Chapter 286: Chapter 164: Entering the Demon Insect Nest (Part 1)

Translator: 549690339

Even in the early morning, Wogu City was still shrouded in a layer of shadows, dark and unclear. When looking up at the sky, they always saw some unusual black clouds that covered the city and the surrounding mountains.

The sky was quite low, and they could always see some creatures with multiple fleshy wings fluttering in the air, diving down from time to time, excitedly attacking their prey, and filling their stomachs…

Chu Mu woke up early in the morning, but when he opened his eyes, he didn’t see Ye Qingzi.

“Splish splash——“

Suddenly, the sound of water came from the bathroom. As Chu Mu looked over, he saw Ye Qingzi coming out, soaking wet.

“You should take a bath too.” Ye Qingzi said to Chu Mu with a smile.

Chu Mu was still lost in thought.

It was obvious that Ye Qingzi had just taken a bath, her hair was wet, and there were some crystal-clear water droplets on her fair shoulders, slowly sliding over her smooth jade arms.

Ye Qingzi is naturally beautiful. After tidying up her hair and washing off the fatigue, she looked even more stunning, easily enchanting anyone who sees her.

It was normal for Chu Mu to be lost in thought as any man would daydream when such a bathing beauty smiles at him and says seductively, “You should take a bath too.”

“When you bathe, apply this medicine on your body and clothes. This way, you won’t be corroded by the poisonous liquid, and it can also help hide your aura, making it safer.” Ye Qingzi walked up to Chu Mu and handed him a small medicine bottle, noticing that his eyes seemed a bit strange.

“Oh, alright.” After hearing Ye Qingzi’s words, Chu Mu was embarrassed as he realized he had let his mind wander. He hurriedly took the medicine bottle from Ye Qingzi and walked into the other bathroom.

“Do you use ice to bathe?” Ye Qingzi asked Chu Mu, watching him walk hastily into the screen.

“No…” Chu Mu turned his head, looking at Ye Qingzi puzzled, not knowing why she would ask that.

“I remember you only have an Ice-feathered Spirit, and it seems you don’t have any water-related Soul Skills.” said Ye Qingzi.

“Well…” Chu Mu scratched his head awkwardly.

City bathing pools are now in a state of disrepair, and although they are still bathing pools, there is no water in them.

It seemed that Ye Qingzi used her soul pet Water Moon to cleanse herself, while Chu Mu, whose thoughts were preoccupied moments earlier, hastily walked into the bathroom without considering the water issue.

“Moon, give him some water.” Ye Qingzi smiled and let Water Moon follow Chu

Chu Mu saw Ye Qingzi smile and knew that she didn’t mind his staring at her just now. He calmly entered the pool, undressed…

Ye Qingzi gave Chu Mu a Level 7 Demon Fragrance Liquid, which was quite expensive. When traveling outside, if you don’t want to be troubled by soul pets, carrying this aura-concealing medicine is essential. Moreover, it also has some effect on poison resistance.

After his bath, Chu Mu felt more refreshed. He put on clean clothes, then he left with Ye Qingzi.

They arrived at the same place as yesterday. When Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi arrived, there were already about thirty Wogu City Soul Pet Masters waiting there.

“Strange, it seems that the number of Demon Worms has decreased.”

“Yes, yesterday when we walked here, we could see many demon worms, but this morning, they seem sparse.”

The Soul Pet Masters were all whispering, as they noticed something abnormal about this day’s Demon Worm nest.

“Zhang Qian, are they the couple you mentioned?” A man who seemed somewhat formidable spotted Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi first, and immediately asked the guard leader Zhang Qian.

“Yes, he is the famous Prison Island King — Chu Mu. I don’t know much about the woman, but yesterday she was controlling a Seventh-rank Purple Robe

Dream Beast, and she is a spirit master.” zhang (Ilan nodded and greeted chu Mu and Ye Qingzi as they approached.

Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi entered the team, and it seemed that Zhang Qian had already promoted Chu Mu. Everyone’s eyes fell on Chu Mu, curious as to what was so special about this young man who had recently become famous.

“Let me introduce you. This is our leader for the task of clearing out the Heavenly Devil Insect Lair this time – Meng Huazhong, a well-known figure in the Wogu City Soul Pet Palace. This is my friend, the Guard Captain of Wogu City’s North District Three – Feng Qi. These are my subordinates,” Zhang Qian said.

“This is the Prison Island King, Chu Mu. I don’t think I need to say much about him. Next to him is Miss Ye, a Spirit Master.”

Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi simply nodded to the crowd without saying much.

“So he’s Chu Mu…”

“Is that little fox on his shoulder the Nine -Tailed Crown Flame Fox, whose combat power is said to rival that of a Monarch?”

Zhang Qian’s subordinates were also quietly discussing among themselves, seemingly excited. After all, it was an honor to meet the recently famous Prison Island King.

