Since Jiang Yi could not understand what the savage was saying, Jiang Yi could only act dumb and try to see if he could fool his way through this.
His eyes were full of shock and surprise, his face revealing his fear as he stretched his hand and pointed at his mouth. Then, he kept on gesturing, opened his mouth, and tried to utter a few sounds; he wanted to indicate that he was a mute.
The two savages scrutinized Jiang Yi for a few moments but finally let their guard down. One of them yelled out a few noises as he turned and headed back the way he came. The other savage walked closer to Jiang Yi, stretching his hand to grab a hold of Jiang Yi’s neck; he evidently wanted to catch Jiang Yi and bring him back.
Do it!
Jiang Yi did not have any other choice. If he was captured, the situation could get even worse. He could only secretly take out the Mystic Divine Palace, and with a flash, Mei Ru and Jiang Xiaonu appeared. He had long used his voice transmission to give them their orders.
Chi-chi!
Mei Ru had just been teleported out, and she immediately became a black smoke that shot into the savage’s brain. Jiang Xiaonu also transformed into a sharp sword and dashed towards the savage.
“Outsiders…”
The savage near Jiang Yi was frightened and quickly tried to retreat. However, he was too close to Mei Ru; and her speed was not slow as well. Within an instant, she had entered his brain; he could not move anymore.
“Outsiders?”
The other savage turned his head instantly and saw Jiang Xiaonu rushing towards him, her green claw glowing faintly. The savage’s eyes suddenly revealed his killing intent and rage as the wooden rod in his hand became multiple shadows as he thrust the rod towards Jiang Xiaonu.
Jiang Yi saw that Jiang Xiaonu was planning on using her claw to block against the wooden rod and hurriedly yelled, “Xiaonu, do not go up against the wooden rod! Kill him!”
Jiang Xiaonu was always very obedient to Jiang Yi. She did not hesitate much as she avoided the wooden rod and clawed the savage’s chest furiously. The savage’s reaction speed was very fast as he raised his wooden rod and smashed it on Jiang Xiaonu’s shoulder. His eyes were mocking Jiang Xiaonu as he looked towards the two claw marks on his chest.
This savage was obviously too confident of his defensive ability; within a moment, the mocking look in his eyes was changed into astonishment!
Tsk! Tsk!
Jiang Xiaonu’s sharp claws could even break through Demigods’ divine shields in an instant and tear through Devil Star Vines. Though this savage’s defensive ability was indeed very strong, Jiang Xiaonu had still easily penetrated his defenses and sliced open his chest.
Crack!
However, Jiang Xiaonu did not emerge unscathed. She had been hit heavily by the wooden rod as a sound of bone cracking could be heard. Her body was sent flying as she still held onto a bloody heart in her hand.
Tsk! Tsk!
Jiang Yi’s Astral Wind Blades had long been standing by. Seeing Jiang Xiaonu injured at this moment, his heart ached as he furiously sent forth his Astral Wind Blades. They minced that savage’s innards into bits and pieces; the savage was definitely dead.
“Xiaonu!”
He flew towards Jiang Xiaonu and managed to grab hold of her. However, he had forgotten something: he had transformed into a savage. Besides the animal skin covering his crotch, he was naked everywhere else. Jiang Xiaonu had actually been tearing from the pain, but once Jiang Yi carried her, she suddenly was so shy that she couldn’t even open her eyes.
On the other hand, Mei Ru did not disappoint Jiang Yi. The Succubus Race’s attacking strength might not be the best, but their demonic arts were terrifying. Mei Ru swiftly flew out from that savage’s glabella as she laughed faintly and said, “Master, these savages soul spirits are not bad; however, I could still gain control over them.”
“Splendidly done!”
Jiang Yi immediately perked up as he hurriedly gave Jiang Xiaonu some recuperation medicine and sent her inside the Mystic Divine Palace to rest. He then said to Mei Ru, “Control this person to go and lure the others one by one. Then, take control of them all.”
The sudden disappearance of these two savages would definitely raise an alarm. To stick to something once it had begun, Jiang Yi was prepared to take control over all the remaining savages present. This way, news of their presence would not leak, and Jiang Yi and company would not be hunted by the tribe’s troops.
