Chapter 474: 348 Waiting for a hare in the stump, Ran Wood Trap

The Night Thunder Dream Beast was the first to jump into the pit previously dug by the Demon Tree Warrior. The roots of the Demon Tree Warrior were buried under the ground, and it was very easy for these roots to break open the soil.

The Demon Tree Warrior quickly grabbed Chu Mu and Mo Ye and disappeared under the ground.

The hole Chu Mu asked the Demon Tree Warrior to dig was very deep, at least twenty meters deep. The terrifying ninth-level hurricane could completely lift the surface of the ground. If they didn’t dig deeper, they would definitely be pulled from under the ground to within the hurricane.

“Rumble Rumble Rumble Rumble Rumble

The violent wind filled this deep hole, and Chu Mu could clearly feel that countless knife blades seemed to be crazily cutting this narrow hole above their heads, as though it would flip the entire ground surface at any moment.

Raising his head, what Chu Mu saw was a scene of terrifying chaos. Obviously, the ninth-level hurricane was already overhead. The power that caused the ground to shake and tremble frightened Chu Mu as well.

“The wisdom of a tenth-ranked soul pet is too high. It deliberately let Mo Ye approach, chanted the spell in advance, and then released the skill when it was at a distance that could not be dodged…” Thinking back to the situation just now, Chu Mu was also covered in a cold sweat.

The soul pets Chu Mu encountered in the past were limited in wisdom. If he used some tricks, they would generally be unable to see through them. However, these two Storm Spirits were truly cunning. Chu Mu almost paid a heavy price for this.

“Young Master, as you can see, these two Storm Spirits are outrageously strong. It’s better to give up.” Fox Elder said.

If he couldn’t think of a better way, Chu Mu indeed could only give up. After all, any ninth-level power skill was quite fatal to Chu Mu. He would definitely not rashly allow his soul pets to be injured for 100 million.

“The hurricane seems to be farther away.” Chu Mu raised his head and noticed that the turmoil above was gradually calming down.

“Yeah, Young Master, let’s leave here first. The Desert Mad Edge Scorpion should be easier to deal with.” Fox Elder said.

Chu Mu nodded and let the Demon Tree Warrior take him to the surface.

“Wait!” Suddenly, just as Chu Mu was half-risen, he instructed the Demon Tree Warrior to stop.

The Demon Tree Warrior raised its head and stiffened there with a confused face, watching Chu Mu.

“Young Master?” Fox Elder didn’t want any accidents to happen to Chu Mu. Sometimes it’s better to retreat when difficulties arise.

“Why should we go up?” Chu Mu seemed to be talking to himself, yet also seemed to be asking the Fox Elder.

“We can leave if we go up. Don’t you want to escape underground? Speaking of which, escaping underground is safer. Wind attributes skills are hard to penetrate into the rock surface.” Fox Elder replied.

Chu Mu’s eyes lit up. He had thought of a way to get past the two Storm Spirits!

“Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh”

An unusual gale came from the north, making it feel as though there was a Qin Tian Beast lying in the murky north, breathing a powerful breath towards this open land.

Lu Shanli stared at the tumultuous northern wind, his expression growing more solemn.

“Master?” Several other Soul Pet Masters also detected a strong wind energy appearing in the north. However, it gradually dissipated when it moved about five hundred meters from them.

“There must be something there.” Lu Shanli said.

“Then master, do we continue or…” the Birthmark Soul Pet Master asked quietly.

“It’s not urgent. We can’t miss out on the right timing. Let’s wait and see if anything unusual happens. Then we’ll act.” Lu Shanli replied.

“Yes!!” The three replied in unison.

The two tenth-ranked Wind Elves seemed to be steadfastly guarding their positions, their bodies hardly leaving their footprints.

As a matter of fact, a majority of the elemental soul pets also possess a strong sense of belonging. Elemental beings are nurtured in certain environments, and if not influenced by the external world, they would likely spend their entire life in the same place, slowly growing by absorbing the elements around them.

This ancient city in the wilderness has been around for thousands of years. It’s likely that this storm region has also existed for quite a long time. The longer the duration, the higher the life forms birthed from the storm grow and evolve. Creatures of ninth or tenth stages, which are rarely seen in other mysterious realms, appear frequently in this storm region.

Elemental soul pets have always been very powerful in terms of destructiveness. And the wind elemental, which is the most absolute ranged soul pet, can hold its own against three same-stage pets if it can maintain its battleground distance.

In close range, a wind elemental soul pet can use various wind-related defense techniques to throw its opponent far away. If those skills aren’t handled properly, the combat power of the wind elemental pet will be very formidable. This is a key reason why Chu Mu wants to possess a wind elemental pet.

