Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 161 – The Appearance of Dragon Flame

Lin Fan crouched down and removed the Crystals from the heads of the five jackal-kin corpses.

Five Crystals lay quietly in her palm.

Three were light blue, one was earthy yellow, and one was dark red.

Lin Fan put the Crystals into her Storage Space, a thoughtful glint flashing in her amber eyes.

She had discovered an interesting phenomenon.

On Blue Star, Evolved beings faced strict attribute restrictions when consuming Crystals.

Strength-types could only absorb strength-type Crystals, and speed-types could only absorb speed-type Crystals.

But on the Dragon Spirit Continent, this rule seemed to be broken.

Although the intelligent lifeforms here also had attribute leanings, as long as a Crystal’s level was high enough, they could forcibly absorb it to increase their strength, even if the attributes didn’t match.

The efficiency would just be a bit lower.

Lin Fan narrowed her eyes.

Spirit Energy.

Everything in this world operated in relation to Spirit Energy.

The bodies of the Dragon Spirit Continent’s creatures, constantly immersed in an environment of Spirit Energy, had a far greater tolerance for energy than the humans of Blue Star.

An idea suddenly popped into Lin Fan’s mind.

If she brought the Chosen Ones from Blue Star to the Dragon Spirit Continent and let them absorb Spirit Energy for a long time, could they also break their attribute restrictions?

Perhaps… they might even undergo some kind of evolution?

The thought flashed through her mind and was gone.

Lin Fan didn’t dwell on it. She stood up and continued deeper into the forest.

She needed more combat data.

She had just tested the Mind Control ability of the Nine-tailed celestial fox bloodline.

The effect was astonishing.

But it also had clear limitations.

Lin Fan recalled the battle process.

Su Rou originally only had the strength of a level-two, making her completely unable to wield the power of the incomplete Nine-tailed celestial fox bloodline. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have ended up as a slave.

But now, the one controlling this body was her.

With the 50% Mental Strength bonus from her main body, her current Mental Strength was as high as 867 points.

This value was already at the level of a level-five mental-type Evolved being.

Paired with the Mind Control characteristic of the Nine-tailed celestial fox bloodline, dealing with targets below level-four was an absolute stomp.

Although that jackal-kin leader had the physical constitution of a level-four, its Mental Strength was terrifyingly low—a level-four jackal-kin’s Mental Strength was only slightly higher than a level-two’s.

As long as her Mental Strength suppressed the target’s by more than two levels, their perception would be instantly altered.

They would see her as the most important person in the world.

Willing to do anything for her.

Including suicide.

But the problem was also obvious.

If she encountered an expert of the same level, or a race with particularly strong Mental Strength, this move wouldn’t be very effective.

And…

Lin Fan thought of the mindless Artificial Demons created by the Dragon Clan.

Those things had no cognition to speak of.

She wasn’t sure if her charm and control would be effective on them.

When the time came to return to Blue Star through the Rift, if she couldn’t use her charm and control, she would have to reveal her true form to fight when necessary.

Lin Fan took a deep breath.

It seemed she had to find more Skins with the Nine-tailed celestial fox bloodline as soon as possible to upgrade the incomplete one.

The pure combat power of this current Skin was still a bit lacking.

One day passed.

Relying on Su Rou’s delicate appearance, Lin Fan wandered through the Mist Forest.

Her petite frame, long dark-orange and white hair, and those crystal-clear amber eyes.

She was practically walking bait.

Three hunting parties took the initiative to deliver themselves to her doorstep.

All of them were dealt with by Lin Fan using Mind Control.

She collected over a dozen level-three Crystals and two level-four Crystals.

As evening fell.

The afterglow of the sunset filtered through the leaves, dappling the ground.

Lin Fan, wearing her little white shoes, swayed her fox tail gently.

Just as she was about to find a tree hollow to rest, she suddenly stopped.

A rustling sound came from the bushes ahead.

Rеаⅾ оn ΚаtRеαⅾiոgCаfе

Lin Fan narrowed her eyes.

The next second.

Six figures emerged from the bushes, surrounding her completely.

They were six snake-kin.

The leader was a level-five snake-kin.

