Chapter 677 Shaping Fear

Having shaken off those two idiots, Bai Qi continued on his way, and led by the guards, arrived at Xiao Mu's office.

"Bai Qi, what brings you here so suddenly? Has there been any progress in your research on the dead beasts?"

Xiao Mu put down the documents in his hand and asked.

Because it involved the power of death, Xiao Mu did not assign the research task on the dead beasts to anyone else, but instead entrusted it entirely to Bai Qi.

After all, Bai Qi is a legend, possesses a pet beast with the power of death, and is also a research talent, making him the most suitable candidate.

Whether others can figure it out is another matter; let's not let the deadly virus corrupt us.

"Not yet, I need to get the dead beasts closer to the source of the infection."

Bai Qi shook his head and said, "If possible, let Xihai hurry up and search. Letting the dead beasts roam will not do them any good."

"The Western Sea is already working hard, but the dead beasts are contagious to those below the Emperor level, so they are also facing difficulties."

Xiao Mu nodded slightly and said.

"Too."

Bai Qi understood and asked, "By the way, senior, is there still no progress with the Eight Heroes Gathering?"

"They are very tight-lipped, and we can't force them to search their memories, so we can only rely on the slow, persistent effort of the ultrasonic dolphins."

Xiao Mu sighed and said, "I have to admit that the tribes haven't been living in vain all these years; their methods of binding human souls have become increasingly sophisticated."

Bai Qi couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this. Humans started by rebelling against slaves and have now come to contend with tribes. It's unrealistic to say that the tribes aren't shrewd enough.

But the fact that it has stumped so many legends shows that this talisman is truly powerful.

"By the way, Bai Qi, you're quite knowledgeable about runes, why don't you go take a look?"

Xiao Mu smiled and said, "Actually, I've wanted to come find you for a long time, but the matter of the dead beast is more important, so I didn't bother you."

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Bai Qi nodded slightly, a curious glint in his eyes.

Come to think of it, if it weren't for the Blackwater Tribe's soul weapon, Bai Qi probably wouldn't have been able to research the Spirit Control Ball so quickly. Maybe he could have researched something else this time.

With a hint of anticipation, Bai Qi arrived at the place where the Eight Heroes were imprisoned.

At this moment, the supersonic dolphin was constantly emitting sounds that were inaudible to some people, gradually altering the consciousness of the Eight Orochi.

Even though the Supersonic Piglet carefully controls its power, it occasionally triggers the talismans within the souls of the Eight Warriors, bringing them back to their senses.

"It's fortunate that I didn't accept the tribe's invitation to cooperate, otherwise, if they had implanted such a spell, Xihai would probably have become a slave to the tribe forever."

Seeing this, the supersonic dolphin temporarily dispelled its skills and sighed helplessly.

"It seems this talisman is quite sensitive."

Just then, Bai Qi, who had been watching from the sidelines for a while, couldn't help but speak up, saying, "Didn't you consider finding someone else to suppress the spell, so you could brainwash me?"

Upon hearing this, the supersonic dolphin turned to look at Bai Qi and said, "I've already tried it. It's very difficult. Unless the two people are of one mind, the spell will be triggered if one of them has a problem."

"Moreover, the impression left by the Blackwater Python was too deep. Even if they could suppress the talisman, they could not wash away this impression in a short time."

"Is it that complicated?"

Bai Qi frowned slightly upon hearing this and asked, "Can you see the runes engraved on their souls?"

The supersonic dolphin is also a psychic creature and a legendary one, so this shouldn't be a problem.

"Sure, but we sea creatures don't know anything about runes, so they won't be of much help to me."

"You haven't done the research, but I have."

Bai Qi shrugged, took out an electronic tablet, handed it to the supersonic pig, and said, "Please draw the talismans you see as accurately as possible."

The supersonic dolphin remained silent upon hearing this, feeling as if it had been mocked, but it still obediently drew the talisman it had sensed and handed it to Bai Qi.

"I see... They even added a structure that amplifies emotions? No wonder it was so difficult to deal with."

Bai Qi studied it carefully for a long time and finally figured out some of the trick.

Because of the Dharma Emperor's insights, Bai Qi's rune skills also improved significantly, and he also mastered many runes that are no longer in circulation.

Among them is this rune that amplifies emotions.

"Amplify emotions? Runes can do that?"

The supersonic dolphin was somewhat surprised to hear this. Of course, he had heard that humans, including tribes, could unleash greater power through runes. However, these delicate tasks were too difficult for the enormous sea beasts, and there was no real need for them. Therefore, the art of runes had never developed in the sea beast community.

But now it seems that their waters are really a bit outdated.

"No wonder your sea area is so vast, yet your development is not as strong as that of the tribes. There's definitely a reason for that."

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi couldn't help but complain, but then felt a wave of fear wash over him.

Fortunately, the sea area has not been developed; otherwise, given its abundant resources and biodiversity, humans would probably be out of a job.

"Yes, yes, we will definitely learn more from the Federation."

Hearing Bai Qi's sarcasm, the supersonic pig didn't get angry at all, but instead responded very humbly.

Well, it feels like we've messed up future generations.

