The Monster is Coming

Chapter 326 Eliminating Harm for the People, the Path to Becoming a Monarch

Upon seeing the private message from the little mage, Yu Chuan's team was stunned.

Because this game ID is just too famous.

The Spirit Breath Battle, which caused a sensation on the forums back then, saw players enjoying farming Sacrifice Power throughout, but they stumbled when they encountered their own fellow countrymen.

The little wizard proved with his actions that when traveling, one should be wary of fellow villagers.

His actions are still being brought up and criticized today.

First, players join the Spirit Breath Clan, an enemy of the player faction, and lead their Super Beast Legion to slaughter players.

Later, they even resorted to stratagems.

Under the circumstances at the time, the two thrones of the Spirit Breath Clan, along with their super beast legions, joined forces to block the spatial passage.

Players face multiple challenges if they want to farm sacrificial power in the Spirit World.

First, there's the high packet loss rate across spatial channels; even before entering the game, there's a 50% chance of being directly sent to the "black room" (a term used to describe a game where players enter a one-hour resurrection cooldown).

Secondly, once you exit the spatial passage, you will face an encirclement and attack by the Super Beast Legion.

Even if they escape, they will still face pursuit by the Super Beast Legion's hunting squads.

Those who survived were all powerful player teams that gave the Super Beast Legion a major headache.

The little mage's schemes were extremely ruthless. Knowing his players' greed for high-value resources, he used profit as bait to set up a trap.

He stated on the forum that he triggered a hidden quest and fought using the Blood King's memories without knowing the specifics of the situation, which led to the disaster of attacking his fellow villager.

The little mage posted a tearful message and also shared related videos.

The problem is that the video doesn't show the little mage's inner thoughts. Is he going with the flow and following the hidden storyline, or has he temporarily lost his player memories, and is it the Blood King's memories that are driving him to act according to the Blood King's ideas?

While other players can ask the guide questions, the guide will not answer questions that involve other players.

The specific reasons are not hard for forum players to understand, as they involve players' personal privacy.

Each player's information is protected to a certain extent, just like in real life, where you can't pry into someone's privacy without their permission.

The guidance in the monster world also follows similar rules.

When players ask questions about other players' specific information, motivations, or other privacy-related matters, the guide will remain silent in order to protect the rights of each player and prevent the misuse of information.

Therefore, players can only rely on their own reasoning and speculation to find out the truth behind the Little Mage incident, making the truth elusive.

However, Little Mage's post to prove his innocence and his willingness to compensate the players who were killed still received a lot of positive feedback from players.

I'm willing to believe that the little mage joined the villain's camp without his knowledge.

The Little Mage's subsequent decision to take out the Super Beast Legion's resource vault and distribute all the resources to other players completely ignited the enthusiasm of the forum players.

This move silenced the players who were still debating the "conspiracy theory".

The forum's sentiment immediately reversed.

But no one expected that this would be a trap.

Through a conspiracy, all the players wandering in the monster world are gathered in the ruins of a city, and then wiped out in one fell swoop.

He swept all the villagers out of the Spirit World in one fell swoop.

As a result, the little mage was completely labeled a traitor.

Although the little mage would occasionally post explanations on the forum, he was met with a barrage of angry rebukes.

The stunning reversal of wiping out the entire group completely nailed the Little Mage to the pillar of shame in the player camp.

Among the legendary players on the forum, Little Mage is infamous.

Although his combat power ranks at the top of the forum leaderboard, no player wants to have any interaction with the Little Mage.

Many newly qualified players had previously participated in Monster World as guests, so they were aware of this character.

Veteran and new players alike share the same attitude towards the Little Mage.

Upon seeing the private message from Little Mage requesting to buy their item, Yu Chuan and his team members fell silent.

Direct refusal is obviously the safest option.

If other players find out that they are cooperating with Little Wizard, there will be endless trouble.

Back then, Little Mage offended at least tens of thousands of players.

