Starting with Crimson

Li Qingyu tiptoed from the sofa to the window, pressed himself against the glass, and cautiously peered outside. This time, Li Qingyu finally saw...

Who is it that keeps knocking on my window...?

Under the faint starlight.

Creatures resembling scorpions but larger than dogs are circling the pineapple castle, brandishing their pincers and trying to tear open its pineapple skin...

[Race: Sand Scorpion]

[Bloodline Level: Common Mature Stage]

[Talent Skills: Sandstorm, Burrowing, Scorpion Venom.]

[Crimson: Don't worry... It's just a little cannon fodder. Let the little puppy go and have a good time. A mature simp has the courage to take on many...]

Of course, there are cannon fodder... but there will definitely be bosses too. If you get the chance, little brother, you can try taking on a boss for fun...

call...

Upon hearing this...

Li Qingyu was relieved; they were just cannon fodder.

Li Qingyu had been genuinely worried... worried that this was a world where commanders were everywhere and generals were less valuable than dogs.

"It's up to you now."

Relieved, Li Qingyu silently turned to look at Erha.

The husky's three heads also gathered around Li Qingyu, peeking out the window through the glass. After looking at the giant scorpion waving its pincers, the husky turned to look at Li Qingyu with an innocent and naive expression.

"You coward, you're a War General! You're two levels higher than him!!"

The husky's three heads swayed in unison from side to side, looking like three large persimmons squeezed together.

"Waaaaah... Awooo..."

Damn... what a coward!

"Don't worry, I'll make you bigger, thick and big!"

Li Qingyu suddenly remembered the Beast King's Heart's ability to grow to enormous size, which he hadn't tried yet and didn't know how big it could become.

"Woof woof woof!!"

"Don't worry, I'm not lying to you. I'll use it as soon as you leave. It's a live stream, can't you be a little more serious?"

"Woof!"

........

China's official live broadcast room.

Yanjing City Live Broadcast Room.

Contrary to Li Qingyu's expectations, not many people were watching his live stream at this time; most of the people in China who watch live streams had come here.

On the live stream screen.

Colonel Chu stood expressionless in a dark underground cave, his hands in his pockets. Beside him crouched his large dog, Huahua, its head tilted to the side, a large bone from an unknown creature dangling from its mouth.

At this moment, in front of Colonel Chu was a huge snake-shaped corpse.

The terrifying snake's mouth was tilted back, open at a 180-degree angle, its rough, sandy-yellow body coiled up, its eyes unfocused and lifeless.

Inside the snake corpse's mouth, which was split into a line.

A small, verdant sapling was slowly glowing. The emerald light flowed gently across the snake's corpse, illuminating the man and dog inside the cave...

Lush green...

If you look closely, you'll find that what appears to be green light is actually tiny, tender blades of grass spreading and growing rapidly on the snake's body.

"Chu University's president is awesome!"

"Colonel Chu is awesome!!"

"There's definitely a reason why the country selected Colonel Chu as a seed player!"

"Wow, this snake is huge! It just snapped its mouth open like that!"

"Hahaha... The pro is carrying us..."

The live stream chat was flooded with comments.

Everyone was quite worried about what would happen if they lost the competition, and what kind of punishment Blue Star would receive.

Colonel Chu immediately overwhelmed the other civilizations, instantly boosting everyone's confidence.

Meanwhile, on the Oasis leaderboard, Chu Xuan was still the only one listed. This demonstrates the difficulty of obtaining the Spirit of Nature and creating an Oasis.

........

Finally, Li Qingyu persuaded the husky.

Amidst knocking from all directions... Li Qingyu and Erha tiptoed to the large iron gate.

"As soon as I open the door, you attack with all your might, understand?"

"Woof! Woof! Woof!" The husky nodded its head.

"That's good. Are you ready?"

"Woof!!"

"The countdown is on! Three...two...one!"

The countdown ended, and Li Qingyu yanked open the iron gate. "Use, Roar of Flames!!"

boom!!!

Suddenly, three flames as thick as thighs shot out of the husky's mouth with a deafening roar. The sand scorpions that were frantically digging at the pineapple castle in front of the door were charred black by the three flames before they could even react.

In a short time.

