Chapter 479: Chapter 352: Only Through Battle Can We Survive
The desolate Horror Wolf Territory was one of the most dangerous areas in the Ancient Wasteland. Soul Pet Masters usually didn’t dare to enter this domain, and those who did rarely made it back out alive.
This wasteland was littered with corpses and bones scattered across the Gobi Desert. The only creatures that dared to survive here were inconspicuous sandworms and vultures that constantly eyed the corpses.
Walking on this b.l.o.o.d.y and bone-filled land would give anyone an eerie feeling. Once the person noticed many murderous eyes surrounding them, it meant that they were already targeted by the Death G.o.d. Soon, they would become part of the vast expanse of skeletons.
“Mo Ye, Homeless Flame Fox!”
“Boom!!! Boom!!!! Boom!!!!!!”
Forty-five long tails stretched out and tightly wrapped around the body of the Eighth-Rank High-Grade Horror Wolf. The sound of breaking bones was chilling as countless tendons were fiercely snapped by Mo Ye!!
“Awoo” This Eighth-Rank High-Grade Horror Wolf let out a painful cry. After the forty-five tails of Mo Ye disappeared, it fell to the ground weakly. Although it wasn’t dead, it had already lost its combat power and could never recover.
“Mo Ye, quickly help Ye.” Chu Mu’s voice was slightly anxious.
About a hundred meters away, the Night Thunder Dream Beast was moving with many injuries. Its Demon Spirit skill was binding a Ninth-stage initial rank Horror Wolf, which wasn’t as strong as the one Chu Mu encountered initially but could still kill them if there were any missteps.
The Night Thunder Dream Beast had barely resisted the Ninth-stage initial rank Horror Wolf for less than a minute. It mostly relied on dodging and had consequently suffered several moderate injuries that gradually affected its speed.
If the Night Thunder Dream Beast could metamorphose to the Eighth Rank, it wouldn’t have any problem dealing with a Ninth Rank Lower Stage Horror Wolf due to its Demon Spirit binding ability. The gap between ranks, however, made it impossible for the Night Thunder Dream Beast to use its skills effectively.
“Wooooooo” Mo Ye let out a demonstrative howl, like provoking the Ninth-stage initial rank Horror Wolf.
“Awoo!!!!!!” That Ninth-stage initial rank Horror Wolf quickly felt the aggressive aura coming from Mo Ye. Its fierce eyes shifted from the Night Thunder Dream Beast to Mo Ye.
Four Eighth-Rank High-Grade Horror Wolf corpses were lying near Mo Ye’s battlefield. Mo Ye had just killed the fourth one, and all four were under the command of the Ninth Rank Horror Wolf. With all its subordinates now dead, the Horror Wolf was completely enraged, and its eyes gradually turned a blood-red color!
Bloodthirsty Frenzy!!
The anger of the Horror Wolf had completely ignited its bloodthirstiness, which increased its combat power due to the bloodthirsty effect!
The Bloodthirsty Frenzy effect could perhaps increase the Horror Wolf’s strength by two or three times. The combat power of a low-grade Monarch at the Eighth Rank, lower stage should be roughly equal to a Ninth Rank Lower Stage Horror Wolf. If the opponent increased by that much, it would certainly have an advantage.
“Mo Ye, you can handle it!” Chu Mu didn’t plan to give Mo Ye the Blood Pupil Frenzy or any a.s.sistance. Mo Ye would never lose to a Soul Pet of similar strength, especially a Beast type Soul Pet!
b.l.o.o.d.y animal atmosphere and evil demonic atmosphere collided like a storm as the Horror Wolf finally launched its attack while running, causing the sands on the ground to flurry!
Mo Ye’s acceleration was very light. With a “whizzing” sound, it vanished on the spot. Afterwards, its footprints could be seen on the sand, but its figure was not visible!
“Young Master, I don’t think this is going well. Ahead, there’s a Ninth-stage Middle Grade Horror Wolf and three Ninth-stage Low-Grade Horror Wolves. You can’t get past them. If you stay where you are, more Horror Wolves will surely wander over here, leaving you with no way out.” Fox Elder was quite worried about Chu Mu’s situation.
Entering the Horror Wolf Dangerous Territory was indeed unwise. Chu Mu had been in the Horror Wolf Territory for about seven days, evading and hiding to avoid fighting powerful Horror Wolves.
But there were too many Horror Wolves here, and their sense of smell was extremely keen. Chu Mu couldn’t remain unharmed.
In these seven days, Chu Mu had to fight almost every day. His Soul Pets would get injured to some extent in every battle. Now, Chu Mu’s White Nightmare Demon, Demon Tree Warrior, and Ice-Feathered Spirit were severely injured and would need at least five days to recover.
Only Mo Ye, Zhan Ye, Night Thunder Dream Beast, and Ghost Dome King remained capable of fighting.
Chu Mu had been searching for a gap to escape this sinister land. After seven days of living on the edge, Chu Mu finally found a place to leave the Horror Wolf Territory. However, that territory was home to three Ninth-stage Low-Grade Horror Wolves and one Ninth-stage Middle Grade Horror Wolf.