Many players have now become powerful figures or formed strong fixed teams... and their friends and family members all regard the Little Mage as an enemy.

Due to nepotism, the Little Mage is practically an enemy of everyone.

After a long while, the team members, looking at each other in bewilderment, remained silent.

The captain's gaze swept over his teammates, and with curiosity, he typed a line of text in the private chat box: How much are you offering?

Seeing that the captain actually replied, the assassin in the team couldn't help but complain:

"Captain, I've already taken screenshots. I'll post them on the forum later. If you don't spend 100,000 sacrificial energy to bribe me, you're as good as dead."

The captain glanced sideways at the assassin and grinned:

“You are my dearest friend and family. If something happens to me, you won’t be able to escape either.”

Just as they were about to argue, the little mage sent another message:
"How about 30 sacrificial power?"

After a moment's thought, the captain typed a line of text in the private chat box:
"80."

Seeing their captain make such an outrageous demand, the teammates couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Captain, you're treating this little mage like a pig to be slaughtered!" Yu Chuan joked with a laugh.

Compared to his unsuspecting teammates, he had heard the truth behind the Spirit Breath Battle from StarNet. If the little mage's behavior were to wait until the day when everyone ascends, he would probably be criticized even more harshly.

"Don't laugh, I'm doing this to rid the people of a scourge," the captain retorted seriously.

Upon hearing this, his teammates couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Just when they thought the little mage would refuse, the other party sent a reply:
"Deal. Give me the coordinates, I'll receive the goods first and then transfer the sacrificial power to you."

The team was surprised to see that the little mage was really willing to give 800,000, and then shook their heads.

Little Mage's reputation on the forum is negative.

If we give the soul beast seed first, we probably won't even get a single point of sacrificial power.

The "Feast at Hongmen" from back then is still fresh in my mind. The price of being honest with the little monk is most likely to be being tricked.

The captain then sent a message:
"You must know your reputation on the forum. If I give you the goods first, I won't be able to sell any of them. But if I give you the sacrificial power first, I might consider selling to you."

"I'm afraid you'll take the money but not deliver the goods."

"I was worried you wouldn't pay after receiving the goods."

The dialogue reached a stalemate.

Without a trading system available, transactions based on mutual distrust are difficult to facilitate.

Just as the captain was about to close the private chat, block the little mage, and refuse to take the job.

The little mage sent another private message:

"How about this, I'll give you a deposit of 30 sacrificial power first, and then transfer the remaining 50 sacrificial power to you after I receive the goods. How does that sound? The deposit price is enough to buy this soul beast seed, so you won't lose out."

Seeing that the little mage was willing to give up his power first, the captain's face immediately showed pain, and he turned his gaze to his teammates:

"That's 30 sacrificial power, or even 80. What do you think?"

"We won't sell. If our act of selling his soul beast is exposed on the forum, how will we ever be able to continue our business?"

“Sell it! This is 800,000. It’s like ridding the people of a scourge. This little mage is really rich.”

Teammates have differing opinions on whether to sell him.

Ultimately, a vote was held to determine whether to sell the Soul Beast Seed to the Little Mage.

Yu Chuan is now a member of the team and has a vote.

Faced with the prospect of personal gain, the team members all appeared to be in immense pain.

80 sacrificial power—this price is comparable to the rule fragments that a certain resentful team once listed for sale at a low price on the trading house.

Apart from Little Mage, no other player could afford such a high price.

Ultimately, the voting results came out, and they decided to take the risk and secretly sell the soul beast seeds to the little mage.

The captain then sent a private message:
"Transfer the money, I'll sell it to you."

The next second, the little mage's 30 transfers entered the captain's inventory balance.

"Let's run away," a teammate urged at this moment.

“I can’t run away a little bit, I’m not that kind of person.” The captain’s eyes showed both the joy of gaining sacrificial power and the helplessness in the face of risk.

"What I'm curious about is how the little mage retrieves the goods. He dares not go back to the newbie village now, because once he goes in, he won't be able to come out. How can he get to the Senluo Forest region?" Yu Chuan asked curiously.

