Xia Guanghan stood there like a piece of ice, staring at Cao Yi who showed a humble and fearful expression without any emotion in his eyes.
"Master Xia... Master Xia..." Cao Yi wanted to justify his actions just now.
In fact, during those three months, Xia Guanghan visited the Green Nightmare Island once, and what surprised him was Chu Mu's tenacious vitality.
For other soul pet masters, it was difficult to feed a White Nightmare, but Chu Mu supported the White Nightmare for more than three months!
A person who can feed the White Nightmare to the second stage with his own strength is very valuable to the Nightmare Palace, Xia Guanghan specially asked Chu Mu to continue to develop...
Xia Guanghan didn't directly kill Chu Mu, and let Chu Mu continue to feed the White Nightmare, which shows that Xia Guanghan has already paid some attention to Chu Mu, and has the intention of cultivating Chu Mu.
The few deacons are very clear about this, and Cao Yi's behavior today is obviously to strangle him on purpose, to kill a potential new Nightmare Palace member who can feed the White Nightmare. This kind of behavior, Has gone against Xia Guanghan's wishes.
"There's no need to explain." Xia Guanghan said slowly, "From the beginning of the contest between the servants, I was here and witnessed the whole process, including the fact that your mental restraint forced him to be unable to take back his soul pet."
Xia Guanghan's tone was very flat, but this sentence hit Cao Yi's head like a thunderbolt, and he lay on the ground in fright, kowtowing desperately, hoping to get Xia Guanghan's forgiveness.
On the Green Nightmare Demon Lord Island, Xia Guanghan, who has supreme power, is equivalent to a god-like existence. Those island owners who originally sat in high positions, sub-island island owners, and other deacons who were in charge of the island all stepped down from their positions. He stood up and hurriedly ran under the arena.
Soon, all the power holders of Green Nightmare Island knelt down in front of Xia Guanghan like Cao Yi. Seeing the island owner and many other high-ranking people kneel down, how could those deacons who were watching on the field dare to sit down? All of them knelt down and bowed down, and the whole arena suddenly became extremely quiet!
In the field of thousands of people, everyone knelt down on the ground facing Xia Guanghan's position, with their faces facing the ground, and they all put on a humble look!
Many deacons may not know what it means to bow down to this big man, but even the highest-ranking island lord in this Green Nightmare Demon Island curls up and kneels like that, how dare these deacons not raise their heads.
Chu Mu stood where he was, and slowly chanted the spell, letting Mo Xie return to the soul pet space to recuperate from his injuries.
After taking Mo Xie back, Chu Mu stared at Cao Yi, who was struggling to breathe, and then glanced at the scene of thousands of people bowing down. At this moment, he understood more clearly what strength really means!
Facing the worship of thousands of people, Xia Guanghan remained indifferent, and even completely ignored the flattering words of the island owner.
Xia Guanghan slowly recited the incantation, and brought back the fifth-stage White Nightmare that made everyone in the arena tremble into the soul pet space.
Xia Guanghan turned around indifferently, and walked towards Chu Mu, the only one who did not kneel down step by step.
Chu Mu's not kneeling is not because he is ignorant of current affairs, but because he knows that if this guy wants to kill him, even if he kneels down and begs, it won't help. The only reason why he can live until now is that his soul power can support White Nightmare magic.
Chu Mu stared at Xia Guanghan, watching him walking towards him.
There are also many powerful soul pet masters in Chu Mu's family, but there are only a few who are stronger than the man in front of him, and these few are all quite old!
Although he has deep anger and resentment towards the person who threw himself into this death environment, Chu Mu has to admit that this man named Xia Guanghan is very strong. Looking at the field Chu Mu knows, this Xia Guanghan It is also a top existence!
"Your desire to survive is very, very strong, and it can be said to be a very rare one. Is there any reason why you are not willing to give up this poor life?" Xia Guanghan looked down at Chu Mu with his haughty eyes, and said slowly.
Chu Mu was also watching him, and his silver eyes gradually returned to their original deep black.
The man in front of him was slender and thin, his skin was pale, his whole body was like a frosted statue, it was indistinguishable from a dead thing when he was still...
However, for some reason, when Chu Mu's emotions kept surging, Chu Mu found that his vision became narrower and narrower, and finally he could only accommodate Xia Guanghan's sharp-edged face, and Xia Guanghan kept echoing in his ears. Faint words.
"Is there any reason why you are not willing to give up this poor life?"
"Is there any reason why you are not willing to give up this poor..."
"Poor life..."
