Swallowing the Stars: Realm of Control

Chapter 41 The New Clone

Looking at the large wound on his clone's shoulder, Luo Feng felt lingering fear. The strength of the powerful spirit-level monsters deep within varied, and some of the stronger ones were no match for his body.

For example, when he came out, he encountered a monster that resembled a small dinosaur. Its body was as hard as armor, and it was faster than the spirit-level gray leopard. Its claw attacks were no less powerful than his arrows.

Such a well-rounded fighter is almost unbeatable unless he lacks a bit of skill.

"It's about time we gave up on this clone. Let's use it one last time."

Luo Feng and his clone exchanged a glance, then headed towards Maoshan Village.

Judging by the time, they should all be out hunting by now.

This time, Luo Feng was careful enough. His clone was in front of him, while his main body was separated from the clone by a range of three to five kilometers. If there was any risk, his main body could escape immediately.

We arrived at that fork in the road.

Then, following the path, we arrived near Shangcun.

Luo Feng's clone hid in a low bush by the roadside, quietly waiting for the patrol personnel to arrive.

After waiting for about fifty minutes, a patrolman from Shangcun approached.

"Dongzi?" Luo Feng glanced at him and frowned.

I never expected that Dongzi would be the one on patrol today.

Luo Feng still felt some gratitude towards the young man who gave him the Earth Spirit Stone; repaying kindness with enmity was not his style.

Even though the people in this village see him as a thorn in their side.

After Dongzi walked away, Luo Feng followed the wilderness area and circled around to the vicinity of Maoshan Village No. 2.

The population of the second village is slightly less than that of the upper village, only about seventy people.

Luo Feng waited quietly at an intersection. As a master who was close to the True Awakening Spirit Realm, his ability to conceal himself was no longer what it used to be. These patrolling people passed by him, and as long as they didn't see him, they basically couldn't find him.

After waiting quietly for forty minutes...

Luo Feng looked at the young man who was patrolling his area. He was 2.7 meters tall and looked quite young.

"If I remember correctly, his name should be Sanyuan," Luo Feng muttered. Dano also had memories of some of the people from the Second Village.

For two minutes, Sanyuan carefully examined the surrounding bushes and other vegetation to prevent any potential predators from sneaking in.

His gaze quickly moved past the area where Luo Feng was and continued forward.

Luo Feng calculated the distance between the two and looked into the distance, but there was no view of this location for the time being.

brush!

He burst out of the bushes like a cheetah, getting less than thirty meters away from Sanyuan. It was incredibly fast, taking less than a breath.

In that brief moment, Sanyuan had no time to react.

Luo Feng covered his mouth with his hand and at the same time struck his head hard with just the right amount of force, causing him to faint immediately.

It's also possible that he has concussion-induced dementia.

Luo Feng quickly dragged him into the low bushes behind him and reunited with the main body.

Ten minutes later.

The main body and its clones merged together.

Luo Feng glanced at his clone and, without hesitation, forced out the spiritual pearl inside his body.

This Spirit Aperture Bead is similar to a magical artifact; it can be bound to its owner by a drop of blood.

If this clone dies, the recognition of its master will not continue because the original body exists, since the original body cannot use this thing; it can only be given to the new clone.

With a single thought, Luo Feng destroyed his clone, and Dano's body fell down silently.

But at that very moment, Luo Feng had a vague feeling that he was connected to Dano, as if it were a cause-and-effect relationship.

He couldn't help but frown.

One clone, one cause and effect. If the cause and effect are not settled, the subsequent accumulation may have a great impact on him.

"Anyway, it's still in Maoshan Village, so there should be a chance to repay it."

Luo Feng summoned the slave seal that had just formed within his body and headed straight for San Yuan's brow. The moment the slave seal entered, Luo Feng felt as if he had awakened a life, and was met with a fierce resistance.

It felt like he was trying to possess someone else's body, and then he encountered resistance from the original owner.

But after resisting for less than two minutes, that consciousness was extinguished by Luo Feng's will.

When San Yuan opened his eyes, his head still ached a little; the clone's knock had been a bit too forceful.

"call."

"As expected, just as I thought, the effect of this newly formed slave seal is completely different from the one I obtained from the Realm Envoy. It's similar to possession. If this guy were stronger, I might not have been able to succeed."

"The next clone needs to be one with a Heavenly Aperture. If we keep messing around like this, I don't know when we can regain our strength."

A thought flashed through Luo Feng's mind.

To do all this, the only way is to take down the clan leader and obtain the Awakening Stone.

Only with this can the appropriate identity be selected.

……

Soon, the memories of this three round dumplings were quickly understood.

This San Yuanzi is a young man in his early teens, unmarried, living with his mother and sister. His father, a hunter, died under the claws of a ferocious beast.

San Yuanzi is rather lazy in his training, and his family doesn't have any decent ferocious meat to help him train his body. Currently, his body has not reached the tenth level of body tempering, and he has not yet undergone the test of the Aperture Stone. It is unclear whether he has a Heavenly Aperture.

In Maoshan Village, any man over eighteen years old can lift 10,000 jin with one hand; otherwise, there would be no way to test whether he has a "heavenly aperture" (a point on the body with a special ability to lift weights).

Unexpectedly, San Yuanzi had not yet reached this level due to her family's financial situation.

I hesitated for a moment.

"If the body contains a Heavenly Aperture, using the Spirit Aperture Pearl should not affect whether or not the Heavenly Aperture can be activated later."

Luo Feng gave the spirit orifice bead to his clone, who immediately refined it and put it into his body.

In the next instant, it was as if a switch had been flipped in my body, and I could sense the Qi energy in the world. As for absorption, it was still so slow, which was fundamentally different from that of a Heavenly Aperture cultivator.

Unless this body possesses a celestial aperture and is capable of awakening it.

"This clone is younger. Even without the Earth Spirit Particle, using the body-refining methods of the past should allow for significant improvement, or even surpassing it." Luo Feng was well aware of the current situation.

Moreover, he also has that Qi Gathering Disc, so his growth rate should be very fast.

Place the Qi Gathering Plate on the clone.

The clone went back to continue patrolling, while the main body carried Dano's corpse towards the edge of Three-Headed Valley.

Even if it's just an act, it has to be done. By placing the clone in a cliff cave in Three Heads Valley and letting it die naturally, it can create the illusion that the original is dead, at least enough to fool Adamostel.

In the future, if that "mountain god" arrives, we can also deceive that mountain god.

Everything went smoothly. Luo Feng placed it in the spot where his original body had stayed for over a year. The area was very smooth. Luo Feng hesitated for a moment before deciding to place the magical longbow next to this body.

And there's that spiritual pearl obtained from Twenty-Eight.

"If we're going to put on a show, we should go all out. If no one comes looking for us after a few years, it's not too late to come back and take it then."

Luo Feng was also glad that he happened to have two spirit aperture beads, otherwise, this charade would not have been possible.

After doing all this, they immediately disappeared from the area.
