for some other reason, but as long as this process continued, it would be a good thing for Melen.

It doesn't matter even if he is discovered by the Netherfire Stone Monster later. The longer the delay, the better it will be for Mellen.

According to Green Mist Dog's estimation, it would take at least two months to gain an absolute advantage when facing the Netherfire Stone Monster. It just so happened that the expansion of the Poison Realm also took time, so there was no need to rush.

But Mellen doesn't have time to stay here any longer. Time is running out and he has to start a new adventure as soon as possible to find evolution materials for Garuru.

At this point, the last condition has been met.

That’s right, Xiao Liuli, the promotion is completed.

There was no fanfare in Xiao Liuli's promotion to Saint; everything happened naturally.

After completing the promotion, Xiao Liuli immediately jumped out of the fairy tale kingdom and came to Mellen.

Melen stroked little Liuli's soft fur while observing the changes in the little fox.

Xiao Liuli's fur is still pure white, and its body size is comparable to that of an adult tiger. Its three tails have become longer and can cover its entire body when wrapped around it. The various illusions created by the shaking have become more dreamy.

Melen's mind moved slightly, and he opened Xiao Liuli's attribute panel...

【Name】：Glass

[Race]: Three-tailed Fox (Deep Purple Lord) (Descendant of the Fairy)

[Racial Level]: Fifth-order Saint

[Racial Skills]: Charm, Foxlight, Spirit Guard

[Heavenly Demon Heritage]: Ever-changing, the Heavenly Fox's heart questioning, five colors and five lights, a dazzling mirage, reflecting the universe...

[Evolution Direction]: → Nine-tailed Fox (Deep Orange King)

……

……

After becoming a saint, there was no change in the abilities of the Xiao Liuli race, except that they were strengthened to a certain extent. The most important thing was the inheritance of the Sky Fox, which added dozens of skills.

Of course, the Sky Fox inheritance records the training methods of these skills. If Xiao Liuli wants to be able to use them freely, he will need to spend time learning them.

At present, Xiao Liuli has barely learned five...

[Thousands of Changes] allows the little fox to have the ability to change itself. This is not an illusion, but a real material change.

[Heavenly Fox Questioning the Heart] is a kind of mental illusion that can attack the weaknesses of the mind and steal memories.

[Five Colors] and [Colorful Mirage] are both illusions that control the senses, but the activation methods are different. The former relies more on vision, while the latter is similar to miasma.

[Reflecting the Universe] can turn illusions into reality. If used on an enemy that has already been under an illusion, the effect will be even more outstanding.

Chapter 429: Promotion to Saint

Xiao Liuli's promotion has completed the last piece of the puzzle in Mellen's hand, and he is about to start preparing to be promoted to a saint.

During the days that Melen was guarding the Netherfire Stone Monster, the Thunder Dragon had basically recovered and came to see him according to the instructions Melen had given him before.

It can be clearly seen that the Thunder Dragon has adjusted his mentality. Although his attitude is still not very good, he is not as angry as when he was just restrained.

Melen didn't take it seriously. After giving some instructions and asking Thunder Dragon to obey Green Mist Dog's orders, Thunder Dragon was reluctant but had no choice but to accept his fate because of the Dragon Control Ring.

At this point, the basic situation on the Green Mist Dog's side has been established. Even if something unexpected happens on the Netherfire Stone Monster's side, it doesn't matter. The Thunder Dragon can naturally suppress the latter.

After explaining these things, Mellen focused all his attention on the next action.

Mellen currently has contracts with five dogs, namely Spike, Little Red Lotus, Garuru, Little Liuli, and Golden Retriever. Except for Garuru, the other four dogs have already become saints.

According to the conclusion Mellen came to before, as long as one dog is promoted to Saint, he will meet the basic requirements for promotion to the Saint stage of [Wolf Tamer]. The more dogs are promoted to Saint, Mellen can save a lot of time in the Saint stage.

Although Melen has done many rehearsals and prepared various plans for the promotion to Saint based on the extraordinary knowledge he has learned so far, it will take a real try to know whether it can be completed smoothly.

When promoted, Melen will be in the weakest state, so the location he chooses should be as safe as possible. The current poisonous cloud area is the best choice, which is one of the reasons why Melen wants to build a base.

After arranging everything, Melen came to a place in the poisonous cloud area. The Green Mist Dog had already cleared out the poisonous life in this area in advance.

After Mellen made some arrangements, he began to work on his career advancement.

It took Melen half a day to carve a huge pentagram array. The pentagram can serve as an energy connection channel and reduce the loss during energy transmission.

To be honest, the Wolf Tamer's contract itself has the function of transmitting information, spirit, energy, etc., and it is the top-level one. The pentagram array is somewhat redundant.

But for Mellen, even if it can only play a thousandth of the role, it is worth his extra effort.

Melen also prepared several arrangements similar to the pentagram array to assist in promotion, and it took about four days to complete them.

After the preliminary work was prepared, Melen spent another day adjusting his state, and then started the promotion ceremony without hesitation.

It is called a ritual, but in fact it is to complete the baptism of oneself with the help of the rule links of the saint dogs.

At this time, Melen was sitting cross-legged in the center of the pentagram formation, and the five dogs were located at the five corners.

As Melen activated the core structure representing the Wolf Tamer within his mind, the contractual connection between him and the dogs instantly grew stronger, and the puppies' shadows lit up one after another...

A raging golden flame burned on Spike's body, which was the immortal fighting spirit. A long river of fighting spirit appeared in the sky, in which all the battles in the starry universe from ancient times to the present were performed. It was the passion and blood, and it was an eternal monument.

A blood-colored mist floated around the little red lotus, rising into the sky like a wolf smoke, forming a sea of blood above the sky. In the blood, its shape seemed to have changed drastically, and the hazy shadow reflected a terrifying figure. It was an extreme "evil" formed by the extreme restraint of flesh and blood life.

Little Liuli shook its tail slightly, and the area around it suddenly became hazy and dreamy, as if to pull reality into a beautiful dream. Colorful bubbles gathered in the sky, and each bubble was filled with images that were neither real nor illusory.

The golden hair's black and white light overlapped, turning into a hazy gray, silently permeating this world, as if the background color of the entire world had turned gray, and any matter and energy would be completely dissolved by this world.

Garuru looked at the four-layered celestial phenomenon formed by the release of power by its four companions, its eyes full of envy and loss. It felt that it was because of itself that the master's promotion could not be completed this time.

But soon, the mechanical dog cheered up from its depressed mood. It tried its best to muster up strength. Even if the effect was small, it wanted to do its part for its master.

Sensing Garuru's mood, Melen smiled slightly.

Which of Mellen's dogs had the most miserable life before meeting him?

It's not Spike who has been abused since childhood; it's not Xiao Honglian who has been an alien since birth, excluded by the world and will bring misfortune to those around her; it's not Golden Retriever who is excluded by his tribe because of his ancestral bloodline; and it's not Xiao Liuli who is carefree from beginning to end and seems to be the destined protagonist.

But, it’s the mechanical dog Garuru!

Pinocchio initially created the mechanical dog by chance, and then the mechanical dog created itself, which was nothing short of a miracle.
