The Charm of Soul Pets

Chapter 1487: Creatures That Invaded Ocean Specie’s East Ocean!

Canopy Demons was passing through the dorset. Chu Mu saw countless criss-crossed trees. The branches of those trees and some vines connected together and created complicated paths like the roads in a city. Not only could humans walk on them easily, some large creatures could also easily walk on them.

Canopy Demons did not jump above the canopy, they dashed along these complicated branch roads.

They were agile and traveled like the wind. If Chu Mu did not get serious, he would easily lose them.

Chu Mu could also tell these complicated roads possessed wood type illusion formation. Once he lost sight of them, he might have to wander around here for a long time.

Canopy Demons seemed to be purposely testing Chu Mu’s ability. They kept raising their speed in this demonic forest and changed their paths more and more frequently. In many occasions, once Chu Mu caught up, he could only see the afterimages left by those three Canopy Demons.

If they competed in a wide place without obstacles, Chu Mu could easily surpass those three Canopy Demons. However, this place was filled with intertwining plants and became a big obstacle to Chu Mu. He almost lost those three Canopy Demons a few times.

“Hui~!”

At that moment, Chu Mu heard Night’s cry.

As the saying went, ‘itching to compete after meeting a rival’, Night probably wanted to compete against those three Canopy Demons personally.

The terrain was suitable for Night after all. Chu Mu did not hesitate and chanted the incantation to summon Night.

After jumping onto Night’s back, the black figure of Night instantly dashed forward. Its real figure could not be seen under the shade. Only a white-feathered tail left behind a trail of its dash!

Night was much faster in direction changing than Chu Mu. Dashing in such an environment was definitely Night’s specialty.

If Night knew the path, it could easily overtake those three Canopy Demons.

“Big brother is a cheater. Why did you summon Night?” Ning Maner saw Chu Mu catching up and pouted.

She finally enjoyed a brief moment of making Chu Mu chase after her, yet he caught up so soon. It was really boring.

Chu Mu knew the speed of Immortal rank. They had yet to reach the end of the forest after such a while of dashing. One could imagine just how vast this Heavenly Realm forest was.

After advancing for another while, this game of chase finally ended. A towering tree appeared in front of Chu Mu.

Chu Mu remembered that Ten Thousand Eyed Treant in Eastern Wild Forest was already enormous. It could be said that its canopy could act as clouds.

However, compared to this towering tree, Ten Thousand Eyed Treant was just like a sapling!

Canopy Demons led Chu Mu and Ning Maner up the tree trunk of this towering tree. There were some tree holes at the branching spots. Those tree holes looked like caves.

After entering a tree hole, there were paths leading to all directions, as well as nests of various Demon creatures.

Chu Mu could see some creatures running around the internal paths. There seemed to be even bigger spaces in the depth. Sunlight would occasionally shine down. It felt like entering a dislocated castle and they were walking along the passages within the castle.

Who would have thought that such a mysterious world would be inside a tree?

“Big brother, they said Elder Li is over there,” said Ning Maner as she pointed at a pavilion-like internal treehouse.

“Alright,” Chu Mu nodded. They crossed a hollow tree vine bridge and walked towards that unique internal treehouse.

......

“You’re here,” Elder Li seemed to foresee the arrival of Chu Mu. Chu Mu heard Elder Li’s voice before even entering the house.

The treehouse had no door. They could see Elder Li wearing a strange robe immediately after entering. It was tasting something while holding a wooden bowl. A trace of sunlight shone in from the opening carved on the tree wall and fell on Elder Li. It seemed like an elderly human enjoying the afternoon break.

“Huh?” Ning Maner was surprised after seeing Elder Li, because Elder Li looked too similar to Old Li. They had the same physique and head, the only difference was that Elder Li in front of them had a longer silver beard and deeper winkles.

“Miss, you are the successor of Messiah Tree, right?” asked Elder Li with a gentle smile.

“How did you know?” Ning Maner opened her mouth in astonishment.

Elder Li just smiled and did not say anything. It turned its gaze to Chu Mu and examined him, then turning to Night next to Chu Mu.

The Blood Marks on Night had already become very obvious. The aura it released was also different from the environment. It seemed that the corpse conversion had become even more severe.

“Hmm, its aura is much stronger,” Elder Li could also sense the low class Immortal rank aura exuded by Night.

When Night forfeited the chance of entering Demonic Mound Heavenly Realm and chose to left with Chu Mu, Elder Li could not ascertain whether Chu Mu could really help Night become Immortal rank.

