Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Abnormal Metamorphosis, Giant Insect Pupa
Translator: 549690339
As the silk strands increased drastically, the floating cloud silk that Little Green Worm spat out completely turned into a white cloud cluster, enveloping the arrogant Ice Falcons in it!
On the ground, Chu Mu and MO Ye both looked up in disbelief at the cloud silk cluster swallowing up a dozen Ice Falcons. They remained speechless for a long time…
“Woo woo woo—– ‘ ‘MO Ye tilted its head, looking at Chu Mu with a puzzled and confused expression.
Chu Mu himself wasn’t sure of what was happening, but the usually timid Little Green Worm had unexpectedly performed such an astonishing feat!
“Gah…”
With no buoyancy, the cloud cluster fell from the sky, directly landing on the tree crown. It bent the branches and hung there, undulating above the jungle.
Looking at the inexplicable cloud silk cluster in the jungle, Chu Mu suddenly realized something. He quickly pulled out the Pet Compendium from his bundle and turned it to the Demon Beast World – Insect Species – Cocoon Family section!
There were countless soul pets, and Chu Mu started to learn about them very early on, understanding all sorts of soul pets. But even a hundred-year-old soul pet master wouldn’t dare claim to recognize every single soul pet. So a qualified soul pet master must carry a Pet Compendium with them.
As Chu Mu flipped through the Pet Compendium, searching for information related to Little Green Worm, he continued to gaze upon the massive cocoon with a diameter exceeding ten meters, enclosing more than a dozen Ice Falcons.
“In the Demon Beast World, the development process of insect-type soul pets is very special, often undergoing metamorphosis with completely different body changes after each transformation. Some animals undergo metamorphic development like tadpoles becoming frogs. Among the insect- types, many belong to the Cocoon Family and undergo these metamorphoses when they enter the second rank…
Reading this surprising introduction to the Insect Species Cocoon Family, Chu Mu looked at the huge white cocoon in front of him, his eyes fixed for a long time!
“Is this little guy really a soul pet?” Chu Mu exclaimed in amazement.
Continuing to flip through the pages, a variety of pets similar to Little Green Worm appeared in the Pet Compendium. However, none of them had an appearance that precisely matched Little Green Worm.
As Chu Mu continued to flip, he finally found a somewhat similar description in a rarer sub-clan of the Cocoon Family.
“Before the second rank, they are weak, timid, and often parasitic on more powerful creatures. Their bodies are green, with a pupa shape, possess keen sensing abilities, and the ability to spit white silk…”
As Chu Mu read this sentence, the image of the little creature immediately came to his mind.
The description was small print in the Pet Compendium, the kind that people often ignore. It onlv had a brief DaragraDh about this soul Det. with no depiction of its appearance, no introduction to its abilities, and no taming advice…
“After the second rank, they undergo metamorphosis and enter the true soul pet state, possessing amazing combat power…”
With only these two sentences, the simplistic summary in the Pet Compendium had collated almost all the soul pets that masters could encounter in the wild. Descriptions of a soul pet that only had two sentences were extremely rare. Such a phenomenon occurred for only one reason: it was a very rare soul pet, with only a few owners.
“Little fellow, what breed are you?” Chu Mu looked at the huge white cocoon with a diameter of ten meters, even more puzzled now.
The dense tree crowns were connected in mid-air. The complex structure was laden by a massive cocoon covered in thick white silk. Hanging amidst the lush jungle, it was particularly conspicuous…
The introduction in the Pet Compendium had little information, and Chu Mu only knew that Little Green Worm should have entered its second rank, transforming into a true soul pet through pupation. Although highly anticipated, he didn’t know what else to do.
As such, Chu Mu and MO Ye guarded the cocoon of Little Green Worm for several days.
During these days, Little Green Worm remained in its massive cocoon state. Chu Mu found that the cocoon’s white silk was slowly expanding towards the surrounding plants, turning from covering the tree crowns of the original two trees to now covering three trees.
“Woo woo woo—— ‘ ‘ Little MO Ye held a confused and puzzled expression.
“During the metamorphosis of many insect-type soul pets, they often undergo pupation. Knowing that it is a soul pet, it should be allowed to sign a soul pet soul contract and undergo pupation transformation in my Soul Pet Space. Now this cocoon is so huge, there’s no way I can keep it with me. The book also says that it takes a long time to complete the pupation process…” Chu Mu said to MO
“Woo woo woo, woo woo Little MO Ye let out a bitter cry, as if suddenly losing a friend.
Chu Mu flipped through the Pet Compendium again, specifically looking at the introduction to the Cocoon Family. He found, with frustration, that the pupation and metamorphosis for most cocoon species required a long time, and species with higher rankings took an even longer time to pupate and metamorphose…
“Even the servant level Cocoon Family soul pets require a month of pupation and metamorphosis time. With that Little Green Worm displaying such a terrifying combat power just now, it’s probably not just a mere servant level. I’m afraid the pupation time will take several months…” Chu Mu smiled bitterly as he looked at the massive cocoon that grew bigger day by day.
“Woo woo woo- Little MO Ye cried.
“Waiting like this isn’t the solution. Let’s go somewhere else first, and come back to check on it after some time,” Chu Mu patted MO Ye’s head, saying.
“Woo woo.” MO Ye nodded.
“Don’t worry, its cocoon is very thick, and few soul pets can break its defense.
Moreover, there are so many Ice Falcons nesting in the area now. If the Ice Falcons don’t dare to bother the little guy, other people won’t dare to approach it either,” Chu Mu said.
The little fellow’s cocoon now had a diameter of more than ten meters; its defensive power was so terrifying that it was frightening. If any soul pet could break it open, it meant that this soul pet’s strength was beyond belief. Chu Mu and MO Ye’s presence here wouldn’t make any difference.
“Let’s go, MO Ye.” Chu Mu patted MO Ye and noticed MO Ye’s gaze fixed on a cliff not far behind the massive cocoon…
“What’s wrong?”
“Woo wooMO Ye stared at the cliff covered in green plants, letting out a faint sound.
“Is there something there?” Chu Mu asked.
MO Ye immediately nodded, stepping forward and running ahead.
Chu Mu was unsure of what MO Ye had found, but he immediately passed through the cocoon set up by the little fellow and ran towards the cliff covered in numerous plants.
“This place is a jungle, but inhabited by Ice Falcons; maybe there’s something special with the ice attribute here… ” Chu Mu’s eyes lit up a little.
As they approached, Chu Mu immediately noticed a cave nestled in the cliff that had suddenly risen. Cold-resistant iron-green vines grew around the cave..
