Chapter 144: Chapter 26: I’m fine, but we have a problem now
Translator: 549690339
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——-“
In the cold night breeze, the black forest swayed, producing a broken, crackling sound.
“Swoosh!!!”
A red flash swooped down, and six ribbon-like tails swept across the forest. After they passed, a strong gust raised the fallen leaves on the ground, scattering them in every direction!
MO Ye’s speed when running at full throttle was much faster than the Night Thunder Dream Beast. Even a fifth rank and sixth stage Storm Hawk, with all its flying ability, could never keep up with MO Ye. The only advantage it had was its ability to take to the skies!
“Incineration!”
MO Ye repeatedly sprayed flames into the air, forming clouds of fire, not giving the Storm Hawk any chance to fly higher!
The Storm Hawk was far weaker than MO Ye. Under the relentless pursuit of such a speedy Soul Pet, how could it escape easily!
“Riding Wind!”
Glancing at the Storm Hawk’s altitude, Chu Mu felt the timing was ripe and immediately recited a spell, applying the Riding Wind effect to MO Ye!
MO Ye was already running like the wind, and with Riding Wind’s empowerment, its hooves barely touched the ground!
Within the forest, the blaze-like MO Ye suddenly leaped upward, landing on the tree crown with ease. Without missing a beat, he pushed off from the tree crown, leaping into the black forest above!
Flame Step!
At its highest point, MO Ye made a slight touch in mid-air, causing a ring of
fire to instantly spread out from the Flame Step’s position before leaping higher into the sky!
Feeling the approaching flames, Yang Jie’s face was full of terror. He never expected to be caught by Chu Mu while running away, let alone that the Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox would possess such terrifying jumping power!
“Phantom Demonic Flame Claw!”
A sinister shadow suddenly appeared, brilliantly weaving through the path the Storm Hawk had just flown. Three striking Evil Flame Claws ruthlessly slashed across both the Storm Hawk and Yang Jie!! !
The Storm Hawk’s skull and tail were torn to shreds, while the Demon Fire Evil
Flame quickly infiltrated its bloodstream and meat chunks, turning the Storm Hawk’s body to ashes from the inside out. Yang Jie’s waist was similarly torn by the Evil Flame Claw, which burned wildly within him!!
“Huff huff! ” The incredibly fast-burning Demon Fire Evil Flame completely consumed Yang Jie and his Soul Pet before they even had a chance to fall, leaving only a handful of black ashes suspended in the raging wind!
Chu Mu smiled and gently rubbed MO Ye’s fuzzy ears. “Well done. You’re allowed to have a snack tonight.”
“Woo, woo, woo-” MO Ye immediately let out an excited howl, as his body naturally began to slide down… “Woo,
Suddenly, MO Ye let out a strange cry.
At the same time, Chu Mu felt his body sharply sinking, followed by a violent gust of wind from below!
“What the hell, why is there a fissure here?!” Chu Mu blurted out, and the next moment, his body began to fall along with MO Ye!!
Evidence of a fault did indeed exist to the east of the Manying City, but there was a fissure between the two sides of the forest. As a result, the eastern route of Manying City was the only road leading to Gangluo City. Even if the Chu Family realized that the Yang Family would use dirty tricks to exploit this supply chain, they would have a hard time changing course.
Chu Mu was clearly not aware of this and was determined to kill Yang Jie. He only discovered he had no place to land after he and MO Ye leaped into the air!
The forest cliff east of Manying City was known as Falling Phoenix Cliff, plunging hundreds of meters down into an untouched primitive forest teeming with strange and dangerous beasts. No power had the ability to claim it as their territory, at least for now.
The wind of midnight blew, causing the towering and treacherous silhouettes of the sheer cliff, illuminated by a cold moon, to loom ever more imposingly. Under the moonlit night and shadovvy cliffs, a brilliant fire image, with a hint of danger and horror, cascaded down, unexpectedly adding a hint of liveliness to the profound celestial curtain and the dark forest.
“Young Master! Young Master!” “Fourth Brother! Fourth Brother!”
“Young Master Chu! Young Master Chu!”
A chorus of calls echoed in the airspace above Manying Forest.
However, the only response was an indignant cry from a nocturnal bird, awakened from its slumber.
“Where on earth did Young Master go?” Ting Yu was anxiously rushing around on her Wind Demon Steed, her little face somewhat pale.
“Could he have been counterattacked by Yang Jie? He shouldn’t have recklessly pursued him near the forest.” The Qin Family servant, Old Teng, said.
“No way, even ten Yang Jies wouldn’t be a match for Young Master!” Ting Yu immediately glared at this servant who never spoke properly.
