Chapter 352: Chapter 228 The End of the Dark Forest
Translator: 549690339
This is… this is…” The Soul Pet Master without a blood-sucking wood soul pet retreated in panic, his eyes full of horror as they stared at the Ghost Dome King, his face pale with fear!
Ghost Dome King, Monarch-level Soul Pet, its displayed aura was extremely strong, especially the chilling ghost aura, which could easily overpower people with weaker mental resilience!
“Ghost Dome King, this is the Ghost Dome King, my God, Monarch-level Soul Pet!!!”
Teenager Ting Nan was completely dumbfounded, never expecting Chu Mu to summon a Monarch-level Soul Pet. After all, those who could possess Monarch-level Soul Pets were powerful people they didn’t dare to provoke. These strong ones either had a high reputation or held high positions in major powers!
“Ooo”
The Demon Tree Warrior suddenly pressed its two arms to the ground, and its ten fingers drilled into the earth!
Wood Finger Prison!
Ten fingers pierced through the ground and suddenly sprang up from the surrounding positions of that Soul Pet Master, quickly entwining above his head and trapping him in the Wood Finger Prison!
The Demon Tree Warrior pulled up its arm, and the wood fingers began to retract. In no time, these wood fingers covered the ground, and the already injured Dual Spirit Soul Pet Master was immediately choked to the ground!
Soul Pet Masters’ bodies were fragile, and as the Wood Finger Prison tightened the grip, the skin was cut open, leaving ten bloody gashes!
“Myriad Weights Sword!!!”
Chu Mu issued an order, and the Ghost Dome King clutched the sword with both hands, hacking at the body of that Soul Pet Master with pure strength. The Soul Pet Master had already chanted a spell to protect himself, but his weak defenses couldn’t stop the Ghost Dome King’s sharp sword!
As the sword fell, the Soul Pet Master’s body was directly shattered by the Myriad Weights Sword, with blood and flesh splattering into a sinking pit.
Watching that Soul Pet Master die miserably, Ting Nan was already terrified. He never expected that the Soul Pet Master he lured in was a Soul Lord possessing Monarch-level Soul Pets.
With the powerful combat power of three Soul Pets, he killed four people in a row. This level of strength was considered a top expert in the entire Thousand Wood City. Moreover, for some reason, Ting Nan felt that the man standing on the tree crown, indifferently gazing at the bloody battlefield, hadn’t even exerted his full strength. He might have even stronger Soul Pets!
As everyone else had already died, Ting Nan dared not stay any longer. Trembling with fear, he summoned a Winged System Soul Pet, trying to escape Chu Mu’s three bloodthirsty Soul Pets through the air.
However, just as Ting Nan’s Soul Pet took off, the Demon Tree Warrior’s roots drilled out from the ground, entwining his lower limbs and dragging him harshly to the ground, leaving him and his Soul Pet no chance to escape.
The Ghost Dome King stepped forward with its four-meter-tall stature, its huge shadow cast on Ting Nan and his Soul Pet. The ghostly eyes corroded the teenager’s soul. If the King Ghost Curved Sword in its hand fell, it would certainly take the life of that young man.
“Let me… spare me, please… I was forced to do this too, I actually didn’t want to harm you…” Ting Nan was already pale with fear, begging Chu Mu to spare him.
Chu Mu’s expression was indifferent, he asked faintly, “How long have you been in Thousand Wood City?”
“I… one year… about one year…” Ting Nan didn’t dare to lie any more and honestly answered Chu Mu.
“Have you heard any news about the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree?” Chu Mu continued to ask.
“Ancient Blue Demonic Tree?” Ting Nan’s eyes shifted, hesitating for a moment before replying, “I know, I know, I can take you there, as long as you don’t kill me…”
Chu Mu shook his head, indifferently saying, “You will definitely die. Whether you say it or not, it’s only related to how you die.”
As he spoke, Chu Mu slowly raised his right hand. On his palm, a white charm demon flame burned quietly. The icy chill of this demon flame penetrated the soul and made the dark-hearted teenager shudder all over!
With a gentle swipe of his hand, the white charm demon flame flew directly onto Ting Nan. Before Ting Nan could react, the white charm demon flame pierced through his flesh and began to burn his soul!
“Aaahhhhhhh!!!”
Creepy screams echoed through the gloomy forest. Ting Nan, whose soul was being tortured, twisted his face in unbearable pain and rolled on the ground.
“Kill me… kill me, please… I beg you to kill me…”
Burning of the soul was indeed painful. When Chu Mu first signed the soul contract with White Nightmare Demon, he had wanted to end his life countless times.
Now, Ting Nan is suffering from the stronger burning power of the White Charm Demon Flame, a pain that ordinary people simply cannot bear!
Chu Mu’s palm slowly clenched, and the demon flame burning Ting Nan’s body gradually extinguished.
“I’ve… I’ve heard… that if you go through… through… the Bloodsucking Wood Demon’s territory and keep… moving north, it will get darker and darker. Reach the end of this dark forest, and you’ll find an Ancient Blue Demonic Tree…” Ting Nan finally spoke, apparently unable to withstand Chu Mu’s torture method.
