"Butt, this concerns our chain quest."
Bai Pu said, "I need a servant capable of interpreting the Naga language. A Reinforced Elite chieftain will certainly be better than an Elite Naga Soldier."
"Listen to Lord Steel Heart." Butt glared at his Awakened subordinate, then smiled apologetically at Bai Pu. "My men don't know any better."
Bai Pu had always adhered to the principle of Equivalent Exchange. If others showed him respect, he returned the favor.
"Butt, if my control attempt fails, this Reinforced Elite Naga Chieftain will still drop a treasure chest, and it will remain yours. If I succeed, you'll lose a Reinforced Elite chest. However, those three Elite Naga Soldiers are still alive. Finish them off, and if they drop treasure chests, that will compensate you."
Butt grinned from ear to ear. "Then thank you for your generosity, Lord Steel Heart."
Bai Pu sent out a drop of pure blood and attempted to control the Naga Chieftain.
The other Awakened watched eagerly.
This time, Bai Pu felt the pressure—controlling a Reinforced Elite in the Ascension Plane was even harder than controlling a Lord-level demon general in the Heart Demon World! Gritting his teeth, Bai Pu relinquished control over the sand crab servant.
The sand crab servant's tiny eyes blinked. Driven by Evolution Instinct, it had originally wanted to kill the nearby humans and obtain fresh flesh and blood.
However, with Bai Pu, the holder of the Evolution Heart, present, that terrifying superior pressure made the Mutated Sand Crab seem as though it had encountered its natural predator. It swiftly burrowed into the sand and fled in a panic using Submerge Sand.
Without the sand crab servant occupying his power capacity, Bai Pu's control over the Naga Chieftain finally proceeded smoothly.
The pure blood seeped in inch by inch.