Bai Qi twitched the corner of his mouth and continued studying the talismans.

As Shuk said, this talisman is quite complex, and forcibly breaking through it is no less difficult than an emperor facing a legend head-on.

So either you have to spend time breaking the spell, or you have to let the supersonic dolphin continue to grind it down slowly.

"However, with the existence of structures that amplify emotions, making these people forget about the Blackwater Python will be extremely difficult, unless..."

Bai Qi pondered for a while, looking at Baji Jie who was unconscious with his eyes closed, and suddenly thought of something.

"Perhaps, this will work?"

……

trial room.

The eight heroes, who had been locked up together, woke up one after another, only to find that their companions were no longer around, and that they were all wearing black helmets.

"What do you want to do to us? We've said it before, no matter what you do, we will not betray Lord Blackwater!"

The man with the slicked-back hair glared fiercely at the camera in front of him and roared.

"This guy has really good energy."

Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn't help but chuckle, then looked at Nicholas and Cordyceps beside him and asked, "Have you memorized the specific operating procedures?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely make them feel what the majesty of a dragon is."

Nicholas patted his chest forcefully and said.

"Rest assured, sir, I guarantee that I will make Lord Nicholas a symbol of fear."

Cordyceps, equally serious, replied.

"Very good, let's begin."

Bai Qi grinned upon hearing this, glancing at the Eight Heroes who had been separated and imprisoned, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Then I shall begin. Please prepare yourself, Mr. Nicholas."

Cordyceps adjusted its state, and the light of the Azure Sun shone from above the heads of the Eight Heroes, turning their cells green.

"Dream-based skills, everyone be careful!"

The man with the slicked-back hair immediately sensed something was wrong, and without caring whether it would be of any use, he let out a roar.

It was obvious that Bai Qi and his group would not allow this kind of information transmission to happen. No matter how much the Eight Heroes roared, they could not notify the neighbors. Instead, they only made themselves more agitated.

"Now!"

Finally, Cordyceps seized the opportunity, and a black eye appeared behind him, staring intently down at Hachiji.

In an instant, the eight heroes simultaneously felt their vision go black, and they were transported from their original prison cells to a pitch-black world.

"It really is a dream-based skill!"

The man with the slicked-back hair became increasingly vigilant, having already guessed Bai Qi and his group's plans.

"Trying to extract information through dreams? Dream on!"

The man with the slicked-back hair snorted coldly, then surprisingly closed his eyes and began to sense things.

Gradually, the once silent dream began to echo with the presence of other figures, and even some began to flicker – these were none other than the other eight heroes.

"Lord Blackwater is indeed powerful; this dream has become a platform for us to connect with each other."

Seeing this, the man with the slicked-back hair showed a hint of respect. Looking at his companion who was gradually taking shape in front of him, he cautiously tested him for a while. Only after confirming that the problem was not wrong did he feel relieved.

"Bai Qi is indeed a genius, actually thinking of using this method. It's a pity he doesn't know that the souls of the Eight Heroes have long been linked by the contract. He's just shooting himself in the foot by doing this."

A baby-faced boy said with a mocking expression, "Now that the souls of the eight of us are gathered here together, we can summon the power of Orochi to break free from the shackles."

"No, this is the headquarters of the Deep Sea Alliance. Even if we break free of the restrictions, we may not be able to leave."

The man with the slicked-back hair shook his head and said, "Besides, don't forget the strange runes Bai Qi used before; we might not be a match for them."

Upon hearing this, the Eight Heroes fell silent.

"The only way now is for us to completely abandon our human identity and surrender our bodies and minds to Lord Blackwater. Perhaps then we can truly break through to the legendary level and avoid being broken from our beast form."

"But I won't be able to turn back into a human again..."

Upon hearing this, the Eight Heroes all raised their heads, their expressions a complex mix of hesitation and anticipation.

They were originally beast tamers of the Federation, but because they lacked talent, they joined the tribe and successfully improved their strength.

But I still feel a little guilty about letting them completely transform into another species.

But these hesitations lasted only a moment before the Eight Heroes made their decision.

"Even if we're going to die, we should die with dignity. Let's take a gamble!"

The eight heroes exchanged glances, made a decision together, and then sat down in a circle to simultaneously visualize the image of the black water.

Gradually, eight large snakes with different attributes appeared behind them and gradually merged together, turning into the shape of black water. Meanwhile, the souls of the group began to change little by little.

This means they have completely abandoned their inner pride, allowing the bondage seal to transform their souls.

Once the transformation is complete, they will be true orcs.

Finally, just as their soul transformation was halfway complete, the phantom of the black water suddenly became lifelike, and the Eight Heroes immediately showed expressions of joy.

After being bound by slave contracts, they can connect with the Blackwater just like pet beasts, and can also borrow the power of the Blackwater, which increases their chances of escaping.

Roar! ! !

Just then, to the horror of the Eight Heroes, a giant dragon descended from the sky, pinning the phantom of Blackwater to the ground. Its sharp fangs pierced Blackwater's head, and with a powerful tug, it tore it off.

"Bah! How dare a mere worm run wild on my territory! Die, you bastard!"
