At that moment, the voice rang out again, tinged with mockery: "Heh heh heh, whether you believe it or not, you have no other choice. I'll give you three seconds to consider. If you obey me, you will gain my protection; if you refuse, you will be devoured by my wrath."

"No, no, I don't want to be your slave!"

Lin Xi's face was full of fear and unease.

He retreated repeatedly, his heart filled with fear.

"No, no..."

Lin Xi kept retreating, his face growing paler and cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"one two three……"

After several calls, Sargeras the Lion King began the countdown.

At this moment, a resolute look appeared on Lin Xi's face.

"I obey you!"

Lin Xi lowered his head, and in a flash, he knelt down on the ground.

The Lion King Sargeras roared to the sky, and the intense light emanating from his body pierced deep into Linxi's consciousness.

In that instant, Lin Xi felt as if something had entered his mind.

"Awoo!"

The lion king let out a long roar, his voice filled with wild joy.

Lin Xi looked at his own world of consciousness, his eyes filled with confusion.

Because in his mind, there was nothing but himself.

However, he clearly sensed a strange presence in his sea of ​​consciousness just now, an indescribable resonance that made him feel as if he had become one with this cavern.

"roar!"

The golden lion roared excitedly; to it, Lin Xi was like a playmate.

Its heart was overflowing with boundless excitement.

Immediately afterwards, the Lion King let out a deafening roar, and its body radiated a dazzling golden light that covered the entire cavern, completely engulfing it in golden light.

As Lin Xi sensed the mysterious energy within his sea of ​​consciousness, his body also radiated intense light, merging with the golden light of the Golden Lion King.

Instantly, a massive golden beam of light erupted from the Lion King's body, shooting straight into the sky and illuminating every corner of the cave.

Bathed in golden light, Lin Xi's figure appeared particularly insignificant.

"My strength has improved once again."

Lin Xi felt the change within herself, and a smile quietly crept onto her lips.

During this period, he cultivated daily, absorbing the blood and essence of the Golden Lion King to make himself stronger day by day. His progress was incredibly rapid.

But he understood that all of this stemmed from the golden lion bloodline he possessed.

If he had not absorbed this blood, or taken its essence, he would have been nothing more than an ordinary mortal.

Therefore, Lin Xi dared not relax in the slightest, and continued to devour the Lion King's blood, refining and integrating it into himself.

In addition, he has strengthened his physical body. Now his physical strength has reached five million jin, and his agility has more than doubled. Among those of the same level, he is hard to beat.

Moreover, his agility and explosiveness have improved significantly. In the past, dodging attacks would have been an almost impossible task, and he could not even avoid a punch.

Such a change is truly astonishing.

Suddenly, Lin Xi's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was standing in front of a stone platform.

"Are these the remains of the Golden Lion King?"

Lin Xi stared at the lion king before him, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

The golden lion king was surrounded by powerful energy fluctuations. Its eyes were wide open, as if it could see through everything in the world, and its mouth was wide open, as if it could devour everything in the world.

The lion's body was covered with tiny cracks, like broken stones.

In its chest, there was a fist-sized black hole, from which drops of bright red blood slowly flowed and dripped onto the stone platform.

The blood that fell onto the stone platform transformed into runes that flowed into the depths of the black hole.

"Hiss!"

Inside the black hole, a tearing sound continued to emanate.

The space inside the black hole appears to be undergoing relentless destruction.

Lin Xi sensed that the black hole was filled with a destructive force.

He took a deep breath, gazing at the golden-haired lion king before him, his face heavy with hesitation. Was he really going to forge this lion king's remains into a magical artifact?

Suddenly, a deafening thunderclap erupted. Lin Xi looked up at the sky and saw countless bolts of purple lightning raining down.

Those lightning bolts contained the power to destroy heaven and earth. Lin Xi looked up at the sky intertwined with lightning, and his expression changed drastically.

"What...what's going on?"

Why did these purple lightning bolts descend without warning?

A golden light flashed across the Golden Lion King's body as it leaped onto the stone platform, raising its head and letting out a roar that shook the heavens and earth. Immediately afterward, Lin Xi felt an immense pressure sweep over him.

Lin Xi's body crashed heavily onto the stone platform, his face instantly turning deathly pale.

"What...what is this thing?"

Lin Xi stared at the lion king before him, his pupils suddenly contracting, a strong sense of danger welling up in his heart.

This premonition felt like a warning from life itself.

At this moment, the Golden Lion King let out a long roar and pounced towards Lin Xi with lightning speed.

In mid-air, the Lion King's body swelled up into a giant bear.

It swung its huge bear paw and slammed it down.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xi was terrified.

"Run!"

His expression changed drastically, and he immediately turned and ran outside.

However, the Golden Lion King was incredibly fast and caught up almost instantly.

Lin Xi felt a sharp pain in her body, as if she were being tightly gripped by an invisible giant hand, unable to escape no matter how she struggled.

Lin Xi's body slammed hard against the wall, making a dull thud.

A crisp sound rang out from Lin Xi's body; his bones were broken directly. The pain made him tremble all over, and his heart felt like it was about to jump out of his throat.

At this moment, the Golden Lion King roared, opened its blood-red maw, and bit Lin Xi's neck.

Bang!

With one bite, the lion king's head exploded instantly, filling the air with a mist of blood.

Blood splattered everywhere, staining Lin Xi's entire body crimson.

Lin Xi looked down and saw a large hole in his shoulder.

The bloody wound, with fresh blood gushing out continuously, covered his shoulder with shocking scars, making it look particularly ferocious.

"Awoo..."

A piercing scream escaped Lin Xi's throat, her eyes filled with despair.

He was finished! He was utterly powerless to resist such an attack. At that moment, he could only hope that his parents would arrive as soon as possible to save him.

"No!"

Lin Xi screamed in despair, feeling as if her head was about to explode.

"Awoo..."

Just then, the Golden Lion King's body expanded again, transforming into a majestic mountain that enveloped Lin Xi.
