Chapter 162 Abandoned city, the disaster of the lair
"Young Master, it's really too dangerous to go out like this. That kid was in Wan Duanzhang Valley. If he was going to die, he would have died long ago. If he hadn't died, he would definitely not die. It shouldn't matter if he goes later." Mr. Li said.
Er said to Chu Mu with his soul thought.
Chu Mu naturally knew that this old guy was greedy for life and afraid of death, so why would he listen to him? He directly added 10% soul protection to the soul catching ring to prevent this old guy from escaping again.
"Young Master, please don't, you forgot, you haven't received the rewards for winning the top three places. If you just walk away like this, you two will give away something worth 10 million yuan." Mr. Li immediately
screamed.
If Chu Mu added a layer of soul protection to the soul capturing ring, it would be very difficult for it to escape from the soul capturing space on its own.
When Mr. Li said this, Chu Mu actually remembered that he had to take the free reward. After all, he and Ye Qingzi had to fight several times to get it.
"In this case, you stay here and wait for the end of the Zhehuang to find Old Man Tu and get the reward, and then come to find me in Wan Duan Zhe Valley." Chu Mu said.
"Young Master, this is not good. If you have any shortcomings, how can I explain it to Her Highness..." Old Li said.
Chu Mu was too lazy to talk to Mr. Li, so he directly put this weird demon soul pet in Chu Xian's place and let Chu Xian look at it.
"Chu Mu, please think about it again. Don't rush. It's really dangerous outside." Chu Xian didn't pay attention to the weird old man. He pulled Chu Mu aside and said worriedly.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Chu Mu stroked her cheek and smiled.
"But..." Chu Xian wanted to say something else, but looking at Chu Mu's eyes, she didn't know what to say.
"Then I'm leaving. If you encounter any trouble in the future, just go to Elder Tu and he will help you solve it." Chu Mu said. After saying that, Chu Mu gave Chu Xian a gentle hug and moved toward him.
Go to the back of the Stone Palace Hall.
Chu Xian could only nod and watched Chu Mu leave, looking disappointed.
In fact, Chu Xian was not only worried about Chu Mu's safety, but also concerned about Chu Mu's departure. She could guess that Chu Mu was going to a far away place, and she felt that she would never have the chance to see Chu Mu again when he left this time.
Chu Mu is dead.
"Chu Xian, why did you let him go like this?" Chu Qian suddenly ran behind Chu Xian and said to Chu Xian.
Chu Xian was stunned for a moment, glanced at Chu Qian and said, "He insists on leaving. There shouldn't be any danger."
"Who said this? If he can escape from the ninth-level monarch, he will definitely not be in danger. I mean, even if you don't keep him, you should go with him. Don't think that I can't see what you are thinking.
"
Chu Xian shook his head: "It's impossible for us."
...I walked slowly along the stone steps to the back of the stone hall. The entire stone hall was so quiet that I could only hear the footsteps of Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi.
"I can see that she is very reluctant to let you go. Isn't it bad that you left without saying anything?" Ye Qingzi is a woman, so she can naturally see that the relationship between Chu Mu and Chu Xian is not as simple as brother and sister.
"It's not good to talk too much." A hint of bitterness appeared on Chu Mu's face.
For the person he liked at the beginning, Chu Mu felt that only the lingering kiss was enough. After all, he liked Chu Xian in the beginning just because of her tenderness towards him. Now many of Chu Mu's thoughts have matured and he knows
What she really needs is not a sister she loved in her youth. If she involves too much, it will delay her.
"Where's that princess? Don't you need to say hello to her? Aren't you her close guard?" Ye Qingzi asked curiously.
Ye Qingzi could also tell that Chu Mu and Princess Jinrou also had some friendship. This friendship was very strange, and Ye Qingzi couldn't guess what it was about.
"I am no longer her close guard, and I don't like Nightmare Palace very much." Chu Mu said.
