Chapter 156: Chapter 38: Territory Crisis (Part 1)
Translator: 549690339
Within three months, Chu Mu’s primary goal was to enhance the strengths of the Night Thunder Dream Beast, the Demon Tree Warrior, and MO Ye. With this, Chu Mu would have enough capital to not worry too much about facing experts outside the younger generation.
Of course, one of the best ways to enhance strength quickly is to spend a lot of money and buy Soul Crystals for one’s Soul Pets to train with.
Chu Mu was still keeping the Soul Crystal of the Demon Tree Warrior, planning to let it train when it reached the fifth rank eighth stage.
And the Night Thunder Dream Beast had already gone through training and would find it difficult to absorb the power of Soul Crystals in the short term. However, Chu Mu possessed the Sky Demon Orchid. As long as he spent fifty thousand gold coins to purchase Demon Tears, and another fifty thousand gold coins to let an apothecary concoct Sky Demon Tears for him to give the Night Thunder Dream Beast, it should not be a problem to enhance it to the sixth rank in three months.
As for Little MO Ye, Chu Mu felt it was necessary to spend a lot of money on it, buying a pile of excellent soul cores, soul crystals, and spirit items to strengthen its beast attributes and enhance its combat power.
The first thing to buy naturally would be a Level-6 dual attribute soul crystal with both Beast and Insect attributes, focusing mainly on the beast attribute to make up for the deficiency in the little creature’s beast bloodline first.
Chu Mu’s ring held an excellent bloodline Little MO Ye, the value of which was close to one million gold coins. Chu Mu was in need of funds at this time, so he planned to entrust Little MO Ye to the Soul Pet Palace anonymously and have the person with the highest bid gain it in exchange for sufficient funds.
Chu Mu was quite familiar with Gangluo City and easily found the Soul Pet Palace. To his surprise, upon arrival at Nightmare Demon Palace, he saw Ting Yu retrieving the Wind Demon Array and was apparently going somewhere.
“Young Master Chu…” Seeing Chu Mu, Ting Yu’s face immediately burst into a smile.
Just now, Ting Yu had received news from her subordinates that Chu Mu had returned to the Chu Family, and she was planning to visit him, but he had already appeared.
“Nightmare Demon Young Master!” The two black-clothed men behind Ting Yu immediately half-kneeled and saluted Chu Mu.
Chu Mu nodded his head and said to Ting Yu, “Well, you’re here, I got an excellent MO Ye, help me put it in the auction and help me buy a level 6 beast, insect soul crystal with the money from the auction. Then buy Demon Tears, let the apothecary concoct Sky Demon Tears, and see if there are any spirit items that can make up for the deficiency of the beast attribute…”
“Young Master…” Ting Yu looked unhappy, just seeing each other, Chu Mu already had her do so many trivial things, leaving her no chance to show concern about Chu Mu falling into the Broken Forest.
“Didn’t you also lack a Soul Pet? I’m going to hunt for Soul Pets this time, and if I see a suitable one, I’ll catch it for you,” Chu Mu said.
With a reward, Ting Yu naturally smiled happily and said, “Young Master, I just heard that there seems to be a Demon Tree Heart in the trading place of Gangluo City, which is perfect for your Demon Tree Warrior.”
“Oh?” Chu Mu raised his eyebrows.
Chu Mu’s Demon Tree Warrior was also a highly talented Soul Pet, and it barely compared to low-level Commander Soul Pets.
But this was far from enough for Chu Mu. The Demon Tree Heart was exactly the kind of spirit item that could greatly enhance the wood attributes of Wood Element Soul Pets. If it were to be used by the Demon Tree Warrior, its Wood Element control ability would definitely become stronger, making it unbeatable even against Commanders at the same stage!
“Isn’t the price high?” Chu Mu asked.
“Yeah, the starting price is already five hundred thousand gold coins,” Ting Yu said.
Chu Mu sighed and shook his head, it seemed that funding was still insufficient. He wanted to have some extra money to add some extravagant soul armor for his Soul Pets, but it seemed highly improbable now.
Now Chu Mu had to feed five Soul Pets, and the 150,000 gold coins’ worth of Soul Cores he had bought last time in Nightmare Demon City had all been eaten by his big appetite Soul Pets in just over a month. Now he needed at least 200,000 gold coins to buy food for his Soul Pets for one month.
To complete the Sky Demon Tears, he probably needed 100,000 gold coins. The starting price for the Heart of the Demon Tree is 500,000, and it’s impossible to lock it down without at least , as it’s a spirit item that greatly enhances the wood attribute abilities.
And the Six-Level Soul Crystal for Xiao MO Ye also needed at least 200,000 gold coins.
In other words, even if an excellent MO Ye sold for 1,000,000 gold coins, Chu Mu still had to earn another 500,000 gold coins…
“You two follow her and protect her safety,” said Chu Mu to the two Nightmare Demon servants who had a fifth-level title in the Nightmare Demon Palace.
