Chapter 940 Undercover Race

“Lord Gallius, for the sake of the Empire and the Legion, I have no choice but to do so.”

Bai Pu was the first to accept the task.

As Gallius's expression softened and he smiled, Bai Pu quickly followed up with his own request.

"My lord, I have a request in order to complete this task more efficiently."

“Speak.” Gallius wasn’t as stingy as Karamango; he wouldn’t mind sharing some benefits with his subordinates as long as it was useful to him.

"I want to get my hands on this Naga spy."

Bai Pu pointed to Navia.

Gallius frowned immediately.

“Dio, this Naga may not be very strong, but it is of great importance! I still need to give my wife an explanation, and this Naga is the perfect target for her to vent her anger.”

Gallius said slowly, "If you take her away, what if you're not careful and she escapes..."

"Will not."

Bai Pu clapped his hands, and Naga Captain Kosasis, under the watchful eyes of two guards, slithered to the alchemy laboratory and stood respectfully behind Bai Pu with his hands at his sides.

"Oh right, you also have the ability of a 'Mind Flayer,' I almost forgot."

In Bai Pu's "Autobiographical Account of Noble Advancement," he mentioned that he could control some weak, hostile individuals. In the Black Tide world, this ability is called "Heart Stealer," a very rare bloodline talent.

Looking at Bai Pu, Gallius felt more and more that Bai Pu, his subordinate, was a treasure trove, always surprising him.

"If you can successfully control this Naga spy, I will assign her to you."

Gallius decided to continue investing.

Navia screamed, "No, you can't—"

Bai Pu has already used his pureblood form.

A drop of pure blood landed on Navia's brow and quickly seeped in.

Navia screamed, writhed, and resisted fiercely. This was not only the resistance of being a hostile race, but also Navia's pride as a level 12 leader creature.

However, this drop of pure blood still slowly and resolutely destroyed her will to resist.

Originally, Bai Pu was not strong enough to control the leader; even if he controlled the enhanced elites, he could only control one.

However, the +2 priority granted by the second-grade true meaning prototype greatly raised Bai Pu's potential. Now, with the added bonus of the King-level purple weapon, Bai Pu's base priority has reached the "Enhanced Leader Level" in the Ascension Dimension!
He was already able to control the leader creature, even one that was two levels higher than him.

Navia, in particular, was subjected to all sorts of torture, leaving her mentally weakened and essentially in a state of serious injury, with her will to resist reduced to its lowest point.

Bai Pu successfully took control.

Moreover, while controlling Navia, Bai Pu can still retain control of Naga Captain Korxasis, without having to give up control of the Sand Crab in order to control Korxasis as before.

When Navia raised her head again, the hatred in her eyes had completely turned into obedience.

“I can sense that this spy has a mental connection with you… but those with average strength would find it hard to detect. Very well, you have indeed controlled her mind and body. Now she is yours, Dio. After squeezing out the last bit of value from her, kill her.”

Gallius said with satisfaction.

Bai Pu bowed and accepted the order. In fact, Bai Pu had deliberately exposed the mental connection between him and Navia so that Gallius could sense it.

With Bai Pu now having unlocked the third level of the Heart of Evolution, the relationship between the pureblood servants and Bai Pu is even more obscure and difficult to discern—at least, it is very difficult to discern when they are of equal priority to Bai Pu.

However, Bai Pu needs to conceal his talents.

Imagine if Gallius discovered that Dio's pureblood control was something even he, as a legion commander, couldn't see through...

What will be the consequences?

Gallius will be highly wary of Bai Pu. Because Bai Pu's control is beyond his comprehension, Bai Pu can control those around Gallius, his servants, his cook, his lieutenant… and ultimately, Gallius himself!
This would pose a real threat to Gallius!
Now is just right; Gallius will use White as a sharp, multi-functional scalpel without cutting himself or slipping out of control.

……

As Bai Pu triggered the four-step consecutive quest, the two witches also accepted the quest.

Also receiving the mission were the "messengers" from Bart's team who had stayed by Bai Pu's side...

This messenger was also a Gaia Major General, which just goes to show how worthless Gaia Major Generals are on the Galactic Heart continent. Sometimes the difference between two Major Generals is greater than the difference between a human and a dog.

The "communicator" accepted the mission, and Bart and others from his team also received a notification asking whether they should accept the mission, and they all boarded the ship together.

Bart's team is still very useful.

They have fully recognized their role as "intelligence assistants" and have developed intelligence informants in Tefra, New Ironforge, and among the privateers of nobles of all ranks.

Through Bart's team, Bai Pu could obtain firsthand intelligence on the exploration and development activities of privateers of all sizes in the western part of the Shimmering Plains.

A flood of intelligence leads arrived at Bai Pu's desk like snowflakes.

Whether useful or not, this intelligence is real and complex, and Bai Pu needs to find the truly useful threads from it and connect them into the next mission plan.

"'Coral Guardians' have been appearing in the Shimmering Plains one after another... Hmm, this is indeed an anomaly worth noting."

Bai Pu's mind raced. "Coral Guardians are unique stone monsters of the Coral Rift. They rarely leave the Coral Rift to go elsewhere. Most likely, they've encountered an insurmountable threat."

"However, Coral Rift is a place explored by a large number of noble exploration teams, and there is no intelligence indicating the presence of a large army."

Bai Pu's hand pointed westward, landing in the "Anemone Forest" southwest of Coral Rift Valley.

"It's possible that the Naga army is hiding here."

Bai Pu wasn't looking for one or two Nagas, but rather a Naga army of tens of thousands! Such a massive scale would easily leave its mark, which is why it was possible to deduce its presence through intelligence.

Bai Pu stood up and called over the two shamans.

"We are ready to set off, our destination is the 'Sea Anemone Forest' southwest of New Iron City."

Both the elder and younger witches were excited and looking forward to it.

"This series of missions should be coming to an end soon, right? As long as we find the main force of the Naga army and guide the Imperial fleet to bomb them, we can reap the rewards," Wu Mingyue said.

"My thoughts are similar. However, we need to act quickly; this is clearly a race against time."

Bai Pu said in a deep voice, "Do you remember that Gallius said I was the most promising of the three people he was looking for? This means there are two other Awakened Ones... most likely two teams of Awakened Ones, also on an undercover mission, and they're ahead of us!"
