chapter 144 part 2
It was a small trick he had developed in his application of Curse Power.
That last jolt had completely consumed the residual Curse Power, but the Demon Snake Naga didn't know that.
"Rest assured, you only need to help me raise Goblins for four years. After four years, I will personally remove this power for you."
A gentle smile returned to Tang Zheng's face. "Your ability should tell you that I'm not lying, right?"
"Lord of the Great Forest of Tob, Your Excellency Rulalusi."
"I am willing!"
Hearing the words "Lord of the Great Forest of Tob," the Demon Snake Naga prostrated himself on the ground, both thrilled and terrified.
...
After the matter was settled, Tang Zheng let the Demon Snake Naga leave on his own, telling him to gather the powerful Wild Beasts and Magical Beasts from his territory.
Naturally, he had no intention of letting go of the Experience in that region.
As for whether the Demon Snake Naga would have any ulterior motives?
Tang Zheng didn't care in the least. Even with subordinates of the same Human race, one could not guarantee their loyalty, let alone a demi-human of a completely different race.
He just needed to ensure the Demon Snake Naga would do as he was told. And after four years?
The Demon Snake Naga would no longer be important.
"There are still too few useful hands," Tang Zheng sighed to himself and returned to the cave entrance.
He stored the wooden bucket full of blood in his item box, then took out another large wooden barrel and placed it beneath Troll Gu to continue collecting blood.
This couldn't be wasted.
Troll Gu's regeneration ability was stronger than that of an ordinary Troll.
Tang Zheng felt that his blood could probably be used to create even better regeneration potions.
"Right, I forgot to get some blood from the Demon Snake Naga. I wonder what kind of effect an alchemical potion made from his blood would have?"
"I'll have to get some next time."
Tang Zheng thought to himself.
Lower Fire Month, September 25th.
After more than half a month, Tang Zheng once again entered the domain of the Forest Sage King Hamsuke.
In mid-air, Tang Zheng was covered in a layer of magic power, looking down at the deep, lush forest below. With a wave of his arm, five Ogre corpses appeared in the air and then crashed heavily toward the ground.
*Bang!*
The Ogre corpses slammed into the jungle below, creating a huge crash that startled a flurry of birds and provoked the roars of Wild Beasts.
Then, he waited.
Tang Zheng's item box had been cleared of all Goblin corpses, which he had distributed to the Ogres who had worked for him earlier.
Now, his item box contained over 200 Ogre corpses.
He didn't bring the Lesser Soulhound this time. Firstly, it wouldn't be much help in the upcoming combat. Secondly, he needed the Lesser Soulhound to watch over the controlled Troll Gu.
"Charm Species" had a time limit.
He had already restocked thirty Third-Tier "Summon Angel" scrolls. He was originally supposed to be making Fourth-Tier "Summon Angel" scrolls, but to deal with the upcoming situation, he temporarily crafted a few "Charm Species" magic scrolls. He gave them to the Lesser Soulhound, instructing it to bite open a scroll and cast it again once the charm magic's effect on Troll Gu wore off.
*Rustle!*
*Swoosh!*
Sounds quickly came from the jungle below.
Floating in mid-air, Tang Zheng clearly noticed a grayish-white figure rapidly weaving through the dense jungle.
It was approaching the location of the five Ogre corpses.
*Whoosh—*
Forest Sage King Hamsuke's seemingly plump body moved with nimble speed, easily vaulting over layers of gnarled trees to arrive before the five Ogre corpses.
"Corpses?"
Forest Sage King Hamsuke stood up on its hind legs, raised a forelimb to cover its nose, and a human-like expression of disgust appeared on its face. "No wonder the disgusting smell is so strong."
"Why are there Ogre corpses here?"
Forest Sage King Hamsuke tilted its head, its eerie, glowing eyes filled with confusion in the dim jungle surroundings.
This suddenly reminded it of that human who had escaped some time ago!
He could fly!
It hated flying things the most!
*Boom!*
At that moment, the sharp sound of something slicing through the air came from above.
Forest Sage King Hamsuke raised its head to look up, but due to the thick foliage blocking its view, it saw nothing.
But the next moment!
A brilliant mana slash tore through the obscuring foliage and appeared in the Forest Sage King Hamsuke's vision.
*Bang—*
Forest Sage King Hamsuke swung a forelimb. Its five blackish-gray claws, gleaming with a metallic luster, collided with the incoming mana slash, creating a deafening roar.
An airwave erupted!
Forest Sage King Hamsuke shook its head, flicking off the broken twigs and leaves that had fallen on it, and looked up again.
The impact of the attack and the mana slash had cleared a long, narrow patch in the dense canopy above.
"It's you, you detestable human!!"
Forest Sage King Hamsuke immediately spotted Tang Zheng floating above and roared in fury.
The attack just now was clearly launched by that human!
"It blocked it that easily." Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed as he gripped the magic greatsword in his left hand.
In terms of raw strength, it was indeed a cut above Troll Gu and Demon Snake Naga.
"This makes it more interesting!" Tang Zheng's eyes focused. His body suddenly pitched forward as he shot down towards the ground.
*Boom!*
His rapidly descending figure quickly broke through the upper layer of foliage and arrived above the Forest Sage King Hamsuke.
"Fast Slash!"
Tang Zheng gripped the magic greatsword with both hands and swung it fiercely down at the Forest Sage King Hamsuke.
"This one shall kill you! I will not allow you to escape this time, you detestable human!" the Forest Sage King Hamsuke bellowed furiously, swinging its claws in response.
