Chapter 66: The Mouse Tribe's Emperor (Seeking Recommendations)

  On the first day of entering the Valley of the Wind, Su Che had a total of five battles with different groups of people. Among them, he initiated three and was ambushed twice by others who attempted to rob him.

  No matter whether the opponent was looking for trouble or he himself was, Su Che's purpose was simply to accumulate combat experience and not necessarily to determine a life-or-death outcome. Therefore, in these five battles, he didn't let Lao He help out and instead relied solely on his own abilities to cope.

  Due to the opponents they were fighting against, each team had at least four people. It was almost impossible for a small number of people to defeat a large number, and as a result, Su Che always ended up retreating in defeat.

  Relying on the continuous vitality and advantages of Faqi, Lingfu, Dan medicine, even if he suffered a slight injury, it would be fine after adjusting his breath for an hour or two. Just on the first day, Su Che felt that he had gained a lot, and understood many things that could only be understood but not expressed in words...

  At night, in a certain cave in the canyon, Su Zu was silently summarizing the gains of the day. The various thoughts flashing through his mind could also be received by Lao Hei, who would also offer some insights and suggestions...

  Suddenly, a "squeaking" sound came from deep within the cave, as if something was digging through the soil and rocks.

  Su Che subconsciously looked inside, the depths of the cave were pitch black, and nothing could be seen. He asked: "Lao Hei, didn't you say that there are no monsters in this cave? Why is there still such a sound coming from inside?"

  Lao Hei smiled and said: "It's nothing, a few Yin Feng mice dug holes everywhere, coincidentally, they drilled through the soil layer and ran into this cave... I'll scare them away now."

  "Oh." Su Che heard it and also put his heart at ease. Up to now, the few Yin Wind Rats were completely harmless to him.

  After a while, Lao Hei let out a strange laugh: "How interesting! Master, I've discovered that I can send mental waves to command these dark wind mice. They'll leave when I tell them to and come back when I call them!"

  "What's so strange about that? You yourself have one-third of the Shadow Mouse bloodline, of course you know how to communicate with them." Su Che's mouth twitched: "Your mouse tail is thicker and longer than theirs, your soul power surpasses theirs by who-knows-how-many times, maybe they've already taken you for the Mouse King..."

  At this point, Su Che suddenly had an epiphany: "Lao Hei, you said, if they really took you as the Mouse King, could you command all the dark wind mice in the Dark Wind Gorge?"

  "I don't know." Old Hei scratched his head and thought for a moment, then laughed and said, "This idea is quite challenging, it's worth a try."

  Su Che's idea was that the most numerous demon beast in the Yin Wind Gorge was actually the Yin Wind Mouse. To a certain extent, the Yin Wind Mouse was the true master of this great gorge. It was said that the mouse king of each tribe of Yin Wind Mice only had the strength of Qi Refining Third Layer, while Lao Hei already possessed the soul ability of Qi Refining Fourth Layer. Perhaps, he could really pretend to be the supreme ruler of all Yin Wind Mice, the king of kings...

  In that case, it's equivalent to saying that one has control over the entire Windy Valley, with eyes and ears everywhere, and all the secrets within the valley are no longer secrets to oneself.

  It's really worth looking forward to!

  Su Che didn't disturb Lao Hei and quietly waited for this 'Mouse Emperor' to fully exert the advantages of its bloodline...

  After a while, Lao Hei said: "Master, I have ordered those few dark wind mice to return to their nest and bring the mouse king of this tribe here. Whether our plan can be realized depends on the reaction of this first mouse king."

  "It doesn't matter, just do as you like, no need to be too pressured." Su Che said in a gentle tone: "If it works out, then it's fine. If not, at most, I'll just sentence you to death."

  "Ah?" In the immortal prison, Lao Hei was speechless and sat down on the ground with a thud: "Heavens, this is what you call not being under too much pressure?"

  The two masters and servants chatted and laughed for about a minute, then Lao Hei said in a low voice: "It's coming! What a big old mouse..."

  Not long after the voice fell, Su Che heard a rustling sound coming from inside the cave, and then a large old mouse scurried up to him.

  Not counting its tail, this mouse was over five feet long, as fat and big as a black-haired wild boar, with a pair of bean-sized eyes staring warily at Su Che. Perhaps it was thinking: "How can it be that a human is not our super king?"

  Su Che didn't make any expression, sitting on the ground like a wooden puppet, in this matter, he couldn't help at all, it's all up to Lao Hei's performance.

  With a shout, Lao Hei appeared.

