“Chi chi chi!!!!!!!!!!”
As the sound of metal friction echoed, causing Chu Mu to feel an extremely shrill feeling. This sound was undeniably the sound wave ability of the nine-stage Star Phoenix Battle Insect, which caused severe damage to people’s spirits.
With the subtle change of space, a scenery gradually unfolded. On the edge of the valley, a nine-stage Star Phoenix Battle Insect waved its sharp arms, slashing down several large trees in a few strikes, causing the leaves to scatter…
Chu Mu did not defeat the nine-stage Star Phoenix Battle Insect. Chu Mu knew that those people would enter the valley’s lake area in a short time. Considering his hard-fought achievements for half a day could be snatched by the other five people, Chu Mu played a clever trick. With the dreamland ability of the Night Thunder Dream Beast, a special illusion space was created on the edge of the valley, making everyone believe that Chu Mu had already raced ahead, killing the two nine-stage commanders and leaving with the monarch-level young pet.
Chu Mu’s plan was also successful; he deceived those five people under the circumstances of insufficient time. Now, Chu Mu could focus on dealing with the remaining nine-stage Star Phoenix Battle Insect.
Chu Mu knew that Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird would probably escape when the battle erupted. Fortunately, the Night Thunder Dream Beast had reached the seventh-rank ninth stage and had strong control over the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird, trapping the young soul pet in the dreamland and allowing Chu Mu to concentrate on dealing with the nine-stage Star Phoenix Battle Insect.
Before the arrival of those five people, Chu Mu had already focused on killing a nine-stage Star Phoenix Battle Insect. Now, with the White Nightmare Demon, Night Thunder Dream Beast, and Ice-feathered Spirit, the remaining Star Phoenix Battle Insect posed little threat to Chu Mu.
The White Nightmare Demon led the battle, the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s dream shattering continuously disrupted the Star Phoenix Battle Insect’s skills, and the Ice-feathered Spirit released long-distance ice crystals. Soon, the last Star Phoenix Battle Insect was taken care of by Chu Mu!
None of the two Star Phoenix Battle Insects had a soul crystal. In fact, Chu Mu’s luck had been quite good, encountering two eighth-level soul crystals. However, the probability of getting a soul crystal had noticeably decreased now, and he had almost not gained a single soul crystal in half a year…
The chance of obtaining a soul crystal was not very high, and it was generally easier to obtain them from wild soul pets that had strengthened their power. However, these soul pets did not make up the majority, so it was not unusual to fail to obtain high-level soul crystals.
After killing the Star Phoenix Battle Insect, Chu Mu began to capture the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird. Under the powerful dreamland compulsion of the Night Thunder Dream Beast, Chu Mu smoothly captured the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird with dreamland deception, making this risky plan a success.
In this battle, besides the Ghost Dome King who still had combat power, the stamina consumption of other soul pets was enormous. After obtaining the Star Phoenix Battle Insect, Chu Mu quickly left the valley and found a safe place to rest.
Facing a situation where the soul pet’s combat power has been completely exhausted is not uncommon in the wild, and it would be the most dangerous time. Therefore, Chu Mu did not act hastily and honestly hid in a cave until his soul power and the stamina of his soul pets had recovered, before riding the Night Thunder Dream Beast to the nearest city – Dun City.
Dun City is not a Boundary City but a very famous city between two Earth Realms. The most prominent feature of this city is that trade from several surrounding realms has to go through this city, making it a special economic hub.
Perhaps the surrounding realms can do without their Boundary cities, but they cannot lose Dun City because it has gradually become a symbol city of these small Earth Realms.
Dun City is located on a vast plain at the junction of four Earth Realms. This plain is a very vast land and the winged and beast soul pets that inhabit it are even more numerous, making it an excellent place for soul pet trainers to practice.
Due to its central location between different regions and Earth Realms, trading convoys on the plain are often visible. In order not to provoke unnecessary soul pet group attacks, merchants from different regions and Earth Realms would also travel along the plain’s routes, traveling through the vast green land.
On the flat, vast roads, the long trading convoys advanced steadily, with various endurance-loaded soul pets carrying the merchants’ traded goods in front of them.
Occasionally, one could see the entourages of highly-positioned nobles passing by, their soul pets all at the commander level. These commander-level soul pets should have been involved in battle, but the display of such a convoy with soul pets at the commander level showed off the nobles’ identities and status.
“Make way, make way!”
The trading convoys on the road came and went, and the nobles’ commander-level entourages were much more domineering. As they drove down the road, the trading convoys that could only hire servant level and warrior level soul pets had to make way for the nobles to pass first.
