Chapter 330: 207: Monarch’s Terrifying Soul Pursuit
The ground shook as the Ghost Dome King ran, unable to fly along the cliff as it fell. When Chu Mu and his Soul Pet fell to the ground, the Ghost Dome King had also reached the foot of the mountain.
With powerful strides, the eighth-stage Ghost Dome King’s body was completely covered in Dark Rock Crystals. The Rock Type not only granted it unmatched defensive prowess but also endowed it with an even purer strength than the Beast type. As it chased down the mountain, each stride left a heavy footprint on the rocky ground!
The Ghost Dome King was the ruler of Sky Crystal Peak, and the moment it landed at the foot of the mountain, the countless Soul Pet species inhabiting the area within a radius of several thousand miles went into a frenzy, creating a cacophony of raucous cries that echoed across the mountain range beneath the night sky!
Tens of thousands of Soul Pet legions stirred up a colossal wave of rocks, chasing in the direction of Chu Mu’s escape.
The ground behind seemed to collapse, with massive rocks soaring through the air like a sandstorm. When they fell, they destroyed a large swath of rocky forest, exuding an aura of destruction.
Chu Mu naturally sensed the countless Soul Pets surging towards him from behind and finally understood why many Soul Pet Masters, even at the Soul Lord Level, couldn’t possess a Monarch-level Soul Pet.
A capturable Monarch-level Soul Pet would most likely be protected by an Overlord of the area. Attempting to capture such a Soul Pet would inevitably provoke the wrath of the Overlord, whose rage could mobilize the countless Soul Pet species living nearby. This Soul Pet Legion’s power was something simply undefeatable.
Chu Mu had planned to give up earlier, but Mo Ye’s stubbornness got the best of him, inadvertently causing such an upheaval. Luckily, the Moonlight buff had partially restored Mo Ye’s Combat Power, and it could now rely on its speed advantage to engage the vast horde of Soul Pets in a chasing battle, which otherwise would have been extremely dangerous.
Riding her Purple Robe Dream Beast, Ye Qingzi’s face was pale. She had previously thought that the eight hundred Guaiyan Guardians and the Solid Rock General were already formidable obstacles, but she never imagined Chu Mu would also involve such a massive group of Soul Pets. The danger was definitely no less than that of the Sky Demon Worm legions that initially appeared in the Great Chu Noble Family.
Ye Qingzi’s Purple Robe Dream Beast had been enhanced to the seventh-rank, fourth-stage. After later-stage training, the Dream Beast’s speed in running was not slow. It could barely avoid being caught by the Soul Pets behind it.
As for Qing Li, who had escaped earlier, he was now riding his Ziyuan Thunder Demon, which was somewhat exhausted. He sprinted through the icy mountains. Upon looking back and seeing the Sky Crystal Peak covered in a yellowish dust, he shook with fear, urging the Ziyuan Thunder Demon to speed up even more.
With the earth shaking and the storm sweeping through Sky Crystal Peak, countless Elemental Soul Pets in other areas of the mountain range panicked due to the emerging Soul Pet Legions from Sky Crystal Peak. Weaker Soul Pet species began to migrate towards other directions, and stray Soul Pets fled to their caves, not daring to roam in the wild.
About five kilometers south of Sky Crystal Peak, a group of Soul Pet Masters who were undergoing wilderness training stood on top of a mountain peak, gazing at Sky Crystal Peak’s location.
“What’s happening there?” A middle-aged Soul Pet Master asked.
“I don’t know, but it seems like a Soul Pet Legion is rampaging,” said a younger teenager, gazing at the location of Sky Crystal Peak.
“Nonsense, there’s no way Sky Crystal Peak would collapse. Let me take a look.” An older female Soul Pet Master, who appeared to be the older sister of the teenager, scolded him for his nonsense remark.
The female Soul Pet Master often traveled through this area, and although she had never ventured into Sky Crystal Peak, she had some knowledge of it. With such a powerful Monarch-level Overlord in a place like Sky Crystal Peak, a rampage was unlikely since few people dared to genuinely anger the Lord of Sky Crystal Peak.
Upon heading to the top of the mountain, she cast her vision-enhancing Soul Skill and looked into Sky Crystal Peak’s area.
A vast expanse of yellow dust filled the distant sky, obscuring the stars and enveloping the earth. In the darkness, countless creatures could be seen running along the outskirts of Sky Crystal Peak’s territory.
At the forefront of the innumerable Soul Pet Legions, a towering black silhouette trampled on low mountain peaks, leaping for nearly a hundred meters each time – a sight that still struck awe from such a distance and seemed utterly unstoppable!
Seeing this scene, the female Soul Pet Master gasped. In her opinion, the Soul Pet running far away, crushing the low mountain peaks in its path, closely resembled the statues at Colorful Dome City’s gates, most notably the rock crystal sword in its hand!
“What’s going on?” The middle-aged man, who appeared to be the team leader, asked the female Soul Pet Master as he replied without seeing what was happening through a Soul Skill.
Withdrawing her Soul Skill, the female Soul Pet Master had a hard time calming her heart. It wasn’t until the team leader asked her the second time that she hesitantly responded, “It seems… someone has lured the Monarch from the top of Sky Crystal Peak down…”
“The Lord of Sky Crystal Peak? How is that possible? With the strength of that Monarch, not to mention the countless Soul Pets of Sky Crystal Peak, no ordinary person can handle it,” The middle-aged team leader immediately shook his head in disbelief.
