Chapter 476: Chapter 350: Pursuit in the Yellow Sand
Thirty meters deep underground, Chu Mu realized that he hadn’t noticed Lu Shanli still in the area.
Chu Mu knew that the Wind Sprites and Storm Spirits couldn’t possibly leave so easily. He stayed under the ground, but due to the limitation of the thirty-meter rock layer, he couldn’t understand the situation on the ground…
Deadly winds roared in the open wasteland while the abandoned objects in the wasteland were swept into the air by the vast energy, exerting tremendous pressure on Lu Shanli and the other three.
Lu Shanli gritted his teeth so hard that he wished he could dismember the guy who purposely caused such a mess.
The number of Wind Sprites and Storm Spirits was massive, and these Soul Pets were all gathered within a two to three hundred meter radius. When grouped together, their combined chanting and skill casting created destruction far more terrifying than that of other Soul Pet types.
“Retreat!” Finally, Lu Shanli had no choice but to give the order. A dozen Ninth-level wind type skills swept forward, causing cataclysmic destruction. Lu Shanli, no matter how powerful, couldn’t withstand it, especially since his Soul Pet’s combat power had already been damaged.
The other three were also extremely unwilling, and the anger in their eyes seemed to ignite. However, they couldn’t do anything in the face of a large group of Tenth-level Wind Element Soul Pets without a complete plan.
Taking advantage of the distance from the wind type skills, the four of them quickly mounted their Wind Demon Steeds.
Since they chose to retreat, the team was very decisive, and they quickly withdrew from the area before the skills could wreak havoc, avoiding further losses.
Although the Demon Palace Four had fled, the Abnormal Soul Pet they had fought against couldn’t escape.
The dark Abnormal Soul Pet tried to run desperately, but injured as it was, its speed undoubtedly couldn’t save it from the wind type skills. Ultimately, it was caught in several Ninth-level wind type skills, its tiny body battered by the powerful wind force!
Wind type skills have a vast range, especially when several Ninth-level skills are stacked together, forming a wind catastrophe. The places they swept through were left devastated, with even broken walls and rocks being thrown and swayed in the high altitude.
The anger of these Wind Soul Pets seemed to be vented on the surrounding creatures. They continuously unleashed skills, causing endless destruction. The Soul Pets who couldn’t withstand the violent Storm Spirits also fled the area one after another.
Since Chu Mu had been thirty meters underground the whole time, these Wind Soul Pets eventually dispersed, searching for the thief who stole the Ancient Wind Spirit.
Chu Mu indeed had patience, enduring an entire day in the airless depths.
Since the Demon Tree Warrior was a plant, it could create enough oxygen for Chu Mu and the Soul Pets when digging deep underground. But this supply was meager, and Chu Mu guessed that the oxygen created by the Demon Tree Warrior would be insufficient to meet the needs of Chu Mu and the Soul Pets after two days.
Chu Mu didn’t know how long time had passed, but he began to feel breathing difficulties and finally thought it was time to return to the surface.
Chu Mu commanded the Ghost Dome King and Demon Tree Warrior to slowly lift him up. When they reached a twenty meters high position, Chu Mu began to release his Soul Sense to detect the surroundings and ensure there were no Wind Soul Pets before finally crawling out of the ground to see daylight again.
“These Wind Soul Pets are really terrifying!” Chu Mu found that the ground wasn’t even ground anymore when he returned to the surface. The original Ancient Wasteland City was already a large array of ruins and desolation, but now it was a place of destruction after a catastrophe.
Murk enveloped the surroundings, with gusty winds slapping wildly. Chu Mu could only imagine how terrifying the anger of these Wind Soul Pets was when they gathered together, as they had managed to upend everything within thousands of meters…
Chu Mu knew that the Wind Soul Pets might still be around and didn’t linger. He recalled the Demon Tree Warrior and Ghost Dome King, summoned the Night Thunder Dream Beast, and ran towards the entrance of the ancient city he had come from before.
As Chu Mu escaped the area, he noticed the windstorm aura surrounding him. Obviously, the Wind Soul Pets hadn’t given up. When Chu Mu passed nearby on the Night Thunder Dream Beast, the Wind Soul Pets sent out angry calls and gathered a few more Wind Soul Pets to follow Chu Mu.
As the Night Thunder Dream Beast began to run faster and faster, the Wind Sprites and Storm Spirits could keep up at first, but as the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s speed increased, it gradually left the Soul Pets behind.
Chu Mu didn’t pause at all, and continued racing like the wind. As long as he could escape the Ancient City, the 100 million bounty would be his!
Chu Mu didn’t face much resistance along the way and successfully left through the gap he had entered the Ancient City from earlier.
