Before entering the Alchemy Furnace, Lin Yun used his mental energy to scan the surroundings.
Along with achieving minor success in the Beast Taming Art, he also understood some basic applications of mental energy. Closing his eyes and extending his mental energy outwards was like having a bird's-eye view; wherever his mental energy reached, it would be clearly presented in Lin Yun's mind.
At this moment, a radius of eight hundred meters was within Lin Yun's mental perception.
After a scan, he found that a few people passed by, but none came towards him. Coupled with the fact that this Rock Cave was quite hidden, Lin Yun entered the Alchemy Furnace.
The space inside the Alchemy Furnace was large, and one person and four tigers wouldn't feel crowded inside.
Half an hour ago, Red Spirit had already told Lin Yun that the Fire Python Tiger mother had woken up and was crashing around inside the Alchemy Furnace, but she was easily suppressed by Red Spirit.
The interior of the Alchemy Furnace had multiple formations. Entering the Alchemy Furnace space meant falling under Red Spirit's control. Even though the Fire Python Tiger mother was in the Heavenly Yuan Realm, she couldn't resist Red Spirit's pill fire.
Having been suppressed repeatedly, the Fire Python Tiger mother no longer had the energy to resist. She lay prostrate on the ground, watching over her three cubs.
Having calmed down, she was surprised to find that the surrounding crimson energy was actually helping to heal the wound on her abdomen and stop the blood loss.
However, her gaze kept scanning the surroundings, her heart filled with confusion and unease.
Where is this?
Why did her children also come in?
Why didn't that human kill her?
At this moment, a white light flashed above, and the young man from before appeared.
"Roar!" The Fire Python Tiger immediately became alert, struggling to stand up.
Reflected in the crimson pill fire, Lin Yun saw the Fire Python Tiger mother and the three cubs beneath her.
"Don't be afraid, I don't want to harm you!" Lin Yun immediately transmitted his consciousness through mental energy.
This was a wonderful use of the Beast Taming Art, allowing communication and information transmission through mental energy.
Hearing Lin Yun's mental transmission, the Fire Python Tiger was startled, its gaze still fixed on Lin Yun.
"Relax, don't be hostile. If I wanted to kill you, you would already be dead by now, including your three children," Lin Yun continued, approaching her step by step.
The Fire Python Tiger mother seemed to understand her current situation and didn't dare to retreat. Her tiger eyes were filled with apprehension.
"There will be many people outside today. If I let you out and others see you injured, they definitely won't let you go. Actually, I didn't intend to save you, but I changed my mind when I saw your three children."
Lin Yun pointed at the three cubs and said.
He was serious about this. The biggest reason he thought of saving the Fire Python Tiger mother was these three cubs, or more precisely, one of them.
One of her three children would become the most powerful tiger in the world in the future, the Darkness Saint Tiger.
Lin Yun wanted to adopt her child and would likely become good brothers with her child in the future, just like Lin Dong.
Therefore, knowing what would happen in the future, Lin Yun felt it was necessary to put in some effort to save the Fire Python Tiger mother.
In the original work, the Fire Python Tiger mother was surrounded and killed by Lei Li and Xie Yingying, while Lin Dong and Wu Yun took the opportunity to steal the three cubs.
Lin Dong had no choice at the time, and he didn't know that the cub he obtained then would become his lifelong brother. Therefore, the Fire Python Tiger mother could only become a tool in his gamble to obtain the cub and was not taken to heart.
Perhaps one day in the future, when the cub asks Lin Dong about his birth, Lin Dong will remember this Fire Python Tiger mother, but it will be too late to change anything, the regret will have already been created.
Lin Yun didn't want such regret to happen.
He wanted to save the family of his future brother.
"Follow me, I can raise you!" Lin Yun transmitted sincerely.
Demonic beasts have intuition and can sense a person's good or evil.
The Fire Python Tiger mother's gaze towards Lin Yun was no longer so wary. She seemed to know that this young man wouldn't harm her. From the previous battle, she had already felt that this young man could clearly kill her but didn't deliver the killing blow.
He entered here and even helped her treat her injuries.
Her injuries were already very severe, and if not treated promptly, she could only wait for death.
Lin Yun's appearance, on the contrary, gave her a chance to live.
She still had no choice now; as long as this young man wanted to, he could still easily kill her.
She didn't want to die; she still had three children to take care of. If she died, her three children wouldn't be safe either.
The Fire Python Tiger mother was very rational at this moment. After thinking it through, she slowly lay down, indicating that she would not resist Lin Yun.
"Very good, you made the right choice. However, your strength is very strong. If you recover, I estimate I won't be your match." Lin Yun squatted down and communicated with her. "I want your children, but I can't be completely at ease with you by my side. For the sake of the three little ones, I won't kill you. I can also treat your injuries and let you leave."
