Chapter 477: Chapter 350: Life and Death Chase in the Yellow Sand
Thirty meters underground, Chu Mu was somewhat slow to react this time, and he didn’t realize that Lu Shanli was still in this area.
Chu Mu knew that the Wind Sprites and Storm Spirits definitely couldn’t have left so easily. He still stayed underground, and due to the limit of the thirty-meter rock layer, Chu Mu couldn’t understand the situation on the ground…
The deadly gales howled across the open wasteland, and the abandoned objects within the wasteland were swept up by it, creating immense pressure on Lu Shanli and the others.
Lu Shanli clenched his teeth, wishing that he could tear the troublemaker into thousands of pieces.
The number of Wind Sprites and Storm Spirits was very large, and all these Soul Pets were within a two-to-three hundred-meter range. When they gathered together, sang together, and cast their abilities together, the destructive power they formed was far more terrifying than other types of Soul Pet groups.
“Retreat!” Finally, Lu Shanli had no choice but to give the order. As a dozen Ninth-level Wind skills wreaked havoc, even the powerful Lu Shanli couldn’t withstand their onslaught. Moreover, his Soul Pets had already been damaged in the battle against the Abnormal Leader.
The other three people were also very unwilling, with flames of anger almost spewing from their eyes. However, they were powerless against a huge group of Tenth-rank Wind Soul Pets, even though they often wandered in the Eighth-level Mysterious Realm. Without a comprehensive plan, it would be difficult for them to kill these Wind Soul Pets.
Taking advantage of the distance between the Wind skills and their location, all four of them jumped onto their Wind Demon Steeds.
Having chosen to retreat, this team was very decisive. They withdrew from this area quickly before the skills could sweep through, avoiding further losses.
Although the Demon Palace Four had fled, the Abnormal Soul Pet that fought with them did not escape.
This dark and abnormal Soul Pet ran wildly, but with its injured speed, it was impossible for it to escape from the devouring Wind skills. Eventually, it was swept into several Ninth-level Wind skills, its tiny body enduring the devastation of the strong Wind forces!
The attack range of Wind skills was very wide, especially when several Ninth-level skills overlapped. This formed into a disaster of Wind, leaving no piece of land unscathed. Even the broken walls and stones were tossed into the air, drifting at an altitude of hundreds of meters.
The anger of these Wind Soul Pets seemed to have been vented on the surrounding Soul Pets that had made their homes here. They kept releasing their skills, causing destruction non-stop. Almost all the surrounding areas of the Storm Zone had been ruined, and those Soul Pets that couldn’t bear the temper of the Storm Spirits had fled.
Since Chu Mu was deep underground, thirty meters below, these Wind Soul Pets finally dispersed, and began searching for the thief that stole the Ancient Wind Spirit.
Chu Mu was patient. He endured for another whole day, staying at the tight space in thirty meters underground with almost no air.
The Demon Tree Warrior, being a plant, was able to create sufficient oxygen for Chu Mu and Soul Pets when digging through the underground space. However, this supply was very limited. Chu Mu guessed that after about two days, the amount of oxygen created by the Demon Tree Warrior would not be enough for him and his Soul Pets to breathe.
Chu Mu didn’t know how much time had passed, but as his breath was gradually getting more difficult, he felt that it was time to return to the surface.
Chu Mu asked the Ghost Dome King and Demon Tree Warrior to slowly lift him up. When they reached the twenty-meter position, Chu Mu began to release his Soul Sense to search the surroundings, ensuring that there were no Wind Soul Pets nearby before finally emerging from underground to see the sunlight again.
“These Wind Soul Pets are really terrifying!” Chu Mu, upon returning to the surface, found that the ground was no longer the ground. The original desolate ancient city was already a vast ruin, with desolation everywhere, but now it wasn’t even a wasteland, but a scene of chaos after a disaster.
Chaos was everywhere, and the violent winds were still roaring. Seeing the surroundings, Chu Mu could imagine how terrifying it would be when those Wind Soul Pets gathered together in anger. They managed to overturn everything within this area of thousands of square kilometers…
Chu Mu also knew that Wind Soul Pets might still be around, so he didn’t stay for long. He put away the Demon Tree Warrior and Ghost Dome King, summoned the Night Thunder Dream Beast, and headed straight towards the position where he had entered the ancient city previously.
As Chu Mu escaped the area, he felt a surge of stormy aura around him. It was evident that the Wind Soul Pets hadn’t given up. As Chu Mu rode the Night Thunder Dream Beast not far away, the Wind Soul Pets let out angry cries and gathered together, with several other Wind Soul Pets following Chu Mu.
As the Night Thunder Dream Beast raced, its speed gradually increased. At first, the Wind Sprites and Storm Spirits could keep up, but as the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s speed increased, they were gradually left far behind.
