Chapter 224 Red Beard presents a treasure, the Star Bridge! (Please subscribe and give me a monthly ticket!)
"How is that possible? You are a great wizard?"
Captured by Lu Feng, Red Beard was powerless to struggle and was extremely frightened. Seeing Lu Feng's power, he felt as if he was facing a great wizard.
Lu Feng was not sure how powerful the great wizard was, after all, he had never fought against him personally.
However, in order to capture Red Beard without any risk, Lu Feng used all his strength this time, coupled with a sneak attack. Red Beard didn't even have time to survive a single move by Lu Feng, and was caught in Lu Feng's hand like a chicken.
The power of the Absolute Soul Locking Meridian Technique surged between his five fingers, and Red Beard completely lost the power to resist.
"Captain Redbeard"
Lu Feng returned to the pirate ship carrying Red Beard. The pirates captured by Lu Feng all looked terribly disappointed and wailed.
If Captain Redbeard had escaped, there might have been a chance to save them, but now the Redbeard Pirates were completely wiped out, and there was no way their pirate group would ever recover.
Lu Feng chuckled and threw Red Beard to Novi, who was regretting not being able to catch Red Beard, and then watched Novi recruit the entire Red Beard Pirate Group.
Faced with the choice between death and survival, Red Beard and all the pirates in his group wisely chose to survive.
As usual, Lu Feng lit the soul lamps of Red Beard and his first and second mates after the pirates surrendered, and completely controlled their lives.
As for the ordinary pirates, they were too weak and it would be a waste to light their soul lamps. Lu Feng directly planted the five elements of spiritual roots one by one, generously improved their cultivation qualifications, and then gave them the previous part of the secret book Black Water Method, allowing them to practice well.
They are all pirates who make a living on the sea and are in contact with sea water all year round. It is most suitable for them to practice the water-traveling method.
If you can achieve some results with your practice, you can directly open your spiritual orifice and become a junior magician, which will also increase the combat effectiveness of Novi's men.
Under Lu Feng's manipulation, the Red Beard Pirates completely surrendered and became Lu Feng's dogs.
What else can they do? They are pirates, scum of the sea who live for themselves. It's just a change of boss, no problem!
What’s more, the new boss was a strong man who captured Red Beard with ease. His strength was beyond their imagination.
Even Red Beard burst into tears of gratitude when he learned that Lu Feng had no intention of killing him.
He almost added: I have been wandering for half my life, and I only regret that I have never met a wise master. If you don’t abandon me, Red Beard is willing to be your adoptive father!
If Lu Feng knew what Red Beard was thinking, he would definitely send Red Beard back to where he came from.
You want to be my son, but you are worthy!
Although Red Beard was not adopted as his son, he still showed his responsibilities as a subordinate.
"Sir, this is the Star Bridge that I got by chance. I would like to present it to you as a token of my appreciation!"
Red Beard presented the treasure respectfully.
Lu Feng took the Star Bridge from Red Beard and looked at it.
The Star Bridge is a magical artifact used by Western wizards to connect to the star realm and assist in spellcasting. The production method is monopolized by the great wizards of the Western Region, and it is extremely difficult for ordinary wizards to obtain a Star Bridge.
The reason why Novi was able to get a Star Bridge was that he had worked for the Grand Mage Tower for many years and had made great contributions in the Night's Watch. It was not until he was promoted to an intermediate mage that he was rewarded with a Star Bridge by the Grand Mage Blanchard.
Moreover, a treasure like the Star Bridge, once refined, will be bound to the user's spiritual power, and they will prosper and suffer together.
If the user dies, the bound star bridge will be broken and destroyed, and it will not be possible to use it again.
The Star Bridge is not only a treasure used to enhance strength, but also a tool for great wizards to control their subordinates and consolidate their power.
For wild mages who do not belong to the Grand Mage Tower, it is almost as difficult as ascending to heaven to obtain a Star Bridge. With the power of the Star Bridge, the power of mages in the Grand Mage Tower has completely widened the gap with other mage schools.
This is also the reason why the Grand Mage Tower can stand firmly in the countries of the Western Regions.
Lu Feng also studied Novi's Star Bridge and gained some wonderful knowledge. Unfortunately, due to the lack of a lot of basic knowledge, Lu Feng was unable to replicate the power of the Star Bridge.
If the Star Bridge was brought back to the [Botanical Garden], those mages who liked to study it would probably be able to pirate it in minutes. Unfortunately, Lu Feng was not proficient in this and did not have the ability to make a copy for the time being.
