The Charm of Soul Pets (WN)

The corpse army was not too far away from Chu Mu. With the appearance of dominator rank corpses, the entire corpse army piled up again.

Mo Xie’s energy could intimidate them for a while, but could never fully stop the corpse army’s advance.

“Let’s go.” Chu Mu stepped forward in silver flames towards the Yellow Spring.

Little Mo Xie was tired after the battle as well. She leaped onto Chu Mu’s shoulder and curled up. After sipping the medicine Chu Mu gave her, she started lightly licking her wounds to spread the medicine out evenly.

“I don’t know their situation. If they haven’t beaten the yellow spring yet….” Princess Jin Rou was worried.

Chu Mu looked back at the corpse army. With their speed, it wouldn’t take longer than an hour to devour yellow spring’s position.

After flying for a while, Chu Mu saw the lonely standing yellow spring plaque.

“No sounds of fighting, is it over?” Chu Mu muttered to himself.

Flying past the yellow spring plaque, the corpse army was thrown a good distance behind.

“Chu Mu, look.” Suddenly, Princess Jin Rou pointed at the yellow spring road said.

Chu Mu glanced over and noticed that there were many navy members and soul pets laying on the ground of the road!

These navy members all were alive, but were laying on the road as if they lost their senses.

“There’s more ahead.” Princess JIn Rou said.

Chu Mu glanced over and noticed that almost every few meters was a member. This strange phenomenon was something Chu Mu couldn’t explain.

“They aren’t dead but the corpse army will still run them over.” Princess Jin Rou said.

Chu Mu nodded and chanted an incantation to summon the devil tree battle soldier.

Chu Mu told devil tree battle soldier to use its roots to grab all the navy members and soul pets to drag them away.

Devil Tree battle Soldier’s roots could become thousands of roots. It could grab as many navy members as it needed.

Continuing forward, the entire yellow spring road was still silent- so silent it was scary.

……

“Great leader….. Give up…. We… we aren’t its match.” Leader Hai Qie said, utterly dejected.

Great leader Xu Kuang stood there silently, already showing despair!

A total of nine top tier dominator ranks and one top tier dominator rank, this was an absolutely formidable force that could sweep through almost any dominator rank organism.

However, they failed.

In fact, they could not even damage the yellow spring at all!

The strongest demon of second demon burial mound! This power was already beyond its superior rank. Its powerful fighting strength caused Xu Kuang to feel like a speck of dust the entire time.

All the dominator rank soul pets were already fallen. Yellow Spring was still standing there coldly. Without any emotions shown, the aura of pride already caused everyone to feel as if this Yellow Spring were a massive ice mountain, cold and insurmountable!

Great leader Xu Kuang bit down hard, and glanced behind him.

Though he couldn’t see anything, he knew that there were four thousand navy members behind him!

They were all brought out of Wupan Continent and into this island to fight for him. They had sacrificed soul pets they viewed as lifelong friends. If he couldn’t even bring them safely home, how was he still worthy of them?

“Great leader, Zhen Wu must have been intentionally tricking us…. He must know how powerful these protectors and yet still sent us over….” Leader Hai Qie said angrily.

This Demon Crown definitely wasn’t because third rank navy wasn’t strong enough. It’s because these four protectors truly were too powerful. Such an organism could only be dealt with by the second rank navy!

After Paramita, Three Roads, the navy’s army was already wounded. If not for Chu Mu and the others’ intervention, their navy likely would have stopped at Forgotten Creek.

However, even now, so what if they could make it to yellow spring? Both were top tier dominator ranks, Yellow Spring could defeat them as if they were a bunch of toddlers.

In fact, yellow spring didn’t even bother taking their lives after defeating them.

“Huhuhu”

Suddenly, a silver flame came from the darkness behind.

This flame seemed to break through some energy and fly straight towards Xu Kuang. There was a soft beautiful spectral figure beside the devil flame figure.

“Chu Mu!” Chao Lengchuan noticed Chu Mu flying over and a sliver of joy came onto his defeated face.

Since Chu Mu flew over, it must mean that he defeated Forgotten Creek.

Xu Kuang saw that Chu Mu was confused too. There should be a demon realm around this place already. Others shouldn’t be able to enter at all. Yet, Chu Mu and the female demon easily broke through.

Chu Mu fell before them and glanced over them.

“What happened?” Chu Mu asked.

“We lost. Utterly. From beginning to end, we couldn’t even hurt the Yellow Spring a single bit. The Yellow Spring only used a few techniques…. However, for some reason, it didn’t kill us.” Chao Lengchuan said in a low voice.

“We picked up a lot of navy members on the way, why were they all unconscious?” Princess Jin Rou asked.

Hai Qie explained the situation with the navy members along the way.

“It’s an illusion.” Princess Jin Rou said.

“What illusion?” Hai Qie asked confused.

