Unable to walk any further as the ground shook violently, Logan stumbled and tried his best to stand up and run. He did not care about losing the crystal if it ant saving his life.
But it was for naught as he saw rows of teeth surrounding him.
The creature's mouth was at least three ters wide, and he was within the center of its gaping maw.
"Damn this idea!" Logan cursed as he was sucked inside the mouth like quicksand, before being trapped within the large creature's maw.
It seed like a tunnel that shook violently.
He could not distinguish top from bottom, but he knew he had to try sothing before he was swallowed up.
He began pressing his bleeding finger frantically as he felt the form of a tongue beneath him.
Pressing his finger on it, he felt a shake, indicating he was doing sothing right.
"Ah, to hell with it!" Logan exclaid as he saw the sharp row of teeth.
As the mouth opened for a few seconds, he pressed his finger on it to make the wound larger.
The razor-sharp teeth almost cut his finger off, making him regret the choice.
The place quickly beca ssy as the monster struggled with the force link being made.
"I wonder if the damn tattoo will be on my tongue after this..." Logan tried to settle his mind with a joke as the monster shook even more.
"Co on!! Accept to be my tad beast!" Logan shouted, frustration mounting.
He knew he had to take a drastic step and, reluctantly, he took out a new crystal—one of the only two he had left—and sent it down the large tunnel, leaving the powerful mana in the creature's mouth.
"There, now let out!!!" Logan yelled in anger.
Suddenly, he felt the strangest link he had made so far—it was unlike any he had created before.
He felt the power of his new creature through this link, as if instead of Logan sharing his energy with the creature, this ti the creature had to send energy back to Logan.
Logan felt invigorated.
Taming the beast gave him four whole level-ups, sothing he had not experienced before.
[Let out now, I know you can hear !] Logan commanded, feeling the creature accept his order.
The mouth soon opened, and Logan saw the light of the sun again.
His ntor and even Scorch were present, ready to fight.
"It's fine, it's fine. I finally got this kid under control," Logan said as he walked out of the large beast's mouth.
"You are seriously crazy and very lucky, boy. How are you alive with all the stuff that happens to you?" Valeria yelled as she placed her weapons away while calming her large panther, which looked on edge.
"I'd rather call it bad luck," Logan said as he stepped away to check on his new tad monster.
He walked and kept walking trying to get a full view of his new creature.
The large worm was huge.
The three-ter mouth should have been enough for one to imagine, but just looking at its face, he could estimate the beast was at least thirty or forty ters long.
"Well, it's almost the size of my dragon... and that kid's still growing," Valeria said, petting Logan's back.
"Do you think it will be like the rest of my creatures? I got stronger just by taming it," Logan asked while walking back to pet the large worm, which seed expectant.
"Don't think I will give you another mana stone… you just ate what soone would take a lifeti to make in cash," the boy joked while his ntor inspected the worm from all sides.
"Well… I think I know why it was a tough monster to ta. Do you rember that forest keeper back before we fought the demons?" Valeria pondered, rubbing her chin.
"You an the snake with horns who had a mutation stone in its belly?" Logan replied, trying to rember the creature.
"Precisely, that one. This monster is the sa—the most powerful beast of this part of the land and its guardian. It's nothing compared to Ferra, but at least with this kid around, you won't have to fear other creatures. Think of it as the king of this zone," Valeria pointed out the other worms and moles, who acted like they were waiting for orders.
"I guess that explains a lot…" Logan replied as he tried commanding one of the creatures he had not tad.
This one did not follow his orders, so it seed only his tad beast was able to understand him.
Logan then took out his crystal, knowing he had to try sothing before they had to leave for the day.
[Hey, do you know if there are crystals like these around here?] He communicated his intentions to his new beast.
[Food, hard to find, only big mountain, Grav Territory, be mad if take.] Logan pieced together the information but did not know who Korro was.
As for the biggest mountain, he rembered it was at a considerable distance with snow on its peak.
"Say, teacher, do you rember the large mountain with snow at its peak?
Well, this creature tells there are crystals over there… it's just that it belongs to soone nad Grav…" Logan asked, wondering if she knew the na or if it was so bigshot like Ferra.
"Never heard of it. How about you ask your beast what kind of creature it is?" Valeria suggested while dusting herself off.
[So tell , who is this Grav? Can you describe the creature?]
[Grav is Grav, big, made stone, can't eat, walk two legs.] The beast tried to describe the creature, but with its limited vocabulary, it didn't give Logan a concrete answer.
"Well, it seems to be a type of golem based on this kid's description," Logan explained.
"Let's go back and ask around. Maybe soone in the village or the fort nearby knows sothing," Valeria suggested.
Before they started to climb back up, Logan pitched an idea. He told the whole team to get on top of his new earthworm and used it as a ride to get to the top of the mine. With its huge size, the beast took them up as if it was swimming in water. In reality, it was eating all the dirt in front of it, leaving a huge trail behind.
As soon as they got to the top of the mine, they got off the large worm and tried looking for the mountain ntioned.
North of them, they spotted the snow-covered mountain. It was large in size and would be a difficult climb. However, now they had a train to ride on, as Logan petted his new tad beast.