The Fire Python Tiger mother's eyes lit up, but she seemed to think of being separated from the three little ones forever, and hesitation immediately appeared in her eyes. She couldn't bear to part with the three little ones.
Noticing the Fire Python Tiger mother's expression, Lin Yun was secretly pleased. He didn't rush but let the Fire Python Tiger mother think for a while.
Low-level demonic beasts are not as smart as humans, and their reaction time might be a bit slow.
The Fire Python Tiger mother licked the three little ones, very reluctant to part.
Seeing that the Fire Python Tiger mother's maternal emotions were fully aroused, Lin Yun continued to transmit, "It seems you are very reluctant to part with the three little ones. I don't want you to be separated either. How about this, I'll give you a choice: follow me. However, the premise is that you accept my mental imprint and become my tamed beast."
The Fire Python Tiger mother's eyes lit up again, looking at Lin Yun.
"Roar roar roar..."
She didn't understand mental transmission, only roaring in a low, anxious voice.
It seemed she really wanted to stay and accompany the three little ones.
"Alright, now do as I say." Lin Yun slowly walked over and tentatively placed his hand on the Fire Python Tiger mother's head.
During this process, Lin Yun's other hand was also cautiously on guard. If anything went wrong, he would give it a punch.
Fortunately, the Fire Python Tiger mother didn't resist at all.
Lin Yun slightly relaxed.
There was nothing he could do; this was his first time using the Beast Taming Art, and he wasn't very confident.
To fuse a mental imprint with a demonic beast, the most important thing was for the demonic beast to cooperate. If it resisted, the mental imprint could easily dissipate, leading to failure.
Generally, unless one's mental strength was very strong and could force the fusion, encountering mental resistance would result in a backlash, causing damage to one's spirit.
Lin Yun hadn't even started cultivating mental strength yet; his innate mental strength was just stronger than average. Under these conditions, trying to forcibly imprint the Heavenly Yuan Realm Fire Python Tiger mother with a mental mark was too risky.
That's why he had talked so much with the Fire Python Tiger mother, working on her mindset.
Now, the effect was evident, and only the final step remained.
"Red Spirit, prepare to protect me. If the Fire Python Tiger resists, suppress it," Lin Yun secretly instructed Red Spirit first.
Then, he transmitted a message to the Fire Python Tiger mother again, "Relax your mind, don't resist me."
Immediately, he closed his eyes, released his mental strength, and entered the Fire Python Tiger's mind.
A force suddenly intruded into its mind, and the Fire Python Tiger mother's body stiffened. The consciousness in its mind wanted to drive this force out. Lin Yun's hand immediately gently stroked its head and transmitted, "Relax, relax. You don't want to be separated from your children, do you?"
As expected, the Fire Python Tiger mother's body softened, and its consciousness no longer resisted Lin Yun.
A moment later, Lin Yun received a system prompt.
[Task: Use the Beast Taming Art to tame the Fire Python Tiger. Reward: One bottle of Fourth-Grade Soul Nourishing Pills. Completed. Claim reward?]
Lin Yun opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curving upwards.
Looking at the Fire Python Tiger mother again, he felt a sense of closeness.
With the successful mental imprint, a mental connection was established between them.
If the Fire Python Tiger mother dared to resist him, Lin Yun could move his mental strength to attack its spiritual sea, severely injuring or even killing it.
"Woo~ Roar!"
The Fire Python Tiger mother let out a low roar... Is this how it works? Can I bring my children and stay by your side? After establishing the mental connection, Lin Yun could communicate with the Fire Python Tiger mother through mental sensing.
"Yes, from now on, you are my companion. Don't worry, I will take good care of your children and raise them to become future Demonic Kings."
Lin Yun patted the Fire Python Tiger mother's back and promised.
"Woo—Roar!" The Fire Python Tiger mother responded... I'm satisfied as long as they grow up healthy.
Having experienced life and death, the Fire Python Tiger mother had seen through many things and didn't dare to have too high expectations for the future. As long as her children could survive, that was enough.
Lin Yun didn't say much more but took out a Returning Spring Pill. "Here, eat this pill first to recover from your injuries."
The Fire Python Tiger mother didn't doubt him. She completely trusted Lin Yun now. Not to mention just eating a pill, even if Lin Yun asked her to fight, kill, or even commit suicide, she would execute it without hesitation.
The Fire Python Tiger mother opened her mouth and ate the Returning Spring Pill.
As the pill entered her body, the gentle medicinal power spread within her. Her originally weak and injured body, like a withered tree meeting spring, instantly regained vitality.
The wound on her abdomen was also healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Such miraculous medicinal effects instantly astonished the inexperienced Fire Python Tiger mother.
Her pair of tiger eyes lit up again, looking at Lin Yun with bright, piercing eyes.
Their family... seemed to have truly met a benefactor!