The air outside the pineapple burger was filled with the aroma of roasted meat.

As for the other sand scorpions surrounding Pineapple Castle, they quickly attacked upon seeing the firelight at the entrance of Pineapple Castle, showing no fear whatsoever.

The husky, seeing that the sand scorpion at the door was cooked as soon as it spat it out, instantly lost its fear and swaggered outside, its three heads bobbing confidently.

*Smack!*

Seeing that Erha had gone out, Li Qingyu immediately closed the door to Pineapple Castle. It was best for his fragile body to be cautious; staying safely inside Pineapple Castle was the safest option.

Through the living room window, Li Qingyu saw that the husky was already wreaking havoc among the sand scorpions.

Yes, rampant!

At this moment, the husky activated its innate skill, "Body of the Fire God," engulfing the entire dog in raging flames. Any sand scorpions that got close to the husky would be cooked to a crisp.

Watching the husky's three heads being played with by biting and chewing on the sand scorpions, completely ignoring their resistance.

Li Qingyu was somewhat stunned.

Holy crap... Are general-level warriors this powerful?

During the growth stage, beating the normal level is like cutting vegetables?

At this moment, the sand scorpions that were besieging Pineapple Castle had all emerged from the sand and rushed to attack the husky. Even though they were roasted to a crisp by the flames, they still pounced on the husky, showing no fear of death.

Before long, more and more sand scorpions were hanging on the husky, almost completely engulfing it.

Seeing that something was wrong, Li Qingyu quickly activated the Beast King's Heart's gigantification ability in his mind.

Heart of the Beastmaster

[Grade: A]

You will connect with your pet on a deeper level.

[Activating this talent will cause your pet to grow to a gigantic size.]

[When a pet reaches its gigantic state, its strength, defense, and skill power will double as its size increases. However, its stamina will also be consumed at double the rate.]

The moment he unleashed his enormous size, Li Qingyu felt his heart begin to beat faster.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The husky's three heads suddenly roared to the sky, and its body rapidly grew larger.

Get bigger!

Get bigger!!

It's getting bigger and bigger!!!

The husky only stopped growing when it reached a height similar to that of a pineapple castle.

At that moment, the flames on the husky surged and ignited the sand dunes for miles around.

Looking at this, Li Qingyu felt reassured.

Use it, Roar of Flames!

boom!!!

In an instant, three giant pillars of fire, thicker than Li Qingyu, plowed through the sandy land surrounding Pineapple Castle.

Li Qingyu's heart skipped a beat upon seeing this.

Oh my god... I hope he doesn't overcook the pineapple burger, or he'll lose a lot of money.

After the giant pillar of fire finished its sweep, the husky, in its gigantic state, looked around and saw a pile of charred corpses emitting bursts of heat on the surrounding sand; there was not a single living creature.

Seeing that there was no danger outside, Li Qingyu, inside Pineapple Castle, quickly released the Beast King's Heart.

Soon, Li Qingyu felt his rapidly beating heart gradually return to normal.

The husky in front of them quickly shrank and soon returned to its original size.

The husky shook its body, its three heads looking around in surprise. It seemed unable to believe that such a fierce attack had come from its own vomit.

Li Qingyu reopened the gates of Pineapple Castle.

Instantly, a nauseating smell of burning filled the air. Looking at the mess outside, Li Qingyu stretched out his bare foot and tentatively stepped on the sand.

"hiss..."

Li Qingyu quickly withdrew his foot, feeling the heat.

It's so damn hot... it burned all the hair off my feet... Forget it, I'd better not go out for now.

After calling the husky back to Pineapple Castle, Li Qingyu lay down on the sofa again.

After the battle ended, Li Qingyu's first thought was...

So fierce!

This Beast King's Heart... it can actually make a pet this big? What if I were leading an elephant?

That kick... wow... I can't even imagine it...

My second impression was...

Pineapple Castle is truly amazing; it lives up to its name as a deep-sea fortress. Even with so many sand scorpions, it couldn't be breached. And with that terrifying flamethrower, he didn't even feel much of a temperature change inside Pineapple Castle.

Looks like I can finally sleep peacefully now. The sleep I had just slept... wasn't enough at all.

Thinking about going to sleep, Li Qingyu casually opened the task panel.