Lu Feng originally thought that it would take him some time to find the Star Bridge, but he didn't expect that he could easily get a treasure like the Star Bridge through an unintentional robbery.
What a wonderful fate!
Lu Feng asked Red Beard and only then did he learn from him the origin of the star bridge.
It was a gift from the Kingdom of Gaul, which was next to the Kingdom of Lorendan, to thank the Red Beard Pirates for their active attack on the shipping routes of the Kingdom of Lorendan and their positive contribution to the shipping of the Kingdom of Gaul.
"So you are a dog raised by the Kingdom of Gaul!" Lu Feng chuckled and put the Star Bridge into his pocket.
"Life forces me, life forces me!" said the red-bearded man embarrassedly.
The life of pirates was not as free as the troubadours described. If they had not found a good master, they would have been wiped out by the navy of the Kingdom of Lorendan long ago.
Waving goodbye to Red Beard and asking him to obey Novi's orders, Lu Feng began to study the star bridge in his hand.
Infusing his mental energy into refining it, Lu Feng quickly took control of the Star Bridge.
After some exploration, Lu Feng also personally experienced the capabilities of the Star Bridge.
With the Star Bridge in hand, Lu Feng had no pressure in communicating with the Star Realm. Just a thought could mobilize the power of the Star Realm and influence the surrounding environment, pulling the enemy directly into the Star Realm, just like the mages of the Night Watch who besieged his Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers that night.
If there was no Star Bridge, Lu Feng would never be able to achieve this level.
After comprehending the method used by the Western Region wizards to communicate with the star realm, although Lu Feng could absorb the power of the star realm, he could not change the environment and pull people into the star realm.
There lies the difference between having a star bridge and not having one.
Calling the Novi Mage, Lu Fengqing said, "Novi, how about you accompany me to the Star Realm for a stroll?"
Hearing this, Mage Novi was stunned and wanted to refute immediately: "My lord, my mind labyrinth has not been repaired yet, so I can't exert much strength in the star realm. Moreover, this is the ocean, and the star realm I enter here may not be very peaceful!"
The mental labyrinth is the fundamental power of the wizard. Nowi's mental labyrinth was shattered. Without the mental labyrinth and the army of ghosts, he could not exert much strength in the star realm.
What's more, they are now on Red Beard's pirate ship, far away from the land of the Kingdom of Lorendan.
The star realm here is formed by the weak spiritual power dissipated after the death of marine life in the ocean. It is disordered, absurd and strange. It is really not a good place to explore the star realm. Even if an ordinary intermediate magician wants to enter the star realm, he dares only enter in a city where a large number of humans gather.
Although the rational spiritual power of human beings will give birth to more monsters, it will also make the disordered star world slowly transform towards order, reducing a lot of dangers.
Lu Feng shook his head and rejected Novi's proposal.
His strength is far beyond what Novi has seen. He is just exploring the star world. If there is danger, Novi does not need to take action. He went to Novi just to ask Novi to help him lead the way and introduce the monsters.
With Novi, the two of them activated the star bridge to communicate with the star realm.
The gray fog reappeared, covering the two of them. The light and shadow changed, and in the blink of an eye they arrived in another world.
"This astral realm entered from the ocean is indeed strange and very different from the last astral realm. No wonder most mages are unwilling to enter the astral realm from the ocean!"
As soon as they entered the star realm, Lu Feng and Novi were shrouded in endless darkness.
It is almost pitch dark here, with only some fluorescent plants such as mosses emitting a faint green fluorescence, emitting a faint and extremely dim light.
This star realm is even stranger than the one Lu Feng entered last time.
Looking up, I could only see the pitch-black ceiling of the cave. The fishy sea water was dripping out from the cracks in the rocks of the ceiling, filling the entire space with a fishy, sticky smell that was very disgusting.
Of course, such a change alone would not affect Lu Feng and Novi.
"What kind of place is this? I've never seen it before!"
Entering the star realm from the ocean for the first time, Novi was also confused. He carefully observed his surroundings, trying to find some identifiable clues from the surrounding environment.
"Go over there, there's a monster over there! Maybe it can provide us with some clues!"
Lu Feng waved his hand, and a large group of Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers appeared in front of him.
Each Fire Dragon Taoist soldier was ferocious, with a burning body and flames rising from their scales.
This team of Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers made Novi's eyebrows twitch.
The lord is indeed powerful. Any subordinate he finds is no weaker than he is now.
Novi suddenly felt a sense of crisis. He had to recover his strength quickly, otherwise he would be eliminated by the master's men sooner or later.
