Chapter 162: Chapter 43: Demon Tree Monster
Translator: 549690339
Breaking news, it had been a long time since such a rare treasure worth 5 Million Gold Coins appeared in Gangluo City, especially a Level 6 Soul Armor!
The significance of a Level 6 Soul Armor is monumental. As long as Soul Pet
Masters wear this equipment and slightly add a defense skill, their defense can easily reach the 7th level. This level of defense can almost completely block the attacks of most Commanders below the 6th Tier, even higher level Commanders must inflict multiple damage to break through this defense. Such a supreme treasure that protects Soul Pet Masters, who wouldn’t yearn for it?!
After this incredibly shocking news spread, almost all clans and rich businessmen rushed to the auction house to verify the information, and they all found that it was completely true!!
Moreover, what astonished the bigshots of Gangluo City even more was that in addition to this extremely rare Level 6 Soul Armor, there would also be many young Commander-level Soul Pets auctioned off. These Soul Pets would fetch upwards of 500,000 Gold Coins!!
Many times, an auction featuring a high-quality Commander-level Soul Pet would be the highlight, competed for by all the major families and wealthy merchants. However, this time there were several high-quality Commander-level Soul Pets up for auction!!
In the face of such a sensational event, how could the bigshots of Gangluo City not inquire about the person behind these valuable treasures?
The auction house naturally had to keep it confidential, not leaking even a bit of information. Of course, the manager of the auction house also knew that the person who could bring these items to the auction could not be an ordinary person. The manager would not let himself get into trouble for a piece of news!
A competitive storm swept through the entire Gangluo City, including people of power from other cities who had already arrived for this amazing auction!
In order to obtain the treasures in this luxurious auction, it naturally requires a large amount of funds, especially for the Level 6 Soul Armor worth 5 Million Gold Coins. In order to obtain this treasure, all major families must allocate funds from their various business industries. 5 Million Gold Coins are not easy to come by otherwise.
Of course, if it were just 5 Million Gold Coins, perhaps a wealthy family like the Yang Family would have the ability to directly cover it from their own coffers. However, there are also many high-quality Commander-level Soul Pets in this auction. If these Commander-level Soul Pets fall into the hands of other families, the Yang Family would definitely face some threats. The Yang Family naturally cannot show weakness, so they too must allocate funds from multiple business industries!
“Young Master, would this be too risky? If the Yang Family does not intend to buy the Level 6 Soul Armor, wouldn’t all the plans be in vain?” Ting Yu said with some worry.
“Right now, the Yang Family has the most power in Gangluo City, and they definitely have a lot of wealth reserved for buying some treasures. The Level 6 Soul Armor must be something they need. Of course, this is not the main reason. In fact, only the Yang Family in Gangluo City has the power to buy the Level 6 Soul Armor…” Chu Mu said.
The Chu Family was currently in a period of economic decline, unable to consider any amount over 500,000 Gold Coins. Chu Mu believed that the Chu Family would definitely allocate some funds for this auction and try to strengthen itself, but there is absolutely no way they could purchase the Level 6 Soul Armor. They cannot even bid the price higher because everyone knows that while the Chu Family can come up with this much money, the operation of the family would be greatly affected.
Qin Family
“Why, are we supposed to let such a treasure go?” Qin Chang asked in confusion.
Qin Chang was the head of the Qin Family, and within the family, the Vice City Master had the most authority. Qin Chang knew that the Luo region Door was a huge force, and although Qin Meng’er was favored by the elders there, she might suffer some grievances due to her insufficient background. So, this time, the head of the Qin Family made up his mind to try his best to get the Level 6 Soul Armor for Qin Meng’er’s self-defense.
Now Qin Meng’er is the biggest hope of the Qin Family. As long as she has a certain position in the Luo region Door, the Yang Family and Zhou Clan would not dare to have any ideas about the Qin Family. The whole family takes her seriously. If the Family Head insists on buying the Level 6 Soul Armor for her, not many people would object.
“Father, we can’t touch this. Please listen to me just this once and don’t think about the Level 6 Soul Armor.” Qin Meng’er bit her lip and said.
Not long ago, Chu Mu had sent a message to Qin Meng’er asking her to persuade her family not to think about the Level 6 Soul Armor. Although Qin Meng’er didn’t know what Chu Mu was going to do, the situation seemed far from trivial and was likely related to the Nightmare Demon Palace. Qin Meng’er didn’t want her family to get involved in the conflict.
Upon seeing his worried daughter, Qin Chang spoke slowly, “Did you hear some news from your fellow disciples in Luo region Door…”
Qin Meng’er, who was worried about not having an excuse, immediately nodded.
“In that case, I should secretly inform the Chu Family so they don’t get involved.” Qin Chang said.
Being on good terms with the Qin Family, the Qin Family always secretly helps the Chu Family. After all, if the Chu Family were completely wiped out from
Gangluo City, the Yang and Zhou families would slowly devour the Qin Family. Lip death and tooth cold reason, Qin Chang still understood.
“Yeah.” Qin Meng’er couldn’t say the Chu Family already knew, so she just nodded again.
“We must seize this rare opportunity to obtain the Level 6 Soul Armor!” Yang Family Patriarch Yang Kuo said solemnly.