“You may have entered the Yellow Spring’s illusion at the very beginning. The members weren’t disappearing one by one. They were getting their fear amplified until their minds were overloaded, and they went unconscious. They probably dropped from the team long ago and those that followed were probably just illusions.” Princess Jin Rou said.

Chu Mu and Princess JIn Rou hadn’t entered the the yellow spring territory for a long time, but Hai Qie just said they spent a long time walking.

This meant that they must have spent a long time on the illusions created by Yellow Spring. The illusions combined with the actual road were nearly indistinguishable!

Chu Mu and Princess Jin Rou lifted all the navy members along the way, counting three thousand people. This means that the vast majority of navy members probably weren’t in the team. Maybe only the few navy members that came to report the disappearances were real.

After hearing Princess Jin Rou’s explanation, Xu Kuang was in even greater sweat. He stared, shocked, at the unmoving cold Yellow Spring.

From the very beginning, Yellow Spring created an illusion. However, even until they were completely defeated did they not realize it was such a terrifying demon!!

Princess Jin Rou and the rest of them were all explaining when Chu Mu had already walked towards the Yellow Spring.

“Chu Mu…. it’s very strong….” Chao Lengchuan tried to call for Chu Mu,.

Xu Kuang utterly lost. There was no chance of winning this fight.

Chu Mu ignored Chao Lengchuan and continued walking over.

A mysterious and terrifying aura shrouded the Yellow Spring. Its appearance was hidden. Only its deep and black eyes pierced through with an emotionless gaze.

“Chu Mu…..”

Everyone watched as Chu Mu walked towards the Yellow Spring, their hearts lifting up into their throat.

Was Chu Mu about to challenge it?

But, after the Forgotten Creek Battle, how did Chu Mu still have strength to fight the yellow Spring?

Chu Mu seemed in a trance as he walked step by step towards the Yellow Spring. No matter how everyone else called for him, he didn’t respond.

“Go check on him quickly!” Xia Zhixian hurriedly asked Princess Jin Rou.

“His consciousness is clear.” Princess JIn Rou said with confidence. His gaze passed through the shroud and looked at the yellow spring and her expression changed slightly and continued, “But this yellow spring…..”

“What about the Yellow Spring?” Chao Lengchuan and Xia Zhixian were both utterly lost.

“I think I’ve seen this yellow spring somewhere before…..” Princess Jin Rou put down her head and thought for a bit.

Xu Kuang and Hai Qie were both drawn over by Princess Jin Rou’s words. They all put their attention onto her.

Finally, Princess Jin Rou remembered. Her beautiful face was instantly overtaken with shock as her spirited eyes glinted with disbelief!

No one knew why Princess Jin Rou had such a sudden shift of emotions.

“I ….. I remember now!” PRincess Jin Rou yelled out.

Back in Jia City, Chu Mu used a dream beast that could harness darkness to kidnap her.

The person that kidnapped her, she naturally would never forget. Similarly, the dream beast was also someone Princess Jin Rou had a deep impression of. And in the following interactions, she could often see it used as Chu Mu’s ride!

Yet at this time, she found that the yellow spring under the shadows was the Night Thunder Dream Beast. Though blood markings were all over its head, Princess Jin Rou was sure it was the same dream beast!

“Night Thunder Dream Beast!!”

Princess Jin Rou’s heart was in turmoil!

“Night Thunder Dream Beast, isn’t that a commander rank demon?” Hai Qie asked, confused.

“Commander rank demon?” Xu Kuang was also shocked as he looked back at the yellow spring.

Did he really just lose to a commander species rank dream beast?

Paramita, Three Roads, Forgotten Creek, any one of these protectors were at least dominator rank in species. Yet, the ifnal Yellow Spring was a commander rank demon?

That wasn’t even the main point. The more shocking thing was the soul pet that chu Mu lost was a Night Thunder Dream Beast. All this way, looking around and walking the path of his soul pet, chu Mu was trying to find back the Night Thunder Dream Beast that had failed the challenge of second demon burial mound…..

Yet now, the final protector is that very same Night Thunder Dream Beast!!

“It…. Yellow Spring…. Yellow Spring is the soul pet Chu Mu was looking for. Chu Mu’s soul pet is that Yellow Spring!” Princess Jin Rou pointed and said.

Princess Jin Rou’s words caused everyone to be shocked as they turned their heads in equal disbelief!

At the same time, Chu Mu was in front of the cold Yellow Spring.

Though it was just a back image, they still recognized each other. Chu Mu’s emotions rippled wildly.

The Yellow Spring seemed frozen, but its dark, night-like pupils quietly melted.

These eyes were emotionless no matter how many hardships, pains, bitterness, loneliness it had to withstand. Yet, when Chu Mu walked over, it couldn’t stand it anymore.

Its black eyes instantly melted into tears as burning tears rolled down its cheeks!
