Chapter 676: Shaping Fear
After getting rid of these two idiots, Bai Qi continued forward and, under the guidance of the guards, came to Xiao Mu's office.
"Bai Qi, why are you here suddenly? Is there any result from the research on dead beasts?"
Xiao Mu put down the documents in his hand and asked.
Because it involves the power of death, Xiao Mu did not assign the task of researching dead beasts to others, but gave it entirely to Bai Qi to handle.
After all, Bai Qi is not only a legend, has a pet that possesses the power of death, and is also a research talent, so he is the most suitable person.
It is still unclear whether other people can figure it out if they get involved. Don't let them be corroded by the death virus.
"Not yet. I need a dead animal closer to the source of the infection."
Bai Qi shook his head and said, "If possible, let Xihai hurry up and search for it. It will do them no good to let the dead beast roam free."
"Western Sea is already trying hard, but the dead beasts are contagious to everyone below the Emperor, so they are also in a difficult situation."
Xiao Mu nodded slightly and said.
"Too."
Bai Qi understood and said, "By the way, Senior, is there still no harvest from the Eight Heroes Gathering?"
"They are very tight-lipped and we can't force them to search their memories, so we can only rely on the sonic dolphin to grind them away."
Xiao Mu sighed and said, "I have to admit that the tribe has not lived in vain over the years. The method of binding human souls is getting stronger and stronger."
Bai Qi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. Humans started out as slaves and have been rebelling until now, and are now competing with the tribe. It would be unrealistic to say that the tribe has not grown up with their own ideas.
But this talisman is truly powerful, as it can leave so many legends at a loss.
"By the way, Bai Qi, you are very knowledgeable about runes, why don't you go and take a look?"
Xiao Mu smiled and said, "Actually, I wanted to find you a long time ago, but the matter of the dead beast is more important, so I didn't disturb you."
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
Bai Qi nodded slightly, and a gleam of curiosity flashed in his eyes.
Come to think of it, if it weren’t for the Black Water Tribe’s Horcrux, Bai Qi probably wouldn’t have been able to develop the Spirit Control Ball so quickly. Maybe he can develop something else this time?
With some expectations, Bai Qi came to the place where the Eight Heroes were imprisoned.
At this time, the supersonic dolphin was constantly making sounds that were inaudible to human ears, gradually changing the consciousness of the Eight Heroes.
But even though Sonic carefully controlled his power, it would occasionally trigger the spell in the souls of the Eight Heroes, causing them to wake up.
"Fortunately, I didn't accept the tribe's invitation to cooperate. Otherwise, if they had implanted this spell on me, Xihai would probably have become a slave of the tribe forever."
Seeing this, Sonic temporarily dissipated his skills and sighed helplessly.
"It seems that this spell is quite sensitive."
At this moment, Bai Qi, who had been watching from the side for a while, couldn't help but speak up and said, "Have you ever thought of finding someone else to suppress the spell so that you can brainwash them?"
Hearing this, Super Sonic Pig looked back at Bai Qi and said, "I've tried it a long time ago. It's very difficult. Unless the two people are in tune with each other, as long as one of them has a problem, the spell will be triggered."
"Moreover, the impression left by the Black Water Python on them is too deep. Even if they can suppress the spell, they will not be able to wash away this impression in a short period of time."
"Is it so troublesome?"
Bai Qi frowned slightly when he heard this and asked, "Can you see the spell engraved on their souls?"
Sonic is also a spiritual creature and a legendary, so this shouldn't be a problem.
"Okay, but we sea beasts don't know much about runes, so they won't be of any help to me."
“You don’t have research, but I do.”
Bai Qi shrugged, took out an electronic board, handed it to Chaosonic Pig, and said, "Please draw the spell you see as accurately as possible."
Sonic remained silent upon hearing this, feeling as if he was being mocked, but he still obediently drew the talisman he had sensed and handed it to Bai Qi.
"I see... and a structure that amplifies emotions is added? No wonder it's so difficult to deal with."
Bai Qi studied it carefully for a long time and finally figured out something.
Because of the experience of the Emperor of Law, Bai Qi's rune level also improved, and he also mastered many runes that are no longer circulated.
Among them, there is this rune that amplifies emotions.
"Amplify emotions? Can runes do this?"
Sonic Pig was a little surprised when he heard this. He had certainly heard that humans, including tribes, could exert stronger power through runes. However, these delicate tasks were really difficult for the huge sea beasts, and there was no need for them, so runes had never developed in the sea beast circle.
But now it seems that their waters are really a bit outdated.
"No wonder your sea area is so large, but its development is not as strong as the tribe. It really makes sense."
Bai Qi couldn't help but this, but then he felt a little scared.
Fortunately, the sea area has not developed, otherwise, with the rich resources and large number of creatures in the sea area, it is estimated that humans will have no chance to survive.
"Yeah, we will definitely learn more from the Federation."
Hearing Bai Qi's ridicule, Super Sonic Pig was not angry at all, but responded very humbly.
Well, I feel like I have let down future humans.
