Forest Lake could be described as a small ecosystem where many Soul Pets often reside. Many Soul Pets would come here to drink water at certain times, including several Commander-level Soul Pets.
Evening should be the time when the most Soul Pets appear around the lake. When Chu Mu and Qin Meng’er approached Forest Lake, they could see dozens of Soul Pets drinking water by the lakeside.
There was a wide variety of Soul Pets, some of which Chu Mu didn’t even recognize. Qin Meng’er’s beautiful eyes sparkled when she saw so many Soul Pets, and she seemed eager to capture one as her new companion.
“Water Moon, Silver Gown Demon, Cloud Piercing One-horned Beast, Seven-colored Battle Deer, Demon Spirit Butterfly… Ah, there’s a Mo Ye too…”
Qin Meng’er stretched out her little finger and secretly counted the Soul Pets by the lakeside. When she discovered the Commander-level MO Ye, she immediately revealed a surprised expression.
MO Ye: Demon Beast World – Beast Type (Insect Type) – Armored Beast Clan MO Ye Subspecies – Intermediate Commander Level
MO Ye is a Soul Pet with an ink-black body. Its physique inherited the Beast Attribute bloodline, having a powerful body like a wolf, tiger, leopard, or lion, strong and powerful limbs, and a domineering skull, always giving an imposing impression.
What sets MO Ye apart from most Beast Attribute Soul Pets is that it doesn’t have fluffy fur. MO Ye’s skin has inherited the Insect Attribute bloodline, covered in angular armor pieces.
MO Ye’s characteristic is somewhat similar to the Bright 1–lorned Beast, but the Bright Horned Beast’s armor isn’t as delicate and smooth as MO Ye’s.
In fact, both MO Ye and the Bright Horned Beast evolved from the large Horned Armored Beast race. The Bright Horned Beast gives a majestic impression, while MO Ye adds a touch of darkness to its mightiness.
Horned Armored Beasts are the emblematic Soul Pets of the Chu Family, and the Great Chu Noble Family of Wogu Domain is well-known for their Horned Armored Beasts.
Chu Mu had been exposed to these Soul Pets since early on, and almost everyone in his family had an excellent Armored Beast or Horned Beast.
In choosing Commander-level Armored Beasts and Horned Beasts, the experts of the Chu Family generally chose between the Bright Horned Beast and MO Ye. Chu Mu himself preferred the MO Ye, which possessed a touch of darkness, perhaps influenced by his father’s powerful MO Ye.
“Young Master Chu, look, there’s a MO Ye there. It seems to be quite young,” said Qin Meng’er excitedly, pointing at a small MO Ye about one meter tall by the riverside.
“Yeah, I see it. The ink armor on its body is slightly gray, and the proportion of its tail and body length is somewhat uncoordinated. It has already reached the third rank, but its size is similar to a second-rank MO Ye. It seems that it didn’t receive proper nourishment after birth, causing it to be much weaker than regular MO Ye following its growth and metamorphosis.” Chu Mu said.
“Young Master Chu, you seem to know a lot about MO Ye?” Qin Meng’er said.
“It seems so. This MO Ye is at the third rank and third stage, looking like it just left its parents to live independently. But it’s so weak that it’s not much different from a second-rank Little MO Ye, making it hard to survive,” Chu Mu said.
Encountering a young Commander-level soul pet without a guardian should be considered very lucky. However, Chu Mu was not interested in such low-quality soul pets, and he was even too lazy to catch them because their value would not exceed 1,000 gold coins, which is even lower than some high-aptitude Warrior-level soul pets.
Chu Mu’s attention was not on the MO Ye but on this forest lake, using his soul sense to detect the spirit item.
Chu Mu quickly sensed the location of the spirit item radiating with a unique aura. Looking at it, it turned out to be a solitary Sky Demon Orchid in the middle of the lake!
Sky Demon Orchid, a sixth-level spirit item, dwells in deep water, emerging from the water to receive sunlight and air for only three days a year.
The Sky Demon Orchid is the ideal food for Demon Spirits. Its effects are even better than those of sixth-level Demon Spirit Soul Crystals, increasing the growth speed of the Demon Spirits and lasting for an extended period.
In the books, besides the Sky Demon Orchid, there is another sixth-level medicinal herb called Demon Tears, which is the dew condensed on a leaf after countless filtrations and coincidences in a Demon Spirit Tree.
When mixed with Sky Demon Orchid, these Demon Tears can be used to concoct a sixth-level Sky Demon Tears potion.
Sky Demon Tears, an extremely valuable medicine. If fed to a Demon Spirit Attribute soul pet, it can instantly double their growth speed for a prolonged duration, making it the ultimate sacred medicine for upgrading Demon Spirit-type soul pets!
Up until now, the Night Thunder Dream Beast was still at the fifth stage and fifth rank. After taking the sixth-level triple attribute soul crystals, its mental attributes had significantly improved, but its combat prowess had not increased much.
The Demon Spirit’s mental skills heavily rely on stages. If the Night Thunder Dream Beast still remains at the fifth stage and fifth rank, it would be challenging to deal with some sixth-rank Commander-level soul pets. So it’s essential to quickly improve the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s strength.
