Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Yang Ling kept himself busy after successfully taming the rare Thousand-faced Mink, instructing the group to clean up the battlefield and taming the Chiras that he could still use. He shifted those that were dead, lost a wing or heavily injured to the side and instructed Orlando to store them away. He was going to retrieve their Essence Crystals and extract the Blood Essence in their bodies when he returned to Wissen Town.
As a high-level Magical Beast, the body of the Chira could be said to be covered in treasures. Yang Ling naturally could not let them go!
A final tally revealed that he had tad a full hundred Chiras, amongst them the Chira King that was almost reaching level nine. Now, together with the Twin-legged Flying Dragons, Yang Ling now had over two hundred high-level Magical Beasts. The price he paid was rely a few hundred low-level Magical Beasts like the Horned Bee Beasts, Vampire Bats and tarantulas. He could quickly replenish their numbers through the Magical Beast Base in the Wizard Pagoda’s Space.
Over this period of ti, under the care of Yuna and the Beastman priest Augustus, the Magical Beast Base in the Wizard Pagoda’s Space had gradually slipped into a virtuous cycle, now rearing more and more low-level Magical Beasts. It would be no problem for him to replenish a few hundred Horned Bee Beasts and Vampire Bats within a short amount of ti.
The tide-like mass of Chiras, spiders and Evil Eyes, Twin-legged Flying Dragons, Horned Bee Beasts and self-destructing bats that could block out the sky...
After successfully taming a hundred Chiras, Yang Ling beca full of anticipation for the future of the Magical Beast army after recalling the abilities of the Thousand-faced Mink. Now, he might even stand a chance against the White-robed Cardinal Bishop of the Church. As long as he planned his ambush well, he would be able to command his Magical Beast army to heavily surround the other party.
The Thousand-faced Mink was small, only about the size of a rat, its appearance similar to that of a mini white rabbit. It had fair white skin, its white fur sleek and shiny. Its black pupils darted around constantly, crying out from ti to ti. It seed as though it was a little creature that had just been born for so ti. Yang Ling had just summoned it when the little creature beca loved by the crowd.
“Oh, what a beautiful creature!”
“Brother Yang, give him to !”
...
Stroking the soft fur of the Thousand-faced Mink, pinching on its large rabbit-like ears, both Yuna and Alice fought to carry it in their arms. This was especially so for the little lass Alice who had not reached full adulthood. She had a good ti playing with the little creature, carrying the creature as she ran around Yang Ling.
The little creature was very lively, quickly familiarizing itself with the group and jumping around at high speed. It would sotis jump onto Goode’s head and shake its little butt, sotis pull on the white beard of the Fox Elder, sotis hide in Alice’s embrace and make faces...
Did I accidentally ta Mickey Mouse?
Yang Ling shook his head as he looked at the playful little creature, recalling the mischievous little mouse in the cartoon ‘Tom and Jerry’. However, just as he was about to instruct the group to seize the ti and explore the surroundings, a surprising scene ensued.
The Thousand-faced Mink shook its butt and transford, taking on the sa appearance as Yuna. Fair white skin, pencil-thin waist, dark sleek hair... They were nearly identical. After running around Yuna a few tis, the group soon beca unable to differentiate between Yuna and the mischievous little creature.
“My god, how are they identical!”
“The one on the left is Yuna, oh... No, the one on the right is! Brother Yang, tell , who’s the real one?”
...
After recovering from their shock, the group pointed toward the two nearly identical Yunas and slipped into a discussion. Alice stroked the little hand of the left Yuna and took a whiff of the bodily fragrance of Yuna on the right, but could not differentiate between the real and fake Yunas even after trying for so ti.
Wouldn’t it be able to freely enter the camp of the enemies and scout for the necessary intelligence or kill the leader of the enemy by transforming to take on the appearance of the enemy?
The group was in a heated discussion as they looked at the nearly identical Yunas. However, Yang Ling had a thought, quickly thinking about the uses of the abilities of the Thousand-face Mink. As long as it was trained, the little creature could perhaps transform to beco the relative or aide of the target, making it easy for it to get close to the target and launch a sudden attack, turning it into the most terrifying assassin on the continent.
As he was the one who tad the creature, he could naturally differentiate between Yuna and the mischievous Thousand-faced Mink. However, to an average person, as long as the Thousand-faced Mink remained silent, they would not be able to differentiate between them even if they were to observe the two closely for so ti. This was even more so if they did not pay attention to them before the transformation.
“Brother Yang, this little creature is too adorable. Let’s call it Little Mink in the future. Let take care of it!” Looking at the little creature that had transford into her, Yuna was not angry. Instead, she was elated, speaking as she moved toward Yang Ling.
Unexpectedly, the little creature mimicked her actions, imitating her as she hugged Yang Ling’s arm, gently leaning toward him. It was only after Yang Ling knocked on its forehead that it returned to its original state, jumping to the white moustache of the Fox Elder by the side. The latter shouted in pain, inviting the laughter of the group.
