The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 270 Training the Lion
"Do you still recognize me?"

Lin Nan tentatively spoke, but her voice was drowned out by the surging lava explosions all around.

The Kruger lion has gripped the ground on all fours, displaying an aggressive posture.

As the kings of the grasslands, the lions possess a strong sense of territory, which is not diminished even in their spiritual form. On the contrary, it is amplified infinitely in this world dominated by frenzied emotions.

Lin Nan stood still, not daring to move, and tentatively released her spiritual threads, letting it smell her scent first. They had a connection, so even if it was not fully conscious, it should still be familiar with her.

However, things did not develop in the direction Lin Nan had expected. Her spiritual thread had just reached the lion's nose when the beast seemed to be even more stimulated and suddenly pounced on Lin Nan.

Its entire body was engulfed in flames, and being scratched by it would be no joke. Fortunately, this was a spiritual world, and the guide could control everything here. Lin Nan reacted quickly and floated into the air.

Kruger Lion missed its target, but it did not stop its attack. After landing, it quickly turned around, its dark red eyes fixed on Lin Nan in mid-air, and let out a more rapid growl.

The next second, it pushed off the ground with its hind legs and leaped up like an arrow. The flames around it burned even brighter as it jumped, and its size seemed to grow even larger in an instant. With an unstoppable force, it pounced on Lin Nan in the air once again.

Lin Nan carefully channeled her mental energy, shifting her body to the side. The lion's claws, wreathed in flames, grazed the hem of her clothes, the scorching heat making her skin tingle slightly, and even leaving a small scorch mark on the hem of her clothes from the sparks.

It's so dangerous!

She thought to herself with lingering fear.

In actual combat, she was no match for these sentries. If they were to fight her to the death, she would have absolutely no chance of winning.

She'll be torn to pieces by that beast!

As Lin Nan pondered, she carefully dodged the attacks of the Kruger Lion. The raging flames, like countless starflowers, crackled and swirled around her. She retreated step by step until she was forced close to the foot of the volcano.

The sight of scorching lava made her dare not make any further moves.

"Roar!" A deafening roar echoed in the picture world as the lion blocked the only escape route, staring menacingly at her.

Really careless.

This guy is too cunning. Even though his consciousness is overwhelmed by frenzy, the hunting instincts of the king of the grasslands remain sharp.

Lin Nan frowned slightly, somewhat annoyed, the green light at her fingertips flickering slightly due to her emotional fluctuations.

In the past, both Caesar and this lion had been obedient in her presence. But now, the lion not only launched a fierce attack on her but also deliberately set a trap to block her retreat. Its imposing manner overwhelmed her, and this dominance made her feel offended.

Unwilling to continue playing with it, Lin Nan summoned her spiritual tree. The enormous creature rose from the ground, bringing with it a moist breeze, and appeared behind her.

Kruger Lion stared at the suddenly appearing tree, its roar becoming more rapid. The flames around its body seemed to be stimulated, instantly standing up like needles. It lowered its body slightly, attempting to retreat.

But how could Lin Nan let it escape so easily? With a flick of her finger, the massive tree, possessing immense strength, slammed down heavily on the lion's body.

With a deafening roar, the ground trembled violently, sending up a shower of debris and sparks.

As the flames died down and the beasts howled, the standoff came to an end.

Lin Nan controlled his body to land, and the tangled roots parted slightly, revealing the prey that had been controlled inside. The Kruger Lion, no longer enveloped in flames, finally revealed its true form. Its golden mane was disheveled, covered with charred debris and small wounds. The once fluffy fur was tangled together, revealing scratches of varying depths beneath, some of which were still faintly bleeding.

It already had very little energy left, and the reason it covered its entire body in flames was simply to prevent its opponent from seeing its weakness.

Seeing that it was captured and could not escape, and that the "enemy" was getting closer and closer, the beast stared at its bloodthirsty eyes, baring its teeth with a frenzied and unruly expression.

What a stubborn fellow, still restless even with such serious injuries.

Lin Nan sighed helplessly and with heartache, then raised her hand and slapped it hard!

"Snapped!"

"Well!"

The beast's howl and the sound of a slap rang out at the same time. Kruger Lion probably did not expect her to do such a thing. Her huge body trembled violently, her taut muscles stiffened, and even her originally bloodthirsty eyes became much clearer after being slapped.

"Do you see who I am now?"

Lin Nan coldly questioned it.

"Ouch——"

The lion cried pitifully and finally lowered its head.

Lin Nan squatted down in front of it and tentatively placed her hand in front of its nose again. The Kruger Lion sniffed, and this time it did not bare its teeth, but obediently placed its chin in Lin Nan's palm.

The ferocious big cat stared at Lin Nan with its wet eyes, its pitiful yet adorable appearance almost driving Lin Nan crazy.

"Be good, I'll give you some deep guidance now."

Lin Nan smiled and gently tickled the ticklish spot on its chin, then enveloped it in a gentle green light.

Kaiser's mental body is always very sensitive. She needs to be extremely careful to guide it, otherwise it will lose control of its mental state if she is not careful.

The big cat loved being touched, so Lin Nan attached her spiritual power to her palm and gently soothed all its wounds, starting from the top.

The big cat comfortably closed its eyes, its tense body completely relaxing, and began to purr softly in its throat. If its body hadn't been suppressed by the big tree, it probably would have already rolled over on its back by now.

While enjoying the caresses, it raised its head and licked the girl's calves that were so close to it.

Because she was wearing Granville's standard uniform, with a dark knee-length skirt on her lower body, the fabric was crisp but not heavy.

Suddenly, a corner of her skirt was gently lifted, and a warm, furry touch brushed against her calf. Lin Nan was startled and was about to look down when she felt a huge head sticking straight in and firmly pressed against her leg.

"You little rascal..." Lin Nan was both angry and amused. She reached out to push it away, but her fingertips had just touched the fluffy mane when she was stopped by a sticky, hot breath.

Kruger Lion clearly had no intention of moving away. Instead, it rubbed its head against the back of her legs again. Even through the thin stockings, she could clearly feel the scorching heat, as well as the continuous "gurgling" sound from its throat, which made Lin Nan's calves go slightly numb.
