Wu Ka let out a deep, authoritative roar: "Listen up, all of you! According to the Dominator's command, begin screening for suitable creatures! Move quickly, without the slightest slack!"

His voice, like a great bell, traveled far through the air, causing the surrounding Insectoid Kin to immediately become tense and throw themselves into the screening work.

These Insectoid Kin were well-trained and quickly and meticulously screened the captive groups according to Wu Ka's instructions.

They used their keen perception to detect the life strength of each creature.

The reactions of the selected creatures, whose life strength met the standards, varied.

Some roared loudly, attempting to resist.

A Dog-Headed Human of Elder-level, covered in coarse, bristling fur, seemed to be displaying his anger.

He brandished a crude weapon made of bone and roared at the Insectoid Kin: "You monsters, don't even think about controlling us! We Dog-Headed Human will never yield! We would rather die in battle than become your slaves!"

His eyes gleamed with anger, filled with a longing for freedom and hatred for the invaders, each roar carrying an unyielding power.

Unfortunately, he didn't even last a single round against an elite Zhu Yan Demon Insect before a spear pierced his body. The powerful life force prevented this Dog-Headed Human from dying, but he could no longer struggle and was taken away, his face filled with despair.

Seeing this, the remaining high-Rank Dog-Headed Human all knelt down and shouted, "We are willing to be slaves!!" They, too, looked despairing, silently accepting their fate.

A snake-tailed Elder-level individual trembled slightly, his eyes revealing endless sorrow and helplessness.

He knew that he was about to lose his freedom, become someone else's Puppet, and no longer be able to control his own destiny.

He slowly lowered his head, looking at his hands, as if trying to find a glimmer of hope in them, but ultimately could only sigh helplessly. His tail also swayed weakly, as if mourning his impending tragic fate.

These selected creatures were escorted one by one towards the Geocentric Base's dungeon.

Their steps were heavy, as if each step landed on their own hearts.

The surrounding Insectoid Kin, armed with weapons, stared intently at them, their eyes revealing vigilance and coldness, preventing any attempt to escape.

Should these escorted creatures make the slightest movement, the Insectoid Kin would not hesitate to act, imposing severe suppression.

The dungeon was located deep within the Geocentric Base, dark and damp, permeated by a suffocating atmosphere.

The walls were embedded with faintly glowing crystals, whose light was so weak that it barely illuminated the dim space, making the entire dungeon appear even more eerie and terrifying.

The ground was wet, covered with moss and unknown slime, forcing one to walk cautiously.

When the escorted Elder-level and above creatures entered the dungeon, a chill rose from the bottom of their hearts, as if an invisible hand was tightly clutching their hearts.

It's worth noting that after reaching their level of life strength, even the coldest places on Blue Star could not make them feel cold, yet in this narrow dungeon, everyone felt a bone-chilling sensation.

In the corner of the dungeon, there were special containers, and the Mind Control Demon Bug inside them trembled slightly, emitting an eerie light, as if waiting for something.

The bodies of these Demon Insects were semi-transparent, with light seemingly flowing within, and faint, mysterious patterns visible, like ghostly scribbles that caused dizziness if stared at for too long.

The light emitted by the Mind Control Demon Bug flickered erratically in the dim dungeon, like will-o'-the-wisps, sending shivers down one's spine.

These escorted creatures had once held respected positions in their respective races, possessing immense power and prestige.

Now, they looked at these Mind Control Demon Bug, their eyes filled with fear and resistance.

A massive Rock People Elder-level individual, his stony skin trembling slightly, the patterns on his surface seeming to tell of his anger and unease.

He roared furiously: "You outsiders, how dare you treat us like this! We Rock People have guarded this land for generations and will never succumb to your tyranny!" His voice echoed in the empty dungeon, filled with anger and unwillingness, every word seemingly squeezed from between his teeth.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a Brain-Controlling Demon Insect flew out of its container, like a black lightning bolt, rushing towards his head.

The Demon Insect released a powerful Mental Energy, instantly invading his brain. The Rock People Elder-level individual felt a sharp pain in his head, as if countless steel needles were pricking him, or a sharp drill was frantically spinning inside his brain.

He frantically shook his head, trying to shake off this power, but it was all in vain. His body began to tremble uncontrollably, his hands tightly clutched his head, and he let out painful groans.

His eyes were wide open, filled with fear and despair, veins bulged on his forehead, and sweat continuously rolled down his face.

Seeing this, the many other creatures all wanted to riot, but they were firmly locked by the shackles on their bodies, and even more so, they were pressed to the ground by Zhu Yan Demon Insects and Ming Ling Devil Men, unable to move.

Gradually, this Brain-Controlling Demon Insect unbelievably burrowed into the Rock People's head. His eyes became hollow, his formerly angry expression vanished, replaced by a sense of awe towards Zhou Qi.

His consciousness was gradually devoured by the Brain-Controlling Demon Insect, leaving only one thought in his mind: to obey Zhou Qi's commands.

Subsequently, his body no longer struggled but stood there quietly, awaiting the next instruction, like a manipulated Puppet.

Thus, Mind Control Demon Bug flew one by one towards those Elder-level and above creatures who were resisting or fearful.

As each Demon Insect approached its target, it would release a powerful Mental Energy fluctuation, like invisible tentacles, tightly coiling around their consciousness.

These Elder-level individuals struggled in pain, attempting to resist, but their will was as insignificant as an ant trying to shake a tree in the face of the Mind Control Demon Bug' powerful Mental Energy.

Even races with strong Mental Energy would be violently elbowed by the Zhu Yan Demon Insects, causing their consciousness to scatter.

Their bodies gradually lost control, their eyes became dull, their original self-awareness was erased little by little, and finally, they could only gradually lose themselves in pain, becoming Zhou Qi's loyal servants.

The dungeon echoed with their painful cries and groans, like a sorrowful symphony, telling of their tragic fate.

These sounds lingered in the dark dungeon, sending chills down one's spine.
