The Master of Beasts-Chapter 774 - 243: Subjugation

"My lords, what brings you to these lands?"

The indigenous chief knelt on the ground, cautiously inquiring.

"Where is the dignity of a strong man?" Jialouluo suddenly exclaimed angrily.

"Eh?" The indigenous chief looked puzzled at the abruptly enraged Jialouluo and cautiously said, "I couldn't defeat you, my lords, so I surrendered, isn't that quite normal?"

Shuibing and the others exchanged looks, and Feng Cang asked, "You surrender because you can't win, like this?"

"Yes, isn't that how it always is?" The indigenous chief responded, utterly confused.

"Interesting, seems like they haven't evolved. This could be a good opportunity for us!"

Unrefined civilization indicates that they haven't developed the concept of races fully; though they do have some aversion to outsiders, it's not particularly strong.

For instance, this indigenous chief facing the easily handled Haier Brothers was arrogant, yet he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy before Jialouluo and others without any resistance.

"Why don't you lead us to your tribe?"

Chen Jiuge stepped forward and said.

"Who are you?"

Seeing someone even less formidable than himself stepping forward to command him, the indigenous chief's mood grew worse. Just as he was about to retort, Sorrowful Girl blandly remarked, "Answer whatever the master asks!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"No problem, no problem, my lords, follow me!"

........

While leading the way, Chen Jiuge learned the indigenous chief's name — Akam!

The familiar name with a neurotic tone made Chen Jiuge almost think this guy traveled here just like him, if it weren't for the mismatched signals.

When Chen Jiuge and his group finally reached Akam's tribe, they saw that it was quite large, with a diameter of at least Baili, and that was just the residential area, excluding the territory.

"How many people are in your tribe?"

Looking at faces just like those of the Human Clan, Chen Jiuge frowned slightly.

Does Akam know how to exploit biological compassion?

One has to admit he succeeded, even though those natives resemble humans, they are essentially not of the Human Clan.

The infants of beings most effectively stir adults' protective instincts, but can also provoke destructive urges — though Chen Jiuge being decent, feels no such mad destructive urge.

"Bang"

After knocking down all the so-called warriors in Akam's tribe, Bai Li shrugged and said, "What's your plan? Kill them?"

"How could I!" Chen Jiuge blankly stared at Bai Li; even if he were duller, he wouldn't opt to kill them all!

It's not like he's some mass murderer. Their bodies are just notably resilient, and with the civilization's flame unlit, they make perfect laborers, and Star Moon City desperately needs such people!

"Keep them? Isn't that too many?" Feng Cang frowned slightly.

"Xiao Hong, how many are there?"

Xiao Hong pulled out a notebook, "A preliminary understanding tells us around a hundred thousand, though they can't count, so the statistical error is just within ten or twenty thousand."

"About a hundred thousand, huh? Not that many then!"

Considering the enrollment of various tribes, the team now sums up to nearly thirty thousand, making this relatively insignificant.

African colonizers, each white household had over a hundred black slaves working for them; now it's roughly three natives per person, still far from enough.

Moreover, searching for the Innate Fruit that enraptures all four tribes requires a large workforce. This number of natives is insufficient, far from enough!

"That's not the main point, the focus is the Innate Fruit!"

Feng Cang held an Innate Fruit snatched from a native child, looking excited.

"Absolutely!" Bai Li agreed.

Jialouluo and Meng Ze, already huddled together at some unknown point, were asking Akam about the Innate Fruit's origin.

"Are you talking about this?" Akam looked bewildered at the Innate Fruit in their hands.

"Yes, where are these found?" Meng Ze urged.

Akam scratched his head confusedly, "They're just wild fruits, outdated and useless; I remember there are loads at the back of the territory!"

"Back there, is it?" Meng Ze pointed to the northern part of the tribe.

"Yes, exactly there!"

"Whoosh!"

Jialouluo vanished instantly, Meng Ze muttered 'sly,' and swiftly rose to follow.

Noticing their actions, Feng Cang and Bai Li didn't hesitate and rushed to catch up.

"Wait, Senior Shuibing, you shouldn't need them, right?" Looking at Shuibing tempted much, Chen Jiuge blankly asked.

Shuibing coquettishly smiled, "Who knows."

Innate Fruit was surely useless to Shuibing, but she had a thought — Chen Jiuge, being the host of the Supreme Treasure Chaos Pearl, possessed unparalleled qualities. Maybe she could find a way to bear offspring with him. Inheriting Chen Jiuge's capabilities would be truly marvelous.

As for propriety, it means nothing to Daluo; power, cultivation, and continual progression are the true pursuits.

Especially with life span emerging once more, offspring for immortals become tangible rather than ephemeral heritage of bloodline!

"It's indeed crazy!" Chen Jiuge remarked, puzzled.

"Perhaps I'm just too young, huh!"

"Sorrowful Girl, watch over Akam, I'll start reorganizing now!" Chen Jiuge smiled brightly at the natives before him.

"By the way, Senior Song Bei, would you like to join?"

Song Bei shook his head repeatedly, "I'll opt-out, if any strong foes come, notify me!"

Saying so, Song Bei randomly picked a large, clean house for rest — whose property it originally was mattered not; his presence made it his!

"Akam, first pick out your so-called warriors, then select the children!"

"Yes, my lord." Akam replied bitterly.

Being a prisoner from a leader is obviously tough, yet with Sorrowful Girl nearby, he dared not protest.

Brandishing the bloodline of Chaos God Demon, Sorrowful Girl's physique surpassed typical cultivators, even body cultivation might be unmatched. Within this peculiar realm, she could be the strongest among many of the Daluo present.

Before long, Akam had divided his people into several groups: elderly, women, children, warriors appearing sequentially before Chen Jiuge.

"Enough talk, now you're my slaves, perhaps you don't know what slaves are, let me simplify it."

"Hereafter, whatever I demand of you, you must comply; defiance means no food, perhaps even death!"

"Bang"

The fist left a deep pit in the ground. Apart from Akam, almost none in the tribe could replicate Chen Jiuge's feat.

Not overly exaggerated given apart from the Guardian Beast, Chen Jiuge's sole merit was his body; fundamentally, he was a body cultivator, a distinctly pure body cultivator!

"Good!"

"But I'm not the Devil!"

"Clatter"

Numerous Green Jade Wine Vats appeared; Chen Jiuge waved his arm, a gust blew through, opening the wine vats and releasing an alluring fragrance, causing the yet-to-evolve natives to become half-dizzy.

"As long as you work diligently, perform well, you can have these!"

"May I ask, my lord, what is this?" Akam salivated impatiently.

"Curious? Then taste it!"

"Gulp, gulp"

First-tasting alcohol, Akam widened his eyes, incredulous, "Good, great stuff, invigorating!"

"You like it? Then perform well!"

"This wine, consider it your welcome gift for joining me!"

Following his words, those previously quiet natives revealed their ferocious side!

Frail tribespeople got knocked away by stronger ones; Chen Jiuge even witnessed a child tossed hundreds of meters by a relative, crashing through a stone house.

Yet the kid limped back out, making Chen Jiuge realize another tribal advantage — robust life force!

Instructing Sorrowful Girl to keep an eye to avoid fatalities, Chen Jiuge ignored their chaotic scuffle, instead turning to the wretched Haier Brothers.

"My lord, are you the City Lord of Star Moon City!" Haier asked humbly.

"Ahahaha, have you made up your mind?"
