Chapter 65: Enslavement Scroll (2/2)

When he had nothing to do, Su Chen wondered if the metal-eating bug could poop out starsilver essence after eating starsilver, would it produce other essences if it ingested other metals?

He could only find an opportunity in the future to test this hypothesis out.

His current mission was more important, which was how to bring this moneymaking machine with him.

Thankfully, Ulrich had left behind a method to control the metal-eating bug in the form of an Enslavement Scroll. After using it on a target, it would generate an imprint of the user as its master on the target’s heart. Thus, it could understand and carry out commands to a certain extent.

The Enslavement Scroll was not difficult to learn. Su Chen had mastered it very quickly.

On the eleventh day that he had entered the cave, all of the starsilver ore in the cave had been completely mined.

Su Chen was also reaching a point where he more or less understood Ulrich’s experiments and knowledge. Thus, there was not much point in remaining in this place.

Before leaving, Su Chen pulled out a white Origin Scroll. This was a scroll made out of Vicious Beast hides, and the talisman for the Enslavement Scroll was inscribed on it. He pointed it at the metal-eating bug and activated it. This was one of the ancient Arcana techniques.

Current people often used the simpler and more convenient Origin Talismans. Origin Talismans were created using a special kind of paper that could store Origin Power. Its benefits were that they were low-cost and could be mass-manufactured. However, their effects would be slightly worse than a scroll, and their storage durability was not too good either.

The Enslavement Scroll had just landed on the metal-eating bug’s body when it exploded with a “BANG!”, turning into grey ash.

Enslavement resistance.

Strong life-forms would resist the Enslavement Scroll. The stronger it was, the more difficult it was to successfully enslave them. Su Chen’s strength was not comparable to the metal-eating bug, so his Enslavement Scroll had been broken instantly.

Su Chen was not yet satisfied. He created two more Enslavement Scrolls, and both of them were met with resistance.

This gave Su Chen a feeling of helplessness.

Ulrich had only left behind four blank Origin Scrolls in total. Now that three had failed, only one was remaining.

As he gazed at this last Enslavement Scroll, Su Chen hesitated.

If this one also failed, he probably wouldn’t have any more opportunities to tame it.

At this time, Iron Cliff said, “Can you let me try? Master.”

“You?” Su Chen was shocked.

Iron Cliff trembled with some anxiety. “Please don’t misunderstand me, Master. I don’t have any intention of seizing this pet from you. I only feel that it may be more likely to listen to me.”

Su Chen looked at Iron Cliff, then laughed, “No, I don’t mind…… Perhaps you are right.”

He handed the Enslavement Scroll to Iron Cliff, then said, “Go ahead.”

Iron Cliff held the Enslavement Scroll and slowly turned his head to look at Su Chen. “You know, Master. If I succeed, it will…… only listen to me.””

“Of course, don’t worry about it. Go ahead, Iron Cliff.” Su Chen patted him.

Iron Cliff breathed in deeply and walked forward, placing the Enslavement Scroll on the metal-eating bug’s back.

In terms of strength, Iron Cliff was lower than Su Chen.

But in that instant, the Enslavement Scroll wasn’t destroyed.

The metal-eating bug raised its head and looked at Iron Cliff, letting out a few muffled roars.

Then, the Enslavement Scroll disappeared into the metal-eating bug’s body.

Upon seeing this scene, Su Chen broke out into a smile. “Congratulations, Iron Cliff, you are now stronger than I am.:

Iron Cliff knelt in front of Su Chen. “Iron Cliff will always belong to master.”
