Chapter 434: Chapter 310: Blade Sting Narrow Path, Fierce Insects Everywhere (Part 2)

Translator: 549690339

Blade Sting’s speed was not extremely fast, Chu Mu led his three soul pets in a rampage, advancing about 500 meters, yet surprisingly found that the more than 200 Seventh-rank Blade Stings did not catch up.

It seemed that these insect species’ soul pets valued their territory a lot. When they crawled to a certain boundary, their movement would stop abruptly, and then they would be arranged in heaps at the position of that boundary, watching their enemies from afar, emitting some angry roars while waving their incredibly sharp arm blades in a display of prowess.

Shaking off more than 200 Blade Stings did not mean that Chu Mu entered a safe position, while those Blade Stings not coming after them was not due to Chu Mu’s speed being too fast, but rather due to the fact that in this area, there were even more powerful Blade Stings hiding!

More than 200 seventh level Blade Stings actually did not pose much of a threat to Chu Mu, as their attack power was rarely above the seventh level. Sentinel of Ghost Dome King, the minimum defense of Chu Mu’s soul pets, had reached the mid-stage of the Seventh rank, so as long as they had enough strength, killing those more than 200 Seventh-rank Blade Stings should not be a problem.

However, to Chu Mu’s surprise, after he entered the second half of the narrow path, what he encountered were all Battle General level Blade Stings above Eighth rank!

The combat power of Eighth-rank Blade Sting could be compared with Guaiyan Guardian at Colorful Dome Mountain which Chu Mu encountered previously. Last time Chu Mu faced more than 160 Guaiyan Guardians, while now he faced nearly 200 Eighth-rank Blade Stings, even more than the number of Guaiyan Guardians he had to deal with at Sky Crystal Peak.

“Demon Tree Warrior, you have to go all out now!” Chu Mu’s face grew solemn as he spoke to the Demon Tree Warrior.

“Ooooooooooo!!!” Seeing the increasing number of Eighth-rank Blade Stings crawling toward them, the Demon Tree Warrior also emitted a blood-filled roar, as if it had been waiting for this moment for a long time!

“Chi chi chi chi Chi chi chi chi”

“Chi chi chi chimChi chi chi”

Noisy sounds started ringing in their ears, the bluish-grey carapace of Blade Stings almost covered the entire narrow path. Their movements were not as slow as the Guaiyan Guardians’, their moving speed was very fast, and with so many moving in such a narrow place, they didn’t appear crowded at all, like a well-trained group of biological creatures rushing towards Chu Mu and his soul pets in waves!

“Advanced Demon Wood Roots!”

Each ten of the Demon Tree Warrior’s Advanced Demon Wood Roots turned into a sharp Wood Type weapon, ruthlessly piercing through the Eighth-rank Blade Sting’s body with the power of the green demonic wood. With the strength of Seventh-rank sixth-stage Demon Tree Warrior, each use of the Demon Wood Roots skill could instantly kill two or three early Eighth-rank Blade Stings. If it was a high-rank Eighth-level Blade Sting, the Demon Tree Warrior had to go all out to kill them.

Luckily, the Demon Tree Warriors’ skills did not require the chanting of spells, and the attack frequency was very fast, so eliminating these Blade Stings was much faster than Ice-Feathered Spirit killing Guaiyan Guardians previously.

At that time, Ice-Feathered Spirit had to face about 50 Guaiyan Guardians, and Chu Mu had to stand beside it to protect it from the simultaneous attack of those Guaiyan Guardians, so it could release its powerful skills.

In fact, Wood Element Soul Pets did have an enormous advantage in group battles. The vitality of Wood Element Soul Pets was twice that of ordinary Soul Pets, their defense power was higher than that of ordinary Soul Pets, they had a very fast attack frequency, and their killing speed was not inferior to Ice-Feathered Spirit. Most importantly, if they were thrown into a group of terrifying Soul Pets, there was no need to worry about them being easily killed.

Of course, Chu Mu completely trusted the Demon Tree Warrior. Thanks to the skill Life Siphon, the Demon Tree Warrior could stand unbeaten amidst the besieging Soul Pet groups as long as they had enough strength.

Zhan Ye’s fighting style was similar to before, being passively beaten in the early stage was inevitable. After all, there were dozens of Eighth-rank Blade Stings whose speed and attack power were not weak, and they could break through its sub-Eighth level defense. Especially during the simultaneous release of skills, it posed a certain threat to Zhan Ye.

Zhan Ye had participated in many battles, and Chu Mu trusted it. Or rather, Chu Mu also felt very at ease when they threw Zhan Ye into the Soul Pet group, because Zhan Ye’s biggest nemesis was high-ranking Soul Pets that could instantly kill Zhan Ye by six times the life of ordinary Soul Pets.