"I don't know about that; how he picks up the goods is his problem," the captain shook his head.

The question was quickly answered when the little mage sent a message:

"Send me the spatial coordinates. Come pick up the goods within 2 hours. Just place the soul beast seed at the coordinates. Don't choose a location inside or near the spatial node."

This answer made the team realize that the little mage probably possessed the ability to jump between spaces.

And it turned out exactly as they had predicted.

Half an hour after the captain provided the spatial coordinates, a tiny crack was torn open in the sky, which continued to expand over time.

The team members all retreated.

Suddenly, the soul beast seed placed in the center of the open space trembled, and an invisible gravitational field spread out from the spatial rift, causing the pebbles and fallen leaves on the ground to slowly float into the air.

Then, under this invisible force, the soul beast seed shot towards the spatial rift.

It was swallowed up the moment it came into contact with the crack.

The crack then began to shrink rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to normal as if nothing had happened.

The team members looked at each other, all seeing shock in each other's eyes.

The little mage's slight action made them realize that this public enemy's strength had significantly increased.

At least for now, Little Wizard is the only player who can skillfully master spatial technology in the Monster World.

"Do you think we'll still receive the final payment?" The captain asked, resting his chin on his hand and gazing thoughtfully at the spot where the crack in the sky had disappeared.

"Based on my understanding of Little Mage's character, the deposit is the full amount, and there's no point in even thinking about the final payment."

"This guy is really rich. He gave us 30 so easily. Isn't he afraid we'll run away with it?"

"It would be good if we could make 30. As long as we make a profit, that's fine."

Just as the team was discussing whether they would still receive the final payment, a challenger's notification popped up on the light screen floating in front of the captain:
[Challenger's Hint: Player "Little Mage" has privately transferred 50 Sacrificial Power to you (already received).]

The team members: ……

They never expected that the little mage would actually settle the final payment.

"Although he's ruthless and heartless, I didn't expect him to be so considerate." The captain gave a thumbs-up to the air, then looked down and swept his gaze over the rest of the team.

"When it comes to splitting the profits, brothers, keep this matter to yourselves. Don't mention it to anyone in the future, just pretend it never happened."

Everyone nodded.

They are all participants and beneficiaries in selling soul beast seeds; spreading this around will only cause them trouble.

The group of veteran players that Little Mage messed with back then were not to be trifled with.

This behavior will inevitably earn him the label of a traitor from the forum community, and he will face severe consequences wherever he goes in the future.

……

The Rumbling Continent.

The rising sun pierced through the broken clouds, gilding the earth with gold.

From the air, the Flower Plain stretches for thousands of miles, a sea of ​​flowers in various colors, undulating and swaying in the wind like waves in the ocean.

The newly built city is like a dagger piercing into the heart of the flower sea.

The warriors of the Spirit Breath Clan work day and night here, striving to build the city's defense system.

From a bird's-eye view, the city is not made of cold steel and stone.

Instead, it was covered by natural plants and living tissues that resembled flesh and blood.

The enormous vines coiled like a dragon's spine to form a city wall, their surface covered with a hard biological cuticle that gleamed with a bronze-like luster in the sunlight.

The city's many charging towers are formed from living super beasts, with fluorescent sap flowing inside like blood, which lights up on its own at dusk.

In times of war, it can rise from the ground and transform into a war behemoth.

The scene swoops down from high above, passing over Spirit Warriors who are manipulating giant beetles to transport building materials.

The camera finally focuses on the highest point of the city wall.

A lone figure stood atop the city wall, his blood-red robe fluttering in the wind, the dark gold patterns on the hem resembling burning flames.

Her long, blood-red hair was tied back, with golden threads wrapped around the ends, and a mark symbolizing the Spirit King's lineage was branded on her forehead.

His face was stern, with sharp brow bones, and his dark golden pupils gleamed in the morning light.

