Swallowing the Stars: Realm of Control

Chapter 9 Mind

It was two and a half hours later when we returned to the upper village of Maoshan.

There were still about twenty figures gathered at the entrance of the village.

When they saw that only five figures had returned, everyone was stunned.

"Captain Dano, did that alien escape?"

As soon as they came up, everyone couldn't help but ask questions.

"Ugh, stop talking about it."

Before Luo Feng could speak, the big wolf couldn't help but blurt out, "We encountered a Spirit-level Great Ferocious Beast, a Three-Eyed Tiger at that. It's already quite remarkable that we came back alive."

"That kid was unlucky. He got separated from us while running away. His fate is either to die in the mountains of Damao or to come out of the village road again. If we patrol carefully, we should be able to spot him again. I guess he will come back to us eventually."

"That's true," Twenty-Eight said.

"If that's the case, it's quite a pity if he's from outer space." Uncle Ba was also there, and he felt sad thinking about how the Spirit Pearl he had almost obtained had flown away.

He had watched all the young people in Shangcun grow up, and none of them had any Heavenly Aperture. If they wanted to cultivate, they would have to rely on the Spirit Aperture Pearl.

"But it's alright, the best thing is that everyone came back alive, especially you, Dano. Our Shangcun village can't do without you." Old Eighth Uncle walked up to Luo Feng, his eyes lighting up as he looked at the tiger skin slung over his shoulder: "What's this?"

"We were lucky with the hide of that Spirit-level Great Ferocious Beast. It was badly injured and had expended a lot of energy, which gave me the opportunity to shoot it down."

"After I removed this skin, another spirit-level ferocious beast appeared, and I had no choice but to flee."

Luo Feng did offer an explanation.

Uncle Ba breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "That's a great victory. The tiger skin from this spirit-level insect can be made into two sets of super-strong defensive armor."

The Spirit-level Great Ferocious Tiger is generally only hunted by two people in the village who have truly cultivated to the Awakening Spirit Realm. Although its pelt is less ferocious than that of a cow, it is still extremely rare.

"That's exactly what I'm planning. Either I'll make a coat for it, or I'll sell it. This is the most precious thing I've ever acquired," Luo Feng said with a smile.

For Luo Feng, it wasn't particularly valuable, but for the entire Maoshan Village, who had the ability to hunt down the pelt of such a Spirit-level Great Ferocious Beast?

If this item were taken to the clan chief and sold, it could probably be exchanged for quite a few things.

When the five of them returned, they discussed it and decided that this tiger skin could be used to make two sets of defensive armor. One set would be for him, and the other set would be for the other five team members, to be used in rotation depending on the hunting situation.

Or, they could sell it directly, with Luo Feng taking half and the other four teammates sharing the other half.

This is also the scope that "Dano" possesses.

"Everyone, keep watch as planned tonight. If there's any disturbance, remember to sound the alarm," Luo Feng shouted to those present.

This is also his responsibility as the first team leader of Shangcun Village; he must be on guard at all times to protect the safety of the villagers.

"Big Wolf, Erba, Water Stone, and Scale Fish, when the chieftain returns, we'll take Tiger Skin to him and see if we can make two pieces of defensive armor or just sell them."

Luo Feng made a symbolic statement, which could be considered as explaining the whereabouts of the tiger skin, so as to avoid being gossiped about behind his back.

"Alright. Captain, you go back and rest first. We'll keep a close watch on things." Big Wolf was still very lively.

Luo Feng carried the tiger skin and hurried home.

This time, I'm going to see the chieftain, and also to find out his attitude and dispel some of his doubts.

Having met with extraterrestrial visitors alone... this might be a point of suspicion.

Just because Luo Feng didn't say anything doesn't mean that the others in the village didn't spread the word. Once it reaches the clan chief's ears, it could become a different story.

Also, villagers can exchange for anything they want from the clan chief, and he also wanted to see if there were any other useful treasures.

Thinking this, he stepped into his own courtyard.

"I'm back." Luo Feng still followed Dano's memory; whenever he opened the door and didn't see his wife and children, he would call out this.

In no time.

Belle came out with a boy and a girl.

"Father."

This time, instead of seeing the stranger himself, the two children ran up to him on their own.

As usual, Luo Feng picked up the two children and showed them great affection.

"The food will be ready soon. You can play with Seventy-One and the others for a while." Belle turned and walked back to the kitchen.

Dano's two children are number 71 in the village and number 77, which is closer to number 82. The oldest of them is only three years old this year.

However, these children have strong genes and can walk around within a year of birth.

Maoshan Village has six surnames. To prevent the effects of consanguineous marriage, there are strict standards for marriage between different villages. Occasionally, the village chief will bring back some eligible women from other places to maintain the reproduction of the entire Maoshan Village.

Dano's wife, Baili, is from the third village of Maoshan. They have been together for four years.

Holding his two children, Luo Feng never imagined that he would become a father to two children after arriving in this realm of control.

After playing for a while, it was time for dinner.

As the strongest man in the village, Luo Feng always had plenty of meat at every meal. Although he had eaten there this afternoon, this meal was still stewed meat, along with the local special spiritual rice, which contained qi and was very beneficial for maintaining bodily functions.

Even in the evenings, a time meant for just the two of them, Luo Feng still had to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband.

Since it's just a clone, it won't have much impact on Luo Feng anymore.

A moment of wisdom.

We arrived in the courtyard.

Looking at the brightly lit sky, there weren't many stars, but occasionally shooting stars would streak across the sky, making for a beautiful night view.

"This is my first day in this world. I wonder how my two older brothers and my younger brother Xu are doing... Will I ever have the chance to meet them again in this lifetime?"

After entering this world, Luo Feng discovered that everything was much more difficult than he had imagined.

Everything has to start all over again, and we're still facing a world full of crises.

Initial speculation suggests that an extraterrestrial like him would be unwelcome here, and might even face suppression.

Having lost their original strength and entered such a perilous world, whether they can survive or not is a completely different matter.

Therefore, it's very difficult for the four of them to eventually reunite.

Some of them may perish.

As the highest level of world in the void, why does this world exist? Is it merely to give them a second chance at life? Or is it to eliminate those who have transcended the cycle of life and death? The Qi Spirit Clan, the Sequence Fragments… what exactly does this world hold…?

Luo Feng had no idea.

but.

He was familiar with this feeling of starting over, and he wouldn't resist it.

Having come this far, the most beautiful thing has never been the scenery at the end, but the feelings along the way.

Luo Feng has a heart that keeps climbing towards the peak. As long as he lives, this world, his goal, will always have the view from the very top.

"And what about the Control Ranking held by the Realm Envoy? Could it be related to this world?"
