Chapter 216: Delivering the Ingredients
“Chief, that member of the Sea Breeze Tribe has told us everything,” Bai Ruo Xin said as she controlled the stone house to follow the swamp crocodile at an angle three hundred meters behind.
“This spirit mine used by the Sea Breeze Tribe to control fierce beasts was found by a tribe member by chance in a massive abyss that goes directly to the seabed, located in the center of the island.”
“These two types of spirit mines are naturally formed together. The silver-white spirit mine, once swallowed by a fierce beast, will adhere to its stomach.”
“Other beings only need to keep the yellow spirit mine close to them for a long time. Gradually, they will be able to influence the fierce beast that swallowed the silver-white spirit mine with their thoughts.”
“The stronger the fierce beast, the longer it takes. Additionally, it is beneficial for both sides to be as close together as possible during this period of influence.”
“The properties of these spirit mines are indeed strange,” Yi Chen remarked, clicking his tongue.
This outcome was about what he expected.
Unfortunately, the grade of these spirit mines was too high. With his strength realm at the second stage of Separation, although he could barely test an eighth-grade spirit mine, he still could not assess the properties of these spirit mines.
Otherwise, he could have improved the Beast Taming Technique based on these properties to complement its shortcomings.
The biggest flaw of the Beast Taming Technique was that in the early stage, it required using dominating methods to force the fierce beast to accept a Blood Pledge of Dominance.
After the Blood Pledge of Dominance, there was also a significant risk, as it depended on a long period to cultivate feelings with the fierce beast.
These two types of spirit mines must have properties that create a special bond between the two beings.
If thoroughly studied and integrated into the Beast Taming Technique, it could undoubtedly make it easier for users to tame fierce beasts and cultivate feelings with them.
As for using these two types of spirit mines to control powerful fierce beasts, Yi Chen had not considered it at all.
Because not only did these spirit mines have the flaw of the user being weak, but they also had a huge downside.
If the fierce beast itself discovered the truth, it could easily remove the silver-white spirit mine.
Although the silver-white spirit mine had strong adhesion, it could only ensure that it remained attached to the fierce beast’s stomach when the beast was unaware of it.
If the fierce beast knew, it could simply mobilize a small amount of energy from the crystal to pull out the silver-white spirit mine and expel it from its body.
This was an extremely dangerous hidden danger.
A powerful fierce beast nearby could potentially turn against them at any moment.
“Let’s stick to the original plan!”
Yi Chen calculated for a moment and did not change the already set plan.
There were many methods to conquer the Sea Breeze Tribe.
He only needed to target the flaws of these two types of spirit mines.
However, what he valued was the population of the Sea Breeze Tribe, focusing on conquering the entire tribe without causing significant casualties.
In this way, seizing all the spirit mines used to control fierce beasts with a single strike would be the best method.
The speed of the flying treasure was not very fast, mainly to accommodate the reserve troops at the back.
The average strength of the reserve troops was only at the second stage of Spirit Law. While they could fly in the air at a decent speed, it was still far from comparable to the speed of the flying treasure.
After more than two hours, the swamp crocodile and the Little Gold Ball on its head finally entered within one hundred kilometers of the Sea Breeze Tribe’s rising island.
A few kilometers ahead, within the range of Yi Chen’s divine consciousness, a Sea Breeze Tribe member was controlling a Blue Shark to come and investigate.
Due to being close to its head, the thought transmission was stronger, and he wore a headband on his forehead.
However, this headband was red.
With a thought, Yi Chen easily removed the headband from his forehead.
At the same time, he used his divine consciousness to control the Sea Breeze Tribe member and flung him, along with the headband, toward the four armies in the back.
Immediately, a warrior from the four armies flew forward to capture the tribe member and the headband.
Next, he used his divine consciousness to send a thought into the headband, instructing the three marine fierce beasts under its control to gather.
Then, he transferred the Sea Breeze Tribe member and the headband to the reserve army.
The reserve army was responsible for handling the Sea Breeze Tribe member and the three marine fierce beasts.
The former would be controlled and taken away by the logistics personnel arranged by the Political Council.
The latter would be handled based on their strength.
Powerful marine fierce beasts would not be passed back down but would only be temporarily monitored by the warriors of the four armies until the number reached a certain amount, and then they would be taken to an area far from the ocean to roam freely.
Weaker marine fierce beasts would be monitored by the warriors of the reserve army until they reached a certain number and then taken far away to be released.
This was done mainly to prevent any fierce beasts from turning against them.
As for how to handle these fierce beasts once released, the Political Council already had plans in place.
At this stage, the main goal was definitely to conquer the Sea Breeze Tribe and all the islands under its control.
From Yi Chen’s perspective, what he wanted most was an expansion of influence.
Logically, the area controlled by the Sea Breeze Tribe was the primary target.
However, humanity was the foundation for Yi Chen’s future ambitions to control a larger territory.
Therefore, with the Flame Mountain Tribe only having around a hundred thousand tribe members, the approximately seven hundred thousand tribe members under the Sea Breeze Tribe’s control became Yi Chen’s greatest target.
All actions had to prioritize this largest goal.
For this reason, he first relocated the marine fierce beasts controlled by the headband away from all the islands.
Once all the Sea Breeze Tribe members were controlled and relocated, he would then deal with the Sea Breeze Tribe’s marine territory and fierce beasts.
These fierce beasts, controlled by spirit mines, posed a significant risk, but initially, they would still be managed with spirit mines to ensure the Sea Breeze Tribe’s marine territory became part of the Flame Mountain Tribe’s influence.
Once the Sea Breeze Tribe’s marine territory was fully digested and integrated, the Western Army would further filter through and control the powerful marine fierce beasts using the Beast Taming Technique.
Building on the foundation of the Sea Breeze Tribe, they would continue to expand the marine territory and rapidly increase their influence.
They could even use these powerful fierce beasts to counter the significant forces faced by the other three armies.
The entire plan was somewhat complicated and cautious, taking a considerable amount of time.
But this approach maximized benefits and minimized unexpected situations.
Yi Chen was in no rush.
The speed of expanding influence fundamentally depended on population and average strength.
Before the establishment of the Cave Paradise, the realm ceiling for ordinary tribe members could only reach the Ninth Level of Spirit Law, and they could not continue to advance beyond that.
As for the talented individuals, they would also be limited by their comprehension, resulting in a slower growth rate.
Once this issue was resolved, along with a large population, the speed of expansion would dramatically increase.
At this stage, using the Beast Taming Technique to control a batch of powerful fierce beasts would keep the expansion speed at a reasonably manageable level.
He continued to press forward.
At the edge of Yi Chen’s divine consciousness coverage, a large number of Sea Breeze Tribe members suddenly appeared.
Each of these tribe members rode a Blue Shark beneath them.
Below, a multitude of powerful marine fierce beasts lay in wait.
In Yi Chen’s eyes, they were all coming to deliver ingredients.