And he is the master of this living city, the strongest monarch of the Spirit Breath Clan at this stage, and the only arbiter of this sea of ​​flowers: Little Mage.

He rested one hand on the living vines of the city wall, gazing down at the new city under construction.

An accident a year and a half ago made him one of the eight kings of the Spirit Breath Clan.

From initial resistance to current acceptance.

From player to Blood King of the Spirit Breath Clan, his heart has traversed a tortuous journey.

This was a path he had never imagined.

Initially, all he wanted was to escape.

He wanted to quickly return to the player camp and wash away his sins.

He considered himself a player, someone who came to play games for entertainment, not someone who wanted to be the king of NPCs.

But many questions remained unanswered, and ultimately, they chose to accept their fate.

But accepting one's fate is not the same as resigning oneself to it.

However, his mindset changed during his time with the Spirit Breath Clan.

Looking at these Spirit Warriors struggling to survive in the cracks of the monster world... he was, after all, a person with feelings.

Especially six months ago, when the Spirit Breath Clan was attacked by the descending forces, the image of the old priests dragging their broken bodies in front of him, who was seriously injured, and burning themselves with all their might, deeply moved him.

Those hunched backs resembled old trees about to break.

When he woke up, he found himself surrounded by the Spirit Breath Clan's healers.

They used the most precious medicinal herbs to save him.

Because he is the king of the tribe, he should enjoy the tribe's most precious resources, but he should also bear the responsibility for the tribe's future.

He had always been planning how to return to Emperor's Tomb Village and rejoin the players' camp.

But many things have happened over the years that have changed his mind. For example, one dawn, he encountered a Spirit Breath Clan team returning from their exploration at the foot of the city walls.

The Spirit Warriors, carrying their packs, walked by silently, each with thick scabs of blood on their armor.

A boy with a broken horn walked at the back, carrying the urn containing the bones of his fallen comrade in his arms, the cold morning dew wetting the leader's cloak.

At this moment, these spirit warriors appeared so vivid in the eyes of the little mage.

His initial resistance gradually dissipated through contact, and he began to try to integrate into the community.

Little by little, day by day, it accumulates.

One night, as he stood on the city wall, he realized that he was actually seriously planning the development path of the Spirit Breath Clan for the next ten years, and he was shocked to find that he was no longer a passerby.

Now, he rejoices in the happiness of his people and is enraged by the invasion of his enemies.

Many of the Spirit Breath Clan members he once regarded as mere data streams are now living, breathing beings whose names he can recall.

As the morning breeze blew, he pulled himself out of his thoughts, his fingertips unconsciously tracing the vines on the city wall.

Below, several spirit cubs spotted him on the city wall and excitedly waved their arms at him.

He smiled slightly, raised his hand to condense several glowing orbs, and let them fall, causing the children to exclaim in surprise.

"Your Majesty!" The childish voice was particularly clear in the morning light. A spirit child raised his muddy little hand and offered him a freshly picked wildflower.

Seeing this, the little mage nodded slightly.

After arriving in the monster world, the Spirit Breath Clan's reproductive seal was completely unlocked, and these children are the first generation of the Spirit Breath Clan in the monster world.

They look like they're five or six years old, but they're actually only one year old.

Nourished by abundant spiritual energy, the new generation possesses physical qualities far superior to the previous generation.

But in the monster world, that's far from enough.

The Spirit Breath race is still at the very bottom of the monster world, living in constant fear and trembling, as any sudden crisis could lead to their destruction.

The only way for the Spirit Breath race to secure their future is to join the player faction.

Even if it exists in the form of an NPC, it can still help the Spirit Breath Clan escape their survival predicament.

He had inquired about this issue with the guide, asking if the Spirit Breath Clan could join the player's faction.

The guidance was vague, suggesting that perhaps the current spiritual energy was too weak to be worthy of joining the player's faction.

The guidance was harsh, but it also gave him a glimmer of hope.

Perhaps, once the Spirit Breath Clan grows strong enough, they can enter the player's camp as NPCs.

