Chapter 809: A Huge Undertaking
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
As Demon Flames appeared in Tang Xiu’s hands, the excessive temperature instantly caused layers of heatwaves in the whole nursery garden area. Even at the moment when the Demon Flames in Tang Xiu’s hands appeared, the tens of thousands of sentient plants in the nursery garden were as though seeing the most terrible nemesis, the very bane of their existence, and they fled to avoid it.
“An interesting sight.”
Tang Xiu could clearly sense fluctuations of intense thoughts of fear even if they couldn’t transmit it to him. In order to fully intimidate them, Tang Xiu grinned with mockery and continued, “The weapons system in this vestige is completely under my control. I only need to use the laser cannon and acid poison. It’s so easy if I want to kill all of you.
“Also, if I think you’re not worth wasting my resources, I don’t even need to use the weapons system. I just need to shut down the photosynthesis device in this nursery garden, destroy the nutrient generator, and completely cut off the nutrient extraction pipe to make you constantly use up your energy. I’m hella sure you’ll gradually wither away and I will completely cut off any possibility of your survival!”
In that instant, the moment Tang Xiu’s voice faded away, countless emotional fluctuations filled with fear came along, accompanied by horrifying thoughts and screams:
“Submit, we’re willing to submit.”
“Have mercy. We’re willing to serve you as our Master.”
“Please don’t kill us.”
“We choose the second option!”
“…”
Tang Xiu nodded with satisfaction. What he had to do was coerce and tempt. Now that he had intimidated and threatened them, gentle and amiable treatment came next in the form of benefits he could give them. “I can tell you clearly. You chose to submit to me, and it will only benefit you with no downsides whatsoever, as I can teach you some Immortal techniques. You will not only be able to transform your shape, but also have a high chance to have peerless magical power under the heavens in the future.”
Immortal techniques? As well as changing form?
In that instant, the tens of thousands of sentient plants turned deadly quiet, using their special means to ‘watch’ Tang Xiu. Back when they became sentient beings and had wisdom, they didn’t know what Immortal techniques were. They hadn’t had such high intelligence that long so they were simply clueless of what Immortal techniques meant.
However, ever since the Luminous Vine suddenly came to visit and had some exchanges with them tens of thousands of years ago, only then did they find out what the Immortal arts meant.
In their view, the Luminous Vine was an extreme existence and the energy it had stored was nearly ten times stronger than theirs. But even the Luminous Vine was yearning, eager to obtain such Immortal arts, meaning that it was something very precious.
An imposing aura suddenly erupted from Tang Xiu as he shouted, “Release your energy nucleus for I need to cast a seal on them. Once the seal is cast on your nuclei, your lives will be under my control and whoever dares to betray me will die with a mere thought!”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Energy nuclei came flashing from these sentient plants. The cores were numerous and filled with dense energy, causing turbulence inside this space.
Tang Xiu used his perception to sweep over the surroundings and was immediately dumbstruck. After counting, the energy nuclei that flew toward him numbered 35,680 in total; that even made him somewhat chilled and his heart beat rapidly inside. If these sentient plants were to use their energy cores to attack him, he would perhaps be blasted away and die in an instant. After all, these beings were all freaking bizarre monsters that had lived for a million years!
Sealing Art!
No longer wasting any time in hesitation, Tang Xiu frantically began to cast a seal on these energy nuclei. But with 35,680 in total, it was practically a huge undertaking for him.
Inside another spacious hall in the vestige.
The four Chinese ability users had obtained a full haul of harvests. Each of them carried a military bag full of weapons with a relaxed mood. Various types of weapons even hung on their bodies. Zhu Long, Firedevil, and Electrolady grinned ear to ear, whereas the rarely talking Aquababe also had a small smile.
“I don’t know how Tang Xiu’s doing right now. We encountered quite a lot of dangers right as we entered the vestige, and there may be more in the interior. But I think he should be fine!” said Zhu Long with a smile after entering the hall.
“Well, he went a separate was, Zhu Long Capt. That man surnamed Tang just boarded our team, but we and he are not on the same boat, like at all. Hence, whether he’s alive or dead has nothing to do with us. There’s no need to be concerned about him.”
“I think Firedevil makes sense, though I still hope that he can survive.” Electrolady smilingly said, “At least, that guy is so handsome and he’s my type. It’d be very regretful if he were to die here.”
The smile on Aquababe’s face receded, and she coldly glanced at Firedevil and Electrolady before speaking, “You all don’t forget that we’d have never obtained such a big harvest if Tang Xiu wasn’t with us. Even we might’ve died in the previous crisis.”
“Hmph. There’s no need for you to put him on a pedestal to undermine ourselves, Aquababe,” sneered Firedevil. “Who said we couldn’t have safely come inside without him?”
