"Rumble!"
A large cloud of lava rose from the volcano along with thick smoke. Lin Zhen watched from the side as he gently flapped his Lightning Wings. His body hovered in the air as he activated his mental power barrier.
He had already observed four or five eruptions and discovered that the volcano would erupt violently once every two hours before gradually weakening.
After calculating the time, Lin Zhen felt that the volcano's power was gradually weakening. He flapped his Lightning Wings and rushed down through the thick smoke.
He didn't dare to let the Lightning Wings accelerate too much. It would be disastrous if he suddenly rushed into the lava.
After entering the volcano, an unimaginably hot wave of heat assaulted his face. The consumption of his mental power suddenly increased.
However, Lin Zhen's mental power was at the peak of late Dark Gold rank. He could still withstand this heat wave for five minutes.
The fiery red lava below was surging like a bottomless abyss that swallowed everything.
He looked around and found that his surroundings were like a round barrel. He couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. Could the Galactic Beast be hiding in the depths of the lava? If that was the case, Lin Zhen really couldn't find it.
No! It definitely couldn't be at the bottom of the lava. It must be hiding somewhere.
Flapping his Lightning Wings, Lin Zhen began to descend from the volcano's crater. He gradually approached the lava area.
The lower he went, the more unbearable the heat became. Lin Zhen's mental power was further consumed. If it weren't for the protective barrier, he would definitely have burned up.
The distance between the volcano's crater and the lava was about 1,500 meters. After descending to a depth of about 1,000 meters, Lin Zhen stopped when he was less than 500 meters away from the boiling lava.
Approaching the volcano's mountain wall, Lin Zhen began to fly along the mountain wall.
Relying on his speed of 1,000 meters per second, Lin Zhen didn't discover anything after descending for 50 meters.
He took a deep breath and descended another 30 meters, but he still didn't find anything.
The scorching heat wave assaulted him. Lin Zhen felt that his mental power was a bit strained. He flapped his Lightning Wings and flew out of the volcano.
He circulated his energy outside to recover his mental power. When the volcano erupted again, Lin Zhen once again dove into the volcano and continued his exploration.
Previously, he had explored to a depth of 1,080 meters. This time, Lin Zhen descended to 1,150 meters. After finding nothing, he flew up again.
On his third attempt, Lin Zhen explored to 1,220 meters.
On his fourth attempt, 1,300 meters.
On his fifth attempt, 1,350 meters.
By the sixth time, Lin Zhen had reached 1,400 meters, he finally made a discovery.
About 50 meters further down, almost above the magma, there was a slanted downward cave, as if a meteorite had crashed into it.
Lin Zhen's eyes lit up. If this cave was really created by a meteorite, then the Galactic Beast must be inside.
However, Lin Zhen's spiritual power was still insufficient. After he rose into the air again, he adjusted his breathing and made another preparation.
He took out the liquid metal and covered it with the cold air of the Dark Star to replace the mental power shield. Then, he dove into the volcano again.
With this layer of protection, Lin Zhen was finally able to sneak into the cave that was close to the lava.
The cave wasn't deep. After walking for about 20 meters, he almost reached the end.
But strangely, there was no lava pouring into the cave. When the volcano erupted, the lava would surge up. Logically speaking, it would pour into the cave, but he didn't know why.
Lin Zhen held the Broken Jade Spear in his hand and was fully prepared. If the galactic beast turned out to be ferocious, he would teleport away immediately.
But when he saw what was in the cave, he was completely stunned.
"What is this …?"
Inside the cave, there was something that was not much bigger than a pug lying there. It didn't seem to notice Lin Zhen's arrival at all.
Its body was covered with a layer of golden fur. There was a mane around its neck like a lion's and it was slightly wet.
It had small claws, a big mouth, and big eyes. It seemed to have double eyelids.
"A Pekingese?" Lin Zhen scratched his head. Was this a Galactic Beast? Could it be some kind of mutated creature from the volcano?
Looking left and right, Lin Zhen found a few broken eggshells on the ground. The eggshells were wrapped in rocks, proving that they had indeed come from the eggshells inside the meteorite.
Eggshells? Was this thing oviparous? Was it not a dog? How long ago was it born?
Just as Lin Zhen was thinking, the Pekingese opened its eyes.
When it saw Lin Zhen, the dog opened its eyes and bared its teeth.
Although the two rows of teeth were not big, a powerful aura came from it.
The power of a Star Realm!
A Galactic Beast!
Lin Zhen teleported out of the cave and flew into the sky.
After flying for a few hundred meters, Lin Zhen turned back, but he didn't see the dog chasing after him.
Lin Zhen wanted to escape, but he didn't want to give up. This little guy seemed to be very weak. It should have been born not long ago and hadn't eaten anything. It shouldn't be that strong.
