1588 The Wolf Chieftain (1/2)
Edited by Aelryinth
Mo Fan already had an impressive Magic Tool to support his cultivation, so he was not interested in getting another one. However, a high-quality Magic Tool was crucial for an Advanced Mage trying to break through to the Super Level. The Magic Tool would greatly increase the chances of someone as diligent as Mu Bai expanding his Star Galaxies into Star Universes!
A Star Universe Magic Tool was the highest level of Magic Tool, and allowed a Super Mage to rapidly improve and stabilize their cultivation. It was why Mu Bai had spent so much effort analyzing the structure of the Pyramid.
The Huntsman Spider was not strong, just as they had expected. It was nothing but a petty spider waiting to be slaughtered once it was paralyzed by Mo Fan's Shadow Magic. Mo Fan soon discovered that beneath it… the end of its abdomen was deep inside the ceiling. When he pulled it out, he saw a long strand of spider silk connected to it!
”Mu Bai, there's indeed a channel behind it!” Mo Fan exclaimed.
”Many things are based on logic,” Mu Bai answered smugly. There was no place for illogical things to exist inside the strictly-organized Pyramid!
”Little Loach, I'm going to release the essence that the spider has stored inside its stomach, be ready for a great feast!” Mo Fan said.
Mo Fan cut the spider's belly open ruthlessly. The creature clearly did not deserve his pity, since it had absorbed the life essence of countless humans. The human lives needed to refine the essence it channeled could easily fill up the spacious chamber!
The Huntsman Spider had no chance of defending itself. It was a parasitic species; it provided the undead with the essence, and in return, the undead kept it safe. When its master died, it had lost its purpose!
It had stored a huge amount of the essence. The evil energy that the Underworld Executioners collected from the vengeful spirits and the hatred of the dead was refined into pure energy equivalent to Soul Essences before being stored in the belly of the Huntsman Spider. However, the amount it was storing was many times greater than the energy of a Soul Essence!
Soul Essences were the purest energy in the world, yet the Mummies were constantly being fed an energy equivalent to it. It was not a surprise they would become as strong as monsters!
Mo Fan and Mu Bai were clearly in luck. The Huntsman Spider had stored a huge amount of energy for the Advisor Mummy before it was slain. No wonder the creature did not dare to jump down from the ceiling and fight them. It was concealing the treasure in its belly!
Little Loach absorbed the energy crazily, enjoying this more than the contents of Sayed's Soul Container. Mo Fan kept noticing new Soul Essences popping up in the Nether River like dazzling little gems, each with a unique glow that showed their value!
”Seven Commander-level Soul Essences, Seventy-nine Warrior-level Soul Essences… eight Commander-level Soul Essences, tsk tsk...I'm really going to have my own army of wolves!” Mo Fan blurted out in joy.
Eight Commander-level Soul Essences, how insane was that? It meant Mo Fan could Summon eight extra Commander-level Summoned Beasts!
How significant was having eight extra Commander-level Summoned Beasts under his command? A Super Mage could easily die when being attacked by eight Commander-level creatures at the same time if it was careless!
On top of that, even if eight Commander-level creatures were unable to defeat a Ruler-level creature, they could still keep it busy for quite some time!
Most importantly, apart from having eight extra Commander-level creatures, Mo Fan now had a total of one hundred and ninety wolves in his army!
Imagine one hundred and ninety Warrior-level Enormous White Wolves and White-Marked Wolves rushing out of the Summoning Gate... they could easily fill up the streets of an entire city! If he had possessed an army of this scale when he stumbled into Captain Saks and Major General Gangma, they would have fallen right on their knees and begged for mercy!
Mo Fan contacted the Flying Creek Snow Wolf. ”Old Wolf, get your brothers from their caves, I'm going to announce some great news!”
It was not difficult for him to communicate with his Summoned Beast in the Summoned Beast Plane. If Mo Fan actually bothered, his consciousness could even enter the Summoned Beast Plane and observe the situation there.
The Old Wolf was living in a cave in the Summoned Beast Plane. He had been a vagrant back when he was still a Spirit Wolf. He would accidentally enter other beasts' territory and be chased around and driven away by them. He was often covered in wounds when Mo Fan first brought him from the Summoned Beast Plane back then.
It was the downside of having a Summoned Beast. The Summoned Beasts lived in the Summoned Beast Plane. They might even die if they met with misfortune in their own Plane, meaning that everything the Summoners had invested in them was in vain. In contrast, most Contracted Beasts were from the same Plane as the Summoners, with their own Contracted Space provided by the Summoners. It was unlikely they would die unless their Summoners failed to take care of them.
Similarly, the beasts that the Summoning Gate Summoned were from the Summoned Beast Plane too. They did not just appear out of nowhere; they normally lived in the Summoned Beast Plane.
A Summoning Gate would usually Summon random beasts from the Summoned Beast Plane. It could be a bunch of Iron-Hoofed Rhinoceroses or a pack of Blood-Tide Beasts. If the Summoner did not specifically look for the relevant Seal of a certain species, a Summoning Gate would Summon different species every time it was cast!
