Karin almost thought she had misheard Rove teach her to dance, and she looked at the boy in amazement, only to see that he didn't seem to be joking.

Because...... Rov was already with his legs spread, his arms up, his fingertips clenched, and he twisted strangely sideways with scissor steps.

"Hurry up." Rove urged, "Keep up with me." ”

Karin looked at the strange movements of the old man, and tried not to let herself laugh, and when she saw the young man glaring at her, she quickly held her breath and imitated the young man's movements.

The girl asked awkwardly and ashamedly:

"What are we doing here?"

"You could call it the Dance of the Manticore." Rove twisted his ass as he explained:

"It's a mimicry technique that can alleviate the violent tendencies of manticores, so that they think we are our own kind and will not attack us."

"Does it really work?" Karin was skeptical.

"Obviously." Rove lifted his chin and nodded forward, "Very effective." ”

Following the young man's gaze, Karin was stunned at a glance.

She saw that the group of small scorpion-tailed beasts that had gathered around her, and really did not attack them again, but gathered together to imitate the movements of the teenager, and also crawled sideways.

Karin was overjoyed, and now she twisted her waist and hips with all her might, regardless of her shame.

"Karin, I'm the Manticore's Dance...... It is dance, but also art, and it also contains aesthetics. Rove glanced at her and said speechlessly:

"Can you stop shaking like an electric eel? I don't know if I thought you were electrocuted. ”

The girl smiled angrily: "I obviously imitate your movements, and I am exactly the same." ”

"It's far off, okay." Rove rolled his eyes and said, "You have to open your toes outward forty-five degrees, and inhale slowly, and then slowly twist your knees in the direction of one toe, and slowly walk sideways while exhaling." ”

Rove demonstrated it to her again.

"Your movements look like crabs." Karin grinned, "It's not as good as my electric eel dance." ”

“……”

Well, Rove's Dance of the Scorpion-tailed Beast does contain the crab's walking posture, after all, when he played basketball in his previous life, the best breakthrough move was the Emperor's six-step layup crab step.

The two of them writhed like this, moving towards the entrance of the cave, when suddenly there was a creaking sound under their feet, and Rove immediately stopped.

The little manticores also stopped, staring up at him.

Rove lowered his head and slowly and carefully lifted his right foot, only to see a small manticored that had been trampled on the sole of his shoe.

The little manticores hissed at him, screamed angrily, and ran out with a crunch, apparently to report to their mother.

Rove pinched the little manticore-tailed beast at his feet, and there was a sudden "ding" in his brain.

[A wild manticored beast that has been burst is detected, triggering side quest 1:]

Heal a dying manticore, rewarding mana:

【Scorpion Thorn】

[By consuming mana, the calcium in the body is extracted to create a stinger as hard as a bone, which can be ejected when it is dangerous]

【Side Mission 2】

Complete 100% domestication of Manticores, rewarding mana:

【Scorpion Whip】

[A tail whip that can be contracted arbitrarily, with small protruding barbs in the middle and lower parts, which can hook the enemy and prevent movement when inserted into the enemy's body]

Rov stroked the faint manticore's breath with his hand, and after giving it a second life, he put it in his pocket.

They crawled up the passage, and when they were about to return to the cell, a huge thorn with a barbed hook pierced them, and the bright poisonous needle forced the two to retreat.

Karin asked in a low voice, "Does the manticore's dance work?" ”

"It just worked." Rove spread his hands and said: "But one of its children was just stepped on and bursting, so it's probably useless." ”

"It shouldn't be very hungry." Karin guessed, "It just ate a condemned prisoner." ”

"That's worse." Rove shook his head and said, "A corpse is at best a staple between its teeth, it can serve as an appetizer, and it will have a great appetite." ”

】

“……”

"Don't worry, we need a little help."

Rove whistled with two fingers to his mouth, a magical whistle that echoed throughout the building.

"Wait a minute, the little guy will bring us firefly lanterns."

Karin breathed a sigh of relief, and when she saw the boy walking towards the cave again, she hurriedly said, "Why are you going?" ”

"It's going to be idle, I'm going to find the prisoner who broke the firefly lamp." With a surging smile on his face, Rove said calmly:

"When I was leaving, I gave him some hospice care, which is also my humanitarianism as a veterinarian."

“……”

Rove crawled along the hole to the cage, and the manticore's huge tail immediately stabbed straight into his chest like a whip.

The young man was expressionless, and let the stinger fall, the long thorn that shimmered with a faint green sheen, but instead of piercing his skin, it struck a series of sparks in his chest.

Rove's skin had turned a silver-gray color, comparable to the defensive strength of a dragon's scales, but it was not something that a manticored could pierce.

He grabbed the tail with one hand, stretched out another palm, and the palm of his hand was against the stinger, and a faint arc flashed in his hand, which had already turned into a strong thunderbolt in an instant!

The tail of the manticore, stimulated and eroded by the electric current, had already had a layer of scorched black in just a few seconds.

The manticore, feeling a constant and intense pain and paralysis, roared, its tail immediately retracting into its deep hole.

Rove didn't stop him, he could have subdued the manticore, but it was the caretaker of the prison after all.

And this prison is full of condemned prisoners.

If you do too much damage to the manticore, the prisoners will have a chance to escape.

The boy quickly walked out of the cell door, walked to the side, and saw an old man with gray hair.

He was sitting on the ground with a gloomy face, looking at the pit of filialism, wondering if the beast was going to die so that he could escape from prison.

Rove knocked on the iron fence and asked, "Hey, did you just break the firefly lamp?" ”

The old man narrowed his eyes, looked at the young man, and saw that he didn't hold the firefly lamp, but dared to stand in the corridor, and he was so big, he couldn't judge his strength for a while.

The old man suddenly laughed: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding...... I just wanted to make a deal with that little girl, no malice. ”

"Good one, no malice." Rove smiled and said, "I want to make a deal with you too." ”

"What deal?"

"Of course I saved you."

As Rove spoke, his mouth puffed out, and a large cloud of sticky saliva spit out of his mouth and landed on the iron fence.

"The tongue is sticky."

The liquid was so corrosive that it was dissolved after only a dozen seconds.

The old man was dumbfounded, and when he saw that the cell door disappeared, he was not happy, but his face changed, and he cursed: "You are looking for death!" ”

He could cast spells without a wand, and he would have been able to blast open the iron door a long time ago, but he didn't choose to do so, of course, because he was afraid of the manticore.

The old man tried to kill the boy, but the huge tail flew from the bottom of the pit again, and this time instead of shooting at Rove, it reached into the cell.

The spikes of the scorpion-tailed beast's tail pierced the old man's body in an instant, like a knife cutting tofu, and then lifted it reluctantly, lifting his whole person into the air.

The old man looked at the boy bitterly and resentfully, but he could barely speak, for his abdomen was already wrenched.

Rove looked at the condemned prisoner who was suspended in the air, and he said softly:

"Be a good person in the next life."
