"Young master, it's really too dangerous to go out like this. That kid is in Wanduan Sting Valley. If he is going to die, he will die sooner. If he doesn't die, he will definitely die. It shouldn't matter if he goes later." Li Lao Er said to Chu Mu with his soul thoughts.

Chu Mu naturally knew that this old guy was greedy for life and afraid of death, so why would he listen to him, and directly added 10% of the soul-intent protection to the soul-catching ring, so as not to give this old guy another chance to escape.

"Young master, don't, you forgot, you haven't taken the reward for winning the top three. If you leave like this, the things worth 10 million together will be handed over to others." Old Li immediately screamed.

If Chu Mu added a layer of soul guard to the soul-capture ring, it would be very difficult for him to escape from the soul-capture space by himself.

When Old Li said this, Chu Mu really remembered that he had to take the reward in vain. After all, he and Ye Qingzi fought several times in a row to get it.

"In that case, you stay here, and after the Zhehuang is over, go find Old Man Tu, bring the rewards, and then come to Wanduan Sting Valley to find me." Chu Mu said.

"Young master, this is not good, if you have any troubles, how can I explain to His Royal Highness..." Old Li said.

Chu Mu was too lazy to chat with Old Li, so he petted this weird-looking demon soul directly to Chu Xian, and asked Chu Xian to watch it.

"Chu Mu, think it over again, don't be in a hurry, it's really dangerous outside." Chu Xian didn't care about the weird old man, pulled Chu Mu aside, and said worriedly.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Chu Mu stroked her cheek and smiled.

"But..." Chu Xian still wanted to say something, but looking at Chu Mu's eyes, she didn't know what to say.

"Then I'm leaving. If you encounter some troubles in the future, just go to Elder Tu directly, and he will help you solve it." Chu Mu said. After finishing speaking, Chu Mu gave Chu Xian a gentle hug, and then walked towards the back of the hall of the Stone Palace.

Chu Xian could only nod her head, watching Chu Mu leave with a look of loss.

In fact, Chu Xian was not only worried about Chu Mu's safety, but also cared about Chu Mu's departure this time. She could guess that Chu Mu was going to a far away place, and when Chu Mu left this time, she felt that she would never have the chance to see him again. It's Chu Mu.

"Chu Xian, why did you let him go like this?" Chu Qian suddenly ran behind Chu Xian and said to Chu Xian.

Chu Xian froze for a moment, glanced at Chu Qian and said, "If 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 I can't see what you are thinking. "

Chu Xian shook her head: "It's impossible for us."

Walking slowly along the stone steps to the back of the stone hall, the entire stone hall was so quiet that only the footsteps of Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi could be heard.

"It can be seen that she is very reluctant to part with you. It's not good for you to leave 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 siblings.

"It's not good to talk too much." There was a trace of bitterness on Chu Mu's face.

For the person he liked at first, Chu Mu felt that only a vague kiss was enough. After all, he liked Chu Xian at the beginning only because of her tenderness to him. Now Chu Mu has matured many ideas and knows What I really need is not a sister who I admired when I was a teenager. If I involve too much, it will delay her.

"What about that princess, don't you need to say hello to her, aren't you her bodyguard?" Ye Qingzi asked curiously.

Ye Qingzi can also see that Chu Mu and Princess Jinrou also have some friendship, this friendship is very strange, and Ye Qingzi also guesses that she doesn't know what's going on.

"I'm no longer her bodyguard, 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, but this kind of straightforwardness was a bit too decisive...

Approaching the narrow door, Ye Qingzi immediately saw the astonishing cracks of Zhenyi's entire stone palace!

The defensive power of the stone palace is very strong, even the Ninth Stage Sovereign can't break through it, but the small door is covered with countless cracks, how much strength does it need

"This is..." Ye Qingzi looked at Chu Mu in surprise, not knowing how to describe it in words. When Chu Mu retrieved the stone palace, what kind of terrifying creature did he encounter!

"It's the ten-winged demon worm, and I almost couldn't come back." Seeing Ye Qingzi staring at him, Chu Mu had no choice but to explain casually.

"Ten Winged Sky Demon Insect, isn't that..."

"Well, fortunately, when I saw it, it was still far away from me." Chu Mu said.

How could Ye Qingzi not understand the horror of the ten-winged demon worm? Just by looking at the cracks on this incomparably solid stone hall, one can imagine it.

"Let's go, Old Li said that as long as you are careful, you shouldn't encounter creatures of this level." Chu Mu said and walked ahead.

The exit was originally narrow, but it was torn open quite a bit by the power of the ten-winged demon worm. After Chu Mu pushed away the stacked stones, he saw the slightly dim light outside shining into the stone hall.

