Chapter 628: Chapter 365: Wood Spirit Tribe
Woo——
The newly established Soul Contract enabled the dim-witted Giant Da Kun to instantly understand Feng Qing’an’s intentions. After letting out a lengthy roar, it plunged deep into the sea to pursue the merfolk.
Feng Qing’an’s feet separated from the colossus’s body as it sank. Black Mountain, which had been sinking with him, turned its head and gazed at him in confusion,
Howl~
“What are you looking at? Can you breathe underwater? If you can’t, stop thinking about following it.”
Noticing Black Mountain’s gaze, Feng Qing’an rolled his eyes in annoyance.
He could feel malicious intent from the depths of the sea, and he didn’t know what had triggered this hostility. Perhaps it was related to his slaughter of the grotesque fish-headed humanoids.
He did admit that he was a bit impulsive at that time, but who can blame him when those creatures looked so disgusting. Seeing a horde of hideous monsters wielding bone spurs and charging at him as soon as he appeared on the battlefield, who could endure that?
But there’s no need to think about this now. Regardless of the sea creatures’ reasons for their hostility, since they show malice towards him, the only thing he needs to consider is to eliminate them, not leaving any hidden threats.
But after all, it was the deep sea, something he didn’t understand. Thus, professional jobs should be left to professional spirits. The Giant Da Kun, which normally roams the depths of the sea, was the best candidate.
“Go eat it. If you find similar creatures, eat them all!”
Feng Qing’an directly imprinted the semblance of the merfolk into the Giant Da Kun’s mind. The merfolk had a height of several feet, but compared to the size of Giant Da Kun, it was barely enough to fill its tooth gap.
Even if this merfolk came from a certain clan in the deep sea, this clan would only be an extra meal for Giant Da Kun.
Woo——
Accompanied by a distant echoing cry, the black island that had emerged from the sea slowly sank back. The vast sea and sky that had been disturbed by the island’s appearance gradually returned to calm, leaving a breeze flowing beneath the clear sky.
“Let’s go. We should find Sen Miao. He’s living a life of luxury now.”
After the shadow that had sunk beneath the sea’s surface had completely disappeared from sight, Feng Qing’an patted the still sea-gazing Black Mountain next to him. It was as though it had just awoken from a dream and looked up at Feng Qing’an.
Howl~
Black Mountain looked at Feng Qing’an, its eyes filled with unabashed envy. Through the Soul Contract, its emotions clearly presented themselves in Feng Qing’an’s consciousness, instantly making him aware of what it desired.
Black Mountain wanted to have a gigantic body like the Giant Da Kun, a body so massive that its mere life energy could stir the elements of its surroundings, causing everything to revolve around it.
Although a massive body did not necessarily mean absolute power, they were somewhat proportional. Once you’ve reached a certain size, just rampaging around would be enough to crush everything around.
“You sure know how to pose difficult questions for me!”
Feng Qing’an rolled his eyes in annoyance. The reason that the still immature Giant Da Kun had such a huge body was due to its powerful bloodline.
To attain a similar body size, Black Mountain needed to either break through its current realm and become a Demon Immortal, taking advantage of the ascension boost to naturally attain a larger demon body.
However, even if it did, it would still be somewhat inferior to the Giant Da Kun. The second choice was even more challenging: acquiring a bloodline such as that of a primitive beast. By gaining the corresponding bloodline, it only needed to eat, drink and sleep to have a massive body.
However, these two options were only for ordinary creatures. For Black Mountain, which followed him, there was a third option, a far more effortless avenue.
“Let’s find Sen Miao, and then I’ll figure out a way to help you out. This environment might be suitable for primitive beasts and creatures.”
The unusual Qilin and the Giant Da Kun he met and forcefully contracted demonstrated to Feng Qing’an that the environment here was somewhat different from other places.
The environment was akin to the primal times when the world was still unformed, wild and ancient. Of course, there were still some differences. Whether it was the Qilin or the Giant Da Kun, signs of degeneration were evident.
However, this wasn’t an issue in Feng Qing’an’s eyes. It was merely reverting to their origins. Not just him, but any other beast tamers like him with traditional knowledge could achieve this if they dedicated enough time and effort.
Howl~
Upon hearing Feng Qing’an’s words, Black Mountain leaned its head over and nuzzled Feng Qing’an’s arm in an attempt to curry favor. However, it was quickly pushed away by a disgusted Feng Qing’an,
“Stop rubbing and follow me.”