The abilities of the two demon servants were not inferior to Yang family’s Yang Jie. Chu Mu didn’t need them to protect him, while Ting Yu, who was about to become a prominent figure in Gangluo City on his behalf, naturally needed
protection. After all, she was easily able to sell the excellent Xiao MO Ye on Chu Mu’s behalf and attract envy from others.
“Yes!” The two demon servants immediately saluted and continued to follow Ting Yu.
After leaving the Soul Pet Palace, Chu Mu returned to the family and deliberately borrowed a Soul Capture Ring with a large enough capacity from his family’s head, Chu Ming, intending to solve his severe financial shortage this time.
Chu Mu remembered that the Chu family’s territory should be in the Luo Ye
Ridge, and the Broken Forest would be to the east of the Luo Ye Ridge. The Broken Forest was fraught with danger, but the Soul Pet resources were indeed abundant.
Chu Mu planned to use the opportunity to help his younger sister find a suitable Soul Pet while visiting the Broken Forest to train Xiao MO Ye and solve his financial crisis!
“Brother, Brother Chu Mu…”
As soon as his younger sister Chu Yishui saw the handsome and dashing Chu Mu, she immediately broke into a lovely smile and called Chu Mu affectionately.
“Yishui, you’ve grown into a lovely beauty over the years.” Chu Mu smiled and touched his little sister’s cheek.
Back when Chu Mu couldn’t summon Soul Pets, he was practically the most idle person in the family. Chu Yishui’s parents were not within the clan, so this young girl would often seek out the only family member who would play with her – Chu Mu – and the two had a good relationship.
“Yeah, yesterday Yishui wanted to talk to Brother too, but so many people were around you that I couldn’t get a word in. By the way, Brother, you’re getting more and more handsome. Yishui almost couldn’t recognize you.” Chu Yishui was young and didn’t think much, so she quickly became close to Chu Mu.
Although Chu Mu took Chu Yishui to their territory, considering Chu Mu’s safety, Chu Ming still specially sent the leader of the Chu Family Guard, Chu Si, to follow the two, to prevent the tragedy that occurred four years ago from happening again.
Chu Si’s Soul Pet is the Bright Horned Beast, which has reached the Sixth Rank, Third-stage and has a strong battle power. As for Chu Mu, he naturally rode the Night Thunder Dream Beast, and to Chu Sits embarrassment, during a full-speed sprint, the Sixth-Rank Bright Horned Beast was no match for Chu Mu’s Night Thunder Dream Beast.
“Young Master Chu Mu, in my opinion, you don’t need my protection at all, right?” Chu Si was a man of great perceptiveness and knew that Chu Mu’s strength was not as simple as it appeared.
Back in the Broken Forest, Chu Si remembered that the leader of the wolf pack had died mysteriously, causing the pack to be disordered. It was natural for Chu Mu’s Soul Pet to kill the leader of the wolf pack, so Chu Si was convinced that Chu Mu must have another Soul Pet that’s much stronger than the Night Thunder Dream Beast.
“True, Uncle Chu Si can go and mind his own business. There’s no need to come with me.” Chu Mu smiled and said.
“The Family Head is very sensitive about Young Master’s safety now, so it’s better to follow. Once I send Young Master and Young Miss to the territory, I’ll go back, and then the Chu Family Guards in the territory will send you back,” said Chu Si seriously.
Luo Ye Ridge wasn’t too far away. Setting off in the morning, they would probably arrive around noon. Some members of the Chu Family were stationed in Luo Ye Ridge, guarding against outsiders hunting for Soul Pets in their territory.
Below Luo Ye Ridge was a simple courtyard used to provide accommodation for Chu Family members who either guarded the territory or temporarily hunted for Soul Pets.Upon entering the courtyard at the foothills of Luo Ye Ridge, Chu Mu and Chu Yishui had completed their escort, and returned to the Clan.
Chu Yishui, excited about the journey, couldn’t wait to hunt Soul Pets after lunch. Chu Mu guided the Night Thunder Dream Beast through Luo Ye Ridge, and soon they left the other clan members’ Soul Pets far behind.
As a result, the anxious voices of the clan members could be heard echoing all over the mountains: “Young MasterMiss• Where are you
“I didn’t expect you to be a Four Thoughts Soul Master already, able to have a fifth Soul Pet, huh?” Chu Mu was somewhat surprised after learning about Yishui’s progress.
“Of course,” Chu Yishui demonstrated a little proud attitude.
“What kind of Soul Pet do you want? The resources of the Soul Pets in this territory seem a bit far-fetched. I’ll try my best to pick the best one for you,” Chu Mu glanced around and found that there were indeed many Soul Pets here, but they were all of average quality. Perhaps Chu Mu was indeed too demanding.
“Brother, I want an Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox…” Chu Yishui excitedly said.
“…” Chu Mu was speechless.
