Chapter 312: Chapter 312

Watching the Green Corpse Demon tightly bound by the Vajra Lock, Jin Xiao’s brows knitted in a frown. He stared at the pitiful beast for a full fifteen minutes, his thick killing intent almost scaring it into wetting itself.

"Junior Brother, your timely discovery of the Corpse Demon Clan’s presence is commendable. It seems they might really have come to the Third Zone." Although Jin Xiao’s face did not look good, the fact remained unchanged.

"Senior Brother, is it very troublesome?" Chen Jiuge asked.

"Hmm, our Sect is best at the Myriad Beasts battle strategy, which is quite effective against the Insect Clan, but the Corpse Demon Clan is different. Though they aren’t numerous, their individual strength is much greater than that of the Insect Clan. Battling them will significantly increase the casualties of the Spiritual Beasts."

"What’s more important is that these Corpse Demons, once they have enough food, their breeding ability should not be underestimated either," Jin Xiao said with a sigh.

The pressure on Myriad Beasts Sect in the Infinite Star Sea was not small. Every day, Stars were breached by Alien Universes, but new Stars were also discovered daily, maintaining an overall balance.

The Third Zone was actually a new area developed by White Tiger Peak. The Sect didn’t know much about it. Initially, only an ordinary Insect Nest had been discovered, so its danger level was set relatively low.

It was unexpected that the Insect Nest would evolve an Insect Nest Queen. Even more surprising was that the Queen was so cowardly she led her nest to flee outright. This, in turn, allowed the Corpse Demon Clan to move in, and now the danger level seemed likely to rise sharply.

"Let’s not say any more. Junior Brother, discovering the Corpse Demon Clan is a great achievement. I can decide to award you ten Contribution Points," Jin Xiao said with a smile of congratulations.

"Then I thank you, Senior Brother," Chen Jiuge said gratefully.

If not for his relationship with Jin Xiao, obtaining these Contribution Points would have been a more arduous process. He would have had to wait for confirmation of the Corpse Demon Clan’s situation, then navigate layers of approval, likely receiving only a few points in the end. After all, the merit of discovering the Corpse Demon Clan could be considered both significant and minor.

"Junior Brother, I must leave now. I need to go and investigate the situation further."

Watching the hurried Jin Xiao depart, Chen Jiuge couldn’t help but marvel, I didn’t expect that in such a short time, Senior Brother Jin would have grown so much. It’s like watching a young man freshly entered into society suddenly become the pillar of a household.

Why think so much about it? With these ten Contribution Points, I’m going to take off again! Chen Jiuge thought, slapping his forehead and smiling brightly.

Star Cloud Tiger: Possesses powerful Star Power, slightly weak in corporeal form, suited for long-range attacks, categorized as Magic Cultivation.

Cub: One Contribution Point each.

True Immortal adult: Five Contribution Points each.

Note: Their Cultivation can attract a great deal of Star Power, and prolonged Cultivation in any one place can produce Star Stones.

True Immortal adult: Ten Contribution Points each.

Note: The Star Sea Tortoise naturally expels Star Stones every ten years, with each occurrence yielding about a hundred pieces.

Galaxy Star Silkworm: Not adept at fighting, mainly produces Star Silk, categorized as a resource producer.

Cub: One Contribution Point for ten.

True Immortal adult: One Contribution Point each.

Note: The feces of the Galaxy Star Silkworm are Star Stones, with one silkworm producing nearly thirty Star Stones a year.

Standing on the silver-white altar, Chen Jiuge, after much deliberation, finally chose the three Spiritual Beasts that best suited his current needs.

Although the first two varieties of Spiritual Beasts were combat-oriented, they could also incidentally produce Star Stones, providing great value for money. The Star Cloud Tiger could supplement his long-range attack methods, and the Star Sea Tortoise could significantly strengthen the defense of the patrol squad.

Still hesitant, Chen Jiuge decided to purchase the Galaxy Star Silkworms—primarily because his Contribution Points were too few. Although the above two Spiritual Beasts would be greatly beneficial, if they were too few in number, their effectiveness would be akin to dropping a pebble into the ocean. It would be better to cultivate Galaxy Star Silkworms, speeding up resource output, and hire a group of Spiritual Beast Mercenaries.

The ten Contribution Points he had not yet had time to warm in his pocket turned into a hundred silkworm babies.

On the altar, the group of Galaxy Star Silkworms that had appeared seemed to have been grabbed temporarily from the breeding facility—many silkworm babies were still clutching at the shimmering Spirit Plant Leaves, their eyes the size of mung beans filled with confusion, as if wondering why they were here.

"Oops, I forgot that these silkworm babies need to eat Spirit Plant Leaves infused with Star Power!" Chen Jiuge suddenly exclaimed. I was too excited earlier and didn’t think of this. This is troublesome now.

Chen Jiuge’s movement attracted the attention of all the silkworm babies on the altar. They lined up neatly, propping themselves up to look at him.

Chen Jiuge grumbled, I never imagined they would be a batch of Eight Trigrams Silkworms.

Sigh, I wonder if the green leaves of the Meteor Butterfly Sword could be used. They turn into Star Stones when they fall to the ground, so they should contain quite a bit of Star Power.

Coming to the area where the Meteor Butterfly Sword was planted, Chen Jiuge was relieved to find that the Galaxy Star Silkworms not only ate the leaves but also enjoyed them.

He called over the Yuan Shu who were still at work to discuss the issue of the green leaves.

Yuan Shu looked at his new employer somewhat speechlessly. "You want us to help you collect the green leaves that the Meteor Butterfly Sword will soon shed? Do you realize how difficult that task is? There are only a hundred of us apes."

"We’ll double your salary," Chen Jiuge said, knowing he was asking a lot and biting the bullet.

"Deal! How could such a small thing stump us Six Qi Monkeys?" Yuan Shu changed his tune immediately.
