Back in the room, Lin Qiao found the area below to be more like a large chasm. Except for the cave that she had visited before, the other few caves were also in the chasm. Each of them looked like a naturally formed cave, at leave seven meters tall and four meters wide.
The scent of the level-eight underground creature could be sensed from one of those caves.
Lin Qiao followed the creature’s scent and slowly approached the cave through the edge of the chasm. As she moved over a hundred meters ahead, she discovered a cave that was sunken into the ground.
A thick scent of the level-eight creature could be sensed from the cave, and a breathing sound was heard.
She had found it!


Lin Qiao stepped into the cave, finding the ground to be sunken meters from the entrance. In the cave was a large pit, and a huge, black thing was seen at the bottom. Waves of breathing sound came from the big thing. Without a doubt, that was nothing but the level-eight underground creature.
It was sleeping. Judging by its vibe and energy, it was weakened in the battle that happened that night by at least seventy percent. Its breath was uneven, and its life-force was weak.
Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes and saw the red energy inside the creature’s body. Before, its energy looked like a one kilowatt lightbulb, but it now seemed like a hundred watt one.
The energy the creature had left was healing its wounds. Waking it up recklessly would not be a good thing.
Lin Qiao moved slightly backward, then released a stream of dark mist that drilled into its body through its nose bit by bit. Lin Qiao sent a slight amount of mist into the creature’s body so that it wouldn’t wake up. The mist wasn’t threatening the creature’s life, so it made no reaction to it.
After sending some of the mist into the creature’s body, Lin Qiao turned and stepped out of the cave, then took some of the roots she found in the abandoned tunnel out of her space. Then, she threw them into the cave and waved her claws toward them.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Over ten lumps on those roots were cut by her sharp claws, causing the strong, stimulating smell to spread in the cave immediately.
Lin Qiao swiftly moved backward as she heard a thunderous, raging roar from behind.

Roar!
The deafening roar erupted and caused a wave of vibration.
Lin Qiao put a hand on the cave wall, even feeling the wall and the ground under her feet quaking. In that instant, she raised a hand and snapped her fingers, following which, the mist that she sent into the creature’s body just now uttered a series of popping noises and turned into a wisp of dark fire.


The rest of the dark mist gathered toward the fire and then started expanding.

Roar…
Once again, the creature roared out loud and struggled. The enormous level-eight underground creature made a few rolls in the cave, then got up from the ground and shook its head.
The disgusting smell in its nose made it so angry. Inside its body, a familiar kind of energy had been absorbing the energy that it had left.

Roar…
The level-eight underground creature gave a wrathful roar, then rushed out of the cave.
Its voice spread to the surrounding caves wave by wave. Before long, many other underground creatures roared to respond to it.
At that moment, Lin Qiao released a few arm-sized black fire flakes toward the level-eight creature.

Roar…
The level-eight creature was running toward the chasm, but, it suddenly sensed Lin Qiao’s vibe and figured out that she was launching attacks. So, it immediately turned around and charged at her.
Seeing that, Lin Qiao quickly drew back. While sending the dark fire on the outside into the creature’s mouth, she had also been controlling the fire inside its body, making it absorb the creature’s energy as quickly as possible.
As the frenzied big guy was rushing at her, she immediately turned and moved into a smaller cave. She couldn’t move too far away from the creature, or she might not be able to control the fire inside its body.

Roar…
The level-eight underground creature stormed into Lin Qiao’s cave as it widely opened its mouth and bared its scary, sharp, white teeth. Sticky saliva flowed out of its mouth, splashing onto the ground.


While absorbing the creature’s energy, Lin Qiao led it further into the cave. The deeper in they went, the narrower the space became, which was a good thing for Lin Qiao.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The level-eight underground creature’s body was ten meters tall and five meters wide, so it was very inconvenient for it to run in the cave. It was running violently forward, even brushing against the cave walls.
It looked so infuriated as it even attempted to bite Lin Qiao to death.
While moving backward, Lin Qiao had also been observing the creature. She found that the creature seemed to have become much slower than before. Earlier, the smell of the roots killed some lower-leveled underground creatures in no time, but they didn’t seem to be so effective on the big one. Or probably, the effects hadn’t started to show yet.

Roar…
The noises that the level-eight creature made in the cave were heard in the other caves, following which, the other underground creatures all gathered toward that area. Before long, some level four and five underground creatures showed up behind Lin Qiao and blocked her way back as they charged at her fiercely.
Tonight, Lin Qiao and her three pets had caused them some heavy losses. So, they all appeared to be annoyed now.
At the sight of her, they bared their teeth and roared at her ragingly.
As there was no way back, Lin Qiao cut off the connection between herself and the dark fire inside the level-eight one’s body, then turned herself invisible leaping onto the cave wall nearby before thrusting her feet against the wall and hopping into the air. At that very moment, the level-eight creature showed up below her.
She landed on the creature’s back, then turned and leaped down, landing behind it. She made a few quick steps backward, then showed her face and continued to control the fire inside the creature’s body.

Roar!
The level-eight creature bumped into its subordinates. It was stunned for a moment, then sensed Lin Qiao’s vibe from behind. The creature felt like she was fooling with it. So, it immediately turned toward her as it roared angrily and charged again. However, it only took two steps forward before it suddenly stopped.



Roar!

As the level-eight creature stopped moving, the lower-leveled ones behind it all stopped as well.
The level-eight creature abruptly dropped its head to look at its own chest, then slapped on its chest with its claws. After that, it twitched its neck, seemingly trying to vomit or cough.

Errr… Eh…

This time, it did not manage to cough out the thing that was inside its body, absorbing its energy. Before, when Lin Qiao sent her dark fire into its body, the creature suppressed it and then turned it into mist before coughing it out.
But, it wasn’t able to do it again this time.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The creature couldn’t help but violently slap its own chest with its claws as it started to feel uncomfortable.
