"The only people with ice talents stronger than this [Ice Spirit] are probably the Ice Phoenix Girl and the other ice-type talents…"
Wang Feng didn't show his surprise. He quickly refocused on the task at hand.
He mobilized his mental power to completely eliminate the Bewitching Spider's demonic influence on Mu Ningxue.
Mu Ningxue felt relief wash over her. Her previously irritable mood calmed immediately.
"Thank you," she said softly.
At that moment, Moon ran back from outside, dragging the corpse of a massive Bewitching Spider in his jaws.
The spider's head was as large as half a room, its face covered in dozens of eyes scattered across twisted flesh, resembling a grotesque, horrifying mask.
"Ah~"
Moon dropped the corpse in front of Wang Feng, stuck out his tongue, and looked at him expectantly, as if waiting for praise.
"Well done!" Wang Feng smiled and reached out to pat Moon's lowered head.
He then called Moon back to the dimensional plane to rest.
"What are you standing there for? Quickly clear the rest area and complete the remaining survey points tomorrow morning. Then we can head back!" Wang Feng shouted at everyone.
"Yes, sir!"
The students of the two academies returned to their senses after the terrifying encounter with the Bewitching Spider and began cleaning the church.
Wang Feng took out a special dagger for decomposing demon corpses and began carefully dividing the spider's body.
The most valuable parts were the spider silk, venom sacs, and eyes—materials with inherent bewitching abilities and classified as rare spiritual-level resources.
While separating them, Wang Feng contemplated their potential uses.
Soon, an idea struck him. "These spider silks and eyes can be used to make silk stocking magic tools with bewitching powers for Xinxia and Jiaojiao…"
A faint smirk appeared on his face at the thought.
…
Night fell.
Lu Zhenghe sat alone on a massive rock hundreds of meters from the church, anxious.
"Brother, why haven't you come yet?" he murmured, frustration and jealousy in his tone.
He glanced repeatedly toward the church. Every flicker of Mu Ningxue's gaze toward Wang Feng made his chest burn with unbearable pain.
"Wang Feng… I will make you pay!" Lu Zhenghe growled, clenching his fists so tightly his nails dug into his palms.
A teasing voice sounded from behind: "Your brother should still be on the way, but you won't have to wait for him."
Lu Zhenghe jumped in shock and turned around. Seeing Wang Feng's sneering face, his own paled instantly.
"You… what are you talking about?" he stammered.
Wang Feng crossed his arms, jokingly: "Don't admit it? No matter. I never expected you to."
Lu Zhenghe's heart raced, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He instinctively took a step back. "You… what do you want to do?"
"Nothing," Wang Feng said, sneering. "Just helping me test my new skills."
Before Lu Zhenghe could react further, Wang Feng's eyes darkened like an abyss swallowing all light.
"Cursed Mist!"
Lu Zhenghe's vision went black. A strange black mist enveloped him, and his soul felt like it was being torn apart by invisible hands. The intense pain almost made him collapse.
He tried to scream, but his throat was blocked, and no sound emerged. His body trembled uncontrollably, pupils dilating.
After about three minutes, the black fog dissipated.
Lu Zhenghe knelt on the ground, dazed. Saliva trickled from his mouth, and his body seemed empty—an empty shell of his former self.
"Even devouring a useless soul is slow. I should practice the curse system properly in the Three-Step Pagoda," Wang Feng murmured.
He approached Lu Zhenghe, placed a hand on his crown, and whispered: "Puppet."
A wisp of mental power floated from Wang Feng's eyebrows and entered Lu Zhenghe's mind. Immediately, Wang Feng shared Lu Zhenghe's vision and could control his body, even casting spells.
"Interesting… just like controlling a VR character," Wang Feng murmured.
Casting magic through Lu Zhenghe's body felt clumsy, as if there were a network delay. Even a basic spell took several seconds.
"Although there's some delay, it works," Wang Feng nodded. He calculated that his current mental power was sufficient to control Lu Zhenghe for several days.
Then he guided Lu Zhenghe back to the church.
…
The next morning.
After a night of rest, everyone's energy and magic power had returned to peak levels.
Under Wang Feng's leadership, they quickly completed the remaining survey points and returned along the same route.
Along the abandoned railway, the journey was filled with laughter and joy.
Mu Nujiao and Mu Ningxue walked side by side, deep in conversation, completely forgetting Wang Feng's presence.
Suddenly, a group of people appeared ahead.
They wore uniforms similar to military magicians, but lacked badges or unit identification marks.
"Old Wang, something's not right," Mo Fan whispered to Wang Feng, sensing danger.
"I can see that," Wang Feng nodded.
At this moment, Lu Zhenghe, still under Wang Feng's control, shouted joyfully at the group:
"Brother, you're finally here!"
The response was a cold, devilish whisper:
"Except for my brother Lu Zhenghe and Wang Feng, no one else will survive!"
Lu Zhenghe's expression changed. "Wait! Brother, did you make a mistake? Mu Ningxue and the others…"
"Idiot! Come here quickly!" Lu Nian's voice rang sternly.
Lu Zhenghe tried to run toward Lu Nian but was firmly restrained by Wang Feng's telekinesis.
"Brother, save me, Brother!"
Lu Nian's face darkened. How could his younger brother be so foolish? What if he suddenly didn't want to save him?