After leaving, Chu Mu breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn’t easy to obtain the 100 million bounty. Including the previous encounter with the Demon Palace Four, it wouldn’t be easy for them to complete the bounty either. Chu Mu felt it was necessary to negotiate the price again with the employer once he returned.
Shortly after pulling the Ancient Wind Spirit underground, Chu Mu successfully put it into the Soul Capture Ring. After securing the ring, Chu Mu took out the map of the Ancient Wasteland and found his location.
“Clatter, clatter, clatter”
Suddenly, faint hoofbeats came from a distant location!
This sound was quickly moving away, making Chu Mu feel as if it had never been there, but he knew he clearly heard it just now.
“This sounds like the galloping of a Wind Demon Steed?” Chu Mu’s perception was extremely sharp, and he soon realized that, in the yellow sand some three or four hundred meters away, it could be one of the Demon Palace Four!
Chu Mu had no idea that he had disrupted Lu Shanli’s plan when he attracted those wind Soul Pets earlier. It wasn’t until those angered wind Soul Pets began to unleash their strong ninth-level skills on Lu and his group that Chu Mu realized Lu was still there.
Actually, Lu Shanli had helped Chu Mu divert the attention of those wind Soul Pets too. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have dispersed so easily.
“Could it be that Lu Shanli is intentionally waiting outside the city for me?” Chu Mu muttered to himself.
The Wind Demon Steed gradually heading away wasn’t leaving, but most likely going to call for its companions!
Quick galloping sounds approached from the distance without any attempt at concealment, it was the Demon Palace Four!
“Ye, leave this place as quickly as possible!” Chu Mu did not expect to run into Lu Shanli, and his heart sank further, urging the Night Thunder Dream Beast to flee quickly.
The speed of the Night Thunder Dream Beast had been increased, and once it stepped forward, it was like a bolt of lightning, swift as the wind and lightning, instantly disappearing on the spot.
“Officer Lu, you are truly wise, knowing that the troublemaker must still be in the Ancient City. Humph, daring to target us, we have to let him know the might of our Nightmare Demon Palace!”
“I’ll have my Blue Nightmare Demon slowly burn his soul, to let him know how foolish it is to offend Officer Lu!” The group spat out vicious words.
It had taken a long time for Lu Shanli’s group to prepare to obtain the crystallization of the different-race Soul Pet, and they were about to succeed when someone interfered. This resentment was hard to erase, and even someone as calm as Lu Shanli could feel the anger on his face!
“I’ll go after him first, you all follow up quickly!” Lu Shanli saw that the speed of the person was also very fast. If they all ran like this, they would be easily shaken off.
“Officer Lu, isn’t this unsafe for you?” asked the soul pet master with a birthmark. If Lu Shanli went after him alone, he would be fighting with his opponent one-on-one for a while. If the enemy was extremely powerful, it would be very disadvantageous for Lu Shanli.
Lu Shanli just sneered and curled the corner of his mouth, without saying anything more, and let the Wind Demon Steed unleash its acceleration skill!
Dark Chaos Wind swirled around the Wind Demon Steed, and this power slowly formed a special black-current, constantly propelling the Wind Demon Steed to speed up!
After this skill was deployed, Lu Shanli’s Wind Demon Steed gradually pulled away from the Soul Pets of the other three people, heading towards the fast-moving dark figure in the distance!
In the chaotic sandstorm, Chu Mu rode the Night Thunder Dream Beast, galloping endlessly, feeling that Lu Shanli’s Wind Demon Steed was closing in bit by bit!
In terms of speed, the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s running ability was superior to the Wind Demon Steed at night, especially under the effects of the Dark Night Chasing the Moon, which allowed the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s speed to be quadrupled and maintained consistently.
If it weren’t for this special ability of the Night Thunder Dream Beast, it would have been caught by Lu Shanli’s eighth-stage advanced Wind Demon Steed within minutes due to the difference in ranks.
“Young Master, let me change your appearance for you first…” Fox Elder also knew that Chu Mu had to maintain two identities now, and that Lu Shanli must know this face. To avoid unnecessary trouble, altering the appearance was essential.
Chu Mu’s disguise techniques were also quite decent, and he quickly altered his facial features, making himself appear softer and more handsome…
Chu Mu looked back and found that Lu Shanli was less than four hundred meters away from him!
If caught up by Lu Shanli, he would surely be in grave danger.
“Ye, take another route!” Chu Mu said to the Night Thunder Dream Beast.
Chu Mu had originally chosen a relatively safe route, but now that there was a strong enemy behind him, he had to risk stepping into the habitat of Soul Pets to find a chance to shake off Lu Shanli in that dangerous environment!
