Chapter 1036: Fei"s Plan (Part One)
"That is right. We also discovered that these crystals contain soul and life energy waves, but we couldn"t decrypt the secret behind them. It is clear that these lifeforms exist in a strange way. The Beast G.o.d Palace has done a lot of research into this kind of crystal, but we only obtained limited findings. We estimate that such crystals have an innate ability to absorb energy from nature, and they could turn energy into physical matter. Take this edible and delicious fresh meat as an example. According to the calculation of the Beast G.o.d Palace, in less than a year, one crystal can grow out more than ten tons of fresh meat," Entus explained with a smile.
"Such mystical creatures exist?" Aside from being surprised, Fei suddenly thought of something and suggested, "If this is the case, then you can collect such crystals and cultivate them near the homes of orcs. This way, you no longer need to hunt wild beasts and grow crops that often. One of such crystals can easily feed a small orc clan."
"I held similar thoughts like you in the beginning, but we ran into issues in terms of plan execution; it was a pity. Just like what you saw, deadly gas fills the air here. In fact, the deadly gas is a by-product of when the silver crystals transform energy into physical matter. In the Vicious Swamp, such deadly gas is suppressed by the laws of nature, and it couldn"t freely float to wherever. Once these silver crystals leave the Vicious Swamp, the deadly gas will spread, easily taking away the lives of tens of thousands of orcs. The Beast G.o.d Palace paid a hefty price for that experiment back in the day." A sad and shocked expression appeared on Entus" face as he recalled the tragedy which happened several hundred years ago.
"So, these crystals can only provide you with a lot of delicious meat in the Vicious Swamp? This is the only way that the deadly gas won"t leak out?" Fei sighed and added, "It seems like many laws of nature are in place when the G.o.d of Creation made this world. There are countermeasures and various checks and balances in place. You can never harvest the reward without putting in the work. It seems like only Sun-Cla.s.s Lords can come here and capture these unique beasts. It is impossible to ma.s.s-produce this type of meat to feed all orcs."
"That is right." Entus nodded and said, "Only during the years when we can"t harvest enough food, the clans will send out masters to form hunting teams. These teams will risk their lives and travel to the Vicious Swamp to capture these unique beasts, getting more food so that the clans can survive through the food crisis. Normally, only high-level n.o.bles could enjoy such delicacies.
Fei played with the silver crystal in his hand as he pondered with his head lowered. Then, he frowned and asked, "I sensed soul spirit energy waves from this crystal earlier. How come I don"t sense anything now?"
"Haha! This is one of the special abilities of the unique beasts; they can hide all their traces, including life energy fluctuations. If they don"t show themselves, even true G.o.ds will have a hard time spotting them," Entus praised, "They are indeed a unique lifeform. In fact, I don"t even know if I should call them lifeforms. Except for providing us with delicious meat, I can"t think of another use for them."
"Huh? I feel like they are quite useful." As Fei said that, he sent a streak of fear-inducing spirit energy wave using a technique that he learned from the purple scroll. This streak of spirit energy dove deep into the crystal; Fei was trying to force the soul inside the crystal to appear.
Just as he expected, when the fear-inducing spirit energy wave entered the crystal, a faint and unnoticeable soul energy wave flashed by.
Fei tried to communicate with spirit energy and threatened, "Little Guy, I know you are inside. If you don"t come out, I will destroy you."
After saying that, the king used 60 percent of the strength of his Barbarian character, and a thin crack appeared on the silver crystal.

Chapter 1036: Fei"s Plan (Part Two)
"Stop! Don"t!" A streak of angry and scared spirit energy finally shouted inside the crystal as a response.
"Now, this is better. If you are willing to answer my questions honestly, I won"t kill you." Fei was slightly surprised, and he tried to communicate while threatening.
"You bunch of greedy demons! You already took my body that I spent a lot of energy on! What else do you want? Crystals are useless to you. Why can"t you leave my people alone?" The spirit energy inside this silver crystal was angry and terrified.
"As weaklings, you should get ready to be enslaved. In this world, the powerful prey on the weak. If condemnation worked, you wouldn"t be treated by others as food." Fei continued threatening, "What, are you really angry? Do you want to avenge yourself? Unfortunately, what else can you do except for creating aromatic meat?"
"You…"
The spirit energy inside the crystal shook violently as if a handful of salt was tossed into a pot of hot oil. Anger and reluctance filled its mind. In the end, it only gave out a long sigh.
After a moment of silence, it said, "What kind of creature are you? How come I have never seen anyone like you before? You are far more powerful than the dumb and barbaric behemoth orcs."
Fei smiled and didn"t know what to say.
Behemoth orcs looked down at the unique beasts and treated them as food, but they didn"t know that these silver crystals were an intelligent lifeform. In these crystals" eyes, the orcs represented idiocy and violence.
"I"m a great and honorable human, the lord of the land, and a member of a supreme race," Fei said without feeling shameful.
He clearly sensed that even though the silver crystals were capable of intelligence, they were like six-year-old human children. Also, this species always lived in the Vicious Swamp and never got the chance to see the outside world. For these crystals, their understanding of the world was as blank as a piece of paper. Even if Fei said that he was the G.o.d of Creation, this silver crystal would have believed him.
"Human?" the silver crystal froze; it was clear that it didn"t know what this noun meant. In its long life, it saw orc masters coming to the Vicious Swamp to harvest their bodies. Therefore, this silver crystal had a rough understanding of the Behemoth Orc Tribe. However, it had never heard of the word "human" before today.
"That is right. Humans are at the top of the food chain and are true masters." Fei acted tough and continued his brainwashing process.
"What is the food chain?" The silver crystal was curious about the unknown, and it asked this question. Fei who was in the mood for a long speech was interrupted and almost puke up a mouthful of blood.
After a short pause, the king changed the direction and started to speak in an alluring tone, "Do you know why your race is so weak? Do you want to become stronger?"
"It is because we don"t have strong bodies and weapons. The bodies that I condensed are all too weak." The silver crystal was about to be enchanted by the king. A weak race that had been treated as food and farmed at others" will was very sensitive to the phrase "become stronger". They were as pure as a piece of white paper, and their frustration had been acc.u.mulating for hundreds if not thousands of years.
"If I can give you and your peers tough bodies and power that suits your spirit energy, are you willing to surrender to me?" Fei was elated; it was very easy to fool children.
As expected, as soon as Fei tossed out the bait, a series of aggressive spirit energy fluctuations appeared in the silver crystal. If this crystal was a human child, it would have been drooling right now as if it was staring at a bucket of ice cream.
"Of course." Spirit energy waves filled with anxiety and antic.i.p.ation appeared inside the silver crystal, and it said without hesitation, "If you can give us powerful bodies and strength, we will take you as our king and stay loyal to you forever!"
Fei rubbed his chin and thought, "This thing accepted it so quickly and easily. Is this crystal trying to scam me?"