Chu Mu poked out his soul thoughts and searched the surroundings to see if there were groups of Heavenly Demon Insects nearby.

Chu Mu's soul thoughts can cover an area of hundreds of meters, and as long as those soul pets don't deliberately hide them, they can perceive them all.

"There are only a few weak Sky Demon Insects, I'll go out and deal with them first," Chu Mu said.

"This is a blood bottle. After you kill the demon worm, inject your soul thoughts into this blood bottle, and the blood bottle will draw the blood out of the worm's body by itself." Ye Qingzi handed Chu Mu a sculpture with various patterns. A blood-colored bottle with a strange pattern.

It was also the first time Chu Mu had seen this kind of utensil, and he looked through it carefully for a while before putting it away.

After chanting the spell, Chu Mu began to summon the Thunder Dream Beast of the Night.

"Ye, death light!" Chu Mu jumped onto the back of the Thunder Dream Beast of the Night, and immediately issued an order.

The Night Thunder Dream Beast's dream corner flickered with dark light, and immediately held a gathered death light in its mouth, and slammed it towards the nearest Sky Demon Insect!

"boom!"

The death light exploded on the five-stage four-winged celestial worm, and the four-winged celestial worm was immediately smashed to pieces, blood and flesh splashing!

"Let's just jump down and go around from the city to the north of the mountain." Chu Mu injected his soul thoughts into the blood bottle, and then said to Ye Qingzi.

"Well, it's impossible to cross this Chu Mountain directly." Ye Qingzi nodded. Ye Qingzi didn't have a wing-type soul pet either, but even if they had one, they wouldn't dare to fly directly over Mount Chu, because they were more likely to be attacked by the sky demon insects in the air.

Ye Qingzi has also summoned her Zishan Dream Beast, jumped onto the Zishan Dream Beast's back, and led the Zishan Dream Beast to jump directly from the almost vertical mountain cliff!

After Chu Mu dealt with the weak Sky Demon Worms around him, he immediately followed Ye Qingzi, and also directly drove the Night Thunder Dream Beast down.

Night Thunder Dream Beast can only step in the air briefly during the day, but this kind of cliff with jagged rocks is not too difficult for Night Thunder Dream Beast. With a slight buffer, he jumped from the top of the mountain to the bottom with ease and elegance like a black elf.

Not far below the main peak of Chu Mountain is Wogu City. Looking down from a height, the whole Wogu City is shrouded in a cloud of black insects. desolate.

The two of them landed quickly, and Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi's dream beasts immediately dealt with the few Sky Demon Insects that followed from the sky, turning them into insect blood and pouring them into Chu Mu's blood bottle.

"This is the blood volume of 2..." Chu Mu shook the compressed blood that didn't even cover the bottom of the blood bottle with a wry smile, and shook his head with a wry smile. I really don't know how to collect the blood of 1,000 demon insects. when.

"Take your time, it's everywhere..." Ye Qingzi comforted.

Going down the somewhat desolate hillside, Chu Muye and Ye Qingzi stepped into the city, but 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 gate of the city, and many soul pet masters even rode their mounts on the wide road.

But now, what was unfolding in front of their eyes was an extremely depressed city gate that could even be described as miserable.

The city buildings themselves were not seriously damaged, but debris and rubbish were piled up in disorder on the streets, and the stench was foul.

And what makes people feel a bit chilly is that many rotting corpses and bones are scattered everywhere, on the streets, roofs, and city walls, and the blood stains have smeared a shocking color on this deserted city. blood red.

The gate of the city already looked like this. I don't know how many people in this city were buried under the disaster of Zhehuang. As they entered, Ye Qingzi's face became paler and paler.

"Let's pass through this city quickly." Ye Qingzi's face became more and more ugly, obviously too many people died, which made her shrouded in a thick haze.

"En." Chu Mu told the Night Thunder Dream Beast to speed up and gallop on the main street of the city.

The city is not deserted, and some soul pet masters driving soul pets can often be seen passing by in a hurry, and behind them are also a few demon worms.

The city needs to be restored to its original state. Although the demonic insects still exist, many soul pet masters in Wogu City have begun to clean up the demonic insects staying in the ancient city of Wo, so as 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 the clothes of the guards of Wogu City came up behind him, riding the Gale Wind Demon Horse.

Chu Mu also Ye Qingzi looked around, seeing that there were no Heavenly Demon Insects coiling around, she also stopped.

"What's the matter?" Chu Mu looked at the guard of Wogu City and asked.

"The two of you can control the Thunder Dream Beast of the Night, and your strength should not be weak. Can you please send these two rings to the tower in the east of the city?" said the guard.

