Chapter 708 - Awakening Of The Ancient Fearsome Beast (1/2)

During this unique enslavement process, Shao Xuan put the Gomphos next to the pterosaur and compared the two creatures.

He didn’t use as much energy to enslave the Gomphos. It required less energy and was a lot simpler. This might be due to the fact that the Gomphos no longer had self-consciousness, but the main underlying cause was the creature’s inherent characteristics.

Even though the Gomphos’s bones had a higher active potential, its quality wasn’t good enough. Simply put, its bones couldn’t hold too much of the fire seed’s energy. This was just a typical wild beast in the forest after all. It was in the lower levels of the food chain, so it couldn’t hold as much energy within its bones.

The pterosaur wasn’t large either. It was even smaller than the Gomphos but Shao Xuan noticed that the pterosaur’s bones could store more of the fire seed’s energy than the Gomphos.

The size of the animal’s bones was not at all correlated with the amount of energy it could store.

Then, could it be that the more advanced the species, or the stronger the person, the more energy it can store?

Shao Xuan decided he would have to test on a fearsome beast freshly slaughtered at the market.

He was just planning to leave but suddenly thought about the pterosaur that was still flat on the table. He turned around to look at it. The creature also twisted its neck rigidly to look at Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan turned his head and walked out the door of the secret room. He pulled the thick and heavy stone door behind him and shut it tightly as he left.

The same moment Shao Xuan shut the door, he freed the pterosaur from telepathic control. He didn’t walk far though. He stayed and waited beside the door.

Shao Xuan could sense the pterosaur’s movements within the room. It was as if the picture was projected within his mind. It was crystal clear. However, it wasn’t a picture of the creature’s entire body. He could only see its skeletal structure. This was because its bones were filled with the fire seed’s energy, so even when the creature swung its tail from side to side, he could see those movements clearly.

After Shao Xuan left, the pterosaur regained its freedom. After it got on its feet, it scanned the room cautiously and cried out once to make sure no one was around. After waiting patiently for a while, it finally turned and crawled towards the Gomphos on the other table.

The pterosaur’s wings were a lot more flexible now compared to when the ice in its body first melted. It was also crawling a lot faster now.

The stench of blood coming from the Gomphos’ dead body aroused the hunger within the pterosaur and it was crawling even faster now. As soon as it reached the Gomphos, the pterosaur extended its neck and bit down deep into the Gomphos. The small slice Shao Xuan fed it was clearly not enough to sate its hunger.

The creature wasn’t strong, so it was only tearing small slices of meat with its sharp teeth from the Gomphos’ body. It didn’t tear out large pieces each time, but it was eating very quickly.

Shao Xuan left after he watched from outside the door for a while.

There wasn’t anything important in the room, so Shao Xuan wasn’t worried. No matter how much damage the pterosaur did, there was no way it could barrel through the thick stone walls of the secret chamber, right?

At the same time, Shao Xuan also wanted to know the distance in which he could maintain a stable control over the pterosaur.

The more time he spent learning about it, the more secrets he discovered about this enslavement method. It allowed him to understand more about the person who invented enslavement too.

Up till now, no one knew who or which group was the mastermind behind all the monsters. Yi Si said that the Yi family was involved but he wasn’t sure exactly how many. Then there was the person who had left the Yi family a thousand years ago. What exactly was his role in this matter?

Shao Xuan shook his head and continued to walk out the castle. At the same time, he was watching the projected image in his mind. As long as he was within the control radius, he could see the pterosaur’s movements.

Shao Xuan could still see a clear picture in his mind of the room all the way until he walked out the Flaming River Castle. The pterosaur was still eating.

Shao Xuan went to a stall that sold fearsome beast meat and picked a beast that was recently slaughtered. He carried it all the way back to the secret room. The pterosaur was still tearing at the Gomphos’ meat but it suddenly stopped eating and retreated into one corner when it heard Shao Xuan’s footsteps.

Shao Xuan ignored it. Instead, he set the fearsome beast he carried down on the stone table. The beast had already been cleaned and its internal organs removed. All of its blood had been let out and he even rubbed it to see if there was still blood in the creature. Only a few drops of blood dripped on the table.

When the pterosaur smelled the fresh blood from the beast, its head protruded from behind the Gomphos and looked in Shao Xuan’s direction. It was testing whether Shao Xuan would force it to get down on all fours as he did before. It looked at the fearsome beast again. The pterosaur looked like it wanted to advance, but didn’t dare to. It was clear the pterosaur was interested in the fearsome beast. Fearsome beast meat was different from wild beast meat after all. This kind of meat would attract different kinds of predators.

From the pterosaur’s actions, Shao Xuan could tell that it preferred fearsome beast meat more than wild beast meat. The only thing that was holding it back was its fear of Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan used the same method and performed the same kind of enslavement on this beast.