Ye Qingzi suddenly felt that Chu Mu seemed to be very straightforward when dealing with women's issues, but this crispness was a bit too decisive... Approaching the narrow door, Ye Qingzi immediately saw the astonishing signs of fragmentation in the entire stone palace.
!
The defense of the stone palace is very strong, and even the ninth-level monarchs cannot break through it. However, the small door is covered with countless cracks. How much power does this require?
"This is..." Ye Qingzi looked at Chu Mu in surprise, and for a moment she didn't know how to describe it in words. When Chu Mu asked for this stone palace, what kind of terrifying creature did he encounter!!
"It's the Ten-Winged Demonic Insect. It's almost impossible to come back." Seeing Ye Qingzi staring at him, Chu Mu had no choice but to explain casually.
"Ten-winged Demonic Insect, that's not..."
"Well, luckily when I saw it, it was still far away from me." Chu Mu said.
How could Ye Qingzi not understand the terrifying ten-winged demonic insects? She could imagine it just by looking at the cracks on this extremely solid stone temple.
"Let's go, Mr. Li said that as long as you are careful, you won't encounter a creature of this level." Chu Mu said and walked in front.
The exit was originally very narrow, but it was torn open by the power of the ten-winged demonic insect. After Chu Mu pushed aside the piled stones, he saw the slightly dim light from outside shining into the stone hall.
Chu Mu put out his soul thought and searched the surroundings to see if there were swarms of demonic insects nearby.
Chu Mu's soul thoughts can cover an area of hundreds of meters, and as long as those soul pets don't hide them deliberately, they can all sense it.
"There are only a few weak demon insects, I will go out and deal with them first," Chu Mu said.
"This is a blood bottle. After you kill the demon insect, inject your soul into this blood bottle. The blood bottle will draw the blood out of the body of the demon insect on its own." Ye Qingzi handed Chu Mu a bottle with various carvings on it.
A blood-colored bottle with strange patterns.
It was also the first time for Chu Mu to see this kind of utensil. He looked through it carefully for a while before putting it away.
After chanting the incantation, Chu Mu began to summon the Night Thunder Dream Beast.
"Ye, death light!" Chu Mu jumped on the back of the Night Thunder Dream Beast and immediately issued the order.
The night thunder dream beast's dream horn flickered with dark light, and it immediately held a gathering of death light in its mouth, and fiercely sprayed it towards the nearest demonic insect!
"boom!!!!!"
The death light exploded on the fifth-stage four-winged demonic insect. The four-winged demonic insect was immediately blasted to pieces, with flesh and blood flying everywhere!
"Let's just jump down and go around from the city to the north of the mountain." Chu Mu poured his soul into the blood bottle, and then said to Ye Qingzi.
"Well, it's impossible to fly directly over Chu Mountain." Ye Qingzi nodded. Ye Qingzi didn't have a wing-type soul pet, but even if she had a wing-type soul pet, they wouldn't dare to fly directly over Chu Mountain.
, because you are more vulnerable to attacks from demonic insects in the air.
Ye Qingzi has also summoned his own purple-shirted dream beast, jumped on the purple-shirted dream beast's back, and controlled the purple-shirted dream beast to jump directly from the almost vertical mountain cliff!
After Chu Mu eliminated several weak demon insects around him, he immediately followed Ye Qingzi and also directly drove the Night Thunder Dream Beast down.
Night Thunder Dream Beast can only step into the air for a short time during the day. However, this kind of cliff with rugged rocks is not too difficult for Night Thunder Dream Beast. As long as the falling speed is too fast, the nearby stone wall will
With just a slight buffer on the top, like a black elf, it jumps from the top of the mountain to the bottom with lightness and grace.
Not far below the main peak of Chushan Mountain is the ancient city of Wo. Looking down from a high place, the entire ancient city of Wo is shrouded in a black cloud of insects. The originally solemn and silent city looks a little lifeless and a bit...
desolate.