Both Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi were puzzled.

Seeing that the two were at a loss, the guard asked, "Aren't you two hunters?"

"no."

"This time the famine came suddenly, and many urban residents did not stock up on half a month's worth of food in time. Considering this situation, the city lord asked us guards to start bringing out 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 our guards are short of manpower, and there are not many soul pet masters who dare to come out on the seventh day, so we started to ask those hunters for help. Send it there, after all, the east of the city lacks the most food and water, we...we will give you a commission." The guard's words were very sincere, and he even prayed for it, obviously hoping that Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi could help him with this. 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 the Wanduan Sting Valley in the north.

"Give it to us." Although Ye Qingzi cared about her brother, she would still help with such a small effort, and immediately took two interspatial rings with water and food stored in them from the guards.

"Thank you so much." The guard immediately said excitedly, "I... I have to distribute food to another city. 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 rushing to the east of the city, along the way Chu Mu did indeed see a lot of city guards who were not weak running around on the desolate streets, and often saw their soul pets fighting the sky demon worms.

"Chu Mu, wait..." Ye Qingzi suddenly stopped and called 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 my brother is nearby." Ye Qingzi said.

"Nearby? Shouldn't he be going to Wanduan Sting Valley? Besides, how could you feel your brother's presence?" Chu Mu asked immediately.

"My brother and I have a pair of compatriot soul pets. Their souls have consonance. 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 Demon through soul imprints, but this was the first time he had heard of this kind of compatriot soul pets who could communicate with each other to find each other.

"No wonder your brother left so relieved. I was also thinking about how you would find him. Since he is in Wogu City, it means that he might have been delayed by something and didn't go to Chengwan Duan Sting Valley." Chu Mu said.

Ye Qingzi also breathed a sigh of relief, if Ye Wansheng is not in Wanduan Sting Valley, and if he senses his soul pet here, it means that he is 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 behind Ye Qingzi, and ran towards Ye Wansheng's position.

Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi have now deviated from the direction of the east of the city, and gradually entered the center of the city. What makes Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi frown is that the more they go to the center of the city, the more the number of demon insects, presumably Due to the gathering of too many people in the center of the city, many of them failed to enter the sheltered cellars, and instead became food for the demonic insects, causing the demonic insects to lay eggs there.

The demonic insects decay very fast, and usually hatch within half a month after being born from the mother's body. There are so many demonic insects gathered here, it must be that these demonic insects who are full are here to guard them after laying eggs. Lay eggs until all the Sky Demon Insects have hatched, then take those little Sky Demon Worms out of here and continue to look for food in other places.

Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi quickly entered the extremely bustling inner city. To their surprise, there were many city guards around the inner city. They formed a team and used their soul pets to fight against the strength of the demonic insects that were expanding outwards. with.

"You two, don't get close. If you want to hunt the Sky Demon Insect, go somewhere else." A man driving the Bright Horn Beast immediately stopped Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi.

"What's wrong in front, why does it look like it was hit by a mud flow?" Chu Mu asked while looking ahead.

Skimming the battle lines of the soul pets and demon worms of the guards, one can see that all the buildings and streets in the urban area in front of them are covered with an extremely viscous black semi-solid object, which is dark and looks very disgusting.

This black semi-solid object spread over a large area, turning the entire bustling city into the ugliest and most terrifying ruins.

"It's the lair of the demonic insects. There is a group of demonic insects nesting here. Anyway, it's very dangerous here. Don't get close." The man said.

"Qingzi, is he in there?" Chu Mu glanced at Ye Qingzi and asked.

"Well, it's inside." Ye Qingzi nodded with a pale face.

If it has become a lair of demonic insects, then the people hiding in the cellar will be stuffed under the cellar because of the insect poison and the lack of air. If they don't deal with it as soon as possible, they will surely 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 so what, the city lord is already dispatching experts, hoping that someone can solve the monarch, but the entire ancient city of Wo is so big, and countless demonic insects gather , Dozens of Heavenly Demon Insect lairs fell in the city, and many masters had to be dispatched to clean each Heavenly Demon Insect lair, which is not easy..." The man said with a heavy tone.

Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi frowned. There must be a powerful monarch-level demon worm in the demon worm's lair this day. Even if the strength of this demon worm is not as strong as the ninth-tier monarch that Chu Mu encountered, it is not far behind. It's really hard to beat it.

In addition, there are thousands of demonic insects coiled around a lair of demonic demons, and the most important thing is that the level and stage of demonic insects that can lay eggs are definitely not low, even if Chu Mu is half-demonized and casts the nine-level power of the heavenly flame ritual It may not be able to kill many.
