The massive tricolor lizard lay down obediently, flattening its long tail against the ground like a sturdy lift. One after another, the three girls stepped onto it carefully. With a slow and steady motion, the lizard raised its tail, carrying them upward with surprising gentleness for such a beast.
"Xiao Cai, you're amazing. You really scared me at first, but now I feel completely safe," Mino said cheerfully. Her fluffy rabbit ears twitched happily as she gave the lizard's glossy scales a light pat.
The lizard's thick tail twitched slightly in response. Then, as if taking its task more seriously after the encouragement, it stiffened its body to ensure the girls were transported even more securely.
"Luciel, you should spit out some spider silk and tie up the plants, otherwise they'll slide off and get damaged," Liyue urged, stepping closer with a practical expression.
