“Isn’t this MO Ye a bit too arrogant?” Ye Wansheng looked at the Mammoth Beast that was fighting alone with a Shadow Hair Monster, then glanced at Chu Mu’s fearless War Beast MO Ye.
Ye Wansheng’s Mammoth Beast was at the Fourth Rank Ninth Stage, and there was no problem in fighting alone with a Fifth Rank Shadow Hair Monster. Even if it faced two Fifth Rank Shadows, it could deal with them calmly since the Mammoth Beast’s defense was considered top-tier among commander soul pets.
However, even if the Mammoth Beast had high defense, Ye Wansheng didn’t dare to command his soul pet to rush directly into the camp of the dozen or so Shadow Hair Monsters. Chu Mu’s War Beast MO Ye seemed to have a similar body quality to his Mammoth Beast, but charging in recklessly would definitely result in heavy damage.
“It shouldn’t be considered arrogant, I suppose…” Chu Ning looked at Chu Mu’s War Beast MO Ye with a flickering gaze. Back in Gangluo City’s square battlefield, what left the deepest impression on everyone was not the Ice-Feathered Spirit nor the Demon Tree Warrior, but this War Beast MO Ye that could continuously regenerate its severed limbs.
Even the high-ranking Commander-level Mang Lion at the Sixth Rank Fourth
Stage was defeated by this Five Rank War Beast MO Ye. These Fifth Rank Shadow Hair Monsters, even if their number doubled, would have a hard time causing real damage to it.
As expected, when the War Beast MO Ye initially plunged into the midst of the dozen or so Shadow Hair Monsters, it was obviously surrounded and attacked. Its Ink Armor suffered continuous damage, but as the number of Shadow Hair Monster slightly decreased, the War Beast MO Ye’s fearless spirit was fully displayed. It ignored all the other damage while facing four or five fast-moving Shadow Hair Monsters before it and launched a fierce attack on one of them!
“Boom!!!”
The Crushing Claw was swung, and the Mo-colored claws penetrated the Shadow Hair Monster’s chest. Instantly, a b.l.o.o.d.y hole burst open in the monster’s chest, turning its bones and internal organs to dust.
After killing a Shadow Hair Monster, the War Beast MO Ye was quickly forced to the edge of the slope by six Shadow Hair Monsters. At this time, it demonstrated its strong resistance to attack, and the wounds on its body showed signs of healing despite the continuous attacks by the six Shadow Hair Monsters.
“Pupa Ning!”
An elegant spell sounded softly from the side.
A brown radiance slowly rose, pa.s.sing by the Shadow Hair Monsters that were changing their positions swiftly and landed on the besieged War Beast MO Ye.
The Ink Armor on the War Beast MO Ye was an insect attribute armor, and the Soul Skill Pupa Ning just happened to allow insect-type soul pets with this kind of armor to secrete a fast-solidifying liquid that would increase the defense of the outer sh.e.l.l by about 30%.
The effect of the Pupa Ning skill cast by Ye Qingzi was much stronger than the normal skill. When it fell on the War Beast MO Ye, its defense was increased directly to the sixth level.
The resistance of the War Beast MO Ye was already strong, and its vitality was even more tenacious. Now that its defense had been raised to the sixth level, although the attacks of the Shadow Hair Monsters would still leave wounds on its body, they would quickly heal.
Chu Mu glanced at Ye Qingzi, who seemed to have cast the soul skill out of concern tor n1S soul pet.
“Your MO Ye has strong vitality and self-healing abilities,” Ye Qingzi said as she controlled her Pan Wood Spirit to restrict the faster Shadow Hair Monsters. The Pan Wood Spirit had been casting Wood Array around everyone from the beginning of the fight, so the five of them only needed to stand in this area and calmly command their soul pets to fight without worrying about being ambushed by the Shadow Hair Monsters.
“Yeah, but there are some drawbacks to the beast attribute,” Chu Mu replied. As he spoke, Chu Mu had the War Beast MO Ye break free from the corner and cast Death Light, bombarding two Shadow Hair Monsters at the edge of the slope to the bottom of the cliff.
While speaking, Ye Qingzi was also controlling her Pan Wood Spirit to restrict the faster Shadow Hair Monsters. The Pan Wood Spirit had been using Entangle skill from the beginning to the end, and this skill was the key factor in this battle. Often, with one skill from Pan Wood Spirit, four Shadow Hair Monsters would be restricted, unable to move. After that, any of the other four people’s soul pets just needed to aim at their weaknesses and unleash a skill, making it difficult for the entangled Shadow Hair Monsters to survive.
“Roar!!!!!”
The War Beast MO Ye ran a lightning path strangely in a ten-meter distance, and its black pupils locked onto the last Shadow Hair Monster. As it approached the monster, the spikes of its Ink Armor suddenly protruded!
One black Ink Armor spike after another, like bone spikes, easily pierced through the Fifth Rank Ninth Stage Shadow Hair Monster’s body, and blood gushed out of the monster’s body immediately.
“I’ll collect the soul cores, and you guys check if there’s any springwater in the cold pool,” said Chu Xing.