The two landed quickly, and several demonic insects that followed from the air were immediately eliminated by Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi's dream beasts. They turned into insect blood and poured it into Chu Mu's blood bottle.
"This is the blood volume of two..." Chu Mu smiled wryly as he shook the compressed blood that was not even covered up at the bottom of the blood bottle. He shook his head with a wry smile. The blood of 1,000 demonic insects, I really don't know how to collect it.
Until when.
"Take your time, it's everywhere..." Ye Qingzi comforted.
Going down the somewhat desolate hillside, Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi stepped into the city. However, when they looked around the city gate at close range, their expressions changed somewhat.
I remember that when they entered the city, there were many people walking around inside and outside the city gate, and many soul pet masters were driving their mounts on the wide road.
But now, what is displayed in front of them is a city gate that is extremely depressed and can even be described as miserable.
The city buildings themselves were not seriously damaged, but debris and garbage were piled messily on the streets, and the smell was overwhelming.
What makes people feel a bit chilly is that many rotting corpses and skeletons are scattered everywhere, on the streets, on rooftops, on city walls, and the blood stains have added a shocking stain to this desolate city.
Blood red.
The city gate already looked like this. I don't know how many people in this city were killed by the disaster. As they entered, Ye Qingzi's face became increasingly pale.
"Let's pass through this city quickly." Ye Qingzi's face became increasingly ugly. Apparently too many people died unexpectedly, which cast a thick haze over her.
"Yes." Chu Mu asked the Night Thunder Dream Beast to speed up and speed along the main street of the city.
The city is not deserted. You can often see some soul pet masters driving soul pets passing by in a hurry, and behind them are a few demonic insects.
The city needs to be restored to its original state. Although the Demonic Insects still exist, many soul pet masters in Wo Ancient City have begun to clean up the Demonic Insects staying in Wo Ancient City to prevent these creatures from causing too much damage to the city.
"Two! Two! Wait!!" Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi were running, when suddenly a man wearing Wogu City guard clothes chased after them on a gale horse.
Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi looked around and stopped when they saw that there were no demonic insects surrounding them.
"What's the matter?" Chu Mu looked at the Wogu City guard and asked.
"You two can control the Night Thunder Dream Beast, so your strength should be quite strong. Can you please send these two rings to the tower in the east of the city?" the guard said.
Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi both looked puzzled.
Seeing the two people confused, the guard asked, "Aren't you two hunters?"
"no."
"This drought happened so suddenly that many city residents did not stock up on food for half a month in time. Considering this situation, the city lord asked us guards to start transferring food from the grain depot on the seventh day and distribute it to various urban areas.
, to prevent those residents from starving to death, but right now we are short of guard manpower, and there are not many soul pet masters who dare to go out on the seventh day, so we started to ask those hunters for help. If you two don’t think it will be too much of a delay, I will trouble you.
Send it there, after all, there is the greatest shortage of food and water in the east of the city, we... we will give a commission." The guard's words were sincere, and there was also a hint of prayer, obviously very much hoping that Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi could help him
This is busy.
Chu Mountain is in the north of the city, occupying the entire northern route. Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi also happened to be going to the east of the city, bypassing Chu Mountain and heading to Wan Duanzhi Valley in the north.
"Give it to us." Although Ye Qingzi cared about her brother, she was still able to help with such a simple effort. She immediately took two space rings containing water and food from the guards.
"Thank you so much." The guard immediately said excitedly, "I...I have to distribute food to another city. You two, be careful. The residents of Wogu City will thank you."
Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi also nodded and continued to drive the dream beast towards the east of the city.
While running towards the east of the city, Chu Mu did see many powerful city guards running around in the deserted streets along the way, and often saw their soul pets fighting against the demonic insects.
"Chu Mu, wait..." Ye Qingzi suddenly stopped walking and called out to Chu Mu who was driving the Night Thunder Dream Beast.
"What's wrong?" Chu Mu stopped and looked at Ye Qingzi.
