Chapter 484: 357: Spoils of War After the Bloody Battle

Under the sparse starlight and hazy moonlight, the vast Gobi desert remains empty. Only the traces of fresh blood smeared across it stand out distinctly.

Zhan Ye and Night Thunder Dream Beast have already been recalled into Chu Mu’s Soul Pet Space. Chu Mu leans against a broken wall, the exhaustion of his Soul Power rendering him unable to muster any strength. Combined with the excessive bleeding from his wounds, the seven-day and seven-night siege left Chu Mu feeling unusually exhausted.

Chu Mu’s exhaustion is of Soul Power, which comes from the soul. His soul is now incredibly weak, and he can only rest here to recover gradually.

Chu Mu’s soul pets exhausted their combat power. After Zhan Ye and Night Thunder Dream Beast swallowed the Level-8 healing potions Chu Mu had given them once the battle ended, they fell into a deep sleep in Chu Mu’s Soul Pet Space. They likely would not wake up for three full days and nights.

Mo Ye’s situation isn’t as optimistic, but it must continue to persevere. If it enters the Soul Pet Space as well, there would be no one to protect Chu Mu, which would be extremely dangerous for a Soul Pet Master.

The corpses of four Horror Wolves lay not far from Chu Mu. Although the battle was won, Chu Mu had no energy left to collect the spoils of war. He could only first attend to his soul pets’ wounds, allow the blood-spattered pets to return to space to heal, and then get some much-needed rest to rejuvenate his soul.

“Wuu wuu wuu” In the form of the Nine-tailed Flame Fox, Mo Ye’s fluffy tail, stained with blood, spread on the ground. It surrounded Chu Mu, serving as a makeshift bed for him.

“Sleep. This place should be relatively safe until daylight.” Chu Mu petted Mo Ye’s fluffy ear.

“Wuu” Mo Ye lifted its head, its delicate tongue gently licking the deep wound on Chu Mu’s arm. Its saliva worked to heal Chu Mu’s wound.

Entering the territory of the Horror Wolves was outside of Chu Mu’s plans, and he had used up all the potions he brought along. Chu Mu’s exhaustion came from his energy, and since his pets were engaged in close combat, his wounds were not very crucial to him.

“It’s fine, we’ll recover soon.” Chu Mu knew what Mo Ye wanted to say and smiled reassuringly.

One benefit of the half-demon’s fusion with Chu Mu was that it had significantly strengthened Chu Mu’s physical condition. Although he had several fresh wounds, Chu Mu wouldn’t need to use any healing potions. The constant scorching of his soul by high-temperature spirits meant that he barely felt the pain.

“Wuu” Mo Ye obediently closed its eyes. Mo Ye was also extremely exhausted. It had fought the most and killed the most Horror Wolves during the seven days and seven nights. When Chu Mu soothed it to sleep, Mo Ye curled up lightly at Chu Mu’s side and fell asleep.

Completely out of combat power, Chu Mu sat on the vast, desolate Gobi Desert and slowly opened his eyes. His profound black eyes glimpsed the distant horizon through the darkness. At this moment, like his soul pets, he exuded an unprecedented exhaustion and solemnity….

“Hoo hoo hoo hoo”

The night wind that became cold near dawn carried various particles that beat against Chu Mu’s face.

Sitting under the broken wall, Chu Mu, who was staring into the darkness with his black eyes, appeared like a lone wolf. He knew where he was heading next.

However, Chu Mu’s destination was simply a habit, a habit of constantly moving forward, constantly getting stronger. When he sat, covered in wounds, in an unfamiliar place, some emotions that he inherently had and deliberately buried would uncontrollably surge up, leaving Chu Mu lost in thought….

When the hazy rays of dawn fell from the horizon, Chu Mu continued to doze in a daze.

When Chu Mu opened his eyes, he was greeted by the bright red sunrise.

The sunrise did not give Chu Mu a feeling of splendid charm or breathtaking beauty, but rather like a pair of blood-red pupils hanging high in the somewhat hazy sky…

The sunlight has shined onto Chu Mu, who slowly stood up. His attention was drawn to the bodies of the four wolves on the ground.

Chu Mu didn’t wake up the overly exhausted Mo Ye but walked toward the four bodies on his own, to collect the wealth from their remains.

A body of a Ninth Rank Low-Grade Horror Wolf, its soul core, internal organs, claw blade, etc. could be sold for approximately 500,000 gold coins, while a ninth rank Mid-Grade Horror Wolf could generally be sold for 1,000,000 gold coins.

Just from killing Horror Wolves, Chu Mu had earned approximately 10,000,000 gold coins in this period!

Chu Mu was proficient in using his soul sense to disassemble the bodies of the Horror Wolves. It was Fox Elder who taught Chu Mu to use soul sense this way, and it was only after Fox Elder reminded him did Chu Mu realize that soul sense had this use.

Quickly, Chu Mu collected the remains of the three Low-Grade Horror Wolves. Approaching the mid-grade Horror Wolf, Chu Mu suddenly noticed a few special glows flashing in the sunlight.

“What is …?” Chu Mu was taken aback, his eyes following the flashing light and brightening a few degrees!!

The glow of the Soul Crystal!!

