Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Elimination, Death
Translator: 549690339
Zhang Feisheng’s body slowly fell to the ground, and his blood-soaked head was spat out by the terrifying Horror Wolf, splattering blood everywhere…
“Running away will result in the same fate as him! Humph, you people have already been eliminated to this island through selection. The fact that the Nightmare Demon Palace is willing to give you ten more chances to stay alive is already a generous act!!” Cao Yi cruelly spoke without even glancing at the corpse.
The three-meter-tall Horror Wolf strode arrogantly from the entrance of the camp to Cao Yi’s side, its eyes fierce to the extreme. Just being stared at by it would send shivers down one’s spine!
Feeling the shocked gazes of the young Soul Pet Masters, Cao Yi smiled and rubbed the Horror Wolf’s skull with one hand, boasting:
“Surprised, right? This is my second main pet, the Horror Wolf, a high-ranking War General. Even if you add up all of your soul pets, they’re no match for it!” Chu Mu calmly observed Cao Yi’s powerful Horror Wolf.
Horror Wolves and fierce wolves are both from the same species, but the species ranking of the Horror Wolf is an entire level higher than the fierce wolf. Fierce wolves are high-level Servants, while Horror Wolves are high-level War Generals.
In order for Cao Yi to have a Horror Wolf at the War General level, it meant that he was at least a Soul Warrior!
A higher species ranking implied greater potential. It was evident from the size and appearance of Cao Yi’s Horror Wolf that it had undergone several metamorphoses. Indeed, as Cao Yi had said, all the soul pets of the trainers present combined were no match for this Horror Wolf!
“You, come down, your opponent is already dead, it counts as your victory!”
Cao Yi pointed at Ge Qing on the battlefield, speaking with a commanding tone.
Standing on the battlefield, Ge Qing’s face showed a strange expression. He obviously felt that Cao Yi’s Horror Wolf was an insurmountable height for him, so he could only lower his head and walk down from the battlefield…
“Cao Yi’s Horror Wolf is so powerful; no one can defeat it, right?” Ting Yu whispered to Chu Mu who was next to her.
Chu Mu Only shook his head slightly: “It is only the king of this enclosed island. A high-ranking War General Horror Wolf is not the strongest being…” “Oh…” Ting Yu gently nodded.
Species ranking is an essential basis for determining the strength of soul pets. Chu Mu could remain so calm and confident because he had a soul pet capable of race mutation. What was the significance of being at the War General level? As long as one continuously grew stronger and kept fighting, reaching a higher level than the War General would not be a problem!
“You four, continue!” Cao Yi waved his hand, signaling the four to continue fighting.
Lan Yu and Qi Xin, Huang Ruyi and Chen Zhuo – the four’s soul pets were in Medium grade, at around the sixth stage. They were Fur Monster, Evil Spider, Snake-tailed Monster, and Sword-stemmed Grass Demon.
None of them displayed anything remarkable in their command or control of their soul pets in the considerable fight they had among themselves. However, their struggle was extremely ferocious! In no time, both soul pets and Soul Pet Masters were covered in blood!
“Lan Yu, victorious, you can roll back to your nest to rest.”
“Chen Zhuo, victorious, roll. With injuries like that, there’s no doubt you will lose in tomorrow’s second round!”
Winners could go back to rest and prepare tor the key next battle, while losers, like Qi Xin and Huang Ruyi, were dragged away by the executors. No one knew where they would be taken, but one thing was certain – once their battle was over, it was their time to die.
“The next three battles: Wind Valley against Suo Zi, Ting Yu against Lian Shen, Mao Chang against Ding Chen…”
Hearing Ting Yu’s name, Chu Mu glanced at her and said, “Conserve your energy as much as possible when dealing with this kind of opponent.” “Yeah.” Ting Yu nodded and slowly walked to the arena.
Ting Yu’s Thorn Rose Demon was well-known for its strength. The teenager named Lian Shen, who knew his opponent was Ting Yu, turned pale in an instant and stood there for a long time, not daring to come forward.
Similarly, Suo Zi’s expression was akin to Lian Shen’s since his opponent was Wind Valley. Wind Valley had a ninth-stage Rock Demon; after Zhou Shengmo and Tang Xian’s death, no one could rival him!
“Quit dawdling; do you want to die?!” Seeing the two people standing still, Cao Yi scolded them.
This scolding startled both of them, and they thought of Zhang Feisheng, who was brutally killed by the Horror Wolf. They could no longer resist.
Both Lianshen and Suo Zi had average combat power, and Feng Gu and Ting Yu had similar combat styles. They were very calm as they both defended their positions, regardless of how the two tried to fight with their lives on the line.
There was no suspense in the battle. Lianshen, Suo Zi, and Ding Chen were all defeated. Their soul pets fought to death for their masters’ survival, but when their masters were defeated, they were ruthlessly dragged away by the Executors. “Next round…” “Drag them away!” “Go rest!” “Next round…”
“Drag them away!”
Screams, struggles, and pleas were useless. The Executors cold-heartedly carried out their tasks while the young soul pet masters looked on indifferently…
There was a smell of blood in the air. Dead soul pets were casually thrown outside the arena, emitting the scent of death.
Half a year ago, there were about 300 young soul pet trainers in Nightmare Demon Island. Four months ago, there were only about 100 left. Two hundred of them had their souls consumed because they were unable to meet the soul requirements of the nightmare demons.
Three months ago, a physical training caused the number to drop to 50. Within those 50, there were accidental deaths, people killed by their soul pets, assassinations, and escape attempts… In the end, only 41 people participated in the last battle.
By today, the number of survivors would be reduced to 21…
“Li Zhisheng, next round, Chu Mu, and Hong Dan…”
When Chu Mu heard his name, he didn’t even bother to look who his opponent was. He just looked indifferently at the Executors cleaning up the arena.
Chu Mu’s most feared opponents had already fought, and he was not afraid of the others.
At the edge of the arena, the girl named Hong Dan heaved a sigh of relief, and a glimmer of life returned to her eyes.
“Sister Ting Yu, Chu Mu’s soul pet is the Moonlight Fox, right? It looks like I have a chance!” Hong Dan said.
After the end of the battle, Ting Yu didn’t leave but stayed with her group of female soul pet trainers.
However, from the start of the competition, including her, out of seven female soul pet trainers, three had been eliminated…
And now, it was clear that Hong Dan would be eliminated as well…
Yet, Hong Dan didn’t know and even gave Chu Mu an indifferent glance, cold killing intent rising in her eyes…
“Do your best.” Ting Yu didn’t know what else to say, just patted Hong Dan on the shoulder…
Emboldened, Hong Dan walked towards the arena full of confidence and a hint of coldness…
Ting Yu sighed as she watched Hong Dan’s back.. In fact, she was always uneasy because the opponent she feared the most was not Ge Qing or Wind Valley, but Chu Mu, who lived under the same roof!