This is also the core direction for the future development of the Spirit Breath Clan in his eyes.

Continuously improve your life rank, break through layers of life constraints, until you evolve into someone who is "worthy" in the eyes of the guide.

He didn't know how long it would take, but he would keep working towards that goal.

Recently, the core infrastructure project in the second phase of the city's expansion is the "Spirit Absorption Array," a large array that covers the entire Spirit Breath City and continuously draws in external spiritual energy to nourish the city.

Let the spiritual inhabitants of the city thrive under the nourishment of the spiritual energy of the monster world, so that each generation will be stronger than the last.

Creating rules, evolving life, building cities, mining resources... he truly took on the responsibilities of a "king" and became the helmsman of this race.

This shift in mindset led to a change in the way he thought about problems.

Whenever he gazed at the distant, gray horizon, he could sense a crisis lurking in the shadows, and he was always worried about it.

During their last migration after abandoning their new homeland, the encounter with the Killing Axe Beasts left one-fifth of the Spirit Breath Clan warriors forever trapped in the Flower Sea World, and a new crisis could strike at any moment.

Every day now is spent preparing for battle.

Fortunately, he's a player.

This identity has given him endless possibilities.

He listed the resources mined by the Spirit Breath Clan on the trading house, exchanging them for sacrificial power to purchase development resources and even war resources such as recovery potions.

Secondly, he has already planned the breeding farm in the second phase of the construction of Lingxi City.

In the future, mass production of various spiritual ingredients needed by players will become a major source of income.

However, the cost of sacrificial offerings was too high and was never enough, and the investment in creating the rules was also a bottomless pit.

He needs to expand the channels for resource revenue generation for the development of the Spirit Breath Clan.

Just recently, the Spirit Breath Clan's exploration legion discovered a non-node resource mining area in a valley north of the Illusion Flower Plain.

This resource point produces more than 20 types of spirit ore, with the lowest quality being level 2 spirit ore.

The Spirit Breath Clan paid a heavy price to take control of this resource mining area.

Three super beast legions have suffered more than half their casualties.

Fortunately, they mined a space-type spirit ore in this mining area: Star Pattern Ore.

This is a mineral that shimmers with starlight throughout, and when gently tapped, it produces an ethereal sound similar to a wind chime.

Each naturally formed star-patterned ore has fine silver lines on its surface, and the analysis shows that it is a level 3 spirit ore of special quality.

Although its production is far less than that of its own Kongyuan Peak domain node, it is still a very rare type of spirit ore.

Listing it on the trading house can fetch a considerable price, since the most expensive spirit ore on the trading house is the space-type ore.

This type of spirit ore can bring more sacrificial power benefits to the Spirit Breath Clan's development.

However, as mining progressed, he discovered that this spiritual ore deposit suffered from severe spatial erosion radiation.

This results in the worm-like "biological mining machines" being used only for a short period of time, with most of them dying from exhaustion within three days.

The development speed of mining machines is limited, making it impossible to expand the output efficiency of the mining area.

The high mortality rate also turns mining machines into consumables, and this loss further reduces resource returns.

To solve this problem, the little wizard's first thought was to improve the mining machine so that it could adapt to the spatial radiation energy in the mine.

However, optimization and improvement require a long process.

So he thought of looking for solutions to the problem through trading platforms, forums, and other channels.

While browsing through the posts, he came across a post by his "pig teammate" selling soul beast seeds.

As a veteran player, he naturally knew what a Soul Beast was.

This is a rule-derived life form that can devour its target and then inherit all of the target's non-rule-based abilities.

The post selling soul beasts reminded him of a special life form called "Firefly Spider" found in resource mines.

This creature is somewhat similar to an early iron beetle.

They have evolved the ability to adapt to spatial erosion in resource mines, allowing them to survive and move around inside for extended periods.

If the hatched soul beast inherits the life structure of the firefly spider by devouring it, and then devours a biological mining machine, it can gain mining capabilities while ignoring the radiation damage from deep within the mine.

