“O”

A distant cry came from the gloomy forest, causing the surrounding leaves on the trees to tremble noticeably.

“Did you hear the cry just now?” Old Zheng, who had ambushed Chu Mu earlier, spoke up.

“What’s the big fuss? Isn’t it just a soul pet’s cry?” The coarse man in shorts replied.

“It sounds like the cry of that soul pet master’s Demon Tree Warrior from earlier. This kind of voice is like that of a calm wild beast. It seems that only the Demon Tree Warrior would make such a call.” The teenager Ting Nan chimed in.

“Oh? Have they entered the interior of the Bloodsucking Wood Monster Territory? That would be suicidal.” Old Zheng laughed.

“No wonder we couldn’t find him all this time. He’s actually hiding inside the Bloodsucking Wood Monster Territory.” The swarthy Brother Jiang, who led the thugs, spoke with an evil grin on his face.

“We shouldn’t be far from him. Let’s go after him.” The coarse man in shorts suggested. After finishing his sentence, he took the lead to ride his soul pet in the direction of the sound, followed by the others.

Inside the gloomy forest, all trees within a twenty-meter radius around the Demon Tree Warrior have withered. These trees have been absorbed by the Demon Tree Warrior, using their life force to nourish itself.

During the previous battle, the Demon Tree Warrior had lost a third of its combat power. After continuous absorption, its combat power had been restored to its original state. Chu Mu could even sense the wild beast-like aura emanating from the Demon Tree Warrior, making its power grow.

“Growth? Or is it a temporary increase in strength due to excitement, like Blood Pupil Frenzy?” Chu Mu looked at the Demon Tree Warrior, unable to reach a conclusive judgment for a moment.

At this point, the Demon Tree Warrior’s eyes were blood-red, an obvious result of the fusion of Crown Blood Fat and Blood Amber. The sudden increase in strength of the Demon Tree Warrior puzzled Chu Mu. He couldn’t tell whether it was temporary or a genuine power boost.

“Can absorb trees, but their energy is too little. Sucking in over a hundred of them barely managed to replenish its combat power. This would not be very effective in battle.” Fox Elder stroked his silver beard, still pondering the Demon Tree Warrior’s ability.

“Have you figured out what this skill is?” Chu Mu asked.

“This… In my opinion, it seems somewhat similar to Blood Siphon…” Fox Elder could only provide such an answer in the end.

Chu Mu twitched the corner of his mouth. Fox Elder’s words meant nothing, Chu Mu might as well communicate with the Demon Tree Warrior himself.

However, just as Chu Mu was about to inquire about the Demon Tree Warrior’s differences, his Soul Sense suddenly detected several soul pets rushing toward them.

“Whoooooosh”

The sound of wind blowing, dry leaves being stepped on, and branches being snapped…

Chu Mu had already sensed several people approaching. A vicious smile with a hint of bloodlust appeared on Chu Mu’s face as the ruckus from these thugs signaled their incompetence in wild forest combat. The noises they made were akin to bellowing, “We’re coming to kill you… ”

“Great, let’s see what effect this skill has!” Chu Mu expertly hopped onto a tree trunk, having his three soul pets hide discreetly within the shadows of the trees, waiting for the unscrupulous soul pet masters to appear.

The sound grew closer. Those clumsy fellows exposed their whereabouts without any reservation. The coarse man in shorts leading the charge had stepped on and broken several branches, allowing Chu Mu to lock onto him in an instant!

“Demon Tree, bury your roots underground 100 meters ahead.” Chu Mu used his Soul Sense to give directions to the Demon Tree Warrior hiding among the trees.

The Demon Tree Warrior stood silently in the shadow of the gray tree crown. In front of it were a few beams of light falling down. However, this didn’t affect its concealment.

With no need for any movement, the Demon Tree Warrior’s roots stealthily slithered underground like poisonous snakes, slowly setting up a root trap at a location 100 meters ahead of it.

The rough man in shorts rode an Eighth Stage Fierce Wolf. Judging from the Fierce Wolf’s physique, this soul pet had undergone some fortification, and its combat power was probably on par with some War General level soul pets…

The Fierce Wolf had a fierce appearance, its pale fierce fangs fully exposed to the air. As it ran, it opened its large mouth wide, looking like a violent creature ready to pounce on its prey at any moment.

“He should be nearby, that kid won’t run far!” The rough man in shorts stopped and looked around for Chu Mu’s whereabouts.

Leading his other four teammates by more than a hundred meters, the rough man had always liked to run ahead because his Fierce Wolf was much faster than the others’. He naturally wanted to show off his advantage.

