When Chu Mu arrived at the Soul Pet Palace, the diligent seller had already offered to sell the concubine Lingyin. In the end, Chu Mu tragically bought the concubine Lingyin, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of gold coins were also sold. Gave it to the seller.
The salesman was very efficient, and quickly contacted Chu Mu with the buyer. Chu Mu only waited there for about an hour, and all those things were sold. To Chu Mu's disappointment, these things All of them were sold for only 28 million gold coins, which was a little less than what Chu Mu expected.
"It's still 2 million gold coins, but Mu Xuejing..." Chu Mu was also a little helpless.
All the money is not enough to strengthen the Demon Tree Warrior, let alone the condensed crystallization of the Ghost King.
After collecting 28 million gold coins, Chu Mu returned to the exchange. At this time, Ye Qingzi had already bought the spiritual objects and medicinal materials she needed at the auction.
"I've already bought the Ranmu Blood Crystal you need, 29 million gold coins." Ye Qingzi said to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu was also worried that he would miss the blood crystal of Ranmu, which was considered an unexpected surprise, so he gave Ye Qingzi all his assets of 28 million gold coins, and also gave her Concubine Lingyin by the way.
After Ye Qingzi accepted Chu Mu's 28 million gold coins, she paid Chu Mu another 4 million gold coins, saying that it was the price to buy Lingyin's concubine. Chu Mu was also very short of money now, so she didn't refuse.
"Do you still want to buy the sixth-level concentrated ghost and rock soul crystal? Then I may not be able to help you. I only have a few million gold coins left. Besides the medicinal materials I bought a few days ago, I bought some for my brother. Spiritual objects strengthen his soul pet." Ye Qingzi said.
Chu Mu smiled wryly, now it is difficult to meet Chu Mu's needs with tens of millions of funds, let alone equip all soul pets with soul outfits.
"Why don't you accept the reward, the amount shouldn't be low, and I'll help you too." Ye Qingzi said.
"Well, that's the only way to go." Chu Mu shook his head helplessly, and finally had to accept the reward.
Because Ye Qingzi still had to wait for the next batch of spiritual objects, Chu Mu also waited with Ye Qingzi until the end of the second auction, and left the exchange after purchasing all the detoxification materials.
It was already very late at night when they left the exchange, Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi respectively drove the dream beasts towards the West Street of Central City.
"Why don't you choose a elixir shop that is closer to the central square, wouldn't it be more convenient for you to buy elixir?" Chu Mu asked puzzled.
"It's just..." Ye Qingzi hesitated for a while, as if she couldn't find a reasonable reason to explain it.
Chu Mu showed even more doubts, but seeing that Ye Qingzi didn't answer, he didn't ask further.
There is also a long distance from the central square to the West Street. When Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi walked into the West Street, they could clearly feel that the place had become very deserted. Presumably those residents who originally lived here also temporarily moved to other places. place to hide.
"Do you feel the atmosphere is weird?" Ye Qingzi asked Chu Mu in a low voice.
"A little bit, maybe those things are haunting again, let's be more careful." Chu Mu said.
"Don't summon soul pets casually, the more soul pets there are, the more their appetite will be aroused." Ye Qingzi said.
Chu Mu nodded, and asked the Thunder of the Night Dream Beast to hide its aura, and at the same time release its soul thoughts to search the surroundings.
The empty street was shrouded in some strange mist, and from time to time, a few strange calls came from a certain deep courtyard, bringing some horror atmosphere to this gloomy street.
"Strange, didn't the deputy captain of the air guards say that he would send more people today? Why hasn't he seen a city guard or an air guard after walking for so long?" Ye Qingzi asked.
Chu Mu had always thought it was weird before, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. After Ye Qingzi said this, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be no city guard in this West Street.
There was a series of homicides in a block, and it was impossible for the city guards to ignore this kind of thing, but after walking for so long, Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi didn't even see a single city guard, which was too weird.
"Qingzi, how long have those things been around Chu Mu?" Chu Mu asked.
"It's been more than a week. In fact, I think they are very old in the city. They have been in the dormant period before, and they only appeared recently." Ye Qingzi replied.
"Then how sure are you that they don't attack civilians?" Chu Mu continued to ask.
"At least 90%, these things need soul cores and soul crystals to maintain their lives, and the flesh and blood of powerful soul pets can also satisfy their appetite. Killing civilians indiscriminately will not benefit them at all, but may make them expose their whereabouts. So I conclude that they are not beast-like beasts, but predators that specifically target some soul pets." Ye Qingzi said.
When Ye Qingzi said this, Chu Mu frowned, and his heart began to beat uneasy.