Finally, Chu Mu's vision was completely dimmed, he couldn't see anything clearly, his head became extremely heavy, and gradually the white magic flame enveloped his entire world, and it didn't feel any pain to Chu Mu, because His consciousness has gradually lost...
Tiredness and drowsiness made Chu Mu feel as if he had completely fallen asleep, but during the process of falling asleep, he always saw pale flames burning.
Sometimes it was the hungry and ferocious appearance of the White Nightmare, sometimes it was Mo Xie's scarred and pity, and sometimes it was the scene of thousands of people kneeling down, all kinds of chaotic images floated in his mind, making Chu Mu dizzy …
At some point, Chu Mu's conscious world finally became quiet, and he, who was extremely tired, finally fell asleep, falling asleep heavily...
When entering from the third-level soul warrior to the fourth-level soul warrior, Chu Mu consumed too much soul power, especially when the White Nightmare had already entered the second stage and needed a lot of soul power to feed him.
The feeling of all the soul power being overdrawn in an instant is not pleasant, as if one's physical energy has been exhausted to the limit.
During this period of drowsiness, Chu Mu could feel that if his soul power recovered, it would be eaten by the White Nightmare, and his spiritual world was always empty.
It seemed that after a long time, the White Nightmare finally stopped devouring, and Chu Mu's soul power gradually recovered. When the soul power recovered to half, Chu Mu finally woke up from that fainting.
In the process of fainting, Chu Mu felt that his soul had traveled far away, sometimes it was the feeling of galloping against the waves of the ocean, and sometimes it was the feeling of flying through the sky and among the clouds...
Finally, Chu Mu opened his eyes, there was no glare, what Chu Mu saw was a dark sky, the clouds were restless, driven by the strong wind, rolling towards the horizon...
The smell of the sea breeze soon rushed into Chu Mu's nose. Chu Mu slowly stood up and looked around, but what he saw was still a vast ocean, boundless and confusing...
Memories slowly poured into Chu Mu's mind, and Chu Mu remembered the last sentence he heard.
"What makes you reluctant to give up this poor life."
But when Chu Mu woke up, what Chu Mu heard was still the same words, the same tone, the same tone.
Chu Mu woke up a little bit, staring at Xia Guanghan who appeared in his field of vision, his expression became stern, and he said coldly: "If you give me the same ten years, you will be just a pitiful creature in my eyes. "
Xia Guanghan was a little surprised by Chu Mu's answer, but for a moment he smiled indifferently, and said, "Strength has no concept of time. I can kill you right now, but you are a pitiful creature in my eyes. At a certain moment, you can Kill me, I'm the pitiful creature in your eyes. Complaining about the time? You might as well complain about why the Creator didn't let the Moonlight Fox be higher than the White Nightmare... "
Facing Xia Guanghan's fierce counterattack, Chu Mu seemed a little calm. He shook his head slowly, and said, "I won't complain that the Moonlight Fox is inferior to the White Nightmare. In my opinion, my Moonlight Fox is worse than the White Nightmare."
Hearing Chu Mu's words, Xia Guanghan laughed again. This cold man didn't seem to laugh often, and the way he laughed always made people feel a little weird.
"I admit that your moonlight fox's aptitude is indeed very high, comparable to many warrior-level soul pets. However, the moonlight fox is a moonlight fox after all, and it will never be a match for the white nightmare. No matter how strong the ant is, it will Was trampled to death by a lion." Xia Guanghan said contemptuously.
Facing Xia Guanghan's ridicule, Chu Mu didn't take it seriously. It is true that the White Nightmare is definitely a soul pet with a very high racial level, even if it only reaches the second stage, I am afraid that those fourth-stage servant-level creatures are not its opponents.
But the White Nightmare is powerful, but its potential is definitely not comparable to Mo Xie, who can continuously mutate. As long as there is enough time, Chu Mu believes that one day, Mo Xie will be able to defeat Xia Guanghan's fifth stage White Nightmare!
"You are not much different from the humble Cao Yi who tried to kill me, but you are just afraid that one day, I will step on your feet." Chu Mu said.
Xia Guanghan's smile stopped, he looked at Chu Mu and said, "Do you think you are smart? You told me this just to provoke me and delay your death, but unfortunately, the Nightmare Palace's purpose is to kill you , Your trick is useless to me."
After the plot was seen through, Chu Mu also immediately remained silent. Indeed, Chu Mu needed time, and he deliberately said the time gap in order to anger this man and let him let him go. But this Xia Guanghan is obviously not such an emotional person...
"Actually, I don't intend to kill you yet... My employer doesn't seem to want to buy me. Killing you is equivalent to doing something without pay." Xia Guanghan's lips curled up.