Unwilling to give up, Lin Zhen turned back and mustered up his courage to enter the cave again.
When the dog saw Lin Zhen, it opened its eyes and snorted twice. Although Lin Zhen was a little surprised, he didn't feel any malicious intent from this little guy. He slowly approached it.
Maybe it was because of its cute appearance, Lin Zhen walked over and squatted down three meters away from it, ready to teleport at any time.
This time, he looked carefully and found that the eggshell didn't seem to have been broken for a long time. The eggshell was so red that it looked like it was burning. That was because it had absorbed too much lava energy.
Lin Zhen narrowed his eyes and analyzed it according to his knowledge.
"This Galactic Beast has been here for a thousand years, but because it hasn't been hatched by an adult beast, it can only rely on itself to hatch. In the past thousand years, only the lava of this volcano has been nourishing its eggs. It was born from the fire.
"According to the legend of the Galactic Beast, its first meal is to drink the blood of its mother. This is called inheritance. It can help it cultivate its ferocity in the future, and it can also inherit the power of its elders. However, it hasn't eaten yet and is seriously lacking in food and nutrition. Although there are some creatures that rely on fire to survive in this volcano, there are too few of them. That's why it evolved slowly. In my previous life, it only appeared after the extraterrestrial civilization took over Earth.
"It should be in its infancy now. If no one takes care of it, it can still survive, but its growth will be very slow.
"I wonder if I can try to feed it."
As soon as Lin Zhen had this idea, it couldn't help but grow crazily. Even though he had lived for so many years in his previous life, he had never thought that he would be able to own a Galactic Beast.
Once a Galactic Beast matured, it would be a monster that could easily destroy an entire civilization. People would want to avoid it, so who would want to raise it?
Lin Zhen tried to get closer, but the Galactic Beast opened its eyes again and bared its teeth. It seemed to be very unhappy with Lin Zhen.
"That's not right. This thing has just been born, so it shouldn't be aggressive. Why would it dislike me? "
After a few more attempts, Lin Zhen found the crux of the problem.
The liquid metal had a cold aura!
This cold aura was used by Lin Zhen to resist the heat. However, this Galactic Beast was born from the lava. Fire and cold aura were incompatible, so naturally, it would be unhappy with Lin Zhen.
He decisively removed the liquid metal and replaced it with a mental force shield. This time, the Galactic Beast really closed its eyes and rolled around a bit.
Looking at this little thing's shriveled stomach, Lin Zhen knew that it probably hadn't eaten yet. After hesitating for a bit, he took out a piece of crab meat from his ring and put it in front of the puppy's mouth.
"Galactic Beasts are very intelligent, almost as intelligent as a human child. It should be able to sense good and evil, so it won't attack me."
Lin Zhen muttered in his heart as he got closer and closer.
When Lin Zhen put the crab meat in front of the puppy's mouth, the little thing suddenly opened its mouth and bit on Lin Zhen's finger!
A sharp pain came from his finger. Lin Zhen didn't pull his finger back and let the puppy suck on it.
"First blood! Just like the legends, the Galactic Beast's first meal is blood. But will my blood be enough? "
Lin Zhen was now an advanced level wargod, so his blood was a hundred times denser than a normal person. The puppy should be able to survive by sucking on a little.
Since he had already reached this step, Lin Zhen might as well just sit there and wait for the puppy to finish sucking his blood.
But once it started sucking, it got a bit out of hand.
The blood kept rushing out. The lightning energy, light energy, and traces of cold energy all entered the puppy's body along with the blood.
The dark star kept revolving and replenished the energy that Lin Zhen lost. Large amounts of blood also began to flow out and waves of dizziness attacked him.
"Damn, this thing can eat too much!"
Lin Zhen felt dizzy. He wanted to stop but he didn't want to. If he stopped now, he probably wouldn't have another chance to tame this puppy. He could only force himself to endure.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Zhen felt a wave of heat coming from the entrance of the cave. He knew that the volcano was about to erupt again. He raised his hand and the liquid metal turned into a wall, completely sealing the entrance of the cave.
The lava was rushing outside and the temperature inside the cave was high enough to boil water. Lin Zhen could only use cold energy to block it. Luckily, the puppy didn't reject Lin Zhen's cold energy and used its two paws to suck on Lin Zhen's finger.
Bits of lightning, light, and cold energy continuously entered the puppy's body. Lin Zhen's consciousness gradually became blurry.
He could only vaguely see that the puppy's body would occasionally flash with lightning or faint light.
The puppy was eating very comfortably. Its four paws held Lin Zhen's finger and sucked on it. Occasionally, it would hum a few times and its nose would spit out sulfur smelling smoke with some sparks.
Its saliva also entered Lin Zhen's body through his wound. It made Lin Zhen's finger feel numb and hot.