“Zhan Ye.” After obtaining the information, Chu Mu did not hesitate, and said indifferently to Zhan Ye.
Zhan Ye also understood Chu Mu’s meaning and slowly walked to Ting Nan’s back. There seemed to be no movement at all, but Zhan Ye’s arm was slightly raised and quickly dropped.
After this swift motion, which was almost invisible, a bright red bloodstain appeared on the back of Ting Nan’s neck. The bloodstain was slowly overflowing with blood, more and more blood oozing out, finally gushing out…
Ting Nan’s body twitched a little, and his eyes turned lifeless as he fell to the ground, his life rapidly slipping away.
“Fox Elder, see if they have anything valuable.” Chu Mu said to the Fox Elder.
Fox Elder jumped out of Chu Mu’s Soul Capture Ring and quickly swept the corpses, quickly collecting the space rings of the few corpses.
“It’s all just scrap metal, a bunch of Soul Cores, a few Soul Crystals, and a bunch of bottles and jars with potions. The more valuable ones are just a few items you don’t need, and it totals around 5 million.” Fox Elder said.
“Keep the valuable things and throw away the useless ones.” Chu Mu’s space ring had limited capacity, especially with so many Soul Cores already stored, he didn’t bother carrying those less valuable items.
After collecting the assets from the corpses, Chu Mu did not linger here. After all, the smell of blood could easily attract ferocious soul pets, and Chu Mu didn’t want to be mysteriously surrounded by a group of soul pets.
After continuing to walk north for a distance, Chu Mu found a comparatively safe spot to sit down and rest.
Of course, Chu Mu didn’t need to rest himself. The ones who needed to rest were the Demon Tree, Zhan Ye, and Ghost Monarch who had just experienced a battle.
“Life Siphon, with this skill, I should be more confident in dealing with Yu He’s Hundred-Tendril Tree Demon.” Chu Mu said.
“Oh Oh” With increased strength, the Demon Tree Warrior was extremely excited, letting out a cry.
“Just rest, though life force can be supplemented through Life Siphon, you have also consumed a lot of physical strength.” Chu Mu patted the shoulder of the Demon Tree Warrior.
Soul pets’ combat power was naturally affected by their life force and physical strength. The Demon Tree Warrior now had an inexhaustible life force, but if its physical strength failed, its combat power would still decline…
“Speaking of which, it seems to have grown another stage?” Chu Mu suddenly noticed that the Demon Tree Warrior seemed to have grown while patting its shoulder.
Just a short while ago, the Demon Tree Warrior had just grown from the Sixth Rank Stage 6 to Seventh Stage, and the fusion of the Crown Blood Fat and Blood Amber had truly reinforced the Demon Tree Warrior. It had grown another stage right after completing its growth, which was quite a surprise for Chu Mu. Now, the Demon Tree Warrior had reached the Sixth Rank Eighth Stage.
If they can find some high-grade spirit items for enhancing the Demon Tree Warrior during this trip to search for the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree, then it should be quite possible to promote the Demon Tree Warrior to Seventh Rank. After all, besides using the Heart of Demon Wood to enhance its power in Gangluo City, the Demon Tree Warrior had not undergone any high-grade spirit item enhancement. It is highly hopeful that it can break through the sixth rank by enhancing it with some stronger spirit items.
“Fox Elder, is what that youngster said credible, that there is indeed an Ancient Blue Demonic Tree at the end of this dark forest?” Chu Mu looked at the north end of this gloomy forest.
“Should be true, the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree is also known as the Geological Demonic Tree, and it usually grows at the junction of two different forests. It’s likely that this dark forest stretches for hundreds of kilometers, after which are lush green forests or continuous mountain ranges of Yuan Forest. It’s indeed possible that the Ancient Blue Demonic Tree would grow at the north end of this gloomy forest.” Fox Elder said.
“Seems like there’s still a long way to go…” Looking at the endless dark forest, Chu Mu smiled bitterly.
This kind of forest atmosphere was unfamiliar to Chu Mu; the oppressive atmosphere made people feel strange. It always seemed that a few pairs of eyes were staring at them from behind the dark trees, their gazes filled with a touch of coldness.
Occasionally, chilly breeze blew by, and among Chu Mu’s three soul pets, Zhan Ye had a dark attribute, the Demon Tree Warrior itself liked the forest atmosphere, and the Ghost Dome King had a ghost attribute, so they seemed quite comfortable in this dark forest.
However, Chu Mu was a normal person, and naturally preferred to walk in an environment with abundant light, lush greenery, and full of vitality.
(The third chapter today, a bit late… Two updates tomorrow, Sunday, to take a little breath… Monthly tickets, recommendation votes, subscriptions, and collections… And if you have any good soul pet ideas, you can write them in the pinned post in the book review area. Ah, don’t always write about big bosses. Writing about those and being quoted is nearly impossible. Normal and common soul pets have a higher probability of being quoted. There are only a few big boss soul pets in the story, but many have appeared in book review threads.)