Hearing these words, Chu Mu's heart sank a little. To live is capital, and to live is the chance to escape from this guy's clutches.
"Your performance in the past six months has surprised me. I just need someone to help me with things. I can give you a chance to live." Xia Guanghan said.
Chu Mu knew that his life was in Xia Guanghan's hands now, and it didn't make much sense to talk too much, so he just listened.
"Of course, I also gave many people the same opportunity. If they didn't get it, they would still be them. If you didn't get it, you would be dead." Xia Guanghan said.
"Say it, as long as you can survive." Chu Mu didn't hesitate at all.
Xia Guanghan shook his head, and didn't tell Chu Mu the specific situation, but said, "I'll take you to Hengcheng, where the Demon Palace belongs, and you can live a comfortable life there, and then..."
When Xia Guanghan was talking, he suddenly stopped, looking at the land slowly appearing on the horizon, "It seems that we have arrived, and the speed has increased a little..."
Xia Guanghan's last words were not addressed to Chu Mu, but to the Lanjialonggui who was carrying them forward on the sea.
Lanjia Dragon Tortoise, Monster Beast World-Water System-Dragon Tortoise Clan-medium commander level, it can be said that it is impossible for Chu Mu to reach the height now!
Race level, from low to high, servant level, warrior level, commander level...
Apart from the White Nightmare, Chu Mu doesn't even have a warrior-level soul pet, let alone a higher-level commander-level soul pet.
…
The coastline gradually occupied Chu Mu's field of vision, and what Chu Mu saw was a vast and boundless continent!
After living on a deserted island for half a year, I finally saw the land. This feeling is really indescribable, just like seeing a long-lost country.
…
The blue dragon tortoise gradually approached Haikou, and the commander-level soul pet appeared, which immediately caused an uproar from everyone on the pier.
As if he was used to the sound of surprise, Xia Guanghan put away his soul pet indifferently, and walked forward along the main street.
Hengcheng can be said to be the most prosperous city in Henghai. This city is located in the most perfect port on the coastline of Henghai. It is an important economic hub of Henghai. The closed village is extremely simple.
Walking into the bustling city and seeing the endless stream of people, if Xia Guanghan hadn't walked in front, Chu Mu would indeed have the feeling of returning to his original life.
"I'll give you one month. After one month, I will find you. At that time, I will tell you what the chance of survival is..." Xia Guanghan suddenly stopped at the intersection, and said to Chu Mu with his back behind his back.
Chu Mu nodded, but didn't speak.
"By the way, I have imposed a soul lock on your White Nightmare. If you try to escape from this city, I will notice it, so you'd better not leave this city for a hundred kilometers. Once you leave, I will regard you as giving up. With this opportunity, and the fact that this place is at least two months away from Gangluo City, it doesn't make any sense to write back to your family." Xia Guanghan said.
Chu Mu still nodded, and didn't show any intention of disobedience.
The gap between his current strength and Xia Guanghan's was too great, and Chu Mu also knew that he could only survive if he obeyed Xia Guanghan's wishes.
"I'll show up in a month." Xia Guanghan said, and after speaking, Xia Guanghan continued to walk forward.
Chu Mu stood where he was, and didn't follow Xia Guanghan any further, and Xia Guanghan didn't look back either.
"One day, you will be trampled under my feet!"
Seeing Xia Guanghan's slender back gradually receding, Chu Mu's eyes became more determined, and he said in a voice that only he could hear: .
Xia Guanghan was still walking forward, gradually submerged in the streets with people coming and going, while Chu Mu was still standing at the bustling crossroads, not moving half a step for a long time.
Finally, Chu Mu moved, he had no purpose, he just walked forward, kept walking along the street...
After spending the night on the street, Chu Mu found his soul pet, the Hunter League, early the next morning.
The Hunter League is naturally a gathering place for hunting soul pets, and it provides the most direct trading of soul cores and soul crystals here.
It can be said that Chu Mu is penniless now, living in a seaside city, without enough funds, he will definitely encounter various obstacles.
Now Chu Mu had been relying on Mo Xie to fight, but it was difficult for him to really play a role. To improve his strength did not mean training Mo Xie hard, Chu Mu himself should also improve.
Chu Mu remembered that soul warriors had a soul skill—flame attachment, and this soul skill cost about fifty gold coins. Chu Mu felt that it was necessary to collect fifty gold coins to learn this soul skill that could improve Mo Xie's strength to a certain extent.
