Chapter 433: After all, I'm not a demon
Su Chen could clearly see from the map that such a huge crater had actually been refilled by soil emerging from beneath!
"What's going on? This isn't scientific."
Unscientific, very magical. If Su Chen hadn't known that there was no such thing as magic on this planet, he would have thought he was seeing things.
Although there was no magic, in the eyes of some people, the actions of the Ghost Clan were almost like magic.
With no king or Ghost Master, the Footless Tribe had lost its resistance, and most of the Ghost Clan had been captured and locked in a specially built prison, awaiting one of two fates.
Naturally, one fate was for them to become miners. Su Chen was planning to develop his mining business on Yan Yun Star.
The second fate was, of course, research on materials. Su Chen wouldn't have any mercy towards the Ghost Clan. Researching them could help him quickly understand the principles of Ghost Patterns, which would be very helpful for Yun Ru's research.
With so much experimental material, Yun Ru's research speed increased significantly. After all, she didn't have to worry about the Ghost Clan dying out.
Through this live broadcast, the people living in the Base city of Yan Yun Star witnessed the true strength of their Red Alert Base. It was a million Ghost Clan, an army that could easily wipe out a city, yet they had perished here.
No one was more excited than Hui Pu Prince. He felt that he now understood the power of the Red Alert Base. With this strength, as long as they were given time, the possibility of restoration was real!
Once the restoration happened, he would be the new king, controlling a planet, leaving his mark in history!
"Hehehe... Hahaha..." Hui Pu Prince let out a disgusting laugh.
At that moment, a Red Alert Soldier notified him that the Commander wanted to see him.
Hui Pu Prince immediately composed himself. After confirming that his appearance was fine, he followed the soldier to the command room.
"Greetings, Commander." Hui Pu knew his place very well. Before the restoration, his so-called prince status was nothing. He positioned himself lowly.
Su Chen was somewhat satisfied with Hui Pu's behavior. At least he wasn't a brainless prince.
"Do you know why I called you here?" Su Chen asked calmly.
Hui Pu's mind began to churn. The Red Alert Base had just achieved a great victory, annihilating a tribe of the Ghost Clan. Such an achievement would impress anyone, no matter where they were on Yan Yun Star.
"I'm slow-witted and can't think of it. I ask Commander for a hint."
"No need for hints, I'll just tell you." Su Chen waved his hand, and a semi-transparent interface appeared in front of Hui Pu's eyes. He saw the scene.
The massive crater that had been there had suddenly been refilled by soil that emerged from underground. In just a few tens of seconds, the enormous hole had disappeared.
If it had been covered with a thin layer on the surface, that would be one thing, but Su Chen had his subordinates try, and the soil extended all the way down. The original crater had completely vanished.
Shock appeared in Hui Pu's eyes; he had never seen such a thing before.
Destruction was easy as long as you had powerful weapons, but filling such a massive hole would take years to calculate. Yet, he saw this enormous hole being filled in just a few tens of seconds.
If he didn't know that Su Chen couldn't deceive him with a fake image, he would have thought it was a hoax.
"Commander, do you want me to find out about this crater?" Hui Pu cautiously asked.
"You're clever, I like smart people. But I don't like people who are too clever. You should understand what I mean."
There was a hint of warning in Su Chen's words, and Hui Pu could naturally pick up on it. He spoke carefully, "Commander, I genuinely don't know what's happening with this crater. However, I've heard that Ghost Masters within the Ghost Clan possess mysterious abilities. Maybe it was done by a Ghost Master."
Upon being reminded by Hui Pu, Su Chen remembered the bizarre behavior of the elderly Ghost Clan member he had seen earlier. Could he be the Ghost Master of the Footless Tribe? Did he fill in the crater?
"Is this an attempt to keep me from entering the world of the Ghost Clan?" Su Chen's lips curved into a cold smile.
He could guess Ghost Master's thoughts. Since they were able to reach the surface from this crater, Su Chen could also find a way through to the Underworld where the Ghost Clan resided. This was something Ghost Master didn't want to happen.
The main reason the Ghost Clan could suppress humans was that humans couldn't find the Ghost Clan's Underworld!
Yan Yun Star was too vast and complex. Completely understanding the situation underground was almost impossible, let alone pinpointing where exactly the Ghost Clan resided.
Once the Underworld of the Ghost Clan was found, their biggest advantage would be gone.
Generally, Ghost Clan members who came out of the Underworld had all their memories about the Underworld wiped out. They only knew one thing: to come to the surface and kill humans.
However, Su Chen knew that these Footless Tribe Ghost Clan members hadn't come to the surface through proper means. This meant they might know the way back to the Underworld!
Unfortunately, the most powerful king and Ghost Master were both dead, and it wasn't clear if the remaining lackeys would be of any use.
Now that he had a general idea of the situation, Hui Pu was taken away. Soon, three Seventh Order Ghost Clan members were brought forward.
"Humans, you better release us. The power of the Ghost Clan is beyond your comprehension!" one of the Seventh Order Ghost Clan members boasted.
Then... a Red Alert Soldier kicked him. He stomped on the Ghost Clan member, leaving a deep imprint of his boot on the face.
If Commander hadn't given orders, based solely on the disrespect towards Commander, the Red Alert Soldier would have killed him instantly!
The other two Seventh Order Ghost Clan members didn't speak. They knew that if they remained defiant as prisoners, they would only meet death more swiftly.
Just as there were traitors among humans, the same applied to the Ghost Clan. Any inequality, any humiliation, would cause a small portion of the Ghost Clan to harbor resentment. They would rather see humans win than the Ghost Clan flourish.
Clearly, the Ghost Clan member who was stomped on was not likely to be a source of information, but the other two were harder to predict.
Su Chen wore a gentle smile on his face, not at all like someone holding the power of life and death over countless individuals. "I brought the three of you here because I want to know one thinghow do you return to your Underworld?"
Even though he was being stepped on, the Seventh Order Ghost Clan member laughed heartily. "You think you can learn about our homeland? Dream on, go eat..."
He didn't finish his sentence. The Red Alert Soldier forcefully stamped on his head, crushing it instantly, leaving a mixture of red and white on the ground.
"Anyone who speaks will live, after all, I'm not a demon." (To be continued)