Ghost Dome King’s battle clearly needed Chu Mu’s protection, its defense had reached Seventh Level Mid Stage with the strength of Sixth Rank and Third-stage. If the Blade Stings attacked at the same time, or if the Blade Stings at the high stage of Eighth-rank attacked Ghost Dome King, they could cause serious injuries to him. Therefore, Chu Mu was now standing beside Ghost Dome King, adding an Advanced Demon Wood Armor to improve its defense level by one level while skillfully commanding its fight.

“Ooooooooooo!!!!”

As if caught in a killing frenzy, the Demon Tree Warrior roared valiantly amidst the noisy Blade Stings calls. Suddenly, a series of Demonic Wood Thorns burst out from the Demon Tree Warrior’s body!!

The close-quarters killing power of the Demon Tree Warrior was indeed frightening. It was this skill that instantly killed more than a dozen Gluttonous Insect monsters previously!

This time, the Demon Tree Warrior once again demonstrated the dominance of its Wood Element group killing skill, and ten early Eighth-rank Blade Stings died bloodily under this terrifying attack!!

Life Siphon!!!

The Demon Tree Warrior’s demonic wood armor was already full of scars, and even a clear blade mark appeared on its head. This level of injury was not insignificant for many Soul Pets, and would to a certain extent affect their combat power.

However, after the Demon Tree Warrior unleashed its domineering Life Siphon skill, these injuries healed completely as the ten Blade Stings died. Its combat power was instantly full!

“Ohhhh! Ohhhhhhhhhhh!”

The Demon Tree Warrior’s green body was already slightly tinged with red, which was the special effect of the Blood Amber used to enhance it, just like a Bloodthirsty Frenzy!

As the Demon Tree Warrior roared, Chu Mu could distinctly feel a subtle change in his spirit. It was the feeling of a soul being sublimated!

“It’s growing!” Chu Mu had become familiar with this sensation after experiencing it many times. Every time a soul pet grew, he could feel it beforehand.

Sure enough, a green light gradually shone from within the Demon Tree Warrior’s body, and its entire body emitted a jade-like luster. When the light came up, the red halo further highlighted the bloodline of the Demon Tree Warrior’s Wood Type!

“It’s not just growth…” The Fox Elder had a discerning eye and noticed the change in the Demon Tree Warrior.

It was only after Fox Elder’s reminder that Chu Mu suddenly realized that the Advanced Demon Wood on the Demon Tree Warrior had actually changed!!

This Advanced Demon Wood had been with the Demon Tree Warrior for almost half a year. The slightly red and green Advanced Demon Wood had now slowly shed its outer layer, growing the freshest wood!

This new wood was green with a slight red tint due to the Blood Amber effect, and lost the strangeness and oddity of the Demonic Wood Roots, replacing it with a more natural and pure aura.

However, Chu Mu’s experience told him that this transition from strange and ancient to natural and pure did not mean that its attack power had weakened. On the contrary, the natural purity was closer to the absolute Wood Attributes, making it tough, mysterious, and extremely penetrative!

“Blood Tree Crystallization! It finally understands, it has finally understood the Blood Tree Crystallization!!!”

Seeing the change in the Demon Tree Warrior, Chu Mu was visibly excited. He had spent tens of millions of dollars on its enhancement in hopes that it would one day comprehend the Ran Wood Crystallization and become a true Monarch-level Soul Pet.

That day had finally arrived, and the Demon Tree Warrior had diligently comprehended the Ran Wood Crystallization, leaping into the true Monarch level in one fell swoop!

Before those enhancements for the Demon Tree Warrior, its combat power level could barely be considered a quasi-monarch level. This level of combat was only achievable due to the Life Siphon skill; without it, the Demon Tree Warrior would have the combat power on par with a Peak Commander.

Now that the Demon Tree Warrior had understood the Ran Wood, its attack grew stronger. With this Wood-type Armor racial skill, the Demon Tree Warrior’s defense had been directly flipped!

“Ohhhhhhhh! Ohhhhhhhhhhh!”

The aura of growth made the Demon Tree Warrior incredibly excited and eager to throw its regenerated Ran Wood Crystallization into the battle!

Ran Wood Root Piercing!

“Pupupupupupupupu”

More than eighty Ran Wood Roots pierced upward from the ground. Ten separate roots gathered to form a sturdier Wood Thorn, effortlessly penetrating the bodies of the Level 8 early-stage Blade Stings!!

Group instant kill!!

The eight Blade Stings had no chance to escape as they were all pierced by the Demon Tree Warrior’s Root Piercing. Their body fluids flowed out of the gaping wounds and mixed with the narrow path’s bloodstream!

“The attack power of the Advanced Demon Wood was just enough to instantly kill these Level 8 Blade Stings, but after advancing to the Ran Wood realm, the early-stage Blade Stings are undoubtedly doomed. The killing speed has increased exponentially!” Chu Mu, seeing the difference between before and after the Root Piercing skill, exclaimed with surprise.

The supposed small-level upgrade from quasi-monarch to low-level monarch should have been a small difference. However, against these enemies, the gap between the quasi-monarch level and the low-grade monarch level was significantly apparent! (To be continued.
