“HUU HUU HUU HUU”
A powerful whirlwind slowly converged around Chu Mu, who turned his head only to see the water-colored halo around Ye Qingzi’s Water Moon emerge, manipulating the fierce downpour!
The rainwater began to flow eerily, even flooding the underground, slowly being pulled up. Following a long chant from Water Moon, the fierce whirlwind churned up a nearly ten-meter high wave resembling a deep sea monster’s open throat, swallowing down on the three rampaging creatures!!
The three creatures panicked and hid behind a resident’s courtyard, but the huge wave engulfed even the courtyard, completely submerging these three creatures in the rolling waves!
Water attacks are considered weak among the many attributes, but if used well, they can still cause very terrifying destruction.
At this moment, Ye Qingzi’s Water Moon was basking in the endless rainwater, becoming incredibly strong. Torrents, waves, and waterfalls, as these water techniques were unceasingly displayed, battered the ferocious creatures, leaving them exhausted and greatly weakened!
Water-type techniques have certain healing, detoxifying, and purifying effects leaning towards supportive types. However, when used in combat, they are the most consuming of a soul pet’s strength. Once soaked and impacted by water, the unique resistance of water makes it easy for soul pets to become exhausted, and their combat power weakens accordingly.
With the support-type Water Moon, restrictive Dream Beast, and Battle Court Black Beast, which was no weaker than Mo Ye, Ye Qingzi effortlessly dealt with these evil creatures. She quickly disposed of ten of them, and the last five were taken care of by the Ice-Feathered Spirit and Demon Tree Warrior.
Indeed, the Ice-Feathered Spirit didn’t have much of an advantage when dealing with these fast-moving creatures. Its released skills would largely be dodged by the monsters. Fortunately, the rainwater helped shorten the spell duration of the ice attribute skills by nearly half, allowing it to effectively damage the creatures.
It could be said that the rain created a very favorable combat situation for Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi. Otherwise, dealing with these creatures with the ability to turn invisible would not have been so simple.
After the battle ended, the rain continued to fall. As a result of being soaked in liquid, the bodies of these evil creatures did not immediately disappear. It took a few minutes for their corpses to show signs of slow decay.
Ye Qingzi came up to Chu Mu and glanced at his three soul pets, finally resting her eyes on the Demon Tree Warrior. She asked, “Strange, what happened to your Demon Tree Warrior? I remember it was seriously injured just now.”
Ye Qingzi originally intended to heal the Demon Tree Warrior’s injuries, but when she approached, it maintained its full combat power, appearing devoid of any wounds.
“It can now life siphon and is considered to have self-healing abilities,” Chu Mu explained with a smile.
“Life Siphon?” Ye Qingzi seemed to have never heard of that skill.
Chu Mu roughly introduced the peculiarities of the Life Siphon skill, and Ye Qingzi slowly opened her delicate little mouth in astonishment…
“As long as its strength is sufficient, your Demon Tree Warrior can fight indefinitely!” Ye Qingzi was amazed after hearing Chu Mu’s explanation. The impact of such a unique skill on the battlefield was quite apparent.
“Indeed…” Chu Mu nodded.
“None of your soul pets are normal,” Ye Qingzi didn’t know how Chu Mu was always so lucky, his soul pets consistently mastering skills that made others envious.
“Hehe, you were the one who told me about the method of learning after all,” Chu Mu laughed.
A soul pet trainer’s guidance is a necessary condition for a soul pet to learn skills. If Chu Mu hadn’t focused on the wood attribute of the Demon Tree Warrior and purchased corresponding spirit items to strengthen it, the soul pet might have learned other skills.
For example, if Life Siphon appeared on Ye Qingzi’s Pan Wood Spirit, it would not be as suitable. Ye Qingzi’s Pan Wood Spirit was a support-type wood-element soul pet, which generally received protection and was rarely attacked. Therefore, Life Siphon’s value on it wouldn’t be as direct as it would be on the Demon Tree Warrior, which often faced close combat.
“I feel like my support soul pet master role is a bit redundant when I’m with you,” Ye Qingzi rarely revealed a charming manner, speaking with the tone of an annoyed little woman.
“Hehe,” Chu Mu chuckled sheepishly.
After Ye Qingzi’s Water Moon had healed the injured soul pets, restoring them to their best combat condition, Ye Qingzi suddenly thought of something and reminded Chu Mu, “These creatures have toxins in their bodies. Your Demon Tree Warrior converted their lives into its own. If it does not have self-purifying abilities, it is very likely to be contaminated by their toxins.”
