465: Strengthen your subordinates
Half an hour later, the Other World Beasts that managed to escape had completely vanished.
Around them, there were still millions of Dragonhawks, Chasing Wind Eagles, and a small number of Bloodthirsty Bats.
Qin Shilei had also left behind fifteen Platinum Realm Other World Beasts, all of which were taken as pets by his subordinates.
Standing on the back of the Golden Winged Thunder Roc, he looked around at the devastated landscape.
Mountains had collapsed, the earth was cracked, and giant trees lay toppled everywhere.
"I never imagined that the Mountain and Rivers Map merging with the Mountain Spirit would cause so much destruction!"
Zhang Xiaoli said with a surprised expression, a hint of distress flashing in her eyes.
Qin Shilei said expressionlessly, "Extracting the Earth Vein Spirit here probably caused more than just the surface destruction. The plants that miraculously survived seem to have all withered."
"Alright, this isn't Blue Star after all, so let's not worry too much. Let's first look at the changes in the Mountain and Rivers Map."
Zhang Xiaoli cast aside the trace of sadness in her heart and took out the Mountain and Rivers Map.
There was only one change in its attribute display.
Mountain and Rivers Map. Pseudo. The character 'Pseudo' was slightly fainter than the other three characters.
The space within the Mountain and Rivers Map had also expanded threefold, now with a depth of thirty kilometers.
It could now also display the mountains and rivers on Amelia's side, and its display range had increased threefold.
After observing the changes in the Mountain and Rivers Map, Qin Shilei temporarily put it away.
"Let's find a place to rest first, and let them take these Other World Beasts as pets."
"Okay!" Everyone responded in unison.
Even with the assistance of the Dragonhawk Emperor and other pets, a few individual Other World Beasts would occasionally sneak away.
"Oh dear, how could I forget about the space within the Mountain and Rivers Map."
Qin Shilei regretfully patted his forehead.
Many weak survivors still lived in his Blessed Land, and bringing all these Other World Beasts in might cause unforeseen incidents.
However, the Mountain and Rivers Map was empty, making it perfect for temporarily housing these Other World Beasts.
He opened the entrance to the Mountain and Rivers Map, and under the command of the Dragonhawk Emperor, numerous Dragonhawks flew inside in an orderly line.
Next were the Chasing Wind Eagles, and finally, the Bloodthirsty Bats.
Just as Qin Shilei was about to bring the remaining Thunder Eagles, Sky-Obscuring Larks, Golden Feathered Vultures, and other flying beasts into the Mountain and Rivers Map, he was suddenly stopped by An Qian.
"Shi Lei, I think it's better not to put the remaining flying beasts into the Mountain and Rivers Map. Their numbers are too small, and they might very well be eaten by the Dragonhawks and Chasing Wind Eagles."
Qin Shilei realized she was right, so he put away the Mountain and Rivers Map and had Lu Tian罡 and the others command their pets to control this group of flying beasts and fly forward.
They flew nearly five hundred kilometers before the destruction caused by the Mountain and Rivers Map merging with the Mountain Spirit finally disappeared.
Everyone found a gentle valley to rest in.
Various vegetables, meats, cooking utensils, and tableware were taken out of the Blessed Land by Qin Shilei.
Dozens of chefs also emerged from the Blessed Land and began preparing dinner for Qin Shilei and their group of over five hundred people.
Dozens of waiters also started setting up tables and chairs.
Mary looked at this scene and couldn't help but show a shocked expression.
"Your Highness Qin An King, are your three meals a day always so extravagant?"
"Extravagant?"
Qin Shilei looked up and scanned the busy crowd, shaking his head, "No, not at all. The meat is what we hunted, and the vegetables and rice are grown in my space. Should we throw them away if we don't eat them?
As for these staff members, I think they are very happy to serve us."
An Qian chimed in, "I doubt your dining standards, Your Majesty, are any lower than ours, are they?"
Mary replied, "When I'm in the palace, my meals are indeed quite lavish. But it's impossible to achieve this level in the wild. Not to mention, having a picnic like a banquet, as you do."
"Your Highness Qin An King, just how big is that space of yours, and how many things are hidden inside?"
Although she had the ability to open a passage to this Other World, she also greatly envied Qin Shilei's completely personal space.
"It's not big, not big at all, only three hundred kilometers in circumference."
Qin Shilei put on a modest act with a smile.
Mary once again showed a hint of surprise, "No wonder you didn't try to seize the Boundary-Breaking Monument when you knew I could open a passage to this Other World."
"Hehe." Qin Shilei chuckled, "Cooperation leads to a win-win, how can one always snatch other people's things?"
While everyone chatted, the food was ready.
With numerous pets serving as guards, everyone enjoyed a hearty dinner with peace of mind.
Then, everyone began to choose pets for contracting.
Mary's mental power had mostly recovered, allowing her to provide illusory contract grimoires for everyone.
If it wasn't for cross-tier contracting of pets, an illusory contract grimoire could be reused by dozens of people.
For people like Zhang Qiang, with Golden Realm cultivation, forcibly contracting Platinum Realm pets would completely deplete the energy in the illusory contract grimoire in a single use.
For close individuals like Xia Yunyan and members of the Night, Qin Shilei intended to have all of them cross-tier contract Platinum Realm Other World Beasts.
They rested here for three full days.
All one hundred thousand troops from Qin Shilei's Blessed Land now possessed a flying Other World Beast as a pet.
Mary stretched, saying with a displeased expression, "I need a good long sleep. If this continues, I'll definitely age prematurely."
In these three days, she had slept less than eight hours, making her the most exhausted among them.
She was so tired of drinking mental potions that she almost vomited.
Qin Shilei smiled apologetically, "I'm truly sorry to trouble Your Majesty. How about you rest in my space? I've set up a Spirit Gathering Array inside, which not only aids cultivation but also helps people recover their physical functions more easily."
"Hmph!" Mary rolled her eyes at Qin Shilei, "I'm starting to regret allying with you. You're simply a detestable capitalist, constantly exploiting me."
Qin Shilei suggested, "If you trust me, you can also temporarily lend us the contract grimoire. That way, you won't have to work so hard."
Mary looked directly at Qin Shilei for a long while before speaking, "Then would you be willing to lend me your Mountain and Rivers Map to use?"
Qin Shilei was stunned for a moment, then said tactfully, "I need the Mountain and Rivers Map for my travels on Blue Star, so I can't lend it to you for now.
However, this tus staff and Mirror of Reflection can be temporarily given to you for use."
With that, he handed the two orange-grade items to her.
Mary was also taken aback, then smiled brightly, "Good, one item for two. I'm not at a loss. I'll borrow it from you."
After saying that, she put away tus staff and the Mirror of Reflection, and then handed the contract grimoire to Qin Shilei.
"Open your space. I'm going in to rest."
"Or do you want to rest with me?"
Qin Shilei glanced nervously at An Qian and the others in the distance, giving a dry laugh, "You should first open the spatial passage here. I need to go back and bring my other batch of subordinates over."
After leaving Amelia, he found another large mountain nearby, dug a cave, and set up a teleportation array inside.
Using the teleportation array, he returned to Great Xia, then went to the expeditionary army and brought all two million expeditionary troops into the Blessed Land.
