Chapter 285: 163: Insect Blood, Insect Gallbladder

The city area was dark and desolate. Occasionally, half-encased corpses by the viscous liquid could be seen floating up to the surface. These corpses weren’t being eaten directly because the Sky Demon Worms wanted to “store” them for when the new Sky Demon Worms hatched. That way, there would be an immediate source of food for the hungry young demon worms.

“Does Ye Wansheng have a plant-type soul pet?” Chu Mu asked.

Ye Qingzi shook her head, her face becoming more serious.

“What’s the strongest Sky Demon Worm in this area?” Ye Qingzi asked.

“A level 8, rank 9, Six-winged Sky Demon Bug. It’s said that its attributes have been strengthened to some extent, and it’s not easy to deal with. Besides that, there are four lower-rank level 8 Six-winged Sky Demon Bugs. We have an expert here who can handle the Six-winged Sky Demon Bug King, but he cannot handle the other four. He is unwilling to act rashly without finding someone who can deal with these four level 8 Six-winged Sky Demon Bugs,” the man explained.

Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi exchanged a glance.

“We can each handle one of the lower-rank level 8 Six-winged Sky Demon Bugs.” Chu Mu said to the man.

“You two?” The man revealed a doubtful expression.

This man was the guard captain of this city area. His name was Zhang Qian, and he could also deal with a lower-rank level 8 six-winged Sky Demon Bug that hadn’t been strengthened. He currently had about thirty Soul Masters under him. With their combined efforts, they should be able to control the other six-winged Sky Demon Bugs, but three high-level experts capable of handling the level 8 Six-winged Sky Demon Bugs were needed.

There were such experts in Wogu City, but they had all been assigned to other city areas, resulting in an emergency in this area. Guard Captain Zhang Qian had been looking for them but hadn’t found anyone yet.

It was normal for Zhang Qian to distrust Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi as they appeared to be only about twenty years old. In Wogu Domain, only a few soul pet masters around twenty years old were capable of handling level 8 Commanders. He was worried that the couple was trying to show off in their haste to save the people trapped inside…

Ye Qingzi was indeed anxious for her brother. Seeing that the guard captain didn’t trust her and Chu Mu, she simply pointed at Chu Mu and said, “He is Chu Mtl.”

“I don’t care who you are, people’s lives are at stake…” Guard Captain Zhang Qian was saying when he suddenly realized that Chu Mu’s name sounded familiar. His voice gradually lowered, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. “You are the Prison Island King, Chu Mu?”

“Yeah.” Chu Mu nodded.

“That’s… that’s great… there’s hope, there’s hope.” Zhang Qian’s face immediately lit up with joy. He had naturally heard of Chu Mu’s name possessing the Nine-tailed Crown Flame Fox, he could be considered an expert. With his other powerful soul pets, it was no problem for him to deal with an unenhanced level 8 Commander.

“Tell us the situation and the plan first,” Chu Mu said.

Zhang Qian immediately adjusted his emotions and looked more serious. He began, “The expert’s soul pet has already scouted the area, and we can leave the latest level 8, rank 9 strengthened Six-winged Sky Demon Bug to him. For the remaining four, each of us – you, me, this young lady, and another guard from another city area — will deal with one. By the way, did you receive a guard’s task on the way here?”

“Yes, why?” Chu Mu nodded.

“Oh, he’s my friend. In that case, you two can deliver these two rings to their designated locations first. I’ll go call him and the other expert. We’ll start the operation tomorrow morning,” Guard Captain Zhang Qian said.

“No problem,” Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi both nodded.

“Remember to prepare plenty of antidotes. The venom of these Sky Demon Bugs is very potent,” Zhang Qian reminded them once more.

“She’s a Spirit Master,” Chu Mu said, pointing at Ye Qingzi.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qian’s eyes immediately brightened. Having a Spirit

Master in the team would significantly increase everyone’s safety, as Spirit Masters were undoubtedly skilled in healing, injury treatment, and detoxification abilities.

Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi were not far from the east of the city. Since the operation wasn’t starting until tomorrow morning, they didn’t need to rush. On their way back, Chu Mu summoned Zhan Ye and the Demon Tree Warrior, allowing them to deal with the Sky Demon Worms they encountered on the road and provide them with more training opportunities.

The two of them moved quickly, and about two hours later, they arrived at the eastern side of the city. They headed to the guard tower and handed over the rings to the guard who desperately needed food distribution.

The guard had initially planned to pay Chu Mu a commission, but Chu Mu didn’t need it. Instead, he exchanged a large amount of Sky Demon Worms’ blood from the guard’s hands.

“Collecting this blood was meant for the apothecary to process. After filtering out the toxins, it can be given to those who are dying of thirst. Since you need it, I’ll give it all to you. Thank you both for your help. The people of Wogu City will remember you,” the guard kept expressing his gratitude to Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi.

“This blood is only equivalent to about 70 Sky Demon Worms…” Chu Mu shook his head with a bitter smile. Although he had obtained a considerable amount of Sky Demon Worms’ blood from the guard, the blood was still far from the required quantity of 1000. Chu Mu felt the need to start killing more.