It was nearly six meters long in total. Its upper body had the form of a human female with light green skin, while its lower body was a thick snake tail.

Her eyes were vertical pupils, glowing with a faint green light.

She held a scimitar in her hand.

Of the other five snake-kin, four were level-three, and one was level-four.

The snake-kin captain stared at Lin Fan, her vertical pupils constricting slightly.

“A fox-kin?”

Her voice was hoarse, carrying a chilling aura.

Lin Fan stood her ground, her amber eyes calmly watching the snake-kin.

The snake-kin captain licked her lips.

“Little fox, you’ve got some nerve, running so deep into the forest all by yourself.”

She paused.

“But… you are quite a pretty little thing.”

Lin Fan tilted her head.

“What do you want?”

The snake-kin captain grinned.

“If you know what’s good for you, you’ll come with us obediently.”

She raised her scimitar.

“Otherwise… don’t blame your big sister for not showing any mercy to a tender beauty.”

Lin Fan didn’t speak.

She closed her eyes, mobilizing the power of the incomplete Nine-tailed celestial fox bloodline.

A gentle wave of mental energy surged from her body, like countless fine threads, drilling towards the snake-kin captain’s sea of consciousness.

The snake-kin captain’s eyes went vacant for an instant.

But soon, she shook her head violently.

Her vertical pupils refocused.

“A mental-type ability?”

The snake-kin captain sneered.

“Little fox, you’ve picked the wrong opponent.”

She slapped her snake tail on the ground.

“We snake-kin are born with stronger Mental Strength than other races.”

She paused.

“Your little tricks are useless against me.”

Lin Fan opened her eyes.

A grave look flashed in her amber eyes.

As expected.

The snake-kin’s Mental Strength was far stronger than the jackal-kin’s.

Although the opponent was only level-five, her Mental Strength was stronger than that of a typical level-five.

Coupled with the snake-kin’s natural resistance to mental attacks.

Lin Fan’s Mind Control was completely unable to break through the opponent’s sea of consciousness defense.

Seeing Lin Fan’s expression, the snake-kin captain’s smile widened.

“What, out of tricks?”

She licked her lips.

“Then just come with us obediently.”

The other five snake-kin also began to close in.

Lin Fan stood in place, her amber eyes scanning her surroundings.

Six snake-kin.

One level-five, one level-four, and four level-threes.

If she were wearing Long Ningshuang’s Skin, she could easily crush them.

But right now, she was wearing Su Rou’s.

Her hard power was only below the level-five line.

Moreover, Su Rou’s body was not suited for close combat, relying mainly on Mind Control.

And now, Mind Control was ineffective against the level-five snake-kin.

Lin Fan frowned.

It seemed she would have to take off the Skin and deal with them in her true form.

She raised her hand, preparing to place it on the nape of her neck.

Just then.

A black figure descended from the sky, landing steadily in front of Lin Fan.

It was a man.

He was nearly one meter eighty-five tall, with messy black hair. He was bare-chested, revealing his lean, powerful muscles.

His hands had transformed into Dragon Claws.

Lin Fan was stunned.

Long Yan?

Lin Fan immediately used the Nine-tailed celestial fox’s talent to hide her level-five power fluctuations, creating the image of a very weak and delicate individual.

Long Yan turned his head and glanced at Lin Fan.

But he quickly averted his gaze, looking toward the snake-kin captain.

“Scram.”

Long Yan’s voice was cold.

The snake-kin captain stared at Long Yan’s Dragon Claws and Dragon horns, her vertical pupils constricting slightly.

“Dragon Clan?”

Long Yan didn’t reply.

The aura from his body erupted.

The pressure of a level-five Evolved being instantly bore down on the snake-kin captain.

The snake-kin captain’s expression changed.

She hadn’t expected a member of the Dragon Clan to show up out of nowhere.

She glanced at the frail-looking Lin Fan.

“Consider yourself lucky.”

The snake-kin captain snorted coldly, then turned and disappeared into the depths of the forest.

The other five snake-kin also retreated.

Lin Fan stood where she was, looking at Long Yan’s back.

His body was covered in blood and dirt.

Long Yan turned around and looked at Lin Fan.

“Little fox, it’s not safe here. Hurry home.”