“Starfield Devil Steeds, ten commander-level Starfield Devil Steeds leading the way. This convoy is quite impressive, I wonder which big shot from Dun City has returned from their outing,” remarked the workers of the trading convoys, who were all standing by the side of the road in astonishment.
They normaly only see servant-level soul pets, so having a warrior-level soul pet as a mount is already quite remarkable for them. Now that they suddenly see a commander-level entourage appear, they are naturally filled with envy and awe.
The Starfield Devil Steeds were low-level commander-level soul pets. At this moment, the speed of the noble convoy on the road was also very fast. Owing to the commander-level aura, they displayed an extremely domineering and wild side on this trade route, causing the surrounding people to sigh in admiration…In the exquisite carriage, a teenage boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old pulled open the window curtain and gazed at the merchant convoy left behind. A smug smile appeared on his face.
He just loved this speed, especially when his own Soul Pet surpassed others!
“My God, what a fast speed!”
“What Soul Pet is that? I can’t even see it clearly!”
Suddenly, many exclamations of surprise sounded around the teenager. At first, he thought these people were admiring him, but soon he realized that their gazes were focused behind him, following the ultra-fast movement of a creature.
The teenager quickly turned his head to look back, wanting to know what kind of Soul Pet could be faster than his Starfield Devil Steed.
However, before he had the chance to look back, a black whirlwind swiftly swept past him. In that fleeting moment, he saw a man dressed in black clothes with a charming, black Soul Pet beneath him.
Smooth, elegant, agile, and charming, this was the Soul Pet that would make any Soul Pet Master pursuing speed swoon!
“Dream Beast, Night Thunder Dream Beast!” The teenager finally recognized what it was, but when he tried to get a closer look, the Night Thunder Dream Beast had already galloped far away!
Compared to the Night Thunder Dream Beast speeding on the road, the teenager’s Starfield Devil Steed convoy looked like it had come to a standstill, surpassing all the galloping Soul Pets on the road!
The flashy person naturally cutting across the highway was none other than Chu Mu. With the advancement of the Night Thunder Dream Beast, the speed of this wandering demon spirit had become more direct. To others, the Night Thunder Dream Beast seemed like a black whirlwind, only visible for a brief moment. When they wanted to focus their gaze, it had already sprinted far away!
After six months of cultivation, Chu Mu was finally entering a more respectable city.
First of all, he had to take a good rest in Dun City, wash away his murderous aura, and then consider how to deal with the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird problem.
Actually, Chu Mu still had room for a Soul Pet now. The broken fourth soul contract with Mo Ye had already been repaired. Chu Mu could completely incorporate a new Soul Pet, and he even planned to find a winged Soul Pet for his next one.
However, the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird was not Chu Mu’s ideal winged Soul Pet. If he formed a soul pact with it, Chu Mu felt a bit uneasy, so he didn’t rush to sign a soul pact with this Low-grade Monarch Soul Pet.
After a while of rest, Chu Mu went directly to the Soul Pet Palace.
On his way to passing the Soul Pet Palace, Chu Mu saw the Soul Hall and suddenly thought that there was also a trading method inside the Soul Hall. If he went to the trading place or Soul Pet Palace, there was still a possibility that someone might scheme to obtain the price difference of this Monarch-level Soul Pet.
After hesitating for a while, Chu Mu entered the Soul Hall. After revealing his identity, he didn’t inform the high-ranking members of the Dun City Soul Hall to greet him, but instead initiated contact with the Soul Hall staff himself.
When the staff member learned that Chu Mu had a Monarch-level young pet, his face showed disbelief. It wasn’t until Chu Mu handed over the Soul Capture Ring for him to probe with his soul sense and look at the trapped Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird inside that the staff member’s eyes widened in amazement!
Monarch-level Soul Pets and Commander-level Soul Pets have essential differences. With creatures like Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird, even at the juvenile stage, their gorgeous appearance and the aura of a Monarch’s breath are very obviously displayed.
The body of the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird is dazzling yellow, covered with star-like azure spots. These speckles are not simple decorations, but form an ancient and mysterious pattern of the Soul Pet Group, which holds the potential of the creature. Many times, simply seeing this pattern is enough to know the potential of the Soul Pet.
The lower half of the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird’s body is butterfly-tailed, similarly colored as the upper body. However, the tail is extremely exaggerated, occupying two-thirds of the two-meter-long body. It showcases the elegance, nobility, and beauty of a Monarch-level Soul Pet to the fullest. The Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird is absolutely beloved by high-ranked female Soul Pet Masters, and its combat power is not inferior to other Low-grade Monarch-level Soul Pets. (To be continued.