Helping Chu Yishui find an Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox was, of course, impossible. Even seeing a regular Six-Tailed Demon Fox would already be considered very lucky.
“It’s a Demon Spirit Butterfly, I want this one…” Chu Yishui wanted nearly every cute Soul Pet she saw, and this afternoon she had said this sentence no less than twenty times.
“Demon Spirit Butterfly, High -Level War Marshal, Wind Attribute, Agile Soul Pet, Third Rank, Fourth Stage, excellent growth.” Chu Mu immediately judged the potential of a Demon Spirit Butterfly perched on a Long-Leaf Tree.
Demon Spirit Butterflies were quite popular among women. With their elegant and beautiful appearance, they also possessed powerful Wind Element control capabilities. Their evasion ability and agility often irritated many Soul Pets, only to be worn down by the ubiquitous Wind Element skills and defeated in the end.
Chu Mu didn’t bother calling out his previous four commanders to deal with this type of Soul Pet.
Chu Mu let MO Ye return to the Soul Pet Space to rest, began chanting spells, and opened the soul contract with MO Ye.
The black patterns slowly emerged under the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s feet. The stubborn little MO Ye wearing black ink-colored armor appeared gradually, calmly standing inside the black halo, his eyes staring indifferently at the front.
“MO Ye? A Second-Rank little MO Ye?” Chu Yishui blinked, staring at the emaciated little guy in front of her, as if she wanted to touch the smooth armor of the little MO Ye with her hands.
Soul Pet Masters without enough experience might indeed misjudge the rank of a Soul Pet, and the stubborn little MO Ye was indeed a bit small, so Yishui mistaking him for a Second-Rank was not strange.
“Zhan Ye, Demon Spirit Butterfly is an agile Soul Pet, be careful when dealing with it,” Chu Mu said to Little MO Ye.
Zhan Ye was the name Chu Mu gave MO Ye. Chu Mu felt that nothing could describe the stubborn little MO Ye better than the word “Zhan” (Battle).
“Roar—–” Zhan Ye slowly paced, his black eyes immediately locked onto the perched Demon Spirit Butterfly.
“Brother, isn’t this you bullying your Xiao MO Ye? That Demon Spirit Butterfly is at the fourth rank, second stage.” Chu Yishui thought Chu Mu might have summoned the wrong Soul Pet, so she reminded him.
“Don’t worry, it can handle this opponent.” Chu Mu smiled, seeming to have complete confidence in Xiao MO Ye.
As expected…
When Xiao MO Ye angered the Demon Spirit Butterfly, it unleashed a whirlwind, immediately sending MO Ye flying. It crashed heavily onto the ground, making Chu Yishui wince.
Usually, a level three, fifth stage MO Ye would be nearly a meter and a half in size. The Wind Demon Butterfly’s whirlwind shouldn’t be able to easily lift a Commander-level MO Ye, but Chu Mu’s battle Ye is just too small…
Chu Mu wasn’t worried about the injuries Zhan Ye had suffered. Zhan Ye had a self-recovery speed six times that of other Soul Pets. The whirlwind’s fall damage might have already healed before the battle ended.
“Brother, why don’t you switch to another Soul Pet? The little guy looks so pitiful.” Chu Yishui’s heart ached as she watched the battle.
“Even if I want to recall it, it wouldn’t necessarily come back.” Chu Mu said.
Indeed, Chu Mu’s little MO Ye was very stubborn. It wouldn’t give up against an opponent it thought it could beat.
“But…” Chu Yishui was about to persuade him when she suddenly noticed that Chu Mu’s MO Ye suddenly accelerated, leapt onto a long-leaf tree, and jumped a full ten meters in height!
Chu Yishui was stunned!
This battle Ye was just taken down by the Demon Spirit Butterfly’s whirlwind a moment ago. How could it have no injuries as if it had just been summoned to battle?!
Once Zhan Ye launched an attack, it was bound to be lethal!
Crushing Claw!
The thick ink armor long claw fiercely slammed on the Demon Spirit Butterfly’s body, instantly shattering its wings!!!
“Roar!” Following its strike, the battle Ye stomped on the Demon Spirit Butterfly like a fierce tiger, pressing it down, its wings no longer able to fly!
“Pffft!” Dust immediately flew up into the air as the Demon Spirit Butterfly sunk into the mud, unable to spread its wings and fly again!
Chu Yishui stared at the scene with wide eyes for a moment, unable to speak. She couldn’t believe that Xiao MO Ye would be able to unleash this much power after being continuously injured, defeating the Fourth Rank, Second Stage Demon Spirit Butterfly in one strike!
“This Demon Spirit Butterfly is quite ordinary.” Chu Mu recalled Zhan Ye, not killing the Demon Spirit Butterfly but also not letting Chu Yishui choose it.
“Oh, oh…” Chu Yishui hadn’t recovered from her astonishment and just nodded dumbly.
