Chapter 481: Chapter 354: The Eight Stages, Demon Spirit Ye’s Dream (Part 1)
An overbearing aura rushed forth, arrogant, ferocious, and raging. The Rank 9 Middle Grade Horror Wolf sprinted at the front, and the anger it felt could be seen through its eyes!
“Howl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
With a roar, it transformed into a cold gust of wind, and the beastly aura of the Horror Wolf grew closer and closer.
The Horror Wolf was targeting Mo Ye because it had witnessed Mo Ye slashing its companion’s body with flame-imbued claws, then burning its companion to ashes with those flames.
“Mo Ye…” Chu Mu gave Mo Ye an order, directly instructing him to face the Rank 9 Middle Grade Horror Wolf!
Mo Ye’s strength was now only comparable to the White Nightmare Demon. When the Rank 9 Middle Grade Horror Wolf was fighting back then, the White Nightmare Demon had dealt some soul damage to it, but it couldn’t hold on for long and was still severely wounded by the Rank 9 Middle Grade Horror Wolf.
This time, Chu Mu had no choice but to let Mo Ye, whose strength was similar to the White Nightmare Demon, fight the Rank 9 Middle Grade Horror Wolf alone!
Chu Mu knew that having Mo Ye fight the Rank 9 Middle Grade Horror Wolf alone was a bit of a stretch, especially because the Horror Wolf also possessed the Bloodthirsty Berserker skill.
However, Chu Mu could no longer continue fighting by constantly switching Soul Pets as before because Chu Mu now had only three combat-capable Soul Pets left: Night Thunder Dream Beast and Zhan Ye, both of which had to fight against a Rank 9 Low-Grade Horror Wolf individually.
“Whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo!!!!!!!!!”
Mo Ye was aware that this was a challenge beyond its level. At this point, its silvery-white body was still covered in dried blood stains, appearing like a tea-red color, adding a few similarities to the ferocious and vicious aura of the Horror Wolf.
Mo Ye did not shrink back in fear, and instead directly counterattacked the Rank 9 Middle Grade Horror Wolf’s onslaught, engaging in a fierce battle with it!
The sharp claw blades intertwined, and the powerful aura clashed. Mo Ye hadn’t fought a soul pet much stronger than itself alone for a long time. Facing the Rank 9 Middle Grade Horror Wolf alone fully unleashed Mo Ye’s innate wildness. Even though it knew its strength was outmatched, it showed no signs of retreat or fear!
Chu Mu had absolute confidence in Mo Ye. He knew that in this state, Mo Ye would have little chance of defeating the Rank 9 Middle Grade Horror Wolf, but he was certain that Mo Ye wouldn’t lose easily. Whether they could win in the end depended on finding a key to change the situation during the battle.
“Howl!!!! Howl!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
As the Rank 9 Middle Grade Horror Wolf started to fight Mo Ye, the other two Rank 9 Low-Grade Horror Wolves appeared!
“Zhan Ye!” Chu Mu glanced at the ink-colored armor on Zhan Ye beside him and instructed him to face the slightly stronger Rank 9 Low-Grade Horror Wolf head-on!
Zhan Ye had already used Limb Regeneration once, and now, it was at Seventh Rank, Sixth Stage under the effect of Courageous Sting’s Heart. Its strength was still somewhat inferior to the Rank 9 Low-Grade Horror Wolf.
However, Chu Mu was very reassured of Zhan Ye, as the combination of Limb Regeneration and Courageous Sting’s Heart was perfect. Initially, Zhan Ye might be continuously attacked, but as soon as its rank increased in battle, there was no way the Rank 9 Low-Grade Horror Wolf would be able to compete!
Zhan Ye’s fighting spirit was not at all influenced by the strength of its opponents. Perhaps the stronger the enemy, the more intense Zhan Ye’s fighting fire would be.
Facing the stronger Rank 9 Low-Grade Horror Wolf, Zhan Ye took the initiative to charge towards it and launched the first attack!
Zhan Ye excelled in close-quarters combat. After landing a strike, it tightly entangled the Rank 9 Low-Grade Horror Wolf, not giving it a chance to gather power and keep its distance.
In fact, the Horror Wolf was also a melee-type soul pet. This Rank 9 Low-Grade Horror Wolf, with a somewhat arrogant attitude, fought Zhan Ye in a cramped space, seemingly believing that it wouldn’t take much time to tear this weak black soul pet to shreds.
“Ye!”
At Chu Mu’s command, the Night Thunder Dream Beast faced the other Rank 9 Low-Grade Horror Wolf.
The Rank 9 First Stage Horror Wolf that the Night Thunder Dream Beast faced was the weakest of the three, but the Night Thunder Dream Beast was only at Seventh Rank, Ninth Stage, so there was still a gap in their strength.
What Chu Mu worried the most was the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s situation. The gap in rank meant that its Demon Spirit skills were somewhat restricted. In addition, the Night Thunder Dream Beast was inherently a restrictive soul pet. When the Demon Spirit skills could not effectively restrict the opponent, fighting a strong Horror Wolf could easily result in death.
The only combat-ready Soul Pet in Chu Mu’s Soul Pet Space was the Ghost Dome King. After the Ghost Transformation, the Ghost Dome King’s defense could reach the Eighth Rank Late Stage, which could withstand some of the attacks from the Rank 9 Horror Wolf. However, the speed of the Ghost Dome King would become extremely slow, making it easy for the Horror Wolf to toy with it by merely moving around. Thus, summoning the Ghost Dome King was not very meaningful, and Chu Mu would rather use his soul power to release Soul Skills.
