The Shackled Man, the Moon Beast
Ten people were called in along with Su Zhan. The person leading the way glanced at them, confirmed that there were ten people, and then silently led the way without saying anything more.
Clearly, they've done it countless times; they're so familiar with it that they don't even bother to look at it again.
Upon entering, Su Zhan was startled. He saw a muscular man inside, his hands and feet bound by thick iron chains, struggling incessantly, his face contorted in a ferocious expression, his body covered in bloody marks from the chains.
He stared intently at everyone who approached, his eyes seeming to want to devour them all.
In all his years, Su Zhan had never seen such a fierce person. It's true that there are all sorts of birds in a big forest.
The others who came in with him were all young, and some of the more timid ones were even scared to death.
Their trembling, fearful appearance made it clear to those sitting down that most of them were there to try their luck.
Just as the person in the main seat was about to wave for the other man to take these people away again, Su Zhan suddenly stood up.
"I know what to do about this illness." The group's eyes lit up immediately.
His gaze swept over Su Zhan several times before he asked, "Do you really have a way?"
The suspicion was unmistakable in his eyes; Su Zhan had been stared at like that countless times.
To be honest, he wasn't sure; judging from the symptoms, he had some guesses.
Because he had consumed too much Mental Power recently, he had gained some understanding of this. When too much Mental Power is consumed, one feels lightheaded and powerless.
This symptom stems from a weakened connection between the mind and body.
If something tries to invade the body and seize control at this time, it is very likely to succeed.
Fortunately, he didn't possess any ferocious beasts or Artifact with extremely strong Sha Qi, and the Cultivation Method were all loyal to him, so he didn't have such thoughts.
But if it were someone surrounded by ferocious beasts or other creatures, it could be a big problem.
After the young master in front of me went mad, he possessed an extremely strong bestial nature, probably because he was devoured by some kind of ferocious beast.
He wasn't sure, but he had to try. Even if he guessed wrong, he'd just be kicked out again.
He stood up straight, put his hands behind his back, and looked completely at ease.
He said, "Young Master, have you been through a fierce battle recently, suffering great losses, especially in terms of your mental state?"
"And he has a ferocious creature that he has carried with him for many years."
Those who heard this were all shocked and chased the others out, leaving only Su Zhan behind.
He said respectfully, "It seems you are indeed a capable person, sir. You are absolutely right. Is there any way to proceed?"
Su Zhan pretended to think. Although he knew what the situation was, he didn't know how to fix it, so he could only try anything as a last resort.
Since the current situation is due to his weakened Mental Power being controlled, the solution is simply to strengthen his Mental Power.
In theory, this would allow one to regain control of their body and break free from manipulation.
However, they currently have no Cultivation Method available to enhance their Mental Power.
Even if it were possible, cultivation takes time, and in his current state, he naturally couldn't cultivate, so he could only try another method.
Destroy whatever is controlling him!
He asked, "What exactly is that ferocious creature that's staying next to the young master?"
The person opposite him hesitated, clearly unwilling to speak, which surprised Su Zhan. They were so anxious and helpless about the illness, so why were they hiding it?
So Su Zhan could only say, "You don't have to tell me, but no one but me can handle this matter. If you still can't tell the truth, you'd better find someone else." With that, he waved his sleeves and was about to leave.
Someone behind them got impatient and went over to tug at the sleeve of the person who was talking to Su Zhan, but the person still wouldn't budge.
Just as Su Zhan was about to step out the door, he said, "Okay, we can tell you, but you must make sure you absolutely don't tell anyone about this."
Su Zhan: "That's no problem."
"The reason the Moon Worship Tribe is so powerful is that each member keeps a ferocious beast. However, the Ordinary Grade members of the Moon Worship Tribe only keep some ferocious beasts that are common in the cultivation Immortal Realm."
Those with exceptional talent might try to send people to capture some rare and powerful Spirit Beast.
"But no one knows that the most powerful lineage of the Moon Worship Cult's chieftain is raising the same Moon Beast."
"To be precise, this is no longer a ferocious beast. How could an ordinary Spirit Beast possibly live for so many years?"
"Moon Beast are creatures that devour the Sky Swallowing Beast, born from the darkness by absorbing the essence of the night; they are extremely dangerous and brutal."
"He is powerful, devoid of any ethical principles, and has a tyrannical personality. He often kills innocent people indiscriminately. Even if you defeat him and become his master, he will never submit; he will only lie in wait for an opportunity to take revenge."
"In the legends of the Moon Worship Tribe, this thing was long ago destroyed by their ancestors. Neither members of the clan nor outsiders know that it has already signed Contract with the main lineage."
"Contract are extremely fragile, causing immense pain for a month every year from now on, so they must be kept secret, otherwise it will be very dangerous."
"The Moon Worship Tribe has many enemies; they will definitely choose to attack them this month."
"But normally, since we know this period is very vulnerable, we take precautions and there have never been any accidents."
"During this period, besides causing pain, there haven't been any other interesting developments. But this time, perhaps because his body is severely injured and weak, and the middle of the year is almost here, he has fallen into this manic state, and the backlash is severe."
After listening to their words, Su Zhan realized that he knew the cause of the illness, but he had no solution, which was why he was seeking help from various people.
They also realized that their idea would not work. Since the Moon Beast was the Moon Worship Tribe's greatest reliance and most powerful means, they naturally could not abandon it.
So we have to find another way, but what other way is there?
Su Zhan had a terrible headache, but he couldn't show it, so he could only ask them, "Can I see that Moon Beast?"
They looked troubled and said, "It's possible, but that Moon Beast is usually raised by Young Master himself. Outsiders have no idea where it is, and it's impossible for them to see it."
"If it sees a stranger and there's no one to supervise it, it will definitely kill them."
Nothing I do works, how do I fix this?
Su Zhan was troubled and remembered the system's search function, so he asked the system to search for information on the Moon Beast.
System: "Ding, searching..."
"Ding, search results are as follows..."
Moon Beast are formed from the essence of heaven and earth. They have no physical form and are often born in darkness, making them extremely yin creatures.
It is incredibly powerful. If it Contract with another race, the Contract party will gain immense power, but will also suffer from mental reflexes.
