“It’s not over yet?” Ku Tou paused his actions of hitting his grandson, a hint of shock on his face, followed by excitement.

“Can it really continue to recover?”

Facing Ku Tou’s question, Chen Jiuge just nodded lightly, then took out more Life-extending Spirit Fruits.

“Crunch” “Crunch”

After a quarter of an hour, looking at the completely rejuvenated Ku Tou, Chen Jiuge’s face showed a trace of excitement: “There’s really no limit!”

“Doesn’t that mean……”

“Ku Tou, is there anyone like you nearby!”

Compared to subjugating those with average strength, Chen Jiuge preferred someone like Ku Tou, who was once extremely powerful but had become old and weak, nearly losing his strength. This was the best way to enhance strength.

“Leader, there shouldn’t be anyone with my level of strength, but there are quite a few who are slightly weaker and have a similar strength to my incompetent son.”

“It’s just that in the past two years, I was too old and almost immobile, so I don’t know how many of them are still alive.”

“Alright, no rush, let’s check them one by one!”

“Yes!”

Under Ku Tou’s guidance, Chen Jiuge visited all the large and small settlements in the vicinity within seven days.

No matter how rebellious these natives were, under the deterrence of the rejuvenated old chief, they almost all submitted to Chen Jiuge!

…..

“Is this the last place?”

Chen Jiuge looked at Ku Tou with some disappointment and asked.

“Leader, this is the last place. Beyond this is the territory of another large tribe. Their strength is very strong, so strong that even in my youth, I didn’t dare to go there casually!” Ku Tou explained.

“Very strong? Even you didn’t dare to go?” Chen Jiuge was a bit surprised; Ku Tou’s strength was much greater than that of Akam, and although Chen Jiuge didn’t know exactly what level Daluo was, he thought Ku Tou shouldn’t be much weaker.

“I dare not. They are very xenophobic; even the settlements within their territory must pay them food, or they would be eradicated directly.”

“Sarah, when you were young, you visited there. You can ask her.”

“Sarah, you’ve been there?”

Chen Jiuge turned to look at a female powerhouse behind him, with thin leaves forming a simple skirt, and with Sarah’s movements, one could vaguely see the scenery within.

“Leader, I have indeed been there, but I only walked around the edges, and then I was driven out!”

“You didn’t resist?” Chen Jiuge was somewhat surprised, as Sarah’s strength, while not as strong as Ku Tou’s, was on par with Akam’s.

“Couldn’t fight back.” Sarah shook her head.

“Couldn’t fight back!”

This time, Chen Jiuge was a bit shocked. He seemed to have underestimated this small world. The situation here was somewhat beyond his imagination!

“Then let’s go back for now!”

Chen Jiuge didn’t insist on witnessing it himself; he had plenty of time and could take it slow. He wondered what the other few people were doing now?

………

“It can actually be like this!”

Shuibing looked at the native in front of her, whose life and death were completely in her control, with a hint of amazement on her face.

Previously, Shuibing had noticed that when Chen Jiuge selected those natives, he preferred to take the children and youths, and wanted relatively fewer of those who had already matured in combat.

She originally thought Chen Jiuge wanted to personally train them, but it turned out to be because of the Contract.

After all, being of an Alien Race, regardless of how they were nurtured, Shuibing and others always believed that people outside their tribe would have different hearts. Unexpectedly, the Contract in this small world could directly control their life and death.

“If the Contract’s effect continues to be like this, maybe these natives will be great military resources. Whether it’s here or in the True Realm, they can play a significant role!”

“Song Bei, we should get moving!”

Song Bei, who had been meditating with closed eyes, opened them and said calmly, “We should have done this long ago!”

“Let’s first choose a direction and check the settlements mentioned by those natives one by one!”

“By the way, Chen Jiuge should have also gone out. Let’s avoid his position!”

“No problem!”

Shuibing’s actions naturally couldn’t be hidden from the others. Although Divine Sense was greatly restricted at this moment, Daluo’s methods were still there. Finding out what happened merely depended on how much one wanted to pay for it.