Azure Ghost Fire burnt in the sky, illuminating the sea and paving a flame road. An awe-inspiring aura of the demon king permeated the sea and the sky, scaring away numerous birds and sea creatures. It was clear that creatures as simple-minded like the Qilin were rare.
Splash~
The flames that could cause devastating damage to souls had no special effect when they fell on the trees and grass of the forest. It was more like an ornament making everything more brilliant and colorful.
Following the connection of the Soul Contract, Feng Qing’an quickly located a particularly vast island scattered across the sea and amidst the group of islands. It looked like a small piece of land.
Its towering mountains, flowing springs, waterfalls, deep abysses, and vast forests were all full of lush vegetation. From high above, it looked like an emerald gemstone full of boundless life, embedded in the endless blue ocean.
“This seems pretty suitable for Sen Miao.”
Feeling the abundant and vigorous spirit of the wood spirit emanating from the island below, Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but be amazed. This was an exceedingly rare place of longevity. Even for mortals, as long as they weren’t hurt, they could easily live up to a hundred and twenty years.
Such an island was clearly home to countless spirits. Feng Qing’an did not seem to have a clear understanding of his present state.
Therefore, not long after he began to survey the island, a group of humanoid spirits, slim and nimble, dressed in vine armor, handling long spears, soared into the sky on the back of flying beasts, surrounding him.
“…”
Looking at these humanoid spirits that were more good-looking than the patterned heterogeneous beings he had just met, Feng Qing’an fell silent.
It was clear that this was another Heterogeneous Clan contingency, but they were markedly different from the ones that had been attacked by the fishmen monsters from the sea.
Encountering such a situation made Feng Qing’an question where exactly he had been banished to from the void by that bald-headed creature. Was he still in the same world as before, or had he fallen into a special secret realm like the Phoenix Clan Cave Sky?
If not, how could he encounter so many heterogeneous groups in such a short time? This was the third group, with the malicious merfolk being the second.
Feng Qing’an fell into contemplation. The humanoid knights who rode on the flying beasts and surrounded him were all extremely tense. They were ready to strike at any moment. They could all attack Feng Qing’an at the sound of an order.
Hiss——
Just when things were getting tense, a strange hissing sound was heard. Feng Qing’an glanced below and saw a gust of green air surging up into the sky, forming a heavenly path that stretched to the horizon. A sacred and majestic auspicious beast was treading on the heavenly path, heading straight towards him.
“And here I thought you were going to wait until I took action against them before you came out.”
Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but laugh as he looked at the Qilin Beast in front of him.
Among all his Guardian Beasts, Sen Miao had the most complicated mindset because she was a centuries-old demon who had been harboring hatred and patience when he made a contract with her.
Of course, it wasn’t her fault. Sen Miao didn’t do anything wrong, it was just that she had experienced too much and had such deep thoughts that it often resulted in her being less than effective when she collaborated with Feng Qing’an.
“Master, please don’t hurt them. They are the Wood Spirit Tribe, an extremely friendly heterogeneous clan. They are only opposing you because of a misunderstanding. They don’t mean you any harm at all,” Sen Miao said, bowing her head to explain to Feng Qing’an. Seeing the formal yet distant attitude of this Qilin Beast, Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but frown.
Although he was able to perform the fusion technique with this Qilin Beast successfully, his dislike for calling upon her power was rooted in the low compatibility between them.
“What did they misunderstand me for? Did they think I was here to attack them?”
Feng Qing’an’s eyebrows unfolded quickly and he asked jokingly. He looked down at himself; his Dragon Armor was still worn on him.
However, this golden armor was clearly upright and just, unlike any dark arts. In contrast, the Black Mountain under his foot was gloomy and eerie, clearly a malicious beast of some sort.
“Look at you, you haven’t done anything and people have already surrounded you.”
Feng Qing’an stomped his foot, causing the demon king beneath him to let out a whimper. It wasn’t its fault to look like this. If anyone was to blame, it was the princess who had coveted his big brother’s body. The Demon Pill was a gift from her.
“Yes, they are worried that you are a helper called by the Deep Sea Merfolk tribe.”
The answer from Sen Miao made Feng Qing’an’s eyebrows furrow.
“Deep Sea Merfolk tribe? What? So, the heterogeneous clan on this island also has conflicts with the merfolk in the sea?”
“Did you encounter anything?”
Sen Miao quickly detected the abnormality in Feng Qing’an’s words and hurriedly asked.
“On the way here, I was targeted by a merfolk. He even claimed that he would hunt me down.”
Feng Qing’an laughed.
