Chapter 309: Mind Infestation (1/2)

The forest was greedily absorbing every drop of blood, sucking it out of the city, and into the ground instead. The river of blood in the lost city was being drained at a rapid pace.

A resounding boom sounded in the city, and suddenly the altar that was high above the rest started cracking.

The Berserkers within the city were looking at each other with shock. They saw that the river of blood was slowly draining and even their altar was starting to be destroyed.

Their eyes turned scarlet, and their breathing hurried in fear. They did not have a great talent for cultivation and relied solely on their innate connection to the river of blood in the lost city.

Xue Wei had hidden himself rather well. The moment the forest started changing, he quickly took the other two and left. Not long after, a group of people appeared, these people looked at each other with dismay in their eyes.

The destruction brought to the dam that kept the blood in the river and lake was so overwhelming that they were incapable of repairing it easily, and blood kept being drained at a rapid pace.

They were at a loss for what to do. Should they spend their time trying to block the blood, or should they try and find the ones who had caused the leakage, so that they did not cause more problems.

And causing problems was exactly what Xue Wei was planning on doing. He had left their original position, but he had not given up his goal, instead, he went to the other side of the lake and started destroying the dam on this side too.

It was taking some time, but after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he finally succeeded and broke the second hole in the wall of the bloody lake.

Once again, the blood started streaming out of the dam, and the dry soil absorbed it rapidly, the trees slowly turning red.

This time, no blood of Xue Wei dropped into the blood, so it did not turn blue but stayed red. The speed of the absorption was also much slower than on the other side, where the trees were greedily sucking out the blood from the lake.

It was night, but many of the Berserkers who were within their rooms sleeping quickly woke up and understood that something was happening.

Their bodies were turning feeble, their eyes bloodshot. They could feel that their connection to the blood river was weakening drastically, and it felt as if a part of their soul was being forcefully ripped apart.

Xue Wei saw that the previously deserted city was now bustling with life, the worn out houses were housing Berserkers, and all of them were waking up now, unsure of what was going on.

Xue Wei could see everything from where he was, and he observed them running around like headless chickens, their expressions filled with fear but also undisguised malice.

They could sense themselves weakening, and they could not help but feel uncomfortable.

”They should be easy to pick up one after another,” Bai Tianyi suddenly said.

”We don't know where the others are held prisoner,” Hei Gou agreed, ”but what we can do is to find the experts of this Berserker city and question them. You can use Mind Infestation on them, I doubt they have strong mental fortitude.”

Xue Wei nodded his head. These Berserkers relied fully on their bodies being strong and their Qi levels being high. Xue Wei and Bai Tianyi had high spiritual energy levels, and when it came to something like their spiritual energy, they could easily manipulate them as they pleased.

Xue Wei, Bai Tianyi, and Hei Gou inched closer to the populated part of the city. They were waiting in the shadows for when someone was alone, and after waiting for a short while, they encountered a person who was heading towards the outskirts of the lost city with the purpose of bringing a message from the elders to the scouts that had noticed the leakage of blood lake.

This person was hurried and did not look around carefully. She was rushing and nervous, and when she ran past Xue Wei, Hei Gou, and Bai Tianyi, all three of them launched their attacks at once.

Mind Infestation!

Spirit Cage!

Swallow the Moon!

Hei Gou was using his innate ability to devour all light in the surroundings, Bai Tianyi caged the figure in a cage made from spiritual energy, and Xue Wei finally used Mind Infestation to take over her mind.

She was soon rendered completely immobile, her mind a mess and her body unable to move without being given the order by Xue Wei.

Xue Wei, however, quickly ordered her with his mind to follow them as they hid from view once more.

Finding a small black alleyway where no one would enter, Xue Wei looked at the person in front of him.

The female Berserker's eyes were clouded over, she was not seeing anything, and solely working on Xue Wei's orders.

”Keep an eye out,” Xue Wei said to Bai Tianyi and Hei Gou, and he put all his focus on the woman whom he had under his control, he closed his eyes and started searching her memories.
