Chapter 81: Chapter 81: The Blood Beast, Yang Family

Translator: 549690339

Chu Mu’s spiritual strength was almost depleted, and for safety reasons, he dared not wander around. After finding a tree hole, he hid inside it.

In a fortunate turn of events, just as Chu Mu found this small dwelling, a fine rain had started to fall on the island, wetting the entire jungle.

The tree hole was probably left by some climbing creature. A little dry grass was inside. Chu Mu sat in the tree hole with MO Ye in his arms, and from this position, he could see the sky of the island that was always obscured by fog.

The Prison Island’s visibility was very narrow. The overcast skies compounded the feeling of depression. As he watched the dim jungle and the sky curtain, Chu Mu gradually started to space out.

His thoughts began to drift with the misty rain; images of the past couldn’t help but emerge in his mind, his expression becoming gradually melancholic…

From a young age, Chu Mu had been living with his father, Chu Tiancheng. To

Chu Mu, Chu Tiancheng was like both a teacher and a friend. In front of Chu Tiancheng, Chu Mu didn’t have the typical restraint and reverence towards an elder; instead, there were more exchanges of peace and genuine smiles. Chu Mu possessed his current calmness and wisdom at the age of fifteen, thanks to his father’s teaching.

Even though Chu Mu would often behave impertinently in front of Chu Tiancheng, sometimes even make sarcastic remarks or pour cold water on his father’s ideas, Chu Mu held a deep reverence in his heart for his father. He revered his rich life experience, wise mind, and powerful strength.

Chu Mu enjoyed this kind of life. Despite having a risky initial soul contract which almost made it impossible for him to become a Soul Pet Master, Chu Mu had never truly despaired, because of the constant encouragement from his father, Chu Tiancheng…

However, their peaceful life was short-lived. The decline of the clan turned the smile that was often seen on his father’s face into a hurried figure seen from behind. There were only short words, or maybe just a note with one or two lines…

Chu Mu wasn’t the kind of child who clung to his parents. He had gradually learned to be independent and started to understand that this clan needed not only the support of the elders, but also the promising next generation to give hope to the clan’s future.

At about the age of ten, Chu Mu had more contact with the peers from other clans. Various comparisons, competitions, and intrigues often occurred among these teenagers…

However, the first soul contract and the mysteriously lost second soul contract deprived Chu Mu the capital to compete with his peers…

“First soul contract…” When this crossed his mind, Chu Mu appeared lost and bitter.

Every time Chu Mu thought of the first soul contract, a wave of emotion would surge in his heart…

The first soul contract was a big shadow in Chu Mu’s heart. This shadow made Chu Mu feel a dull pain in his heart every time he remembered it, along with a bit of stirred up anger and determination…

Many times, Chu Mu would associate his first soul pet with his mother. Not because they had a particular connection, but because they evoked similar feelings in him.

Chu Mu’s memory of his mother’s face had become somewhat vague. In his memory, she was always immersed in her own affairs. She had a set of beautiful but indifferent facial features, appeared as a beautiful mother, yet rarely laughed.

This cold and proud mother often went out. She would only show up once or twice every few years. Chu Mu remembered that the last time he saw her was probably when he was twelve years old. Until now, three and a half years had passed. Chu Mu was sure that she didn’t even know about her son’s disappearance and death.

Thinking of this, Chu Mu couldn’t help but shake his head. His emotions towards his mother were very faint. Chu Mu didn’t even know her name, only heard his father call by her nickname. The clan members never called her by the real name either, they had always weirdly addressed her as Madam Chu. To Chu Mu, besides leaving a fuzzy memory of a beautiful and proud figure, she didn’t leave anything else…

The drizzling rain was still falling. Without the prompting of a strong wind, the rain curtain looked clear. One could see the wet trees in their whole silhouette. Between the trees, occasionally, some soul pets who could not bear the rain would bravely spread their wings, fly towards the grey sky curtain to look for more suitable dwellings.

The drizzle lasted for about two days. During these two days, besides meditating, Chu Mu also managed to learn the soul skill – Riding Wind.

Riding Wind, the skill in question, would, at the very least, allow Chu Mu to run a bit faster, but its main use was to increase the speed of his Soul Pet.

Riding Wind was a Soul Apprentice Skill; although Chu Mu did not find it challenging to learn, he was frustrated to discover that his White Nightmare Demon had evolved another rank in the past two days.

During that one month in Heng City, the White Nightmare Demon had already evolved one rank, and during the subsequent half month on the boat with Xia Guanghan, it had evolved yet again. Now it had reached the Second Rank Fourth Stage.

Chu Mu had asked Xia Guanghan what rank the White Nightmare Demon needed to reach before it could participate in battles. Xia Guanghan had replied that it all depended on the White Nightmare Demon’s mood.

Generally speaking, most White Nightmare Demons could be summoned for battle after reaching the Third Rank. Yet, some capricious White Nightmare Demons might wait until the Fourth Rank…

All Chu Mu could do was silently pray that his White Nightmare Demon was not one of the willful ones…

In fact, Chu Mu felt it would be unwise to summon the White Nightmare

Demon for battle; given the high species ranking of the White Nightmare Demon, whether he could control it in battle with his weak soul sense was an open question.

The rain had finally stopped. Stepping out of the tree hole, the clean fresh air hit him square in the face.

Just when Chu Mu was about to take a deep breath, he was caught off guard by a pungent smell that flooded his nostrils.

“The smell of blood?” Chu Mu’s brow furrowed immediately, and he cautiously hid behind the tree with MO Ye.

As soon as Chu Mu found a hiding place, a man smeared with blood leapt out from a low tree crown not far away. A Second Rank Barbarian Dog, also covered in fresh blood, was running alongside him!

“Swoosh!”

Suddenly, a blood light streaked across from the low tree crown and passed parallel to the ground, hitting the barbarian dog and slicing it in half on the spot, leaving its innards and bones fully exposed to the air. The scent of the fresh kill added to the already stifling stench in the jungle after the rain.

The next instant, a creature covered in robust hair as red as fresh blood leapt out from the tree. This Soul Pet stood at two meters, was muscular and robust with no tail, had a wolflike skull, and red horns like a wild bull.

“Blood Beast!”

Upon seeing the Blood Beast, Chu Mu was immediately taken aback.

The Blood Beast was one of the four mainstream Soul Pets in Gangluo City. The clan it belonged to was the dominant Yang Family in Gangluo City. This clan, with their Beast Clan Blood Beast Soul Pet, had made a name for themselves and had dominated a vast territory.

Blood Beast: Demon Beast World – Beast Clan – Blood Beast Clan – Sub-tribe of Blood Beasts – Medium War General grade.

The Blood Beast is best known for its skills: “Bloodthirsty” and “Blood Frenzy”. In the state of Bloodthirsty, the combat power of the Blood Beast increases, and it becomes fearless.

Even scarier is Blood Frenzy. In this condition, the Soul Pet enters an insane-like state. Once it gets locked onto a target, it becomes unusually savage and violent, instantly upgrading its combat power regardless of the cost during battle.

“The Yang Family… Why would they throw their people onto this island, and who could it be!” Chu Mu immediately recognized that this Blood Beast belonged to the Yang Family because it had their unique mark on its forehead..