Ting Yu knew that Chu Mu was the Prison Island King, and after three years of bloody trials, surviving him would never make such a low-level mistake.
“It seems that the Falling Phoenix Cliff is just ahead. Miss Meng’er, you should descend from the sky.” Chu Ning glanced at Qin Meng’er in the air and said to her.
“Falling Phoenix Cliff?” Qin Meng’er showed a puzzled expression.
“Miss, if you go any further, you’ll reach the famous deadly place of Luo region, the ‘Broken Forest’. Most of the soul pets there are extremely fierce, and very few people dare to venture into it. Miss, if you keep flying in the air like this, and your Flame Bird is burning with fire, it’s easy to be mistaken for invading the territory of some powerful soul pets. So, it’s better to put your Flame Bird away, otherwise, it’ll cause trouble for everyone.” Old Teng immediately said to Qin Meng’er.
Upon hearing Old Teng’s words, Qin Meng’er didn’t dare to continue flying in the sky, so she withdrew her soul pet and landed on the ground.
“It seems there are some traces of burning here, left by Young Master’s soul pet…” Ting Yu immediately discovered traces left by MO Ye’s Flame Step on the trees after smelling a burnt scent.
Moving forward, the Wind Demon Steed suddenly halted, and Ting Yu’s body leaned slightly forward. Through the dense tree branches, she suddenly felt a chilly wind blow!!
Ting Yu took a deep breath, staring blankly at the vast forest that had fallen before her!
“Be careful, this is the Falling Phoenix Cliff. You should also tell your Wind Demon Steed to restrain its aura. Some powerful soul pets nest in the Falling Phoenix Cliff too!” Old Teng reminded immediately.
“Young Master! Young Master! Are you down there?!” Ting Yu shouted towards the bottom.
The howling wind blew, and Ting Yu’s cries echoed in the silent Falling Phoenix Cliff, but still, no one answered.
“How can we get down there?” Ting Yu was sure that Chu Mu had fallen unintentionally and immediately asked the others.
“We can’t get down from here. We have to go around to the west side near Gangluo City. There’s a forest there, and we have to slowly go deeper to get close to this place.” Old Teng said.
Chu Ning’s eyebrows were locked tightly all the time. It was so hard to reunite with his fourth brother, but he didn’t expect that his brother would fall into this extremely dangerous Broken Forest!
The group was very sure that Chu Mu had fallen into the Broken Forest. Ting Yu attempted to use the Thorn Rose Demon’s vines as a ladder on the cliff, but the length of the Thorn Rose Demon’s vines was only thirty meters. Besides Qin Meng’er’s Flame Bird, which was a winged soul pet, the others had no other means to get down.
“Let me take the Flame Bird to have a look.” Qin Meng’er said.
“Miss, it’s easy for you to go down with your Flame Bird…” Old Teng was about to start nagging again.
“There’s firelight! It must be Young Master!” Ting Yu immediately called out, pointing to the firelight in the dark forest below.
“I’ll go down and get him up.” Qin Meng’er was not scared and directly leaped up. While falling, she resummoned the Flame Bird…
Qin Meng’er’s slim and enchanting body lightly fell, and a bright red pattern appeared under her feet. The pattern was rendered by the burning flame, and the flame quickly transformed into a winged soul pet.
“Hoo—” Qin Meng’er drove the Flame Bird to start descending.
“Miss! Miss! It’s easy for you to go down, but it’s hard to come back up! Don’t go down!”
The wind howled in her ears, and Qin Meng’er only heard the nagging Old Teng shouting a few more words towards the cliff bottom. Although she didn’t hear him clearly, she didn’t take it seriously and continued to fall.
“Why is this girl still the same, not considering anything…” Chu Ning looked at the flying Qin Meng’er helplessly saying. But that was fine too; at least they could see if Chu Mu was injured.
Below the cliff, Chu Mu sat on the grass, touching his heart, still not recovering from the shock.
On the other hand, MO Ye was even making a whining sound, licking its worn claws with its tongue.
“That was close. It was so high. If there was nothing to cling to, I would have been seriously injured.” Chu Mu said.
MO Ye nodded in agreement.
Chu Mu took a few deep breaths, still feeling terrified. He stood up and looked around, trying to find a way to climb up.
Suddenly, a firelight lit up above his head and slowly approached his location.
“Young Master Chu, are you here?” Qin Meng’er’s soft voice came down.
“I’m here.”
“Are you alright?” Qin Meng’er asked.
“I’m fine, but we are in trouble now.” Chu Mu said with a wry smile, looking at those figures with wings that burst out from the black cliffs…