Chu Mu didn’t linger at all and sped away in a flash. As long as he could escape this ancient city, the toughly attained 100 million bounty would be in his hands!
During his escape, Chu Mu didn’t encounter any obstacles and successfully left the ancient city through the gap where he had entered earlier.
After leaving, Chu Mu let out a long sigh of relief. The 100 million bounty was not easy to get. Including the Demon Palace Four, completing the bounty was not that simple. It seemed that once Chu Mu got back, he would have to negotiate the price with the employer again.
Not long after pulling the Ancient Wind Spirit into the ground, 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 looked for his location.
“Dada dada dada”
Suddenly, a few very faint hoofbeats could be heard from a distance!
The sound was quickly receding, making Chu Mu feel as if it had never appeared, but Chu Mu had just heard it very clearly.
“This sounds like the hoofbeats of a Wind Demon Steed?” Chu Mu’s perception was also extremely sharp, and he quickly realized that in the yellow sand three or four hundred meters away from him, one of the four from the Demon Palace was most likely present!
Previously, when Chu Mu had lured out those Wind Soul Pets, he didn’t know that his plan had disrupted Lu Shanli’s. It wasn’t until those angry Wind Soul Pets started to use their powerful ninth-level skills against Lu Shanli and his group, assuming they were on Chu Mu’s side, that Chu Mu realized Lu Shanli was still there.
Actually, though, Lu Shanli had also managed to divert the attention of those Wind Soul Pets for Chu Mu; otherwise, they wouldn’t have dispersed so easily.
“Did Lu Shanli intentionally wait outside the city for me?” Chu Mu muttered to himself.
The retreating Wind Demon Steed certainly wasn’t leaving but was going to call for reinforcements!
“Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop clip-clop”
It wasn’t long before hoofbeats approached from a distance, completely undisguised – it was Lu Shanli and his three companions!
“Night, leave this place as quickly as possible!” Chu Mu didn’t expect that he would provoke Lu Shanli, and his heart sank further, urging the Night Thunder Dream Beast to flee as quickly as possible.
Once the Night Thunder Dream Beast took a step, it was as swift as lightning, racing like the wind and disappearing from its original position almost instantly.
“Officer Lu, you are truly wise to know that the perpetrator must still be in the ancient city. Hmph, daring to target us, we’ll make them know the strength of Nightmare Demon Palace!”
“I’ll slowly burn their soul with my Blue Nightmare Demon, so they know how foolish it is to offend Officer Lu!” Each of them spat out harsh words.
Lu Shanli and his companions had been preparing for a long time to acquire the crystalline core of that abnormal Soul Pet, but they were foiled in the final seconds by someone else. Such resentment would indeed be hard to eradicate, considering that even the usually patient Lu Shanli was visibly angry on his face!
“I’ll chase them first, and you guys catch up as soon as possible!” realized that their opponent’s speed was also very fast, and if they ran like the others, they would be easily left behind.
“Officer Lu, wouldn’t it be unsafe for you?” The birthmark Soul Pet Master spoke up, concerned that Lu Shanli would be fighting the opponent one-on-one for a while before they caught up, which could be disadvantageous if the opponent were extremely powerful.
Lu Shanli simply gave a cold smile and didn’t say much, directly ordering his Wind Demon Steed to use acceleration skills!
A black chaotic wind surrounded the Wind Demon Steed as the force behind it slowly formed a peculiar black air current, continually pushing the Wind Demon Steed to speed up!
As the skill was used, however, the distance between Lu Shanli’s Wind Demon Steed and the other three Soul Pets widened, as they chased after the speedy black silhouette in the distance!
In the chaotic sands, Chu Mu urged the Night Thunder Dream Beast to keep running as he sensed Lu Shanli’s Wind Demon Steed slowly closing in!
In terms of speed, the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s nocturnal running ability was definitely superior to the Wind Demon Steed, especially the Dark Night Chasing the Moon effect which increased Night Thunder Dream Beast’s speed by four times, while maintaining this speed throughout the run.
If not for this special ability of the Night Thunder Dream Beast, it probably wouldn’t take more than a few minutes before it was caught by Lu Shanli’s Eighth rank, advanced stage Wind Demon Steed.
“Young Master, let me change your appearance first…” Fox Elder knew that Chu Mu had to maintain two identities at this point, and with a face that Lu Shanli probably recognized, they had to use disguise to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Chu Mu’s Disguise Technique was also somewhat advanced, and quickly Chu Mu’s facial features underwent a transformation, becoming softer and more handsome…
Chu Mu looked back, finding Lu Shanli only about four hundred meters behind him!
Once caught by Lu Shanli, Chu Mu would surely be plunged into crisis, and now he had to find a way to break free from Lu Shanli’s pursuit.
“Hmph, it’s just a nobody!” Lu Shanli quickly deduced the stage of Chu Mu’s Night Thunder Dream Beast and a cold smile appeared on his face!
