Chapter 307: Chapter 307

Regarding that Black Flower, Chen Jiuge casually planted it in an empty space on the Flying Boat, as it only grew a few meters tall and didn’t take up much space.

The Flying Boat set sail again, and within a few short hours, Chen Jiuge had spotted around a dozen Black Flowers and collected them all onto the Flying Boat, since these things didn’t need to root and simply relied on absorbing air to grow.

Along the way, the number of Mandala Snakes increased from one to four, although they were all little snakes. According to Hu Xiao’s guess, there should be a large Black Flower nearby with a mature Mandala Snake on it, likely one that had recently given birth.

After wandering along the trajectory of the Black Flowers for three full days, Chen Jiuge and his companions finally stumbled upon a new discovery.

"Light?" At the top of the Flying Boat, Chen Jiuge suddenly saw a light and exclaimed in surprise.

Hu Xiao appeared promptly and said, "It should be a wild cluster of Black Flowers. I’ve already found a large number of small Black Flowers in the vicinity, and there are newly born Mandala Snakes inside each of them."

Mandala Snakes can live in groups or alone. They are creatures with exceptionally strong adaptability.

"Let’s head straight in. If we subdue that largest Mandala Snake, we should be able to package and take away all these little snakes, right?" Chen Jiuge inquired.

"Yes, but given the number of juvenile snakes, there should be more than one mature Mandala Snake inside. The largest Black Flower may have already evolved into the Black Flower King," Hu Xiao warned.

Under the watchful eyes of many Mandala Snakes resembling miniature old men, Chen Jiuge and the others finally reached the very center of the Black Flower cluster.

A giant Black Flower, hundreds of meters high, was emitting a bright light that turned the nearby area as bright as day.

Dozens of Mandala Snakes with True Immortal Cultivation slithered out of the giant Black Flower and emitted dazzling blue electricity not far from the Flying Boat, continuously threatening and trying to scare away the uninvited guests.

"There are only dozens of them. It seems they have recently relocated. Young Master, your subordinate believes that these Black Flowers and Mandala Snakes can be relocated to Butterfly Star," Hu Xiao suggested.

"I had the same idea. It will also give me a chance to see the strength of the Qingmu Guards," said Chen Jiuge with a smile.

Under Hu Xiao’s leadership, a hundred Qingmu Guards mobilized. The dozens of Mandala Snakes were completely subdued after only a brief resistance.

Realizing something was wrong, the Snake King could no longer sit idly by. It secretly hid atop a Black Flower, watching attentively. When Chen Jiuge walked off the Flying Boat to inspect the giant Black Flower, it launched an attack.

The moment the Snake King attacked, a huge Dharma Image – Divine Skill: Spirit Blood Phenomenon – appeared instantly behind Chen Jiuge.

The giant Dharma Image grabbed the Snake King with one hand. Chen Jiuge looked at the electricity on the Snake King’s body, now tinged with a hint of purple, and expressed his surprise, "This power feels much stronger than that of the other adult snakes we encountered before."

"The Snake King is the most likely to evolve into a Chaos Giant Beast, but it’s not guaranteed," Hu Xiao explained.

"Never mind, let’s not worry about that for now. A Chaos Beast can be directly contracted, right?" Chen Jiuge asked.

"Yes, it can. However, a Chaos Beast has very low Spiritual Wisdom and can only understand simple commands. Unless it evolves into a Chaos Giant Beast, its Spiritual Wisdom will only improve slowly."

"I’m only using them as doorkeepers," Chen Jiuge said, unconcerned.

Chen Jiuge’s powerful spiritual power instantly penetrated the Snake King’s mind. Looking at its chaotic brain, he left behind a slave mark before letting the Snake King go.

"I finally understand what it feels like when one’s mind is a complete muddle, although its muddle is black," Chen Jiuge said with a wry smile.

The contracted Snake King was surprisingly well-behaved, leading its kin and obediently following behind the Flying Boat.

Chen Jiuge leaned on the Flying Boat’s railing, looking at the little snakes struggling to drag Black Flowers over two meters tall, and he couldn’t help but laugh.

"The more I look, the more they resemble little old men," Chen Jiuge teased.

It had been three days since they tamed the Snake King and started the relocation process, but it would take at least another ten days to reach Butterfly Star because of the slow speed of the little snakes. The Flying Boat couldn’t carry so many little snakes and Black Flowers, so they could only return at a snail’s pace.

After contacting a former comrade from the Guard Army, Huang Kui proposed a cooperation. After paying a significant price, they finally reached a preliminary agreement.

After making a solemn vow, the two joined forces and headed to the unknown Star found by Huang Kui.

Hovering above the Star, they saw a considerable number of Corpse Demons. Chen Xiuguang expressed dissatisfaction, "The True Immortals among this group of Corpse Demons seem to be more than the forty or fifty you mentioned. They’re nearly a hundred."

"How could that be? I just scouted this place a little over a month ago," said Huang Kui in disbelief.

"My Heavenly Spirit Eye can’t be wrong. There are ninety-two True Immortal Corpse Demons. There’s no way I could mistake these green-haired ghouls," Chen Xiuguang complained.

"Ninety-two," Huang Kui muttered, his mouth twitching. This number was frightening and likely more than the two of them could handle. The source of this content ɪs novelFɪre.net

"Offer another ten percent, and I can call Lin Anquan here. The three of us should be enough," Chen Xiuguang said nonchalantly.

"Ten percent!" Huang Kui’s expression kept changing. If he were to give up another ten percent, then he would end up with only ten percent for himself.

Watching Huang Kui’s mercurial expression, Chen Xiuguang calmly said, "You’d better decide quickly. If we delay and the number of these green-haired ghouls increases, it won’t be something a few of us can handle."

Huang Kui’s expression darkened as he agreed, "I consent. Let’s wait here and resolve this quickly."

"You should have agreed earlier," Chen Xiuguang said with a slight smile and then began contacting Lin Anquan with a Communication Stone.