Soon, the issue about the Contract and the unparalleled physical talent of the natives were discovered.

Suddenly, the natives became even more sought after than the Innate Fruit, and thus began a vigorous battle for natives!

One settlement after another was conquered, and one native after another was forced to swear allegiance through the Contract.

But just the settlements near the Akam Tribe couldn’t satisfy Daluo’s appetite, especially the most arrogant Jialouluo.

“Is it here?” Jialouluo asked Rossa Ka, the native he had recently subjugated.

“Yes, Master, entering this forest leads to the territory of the Three Lives Tribe. Once we step into it, we’ll be driven out by the Three Lives Tribe; if we’re unlucky, we might even be captured and used as labor!” Rossa Ka explained.

“Interesting, it looks like you’ve been caught before? At your strength, you didn’t have a chance to escape?” Although Jialouluo was reckless and belligerent, he wasn’t stupid.

Rossa Ka had a wry smile on his face: “I couldn’t escape. Although we’re used as labor, the Three Lives Tribe is decent. At least after a certain period, if you want to leave, they won’t stop you, although you can’t stay in their territory.”

“Interesting, catching you and then releasing you, and then catching you again next time!”

“Hahaha, isn’t this just raising you like pigs?”

“I bet when they capture you and use you as labor, after the time is up, you’re definitely physically depleted and far less efficient than before!” Jialouluo laughed.

Rossa Ka gave an awkward smile, which was exactly how it was. No matter what the cultivation was going in, they could completely drain your body, and just before you were utterly spent, they would release you, allowing you to recuperate.

“Then let me go and see for myself!”

“Master, shall we go together?”

“You? Stay put. I don’t want to have to take care of you!”

Jialouluo stepped into the forest, first accompanied by a crashing sound of destruction, followed by unfamiliar curses and Jialouluo’s laughter, and then the intense sound of fighting.

“Master, amazing!” Rossa Ka looked at the continuously collapsing giant trees, listening to the intense sounds of physical clashes and couldn’t help but feel some awe.

Unlike other natives, Rossa Ka was subdued by Jialouluo through battle, sincerely submitting to Jialouluo.

As time passed, Rossa Ka seemed to sense something was wrong—isn’t the number of voices fighting the master increasing?

One hour, two hours, three hours, as dusk fell, Jialouluo’s tall Evil Ghost body slowly walked out of the forest.

“Master, are you alright?” Rossa Ka asked with some concern.

“I’m fine, I just need to rest!” Jialouluo replied lightly.

“Oh, okay, okay.”

Returning alone to the tent, under the candlelight, Jialouluo’s eyes were darkened, his face bruised and swollen, and his arm bent slightly unnaturally.

“Crunch”

Forcing his arm straight, the pain made Jialouluo’s teeth ache.

“These natives really lack the martial virtue; they actually ganged up on me!”

“However, thinking about it, the strength of this Three Lives Tribe is somewhat outrageously strong!”

Recalling the first native he fought against, though not up to his own strength, was far stronger than Rossa Ka and comparable to Akam.

As for the ones that came later, not to mention, each stronger than Akam, they gave Jialouluo quite the emotional fatigue.

Individually, none could compare to Jialouluo, but there were simply too many of them. Especially under the Law of this place, their Physical Power aspect was particularly strong, and Divine Skills were only useful to build houses, start fires, and cause small rains, utterly useless here.

“Whew, I need to find people too!”

The more Jialouluo thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, having never been in such a sorry state, being ganged up on and not fighting back was indeed disgraceful!

“Who should I find?”

“Bai Li and Feng Cang, they’re both decent. Their personalities are straightforward, though they might be a bit talkative. Shuibing and Song Bei are a no-go.”

“As for Chen Jiuge, we’ll hold off on deciding, Meng Ze…..”

After a long hesitation, Jialouluo decided to bring Meng Ze along as well, as during all this time, Meng Ze hadn’t caused any trouble in Star Moon, even more stable than himself and others, and could be considered the best assistant.

“Let’s settle it for now!”

Several streaks of light shot into the sky.