“I also saw three Soul Pet Masters ahead of the Monarch of Sky Crystal Peak…”
Throughout the night, the mountains to the east of Sky Crystal Peak were struck by the terrifying rampage of the Soul Pets from the peak. This horrific destruction demolished countless mountains, even affecting over ten kilometers and causing chaos within the Colorful Dome Mountain Range—like the collapse of mountains and the cracking of the earth, a catastrophe descended.
For the entire night, Chu Mu’s Mo Ye and Night Thunder Dream Beast were operating at their maximum speed, racing against the 8th-stage Monarch Death God. Along the way, small mountains collapsed, mountain streams were destroyed, and the ground was reduced to rubble. During this thrilling escape, Chu Mu experienced this for the first time in his life.
Ye Qingzi was implicated by Chu Mu and had no choice but to run with him. They took turns riding her Purple Robe Dream Beast and Battle Court Black Beast, two Soul Pets with impressive running speeds. They narrowly managed to get out of the terrifying sword marks left by the Ghost Dome King, widening their distance from them several times…
As morning light bathed the continuous mountain ranges of Colorful Dome Mountain, it provided a perfect contrast to the devastated lands, stretching hundreds of kilometers from the foot of Sky Crystal Peak, revealing the battlefield strewn with debris…
To the east of Colorful Dome Mountain, there is a waterway that flows from the high mountains to Colorful Dome City. At times, this waterway is as narrow and shallow as a stream, while at others, it expands wide like rivers and lakes, pouring into the lake. Sometimes, it even forms a turbulent waterfall, displaying its magnificent beauty!
Under the waterfall, Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi sat on a shallow beach, their faces covered in dust and dirt.
Chu Mu’s clothes were worn and tattered, with several small wounds and bloodstains.
Ye Qingzi’s long black hair was coated in sand and dust, her fair and full cheeks marked with dark spots. Her small mouth was slightly open, taking delicate breaths…
Behind Chu Mu, the audacious Mo Ye lay exhausted on a smooth rock, its long narrow eyes closed, while its nine long tails were still tightly wrapped around a Soul Pet with a four-meter tall body and covered in Dark Iron Rock.
“Do you think Old Raccoon Li will get lost?” said Ye Qingzi after catching her breath several times.
She still had lingering fear at this moment. After all, she and Chu Mu had been chased by the 8th-stage Ghost Dome King for a whole night. Neither of them had any rest the entire night.
“No,” Chu Mu shook his head. Master Li’s speed and hiding ability were even stronger than Mo Ye’s. It was impossible for him to lose Qing Li.
“Qing Li’s Ziyuan Thunder Demon was also injured. Although he escaped the catastrophe of Sky Crystal Peak’s Soul Pet Army, it would still take him a few days to reach Colorful Dome City. As long as we arrive at Colorful Dome City before him, it should be fine,” Chu Mu said.
The Ghost Dome King was specifically targeting Chu Mu because he had taken away the Fifth Rank Eighth-Stage Ghost Dome King. Qing Li had seized this opportunity to escape the disaster caused by Sky Crystal Peak’s Soul Pet Army.
“You’re certainly bold,” Ye Qingzi looked back at the Ghost Dome King who was still tightly bound by Mo Ye and spoke softly.
Chu Mu could only smile bitterly and glanced at Mo Ye who was sleeping soundly.
Chu Mu had planned on giving up the Ghost Dome King, considering he was in the Ghost Dome King’s territory, and angering him would undoubtedly lead to such a terrifying situation…
“This is a 7th-level Soul Power potion. It can increase your Soul Power recovery rate by up to 50%. Take it so that you can sign a Soul Pact with the Ghost Dome King as soon as possible and head to Colorful Dome City,” said Ye Qingzi as she handed Chu Mu a little bottle.
“A Soul Power recovery potion?” Chu Mu looked at the small bottle of blue liquid handed to him by Ye Qingzi, his eyes reflecting surprise.
From what Chu Mu knew, recovery potions usually included those for stamina, mental power, wound healing, and status recovery. This was the first time he had heard of a Soul Power recovery potion.
During a battle, Soul Pet Trainers had to carefully weigh the Soul Skills they used. Because once their Soul Power was exhausted, they could no longer switch Soul Pets.
As such, Soul Power was extremely important for battles, and among the numerous potions available, only the ones for promoting rapid Soul Power recovery were extremely rare.
Therefore, when Ye Qingzi mentioned a Soul Power recovery potion, Chu Mu was understandably intrigued.
“This is a potion that my teacher and a few other Spirit Masters exclusively control. Its side effect is that the more times you use it, the less effective it becomes. It’s generally used as a backup for those who haven’t used it before. You can use it with confidence, or if you think it’s not necessary, you don’t have to drink it,” explained Ye Qingzi, noticing Chu Mu’s doubts and speaking with a calm tone.
“I’m not doubting you. I just didn’t expect you could concoct such a precious potion,” Chu Mu hastily explained, seeing Ye Qingzi’s implication.
(Third Chapter for Today)
(Maintaining regular updates for five days straight, which is a good start for February. In the future, I will try my best to maintain this update speed.
The number of monthly tickets has noticeably decreased, and Little Fish understands why, given the chaotic updates during that period. However, I still hope that everyone can support Charming Pet with a few monthly tickets, and also give Charming Pet some support with recommendation votes after reading the novel. Thank you, everyone)
