When he saw those blood-red beads, a trace of doubt appeared on Andrew’s face.
That little guy actually used its mouth to pick up a few beads and walked towards Andrew.
It placed those beads under Andrew’s feet.
Following that, the little guy let out a series of hissing sounds. However, this time, it did not have the intention to attack Andrew.
Andrew crouched down in confusion. After holding the beads and scanning them, a trace of shock flashed through his eyes.
Clayton also noticed his reaction. After a moment of shock, he walked towards Andrew. When he arrived in front of him, he did not wait for Clayton to speak. Andrew directly turned towards him.
“What?” Clayton asked.
“You just said that this little thing is formed from the essence of the Crimson Flame Stones here. Does this thing have any other uses, such as refining the Crimson Flame Stone?”
Clayton also felt doubtful. Andrew knew what was going on. He indifferently waved his hand at him. Following that, he once again took out a piece of Crimson Flame Stone from his side and placed it in front of the little guy.
When the little guy saw the Crimson Flame Stone, a trace of disdain flashed across its face. It did not absorb it and laid down on the ground instead.
Andrew was confused.
The little guy seemed to have understood his meaning. It puffed up its stomach and shook it at Andrew.
In an instant, Andrew came to a realization. It turned out that the little guy had absorbed a lot of Crimson Flame Stones. After all, it was a small demonic beast, so its appet.i.te was limited.
After thinking for a while, he picked up the little guy again.
The corner of Andrew’s mouth revealed a trace of joy.
Clayton read the changing expression on his face and didn’t know what to say. At this time, Andrew said to him without turning his head, “I feel that this little thing is quite fated with me. Why don’t I take it under my wing?”
Clayton was overcome with shock.
In the world of warriors, this was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
He said to Andrew, “You’d better think twice before you act. After all, we don’t know its background. If we raise a tiger, how should we deal with it?”
Andrew only smiled faintly. “Do you not trust me? With my strength, let alone this little demonic beast, even if it was ten times bigger than this, it wouldn’t be a problem. Moreover, as long as we can subdue this little thing, then in the future, we don’t need to cooperate with the government in the Crimson Flame Stone extraction project. We can rely on it to obtain an endless amount of Crimson Flame Stone essence.”
The reason why he wanted to convince the little guy was that he had his own plans. After all, those people from the government were asking for 60% of the profit from the Crimson Flame Stone mine.
Even if he really didn’t care about the 60% profit, the government’s actions had made him furious.
Rather than being bullied by them, he might as well think of a way himself. As long as he could completely tame this little thing, he didn’t need to give so many things to those people from the government.
At this moment, Clayton also understood his intentions, but he still felt worried. After all, this kind of thing was different from the house cats and dogs in the past. If they were to rebel, even their owners might suffer a backlash.
However, since Andrew had made up his mind, he could not say anything. He had seen Andrew’s strength before.
Once Clayton acquiesced, Andrew circulated his immortal Qi and transmitted it into the little guy’s body.
After a short while, the little guy’s face revealed a trace of pain. However, Andrew didn’t have any intention of stopping. After a long time, he slowly withdrew his immortal Qi.
Immediately after, he placed the little guy on the ground. With a faint smile on his face, he said, “Why don’t you follow me in the future? I guarantee that you will have an endless amount of Crimson Flame Stones. Moreover, I can help you quickly raise your cultivation. Killing two birds with one stone is a good thing. Do you want to consider it?”
A trace of disdain appeared on Clayton’s face.
He felt that Andrew was like a pyramid scheme salesman, brainwashing a monster.
Andrew stood there quietly and waited for the monster’s reply.
The little guy opened its eyes wide and stared at him. After sizing him up, it let out a whine.
Andrew’s lips curled up, and he nodded.
Clayton had no know what was happening. He asked Andrew with a puzzled expression.
“Can you understand the language of this demonic beast? Although you usually have a lot of dealings with demonic beasts, but…”
Before he finished, Andrew turned around and said to him with a puzzled expression.
“What’s there to be confused about? Do you think the immortal Qi I released just now was to show off? It has my contract in its body now, so it can understand anything I say, and I can understand what it’s thinking.”
Clayton suddenly came to a realization.
He thought that the immortal Qi was just to give this demonic beast a threat, to make it follow him obediently in the future.
Who would have thought that Andrew would actually have such a trick?
After resolving Clayton’s doubts, Andrew turned around and spoke to the little guy again.
“Since you’ve already agreed to follow me, then you should at least have your own name. You’re condensed from the essence of the Crimson Flame Stone. In the future, your name will be Crimson Flame.”
The demonic beast nodded at him blankly. Then, its body emitted a dazzling golden light.