Now that not only did Night pass pseudo Immortal rank, it also reached low class Immortal rank. Elder Li knew the hardship of crossing the Immortal rank threshold. Night was able to cross it and become low class Immortal rank, Elder Li was satisfied.

After examining Night, Elder Li finally focused on Chu Mu. It seemed to detect the uniqueness of Chu Mu’s aura and spoke, “You’re different from last before.”

Chu Mu nodded. When he entered Demonic Mound last time, Chu Mu only had normal Devil Transformation. Now, he had become Dual Evil Half Devil, with Black Nightmare’s bloodline flowing in his body.

Black Nightmare possessed a tyrannical aura. Even though Chu Mu returned to human state, he would unconsciously exude the tyranny of Black Nightmare.

“Eternal Ocean Son showed movements?” asked Elder Li.

Honestly speaking, similarly being raccoons, Old Li often gave Chu Mu a wretched and cowardly feeling. Even though it was very knowledgeable, it lacked an intellectual demeanor Elder Li possessed.

This Elder Li seemed to know everything and was able to see through everything. It could predict without Chu Mu saying much.

“One of its subordinates awakened, it’s Extreme Sky Ice Beast,” said Chu Mu.

“Oh, those funeral goods-like supreme beings...... During the Flood Dragon era, many powerful creatures from various races and some high ranking bloodline supreme beings served it. Each of its subordinates possessed immense strength. Some were even the leaders of a generation. Extreme Sky Ice Beast should be considered a weak one amongst them,” said Elder Li.

Chu Mu believed Elder Li. He had personally been to the Wind Palace. There were many other statues with even higher bloodline or greater power than Extreme Sky Ice Beast. If those subordinates awakened at the same time, it would be a terrifying disaster to mankind!

“Fortunately, you have improved your strength rapidly. Now that you also gained the role of Messiah Tree guardian, this is both a heavy responsibility and a guarantee for your strength to improve rapidly......” said Elder Li.

Chu Mu was not really worried about getting stronger, he was worried about whether those subordinates would awaken at the same time. Perhaps even the Ancient Flood Dragon Person would awaken. He was unsure if he could really handle it by then.

Even the rather weak Extreme Sky Ice Beast was already like that.

“I want to know whether they will all awaken at the same time,” said Chu Mu.

If that was the case, he had to migrate the citizens of New Moon Land to other lands within a few years. He would rather give up New Moon Land than to let this independent population become extinct.

“How can you be sure they are still asleep?” Elder Li asked back.

Chu Mu was startled for a moment, then became engulfed in thought.

Don’t tell me all those subordinates are already awakened!

“When you’re passing through Eternal Ocean, didn’t you notice anything wrong with it?” asked Elder Li.

“I rarely come to Eternal Ocean, so I don’t know what’s different. However, I saw a few oceanic battlefield, there were many corpses......” said Chu Mu.

“That’s only a tiny portion you witnessed. Eternal Ocean is no longer peaceful. That guy did not awaken itself, but had sent out its pioneers to occupy the ocean region that it believes should be its,” said Elder Li.

“Uh...... I thought only Extreme Sky Ice Beast awakened......” said Chu Mu.

“New Moon Land is not so valuable for it to send so many subordinates to occupy. Of course, since Extreme Sky Ice Beast was killed by you, it won’t be long before an even stronger foe assaults your territory. After all, that Ancient Flood Dragon Person has a peculiar preference for New Moon Land. It would never allow someone else to snatch its favorite thing. If I’m not sure, Desolate Dynasty should be ruled by its subordinates now. The East Ocean of Eternal Ocean is still in a racial war. If the Ocean Species cannot react in time, the East Ocean of Eternal Ocean will probably be occupied by Ancient Flood Dragon Person’s number one general, Calamity Ocean Demon.”

“If by the time Ancient Flood Dragon Person is about to wake up and New Moon Land still does not belong to it, Calamity Ocean Demon will definitely rile up the Ocean Species and occupy New Moon Land......” said Elder Li.

An Ocean Demon that can occupy the East Ocean of Eternal Ocean?

Chu Mu found out from Evil Good Queen that other than the major race such as human, there were Ocean Species, Demon Species and other major races which possessed similarly long civilization and history as humans. Furthermore, due to not possessing an Undying rank expert, the humans were probably inferior in overall strength compared to the other five major races.

Eternal Ocean was the territory of Ocean Species. A single East Ocean was similar to half of Zhengming Continent.

Just how powerful would a creature that could invade half of Zhengming Continent be??

More importantly, it was only one general of Ancient Flood Dragon Person!