This is the long-lost glow of the Soul Crystal!!

A surge of elation swept through Chu Mu. Even though the probability of finding a Soul Crystal was extremely low, Chu Mu had been engaged in relentless slaughter for more than half a year without finding an Eighth Level Soul Crystal. In this situation, one couldn’t help but feel incredibly unlucky.

However, the appearance of the Soul Crystal finally lifted the gloom of not getting any Soul Crystals from the monsters Chu Mu killed!

In fact, it wasn’t that Chu Mu hadn’t obtained any Soul Crystals in the past half year. He had a fair amount of Level 6 and Level 7 Soul Crystals. However, since the price of the Seventh Level Soul Crystal was only about 1.5 million, even upon receiving it, it still seems insignificant to Chu Mu.

However, the price of the Eighth Level Soul Crystal produced by the Eighth Rank Commander fluctuates between 15 million to 20 million. And the Mountain Commander’s Eighth Level Soul Crystal price is certainly above 30 million. Adding the 10 million obtained from collecting the Horror Wolf corpses, Chu Mu now possessed over 40 million gold coins from his infiltrating in the Horror Wolf Territory. This substantial amount is enough to buy a Spirit Item to enhance the strength of his Soul Pet!

“Mmmmmmmmmm”

Mo Ye seemed to sense Chu Mu’s excitement. He opened his sleepy eyes and trotted over to Chu Mu. Upon seeing Chu Mu’s hand holding the Soul Crystal, stained with blood, Mo Ye also let out a jubilant cry.

“Young Master, there should be something else in the territory of these four horror wolves. You can have a look around. Of course, don’t risk treading into the territories of other horror wolves. With your current state, if a Ninth Rank Horror Wolf appears again, you don’t stand a chance of making it out of here alive.” Master Li said.

After such a fierce battle, the loot was pretty good. It was enough to make Chu Mu forget about his depression from wandering into this territory.

After safely securing the Eighth Level Soul Crystal from the Horror Wolf, Chu Mu took Mo Ye into the territory of the four Horror Wolves, searching for other items of loot.

“Master Li, you have good sight, come out and have a look.” Chu Mu opened his Soul Capture Ring, and dragged Master Li out.

“Young Master…It’s so dangerous here…Alright…Okay…” Master Li wanted to back out, but after seeing Mo Ye licking his sharp claws, Master Li dared not defy and jumped to the ground with his slight body.

Master Li’s speed had always been swift. When Master Li started to search for treasures, Chu Mu saw the dust rise in this Gobi desert. In some places, the dust had not settled before Master Li began to search at another spot.

After a little while, Master Li crawled back leisurely, and said to Chu Mu, “Young Master, there are no resources like the Rock Crystal Mines here. There are many bones, though. I found a Space Ring on a human skeleton. I’m not sure what’s inside the Space Ring.”

“A Space Ring?” Chu Mu’s eyes lit up again.

The existence of a Space Ring here made it clear that it was left behind by a Soul Pet Master who happened to pass by here and was killed by a Horror Wolf. The ring might contain all the wealth the deceased Soul Pet Master possessed!

Chu Mu took the Space Ring and quickly used his soul sense to shatter the faint layer of soul protection. Chu Mu probed his soul sense into the Space Ring to see what valuable items are there inside.

“Young Master, is there anything valuable inside? Is it worth more than 100 million in total?” Master Li was also quite hopeful that there might be some treasures inside.

After Chu Mu examined it, he shook his head and said, “This Space Ring mainly contains some potions and soul cores. The valuable items are probably a few Soul Crystals and a few Elemental Crystal Stones, adding up to about 10 million.”

Upon hearing this, Master Li was quite disappointed and responded, “Such scanty possessions. This certainly does not resemble the stash of a competent Soul Pet Master. No wonder he got killed!”

In fact, Chu Mu was not disappointed. On the contrary, he was slightly surprised, because the ring contained five vials of Level 8 Healing Potions and 20 vials of Level 7 Healing Potions.

What Chu Mu needed the most was potions, and the appearance of this Space Ring came just as he was lacking in them, like sending charcoal in snow. Therefore, Chu Mu felt no need to rush back to the city. He could go for another Eighth Level bounty.

“With the potions now, Young Master, find a safe place and rest for a while. In your current state, if you’re not careful, you could be swallowed up by some Soul Pet.” Master Li suggested.

When Chu Mu was on the Prison Island, he could traverse through high-ranking Mysterious Realms without battling. He could always find a good shelter to rest and recover precisely and slowly.

Of course, relaxing in a place like the Horror Wolf Fierce Territory was nearly impossible. The territory of the Horror Wolves was primarily inhabited by Horror Wolves of the Eighth or Ninth Rank. It was challenging for Chu Mu to conceal his scent around these powerful Soul Pets, even if he buried himself underground. Unlike the Wind Element Soul Pets that are restricted underground, these Horror Wolves do not have such widespread Wind Element skills. Their claws could easily tear the ground apart.

Though Chu Mu was able to travel through high-ranking Mysterious Realms, he could only do so in places where there were no powerful Soul Pets. It took considerable experience and courage to find this kind of place in the Eighth-Level Mysterious Realm.