Although a single soul beast can't significantly increase mining efficiency, its advantage lies in its ability to grow indefinitely.

It is entirely possible to transform it into a high-yield super mining machine by absorbing and evolving its power, thus continuously generating resource benefits for the development of the Spirit Breath Clan.

Each time a space-type spirit ore is mined, it can be sold for a considerable price at the trading house.

This investment seems like a sure thing, a guaranteed profit.

This is also why he took the initiative to contact his "pig teammate" to buy one.

But he wasn't sure if the other party was willing to sell.

He has a terrible reputation on the forum, and many players are unwilling to have anything to do with him.

Back then, we were able to purchase rule fragments directly through the trading platform, without needing to connect to it.

However, since he couldn't store the Soul Beast Seeds in his spatial inventory, he had to take them himself if he wanted to buy them, so he couldn't hide his identity.

Secondly, even if you could buy it, it would cost several times more than what ordinary players pay.

After all, the other party also took the risk of being antagonized by other players.

Fortunately, he eventually managed to purchase a soul beast seed for 800,000 sacrificial power.

The soul beast seed has now been thrown into the blood pool and is absorbing blood energy to hatch.

According to the instructions, it won't be long before a soul beast cub is conceived.

He had already embedded the control soul in advance and imprinted the control mark in the soul beast seed, so he would soon be able to start the cultivation plan for the super mining machine.

Looking up at the blood-red banner fluttering in the wind, the little mage took to the air and headed towards the blood pool.

A day later, the blood pool boiled.

The originally dark blood water began to glow with a ghostly green light, and huge bubbles kept rising to the surface of the pool.

The little mage stood by the pool, his dark golden pupils reflecting the violently churning water.

By manipulating the life soul, he could clearly perceive that the life structure of the soul beast was undergoing drastic changes.

Suddenly, the entire pool of blood fell still.

next second.

boom!
A beam of eerie green light shot into the sky, from which a soul beast nearly a meter tall emerged and floated in the air.

The spirit beast that appeared was formed from condensed dark green clouds and mist. Its body structure was between half-real and half-illusory, and the energy ripples around it were like the phantom of chains. An extremely evil aura was overwhelming.

The little mage raised his hand and released his telekinetic power, capturing the firefly spider that had been imprisoned nearby.

He used his telekinesis to restrain the firefly spider's movements and slowly handed it to the soul beast.

In the blink of an eye, the soul beast, under his control, pounced on the firefly spider like a hungry wild animal.

The moment it made contact with its prey, the soul beast's energy-formed body suddenly split open with a hideous gash, like a gaping maw.

The firefly spider tried to struggle, but it was unable to move an inch under the suppression of its telekinetic powers.

Then, the soul beast's misty body, as if alive, burrowed into the firefly spider's joints, and the eerie green energy, like countless tiny tentacles, seeped in through the firefly spider's compound eyes, mouthparts, and even its breathing holes.

Spiderweb-like green light patterns began to appear on the firefly spider's carapace.

Click!

The sound of bones cracking rang out in rapid succession.

The firefly spider's body swelled and contracted unnaturally, and the flesh and blood under its carapace churned as if boiling.

The eight compound eyes were completely covered by a ghostly green energy.

The devouring process proceeded from the inside out, and the firefly spider's originally hard shell began to soften, revealing chain-like energy patterns identical to those of the soul beast's main body.

As the last part of the soul beast's body turned into green mist and completely disappeared into the firefly spider's body, it suddenly convulsed violently.

With a series of crisp cracking sounds, the firefly spider's body began to reassemble.

When it stood up again, it had completely transformed into the form of a firefly spider, but it exuded the same evil aura as the soul beast.

However, this characteristic subsequently disappeared.

With the naked eye alone, it's impossible to tell that this firefly spider is a soul beast possessing another body.

It lay docilely on the ground, its abdomen rising and falling rhythmically, even its breathing was identical to that of a firefly spider.

It's no wonder that the Soul Return Clan is one of the strongest opponents of the Reverse Tide Legion.