"I seem to feel that my brother is nearby." Ye Qingzi said.
"Is he nearby? Shouldn't he be heading to Wan Duan Sting Valley? And how could you feel your brother's presence?" Chu Mu asked immediately.
"My brother and I have a pair of sibling soul pets. Their souls are connected. They can sense each other's existence within a certain distance. Just now, my soul pet told me that it sensed each other..." Ye Qingzi said.
Chu Mu only remembered that Xia Guanghan could find his own White Nightmare through soul marks, but this was the first time he had heard of compatriot soul pets who could channel each other to find each other.
"No wonder your brother left so relieved. I was also thinking about how you would find him before. Since he is in Wo Ancient City, it means that he may have been delayed for some reason and did not go to Chengwan Duanzhi Valley." Chu Mu said.
Ye Qingzi also breathed a sigh of relief. If Ye Wansheng was not in Wan Duanzhi Valley, and if his soul pet could be sensed here, it meant that he was still safe.
"You should be able to find him in this direction." Ye Qingzi pointed to another street and said to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu nodded, followed Ye Qingzi, and rushed towards Ye Wansheng's location.
Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi had now deviated from the direction to the east of the city and gradually entered the center of the city. What made Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi frown was that the further they walked towards the center of the city, the greater the number of demonic insects.
Because too many people gathered in the center of the city, many of them were unable to enter the sheltered cellars and became food for the demonic insects, causing the demonic insects to lay eggs there.
The demonic insects decompose very quickly. Generally, they can hatch out within half a month after being born from the mother's body. With so many demonic insects gathering here, they must be guarding them after they lay their eggs.
After all the demon insects have hatched, they will leave here with the little demon insects and continue to look for food elsewhere.
...Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi soon entered the bustling inner city. What surprised them was that there were many city guards around the inner city. They formed a team and used their soul pets to fight against the outwardly expanding Demonic Insects.
Fighting with strength.
"You two, don't come any closer. If you want to hunt the Demonic Insects, go somewhere else." A man driving a bright horned beast immediately stopped Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi.
"What's going on in front? Why does it look like it was hit by a mudflow?" Chu Mu asked, looking ahead.
Passing by the battle line between the soul pets of the guards and the Demonic Insects, you can see that all the buildings and streets in the city ahead are covered in extremely sticky black semi-solid objects, which are dark and look very disgusting.
This black semi-solid object spread over a large area, turning the entire bustling city into the ugliest and most terrifying ruins.
"This is the nest of the Demonic Insects. There is a group of Demonic Insects that have settled here. In short, this place is very dangerous. Don't come any closer," the man said.
"Qingzi, is he inside?" Chu Mu glanced at Ye Qingzi and asked.
"Well, it's inside." Ye Qingzi nodded with a pale face.
If that place has become a nest of demonic insects, then the people hiding in the cellar will be suffocated under the cellar due to the insect poison and lack of air. If they are not dealt with as soon as possible, they will definitely die.
"A friend of mine is inside, is there any way to rescue him?" Chu Mu asked.
"Hmph, my wife and children are also inside, but what can I do? The city lord is already dispatching experts, hoping that some experts can come and deal with the monarch. However, the entire Wo Ancient City is so big, and countless demonic insects have gathered.
, dozens of Demonic Insect nests have fallen into the city, and many masters must be dispatched to clean each Demonic Insect nest, which is not easy..." the man said in a heavy tone.
Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi both frowned. There must be a powerful demon insect at the monarch level in this demon insect nest. Even if the strength of this demon insect is not as strong as the ninth-level monarch that Chu Mu encountered, it is not far behind.
It's really hard to beat it.
In addition, a nest of demon insects is surrounded by thousands of demon insects. The most important thing is that the level and stage of the demon insects that can lay eggs are definitely not low. Even if Chu Mu becomes semi-demon again and uses the nine-level powerful Sky Flame Ritual