Mei Ru did not need to speak out loud. She sent a mental order to the savage, and he started to run into the distance. Jiang Yi then kept the other savage’s corpse into the Mystic Divine Palace and used his Nine Heavens Dragon Flames to destroy the vicinity.
After finishing all these, Jiang Yi and Mei Ru hurriedly went forward and waited along the path.
Wu-Wu—
Before long, the weird sounds that the savages made could be heard in the distance. Jiang Yi looked at Mei Ru as he changed his expression to signal to her. The latter hurriedly hid herself up while Jiang Yi stood his ground.
Swish! Swish!
The two savages hurriedly dashed by. Jiang Yi did not move from his spot as he looked ahead. One of the two savages was the one Mei Ru had control over while the other was one whose face was full of suspicion and confusion. After seeing Jiang Yi, that savage became even more cautious.
The savage in front explained the situation to the one in the back. Jiang Yi had more or less understood. The savage in front was trying to say that Jiang Yi was a vagabond of their kind; he was asking the savage at the back if the latter wanted to bring Jiang Yi back to the tribe.
“Mei Ru, let that savage launch an attack! Take advantage of any opportunity you can find!”
Jiang Yi suddenly yelled out as Mei Ru reacted instinctively. The savage that was being controlled suddenly smashed the chest of the other savage. Mei Ru also took this opportunity to dash out of hiding and, with the blink of an eye, entered the other savage’s glabella. The rest was very simple; Mei Ru unleashed her demonic arts and bewitched this other savage as well.
“Settled!”
Mei Ru shot out from that savage’s glabella as she transformed into her real body. Jiang Yi raised a thumb in praise and said, “Beautifully done!”
“Many thanks for your praise, my Lord.”
Mei Ru actually looked a little uncomfortable; she had always been very scared of Jiang Yi. However, at this moment, she realized that Jiang Yi was not that scary; he was actually even a relatively good master. Although she was beholden to Jiang Yi’s Artifact Spirit, Jiang Yi was that Artifact Spirit’s master. Hence, Jiang Yi was the real master of hers.
Jiang Yi nodded as he suddenly thought of something and said, “Mei Ru, if you work hard for me—in fifty years, I will give you back your freedom!”
“Really?”
Mei Ru was overjoyed. Ever since she had been refined by the Artifact Spirit, she had been feeling gloomy and pained. It was as if she had landed up in hell as her whole life was over. She did not think that Jiang Yi would actually give her such a surprise.
“I always mean what I say.” Jiang Yi nodded very seriously. He then motioned and said, “Let’s get to work!”
“Many thanks, My Lord.”
Fifty years was very short for the demon race; they lived long lives. Mei Ru’s eyes suddenly sparkled as if a hopeless person that had seen the light. She also became more motivated working for Jiang Yi. She controlled the two savages to head back and continued luring more of their kind here to be controlled.
Just like this—within one hour, Mei Ru had bewitched the dozen-odd savages; they had all become soul slaves. Mei Ru had also made a surprising discovery: those white tigers had actually been domesticated by these savages. Once the latter was controlled, the former could be as well.
“Mission accomplished!”
After the last three savages had been taken over, Jiang Yi breathed out heavily as he said to Mei Ru, “Could you find out some information from their brains? Could you find out where the Buddha Thearch and company had gone?”
“No!”
Mei Ru shook her head and replied. She then said, “However, I can question them; they do not dare to go against me.”
“Quickly ask!”
Jiang Yi growled as Mei Ru used her powers and mentally communicated with the savages. These savages said many things as Jiang Yi received an overwhelming amount of information. Ten minutes later, Mei Ru turned around and said, “I have news. A few months ago, there was indeed a group of outsiders that had entered the Death God Continent. The outsiders had even attacked the Undying Tribe. According to these savages, the outsiders were all captured by the continent’s Saint Emperor? They are not that sure either; they had only heard some rumors.”
“A Saint Emperor? The Buddha Thearch and company had been captured?”
Jiang Yi’s heart sank. The humans on this continent were so strong; how much stronger could their Saint Emperor be? If even the likes of the Buddha Thearch and company had been captured, how could Jiang Yi and the rest save them? Furthermore, how could they get out of this mystic realm? If they could not leave, they would have to live here with these savages for the rest of their lives.
