"Waaah--"
The wolf-like Calamity Beast whimpered softly, indicating that it understood.
"Okay, then go!" Shen Heng said finally, then removed his hand from the wolf-like Calamity Beast's head.
The wolf-like Calamity Beast glanced at Shen Heng, then turned and walked towards the dark portal.
It paused just before entering the portal.
She turned around and glanced at Shen Heng again before going inside.
Shen Heng stood silently in place, looking at the teleportation portal not far away, waiting.
Although his ability in emotional manipulation is not high-level, the difference in their ranks makes him a force that ordinary Calamity Beast cannot withstand.
First Tier lower might offer some resistance, but two levels lower, there's basically no hope.
There are actually other related applications.
For example, you could directly use sound waves to overwhelm the target's mind, and then input commands into them, making the target act according to orders.
Alternatively, one could release subtle sound waves to implant them into the target's subconscious, causing them to unconsciously follow commands.
However, in the former case, once the target's spirit is crushed, they can only perform simple actions; anything slightly more complex is beyond their capabilities, since their spirit has already been broken.
However, this method is the simplest and most direct, and it has the fewest restrictions on the target's strength. As long as the difference in strength between the target and Shen Heng is sufficient, it can be implemented forcefully.
The latter is very complex, and the actions cannot be too outrageous; the target's strength must be significantly weaker.
The only advantage is that, barring unforeseen circumstances, after this process is over, the target will only believe that they genuinely thought that way and that's why they acted that way!
For example, Shen Heng could simply go out and ask someone for money. As long as the amount wasn't too outrageous for that person, they would just give him the money without feeling anything was wrong with it.
Compared to the two above.
The method Shen Heng just used on the wolf-like Calamity Beast, which involved using extreme emotional manipulation to make the target obey orders, can be considered a compromise.
This method is relatively complex to implement, but not overly so; it imposes certain limitations on the target's capabilities, but doesn't require a significant difference; it preserves the target's mindset, allowing them to execute some complex and slightly absurd orders, which will then be detected afterward.
In conclusion, each of the three methods has its own advantages and disadvantages.
However, overall, the disadvantages are actually greater at present.
After all, we'll need to use this...
Factors such as the target's strength, timeliness, and accessibility make it difficult to find suitable and usable targets.
Therefore, Shen Heng had almost never used this ability in previous battles.
"If we want to continue developing in this area, we can probably only hope for the Ability Evolution..."
Shen Heng let out a soft breath.
He stared at the dark portal, waiting silently.
One minute, two minutes, three...
Suddenly, his gaze sharpened.
In the field of vision, a shadow appeared inside the black portal, with several faint lights outlining its shape.
So, it seems like it's possible to travel back and forth normally?... Shen Heng looked thoughtfully at the shadow.
After a pause, the shadow came to its senses from its spatial journey, glanced around, and then stepped outside.
The same black, and not soft, fur.
The wolf-like Calamity Beast emerged and, upon seeing Shen Heng, quickly ran over.
"Waaah--"
A voice, like a puppy whining, rang out.
It lay on the ground, shaking its head, begging for comfort.
Shen Heng chuckled, and just as he was about to raise his hand to touch it, he suddenly paused.
The nostrils twitched slightly.
A faint smell of sulfur lingered in the air.
Sulfur?... He pondered for a moment, then pressed his raised hand down again, gently rubbing it.
Is there no danger on the other side?
"No, I went outside for a walk, but I didn't see a single other Calamity Beast!" The wolf-like Calamity Beast lay on the ground, its eyes fixed on the human in front of it, and replied.
"What about the terrain?" Shen Heng asked.
"Terrain?" The wolf looked up, somewhat puzzled, at Shen Heng.
"Um... it's about what the surrounding environment is like!" Shen Heng explained.
"Um..."
Lost in thought, the wolf-like Calamity Beast raised its eyes.
"They're mountains that breathe fire, and it's very hot and smells awful!"
A volcano?... Shen Heng's gaze paused for a moment, then he asked:
"Did you see any trees or grass?"
"No, it's bare, the ground is still black!" the wolf-like Calamity Beast replied.
Nodding slightly, Shen Heng lowered his eyes in thought.
Is it purely volcanic terrain? Is it only the area outside the portal that's like this, or is the entire space like this? If the entire space is like this...?
Suddenly, a slight movement came from under my palm.
Shen Heng looked at the wolf-like Calamity Beast that was moving its head and rubbing against his hand because he had stopped.
He paused for a moment, then chuckled softly:
"Yes, you did a great job this time!"
Upon hearing the praise, the wolf-like Calamity Beast let out a satisfied whimper, then nudged its head even faster.
Shen Heng watched the scene unfold with a smile.
My palms, rubbing, rubbing, rubbing...
Without a sound, the wolf-like Calamity Beast lay motionless on the ground.
The hand that was gently kneading stopped.
Shen Heng looked at the wolf-like Calamity Beast and let out a soft breath.
He turned around, glanced around, and then raised his hand.
A beam of light, formed from Origin Power, flew towards the ground in the distance.
With a loud 'boom'.
A huge crater appeared at that location.
Then, the carcass of the wolf-like Calamity Beast flew up and headed towards that location.
During this process, the Origin Crystal was removed.
The body was then placed in the cave and buried.
Shen Heng turned his gaze back to the dark teleportation portal ahead.
After thinking for a moment, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and flew towards that direction.
The surrounding light was gradually swallowed by darkness.
Soon, Shen Heng felt a slight sense of disorientation.
When I came to my senses again, the scene before me had completely changed.
The black mountains stretch into the distance, dotted with fine red tributaries.
In many places, you can still see black, protruding rocks that resemble tributaries.
Shen Heng stood there, watching the scene unfold before him.
The air was thicker with the smell of sulfur compounds than it had just emanated from the wolf-like Calamity Beast.
He didn't move; he just stood there quietly.
One voice after another rang in my ears.
After a long while, Shen Heng let out a soft breath.
Instead of moving forward to explore, he turned around and walked towards the dark portal standing behind him.
