Chapter 3043 Curse Tattoo Demon Mink!
Chapter 3043 Curse Tattoo Demon Mink!
Among all the queens in the Scarlet Territory, Qin Yu was undoubtedly the easiest to control. Having been a Bloodian Queen for less than a year, she couldn't have any significant trump cards.
This Curse Tattoo Demon Mink Elder was not afraid of Qin Yu. Approaching her, he said playfully, "A newly promoted Bloodian Queen dares to compete with a veteran Bloodian Queen for resources?
"Looks like your brain isn't too good. If I were you, I would have hidden far away when I sensed the auras of the other Bloodian Queens!"
Qin Yu did not waste her breath on this powerhouse from the Curse Tattoo Demon Minks. She knew about them.
The Curse Tattoo Demon Minks had always been on good terms with the Adana clan, and their relationship was unusually close. It was rumored that the Curse Tattoo Demon Minks had sent some of their descendants to the Adana clan, allowing Tina to bite them.
There was once a rumor that the leader of the Curse Tattoo Demon Minks had a crush on Tina. Qin Yu believed this to be true.
For example, Qin Yu herself had many admirers from other species. However, admiration alone could not strengthen the relationship between two species. More importantly, their interests had to align.
Lin Yuan intended to use the Blood Curse to control Tina and the Adana clan. The Curse Tattoo Demon Minks, who were on good terms with the Adana clan, were also resources for Lin Yuan.
The Curse Tattoo Demon Minks and Ancient Water Pythons all had territories near the Scarlet Territory. Perhaps the Curse Tattoo Demon Mink Elder in front of him would become his colleague in the future.
"Hehe, you think my brain isn't good, but I think you're pitifully stupid! Is Tina the only one who can call for help? Do you think I can't call for help?"
With that, Qin Yu circulated the energy in her body and began to absorb the blood energy contained in the blood forest.
Just as the Curse Tattoo Demon Mink Elder was about to speak, he felt a murderous aura envelop him.
Tina was also enveloped by this murderous aura. She felt as if she had fallen into a quagmire and had completely lost the ability to move.
Lin Yuan's figure appeared in front of Tina and the Curse Tattoo Demon Mink Elder.
Lin Yuan told Tina, "Now, you can be considered my prisoners. You are the current queen of the Adana clan, right? If you want the Adana clan to continue to develop, accept the control of Qin Yu's Blood Curse. Otherwise, I'll lock you up until you say yes. I don't want to use too much force. I hope you won't give me this chance."
After speaking to Tina, Lin Yuan turned to the Curse Tattoo Demon Mink Elder.
"I wonder what kind of status you have in the Curse Tattoo Demon Minks. If you can speak up for the species, I will spare your life. If you can't, you can join the Adana clan and become one of the Bloodians bitten by Tina."
When Lin Yuan said this, his tone was very relaxed, as if he were an inexperienced young master from a large faction.
However, Lin Yuan's seemingly ridiculous claims could be executed when he displayed his strength.
For example, Tina and Ke Bachi were no longer able to control their own fates. As long as Lin Yuan gave the order, this expert whose aura Tina and Ke Bachi could not even sense, would eliminate them.
Tina and Ke Bachi's emotions were very complicated. Tina had originally planned to use the Blood Curse she had created to control Qin Yu. However, she now realized that Qin Yu's Blood Curse was about to control her.
Qin Yu did not threaten to kill her if she refused to comply. Instead, he warned that if she did not agree, he would force her into submission, subjecting her to humiliation and torture until she complied.
Tina had little choice. If she, a Bloodian Queen, died here, the Adana clan would fall into desolation. Even without Qin Yu's intervention, other Bloodian Queens would covet the Adana clan's resources.
If Lin Yuan were only threatening Tina and making her future seem bleak, she might not necessarily obey him. However, when Lin Yuan mentioned giving Ke Bachi the first bite, it indicated that he had placed an expert within the Adana clan, which could greatly benefit them.
Tina knew this was unlikely because Ke Bachi was a core Elder of the Curse Tattoo Demon Minks and ranked among the top three. Based on her understanding of Ke Bachi, she knew he would sensibly choose to submit.
With Ke Bachi already deciding to submit, Tina knew that refusal would lead to dire consequences. She sensed a killing intent from Autumn, accompanied by an abnormally cold aura. The handsome man before her did not care about her life; if the young man opposite him gave the order, she would likely be dealt with.
For species living in the Sky Beyond the Clouds, the fear was not of being controlled by stronger forces but of their species' extinction.
Ke Bachi observed Tina's hesitation and knew she was struggling to resolve the situation.
While Ke Bachi had a good relationship with Tina, he was unwilling to become a Bloodian by her bite. The pressure high-level Bloodians exerted on lower-level ones was too great, and Ke Bachi would not allow himself to become Tina's subordinate.
Gritting his teeth, Ke Bachi said, "I am the core Elder of the Curse Tattoo Demon Minks and hold significant influence among them. What orders do you have, Lord?"
He immediately adjusted his attitude towards Qin Yu and lowered his head.
Lin Yuan was pleased with Ke Bachi's response. His quick adaptation showed his intelligence.
"The Curse Tattoo Demon Minks have a good relationship with the Adana clan. I hope you can persuade the Bloodian Queen beside you to be controlled by Qin Yu through the Blood Curse and become one of my subordinates. Otherwise, the Curse Tattoo Demon Minks will become a dependent species of the Elisa clan."
