Chapter 298 - 175: A Creature Comparable to the Thorned Flying Dragon - The Surprise in the Tuogu Tribe’s Secret Vault_2
```
However, just as the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon was still charging and the sword light phantasm had not yet fully condensed, a giant Blue Blood Clan member, over five meters tall, suddenly emerged from the stone house of the tribe’s chieftain below.
The moment Song Chi in the Cangqiong Main Control Room saw this figure, he was mildly surprised, his eyes filled with astonishment.
"Is this, already touching the threshold of Third Rank?"
For the current Cangqiong, Third Rank creatures are not to be feared; there have already been quite a few Third Rank Peak creatures that have perished under its might.
The reason for Song Chi’s surprise was based on the Blue Blood Floating Land itself below.
As is well known, under the premise of not plundering external resources, the level of the Starry Sea Floating Land itself, that is, the upper limit of the creatures nurtured on the Floating Land.
Yet this Blue Blood Floating Land was clearly only Second Rank, but the Blue Blood Clan member below had managed to break this limit and touch the threshold of Third Rank, which was evidently quite unusual.
Of course, while such cases are extremely rare in the Shattered Starry Sea, they are not nonexistent.
Generally speaking, creatures that can break through the limit of the Floating Land itself and surpass the rank of the Floating Land are without exception those with shocking talent and extraordinary genetic bloodlines.
Such creatures, once they completely break free from their shackles, will soar as if they are dragons plunging into the sea, vaulting into the skies, and their future achievements will be boundless.
Thinking this, Song Chi subconsciously shifted the muzzle of the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon.
Boom!
Soon, just like the other Blue Blood Clan tribes, the largest tribe on this Blue Blood Floating Land also turned to ash under the fire of Cangqiong.
On the tribe’s altar, the five-meter-tall Blue Blood Clan member deliberately left alive by Song Chi had his eyes tightly closed, and had fallen into unconsciousness under the continuous attack of two secondary cannons—the Electromagnetic Ray Cannon and the Cold Light Heavenly Frost Cannon.
Above the Vault of Heaven, the Cangqiong slowly descended and, upon reaching a certain altitude, Song Chi directly activated the Enslavement Medal component.
That’s right, he was going to enslave this Blue Blood Clan member.
He valued the individual’s potential and was also considering the "Enslavement Mark: Frenzy" feature, which would need to be recharged in less than eight months, so naturally, he had to prepare several suitable enslavement creatures.
Considering this Blue Blood Clan member’s nearly Third Rank strength, as long as he brought him to the "Soul Spirit Floating Land" subsequently, it was likely that he could directly assault Third Rank, becoming a suitable vessel for the "Enslavement Mark: Frenzy."
As an enslavement mark descended from above and entered the body of this nearly Third Rank Blue Blood Clan member, within not even two seconds, he was successfully enslaved.
No matter how high one’s innate gifts might be, they were still not quite Third Rank, and before the Red Quality Enslavement Medal, there was no chance of resistance.
With the successful enslavement, this nearly Third Rank Blue Blood Clan member also woke up from his unconscious state.
Two minutes later, Song Chi learned some basic information about him. Enjoy new tales from empire
His name was Tuogu Hong, the chieftain of the Tuogu Tribe below, naturally strong with immense power.
Upon hearing this, Song Chi merely nodded lightly because the moment he successfully enslaved the individual, he had already obtained his specific attributes.
Name: Tuogu Hong
Race: Blue Blood Clan
Age: 42
Natural Ability: Blue Blood Physique, Dragon Horse Strength, Ancestral Blessing
Remark: A once-in-a-millennium prodigy of the Blue Blood Clan, with astonishing potential.
Upon seeing his attributes, to tell the truth, Song Chi was greatly shocked. Three innate abilities, you must know that even the Thorned Flying Dragon, ranked at the Fourth Tier Peak in the Song family’s genetic bloodline catalog, had only three innate abilities.
And this Tuogu Hong was merely a lower lifeform born on a Second Rank Floating Land; compared to the starting point of the Thorned Flying Dragon, calling him a genius with unbounded potential for the future was certainly not an overstatement.