The Sky Demon Orchid in front of him is the best spirit item for power improvement. In Gangluo City, he could buy a drop of Demon Tears for around 50,000 gold coins. After finding an alchemist to mix them, the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s growth speed would double for a certain period!
On the market, the price of the Sky Demon Orchid is nearly 200,000 gold coins, even more expensive than a sixth-level soul crystal. If you want to buy Sky Demon Tears concocted with various potions directly, it might cost 300,000 gold coins. Not anyone can afford it easily. The appearance of a Sky Demon Orchid in this lake really saves Chu Mu 200,000 gold coins!
Chu Mu knew that the reason this sixth-level spirit item remained in the lake without being picked by soul pets was that it either had a companion soul pet, or there was a powerful soul pet guarding it, waiting to pick the Sky Demon Orchid after it matured.
There were still many soul pets by the lake at dusk. Chu Mu and Qin Meng’er waited until the sun retracted all its remaining light before they started to act.
For water battles, naturally, the Ice-Feathered Spirit would be the one to fight. Chu Mu immediately summoned the Ice-Feathered Spirit.
“Ling—-
As the Ice-Feathered Spirit appeared, the icy aura quickly spread around, inadvertently freezing the lake water nearby, solidifying into a layer of ice.
“Ning, collect the Sky Demon Orchid, but be careful of the soul pet underwater,” Chu Mu said to the Ice-Feathered Spirit.
“Ling- ” The Ice -Feathered Spirit let out a crisp cry and gently floated into the water.
As the Ice-Feathered Spirit floated by, the lake water instantly turned white, gradually solidifying into ice on the surface. Chu Mu could walk directly on the ice towards the center of the lake.
However, Chu Mu didn’t follow, as he had no water-type soul pets, and the Ice-Feathered Spirit had a hard time manipulating water. It was very dangerous to go there.
“MO Ye, drive the other soul pets in the surrounding area away and don’t let them get close to us,” Chu Mu said to MO Ye on his shoulder.
MO Ye nodded and immediately jumped off Chu Mu’s body, using its demon qi to drive away the surrounding soul pets.
“Hualala!
As soon as Chu Mu’s words fell, the lake water suddenly exploded with a huge splash of water!
Amidst the water waves, three snake-like heads emerged from the lake, immediately blocking the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s path. The ferocious heads swayed in the splashing water, giving a horrifying feeling!
“It’s a War General-level Abyss Water Monster!” Qin Meng’er backed subconsciously and focused on the three-headed creature that had emerged from the lake.
The Abyss Water Monster gains a head every two ranks – three heads means it’s at Level 6!
Chu Mu looked at the three long-necked heads, a smile on his face, evidently not considering this Level 6, 4th Stage Abyss Water Monster to be a difficult opponent.
“Ling!
The Ice-Feathered Spirit was very combative at the moment. Seeing the Abyss Water Demon showing off in front of it, it let out a roar and immediately began chanting ice-element spells!
The three heads of the Abyss Water Demon immediately locked onto the Ice-Feathered Spirit, and all six eyes radiated a deep blue light. The lake’s surface started to become restless!
In the lake water, nine swift whirlpools suddenly surged up like mad snakes. They danced fiercely, striking the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s body with force!
“Ling!
The Ice-Feathered Spirit let out a scream, its crystal-clear, white body releasing a ring of icy frost. The cold ring spread quickly, turning the nine water whips into ice sticks. As they danced, they all shattered into ice slag around the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s body.
“Shall I help you?” Qin Meng’er also began chanting a spell, wanting to summon her own water-type soul pet to join the battle.
“No need,” Chu Mu shook his head.
When encountering wild soul pets in battle, Chu Mu would usually summon only one soul pet to fight. It is single combat that allows soul pets to learn more and grow faster.
Qin Meng’er pouted her lips, feeling bored. Since entering Broken Forest, she hadn’t summoned her soul pet, feeling like she was an extra burden.
Qin Meng’er had seen the power of Chu Mu’s Ice-Feathered Spirit. As the Abyss Water Monster and Ice-Feathered Spirit were vying for supremacy with each other, she realized that it was only a matter of time before the Ice-Feathered Spirit defeated the Water Beast.
Her eyes naturally fell on Chu Mu’s adorable Little MO Ye, which could make any girl’s heart melt, and thought about embracing the delicate beauty, the little fellow.
Little MO Ye remained in Chu Lian’s state, his fluffy hair blowing in the wind as he stood on the grass near the lake, his gaze fixed on the extremely weak Muye.
“I wonder if this Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox is more powerful than the Ice-Feathered Spirit.” Qin Meng’er watched MO Ye and began to wonder.
“Huh, why hasn’t Little MO run away yet? All the other soul pets have fled.” Qin
Meng’er noticed that the frail MO Ye was still nearby, and it was confronting Chu Mu’s much stronger Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox in its Chu Lian state.
Little Muye had several injuries on its body, its frail appearance gave the impression that it could be blown away by a gust of wind.
But what puzzled Qin Meng’er the most was that this little fellow wouldn’t flee like other soul pets. Instead, it stubbornly stood there, facing the much more powerful Chu Lian form of the Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox alone!