Having a wind elemental soul pet would mean that not only can one overwhelmingly suppress an opponent with distant attacks, but also have excellent protection at close range, preventing the enemy’s soul pet from getting too close too easily.

Chu Mu decided to choose an elemental soul pet for wind series because only an elemental soul pet can truly unleash the power of the series. If a soul pet from a different realm was to control the wind attribute, even if it reaches the eighth rank Lord level, it may still struggle to create a ninth-level power.

For instance, Mo Ye, is up to the eighth stage, but if it was to purely release fire skills, its power would only be at a mid to late eighth level, far from the ninth-level skill.

On the other hand, if an Ice-Feathered Spirit achieves the eighth stage, controlling intermediate Ling Ice, it might be able to create ninth-level Ice power if given enough time to recite the spell.

Chu Mu decided to avoid confronting the powerful tenth rank storm spirit. To his surprise, the two highly intelligent storm spirits never thought that just when they had concluded the intruders had been ripped apart by their ninth-level storm, Chu Mu, with his three soul pets, had quietly passed through their defenses underground.

Unless wind skills can tear open the ground surface, they cannot pose any threat underground. Chu Mu came to this realization and decisively made the Demon Tree Warrior split the ground with its roots, cleverly evading the two tenth rank storm spirits via going underground.

Although Chu Mu’s perception is limited by the ground’s rocky strata, he can still manage to probe the ground situation through twenty meters of earth.

Having crossed the defensive line of the two tenth rank storm spirits by a hundred meters, Chu Mu started feeling the turbulence of the airflow on the ground surface increase significantly. It was clear that this area was a terrifying storm zone. If his soul pets were on the ground, their fighting power might decrease by as much as seventy percent.

The reduction of fighting power was not the most shocking revelation for Chu Mu. What astonished him further was that he sensed at least ten tenth rank storm spirits in this storm zone with his soul sense!

Ten storm spirits!

If they chose to hold their own territory and relentlessly unleash wind skills at the intruders on the periphery, not even a tenth rank commander would dare to step into their territory!

“This eight-level reward is extraordinarily challenging. The reward should at least be 200 million!” Chu Mu exclaimed with some resentment.

If it hadn’t been for Chu Mu’s sudden inspiration to enter this Storm Zone underground, depending completely on his strength to break in and capture the Ancient Wind Spirit, it would be nearly impossible to achieve without bringing along three Tenth Rank Commander-level soul pets. Chu Mu now understood why nobody had taken up this reward for capturing a Commander-level young pet. It seems like those experienced soul pet masters all knew that the Storm Zone in the Desolate Ancient City is no safe place at all!

Chu Mu was consistently utilizing soul power in his search effort. The Ancient Wind Spirit was not like other storm spirits. This little fellow was quite flighty, always flitting about. A few times it flew right past Chu Mu’s soul sense and quickly disappeared from the area Chu Mu could perceive.

Chu Mu felt it was ineffective for him to constantly move around and search. He decided simply to hide underground, allowing the Demon Tree Warrior to set up a Ran Wood Trap and then just silently wait in one place…

This kind of waiting demanded incredible patience. After all, the Ancient Wind Spirit was constantly flitting about in this Storm Zone. Chu Mu had no idea when it would pass by his trap. Would it take an hour, or an entire day?

But Chu Mu was not in a hurry. It was quite safe underground. While waiting, he could allow his soul pets to recuperate.

Naturally, the Ghost Dome King and the Night Thunder Dream Beast needed the most recuperation. In order to speed up the Ghost Dome King’s recovery for participation in battle, Chu Mu once again spent 500,000, making the Ghost Dome King recover faster on the following day.

After waiting approximately a full day, the Ghost Dome King’s injuries had recovered seventy or eighty percent. Thanks to the special characteristics of ghost lineage, the Ghost Dome King’s injuries would not affect its combat power. So, Chu Mu recalled the Night Thunder Dream Beast to the Soul Pet Space and summoned the Ghost Dome King, whose primary attribute was rock type, in front of him.

Suddenly, the Demon Tree Warrior issued a verbal alert to Chu Mu. The Ancient Wind Spirit had stepped into their trap!

After waiting an entire day, Chu Mu finally watched this mischievous little guy fall into the trap, and was quickly instructing the Demon Tree Warrior to activate the trap!

“Oh” The Demon Tree Warrior soon issued another alert to Chu Mu, notifying him that a Tenth Rank Storm Spirit had also stepped into the trap along with the Ancient Wind Spirit. If they activated the trap, the Tenth Rank Storm Spirit would get tangled too…

“Activate the trap! Seize the opportunity!” Chu Mu decisively said.

Underground, wind-type skills are severely hindered. Maybe the Ghost Dome King could fight a Tenth Rank Storm Spirit. Why should Chu Mu be indecisive!