“My Pan Wood Spirit also needs training. Let’s go back to that area, eliminate some Sky Demon Worms at the edge of the nest, and collect more blood. You train your Zhan Ye, and I’ll train my Pan Wood Spirit,” Ye Qingzi suggested.

The battle would only begin tomorrow morning, and there was still some time before nightfall, so there was no need to hurry back.

“Yeah.” Chu Mu had the same plan; Zhan Ye’s combat power recovered quickly, and even after a night of continuous fighting, it would still be full of energy the next day.

“Has your Zhan Ye been nourished by the insect gallbladder?” Ye Qingzi asked Chu Mu.

“No, what’s up with the insect gallbladder?” Chu Mu revealed a puzzled expression.

“Then when you collect the blood, also collect the insect gallbladders. I’ll help you prepare a Level 5 insect gallbladder, which can speed up the strength improvement of your War Beast MO Ye. Oh, your MO Ye has a strong vitality; it should be fine to take a Level 6 insect gallbladder, so I’ll prepare a Level 6 one for you,” Ye Qingzi said.

Chu Mu didn’t expect the insect gallbladder to have such an effect. No wonder many people like to practice with Spirit Masters, as the Spirit Masters can always find various spirit items to help the Soul Pets improve their strength faster.

“Roar!! Roar!!!”

In the evening, angry roars could be heard coming from the narrow, deep streets on the edge of the Demon Insect Nest City.

A dark figure moved continuously in the darkness of the night, and the armored tiger body of Zhan Ye leaped fiercely. It jumped across the houses nearby, and after a few back-and-forths, landed directly on the rooftops. With a fierce hit, the Crushing Claw slammed into a Level 6 Six-winged Sky Demon Bug.

This Six-winged Sky Demon Bug was already wrapped tightly with roots spreading from the rooftop, making it impossible to dodge, so it could only use its six flesh wings to wrap around itself!

“Bang!”

With a faint light flashing, the Crushing Claw shot down, instantly shattering the flesh wings of the Six-winged Sky Demon Bug, with blood splashing out.

“Ink Armor Thorn!”

Upon the command, the Ink Armor thorns on Zhan Ye’s body extended fiercely and stabbed into the body of the Six-winged Sky Demon Bug!

The poison injected into the Six-winged Sky Demon Bug turned its shell dark and corroded its armor.

“Putt! Putt!”

Two sharp roots emerged bizarrely and pierced very accurately into the shell of the Six-winged Sky Demon Bug, penetrating its body directly, causing blood to flow out from its wounds…

Of course, it was Ye Qingzi’s Pan Wood Spirit that launched the Root Piercing. Ye Qingzi’s Pan Wood Spirit had reached the Fifth Rank, Stage 7, but its previous attacks had a hard time breaking the defense of this Level 6 Six-winged Sky Demon Bug. However, after Zhan Ye’s poison infiltrated the body of the Six-winged Sky Demon Bug, it was instantly pierced through without any hindrance.

“I’ve collected blood from 110 Sky Demon Bugs and 30 insect gallbladders. These 30 insect gallbladders should be enough to make a Level 6 gallbladder, right?” Chu Mu recalled Zhan Ye and asked Ye Qingzi nearby.

“Yes, it’s enough,” Ye Qingzi nodded.

After a whole night of almost non-stop fighting, Chu Mu’s Zhan Ye had improved from the Fifth Stage, Fifth Rank to the Fifth Stage, Sixth Rank. Ye Qingzi also said that a Level 6 insect gallbladder should make Zhan Ye increase by one more stage, so after tonight, Zhan Ye would enter the Fifth Stage Seventh Rank.

This speed of improvement should be considered fast. After all, Chu Mu’s

Ice-Feathered Spirit had reached the Sixth Rank Seventh Stage, and the Demon Tree Warrior was only at the Sixth Rank Fourth Stage. Zhan Ye has been able to catch up so quickly from such a low stage, its growth talent must be relatively high.

Chu Mu had Soul Pets for a relatively short period, about five years, and the stages of his pets were generally lower. Nevertheless, Chu Mu was able to defeat stronger opponents because he focused on strengthening his pet’s attributes.

Strengthening attributes can make a Soul Pet’s basic abilities more solid, but not upgrading the pet’s stage can also cause some obstacles. In the future, Chu Mu would focus on quickly upgrading his pet’s stage.

“Let’s rest for a while and recover our soul power. We’ll enter the Demon Insect Nest tomorrow morning,” Chu Mu said.

“Okay,” Ye Qingzi nodded.

There were still some intact houses in the city, and Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi stayed in one of them. As Soul Pet Masters, they had a heightened awareness and the strength to deal with the Sky Demon Bugs, so there was no need to hide in cellars.

Chu Mu maintained his good habit of meditating and began to recover his Soul Power. After Ye Qingzi had prepared the insect gallbladder for Chu Mu and taught him how to use it, she sat down and began to recover her Soul Power as well… (To be continued.
