Swallowing the Stars: Realm of Control

Chapter 55 Spoils of War

Once outside the courtyard, Luo Feng saw the gatekeeper and, without hesitation, killed him.

Then, he quietly left the courtyard.

Back at home, it was as if nothing had happened.

……

He took out one of the tokens from the spatial bottle, which seemed to have the words "Five Peaks" on it. Although Luo Feng's clone was not fully literate, he still understood some of the characters.

"Five Peaks? Related to that so-called 'Mountain God'?" Luo Feng frowned.

This thing looks like a communication token, or a symbol of identity... "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be a communication token; it's more like a symbol of identity. If it were a communication token, Adamostel wouldn't have needed to go into the cave."

Luo Feng then took out another piece, which looked even more ordinary; it was just a plaque, and the materials used were far inferior.

"What kind of character is this?" Luo Feng couldn't read.

He shook his head and put it away.

He simply dripped blood onto that knife and it became his own.

"This knife is similar to that bow; it doesn't seem to be any stronger." Luo Feng weighed it in his hand and could only say that it was sufficient for his current clone to use.

This will increase his strength by about 50% to 80%.

Luo Feng also took the bow and made it his own.

As for that silver sword, we'll sell it somewhere, perhaps in a large market town.

One by one, jade boxes were laid out in front of me.

Luo Feng opened it, and inside were some pills.

"Exploding Qi Pill?" Luo Feng looked at the words on it, still not quite understanding.

There was also a pale golden pill, emitting a refreshing medicinal fragrance, which Luo Feng couldn't resist swallowing in one gulp.

There were four pits in total, containing three different types of pills. One of them had been used up by that old guy in the cave.

Besides the elixirs, there are probably books that introduce this region, but Luo Feng doesn't understand them very well for now. He'll have to study the language himself later.

Without information, everything is too limited.

There were also some medicinal herbs, some metallic substances, and some scales similar to those that his original self had obtained—all sorts of miscellaneous items.

……

In just three and a half hours, news of the death of the village chief spread throughout the three villages. Luo Feng had thought the news would be suppressed, but it was clear that it had not.

Bang bang bang.

The gate to the courtyard where Luo Feng was located was also knocked on.

Luo Feng walked out with a puzzled look on his face. It was his second uncle, Tie Shi. He looked somewhat anxious and said in a low voice:

"Sanyuan, something terrible has happened in Maoshan Village. The clan chief has just been found dead in his own courtyard. Be prepared for this. If anything happens, be sure to call me."

"For us, this matter could be a big deal or a small deal. If it was done by that outsider, as long as he doesn't hold a grudge against us, it shouldn't have much of an impact. But if it was done by someone else, there might be other problems for us."

"Let's be prepared in advance and see how they handle this."

After informing his uncle Tieshi, he also left directly.

Before Luo Feng could react much,

Luo Feng didn't react much either. He was the one who killed Adamostel, so of course he didn't react.

"The villagers' reaction in Maoshan Village is not important. What is important is the mountain god's reaction. Given his intelligence, he shouldn't be coming to Maoshan Village to find me again."

"Let things be chaotic for a while, then I'll figure out a way to repay some of the karmic debts and favors."

Luo Feng shook his head and turned to look.

At this moment, Qing Shi and San Hua also came out and asked what had happened. Luo Feng simply gave a solemn explanation.

"Mother, elder sister, I'm going out for a bit to check on everyone."

Luo Feng immediately left the courtyard and arrived at the entrance of the village.

Everyone was discussing this matter. Luo Feng's face showed shock and solemnity, and he switched his expressions so smoothly that no one could tell.

The news quickly spread to other villages, and almost everyone shared the same view:

The one who took action was that extraterrestrial visitor, seeking revenge.

As they suspected, it was Luo Feng who made the move. However, Luo Feng's motives were not solely revenge; he was also driven by the need for survival.

A few days later, the entire Maoshan Village was on high alert, and the overall atmosphere was more somber than before.

After the unfortunate events of the past did not occur, white silk was hung throughout the courtyard of the clan chief of the three villages, and a grand ceremony was held to mark the passing of the clan chief and one of his great-grandson.

Everyone in the village, including Luo Feng's clone, also made a brief appearance.

Some cried, while others were secretly happy, finally free from the clan leader's control... All these different expressions could not escape Luo Feng's eyes when he turned his head.

When the big wolf from Shangcun arrived, Luo Feng looked at its expression and saw a hint of smugness in its solemn eyes.

"Big Wolf is a thoughtful person. Beneath his carefree exterior lies a heart that is unwilling to be confined to Maoshan Village... The Heavenly Aperture required for cultivation ultimately restricts him."

Luo Feng sighed softly.

He quite likes this personality trait, but those who are often happy in front of others often have more thoughts on their minds.

"Meeting is fate, and coincidentally, I have a Spirit Aperture Pearl in my hand." Luo Feng smiled and then left the crowd.

Adamost was soon buried, and with that, the matter officially came to an end.

Maoshan Village has returned to its usual tranquility.

There was not much controversy regarding the new choice of chieftain; he was succeeded by one of Adamostel's grandsons, and later, when Adashitto returned, he would naturally take over the position.

Hunting has resumed in all the villages.

Five months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Go to the village.

Thirty-seven led a team of ten members, making it a team of eleven in total.

They marched in a grand procession toward the edge of Mount Damao.

As evening approached, each member of the group carried at least one mountain wolf or stone dog on their shoulder, looking quite pleased with themselves.

"Although my luck wasn't as good as the previous times, it's still pretty good to have a big tree ferocious beast. It's a treasure comparable to a spirit-level great ferocious beast. I haven't encountered one in a long time."

Big Wolf is still as positive and optimistic as ever, and he talks a lot.

"That's all thanks to the captain. His archery skills are even better than before," someone praised.

Thirty-seven shook his head and smiled: "Dongzi has sharp eyesight. If he hadn't seen it, we probably wouldn't have noticed this tree grotesque at all."

At this moment, the group suddenly stopped.

In front of them stood a figure, as tall as them, whose face was covered and who was dressed in bulky clothes, making it impossible to discern his form.

Everyone immediately became alert.

"Who are you?" Thirty-seven put down the tree fangs on his body and stood guard in front of everyone present. The other ten people also dropped the prey on their shoulders.

Be on high alert.