After thinking for a moment, while communicating with Tuogu Hong using mind induction, Song Chi maneuvered the Cangqiong around the vicinity. By the time they returned to the airspace of the now-destroyed Tuogu Tribe, the Cangqiong had already acquired more than a hundred Blue Blood Clan members, sealed within cages.
```
Song Chi’s idea was simple: since Tuogu Hong possessed such high innate gifts, he wanted to try to continue this excellent genetic lineage and cultivate a powerful clan.
There was no need to reach the level of Tuogu Hong; if they could possess even half of his bloodline’s power, that would definitely be a creature that could rank in the third tier of the genetic lineage spectrum. If they really could cultivate such a creature, it would become an exclusive domesticated species for their Tenth Direct Vein.
Of course, this was just his idea. The specifics of the subsequent cultivation attempts didn’t need his intervention; there were naturally people below who would carry out these tasks.
Since their Tenth Direct Vein had returned to the family for over four months, it was natural that there wasn’t just their own household. Around Green Moon Lake, more than a thousand people had already gathered, most of whom were the descendants of grandpa’s brothers and were directly related by blood. Therefore, grandpa had incorporated them all into the Tenth Direct Vein.
Although there weren’t many Torch Ship Captains among these people, and their strength wasn’t strong, they could still be entrusted with some of the miscellaneous affairs within the Vein.
While various ideas flickered through Song Chi’s mind, Tuogu Hong, who had become nearly the height of an ordinary person under the "Size As You Wish: Small" feature, suddenly brought out a resource that greatly surprised him.
"A Third Rank Floating Land Origin? Where did you get this, and how much more do you have?"
Indeed, what he had brought out was a cluster of Third Rank Floating Land Origin. Although there were only 50 strands, it delighted Song Chi immensely.
Third Rank Floating Land Origin, strictly speaking, amounted to 20 strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin per strand, which meant that just the 50 strands in hand were equivalent to 1000 strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin.
And having obliterated so many Blue Blood Clan tribes, the total amount of Second Rank Floating Land Origin he had gathered was only 1400 strands, so naturally, he was pleased.
Upon hearing Song Chi’s question, Tuogu Hong responded with his thoughts:
"Replying to the master, this was left behind by the ancestors of the tribe. There isn’t much left, with only 50 more strands in the tribe’s secret vault."
Song Chi’s eyebrows rose.
"Secret vault?"
Upon hearing these two words, he felt a faint sense of fortune that if he hadn’t kept Tuogu Hong before, he would have missed out on this so-called secret vault.
According to the detection results from the [Silver III Generation Super-Wave Magical Energy Detection Radar], there was no indication of any other high-energy fluctuations present.
Clearly, either the secret vault mentioned by Tuogu Hong was buried deep underground, beyond the current Lv30 magic energy detection radar’s range, or the vault had used some material to isolate energy, preventing the magic energy detection radar from detecting the specific energy fluctuations.
Under the guidance of Tuogu Hong, Song Chi quickly found the answer.
This so-called secret vault was not located underground but had used a large amount of Magic Suppression Stone, a special material, to isolate the energy fluctuations inside and out, which is why the magic energy detection radar had failed to find it.
Upon entering the vault, Tuogu Hong quickly fetched another 50 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin for Song Chi. After securing it, Song Chi began to survey this rather small vault.
The vault occupied only a few dozen square meters, yet it housed quite a few stone platforms, and each platform had an item on it.
What Song Chi was inspecting were these items.
The things that the Tuogu Tribe treasured enough to keep in their secret vault naturally held guaranteed value. With just a glance, he saw several materials of considerable value.
For instance, the Volcanic Flame Iron, valued at 10 strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin per ton. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Or the Zircon which would earn one Golden Merit point in the Family Merit Hall.
And a rare Primary Energy Crystal.
...
Although these were all of decent value, for the upgraded Cangqiong and Song Chi, they could only be considered okay.
What drew Song Chi’s attention was a stone platform at the very back of the vault.
On this platform lay a resource that ignited a fierce heat in his heart.