Everyone else nodded, commanding their soul pets to walk slowly towards the horrifying slope that extended outward.
Ye Wansheng was in the front, and his Starfield Devil Steed was very agile, maintaining balance even on the heavily inclined slope.
“Hehe, we’re in luck. There’s a Fifth Level Cold Spring Pool here, but it’s a bit small. It’s only worth about 100,000 gold coins.” Ye Wansheng jumped off his Starfield Devil Steed and stood by the small cold pool with a diameter of less than four meters, a smile on his face.
The small cold pool was about five meters deep, resembling a huge well. The pool was almost dry, with only a few crystal-clear droplets at the bottom.
It was said that a long time ago, the various cold pools in the Sin -Origin Mountain range were filled with cold spring water. However, due to various changes, the amount of cold spring water had gradually diminished to the point that almost every cold pool was now in a state of depletion. Having even a little bit of dampness was considered a good harvest for Soul Pet Masters.
“Let’s collect it.” Chu Ning took out a medicine bottle, recited a spell, and slowly extracted the Cold Spring Pool water at the bottom of the pool using water control into the medicine bottle.
The medicine bottle was only about the size of a palm. After Chu Ning pumped all the cold spring water, it was just enough to fill two medicine bottles. Such a small amount of cold spring water was worth 100,000 gold coins.
At first, Chu Mu thought there would be a lot more cold spring water to gather. Seeing only the tiny amount of liquid in Chu Ning’s hand, he couldn’t help but give a bitter smile. He used soul sense to communicate with Fox Elder, “You told me to soak in the cold pool before to cool down my soul. How much cold spring water do you think I would need to do that? How much gold do you think it would cost?”
Fox Elder scratched his head awkwardly and said softly, “There are still cold pools filled with cold spring water in the Sin-Origin Mountain range. This is a fifth-level cold spring water. The sixth-level cold spring water would have a better effect. If you could find a seventh-level cold pool with a sufficient amount of cold spring water, the Young Master would be able to purify his soul. Of course, if there isn’t enough, the Young Master could dilute it with water and soak in it during normal baths, which would be beneficial to your health.”
Two small bottles of fifth-level cold spring water cost 100 ,ooo gold coins. Even it it were to be mixed with regular water tor a bath, not everyone could attord such luxury.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the group of five continued their journey. The next cold pool was not far from the first, about two hours away. Fortunately, only a small group of warrior-level soul pets inhabited it. The five of them did not need to switch soul pets and quickly eliminated them, gaining another batch of fifth-level cold spring water worth around 100,000 gold coins.
On the map, there were about ten cold pool springs along the way. Following this route, they should be able to obtain cold spring water worth about 2 million gold coins.
For many soul pet masters and even some small clans, 2 million gold coins was a considerable amount. However, there were five people in this team, so on average, each person would only have about 400,000 gold coins.
Chu Mu’s soul pets’ food expenses for one month alone were nearly 400,000 gold coins. So, when they found nothing after searching for the fifth cold pool, all five of them were considering changing their route.
Chu Xing and Chu Ning’s original route was rather conservative. After all, it was unwise to risk searching for more valuable cold pools without enough strength. However, with Chu Mu joining their team, they felt the need to change their route and challenge cold pools with greater value, especially with the surprising addition of the Ye Family siblings, who increased their team’s strength even further.
“There’s no need to look for fifth-level cold pools anymore. After half a day of searching, we’ve only obtained about 25 thousand gold coins per person, which is quite disappointing. I think we shouldn’t consider anything lower than sixth-level cold pools,” Chu Mu said.
“I have no objections. Actually, I prefer hiding at some intersection where many people would have to pa.s.s by and rob those who are returning with their gains. It’s faster that way,” Ye Wansheng chuckled.
Chu Xing looked over at everyone and, seeing that n.o.body had any objections, agreed, “In that case, let’s change our route.”
Chu Xing had two backup maps. The first map was of their original route, with a complete route and specific cold pool markings.
The second map only had a vague description of the terrain, roughly marking the locations of the more valuable cold pool springs. If they followed this map to search for these cold pools, they should be able to find them, but they would certainly encounter greater obstacles along the way, as they would likely pa.s.s through many soul pet territories.
“There’s a rather large sixth-level cold pool nearby. In my opinion, this cold pool is already being targeted by other teams. If we decide to go there, we should be prepared for a battle,” Chu Xing pointed out on the map.
“Fighting is what I love most. It’s no fun bullying those slow-witted wild soul pets,” Ye Wansheng raised both hands in agreement.
Ye Qingzi had no objections. She usually agreed with whatever decision Ye Wansheng made, although the ways they showed their agreement were different. While Ye Wansheng was excited, Ye Qingzi reluctantly agreed, as she didn’t seem to enjoy fighting with others very much.
“Here, it’s inevitable that we’ll eventually clash with other teams. Instead of deliberately avoiding them, it’s better to confront them head-on. Otherwise, the valuable cold pools will fall into their hands. Spirit Items should be fought for,” Chu Mu was not a kind person and firmly believed in fighting for what they wanted.
