Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel.

Chapter 522 Persuasion
Faced with the Ice Horned Dragon Lizard's questioning, the Crimson Crystal Dragon Isaac, as Ye Mo had instructed, directly stated his purpose.

To surrender or to fall.

Faced with this blatant threat, the Ice Horned Dragon Lizard was furious and did not surrender immediately despite being suppressed in territory.

Even if the opponent is powerful and has a dragon descendant with dragon blood, how could it possibly surrender because of mere words when it has broken through to the fifth rank?

Especially considering that the four opponents were only at the fourth level, even though the power they displayed was indeed terrifying, it was far from enough to make them submit.

"You think you can make me submit?" After the Icehorn Dragon Lizard roared angrily, its thick and powerful limbs moved slightly, and the entire earth instantly turned into an ice field. Under the onslaught of thousands of frosts, the grass and trees were frozen, and life was extinguished.

Giving such an answer naturally stemmed from its prior confidence. As a sub-dragon species, even though it didn't possess the innate inheritance of a true dragon, its intelligence was quite high, and through years of survival and combat, its ability to discern strength was exceptional.

Its previous show of weakness was merely out of fear of being severely injured or having the place destroyed. After all, the magical beasts surrounding it all possessed formidable domains and considerable strength. If a real fight broke out, it could easily be seriously injured.

But it was only injured. As an existence that had luckily broken through from the fourth rank to the fifth rank, it was extremely clear about the power of the fifth rank. Just like the control over the power of heaven and earth that it gained after breaking through to the fifth rank, with the help of its domain, its endurance became extremely terrifying, and its energy seemed to be inexhaustible.

Given this situation, coupled with its powerful physique as a sub-dragon, it can escape even if it can't win.

Moreover, it has a trump card. Even if its domain is suppressed, once it uses its trump card, it will surely be able to intimidate them in one fell swoop.

After thinking it over, the confident Ice Horned Dragon Lizard raised its head, and a flashing blue light burst forth from its open mouth. At the same time, within its domain, cold light condensed, and endless ice elements continuously solidified into sharp ice spikes.

The next moment, as a burst of frosty breath erupted, thousands of ice spikes that had been condensed shot into the sky like a torrential rain.

Boom boom boom!
Watching the lightning and ice spikes collide in the sky, the Ice Horned Dragon Lizard on the ground raised its head, its eyes arrogant. As a fifth-tier sub-dragon, expecting it to submit was simply a pipe dream. They were merely a group of fourth-tier beings with slightly stronger domains; how dare they threaten it? They were utterly ignorant.

Today it will show these fourth-tier magical beasts that even if it can't win, it can still teach them a lesson before leaving, and let them know what a fifth-tier beast is.

…………

A few hours later.

On the south side of the center of the icy desert island, the once tranquil and beautiful lake scenery has now been shattered by fierce fighting. The lush trees and flowers have long been reduced to dust by lightning and frost, dissipating into the air. The earth has been scarred by the battle, with several deep ravines and pits forming. Even the lake not far away has been partially destroyed, and its once clear waters have become murky.

Boom!
In the sky, a blue figure suddenly crashed to the ground, causing a violent tremor. The powerful impact stirred up dust waves that covered the already shattered ground.

sizzle-

The sound of lightning crackling came from high above. The simpleton who controlled the thunder was like a god of judgment, his cold gaze looking down at the ground. With the enhancement of his domain, thousands of bolts of lightning condensed into hundreds of roaring thunder pythons, fiercely staring at the target that had fallen to the ground.

In the other three directions surrounding the lake, the Crimson Crystal Dragon Isaac, standing in the northwest, had flames burning on its body, and scorching breath spewed from its mouth and nostrils. Within its blood-red maw, a King-level [Crystal Flame Dragon Breath] was being nurtured, ready to be released at any moment.

Located in the southeast, the Lightwing White Tiger Bai Ling is riding a flying sword. With the blessing of the domain, the thousands of flying swords, which are endowed with the power of light elements, hang in the sky with a sharp aura, like arrows drawn taut on a bowstring, ready to unleash a spectacle of ten thousand swords at a moment's notice.

Finally, there was Little Willow, located due west. Her true form, the Blood Moon Willow Demon Tree, had already been summoned and taken root in the earth. A phantom blood moon hung atop the tree, and beside her was a hundred-meter-long blood mist whale, emitting a terrifying roar.