Ke Bachi quickly turned to Tina, urging her to comply. Even if the Curse Tattoo Demon Minks became a dependent species of the Adana clan due to the youth before them, their friendship with Tina would mitigate the situation. However, becoming dependent on the Elisa clan would be far worse.
Though he had never interacted with Qin Yu before, Ke Bachi's previous attitude toward her indicated that she might hold a grudge.
Seeing that Tina had yet to make a decision, Ke Bachi helplessly sent her a voice transmission. "Tina, you don't want to suffer before agreeing, right? Do you think Qin Yu will only control you when there are so many Bloodian Queens in the Land of Bloodian Ancestors?
"The faction that Qin Yu has joined is powerful. We can't resist it. If this faction helps Qin Yu control the other Bloodian Queens, your current attitude will make the Adana clan's position extremely awkward! A faction like this won't give you an out. You have to know how to give yourself an out. My attempt to persuade you now can be considered a step-down!"
Tina agreed with Ke Bachi's words. If not for having no choice, she would not have chosen to submit.
However, Tina was somewhat unwilling to give up. If someone used a Blood Curse to control her, she would be at their mercy. Once the Blood Curse entered her body, Qin Yu would be able to strip away her bloodline and even control her life and death. Such a life was not easy to live!
Tina knew that if she did not agree now and angered this youth, it would be too late.
She could only lower her head and say, "Lord, I, Adana Tina, am willing to submit to you. I just don't know if you can give me a chance. Don't let Qin Yu control me through the Blood Curse. My bloodline and talent are much stronger than Qin Yu's. I can do whatever Qin Yu can do under you. I can even do it better than Qin Yu! I hope you can fulfill my wish!"
Tina immediately knelt on the ground and looked at Lin Yuan with a pleading gaze.
Lin Yuan was surprised to see this, but Ke Bachi was relieved. He knew very well that Tina was willing to fight and would never submit to anyone easily. Therefore, Tina would fight for herself.
Ke Bachi hoped that Lin Yuan would fulfill Tina's wish. If he agreed to Tina's request, it would raise her status in Lin Yuan's eyes, improving the Curse Tattoo Demon Minks' situation.
Qin Yu did not expect Tina to have such a trick up her sleeve. She was extremely nervous. She knew that Tina's talent was far greater than her own. As a subordinate, Tina was more qualified and suitable to control the Scarlet Territory. Qin Yu feared that Lin Yuan might choose to abandon her if he had a better option and allow Tina to control her instead. If Lin Yuan decided to do this, Qin Yu would have no choice but to obey.
Lin Yuan could sense Qin Yu's nervousness. When he looked at Qin Yu, she did not even dare to meet his gaze.
Tina was extremely smart and knew how to fight for opportunities. However, Lin Yuan had promised Qin Yu that he would not go back on his word. As a leader, breaking his word would undermine the trust of his subordinates. Lin Yuan could not afford to do that.
Thus, Lin Yuan gave Qin Yu a reason to feel secure.
"Qin Yu joined my army a few months earlier than you. Everything is first come, first served. I'm sure you don't want the Bloodian Queen who joined my army later to surpass you! It's still Qin Yu controlling you through the Blood Curse.
"Qin Yu has only condensed four Blood Curses and can only control four Bloodian Queens. If Qin Yu cannot control more candidates, I can hand them over to you. Since you're a veteran queen, I trust you to assist Qin Yu without any issues."
Lin Yuan's words touched Qin Yu. Besides being extremely generous to his subordinates, he was a man of his word. Unlike other leaders, he did not focus on short-term gains and losses.
Tina was slightly disappointed by Lin Yuan's words. It had become her fate to be controlled by Qin Yu, and there was no possibility of changing it. However, she was also surprised by Lin Yuan's revelation that Qin Yu had only joined him a few months ago.
Lin Yuan's attitude toward his subordinates made Tina realize that leading the Adana clan in submitting to Lin Yuan was not impossible.
Several clans in the Land of Bloodian Ancestors had a Bloodian Queen. By assisting Qin Yu, she had a chance to use the Blood Curse to control other Bloodian Queens, potentially becoming Lin Yuan's second-in-command in the Scarlet Territory.
Tina was not afraid of Qin Yu's opinion of her. After all, she was more powerful than Qin Yu. The latter would definitely want the situation to improve if she worked for Lin Yuan, so she would rely on Tina in the future. With her reputation and status among the Bloodians, her influence was much higher than Qin Yu's.
However, Tina had no intention of undermining Qin Yu. If she subtly manipulated Qin Yu, it would be equivalent to defying Lin Yuan's orders.
Tina obediently accepted the control of Qin Yu's Blood Curse before standing behind her. She did not continue to fight with Qin Yu for the dense blood energy in the blood forest.
Since she had arrived at the blood forest first, Tina knew more about its situation. She told Lin Yuan, "Young Master, there's a blood beast that's likely to have surpassed the level of the Spirit Territory buried under this blood forest.
"However, due to the passage of time, the energy in the blood beast's body has almost completely dissipated, leaving only a few bones. These bones have completely turned into jade and look like dark red blood jade. The changes in the bones must be because the bone marrow inside hasn't been lost."
Tina had an awkward expression on her face. "Actually, when I first came to the blood forest, I had already started digging. If it weren't for the fact that Ke Bachi and I couldn't break through this blood bone with our strength, I would have most likely absorbed the bone marrow by now.
"Why don't we leave these blood bones to Sister Qin Yu? If these blood bones can be broken, the advanced blood energy inside will definitely allow Sister Qin Yu's bloodline and strength to improve further!"
