Danger

After reaching the end of the left passage, the view opened up to emptiness once more. Lin Ming then focused his gaze on the center of the empty Stone Chamber.

There, a square platform made of Purple Crystal Stone, nearly ten feet long and wide and half a foot high, was connected to the ground at the bottom, and at the top, a Purple Sphere the size of a basketball lay quietly in the center of the platform.

"No wonder it's the Companion Purple Crystal Source that allowed the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King to advance directly from the Fourth-Order to the Fifth Order! The heat it emits alone makes the temperature inside this Stone Chamber a notch higher than outside." Stepping into the Stone Chamber and feeling the noticeably increased temperature, Lin Ming couldn't help but exclaim.

Arriving at the stone platform, Lin Ming took out the Purple Spirit Crystal he had just obtained again. Along with the Purple Spirit Crystal, he also took out a very large Jade Bottle.

The Companion Purple Crystal Source was born on this stone platform at the same time as the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was born, and solidified into crystals, which resulted in the Companion Purple Crystal Source being directly connected to the stone platform.

Lin Ming wasn't Magical Beasts like the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, who could swallow this basketball-sized Purple Sphere containing the Companion Purple Crystal Source in one gulp after reaching the Fourth-Order.

Therefore, if Lin Ming wants to obtain the Companion Purple Crystal Source, he must destroy the outer layer of crystal to obtain the Companion Purple Crystal Source inside.

However, the Companion Purple Crystal Source was prepared by the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King for his own child. In order to prevent it from being taken away, the crystalline protective layer on the outside of the Companion Purple Crystal Source has the function of devouring the attached energy.

Therefore, if someone wants to forcibly take the Companion Purple Crystal Source, they can only destroy and remove the connecting stone platform below. However, the commotion caused will definitely be enough for the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King to sense it and return.

Fortunately, Lin Ming retained the memories of the original story and knew that there was another way to open the outer crystal of the Companion Purple Crystal Source. That was to use the Purple Spirit Crystal to easily break the outer crystal of the Companion Purple Crystal Source.

Picking up the Purple Spirit Crystal, Lin Ming chose the sharpest point and thrust it fiercely at the bottom of the Companion Purple Crystal Source.

As the Companion Purple Crystal Source pierced the hard Purple Spirit Crystal, a small hole appeared. Then, Lin Ming placed the Jade Bottle he had just taken out into the hole, pulled out the Purple Spirit Crystal, and the Companion Purple Crystal Source flowed directly into the Jade Bottle.

As Lin Ming received the Companion Purple Crystal Source, the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, who had been unconscious, pried open his eyelids and woke up from his daze.

As Companion Purple Crystal Source is intertwined with itself and is related to its ability to grow rapidly and reach higher levels, the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King has always maintained a connection with it.

Now that the Companion Purple Crystal Source is crucial to his entire life, has encountered an unexpected situation, the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, through that contact, naturally woke up from his unconsciousness.

Upon waking, seeing his body moved and the protective Purple Spirit Crystal nowhere to be found, the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King immediately thought of the Human Dou Emperor Expert had come to exchange the Purple Spirit Crystal with his mother.

Although his mother was sealed away by that Human Dou Emperor Expert, his own horn was also broken off.

As the child of Tier 6 Magical Beast, the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King currently only possesses the strength of Tier 3 Magical Beast, but its intelligence is quite high.

Therefore, at this moment, the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King guessed that the person who stole the Purple Spirit Crystal and the Companion Purple Crystal Source was probably an accomplice of that human woman.

Right now, the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King nothing about the guy who stole the Purple Spirit Crystal and the Companion Purple Crystal Source, but just the fact that this person could make him faint shows that this person's strength is beyond his ability to deal with. If he were to go looking for him alone, it would probably be a dead end.

The Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King thought that if he couldn't deal with the thief, he would call his mother back. Then, the thief would only have one way out: death, and his own Companion Purple Crystal Source would be preserved. So, after regaining his senses, the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King didn't roar, but instead ran quickly towards the outside of the cave.

Lin Ming, who was putting away the Companion Purple Crystal Source, did not expect that the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King would wake up at this time and have such wisdom. He immediately ran out of the cave to summon his mother, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

After watching the last drop of the Companion Purple Crystal Source flow into the Jade Bottle, Lin Ming nodded in satisfaction, then sealed the Jade Bottle and put it into his Storage Ring along with the Purple Spirit Crystal.

"Done!"

After putting everything into his Storage Ring, Lin Ming clapped his hands, said something, and turned to leave the Stone Chamber, heading towards the cave entrance.

"Hmm! Why is there an energy fluctuation here?" After arriving at the fork in the road, Lin Ming noticed a faint energy fluctuation in the air.

There was no such faint energy fluctuation when I passed by just now, but now it is being detected, which means that something must have passed through here during this time.

"Holy crap! The Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King has woken up!" In this cave, besides himself, only the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King remained, so at this moment, Lin Ming immediately exclaimed in surprise.

The Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King would definitely discover that the Purple Spirit Crystal had been stolen when it woke up. But it didn't make a sound as it ran out of the cave. Even the dumbest person would know that it went to inform its mother, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

The thought of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King returning and trapping him in the cave sent chills down Lin Ming's spine.

Being trapped in such a narrow cave by the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, Lin Ming had no way to hide. His situation would be one of near-death.

Thinking of this, Lin Ming didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately increased his speed to the maximum as he headed out of the cave.

"Faster! Faster!" Lin Ming, who was running through the cave, had never been so anxious. So much so that Lin Ming didn't even have time to pay attention to the cold sweat trickling down his temples.

"Roar!"

A moment later, upon hearing the slightly imposing roar of a lion coming from ahead, Lin Ming's heart sank. With that roar, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King would probably return in just a few breaths.

The only slightly better news was that he was not far from the exit. Lin Ming steeled his resolve, and his speed increased by a third.

Since things had come to this, Lin Ming decided to gamble on whether he would get out of the cave first or whether the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King would return first.

Seeing the light appear ahead, Lin Ming was overjoyed. However, at that moment, the powerful roar of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King suddenly rang out.

"Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, you forced me to do this, so don't blame me!" Hearing the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's roar, Lin Ming looked at the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King at the cave entrance with a cold glint in his eyes and said with a fierce determination.

In the blink of an eye, the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, who was waiting for his mother to return at the cave entrance, realized that his body had automatically lifted off the ground.

A moment later, the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King struggled to turn its head and look behind it, only to see its body being lifted up by a winged human male and suspended in mid-air.
