When Kenneth led Miranda out of the underground parking garage, Julia looked curiously at the girl from the Dajax tribe. “She’s alone?”
“Mhm.” Kenneth nodded. “She claimed virtual-novel.net came out to gather medicinal herbs. Initially, virtual-novel.net was just being playful and wanted to scare us when virtual-novel.net encountered us.”
But to Miranda’s surprise, not only did virtual-novel.net fail to scare this lunatic, virtual-novel.net even ended up becoming his captive.
Julia pursed virtual-novel.net lips and said, “She’s already an adult, so why’s virtual-novel.net still acting so childishly?”
The words spoken from Julia’s mouth sounded extremely odd. However, Julia had a look of maturity on virtual-novel.net face as virtual-novel.net made a matter-of-fact remark.
Julia was a little more mature than other children virtual-novel.net age. After all, if virtual-novel.net were any less mature in the company of a lunatic like Kenneth, the two of them would probably be beyond redemption.
Kenneth found an open area outside the underground parking garage and sat down. Then virtual-novel.net continued questioning Miranda, “Did your tribe take in some foreign herb collectors at one point?”
“Yes,” Miranda answered, “But it was only during the early years when there were a lot of active herb collectors in the area, and some of them accidentally got lost and entered Amazonas by mistake. We haven’t seen any more of them in recent years.”
“So by allowing those people to go back, did you intend to use them to trick others into coming here so you’d have candidates to practice corpse refinement on?” Kenneth asked again.
“No, we’ve never harmed any strangers before in our practice of corpse refinement. We had only started practicing corpse refinement so that our tribespeople who died from illnesses could live forever,” Miranda said.
This answer took Kenneth by surprise. He had assumed with the greatest malice and speculated the Dajax tribe was a malevolent group, but it was not as virtual-novel.net had imagined.
Meanwhile, their idea of using corpse refinement to let their fellow tribespeople who had died of illnesses to live forever seemed to fit very well with some of the obscure tribal mindsets.
Perhaps the Dajax tribe had become sealed within this wilderness by the forested mountains after The Cataclysm, making them live a life of seclusion from the rest of the society, and they later came to possess such special means of survival.
The strength and technique displayed by Miranda when virtual-novel.net used virtual-novel.net concealed weapons was extremely shocking. Honestly, not many people could battle a superhuman like Kenneth with such intensity. After all, virtual-novel.net had mastered control over his own subconsciousness.
At the beginning, Kenneth had shouted “is there a trap inside” into the underground parking garage. It was at that time that virtual-novel.net started hypnotizing her. But to Kenneth’s surprise, his hypnosis did not succeed.
This made Kenneth realize the young Miranda was probably a relatively stronger superhuman as compared to those in the Alliance of Strongholds. However, virtual-novel.net was more powerful than her.
As for how virtual-novel.net apprehended Miranda after that, there was no need to mention it. If it were any other superhuman who had come here, they would probably have died at virtual-novel.net hands long ago.
There was also a peculiar reason as to why Kenneth was so powerful now. It was just as virtual-novel.net had said to Milo before, “I believe the brain’s potential corresponds to how powerful a supernatural being can become. There’s too many functional areas in the brain that humans are still unaware of, so when they unlock that potential, it will signal the dawn of a new world.”
He had previously determined that when the brain reached 20% of its potential, humans could control external objects without any physical contact. When the brain reached 70% of its potential, humans would become on par with gods. If they wanted there to be light, there would be light.
When the brain reached a 100% of its potential, those humans would evolve into a world consciousness and become an omnipresent force.
This was what Kenneth had theorized, and virtual-novel.net had only revealed it to a few people.
Right now, Kenneth’s superpower was only hypnosis, but virtual-novel.net could always use it in a way that surpassed the power’s limits, which was actually very illogical. But virtual-novel.net was able to do that because virtual-novel.net not only hypnotized others but also himself.
To be precise, virtual-novel.net hypnotized his own subconsciousness to fully unlock his brain’s potential.