As soon as Ye Qingzi mentioned this, Chu Mu immediately realized this point and quickly asked the Demon Tree Warrior if it felt any abnormality in its body.
“Oh Oh”
The Demon Tree Warrior stretched out his arm in confusion, looking at his palm, only to suddenly find the originally dark red substance gradually turning blue!
“Do you feel any discomfort?” Chu Mu asked the Demon Tree Warrior.
The Demon Tree Warrior shook his head, indicating that his physical condition was quite normal.
“Converting poisonous life into one’s life is prone to poison infection. If these toxins stay in the soul pet’s body for a long time, they may seep into other parts of the body, such as the internal organ crystals, which can corrode the soul pet’s internal organ crystals. But there are also some special cases where these toxins slowly invade the body to make themselves poisonous,” Ye Qingzi explained.
“Are you saying that my Demon Tree Warrior might also have this kind of toxicity?” Chu Mu asked.
“Yes, but the chances are slim. From the current situation, it is in a latent poisoning state, and it will not occur immediately, but it will definitely cause damage to the body tissue.”
“Young master, actually we could also add a poisonous effect to your Demon Tree Warrior. I remember there’s a special thing that can make Plant Spirit Beasts maintain their own physical state, but their attacks carry a strong poison. As long as a little skin is scratched, this poison can cause great harm to some soul pets with poor poison resistance,” said Fox Elder.
Poisonous effects mainly come from flower, insect, and vine families. Upon hearing Fox Elder’s words, a flash of inspiration struck Chu Mu. He could indeed add a toxic effect to the Demon Tree Warrior’s attack, which would not only give the Demon Tree Warrior poison resistance but also make its attacks more lethal.
“Qingzi, do you think my Demon Tree Warrior can have a poisonous attribute?” Chu Mu asked.
Ye Qingzi, being a spirit master, must have researched poisons. It was natural for Chu Mu to consult her on this matter.
“If it were before, the Demon Tree Warrior’s physique definitely couldn’t be poisoned because the toxins would damage its body. But now, since it can convert the life of other soul pets into its own life, with the help of some spirit items, there’s a possibility of developing in a poisonous direction,” said Ye Qingzi.
“Let’s try to make the Demon Tree Warrior possess some toxicity when comprehending the Ran Wood.” After receiving confirmation, Chu Mu smiled. He hadn’t expected that dealing with these creatures would open up a new path to strengthen the Demon Tree Warrior.
“By the way, Dongqing has been in the sewer for quite some time. He should be alright, right?” Ye Qingzi asked worriedly.
“Indeed, it’s been a while. The water should be draining out by now. I’ll go down and have a look,” Chu Mu said.
Just as Chu Mu was about to enter the sewer, his ever-released Soul Sense detected something rapidly emerging from the sewer.
Chu Mu immediately prepared his soul pets for battle, but when he saw Dongqing riding the Water Beast out of the sewer, he relaxed a bit.
“Are you guys okay?” Dongqing saw the tense expressions on Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi’s faces and asked.
“It’s all right. We dealt with a batch of evil creatures, and now we have some clues on their soul pets. I’ll visit some libraries tomorrow to find out more about the types of soul pets. How is the situation with you? The nest is at the bottom, right?” Chu Mu said.
“It is indeed their nest, but I’m afraid there’s a bigger conspiracy here. Let’s not talk about it now; just leave. Don’t let that person detect us,” Dongqing said.
“That person?” Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi showed puzzled expressions.
Dongqing nodded seriously and roughly described his discovery of a soul pet master in the nest of the evil creatures in the sewer.
“As I thought, someone is plotting this. That person is really vicious…” Ye Qingzi frowned.
“Do you know the identity of that person?” Chu Mu asked, already suspecting that there was a mastermind behind the scenes since soul pets, even with high intelligence, shouldn’t know the specifics of a city’s systems.
Dongqing shook his head. “That person must be very powerful. I didn’t dare approach him. All I know is that he’s raising a batch of monsters in another city district. I’m curious as to how he is able to control so many soul pets.”
“Once we find out the category of these soul pets, there should be an answer to that.” Ye Qingzi said.
“Yeah. We’ll wrap it up for today. We’ll bring everyone over tomorrow to annihilate these creatures, and hopefully capture the main culprit,” Dongqing said.
(Strange, I had set it to be posted at 6 o’clock, but it didn’t. I only found out after someone told me I don’t know if it’s my own operational error or a system problem I’m a bit late, sorry Monthly tickets, recommendation votes) (To be continued.