"Ah~!"
A cry suddenly startled, reverberating in this already terrifying neighborhood!
Both Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi were stunned.
"Over there, let's go there quickly!" Chu Mu took the lead in driving the Night Thunder Dream Beast and galloped towards the direction of the sound.
Ye Qingzi quickly caught up with Chu Mu. After observing carefully, he found that Chu Mu showed an extremely anxious look, which made Ye Qingzi very puzzled. Even if innocent people were killed, with Chu Mu's character It shouldn't be so anxious.
It was already difficult for Chu Mu to keep calm at this time. Considering what happened now, he guessed a very scary possibility.
"What's the matter?" Ye Qingzi saw Chu Mu's mood and asked.
"Let's go there first." Chu Mu didn't have time to answer Ye Qingzi, so he asked Night Thunder Dream Beast to start chasing the wind and chasing the moon, and began to accelerate continuously.
Night Thunder Dream Beast ran under the desolate moonlight, its speed getting faster and faster, until finally it couldn't even see its figure, only the messy storm-swept street proved that Night Thunder Dream Beast rushed past here.
It was still where it was yesterday, and soon the Night Thunder Dream Beast resisted the Gutong Lane area.
Ye Qingzi had been chasing Chu Mu, but after turning a street, she suddenly found Chu Mu stopped at a narrow crossroads, her whole body was shrouded in a shadow, exuding a terrifying murderous aura.
Ye Qingzi drove the Zishan Dream Beast to stop beside Chu Mu, and when she was about to ask Chu Mu, she suddenly found that besides the street where she ran to, the other three streets were actually bleeding with blood!
The moonlight pierced through the night fog, showing a bit of haze, sprinkled on the blood slowly flowing to the underground ditch, making the blood look more eye-catching and terrifying.
Sweeping his gaze, there are several corpses of soul pets in every direction. These corpses have been gnawed until only white bones and some unswallowable limbs are left. Judging from the bloody raw meat and overflowing body fluids, these corpses Soul pets all die soon.
There were fourteen corpses in total, and next to almost every few corpses lay a soul pet master wearing the same clothes, and these soul pet masters were the city guards of Li City!
Such a cruel scene appeared in the city, and Ye Qingzi felt a little uneasy in her heart, and looked at the stern Chu Mu with her panicked eyes.
Chu Mu didn't speak, and let the Night Thunder Dream Beast continue to walk along the straight line of the street.
After stepping on those corpses, Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi soon arrived at another block.
"Hoo hoo hoo ~!"
A gust of cold wind blows from the depths of the street, and the smell of blood fills the nostrils, and the haze of death hangs low over the city.
The surroundings were terrifyingly quiet, and the moonlight was pale, shining on the dead bodies in the streets and alleys, setting off this disgusting and horrifying scene.
More soul pet corpses appeared in front of Chu Mu. These were all the soul pets of the city guards, including those city guards who were supposed to be patrolling here. They had died in this terrifying city at some point …
"How could this be..." Looking at the corpses on both sides, Ye Qingzi's face paled a little.
This is a city inhabited by humans, but it feels more terrifying than those eerie caves and forests in the wild. What is it that turned this residential city into such a terrifying appearance!
"Let's go back, they should all be dead..." Chu Mu continued to walk forward, because he knew that if he went any further, he would probably be killed like those city guards lying in disorder on the street. , the soul pet was eaten to dry flesh and blood.
"What's going on?" Ye Qingzi, who was always calm, was also a little flustered.
"This is a conspiracy, a trap deliberately set by those predators." Chu Mu said in a calm voice.
Originally, Chu Mu was just guessing, but after seeing the corpses of more than a dozen city guards and the remains of dozens of soul pets in this block, his guess just now was confirmed.
"Conspiracy, are these man-made?" Ye Qingzi still didn't understand.
Chu Mu shook his head and said, "I don't know if it's artificial..."
Looking back at the streets and alleys where blood was constantly flowing, Chu Mu slightly made the Night Thunder Dream Beast speed up, and at the same time asked Ye Qingzi to follow him closer.
"Didn't you say there's no point in these predators attacking civilians?"
"Well, at least I think so."
"They know that once there is death, there will be a large number of city guards appearing in a certain area. Yesterday they killed more than 30 civilians for this purpose..." Chu Mu said.
When Chu Mu was so broken, Ye Qingzi suddenly came to his senses, and the surprise on his face couldn't be more amazing. This is really terrifying!
Because, these things are deliberately attracting city guards, and then treat the city guards who can summon soul pets as food!
"If we could have thought of it yesterday, they wouldn't have died..." Chu Mu showed a bit of bitterness on his face.