"I surrender, I admit defeat, I give up."

Just as Hanhan, Isaac, and the others were about to unleash their pent-up energy, the Ice Horned Dragon Lizard, its scales shattered and blood flowing freely from its wounds, finally bowed its head in the face of death in the newly appeared crater on the ground.

As its words of surrender spread out along with its spiritual power, Hanhan and the others also withdrew their power accordingly. However, the domain was still activated, and the suppression of it by the five major domains continued.

"Surrender? You really want to surrender? Why don't we fight some more? You're a Saint-level being, it would be too shameful to just admit defeat like this." The Crimson Crystal Dragon Isaac's eyes gleamed, his fighting spirit ignited, he hadn't had enough yet.

It's such a shame to end things like this when we finally have a tough opponent who's also very strong.

Not far away, Bai Ling, who was flying in the air, also nodded and, together with Isaac, tried to persuade the Ice Horned Dragon Lizard. She had just gotten into the fight and it couldn't end like this.

Hanhan and Xiaoliu remained silent, but their eyes were still fixed on the Icehorn Dragon Lizard, not relaxing for a moment. Although the lizard had surrendered and given up resistance, who knew if it was a trap? They were always very wary of this, as they always obeyed their Master.

"No, I'm not fighting anymore. I surrender, I'm willing to submit." After dispelling its domain, the Ice Horned Dragon Lizard shook its head repeatedly, its eyes filled with fear.

Before the fight, it thought that as a fifth-tier being with extraordinary strength, even if it couldn't win, running away would be a piece of cake. But once the fight started, things turned out to be completely different from what it had imagined.

First, there was the giant dragon and the white tiger. Although they were only fourth-tier, their physical bodies were incredibly strong, no weaker than fifth-tier magical beasts, and they could even clash head-on with it. As for the giant dragon's defense, when it was outnumbered, its hasty attacks were practically just tickling its opponent.

And then there's that white tiger. It's clearly a magical beast, yet it wields weapons commonly used by humans. And those weapons are extremely terrifying; breaking its scales is as easy as cutting down trees, forcing it to divert some of its attention to those weapons.

Then there was that sprite-like creature. Her strength was average, but as a fourth-tier being, she actually possessed a fifth-tier puppet, giving her absolutely no chance of breaking through.

Finally, and most outrageously, was the giant bear-like monster in the sky. Although it knew that its opponent possessed such a level of domain, its strength must be extraordinary, it never expected its strength to be so terrifying. It could be said that even if it were to fight its opponent one-on-one, it didn't think it would have a chance of winning.

Therefore, how could it possibly be a match for so many powerful opponents? Let alone escape, it's already quite remarkable that it has managed to survive.

Looking at the Ice Horned Dragon Lizard that had been completely defeated, Isaac and Bai Ling exchanged a glance and sighed in regret. It was such a hard-won opponent, but it turned out to be so weak.

Above the sky, beside Hanhan, as the formation dissipated, Ye Mo, who had been brought here by Bai You, revealed himself. Since the target was willing to submit, he could naturally come out as well.

On the ground, the Icehorn Dragon Lizard's pupils constricted slightly as it looked at the suddenly appearing humans, a puzzled expression on its face. However, it didn't care to think about it further; all it wanted now was to surrender and survive.

"You say you're willing to submit. Since that's the case, then sign this contract. If you can successfully sign this contract, then we will acknowledge your submission."

The cold words fell from the sky. Ye Mo remained expressionless, waved his hand, and as white light flashed, a transaction contract condensed from the void.

It took a lot of time to draft and revise the terms of this transaction agreement.

Anyway, he was just a bystander in the previous battles. Although the Ice Horned Dragon Lizard was quite strong, it wasn't strong enough to warrant him using the Beast Taming Skill Star Chart Awakening. Therefore, it was appropriate to use that free time to think more about the terms of the transaction contract.

Inside a crater on the ground, the Ice Horned Dragon Lizard, panting heavily as its wounds healed, raised its head. Looking blankly at the trading contract, it subconsciously probed it with its mental energy, and the contract's abilities and terms immediately surfaced in its mind.

Almost simultaneously, having grasped the power of the trading contract, the Icehorn Dragon Lizard looked at the human in the sky with deep fear in its eyes. A trading contract—such a terrifying thing existed.

