Some time passed.
Snowden, who fell to the ground, slowly opened his eyes. His red eyes suddenly turned pale yellow, then the pale yellow light gradually returned to red.
When the last ray of yellow light entered his eyes, Snowden slowly stood up and bowed to Chen Rui, "Master."
Chen Rui nodded with satisfaction. He could now clearly feel Snowden's consciousness of absolute obedience. This was different from the master-servant contract. Within the effective distance, Chen Rui could even control Snowden's words and deeds in his consciousness. He could even completely destroy his consciousness and cause death. Ordinary mind control skills couldn't control a person of the same level of strength. Even if it succeeded, the time was limited. However, the control of the God-Eating Mask was always effective. Without the master's deliberate control, Snowden could use his memory and consciousness like ordinary people. Of course, this consciousness had been completely "brainwashed", and it obeyed the master without resistance.
The only drawback was that this control was irreversible. Unless Snowden was killed, even Chen Rui himself couldn't restore the puppet's original consciousness.
"Where are the miners now?"
"Master, they are all in Mountain Walan. They are controlled by my men. Soon, it will be the time to hand over the mines to the Dark Moon. I originally planned to order the miners to deal with this routine handing over of the mines, then deal with them."
Chen Rui nodded, "Just do it according to your plan. Maintain the status quo for the time being. Don't alarm anyone. You should know how to deal with the Red Spirit Estate."
"I understand. Master, please rest assured."
After turning Snowden into a puppet, not only the mine, but the entire west passage of the Dark Moon was already under control. When needed, it could be activated at any time to change the situation. For now, don't alert the enemy for the time being.
Chen Rui's heart was settled. He thought of something and asked, "Snowden, do you know where to find the Obsidian Heart and requiem fruit?"
Snowden recalled for a while and said, "The Obsidian Heart is a rare crystal of flame power. I remember that at Lord Josh's birthday 10 years ago, Joseph once presented a piece of the Obsidian Heart to Josh as a gift, and Josh praised it. As for the requiem fruit, I only know that it is a legendary rare fruit, and there is no related news. "
Joseph? This was truly a case of wearing out iron shoes in search of nothing! Chen Rui's eyes lit up and asked, "Is Joseph still in the Red Spirit Estate now?"
Snowden shook his head, "Before I received the order to come to Mountain Xilang, he had returned to the Dark Moon."
Chen Rui suddenly remembered another thing. He had made an agreement with Jía that after the relevant matters were settled, he would contact her half a month later to let the Dark Moon send troops to eliminate the bandits. Now that the situation had changed and the bandits were completely under his control, the plan had to be changed. It had already been more than half a month. Fortunately, they had left some leeway at that time and said that they had to wait for contact before sending troops.
It seems that I must return to the Dark Moon this time. In addition to using the identity of "Aguile" to fulfill the agreement with Joseph to meet, I also need to contact Jía again. The most important thing was to obtain the Obsidian Heart!
Snowden left with the fainted Ivan. The four wyverns and Chen Rui hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they seemed very intimate. From the wyvern's mouth. Chen Rui learned that when a wyvern was hunting, it heard Kegu's cry. When it rushed over, it found that Snowden was using magic to imprison the wyvern's cub. It immediately launched an attack angrily to save Kegu and retaliated against its enemy, Snowden. Until today, it met Chen Rui whom it hadn't seen for a long time.
Speaking of Kegu, Chen Rui thought of Mengda who was still hiding near Town Leia. He immediately assigned one of the most powerful later stage Demon King wyvern to follow him to the Dark Moon City. After the rest went to find Mengda near Town Leia, they would temporarily live in the original Mountain Range Xilang and wait for him to return from the Dark Moon.
Although the wyvern couldn't adapt to a living environment without poison, the poisonous environment was more used to nurture the next generation. In other environments, short-term survival shouldn't be a problem.
Chen Rui rode the wyvern and traveled day and night. It was already afternoon when he rushed to the vicinity of the Dark Moon City. It was really troublesome to have a mask that couldn't be removed on his face. Fortunately, the function of the storage warehouse was very amazing. It could directly deliver food to his mouth. Otherwise, even if he didn't starve to death, he would be weak.
After leaving the wyvern in the outskirts, Chen Rui didn't alarm the guards at the city gate. He rushed to the arena at the fastest speed with ease.
In the lobby room of the arena, Arux was resting with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart. He opened his eyes and saw that there was an extra person in front of him.