At Level 8, Third Stage, Mo Ye could handle a low-ranking Horror Wolf, but it was extremely difficult to deal with two at once.
Chu Mu’s Soul Pets combined would struggle to handle three Rank 9 Low-Grade Horror Wolves, let alone a Rank 9 Middle Grade Horror Wolf. In the past, Chu Mu’s victory over a Middle Grade Horror Wolf left almost all of his Soul Pets unable to fight.
“Wuuuuu”
The nine silver tails stretched out and turned into nine tail chains, viciously hitting the Rank 9 Low-Grade Horror Wolf!
Mo Ye’s strike was very fierce, sending the Horror Wolf flying, leaving nine deep traces of blood on its body and completely losing its Bloodthirsty Frenzy effect!
Once the Horror Wolf loses its Bloodthirsty Frenzy effect, its combat power would drop drastically, and it would be the perfect time for Mo Ye to launch its attack!
Mo Ye’s attacks carried a crazy killing intent. Whenever it found the opportunity, Mo Ye could deal a fatal blow to its opponent, which was the result of Chu Mu training Mo Ye on Prison Island for three years!
As the Rank 9 Low-Grade Horror Wolf grew weaker, Mo Ye’s nine tails and claw blades attacked like a storm. The wounds on the Horror Wolf’s body multiplied in an instant, while its deep blue color was full of blood, and the fierce eyes gradually turned into fear and panic.
Nine-tailed Dragon Annihilation!!
Mo Ye’s nine magnificent tails stirred, and the Horror Wolf could no longer escape. Its flesh and blood turned into chunks of meat under the powerful force of the nine tails. Fresh blood rained down and splashed on the sands…
Mo Ye bathed in the fresh blood, a few drops splashing on its silver fur, completely showcasing the demonic fox temperament it exuded during battle and giving off a strong, intimidating aura of a powerful Evil Fox King.
After killing the Rank 9 Low-Grade Horror Wolf, Mo Ye slowly walked towards Chu Mu, dragging its nine long silver tails behind it.
Mo Ye knew that the real b.l.o.o.d.y battle had not yet begun. In fact, once the slaughter began, Mo Ye never minded staining its clean, silver fur with the enemy’s blood, no matter how smelly or pungent it was.
Chu Mu gently patted Mo Ye’s head and let it take a Level 7 Healing Potion.
Mo Ye’s injuries were not too severe, and being used to fighting, Mo Ye knew how to protect itself better than Chu Mu’s other Soul Pets. The pampered White Nightmare Demon was a typical example.
The White Nightmare Demon was a Middle-Grade Monarch at Rank 7, Ninth Stage, and Mo Ye was a Low-Grade Monarch at Rank 8, Third Stage. Their combat power was actually not much different.
In the seven days that they had been in the Horror Wolf Territory, Mo Ye had not been involved in many battles. In the end, the heavily injured White Nightmare Demon returned to the Soul Pet s.p.a.ce, while Mo Ye could still fight. And the upcoming battle was mainly relying on Mo Ye; without it, Chu Mu would not stand a chance of winning.
“We can only rest here for a day at most. Afterwards, no matter what, we have to fight those four Horror Wolves,” Chu Mu said as he stroked Mo Ye’s b.l.o.o.d.y fur.
Chu Mu had arrived at this spot on the sixth day, but he was not confident in fighting the four Horror Wolves. Unfortunately, this was the only way to leave the Horror Wolf Territory. Going elsewhere would either lead deeper into the Horror Wolf Territory or to areas inhabited by even more Horror Wolves.
If they were to try to pa.s.s through, Chu Mu had faith in the speed of the Night Thunder Dream Beast and could possibly escape without having to kill all the Horror Wolves.
However, the territory of these four Horror Wolves was shaped like a narrow strip. If Chu Mu wanted to ride the Night Thunder Dream Beast straight through, he would need enough s.p.a.ce to avoid the Horror Wolves’ frontal attacks.
Annoyingly, there were other Horror Wolves lurking around the four, and if Chu Mu’s detour was too wide, he would be noticed by the surrounding Horror Wolves, resulting in him not only facing four Horror Wolves.
So, the safest way was to lure the four Horror Wolves to the current location, which Chu Mu had deliberately cleared of a Rank 9 Low-Grade Horror Wolf and four Rank 8 High-Grade Horror Wolves. In this limited s.p.a.ce and time, Chu Mu would have to kill each Horror Wolf that blocked his escape route and only then would he have a real chance for survival!
Of course, achieving this was not easy.
Chu Mu’s Soul Pets were all seriously injured, and his own combat power was greatly reduced. Relying on Mo Ye, Battle, Night Thunder Dream Beast, and Ghost Dome King to leave the Horror Wolf Territory seemed almost impossible. Comparing their strengths alone, Chu Mu’s Soul Pets were significantly lacking, and the chances of death were nearly a hundred percent…
Chu Mu knew that this would be an extremely difficult battle, even harder than when he first entered the Eighth-level Mysterious Realm and encountered the Rank 9 Middle-Grade Horror Wolf. However, Chu Mu had no other choice but to fight, as doing so was the only chance for survival. If he were to cower, more and more Horror Wolves would surround him, and he would eventually be devoured! (To be continued.