After resting for a mont, the group proceeded to search for treasures scattered around the area under Yang Ling’s command, then pressed on forward quickly. According to the mories of the Thousand-faced Mink and the Chira King, the area in front was the valley where the Chira’s stayed at, and it contained several rare resources. They would be able to make their way out of the pitch-black tunnels after passing the valley, arriving at the real entrance of the underground city.
Chira Valley was massive. Rather than call it a valley, it was more accurate to call it a mysterious underground plain. The group picked up a substantial amount of rare resources despite only walking a small distance into the valley.
“Ashnamov, lead the Galapagos Tortoisen and elven archers to guard the entrance of the valley. No one is to enter without my orders. Otherwise, kill without exception!” Yang Ling let out a decisive order upon seeing the rich resources within the valley, summoning his Magical Beast army to seal off the entrance of the valley.
With this many rare resources, there was no way that he would let the troops and adventurers behind him to share the fruits of his labor. Yang Ling knew that they would not recklessly barge after witnessing the abilities of his Magical Beast army in no matter how disgruntled they were.
Indeed, even though they wanted to charge into the valley to get a share of the pie, the hope-filled troops and adventurers had no choice but to halt in their steps after seeing the many spiders digging into the ground at the entrance of the valley, the Evil Eye and Horned Bee Beast army ready in their formations, and the bunch of Twin-legged Flying Dragons circling in the air.
“Hmph, how dare he block off the entire valley, brothers, let’s fight it out with him!”
“That’s right, he’s being too much of a bully!”
...
There were more treasures in places where danger was abundant. All of the experienced troops and adventurers knew that to be true. They were furious when they saw Yang Ling’s Magical Beast army block off the entire valley, all of them clenching their teeth. So broke out in curses, so rubbed the sharp longswords in their hands fiercely...
However, even though they were full of grievances, all they did was curse at Yang Ling, no one daring to step forward and take action. After all, if even thousands of Chiras were no match for Yang Ling’s Magical Beast army, an ordinary person charging forward was akin to asking for death!
The troops and adventurers could only wait anxiously outside, while Yang Ling and the rest got incredibly busy within the valley. There were a chain of reports, as they found rare treasures from ti to ti.
“Sir, Sir, there’s a crystal mine in front, a large crystal mine!” Goode had just set off for a short while when he returned. He whispered into Yang Ling’s ear after cautiously surveying the surroundings, “Sir, if I am not wrong, those are the Fantasy Crystals that you are looking for!”
Fantasy Crystals?
The Fantasy Crystals required to build a Magical Teleportation Spell Formation?
Yang Ling did not hesitate when he saw the excited Goode, instructing him to lead the way and picking up the pace.
He would be able to build Magical Teleportation Spell Formations at crucial locations like the Aila Mountain Pass, Wissen Castle and Taildon Valley if he had a large number of Fantasy Crystals, bringing about imnse benefits. He could increase the scale of the excavation of the Five-colored Crystal Vein, as well as quickly deploy his forces to the areas that needed them...
The Fantasy Crystal Mine was not far away. Yang Ling, Goode and the rest soon arrived at their destination. After making their way past a field of pebbles, they discovered a large number of unique crystals within a massive cave.
Unlike an ordinary crystal ore, the surface of the crystals in this cave seed to be covered with a fog-like substance. It was ice-cold to the touch, releasing waves of an obscure energy ripple. It refracted light like a kaleidoscope. Looking at the crystals, the group felt as though they were in another dinsion, incredibly mysterious. According to the records of several historical annals, these were Fantasy Crystals rarely found on the continent.
After a mont’s deliberation, Yang Ling gave a decisive order, “Great, this is great!” Goode, imdiately send soone to dig out a few cartful of Fantasy Crystals and transport them back to the Wissen Castle as soon as possible. Get Master Aaron and the Gno Elder to set up a Magical Teleportation Spell Formation at the fastest ti possible!”
In order to prevent outsiders from easily barging into the area, Yang Ling set up a Space Imprisonnt outside the cave after issuing the order to Goode. He then told Goode, Orlando and a few of his aides the thod for entering and exiting the area, in case news of it got leaked out.
Just like the Five-colored Crystal Vein, the Fantasy Crystals were extrely rare within the Tailun Continent. The various major factions would definitely swarm over if they found out that there was a Fantasy Crystal Mine here. As a precaution, it was better to first set up an Imprisonnt Restriction. Even though it was not useful for the large-scale excavation of the crystals, its benefits definitely outweighed its disadvantages in the long run!
There were many treasures within the Chira Valley. Following the discovery, the various exploration teams sent back streams of reports!
So collected a large number of premium crystal ores, so encountered a large pile of incandescent gemstones, so picked up rare magical equipnt after killing a bunch of monsters...
The valley was rich in resources, while the interior of the Chiras’ lair was no exception.
Following the mories of the Chira King, Yang Ling successfully found over a hundred Chira eggs and a few dozen Chira Essence Crystals. Furthermore, there was also a substantial amount of Chira skeletons, scales and hide. He would definitely be able to earn a fortune if he shipped those back to Wissen Town for processing.
