Chapter 79 - Mind-controlling A Beast

Not long, the massive wild beasts that were dashing towards him stopped running and began to fall with their backs and bellies to the ground.

At the moment, too many cuts and gashes could be seen on their bodies, which then resulted in their profuse bleeding.

However, only one of the beasts was spared which still continued to run towards Xiao Lin to bite him into halves and gurgle him up.

But before it could get to where Xiao Lin stood, Xiao Lin quickly looked at it in the eyes and tried to bring up the Mind Compulsion gaze ability that his Animal Spirit said that he possessed.

So, as soon as he thought of using that ability, a strange purple pattern enclosed in a triangle swiftly appeared in his eyes. Then as soon as this pattern surfaced in his eyes, it also surprisingly appeared in the eyes of the beast.

Once this happened, the beast began to roar angrily when it could perceive Xiao Lin's invasion of it mind. However, it was too weak to be able to put up a struggle with the ability that Xiao Lin projected at it.

But many minutes later after intense efforts to resist what Xiao Lin was trying to do to it, it eventually gave up and then lowered itself to the ground for Xiao Lin to climb to it back.

At this point in time, Xiao Lin had fully conquered it mind, turning it into his absolute slave, before compelling it to lower itself to the ground so that he could climb up to it back.

When the beast did so, Xiao Lin gave a delighted nod of his head.

"This ability would definitely come in handy." He said with a smile appearing in his face.

He then performed a gesture that canceled the fusion between him and his beast.

So, immediately he did so, his Animal Spirit appeared beside him.

But when Xiao Lin saw it appearance, he shook in fright.

"Blood Wolf God, what's wrong?" He asked very quickly in a concerned tone.

"Well, you have almost used up my Spiritual Power. I will have to go into a slumber to recover some of it." His Animal Spirit replied.

"Really? Wow! I am sorry about that. I thought it would be boundless, since you are a Spiritual Entity." Xiao Lin said.

"Well, sadly, it's not boundless. We Battle Beast Spirits can also run out out of it and become very weak like mortals or cultivators when they run out of the energies that they possess. So, for now, I need to enter into a slumber to regenerate my expended Spiritual Power." His Animal Spirit replied.

"Hmm. Alright." Xiao Lin said to his Animal Spirit whose form was blurry and actually fluctuated between visible and invisible, seeming as if reality was being warped in this place, giving the feeling that one was in an illusion.

Once he said that, his Animal Spirit vanished and reappeared in his body.

Xiao Lin looked at the twin silver blades in his hand and said return.

Immediately he did that, the blades vanished off his hands and materialized in his dantian.

"I guess I am good to go now. It's time to leave this wilderness" He said.

He then turned his head to look at the beasts that laid on the ground a few feet before him and then shook his head.

He had realized that although the damages, which were the deep cuts that they were inflicted with, wasn't really enough to kill them. But because the cuts were large in numbers, which would actually caused their profuse bleeding, the beasts could bleed to their death if they didn't recover on time. 

"Well, now that I have also learnt how to discharge rays of Spiritual Power using the blades as a conduits, I now have one more powerful battle card up my sleeve." 

"Although the skill is still weak to really cause death to my challengers, it should however be able to riddle them with many life-threatening injuries. Then if they don't evade my rapid barrages of Spiritual Power attacks in time, they could actually die, just like the way the beasts here died." He said and then nodded his head.

He then continued with a long face when he recalled something in the next instant "However, the skill is only to the detriment of my Animal Spirit. Once I am done borrowing it power to discharge attacks, my Animal Spirit would become weak that it would need to go into slumber to regenerate it spent power. Ugh! I wonder what we can do about that."

However, once he said this, a thought flashed in his mind "But, would it possible for my Animal Spirit to feed on the Animal Spirits of others so that it can grow quickly in strength and power?" 

"I don't know if this is possible, but I feel that it should. I will ask my Animal Spirit this when it wakes up. Right now, it needs to grow independently of me, not mutually." 

"Besides, it would be to my great advantage if my Animal Spirit can self-contend with cultivators high up in the Mortal Spiritual stage or above it, once it's able to grow stronger at a rapid rate by consuming the Spiritual Essence or Power of the Spirit Animals of others." He said and nodded his head.

He then exhaled and leaped towards the back of the beast under his absolute mind influence.

Once he did so, the beast raised itself back to it feet and shot off towards a particular direction to leave the far depth of the wilderness that they were at.

And as it ran, it caused to the ground to shake from the stomping of it limbs.

Xiao Lin had spared this one because it looked bigger than than the others and should probably possess a higher endurance than them. Besides, from the massive size of it muscular limbs which also looked powerful, he felt that it should be able to cross massive distances very quickly.

And his speculation was right, as the beast moved so fast under his total mind control that it could cover a hundred and twenty miles in half an hour. But, the only thing was that it caused a massive cloud of dust to begin to rise and float above them, and then the ground to shake intensely as it dashed out of the wilderness and into the wide road where large passenger carriages usually plied to head to the nearest town.