If this thing were placed in a small world, even one of them could destroy a world, eventually transforming into a super life form that devours the memories of the entire world.

But the most terrifying thing about soul beasts is never their possession and devouring, but their ability to expand infinitely.

In theory, there is no upper limit to the growth potential of a soul beast.

By devouring 100 wise men, one can acquire the wisdom of those 100 wise men, and the original memories will not be corrupted by excessive memories.

But in the monster world, even spirit beasts, which are life forms of extraordinary power, are reduced to mere expendable resources.

The little mage raised his hand again and grabbed, pulling a two-meter-long mining machine to the soul beast with his telekinesis.

The mining machine is shaped like a worm, with its skin covered in hardened bio-armor. It has no eyes on its head, only a spiral mouthpart containing thousands of tiny tentacles.

The mining process is like a tunnel boring machine, which can continuously swallow and excavate forward. Its stomach can also break down impurities in the ore and perform preliminary refining of the ore.

But this ability is meaningless in the monster world.

The spirit ore in the monster world is of extremely high quality, so the step of removing impurities by the mining machine can be completely omitted.

Under his control, the soul beast reverted to its original form, its misty body surging and covering the surface of the mining machine.

The mining machine, in pain, instinctively opened its mandibles, and thousands of tentacles danced wildly, but it could not stop the soul beast from rapidly encroaching upon it.

The eerie green energy seeped into the gaps in the mining machine's armor, causing the hard bio-armor to soften and change color at a visible speed.

Before long, it was possessed and devoured by a soul beast.

Analysis revealed that the Soul Beast's hunting level had increased by 1 level compared to its birth, reaching level 27.

Soul beasts now possess two life characteristics.

The little mage grabbed the soul beast and flew with it into the blood pool.

Next, he plans to put the soul beasts into practical use.

Let's see if the Soul Beast in its mining machine form can be completely immune to the radiation energy erosion in the resource mine.

A gust of wind swept past their ears as the little mage, accompanied by his soul beast, transformed into a streak of crimson light and landed at the entrance of the Star Mark Valley mining area 20 minutes later.

Inside the deep mine, visible purple energy mist surged, and radiation crystals condensed on the rock walls shimmered faintly. This was a deadly environment that even the elite warriors of the Spirit Breath Clan could not withstand for long.

"Go." He released his hand, and the mining machine form that the soul beast had transformed into immediately floated up.

The little mage used his telekinesis to support his body, and followed behind after activating the Eagle-Headed Demon's perception.

After a long while, the mining machine slowly flew to the depths of the mine.

From a sensory perspective, the dense spatial radiation energy, upon contact with the surface of a soul beast, automatically diverts as if repelled by some force.

This is precisely the unique advantage that only the firefly spider possesses due to its life structure.

The experiment was a success, so the 800,000 sacrificial offerings were well spent.

Next, all that's needed is to cultivate this soul beast into a super mining machine, which will then be able to continuously produce spirit ore for the development of the Spirit Breath Clan.

As for the mining efficiency of soul beasts, it can be rapidly improved through devouring and evolution.

Next, he planned to take the soul beast to the Illusion Flower Plain to find monsters to devour.

Just as they were about to set off, an idea suddenly popped into the little mage's mind.

Can one give their own super beast to a soul beast to devour, allowing the soul beast to inherit the super beast's power and life form?

His super beast, "The End Beast," is usually idle and is only used during wartime.

If the idea is feasible, the soul beasts that inherit the power of the super beasts can be sent to the mining area to extract resources in peacetime, and can also transform into the form of the final behemoth to merge with themselves in battle during wartime.

It can even be made into a special life soul that combines: the power of a super beast, a pseudo-rule mark (a mark derived from the rules of the Spirit World), and the power of a soul beast.

This is equivalent to having a special pet that can devour, possess, and optimize genetic evolution.

With his heart pounding, the little mage abruptly looked up at the guiding water sphere:
"Guide, help!"

【put.】