“But we just lost a Level 6 Territory…” Many of the Yang Family’s retainers seemed to think that buying the Level 6 Soul Armor was too extravagant.
Yang Luobin stood beside Family Head Yang Kuo without saying a word. The purchase of the Level 6 Soul Armor would undoubtedly belong to him, the heir of the family. As long as he obtained this Level 6 Soul Armor, he would have an invincible position in the recommendation!
Yang Family Head Yang Kuo seemed to have made up his mind. Such a rarity would start at an auction price of 3 million Gold Coins. If the Yang Family did not compete, other families could take advantage of this and use it in the recommendation contest. In that case, the Yang Family’s top position might not be secured. If this treasure appeared at an auction in another city, Yang Kuo would not even consider it, but since it appeared in Gangluo City, he couldn’t let it fall into the hands of competing forces!
“Mobilize funds and prepare for the upcoming auction.” Yang Kuo took full control of the power, not giving other members much of an opportunity to speak.
After the Yang Family’s meeting ended, Yang Shang’s face darkened. When everyone left, he muttered, “It pains me to spend 1 million gold coins on buying the Demon Tree Heart, but he’s willing to spend 5 million gold coins on buying Soul Armor for that guy. What a detestable man!”
“Yang Shang, what are you muttering about?” Yang Luobin looked at the gloomy-faced Yang Shang and asked.
Yang Shang, of course, couldn’t reveal his own jealousy towards Yang Luobin, so he immediately thought of another matter and said, “I’m annoyed by that trash from the Chu Family.”
“You mean that kid Chu Mu?” Yang Luobin had already known about Chu Mu’s survival and that he seemed to be able to summon soul pets now.
Chu Mu had lost a Single Spirit. If he reached the Dual Spirit Soul Warrior level, it would be natural for him to be able to summon a soul pet.
“Yeah, that kid took advantage of my unpreparedness and made me lose face at the auction. This grudge must be avenged!” Yang Shang said fiercely.
“If we can kill him once, we can kill him a second time. Even if you don’t want
to make a move against him, I won’t let him live any longer.” Yang Luobin said coldly with a smile.
“Now that the Chu Family is alert, won’t it be difficult to kill him?” Yang Shang asked.
“It’s not difficult. As long as we force him to participate in the Recommendation, who dares to protect him during the Recommendation competition?” Yang Luobin laughed.
“Won’t it be difficult? Even if we get rid of that fool, the Chu Family won’t easily let him participate in the event,” Yang Shang said.
“Don’t worry, I have a way,” Yang Luobin replied.
Chu Family Residence
For the time being, Chu Mu was not concerned about the auction, focusing instead on training his Soul Pets. After all, mobilizing funds would also take time. As soon as the Yang Family gathered enough funds, it would be time for Chu Mu’s killing spree again!
The effect of the Sky Demon Tears was quite obvious. After Chu Mu fed them to the Night Thunder Dream Beast, it directly grew by one rank, and its growth speed became noticeably faster afterward.
Of course, relying solely on the Sky Demon Tears, the Night Thunder Dream Beast wouldn’t be able to directly grow to Level 6. It would still need to go through battles later. Without battles, the growth speed of the Night Thunder Dream Beast would still be slow.
“The Demon Tree Heart is said to have a certain chance of causing a Mutant change in Wood Element Soul Pets?” Chu Mu browsed through the book about the Demon Tree Heart…
Race Mutation is very rare, but in this vast world, there are some special spirit items that can cause race mutation in soul pets that have potential and talent far beyond their own race. However, these special spirit items are hard to come by and are usually tailored for specific soul pets.
Chu Mu implanted the Demon Tree Heart into the Demon Tree Warrior’s body. Unsurprisingly, the Demon Tree Warrior did not undergo a race mutation, as the chances were extremely low, and Chu Mu couldn’t always be so lucky.
While there was no race mutation, the Demon Tree Warrior’s Wood Type abilities did undergo a significant change. It should have no problem using Level 7 wood-type skills. Of course, the most critical attributes for Wood Type soul pets are vitality and defense power.
“With the Demon Wood armor, defense has reached Level 7 Mid-stage; and Demon Wood roots have greatly increased attack power…” Chu Mu smiled as he looked at the Demon Tree Warrior’s skin.
After the strengthening of the Demon Tree Heart, the Demon Tree Warrior grew a stronger armor and defense layer – the Demon Wood!
Demon Wood, similar to MO Ye’s Demon Fire Evil Flame, is not a special power of a specific race, but having it can directly enhance a soul pet’s combat power!
While the iron was hot, after the Demon Tree Warrior grew the Demon Wood, Chu Mu followed up by using the reserves of the Level 6 Soul Crystal to strengthen it.
The Demon Arts Heart is a natural condensation, and the Soul Crystal comes from Wood Type Soul Pets. These two energies do not clash, and the Demon Tree Warrior unsurprisingly grew to Sixth Rank Second Stage!
With more than 1 million gold coins spent on strengthening, the Demon Tree Warrior’s Wood Type attributes are now strong enough to compete with many High – ranking Commander-level!
And with its powerful defense and vitality, perhaps sending only the Demon
Tree Warrior could sweep through most opponents in the Recommendation!
