Chapter 177: Rich Resources, Mental Enslavement
A few hundred miles away from Chu Feng, the violent power of lightning continuously bombarded a mountain range filled with strange rocks. The rumbling sounds that pierced the clouds and split the rocks resounded in the area. The one who released the lightning strike was an overlord level 10 Titan thunder beast, named Barker. Under its continuous lightning strikes, a thick layer of the mountain was peeled off, revealing a mineral vein.
The moment Barker saw the mineral vein, he couldn’t help but laugh. “Haha, it’s a thunder crystal mineral vein! It doesn’t look like it’s confined to just this area. It should be a large-scale mineral vein worth over a million military merits!”
When he said “over a million military merits”, his voice nearly split, clearly very excited. Barker felt that it was going to strike it rich. Fortunately, it hadn’t gone after those Beastmasters. After all, there were very few human Beastmasters here, and it was very hard to find them. Even if it killed them with much effort, it wouldn’t gain much. But now, it had found itself a broad path by easily mining for “gold”!
Crystal mineral veins like the one it had just blasted out were everywhere in this land of heritage! If this wasn’t making a fortune, then what was? Barker, whose face was glowing red, was about to store the mineral vein in its spatial secret treasure when it realized that something wasn’t right.
“Mi-meh!” A Mirage Butterfly appeared on the crystal mineral vein out of thin air.
Chu Feng’s gaze was cold, “Capture him.”
In an instant, the space in the area began to change silently. Barker’s pupils contracted. He summoned countless thunderbolts with his overlord level 6 strength, wanting to blast the mysterious and dangerous Mirage Butterfly into pieces! The space where the thunderbolts were about to land suddenly rippled. After two ripples, all the thunderbolts dissipated. Barker retreated in fear. Just as it was about to escape, it suddenly realized that the space around it had turned into rocks, pressing down on it and making it impossible for it to even move. How was that possible? It was an overlord level 6!
However, in the next instant, it cried out in shock, “Chu Feng?!”
Chu Feng looked down at the foreign race hostage, “Where did the Foreign Races Alliance establish your base?”
The main reason why he asked straight about the base was that the human race and the foreign races had always been enemies. Even in the land of heritage, they would not cease war just like that. Instead, they would slowly gather to fight against each other.
Wan Wanqing did not know about the “base of the Foreign Races Alliance”. In truth, ever since she entered the land of heritage, she had not met anyone else. The only overlord level 3 foreign race that she had met had just been killed by Chu Feng. Therefore, if Chu Feng wanted to know where the enemy’s base was, he could only capture a foreign race and ask.
“Chu Feng, why are you in the land of heritage?” Barker asked in surprise, “It can’t be that you really think we can’t kill you, right? There are at least a hundred overlords here who want to kill you!”
Chu Feng curled his lips up expressionlessly, “You’re courting death.”
Barker, who was being stared at as if it was dead meat, immediately felt its hair stand on end. It struggled with all its might, but to its horror, it realized that it couldn’t display its overlord level 6 strength at all. It was as weak as an ant!
Seeing that the Titan thunder beast before him couldn’t give him any useful information, Chu Feng grew impatient. Receiving its Beastmaster’s will, the Mirage Butterfly responded with a “Mi-meh”.
With that, the space that trapped the foreign race immediately shrank, showing signs of collapsing. Blood containing the power of lightning gushed out from the cracks on its skin, and Barker wailed in pain. After losing a large amount of blood essence containing the power of lightning, the Titan thunder beast’s life force grew weaker and weaker, until it was on its last breath.
At this moment, Chu Feng had already put away the large crystal mineral vein. After all, it was worth over a million points, so he naturally wouldn’t let it go.
“As expected, places with a high concentration of spiritual energy can nurture an incomparably vast amount of resources,” Chu Feng estimated that if the value of this sky-blue planet was measured by points, it would be at least ten trillion. Even if only the various known resources on the planet were counted, it would probably already be worth several trillion! This crystal mineral vein, which was worth over a million points, could only be considered a drop of water in the land of heritage...
As one of the only two people present, Wan Wanqing looked in shock as the Titan thunder beast couldn’t move and could only wait for death, her emotions surging unceasingly.
“Chu Feng is only at the king-level, and his Mirage Butterfly is only at king-level 10. How can it suppress an overlord level 6 foreign race so easily? What exactly did he encounter in the Overlord Reserve Camp? Could it be...” Wan Wanqing racked her brains, but she still could not understand.
When Chu Feng left, he was only at the sovereign level. It was not surprising that he reached the king level in such a short time. After all, it wasn’t like there weren’t any means or resources to level up quickly! What she really couldn’t understand was why could someone who leveled up so quickly still have such terrifying combat strength?! Chu Feng’s combat strength was on a completely different level compared to ordinary people!! Wan Wanqing’s eyes were filled with bewilderment. She was clearly a genius Beastmaster as well. Why was there such a huge gap between her and Chu Feng? And her beast master talent was at the S-grade too...
Chu Feng didn’t look at his senior sister. He only gave an order to the Mirage Butterfly, “Enslave it.”
The term “enslave” referred to mental control. It would make the other party his slave, who would then serve him as their Master and worship him, even willingly die or throw away their dignity for him!
The Mirage Butterfly had the spirit-type talent, and its skills had all been maxed out. It wasn’t difficult for it to achieve an effect similar to “mental enslavement”. In fact, even if a totem didn’t have a certain skill, they could still use other methods to achieve a similar effect. Of course, the Mirage Butterfly was, after all, a beast whose skills had all been maxed out. Even other Mirage Butterflies that came from the same race as it couldn’t do something like this as easily.
After a series of mysterious spiritual modifications, the current “Barker” was no longer the old Barker. Its worldview and understanding had been completely changed. It was now “one of them”. Chu Feng waved his hand, and life energy fell on Barker. The Titan thunder beast that had been on the verge of death was recovered to its peak state. It knelt respectfully to Chu Feng, “My Lord.”
Chu Feng nodded and ordered, “Lead the way immediately. I want to go to the nearest stronghold of the Foreign Races Alliance.”
Barker said respectfully, “Yes, sir.”
Wan Wanqing was speechless when she saw this scene. To think an overlord level six foreign race was kneeling to a human... She didn’t have the heart to even watch!
She turned her head and asked Chu Feng, “What’s this? The Mirage Butterfly can even use mental enslavement?”
Chu Feng smiled, “It comprehended it on its own.”
“Comprehended it on its own?” Wan Wanqing didn’t quite understand, so she changed the topic, “Are you sure you want to go to the foreign races’ strongholds? Every stronghold has peak overlord-level foreign races, powerful existences that are only weaker than totems!”
Chu Feng said casually, “Mm, I’m going over to kill a few of them.”
Wan Wanqing, “???”
Had she heard wrong? Did she have an auditory hallucination?
Slaves couldn’t reject their Master’s orders, so Barker respectfully stated, “Originally, all the foreign race trial-takers had been scattered in different regions within the land of heritage. But now, the five peak overlord foreign races within a radius of 100,000 kilometers have all gathered in the stronghold.”
Wan Wanqing was a little flustered. She pulled Chu Feng anxiously. “There are so many overlords there. It’s best if you don’t go!”
When he heard that there were five of them, the smile on Chu Feng’s face deepened, “Alright, bring me there immediately!”