  A giant rat over seven feet long, with dark golden fur and a thick tail that shone like metal, its body looked much more proportionate than the obese Mouse King opposite it.

  Nor did he know what kind of means Lao Hei had used, perhaps it was the domineering aura of a king, or perhaps it was some kind of intangible power from his noble bloodline. The black-haired mouse king not far away seemed to have been smashed down by a great mountain, and with a thud, he fell to the ground.

  Is that it?

  Su Che thought that things couldn't be so easy, these two big rats must have engaged in a fierce battle, even if it wasn't a physical fight, but a contest on the spiritual level.

  After waiting in silence for a while, Su Che saw that the black-haired mouse opposite him began to shiver and tremble, as if it was suffering from immense pain...

  Finally, after waiting for it to stop shaking, Old Black's mental words also came over: "Got it! Not too difficult either."

  Su Che thought: "Besides suppressing me with your strength, you also used the Domain of the Outer Sky Demon's bewitching ability, right?"

  "Yes, master." Old Black replied: "The extraterritorial Tianmo is the common enemy of all things, which means that the Tianmo's bewitching countermeasures against the Yin Wind Mouse are equally effective. It has already recognized me as the emperor of this mouse tribe."

  "Very well, you continue." Su Che secretly felt delighted.

  Next, the first mouse king subdued by Lao Hei played the role of a messenger, sending out a large number of subordinates to all the Yin Feng Mouse tribes in the Yin Feng Gorge, notifying their mouse kings: Our tribe has finally given birth to an emperor, you quickly come to pay your respects!

  During the wait, Lao Hei explained to Su Che the characteristics of the Yin Wind Mouse: "In the Yin Wind Gorge, the mouse kings of past generations have been unable to transcend the racial barrier of low-level demon beasts and become a mid-level demon beast. In other words, the spiritual power I displayed at the fourth layer of Qi Refining is, for them, the most worthy king among kings. As the lowest level of demon beast tribe, they are limited in intelligence and easily deceived..."

  Time slowly passed, and in this cave, Lao Hei met with dozens of black-haired mouse kings. It took some effort to subdue the first few, but as his power grew and more mouse kings joined him, he quickly established the authority that came with being a ruler, making it easy to subdue the rest.

  Mice and humans are the same, they both have a psychological tendency to follow the crowd. Seeing other mouse kings acknowledging this "mouse emperor", later mouse kings dare not doubt it.

  Each of the tribal Mouse Kings commands at least nearly ten thousand ordinary Darkwind Mice, which means that Su and Hei can indirectly command several million Darkwind Mice to do their bidding.

  Rat-like demonic beasts are not ordinary rats in the mortal world after all, and no matter how strong their reproductive power is, they cannot have a scale of hundreds of millions or tens of billions. Lao Hei estimated that the total amount of yin wind mice in the Yin Wind Gorge, which was over 2,000 miles long, would not exceed one million.

  Being able to control tens of thousands of dark wind mice, can Su Che be arrogant?

  No!

  Absolutely not!

  Su Che thought it through clearly, if he were to rely on these dark winds and mice, the Tian Xuan Sect could easily send a Golden Dan cultivator who could fly in the sky and effortlessly wipe out all the dark wind mice. After all, even the strongest mouse king was only equivalent to a Qi Refining stage three, unable to fly, only able to crawl, only able to gaze up at the sky and sigh, only having the fate of being slaughtered.

  So what benefits can these rumors bring to Su Che?

  Su Che's determination lies in three aspects: finding people, searching for things, and exploring secrets!

  Get the people, it can start now. Lao Hei transmits the image, aura and other characteristics of 'Han Sa Jing' directly into the brains of each Mouse King through spiritual communication, and then they will distribute them down. There will be millions of Yin Wind Mice searching for Han Sa Jing's trail in the canyon.

  There are human ways and mouse ways, as for how those mice identify the Hansuo Jing, Su Che was too lazy to find out. This kind of thing is beyond human understanding.

  As for 'searching for objects', it naturally relies on their numerical advantage, and the fact that they are the indigenous inhabitants of the valley, to help themselves collect various spiritual grasses and minerals. In short, the specialties within the valley will also become one's own private possessions.

  In this regard, Su Che also reminded Lao Hei to grasp a good degree and not to overdo it. If the Yin Wind Gorge is searched too thoroughly, the Tian Xuan Sect's disciples and external cultivators will no longer be able to collect spiritual herbs or dig up minerals, which would inevitably lead to an investigation by the Tian Xuan Sect's upper echelons, which would be like killing a chicken for its eggs.

  Don't just make a one-time sale, but instead go for long-term and steady business, this is the wise move.