However, unbeknownst to him, a pair of black eyes was watching him from fifty meters away, on a gray tree crown. A cold and ruthless smile began to spread across Chu Mu’s face.

“Root Binding!”

Finally, Chu Mu issued the command!

If the coarse man in shorts had continued running, with the speed of his fierce wolf, there would have been a small chance he could have avoided the trap set by the Demon Tree Warrior.

However, this guy seemed to have a death wish, stopping right where Chu Mu had set the trap, looking around. It was like he was offering his neck to Chu Mu, the mad killer. Chu Mu would’ve felt guilty if he didn’t kill him given such a good opportunity.

“Woosh”

Leaves fluttered all over the ground, and suddenly a dozen or so incredibly tough demonic tree roots emerged from the soil. They quickly wrapped around the fierce wolf’s legs, completely entangling its nearly four-meter-long body!

“Awoo!!!”

The fierce wolf let out a panicked cry. Just as it tried to break free, it found itself unable to move, entangled by the roots.

The coarse man’s face changed, and he hastily began to chant a spell, wanting to summon another soul pet to help him escape this predicament.

“Zhan Ye, Sky-Splitting Claw!”

With its Dark Attribute, Zhan Ye could easily conceal its presence within the gloomy forest. It was actually hiding within twenty meters of the fierce wolf!

Unleashing Dark Strike, within less than a second, Zhan Ye’s incredibly sharp Claw Blade appeared in front of the coarse man.

At level 6, Zhan Ye’s Soul Claw shone brightly, making the Claw Blade even more lethal. The Sky-Splitting Claw easily tore apart the coarse man’s defensive skill, the Larva. The defense of level 7 was like nothing to the Claw Blade with the power of level 8!

Black Armor Thorn!!

Zhan Ye had already closed in, and suddenly, the Black Armor Thorn pierced the soul pet master the instant he finished his spell. Ignoring his useless fifth-level soul armor, the thorn went straight into his chest and abdomen, penetrating through!

“Roar!!!!!!!!”

With a bloodthirsty roar, Zhan Ye pierced the man with the Black Armor Thorn on its back, then threw him violently. A spray of fresh blood splattered mid-air, falling onto the ground covered in yellow fallen leaves.

With their master dead, the Eighth Stage fierce wolf had no chance of surviving. The bloodstained Demon Tree Warrior appeared with its demonic tree roots, piercing the Eighth Stage fierce wolf’s body countless times, drenched in blood…

The coarse man’s body lay bloody in front of the other four, separated by only a hundred meters. The other four were stunned by the sight, never expecting their teammate to be killed so easily!

“Kill him for me!!” The swarthy leader was furious, with veins popping out on his face. He summoned his Bloodsucking Wood Demon!

Old Zheng’s summoning speed was also fast. He summoned his Bloodsucking Wood Demon and controlled his own soul pet at the same time!

At Level 6 Rank 9 and Level 6 Rank 8, the two Bloodsucking Wood Demons targeted the Demon Tree Warrior standing under the two dark trees and threw four Piercing Branches at its body!

“Oh”

The Demon Tree Warrior had poor evasion ability. When it saw the four Piercing Branches flying towards it, it didn’t even bother trying to dodge, letting them penetrate its chest.

As the Piercing Branches appeared with tiny needles, they started to siphon the Demon Tree Warrior’s blood. The Demon Tree Warrior swung its arms and, closing the distance of nearly sixty meters, its Piercing Branches stabbed into the chests of the two Bloodsucking Wood Demons!

“Humph, isn’t this just asking for death! Blood Siphon, drain its blood!” The swarthy Brother Jiang sneered.

The Demon Tree Warrior’s Piercing Branches only had the ability to puncture, but his Bloodsucking Wood Demon could drain blood!

The two Bloodsucking Wood Demons sucked blood at the same time. Within a few seconds, half of the Demon Tree Warrior’s blood was lost, along with half of its combat power!

“Turn it into a dry tree!” Old Zheng also shouted, letting the Bloodsucking Wood Demon suck the blood frantically.

“Oh”

Suddenly, the Demon Tree Warrior let out an angry roar. Its Piercing Branches started to wriggle, and as they wriggled faster, the wounds created by the Piercing Branches started to heal!

Chu Mu was somewhat astonished by the Demon Tree Warrior. It had almost lost half of its blood just then, but after the Piercing Branches started to wriggle, its blood loss not only stopped, but began to recover rapidly.

Even when simultaneously being siphoned by two Bloodsucking Wood Demons, the Demon Tree Warrior’s wounds could still heal. This meant that the Demon Tree Warrior’s blood-siphoning ability was more than twice as fast as the Bloodsucking Wood Demons’ sucking speed!!