Arux was taken aback. After he took the devil fruit and survived the poison, his strength had further increased. He felt closer and closer to the Demon King realm. If he returned to the arena that day to fight with Chen Rui, he had the confidence to win. He didn't expect this person to appear in front of him silently without any warning!
"Arux! Don't attack, it's me! "
Arux was stunned. The power that he gathered gradually relaxed: This voice … is actually Chen Rui!
"Chen Rui … Master, you … have you broken through to the Demon King level?" Arux didn't change his words, but he was more shocked.
"Yes."
This answer completely shocked Arux. When he learned that Aguile's true identity was the weak human beside Princess Royal, Arux was really surprised, but it wasn't as surprising as now.
Arux smiled bitterly in his heart. He initially thought that his strength had already won against his former opponent, but he never thought that he was overtaken by him again! Besides, this human was just a powerless weakling a few months ago.
"Master." The Demon Realm believed in the strong, so Arux's address was completely from the bottom of his heart. "What's the matter for you to come back from Mountain Xilang this time?"
"There are a few important things to do." Chen Rui directly asked the most important question, "Arux, does Joseph have the Obsidian Heart?"
Arux thought for a moment and replied, "I remember that Joseph once offered the Obsidian Heart on Josh's birthday … By the way, Joseph has returned to the Dark Moon a while ago. He seems to have gone out with Royce and Vasasha this morning. I don't know if he is back yet."
"Try to contact Royce later and say that I specially rushed back from training outside. I want to meet Joseph tomorrow morning. Also, ask Didi of the Cloak Gang to personally hand this letter to Princess Royal Jía. I don't plan to show up at the Cloak Gang for the time being. "
The content of the letter was naturally to ask Jía to suspend the plan to send troops to Mountain Xilang and wait for a better time. Since the "God-Eating Mask" couldn't be removed, Chen Rui didn't intend to have face-to-face contact with Jía. Although the seven artifacts of the Demon Realm were not amazing, the mask on his face and the Dark Shadow Cloak that he once saw from Christina all seemed very ordinary, Jía was the direct descendant of the Lucifer Royal Family. He didn't rule out the possibility of recognizing the artifact of her sworn enemy. If there was any misunderstanding, it would be troublesome.
Arux nodded and kept the letter. Chen Rui asked again, "How is the Cloak Gang?"
"The Cloak Gang's power is getting bigger and bigger. Currently, only the Gorefiend Gang can compete with them in the city. The Mellon Family is supporting the Gorefiend Gang. Recently, there have been several conflicts with the Cloak Gang. The day before yesterday, the leader of the Gorefiend Gang, Wick, was injured by me. There shouldn't be any big actions in the short term. "
"The Mellon Family?" Chen Rui snorted coldly. This stumbling block must be removed. The most important thing at present was the Obsidian Heart. The rest could wait until Athena woke up.
"I broke your weapon last time. Take this as compensation." A double-headed scythe appeared in Chen Rui's hand out of thin air and he threw it to Arux.
Arux reached out and caught it. He felt that the weapon looked ordinary, but its weight was still above his imagination. There was a strange feeling in his hand. After looking at it for a while, he exclaimed, "Could it be … dark star iron?"
Chen Rui nodded, "You have a good eye. This is the same as your double-headed scythe. It can be split into two in the middle."
After Glorfin's consciousness dissipated, the crystals that filled the underground world gradually disappeared. All the ores returned to normal, even the ores in the waste ores room. The only regret was that Chen Rui lost the source of aura conversion. Including the cost of leveling up and exchanging for two bottles of black potions, he only had a little more than 1 million auras now. It could be said that there were gains and losses.
This double-headed scythe was one of the dark star iron weapons made by the taurens. There weren't many dark star iron weapons. Most of them were ordinary iron weapons. The quality of Mountain Xilang's iron ore was one of the best in the Demon Realm. Coupled with the taurens' forging technology, the quality of this batch of weapons could be said to be the best in the Demon Realm.
"I can see that you are quite close to the Demon King level. Since my power realm is different from the Demons, I can't give you too much inspiration. However, I heard from the Dragons' partner that the Demon Realm's power is divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower. Lesser Demon, Intermediate Demon, and Higher Demon are the lowest level. Demon King and Great Demon King belong to the middle level. Demon Overlord and Demon Emperor belong to the upper level. To reach the middle level, you must understand the 'rule' of a certain power. Perhaps this will help you break through to the Demon King level. "
"Thank you, master!" For the first time, Arux sincerely bowed to Chen Rui. Royce was right. Chen Rui was completely different from Joseph. Perhaps, he was really a master worth following and being loyal to.