Bai Qi twitched the corner of his mouth and continued to study the talisman.
Just as Shuke said, this spell is quite complicated. If one wants to break through it by force, the difficulty is no different from the emperor confronting a legend head-on.
So either you spend time breaking the spell, or let the Sonic Pig continue to grind slowly.
"But with the structure that strengthens emotions, it's really difficult to make these people forget about the Black Water Python, unless..."
Bai Qi pondered for a while, looking at Bajijie who was in a coma with his eyes closed, and suddenly thought of something.
"Maybe, this is okay?"
…
Interrogation room.
The eight heroes who were originally locked up together woke up one after another, only to find that their companions were no longer around them, and there was a black helmet on their heads.
"What do you want to do to us? We said that no matter what you do, we will not betray Lord Blackwater!"
The man with slicked back hair looked fiercely at the camera in front of him and roared.
"This guy is really in good spirits."
Bai Qi couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, then looked at Nicholas and Chongcao beside him and said, "Have you memorized the specific operation process?"
"Don't worry, I will definitely let them feel the majesty of a dragon."
Nicholas patted his chest vigorously and said.
"Don't worry, Chief. I promise to make Sir Nicholas the epitome of fear."
Chongcao also said seriously.
"Very good, let's get started."
Bai Qi grinned when he heard this and glanced at the eight heroes who were imprisoned separately, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Then I will begin. Sir Nicholas, please be ready."
After Chongcao adjusted his state, the light of the blue sun shone from above the heads of the Eight Heroes, dyeing their cells green.
"Dream-related skills, everyone be careful!"
The guy with the slicked-back hair noticed the abnormality at the first moment, and without caring whether it was useful or not, he just roared.
It was obvious that Bai Qi and the others would not allow this kind of information transmission to happen at all. No matter how the Eight Heroes roared, they could not notify the next door, but instead made themselves become emotional.
"Now!"
Finally, Chongcao seized the opportunity, and a pair of black eyes appeared behind him, staring down at Bajijie.
In an instant, the eight heroes all felt a darkness in front of their eyes, and they were transported from their original cells into a dark world.
"It's really a dream skill! "
The man with the slicked-back hair became more alert and had already guessed what Bai Qi and his group were planning.
"You want to use dreams to get information? Dream on!"
The man with the slicked-back hair snorted coldly, then actually closed his eyes and began to sense.
Gradually, other people's figures suddenly appeared in the originally silent dream, and even figures gradually flashed, and they were the other eight heroes.
"Lord Blackwater is indeed powerful. This dream has become a platform for us to connect with each other."
The man with the slicked-back hair showed a touch of admiration when he saw this. He looked at his companion who was gradually condensing into a solid entity in front of him, and then he tested it cautiously. After confirming that the problem was correct, he felt relieved.
"This Bai Qi is indeed a genius. He actually thought of using this method. Unfortunately, he didn't know that our Bajijie's souls had already been connected because of the contract. He shot himself in the foot by doing this."
A baby-faced boy said with a mocking look on his face, "Now that the eight of us have gathered here together, we can summon the power of Yaki to break free from the restraints."
"No, this is the headquarters of the Deep Sea Alliance. Even if we break free, we may not be able to leave."
The man with the slicked back hair shook his head and said, "Also, don't forget the strange runes that Bai Qi used before. We may not be his opponent."
Hearing this, the Eight Heroes fell silent.
"The only way now is for us to completely give up our human identities and give our bodies and minds to Lord Blackwater. Perhaps we can truly break through the legend, and this way we can avoid being broken out of the beast state."
"But I won't be able to turn back into a human anymore..."
When the man with the slicked-back hair said this, the eight heroes all raised their heads, some hesitant, some expectant, with a very complicated expression.
They were originally beastmasters of the Federation, but they joined the tribe because of their lack of talent and successfully improved their strength.
But I still feel a little guilty about letting them completely transform into another species.
But these hesitations only lasted for a moment, and the Eight Heroes made a decision.
"Even if I have to die, I have to die decently. Let's take a gamble!"
The Eight Heroes looked at each other, made a decision together, then sat down in a circle and began to visualize the image of Black Water at the same time.
Gradually, eight giant snakes with different attributes emerged behind the people, and gradually merged together, turning into the appearance of black water, and the souls of the people also began to change little by little.
This is when they completely gave up their inner reserve and allowed the binding curse to transform their souls.
Once the transformation is completed, they will be true orcs.
Finally, when their souls were halfway through transformation, Black Water's shadow suddenly became agile, and the Eight Heroes immediately revealed expressions of delight.
After being signed into a slave contract, they can also contact Black Water like pets, and can also borrow Black Water's power, which increases the probability of escape.
roar!!!
At this moment, in the horrified eyes of the Eight Heroes, a giant dragon descended from the sky, stepped on Heishui's phantom to the ground, pierced its sharp fangs into Heishui's head, and with a strong pull, it actually tore it off.
"Bah! How dare a big beast come to my territory and run wild? Die now!"