The Night Thunder Dream Beast’s battle was very passive, constantly dodging from beginning to end. The Horror Wolf was also fast, and not long after the battle began, the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s body had many wounds.
Chu Mu also knew that the outcome of this battle depended on the Night Thunder Dream Beast because once it lost its combat power, the Ninth Stage Horror Wolf could attack Mo Ye or Zhan Ye, resulting in a complete defeat for his team.
“Night, stay calm,” Chu Mu said as he rode on the Night Thunder Dream Beast and carefully guided it in battle using his heart’s commands.
Chu Mu’s weight had virtually no impact on the Night Thunder Dream Beast. He controlled it in battle to unleash a soul skill at a critical moment, preventing the Horror Wolf from inflicting heavy damage.
“It’s the Wolf Dance skill, Night! Use Dream Weariness!” Chu Mu exclaimed.
Back then, the Rank 9 Mid-Grade Horror Wolf unveiled the deadly Wolf Dance skill, creating dozens of wolf shadows that were incredibly lethal and difficult to dodge.
Knowing that it was impossible to avoid, Chu Mu didn’t try to make the Night Thunder Dream Beast dodge, testing whether the Dream Weariness skill could successfully disrupt the Rank 9 Mid-Grade Horror Wolf.
As the beastly aura continued to spread, the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s Dream Weariness skill was unleashed at this moment. However, the skill did not succeed; the Horror Wolf’s spirit was not that weak, and it overcame the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s mental weariness, continuing to use Wolf Dance!
More than ten wolf shadows lunged, their sharp claws interweaving in the area at an alarming frequency. The Night Thunder Dream Beast soon suffered several moderate wounds, and Chu Mu was not spared either, being slashed in the chest and arm.
“Continue!” Chu Mu urged the Night Thunder Dream Beast without hesitation, knowing that dodging would only lead to more attacks under the assault of these wolf shadows. The key was to break its skill to avoid falling into a passive state quickly.
The Night Thunder Dream Beast hastened its movements, causing the Dream Horn to emit dream waves, slowly infiltrating the center of the beastly aura.
“Awoooo”
This time, the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s Dream Weariness skill succeeded in wearying the Horror Wolf’s spirit, causing it to emit a confused howl as the concentrated beastly aura gradually dissipated, and the fearsome wolf shadows vanished.
“Nightmare!”
As the Fierce Wolf’s skill effect disappeared, Chu Mu immediately commanded the Night Thunder Dream Beast to approach the Horror Wolf and unleash the Nightmare skill, which magnified the enemy’s fear!
The Nightmare skill was also a dreamland skill. Through the darkness effect of the Night Thunder Dream Beast, it created a nightmarish dream world, intensifying the opponent’s inner fear. If the enemy’s spirit endurance was too weak, their mind could collapse directly.
The dream wave spread, and this time the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s dream world successfully trapped the Horror Wolf, making its eyes widen in fear. Now that the Horror Wolf faced the Night Thunder Dream Beast, it could only wield 80% of its strength!
As long as they could reduce the Horror Wolf’s combat power by 20%, they could hold on until Zhan Ye’s stage increased. Chu Mu could then have Zhan Ye confront the two Level 9 Low-Grade Horror Wolves head-on and look for opportunities to kill them using soul skills!
“Awooo!! Awooo!!!!!!”
Suddenly, the Rank 9 Mid-Grade Horror Wolf fighting Mo Ye let out a deafening howl!
This howl was undoubtedly aimed at the Night Thunder Dream Beast, as the Horror Wolf leader had noticed that one of its underlings was about to fall under the Nightmare skill’s influence!
As formidable as the Rank 9 Mid-Grade Horror Wolf’s roar was, the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s rank was weaker, and its Nightmare skill, despite being successful, could not genuinely take effect…
Chu Mu furrowed his brows. He quickly realized that under the encouragement of the Mid-Grade Horror Wolf, the Rank 9 Low-Grade Horror Wolf not only woke up instantly but also revealed a fierce glint in its eyes, suddenly accelerating its charge towards Chu Mu and the Night Thunder Dream Beast!!
Chu Mu hastily recited a spell, casting the Demon Tree Warrior’s Blood Wooden Armor on the Night Thunder Dream Beast!
“Swish! Swish! Swish!”
Sharp claws continuously grazed Chu Mu and the Night Thunder Dream Beast, leaving deep slashes that reached the bones. The Level 6 Soul Armor and Ran Wood Armor provided some defense, but the Rank 9 Horror Wolf’s attack was formidable enough to break through easily…
Blood spurted out, and dozens of deep wounds appeared on Chu Mu’s body, while the side of the Night Thunder Dream Beast became a bloody mess, with deep red blood flowing incessantly!
“Hee!” The Night Thunder Dream Beast let out a pained cry, its black eyes suddenly deepening upon being injured!
Purple arcs of electricity flickered through the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s body, dark energy spreading ruthlessly along with it. The wicked and cold aura it emitted instilled a sense of fear. Unlike before, the Night Thunder Dream Beast did not back away, but instead stood proudly, enduring the series of attacks from the Horror Wolf while calmly gathering a mysterious power!