After Arux left, Chen Rui rested in a small room in the arena. He planned to go to the blue lake to see Paglio at night.
Some time ago, he was busy refining the powder that the Earth Elemental King urgently needed to protect Athena. He had a hard time on the road, so he didn't have the time to study the new functions of the Super System. Now, he could finally calm down a little and comb through it carefully.
In the galaxy garden, the pivotal fairy had upgraded to level 2 after paying the corresponding level 2 refined powder. The area of the galaxy garden after the upgrade was further expanded, and the output of all plants had increased. The number of plants had doubled, and the maturing time had been shortened a lot.
Since the cavemen in the underground world were extinct, the remaining fountain of vitality belonged to Chen Rui. After the Earth Elemental King got the level 3 refined powder, he gave him the Earth Source.
At present, the "crops" in the galaxy garden were:
1 devil fruit tree. Mature period: 48 days. Expected yield: 8. There were 6 storage warehouses in existence (after the upgrade, the maturing time was shortened).
10 devil pomeg trees. Mature period: 8 days. Expected yield: 15 per tree. There were 105 storage warehouses in existence.
10 hallucinating trees. Mature period: 4 days. Expected yield: 20 per tree. There were 238 storage warehouses in existence.
10 aura fruit trees. Mature period: 5 days. Expected yield: 15 per tree. There were 302 storage warehouses in existence.
Fountain of vitality. Capacity: 200/200.
10 Earth Source. Current growth progress: 3/10. Increase by 1 unit every 10 days.
The benefits of the pivotal fairy's upgrade weren't just that. Chen Rui tried it. An aura fruit could initially increase 2,000 auras, but now it could increase 3,000. 200 would be 600,000. Devil pomeg fruit could increase 1,500 auras, so 100 would be 150,000.
New items were also added to the exchange center. The highest level black potions finally appeared in the potion category: resurrection potion and longevity potion. They became the key to saving Athena.
There was a new exchange species under the plant category:
Aura gathering flower – attribute: Never wilt. Mature period: 1 day. After maturity, it greatly increases the automatic body's aura absorption rate, providing an additional 10,000 auras per day. The higher the level, the more the increase. 1000 auras for one.
A bottle of the highest level resurrection potion required 1 million auras. For Chen Rui who only had more than 1 million auras left, the aura source seemed to be a lot tighter after the "waste ore crystals" disappeared. The improvement of the output and quality of the galaxy garden, plus the emergence of aura gathering flower, solved this problem well.
In addition to the plant category, a new exchange type appeared:
Royal spirit category.
Gluttonous vine – large attacking creature. Attribute: entanglement, spread, devour. After releasing the aura seed, it will quickly take shape within 10 seconds. It needs 100 auras to be activated. It can be sown in soil of any quality. It will automatically attack hostile creatures. The degree of hostile attack can be adjusted. It will become invalid after auras are exhausted or destroyed. 1000 auras for one.
Stripper – attribute: scamper. It can be redeemed repeatedly. 1000 auras for a pair.
Strictly speaking, gluttonous vine should also belong to the plant category, but the biggest difference between the royal spirit category and the plant category was that they were not used in the galaxy garden, but in the outside world!
Stripper was equivalent to a pair of shoes with an auxiliary bonus. It could play an important role in attack, defense or escape. Gluttonous vine had already been separated from the galaxy garden and directly used in the Demon Realm. 10 seconds of formation was quite fast, so its power should be quite powerful.
Whether it was the black potions, aura gathering flower or the 2 new royal spirit category exchange items, Chen Rui was quite satisfied.
10 aura gathering flower seeds were quickly planted in the galaxy garden. They would mature and start to play a role after 1 day. As for other things, he would try their power when he had the chance in the future.
Chen Rui calculated the time. It was almost dark. It was time to go to Paglio's place, so he immediately exited the Super System.
Just as he exited the Super System, somehow, he suddenly felt a faintly discernible strange power that seemed to be summoning him. This summoning was not heard with his ears, but it was a feeling in his heart, and it seemed to be resonating with something.
He felt strange in his heart. He calmed down and fully opened his perception. Sure enough, the resonance was clearer. The resonance actually came from the "God-Eating Mask" on his face! This kind of situation had never happened in the underground world or Mountain Xilang!