Under normal circumstances, even if it were willing to submit, it would not be willing to sign that transaction contract, since that contract restricts its freedom, and once signed, there would be no room for repentance.

But the situation is no longer something it can refuse; to survive, it must sign that contract.

With a flicker of his eyes, just as the Icehorn Dragon Lizard was lost in thought, Ye Mo in the sky suddenly gave Isaac a wink in the distance.

Upon seeing this, Isaac was slightly taken aback at first, then nodded in understanding. As Ye Mo's spirit pet, he was naturally very clear about the abilities and functions of the trading contract. In fact, he had signed one himself before he became Ye Mo's spirit pet.

Therefore, he understood that for a transaction contract to be successfully signed, the parties must genuinely agree and be willing to sign it. A contract cannot be successfully signed under duress, hypnosis, or control.

Therefore, in times like these, he is needed to help.

Having made up his mind, Isaac descended from the sky and flew towards the giant crater, eventually standing next to the Icehorn Dragon Lizard.

Upon seeing Isaac's arrival, the Icehorn Dragon Lizard assumed that the other party was dissatisfied with the fact that it had not yet signed a contract. Just as it was about to say that it was willing to sign a contract, Isaac's words had already fallen.

“I know you still have some hesitation, after all, once this contract is signed, there is no room for reversal. But you must understand that the binding force of a contract is two-way. If you really sign the contract, then you will be our trusted subordinate.”

"You don't need to decide whether to sign the contract now. You can wait until I finish explaining. After I tell you all the benefits of joining us, you'll definitely be willing to join us."

"Otherwise, don't you think about it? I am a pure-blooded dragon. If there is no reason, why would I stay with them?"

"..."

The lake returned to its previous tranquility. As Isaac used himself as an example to explain the benefits of joining them, the huge wall of hesitation in the Icehorn Dragon Lizard's heart was gradually worn away, and the scales in his heart tilted to one side.

It was willing to submit from the start, but it had some resistance to the contract. But now it seems that signing the contract is actually better, since with the help of the contract, the other party can completely trust it, and it can naturally become a core member of the other party, which will definitely bring many benefits.

Moreover, the opponent's power is indeed extraordinary, with hundreds of fourth-level subordinates and more than one fifth-level subordinate, and even has the background of a legendary powerhouse.

In this situation, it seems that joining the other party is still a win for it.

After all, although it is the ruler of this island, it doesn't even have a single subordinate. It's only because it's powerful enough that it can survive; otherwise, its life would be much more miserable.

As an extraordinary being, how could a lone individual compare to joining a powerful force? And right before it was an excellent opportunity; even a pure-blooded dragon was one of them, so what reason did it have to refuse?

With this in mind, and after listening to Isaac's constant persuasion, the Icehorn Dragon Lizard raised its head and said eagerly, "I'm willing to join. I'll sign the contract right away."

Seemingly fearing that the other party would rescind the contract, its soul stirred slightly, and a burst of spiritual power was released instantly. A moment later, the transaction contract split in two, turning into two beams of light that fell into the bodies of Ye Mo and the Ice Horned Dragon Lizard.

The contract was successfully signed.

Upon sensing the formation of the contract, Ye Mo's lips curled up slightly, and his mood instantly improved.

Isaac's previous actions were deliberately arranged by him. Although the signing of a transaction contract cannot be achieved solely through threats, control, or even hypnosis, it can still be done through persuasive techniques.

As Isaac just said, everything he said is true. For example, becoming his confidant is natural; those who can sign contracts are all his trusted subordinates.

And the fact that he has a legendary expert behind him is also fine. He is a student of the Magic City Academy and a disciple of Vice Principal Chu Dehou. To him, isn't that Magic City Principal, who is a legendary beast tamer, his backer?

After all, if he really wanted it, given his status, there was a good chance he could get the principal to help him.

Looking at the excited Ice Horned Dragon Lizard on the ground, Ye Mo smiled inwardly. In any case, having another fifth-tier magical beast subordinate would be of great help to him.

Although fifth-tier magical beasts cannot be brought to the interdimensional war, they can still play a significant role, whether they are assigned to the Pioneer Merchant Guild or used as henchmen in subsequent plans.

Even if you throw it into the Qingxue Mountain Range, it can still scout out the surrounding area. A fifth-tier magical beast is much more useful than those third- or fourth-tier monsters.
