It was unknown how much time had passed by till the towering Python finally stopped.
Immediately after, it swooped straight toward the ground.
Its terrifying speed stirred up a fierce gale.
It was so fast that the wind brushing against the Chimpanzee was akin to razor-sharp blades.
*Schlick, schlick…” Some of the weaker Chimpanzees had no time to react, and their flesh were torn by the raging winds. Yet, at this moment, they did not feel anything.
Because, at this moment, the ginormous Python began to coil like a snake.
By the time they realized, before them stood a towering giant tree concealed within the dense mist.
“How does it feel?” Yu Zi Yu chuckled with a tinge of nonchalance. For Yu Zi Yu, moving a portion of the tree root was a trifling matter. At most, it was like basking in the sun after spending too long underground.
However, for these Chimpanzees, it was like a nightmare come true. It was a terrifying experience. An extremely terrifying experience. The thunderous momentum that ripped through the skies would likely remain etched in their minds forever.
This was the might of their future Master—the might of the Divine Tree.—-
Afterward, Yu Zi Yu did not say anything to them, he just controlled the rootlets to lower them.
After putting each Chimpanzee to the ground, Yu Zi Yu directed the sub-root to return underground.
The sub-root was indeed incredibly fearsome. It should not be moved unless as a last alternative.
As Yu Zi Yu raised his gaze and looked into the distance, the colossal crevice was slowly being filled. Yet, even as the chasm closed, the residual scars were like wounds on the earth, which would not heal for a long time.
*Ha…* A sigh escaped Yu Zi Yu’s lips as a bit of helplessness struck him. This was the reason he was hesitant to move the sub-root at will. Due the immense size of the sub-root, even the slightest movement would have a devastating impact on the land.
If he were to unleash all nine sub-roots, the entire Misty Mountains would likely crumble. It would be an extremely terrifying sight.
Consequently, the exposure risk Yu Zi Yu would be facing would increase exponentially.
Fortunately, for now, he was safe.
The subsequent Spiritual Energy fluctuation caused by just one sub-root could be suppressed by the mist. As for the residual scars on the earth, Yu Zi Yu could use the root to flip over and erase most of them, thus alleviating unnecessary concerns.
…
At this moment, as if struck by a thought, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze suddenly shifted.
Looking at Chimpanzees riddled with cuts, Yu Zi Yu extended a branch into the Spirit Pool, and then gently swayed it over them.
The next moment, drops of Spirit Essence rained down on the Chimpanzees.
*Roar, Roar, Roar…* The Chimpanzees immediately started roaring, wearing an excited look on their faces. Some even thumped their chests in enthusiasm.
Under the nurturing touch of the Spirit Essence, their wounds began to slowly mend. More astonishingly, the Spiritual Energy of several Chimpanzees began to fluctuate, indicating signs of a breakthrough.
Narrowing his eyes, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze fell upon a few Mutant Chimpanzees whose aura had become unstable.
“These few have impressive talents.”
With a smile, Yu Zi Yu took a note of them. After all, he always treated Mutant Beasts with exceptional talents favorably.
Just like now, he had decided to bestow upon these Mutant Chimpanzees the name ‘King Kong.’
King Kong – standing at the pinnacle of the entire Chimpanzee Tribe, they would become the royal family of the Chimpanzee Tribe in the future.
A smirk played on Yu Zi Yu’s lips as he felt somewhat proud.
This kind of hierarchical differentiation should stimulate the motivation of these Chimpanzees to a great extent.
It would also aid his control over the Chimpanzee Tribe.
Not only the Chimpanzee Tribe, but the future Wolf Tribe and Rat Tribe would also undergo hierarchical divisions under Yu Zi Yu’s plan.
For instance, the Wolf Tribe could be divided into the Azure Wolves and the superior Storm Wolves.
Similarly, the few Rats that Yu Zi Yu had put under Leng Feng and Qian Qin’s care recently would become the royalty of the Rat Tribe. After all, Yu Zi Yu was only one person. Despite having Qing Er and the nine Great Beasts to assist him, controlling thousands of Mutant Beasts was still an extremely difficult task.
Given this, Yu Zi Yu naturally opted for another method – a hierarchy within various Mutant Beasts and even Tribes.
He believed that by controlling the so-called ‘royalty’ or the elite members of each group, he would be able to control the entire tribe.
…
Right at this moment…
*Roar…* A low roar rang out as the leading King Kong smashed its fists on the ground.
Following suit, all the Chimpanzees behind King Kong also pounded their fists on the ground, respectfully looking in Yu Zi Yu’s direction, much to Yu Zi Yu’s intrigue.
“Well!? Yu Zi Yu was perplexed, unable to immediately grasp the situation
However, after a moment, an explanatory voice seemed to sound in his ears, “This should be the Chimpanzee Tribe’s way of declaring allegiance.”
“They are declaring allegiance!?“ Listening to Qing Er’s explanation, Yu Zi Yu could not help but chuckle.
[As expected, these fellows were quite astute.] With this thought in mind, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze shifted to Qing Er, who was perched on his treetop.
“Qing Er, please take them to where Qing Gang is underground.”
“So soon? You are already sending them for underground construction?” Qing Er asked in surprise with a look of astonishment on her face..
“Yes.” Nodding, Yu Zi Yu candidly explained, “The sooner they start, the better. Also, I’ll leave it to you to devise a military training method from the Humans, don’t forget.”
“As you command, Master. Rest assured, Qing Er will not forget.” Flashing a mischievous smile, Qing Er transformed into a streak of red light and shot toward the leading King Kong.
Moments later…
Yu Zi Yu saw Chimpanzees following behind King Kong one behind the other, marching in an orderly manner towards the depths of the underground.
“In terms of discipline alone, these fellows are worth nurturing.” Observing these well-disciplined Chimpanzees, Yu Zi Yu nodded in silent approval. Subsequently, he began considering what resources to provide to these creatures.
The core resource would be the Life Essence, but promising it lightly was out of the question. After all, the nine Great Beasts, these truly exceptional Mutant Beasts very much coveted the Life Essence. Moreover, the three Generals ranked just below the nine Great Beasts – The Honey Badger, Armored Wild Boar, and Golden Monkey occasionally required Life Essence as well.
However, that wasn’t the most important aspect. The crucial point was that Yu Zi Yu’s production of Life Essence was limited. For a population like the Chimpanzees, if he were to promise them, he feared it could lead to significant trouble.
As a result, except for King Kong, he really could not promise Life Essence to other Chimpanzees.
Apart from Life Essence, the remaining options would be the water from Spirit Pond, and Earth-Attribute Spirit Stones.
[Ah, right!] As if he had thought of something, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes brightened.
He possessed another treasure – the Elemental Flowers, a type of Spirit Flower far superior to the Life Essence, which was of little use to him. Only because they were born due to Yu Zi Yu’s body rejecting foreign substances.
If he could cultivate this kind of Spirit Flower on a large scale, it could be offered as a new resource to various Mutant Beasts.
Ashish: Will be using Spirit Pool for the lake in canyon, and Spirit Lake for the lake made by Sarcosuchus to differentiate.
