1302 You're an Honorable Miner From Now on!
Inside the cave.
A drastic turn in the situation took place.
The tense atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.
Wang Teng sat on a rock at the side while Ukpur stood obediently before him. A second before he wanted to tear the young human to pieces.
Ukpur was stunned as well.
He hated the human, but for some reason he was unwittingly treating the latter as his master.
I can't resist!
Something's not right!
Something was amiss!
Ukpur didn't want to act that way; he struggled frantically but couldn't break free from the mind conditioning.
His face turned pale and cold sweat started dripping down his forehead.
His expression remained respectful and obedient while those thoughts rushed through his mind
The existence of two conflicting emotions on his face made his expression look strange.
Frightening!
Extremely terrifying!
What on earth is going on?
Ukpur screamed in his heart. Suddenly, an idea came to mind, leaving him dazed.
He thought of something!
The devil ovum!
It was the ovum's Enchantment skill!
The creature was bewildered. His face turned even paler, finding the matter unbelievable.
How is this possible!
He's a human. How could he have the devil ovum's Enchantment skill?
Furthermore, he seemed to be skilled at it.
A moment of carelessness and he fell into the trap. He didn't even know how it happened.
Wang Teng didn't care one bit about the fellow's astonishment and struggle. The seed of enchantment had been planted, making the other incapable of resisting.
The result was final.
"Your name is Ukpur, right?" Wang Teng asked indifferently.
Ukpur wanted to fight back, but to no avail. He couldn't go against the seed of enchantment in his heart, so he replied honestly, "Yes, master."
Wang Teng then asked the most important question, "Where did you hide the devil ovum?"
Ukpur's expression changed. This human came for the devil ovum. Although wanting to stop himself, his lips moved and his voice still came out. "It's in the hands of Devil Emperor Bare Brain."
(ー` ́ー)
Why can't I control my mouth?
Ukpur wanted to cry.
"What? Bare Brain? Like, no brain?" Wang Teng was shocked.
What kind of strange name is this?
Ukpur's expression changed as he responded in a hurry, "It's bare brain, not 'no brain'." He seemed afraid of that devil emperor.
"I don't care if he's bare brain or brainless. It's still a strange name." Wang Teng couldn't think of anything else to respond.
Ukpur: …
What more can I say?
Sir, this has nothing to do with me. The human said it.
He prayed silently in his heart that the devil emperor would never learn of this. If not, he would be doomed to a terrible death.
"Is that fellow a high-tier devil emperor?" Wang Teng asked with a frown.
"Yes." Ukpur nodded, smirking in his heart. Are you afraid now? Devil Emperor Bare Brain is the commanding general of our future invasion into the human world. His power is fathomless. A celestial stage martial warrior like you wouldn't be his match. Why are you still thinking of stealing the devil ovum? You're thinking too highly of yourself.
Wang Teng sighed in his heart. This is a little troublesome
The ovum was in the hands of a devil powerhouse. Was there a chance for him to steal it?
Wang Teng had a sudden thought and asked, "Is the ovum being kept by the devil emperor or did he place it somewhere?"
"Erm…" Ukpur was shocked.
The creature purposely tried misleading him, but Wang Teng saw through the scheme.
"Tell me!" Wang Teng's pupils shrank as he stared at the dark apparition with a cold expression. The effects of the seed of enchantment weren't strong enough. The devil mind apparition still managed to show some resistance.
However, it was still OK. The seed's influence would grow stronger in time, without the host realizing.
"It's in the devil emperor's room. He can't take it along with him," Ukpur still replied in the end.
Wang Teng's eyes glowed. That being the case, he still had a chance.
He contemplated for some time, then asked, "Does he go out regularly?"
"I don't know." Ukpur shook his head. "We wouldn't know, even if Sir went out."
Wang Teng looked at the creature, and felt that the latter was telling the truth.
He was expecting such a reply. That high-tier apparition was probably the most powerful of all the invaders. None of the others would have the right to know his comings and goings.
Our hero then asked a few more questions and was successfully answered to all of them. He ended the questioning by kicking the apparition. "All right, continue digging. You're an honorable miner from now on!"
To hell with being an honorable miner!
How honorable is this?
I don't want…
Ukpur: o(╥_╥)o
This was his mine but he became a worker now!
How miserable!
Ukpur wanted to cry, but he could only pick up his shovel from the ground and continue shoveling.
"Oh right, stop trying to refine the soul in that body. Just let her sleep," said Wang Teng, suddenly reminded.
Poor Moira. He had to do this to avoid detection. It wasn't the time to wake her up.
"Yes!" Ukpur felt worse.
His mine was gone and now, he couldn't even feast on that delicious soul either.
Sir devil emperor, please pinch this bastard to death. Your man is being brutally tortured.
He knew he could only escape the enchantment effect if Wang Teng died.
Wang Teng didn't know that the creature was cursing him in silence. While observing the immaculate energy stone in his hand, Round Ball's voice suddenly echoed in his mind. "Is this the immaculate energy stone?"
"That's right." Wang Teng nodded.
"You're really lucky," Round Ball lamented.
"Hahaha, no one can stop luck from arriving." Wang Teng smiled.
Immaculate energy stones were precious cultivation resources that even universe stage martial warriors would fight for. And yet, he found a mine full of them. This wasn't just being lucky, he was extremely lucky.
However, he soon realized that apparition's mining speed was indeed slow, only managing to dig out two stones after a long time.
He thought for a moment and then waved a hand. The metal armor flaming scorpion appeared in the cave.
After a period of cultivation, it had become a powerful ninth-level emperor star beast, quite suited for the mining task.
He was great at making holes!
"Huh? What a thick force fluctuation." The scorpion immediately noticed the difference in its surroundings. Eyes lighting up, it said, "Master, did you finally remember me? Sob… I thought you had abandoned me. Little White was greatly benefited and is transforming as we speak. I'll be left behind if I don't increase my ability."
"Are you misunderstanding something?" Wang Teng looked at it strangely.
"Huh?" The scorpion was stunned. Then, it asked carefully, "This isn't for me?"
Wang Teng glanced at the beast from the corner of his eye and replied nonchalantly, "No, it's not for you. It's for me."
The metal armor flaming scorpion: (# ̄~ ̄#)
