Shao Xuan didn't know if the pterosaur was so small because it was still in its infancy, or if it was the size of an adult. He didn't know the answer yet.
As its body warmed up, its blood flowed, and its heart beat strongly, the pterosaur, which was placed on the stone table, finally opened its eyes after spreading its wings.
As a reptilian beast, its eyes looked sharp and murderous, but they weren't as cold as those of a snake or crocodile.
As soon as it opened its eyes, it seemed to be in a daze, unable to adapt to its current situation.
After being frozen for so long, its brain couldn't work properly.
After a while, Shao Xuan saw the pterosaur on the table turn its head and look at him. It seemed to be frightened and wanted to retreat, but after struggling for a while, it fell down again.
Although its body began to move slowly after thawing, it was still far from being able to move freely.
Since it couldn't move, it could only open its mouth and roar threateningly. Shao Xuan noticed that there were some sharp teeth in its mouth. Some pterosaurs had teeth, while others didn't. The one in front of him now belonged to the former, and it looked a little fierce.
Shao Xuan observed the changes in its body. The pterosaur's body temperature was rising, but it was different from other reptiles. It was more like a bird, and its body temperature stopped rising after a certain range.
Its organs began to move, and it knew how to be vigilant and threaten people. Its brain also began to have self-awareness. At this time, it truly came back to life from its frozen state.
Contrary to Shao Xuan's expectations, Shao Xuan originally wanted to use it to test out how to control bones. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.
However, it wasn't too bad. After all, this was a creature that lived a long time ago. Shao Xuan was very curious about it, and he was also very interested in the era it originally lived in. Since there was such an existence, did it mean that there were more ancient beasts that existed in some unknown place in this world?
Other than some small ventilation holes, there were no gaps large enough for it to escape. Therefore, Shao Xuan was not worried that it would escape. Besides, it had just recovered, and its body's skills had not yet returned to normal. It would be difficult for it to get up, so there was no need to worry.
Leaving it to struggle, Shao Xuan walked to the other side of the table and looked at the recently slaughtered Gomphos.
Compared to the half-rotten one, Shao Xuan decided to try this one first.
Just as he was about to attack, Shao Xuan suddenly felt a strong gaze on him. He turned his head and saw the pterosaur, who had been trying to flip itself over, staring at him. To be more precise, the pterosaur was staring at his Gomphos.
"Hungry?"
After being frozen for so long, it wasn't strange for it to be hungry. If it wanted to recover quickly, eating was indeed a way to recover. It was also one of the instincts of wild beasts.
Shao Xuan used his knife to cut off a piece of meat from the Gomphos and handed it to the pterosaur, who was struggling to flip itself over on the table.
When Shao Xuan approached, the pterosaur cautiously took a step back. It almost lost its balance and fell down again. Its forelimbs were highly degraded. Its fourth finger had become a wing finger, and its wings were no longer flexible.
However, hunger still forced it to accept the food in front of it. The pterosaur quickly bit down on the piece of meat in Shao Xuan's hand. It opened its mouth twice and swallowed it. The next moment, it raised its head and bit down on Shao Xuan's hand. It didn't look like it was joking. Its teeth looked like it was going to bite Shao Xuan's finger and leave a few bloody holes.
However, just as it was about to bite Shao Xuan's finger, it stopped abruptly.
It didn't want to stop, but it had no choice. At this moment, it had no control over its body.
"Get down."
As soon as Shao Xuan's voice fell, the pterosaur, which had already stood up, involuntarily fell back onto the table. It spread its wings and extended its two hind limbs. Its entire body was pressed against the stone table.
"Gah —"
A sharp sound rang out in the secret underground room.
This was the pterosaur's terrified cry as it was forced to lie down. No one would be able to remain calm when they couldn't control their own body, let alone an ancient beast that was extremely cautious of its surroundings.
Shao Xuan glanced at the pterosaur, who was lying on the stone table, and then looked away.
It could be said that this was a special method of enslavement. The only difference was that compared to normal enslavement, this method was more suitable for humans or animals who had lost their own consciousness. This was because this method was equivalent to taking over the body. The pterosaur had full control over the body, and not the body's owner.
Therefore, enslavement would be much smoother when the body had lost its consciousness. The success rate would also be higher. Furthermore, after enslavement, the pterosaur would be able to completely control the slave and would not have to worry about betrayal.
Normal enslavement wouldn't allow the pterosaur to completely control the slave. For example, Shao Xuan could sense Sapphire's position and the general condition of its body. He could also influence the power in Sapphire's body. After all, that power was given by Shao Xuan during the enslavement. However, this pterosaur was different. Although the pterosaur was able to stand up again because of Shao Xuan's power, the power had been directly integrated into every bone in its body. Shao Xuan could control every bone in the pterosaur's body. This was also why Shao Xuan didn't tie it up and allowed it to move freely on the table.
No matter what the pterosaur wanted to do, Shao Xuan could stop it at any time. He could even break its bones without touching it.
However, compared to normal enslavement, this special enslavement method required more and purer power.
The pterosaur that was forced to lie on the stone table screamed for a while before its attention was drawn to the Gomphos that had just been killed. It looked at the Gomphos that still reeked of blood, then looked at Shao Xuan cautiously. Then, it looked back at the Gomphos.
Shao Xuan ignored it. He continued to use the same method on the dead Gomphos that had lost its consciousness.
Shao Xuan didn't remove its organs. He was just trying it out. He didn't plan on using it for a long time, so he didn't do anything else.
Since the Gomphos hadn't been dead for too long, its bones were still quite active. It also didn't have any consciousness, so Shao Xuan's enslavement went smoothly.
The pterosaur had been staring at the Gomphos, thinking about how to eat it. However, when flames suddenly appeared in Shao Xuan's hands, the pterosaur let out a sharp cry. Its voice was filled with infinite panic and fear. It was far more terrified than when it was being controlled.
Shao Xuan frowned, but he didn't stop what he was doing. He ignored the pterosaur's screams.
The Gomphos that had already lost its life force was rapidly changing. This change wasn't on the outside, but on the inside.
Whoosh!
The dead Gomphos' stiff body suddenly became flexible. It flipped over and stood up. When it moved, Shao Xuan could even hear the sound of its stiff muscles being forcefully moved.