In addition, Chu Mu has now entered the stage of a four-year-old soul warrior, and he can already have another soul pet. New soul pets can be purchased through the market, or captured by yourself...
After entering the Hunter League, Chu Mu roughly looked at the price of the soul core. The price of the soul core offered by the Hunter League was not much different from the price offered by the old merchant. After Chu Mu bought all the remaining silver coins for a month's worth of food for the dual-attribute soul core that Mo Xie needed, After buying his own dry food, he left the Hunter League and walked out of the city...
When walking outside the city gate, the night was already very deep, and the road leading to the gloomy forest outside the city had become somewhat dark. The bright moonlight fell on the lonely Chu Mu, gradually elongating his figure.
Beside Chu Mu, Mo Xie, who had completely healed from his injuries, followed Chu Mu. Among the noble fluff, the little green worm, who had been hiding all along, stood up and made a rustling sound, saying something...
In this way, a lonely boy, a proud moon fox, and a timid caterpillar, against the backdrop of the silver moonlight, constitute a strange picture...
…
a month later.
…
"Mo Xie, sneak attack, blood-cracked claw!"
On the somewhat desolate land, a moonlight fox claw blade covered with a noble silver appearance indifferently slashed across the body of a second-stage and seventh-stage carapace maggot.
The thick carapace of the carapace maggot was torn open immediately, and the deep claw blades completely tore open the body of this insect-type soul pet. Suddenly, disgusting body fluids overflowed from the body of the carapace maggot, flowing on the grassy land superior.
Chu Mu swiftly took out the soul core of the worm-type soul pet, put the soul core in the package, stroked Mo Xie's head with his hand, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"It should be almost a month, let's go back." Chu Mu said to Mo Xie.
Mo Xie always enjoyed Chu Mu's touch, and murmured meekly.
Since leaving the Hunter League, Chu Mu and Mo Xie were outside the city for a whole month, and the fighting almost never stopped. An easy life is meaningless to Chu Mu, both Chu Mu and Mo Xie have the strongest desire now, the desire to become stronger!
Mo Xie's strength has improved rapidly. In a month, he has entered the second stage from the fourth stage to the second stage eighth stage, a full promotion to the fourth stage. Although he has not learned any new combat skills, the original skills have become more proficient .
"The claw blade of the second-level full-stage, the flexible hair of the second-level mid-stage, the mid-stage of the flame skill, the mid-stage of the blood-cracking claw, the late stage of the sneak attack, the mid-stage of the moon blade, the late stage of the charm, and the late stage of Chu Lian. Even facing the soul of the warrior class Beloved, everyone below the third rank should be able to compete." Chu Mu said to himself.
Of course, it's not that Chu Mu himself hasn't improved a little this month. His soul skill - Freezing has been upgraded to the middle stage. Chu Mu can directly turn soul pets below the second stage into ice sculptures.
However, Chu Mu hadn't found a suitable new soul pet for a month.
Chu Mu's conditions for choosing a soul pet can be said to be very harsh. For him, instead of wasting time cultivating a soul pet that he captured casually, it would be better to make the soul pet he already has stronger.
So without getting a new soul pet, Chu Mu still put all his thoughts on Mo Xie until he found a soul pet he was satisfied with.
…
After returning to the city, Chu Mu didn't have any nostalgia for the city full of flowers, and went straight to the Hunter League, selling all the soul cores he had obtained.
"104 second-level soul cores, 232 first-level soul cores, 2 third-level soul cores... let me see the quality of these soul cores first." The old manager of the Hunter League stroked his beard without even looking at it Chu Mu kept his gaze fixed on the soul core in Chu Mu's hand.
Chu Mu was not in a hurry, and quietly waited for the old manager's estimate of the price of his achievements this month.
Of course, it is impossible for the old managers to identify the grade of each soul core one by one. The acquisitions like the Hunter League are in large quantities. The managers generally classify all the soul cores in a general way, and then directly classify them. The price of soul cores will be unified.
"Second-level soul core, a total of 42 gold coins, a first-level soul core, a total of 16 gold coins, a third-level soul core, a total of 6 gold coins, a total of 64 gold coins... If you have any opinions on my price evaluation, you can directly ask other people, no Those words belong to me, and the 64 gold coins belong to you." The old manager said to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu himself estimated that it was around 60 gold coins, so he simply sold all the soul cores to the old manager and took away 64 gold coins.
"Fifty gold coins should be enough to buy the soul skill — Flame Fusion. The rest of the money should go to the Soul Pet Palace to see if you can find soul pets for sale." After packing the money bag, Chu Mu went straight to the merchant. area, looking for a place to sell soul skills.