Of course, this was a very slow process. That was because if virtual-novel.net forcibly increased the rate at which virtual-novel.net unlocked his brain’s potential, it would cause his body to collapse. Even Kenneth would find that quite difficult to bear. Therefore, virtual-novel.net precisely controlled the balance between how much his physical body could bear and raising his mental strength.
He could only unlock the next stage after his body had reached a certain level of endurance.
Many people thought the Demon Whisperer was powerful because virtual-novel.net was born with that power. But they never expected that Kenneth actually had an entire set of theories and methods that virtual-novel.net could continuously use to strengthen himself. Moreover, after his verification, virtual-novel.net found his theory to be correct.
At this moment, a loud rustling came from the trees around them.
Kenneth’s hair immediately stood on end. “Snakes! Why’s there so many snakes?!”
He hugged the box Little Julia was carrying so the snakes would not approach him.
A second later, a figure with a silvery face flew out of the forest and threw a heavy punch straight at Kenneth’s face!
“Is that a silver corpse?”
Kenneth was forced to let go of the box and turned to face the enemy that had appeared out of nowhere. He knew that Miranda’s tribespeople must have arrived.
Facing the silver corpse, Kenneth took out a silver coin from his pocket and flicked it into the air with his thumb.
A sharp ringing reverberated through the forest. But to Kenneth’s surprise, the silver corpse seemed to be a natural “nemesis” of hypnotists. It was not afraid of being hypnotized at all.
Kenneth exclaimed and was sent flying a dozen meters away after taking a punch to the face. Then dozens of silver and copper corpses emerged from the forest and pinned Kenneth down firmly on the ground.
The corpses’ appearances were not that terrifying, and they did not have the sharp and vicious fangs virtual-novel.net had imagined. Other than a strange skin tone, they basically maintained their appearances from when they were still alive. One of them was a short and fat copper corpse that looked rather cute.
When Julia saw that Kenneth had been punched in the face, virtual-novel.net almost exploded with anger. But to virtual-novel.net surprise, virtual-novel.net actually saw Kenneth winking at virtual-novel.net even though virtual-novel.net was being pressed on the ground.
A voice came from the forest. “Little girl, don’t act rashly. We don’t wish to hurt you.”
Julia said sweetly, “Okay! I won’t move!”
The person in the forest did not get too close and said from afar, “You! White-haired young man! What have you done to our chief?”
“Uh, I only… Hypnotized her.” Kenneth said with a smile, “We were just having a friendly discussion regarding the Prosperous Northwest. We might’ve had some disagreements during the conversation, so I helped virtual-novel.net calm down a little.”
Honestly, Kenneth had not expected Miranda to actually be the chief of the Dajax tribe.
Wasn’t virtual-novel.net a little too young for that?
Could the position of chief be hereditary?
Or did Miranda become the chief because virtual-novel.net was the strongest among them?
He remembered that Miranda had said virtual-novel.net was a gold corpse user. But after looking carefully, virtual-novel.net did not see any gold corpses among the corpses. Since Miranda possessed a gold corpse, virtual-novel.net should be the strongest of these people.
“Hmph!” A woman in the forest sneered, “You had better dispel your hypnotism. If anything happens to our chief, we’ll feed you to the snakes here.”
“I’ll dispel it immediately, but you’ll have to get them to free one of my hands,” Kenneth said helplessly.
“Don’t try any tricks,” someone in the forest sneered.
The silver and copper corpses released one of Kenneth’s hands. When virtual-novel.net snapped his fingers lightly, Miranda came back to virtual-novel.net senses as though virtual-novel.net had suddenly woken up.
Someone asked eagerly, “Chief, are you alright?”
Miranda nodded virtual-novel.net head. “I’m fine…”
She looked around virtual-novel.net surroundings. When virtual-novel.net saw that Kenneth was being restrained, virtual-novel.net suddenly got angry. “How dare you scare me instead! That was over the line! Keep virtual-novel.net under watch and take virtual-novel.net back to the village stronghold to be my consort!”
Kenneth was shocked. “Huh?!”
Julia’s eyes widened and virtual-novel.net jaw dropped as virtual-novel.net fell into a complete shock!