Lu Feng didn't know that his unintentional action provided motivation to Novi. He commanded the Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers to advance along the dark and damp cave, towards the monster discovered by his mental power.
The Fire Dragon Taoist Soldiers had been cultivated since Lu Feng was refining the Fire Spirit Vein for the Qingmu Spirit Realm. Their bodies were selected from various dragon vein creatures. After being implanted with the Fire Dragon Divine Soldiers Spell and refined, no matter what their previous forms were, they have now transformed into Taoist soldiers with human bodies, dragon heads, and scales all over their bodies.
Lu Feng's Qingmu spiritual realm is getting stronger day by day, and the strength of the two hundred and sixty-five Fire Dragon Dao soldiers he refined is also increasing day by day. Now they have basically reached the first level.
Although the Fire Dragon Taoist Soldiers are limited by their Taoist bodies and cannot condense their spiritual realms, their strength is no weaker than that of ordinary Taoists. Their abilities are similar to those of the extraordinary monsters in the wizarding world. They have strong bodies and can release some powerful fire spells.
Apart from the Death Mantis and the native Orleans, the Fire Dragon Taoist Soldiers are the only organized and powerful force in Lu Feng's hands.
Exploring the star realm at this time is exactly where the Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers can come in handy.
"go ahead!"
At Lu Feng's command, the Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers began to advance, and the light of the flames illuminated wherever they passed.
As soon as the Fire Dragon Taoist Soldiers moved, a buzzing sound was heard. Before Lu Feng and the others saw the monster in the depths of the dark cave, a rustling sound came from all around the cave. A thumb-sized star creature, the scarlet spider, formed a terrifying tide of spiders and crawled directly towards the Fire Dragon Taoist Soldiers.
Scarlet spiders are a very common astral monster in the astral world. Once they see light, they will be attracted to it due to their phototaxis, and then eat the light source creatures completely, or lay eggs and parasitize in the bodies of corpses, turning the corpses into mobile scarlet spider nests.
If a wizard comes to the astral world and is not prepared, and rashly uses spells to illuminate the dark, he will attract endless scarlet spiders.
In that terrifying tide of scarlet spiders, even an intermediate wizard could be killed.
"Attack with fire!"
Sizzle!
Under Lu Feng's command, the Fire Dragon Taoist Soldiers' bodies were all ablaze with flames. The densely packed scarlet spiders that rushed over were immediately burned to death by the raging flames coming out of the Fire Dragon Taoist Soldiers' bodies, emitting a foul smelling gas, and crackling and turning into black ash and falling to the ground.
The Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers advanced directly by crushing the ashes left by the burnt Scarlet Spider.
Lu Feng felt his scalp tingling as he looked at the densely packed scarlet spiders. Novi even hid directly behind Lu Feng.
He doesn't have much strength now. If he is targeted by the densely packed scarlet spiders, he will be crippled if not killed. He can't afford to offend them!
"Fortunately, I summoned the Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers. If it were other villagers, I would have to do it myself, which would be very troublesome!" Lu Feng wanted to train the villagers in his Qingmu Spirit Realm into some subordinates who could do practical work and stand on their own.
In this way, when he conquers the Western world or the alternate dimension of the wizarding world in the future, he will not be left without help.
Conquering alternate dimensions is a popular and promising industry in the wizarding world. In the process of conquering alternate dimensions, sometimes those who play an important role are some warriors of moderate strength, as well as some commanders and generals who have command capabilities and can act independently.
Lu Feng's cultivation level improved quite fast, but the strength structure of his subordinates had always been relatively weak, and they basically relied on his own strength to hold on.
Now he is living in the Verdant Tower and his income is okay. But when he becomes stronger and reaches the third-level wizard, or even the higher fourth-level wizard, the Verdant Tower will not be able to accommodate him, and will not be able to continue to provide him with the resources needed for the growth of the Green Wood Spirit Realm.
At that time, if Lu Feng wanted to continue to make great strides in his strength, he could only participate in high-risk and high-reward plane battles.
Refining medicine and fighting monsters are not as rich in resources as directly plundering an alien dimension.
Therefore, after entering the Western Region this time, Lu Feng intended to test his own abilities, train his subordinates, and pave the way for his future development.
The Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers moved forward and soon arrived at the place where Lu Feng had just discovered the star monster.
It was still a pitch-black cave, but it was much wider than where Lu Feng and the others had just settled.
Lu Feng arrived with the Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers in a huge manner, and as soon as they arrived, they alarmed the monsters in the cave.
A monster with a worm head and a snake body, staring with scarlet eyes, waved its insect limbs and attacked the Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers.