“Now that everyone’s here, let’s not waste time. Rescuing people is the priority,” Team Leader Meng Huazhong only took a brief look at Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi before interrupting the crowd’s discussion.

“I’ve already explained the general situation to everyone. Be mentally prepared and stay on alert. These Sky Demon Insects are extremely ferocious. I’m warning you in advance that if someone falls behind while infiltrating the Sky Demon Insect Lair or if their soul pet is singled out, we won’t turn back to save them,” Zhang Qian sternly addressed the group.

“Understood!” Zhang Qian’s subordinates quickly adjusted their attitudes and put on serious faces.

“Second team, have your Beast Soul Pets clear the way up front. Third team, have your Winged Soul Pets control the sky. Make sure there are no gaps above us. Elemental World Soul Pets, maintain your speed. Attack isn’t the main priority—just don’t fall behind,” Zhang Qian reminded all his subordinates once again.

After making arrangements, the thirty-four people began to truly enter the Demon Worm Lair in the city district.

Soul pets have an aura; once summoned, they would definitely be detected by the Sky Demon Worms. So, the thirty-four Soul Pet Masters didn’t summon any soul pets when they first entered the Sky Demon Worm Lair. Instead, they adopted a progressive summoning method.

Chu Mu, Ye Qingzi, Zhang Qian, Feng Qi, and Meng Huazhong were responsible for dealing with stronger Six-winged Sky Demon Bugs, so their journey mainly involved Zhang Qian’s subordinates’ soul pets battling to avoid exhausting too much combat power before fighting the Six-winged Sky Demon Bugs.

As the number of Sky Demon Insects increased, Zhang Qian’s subordinates started to summon their soul pets one by one.

These Soul Pet Masters’ pets were mostly mainstream soul pets, such as

Demon Beast World Beast type: Wolf Clan, Armored Beast Clan, Blood Beast Clan, Demon Beast Clan, Abyss Beast Clan, etc. These were all mainstream soul pets, and almost every soul pet master owned one.

In addition, Insect-type Soul Pets like the Demon Insect Clan, Scorpion Clan,

Snake Clan, Battle Maggot Clan, and Wuhu Clan were also mainstream Soul Pets. Since they were dealing with Insect-type Soul Pets this time, everyone temporarily refrained from summoning Insect-type Soul Pets.

Mainstream Winged Soul Pets included: Bird Clan, Falcon Clan, Eagle Clan, Winged Demon Clan, etc.

Winged Soul Pets were almost essential for every Soul Pet Master. However, Winged Soul Pets were obviously more valuable in the Soul Pet World, and not many Soul Pet Masters owned them. Zhang Qian’s subordinates had only ten Winged Soul Pets in total.

Demon Spirit type had a more complex variety of races; very few of them had a large population like the Beast type. Therefore, there were not many so-called mainstream races for Demon Spirit type pets.

Elemental World Soul Pets were predominantly from various Elemental Spirit Clans. It could be said that they occupied more than half of the Elemental World. Most of the Elemental World Soul Pets that Zhang Qian’s subordinates summoned were from various Elemental Spirit Clans.

In the Plant World, Wood Type and Vine Family were relatively common. The mainstream races for wood type were the Demon Tree Clan and Monster Tree Clan. Vine Family races were as complex as the Demon Spirits, with very few large populations, and there were no mainstream races in the Western World.

Flower type and Grass-type were uncommon in the Western World, and there were not many Soul Pet Masters who controlled these two systems in the Western World.

“Second team, have your Beast Soul Pets handle the Sky Demon Insects on the left street,” said Zhang Qian, the Guard Captain and commander of this operation.

Three Level 6 Horror Wolves pounced first. Their Blood Split Claws swept through the air, slashing through the street corner with a striking claw blade. Immediately, three weak Two-winged Sky Demon Insects were torn to shreds.

Ice Spirits began reciting their spells one after another, and an icy chill rapidly permeated the street. In an instant, countless ice swords rained down like a torrential downpour, covering a large area, and the group of Sky Demon

Insects rushing towards the people were impaled and killed in a large swath… Broken Frozen Wings, shattered insect shells, severed limbs, and pierced skulls lay scattered on the street…

“Wuuuuuuu———-“

Among the chaotic shards of ice, MO Ye’s tail wrapped around the Compressed Blood Bottle, gracefully jumping around nimbly amid the chaos of the skills. Wherever there were more dead Sky Demon Insects, it would run to that spot, occasionally stretching out its claws to deliver a final Claw Blade strike to ensure the peaceful delivery of blood from any not-yet-dead Sky Demon Insects.

MO Ye’s cheerful scampering among the piles of corpses was naturally for collecting Sky Demon Insect blood for Chu Mu. After passing two streets, Chu Mu obtained roughly 50 Level 6 Six-winged Sky Demon Insect blood samples in a short time.

(Here’s the second chapter of today—–——-The third chapter will be written overnight, but since I won’t have time to write during the day, I’ll put this chapter out tomorrow at noon, so the update time doesn’t seem too weird.
