Chapter 248: Golden-Biting Spirit Rat and Mixed Iron Ape
In the Demon Spirit Realm, just outside the territory of the Thick-Shell Honey Badger clan, Number One Thick-Shell Honey Badger encountered a tool puppet that had emerged from the underground base.
“What’s the master’s message?” Number One Thick-Shell Honey Badger asked, puzzled. Normally, orders were delivered through direct voice transmission, so why send a puppet this time? He hadn’t requested anything either.
The tool puppet remained silent, handing over a spatial artifact and a piece of demon jade.
“What’s going on?” Number One Thick-Shell Honey Badger took the demon jade and began scanning the information inside.
“The master’s base was destroyed by a swarm of spiders,” he muttered, his expression growing darker.
But as he read further, his mood shifted. The master planned to establish a small base beneath his territory and support the rise of the Thick-Shell Honey Badger clan. This news brought a sense of relief.
“Master, rest assured. Number One won’t let you down.”
Helping the master while advancing his own clan? It was an opportunity he couldn’t pass up.
Meanwhile, over ten thousand meters below the Thick-Shell Honey Badger territory, a team of mining puppets had carved out a room. A teleportation formation activated, and a Transformation Stage puppet stepped out.
This puppet carried Grape’s clone, now disguised and back in the demon realm.
As the puppet emerged, hundreds of customized Celestial satellites above the Wan Chong Mountain Range sprang to life, shifting their focus toward the Thick-Shell Honey Badger clan’s territory.
Deeper underground, a young Earth Crystal Spider trailed behind its massive, five-meter-long mother.
“Mother, this underground space is perfect for my nest. May I claim it?” the young spider asked cautiously.
Calling upon its mother for support was already a stroke of luck. Would this request be granted?
“You want your own nest before reaching the Core Formation stage?” the mother replied sternly.
“Little Si, if any other child had asked this, they’d have lost their right to live.”
“But since you’re my most talented offspring, I’ll let it slide. Stay by my side until you reach the Core Formation stage. Then we’ll talk about nests.”
Six pairs of crimson eyes bore into the young spider, radiating brutality and killing intent.
“Understood, Mother,” the young spider said, bowing its head.
“This place is suitable for a nest. I wonder which clan those puppets belong to.”
“We’ll hold onto this area. If no beast race claims it in the future, it’s yours.”
“Thank you, Mother.”
Back in the underground space of Hidden Spirit Island, Xu Fan observed the newly established base beneath the Thick-Shell Honey Badger territory. He pondered his next move: what identity should he adopt when interacting with the beast race?
“Grape, check if there’s any beast clan in history known for forging demon artifacts that was later wiped out,” Xu Fan said after some thought.
“There’s the Golden-Biting Spirit Rat, the Earth Rock clan, the Hundred Elephants clan, and the Mixed Iron Ape clan,” Grape listed.
“The most fitting for you, Master, are the Golden-Biting Spirit Rat and the Mixed Iron Ape clan.”
“Both clans have a history of crafting celestial tools for the beast race.”
Celestial tools for the beast race are equivalent to celestial artifacts for the human race.
A light curtain appeared before Xu Fan, displaying images of the Golden-Biting Spirit Rat and the Mixed Iron Ape.
“Why choose when I can have both?” Xu Fan said with a smirk.
“Since the Golden-Biting Spirit Rat clan used to live underground, let them keep developing there. From now on, all the puppets in that area will look like Golden-Biting Spirit Rats,”
“As for the Mixed Iron Ape clan, let’s find a quiet spot for them to grow slowly,” Xu Fan thought for a moment and said.
“The Golden-Biting Spirit Rat clan will start by relying on the Thick-Shell Honey Badger clan to develop underground.”
Xu Fan paused, then added, “Looks like I’ll need to make you a brother.”
“……” Grape.
This topic wasn’t going away.
A map of the Demon Realm, centered on the Wan Chong Mountain Range, slowly unfolded in front of Xu Fan.
“This area is about the size of a continent in the Human Realm, with four Great Ascension Beast Sovereigns from the Beast God Temple guarding it.”
“Eighty percent of the land is controlled by small, insignificant clans, while only five major clans have beast kings stationed there.”
“There are four places similar to the Wan Chong Mountain Range, and the resource-rich areas are…”
As Xu Fan started cracking open the Blind Box space ring, he listened to Grape’s report.
“With so many small clans around, isn’t this the perfect time to use my Dragon Slayer technique?” Xu Fan said, narrowing his eyes.
“It could work in theory, but you’d need top-tier fighting strength to back it up,” Grape replied.
“I know top-tier strength is necessary, but it’ll take time,” Xu Fan said lightly.
“No rush. Even if the Human Realm and Demon Spirit Realm fully merge, it’ll probably take thousands of years,” Xu Fan mused.
Based on his analysis, when the two realms finally merged, there would be a massive battle, but neither side would be able to overpower the other.
Xu Fan had heard Ning Dao’s thoughts on the War between Realms. While the beast race was stronger overall, the human race had a slight edge in top-tier fighters, and with a stabilizing force in the Human Realm, victory would ultimately go to the humans.
Xu Fan mostly agreed with Ning Dao. After all, once he reached the Great Ascension stage, crushing the beast race would be as easy as waving his hand.
He just wondered if the beast race could hold out until then.
Meanwhile, inside the Heavenly Refining Sect, Master Qianling stared at the newly modified starship with excitement.
“Master Qianling, the spirit energy core of this starship has been installed. It’s expected to move at 1.5 times its original speed.”
“The two main cannons are ready, but because of the starship’s structure, they can only fire together twice. Any more, and the ship’s frame will be damaged.”
Master Qianling looked at the upgraded main cannons, imagining them firing at once, and felt his entire soul ignite with excitement. He couldn’t wait to head to the Extreme Void Domain and take on the beast race warships.
This time, he wanted to fight ten at once!
“Master Iron Spirit, I appreciate your help,” Master Qianling said gratefully.
“No need to thank me. The wreckage from those beast race warships was worth it,” Master Iron Spirit replied with a smile, then added warmly, “Do you want the Heavenly Refining Sect to modify that giant beast race warship you captured?”
“After all, beast race warships are different from ours. If we tweak it, you’ll have another starship to use.”
At that moment, Master Qianling realized he’d been too boastful. Since he planned to give the warship to the Hidden Spirit Sect, why had he bragged about it? Now the entire cultivation world knew he’d captured a giant beast race warship.
