Supreme Tamer

Basin Jungle Grassland

Princess Jinrou sat on the green grass, her eyes fixed on the small pond ahead.

The small pond was actually just a puddle in a depression, covering an area of only about twenty meters. The water was calm, reflecting the star-studded sky…

For some reason, after Chu Mu left, an inexplicable unease arose in Princess Jinrou’s heart.

Princess Jinrou actually trusted Chu Mu to some extent because she knew Chu Mu’s character well. If she were to ally with him, he would guarantee her safety to a certain extent.

As for Liu Zhang, Jinrou’s trust in him was not very high, because she had not had much contact with him or had a thorough understanding of him.

“Master Liu, I feel like there’s some movement around here. Can you go check the south?” Princess Jinrou stood up and asked Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang surveyed the surroundings and said, “I just checked the area, and I even set up some small root traps between the trees. If someone passes by, I can tell. Maybe Your Highness is just overthinking it?”

Princess Jinrou still felt uneasy and pointed to the front of the pond, “I sensed something there, my Soul Sense intuition is strong…”

“In that case, let me have a look, but Your Highness, please be careful. This basin jungle is part of the Mysterious Realm, and it’s easy to get lost.” Liu Zhang nodded.

After that, Liu Zhang rode his Demon Spirit and headed in the direction pointed out by Princess Jinrou to investigate.

Liu Zhang’s Demon Spirit was fast, and several leaps brought him to the southern forest.

He didn’t stray too far, casually exploring the area.

There was no danger from the south, Liu Zhang was one hundred percent certain because this was already a territory controlled by their assassin camp. Apart from Soul Hall Chu Chen, who could infiltrate, there was no one else who could.

Moreover, Liu Zhang knew that Soul Hall Chu Chen must have been controlled by his subordinates by now.

Liu Zhang’s assassins were not in this area, and he knew everything about the surroundings. So, when Princess Jinrou asked him to check the south, he merely put on an act to ease Princess Jinrou’s doubts. This way, he could lead the little princess of the Nightmare Demon Palace into the trap.

It didn’t take long for Liu Zhang to return. He walked to the pond again, saying, “Your Highness, it is me. There’s no danger over there, you can come out now.”

The echo lingered in the forest, but Liu Zhang couldn’t find Princess Jinrou’s figure.

“Your Highness?” Liu Zhang purposely called out again, but there was still no answer.

Soon, Liu Zhang realized something was wrong. He searched everywhere but couldn’t find Princess Jinrou…

“Damn, she escaped!” Liu Zhang quickly guessed that Princess Jinrou had just intentionally distracted him. He cursed and immediately let out a shrill sound.

The sound cut through the silence of the jungle, echoing throughout the entire forest. It sounded like the cry of a night Soul Pet.

The sound passed by, and suddenly, shadows shot through the jungle. The rustling of leaves could be distinctly seen in all directions!!

“Whoosh~~~~~~~”

“Whoosh whoosh~~~~~~”

Dozens of shadows emerged from the forest, their cold green eyes flickering. The powerful beastly bodies ran forcefully between the trees, splashing grass and leaves, casting numerous shadows…

“Heh, an ingenious training rookie might think she can escape our pursuit?” Liu Zhang quickly spotted a streak of frost on the western side, which was undoubtedly left by Princess Jinrou’s Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon.

This careless mistake of leaving traces while fleeing was a common mistake made by many rookie trainers in the wild. Liu Zhang was surprised that Princess Jinrou could see through his disguise. But what could she do even if she had seen through it? If Soul Hall Chu Chen were still in the team, perhaps that guy’s terrifying ability to survive in the wild could shake off their assassins unnoticed.

However, Princess Jinrou alone could never escape. The forests were already filled with traps, and any accidental trigger would inevitably lead to being surrounded!

Liu Zhang rode his Demon Spirit, quickly chasing in the direction of the frost traces left by the Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon.

Soon, Liu Zhang’s figure disappeared in the green grass, and ripples slowly appeared on the pond’s surface…

Within the ripples, Princess Jinrou’s graceful figure slowly emerged under the moonlight. Her eyes, dazzling and enchanting even in the night, stared at the direction where Liu Zhang left.

Princess Jinrou always wore a veil, hiding her face. She could only see the anxiety in her gaze.

In fact, Princess Jinrou had not seen through Liu Zhang’s scheme at all.

Before that, she even preferred to trust the wandering Soul Pet Master who was willing to follow her.

In order to verify whether this person was truly trustworthy, Princess Jinrou deliberately diverted Liu Zhang and then created the illusion of herself having escaped.

If Liu Zhang was trustworthy, his first reaction would definitely be to worry about her and start searching for her.

However, if Liu Zhang had ulterior motives, then his first reaction when he found out she was missing would definitely be to expose his true colors!

It was not that Liu Zhang had been seen through, but that he had exposed himself. Princess Jinrou had simply grasped the psychological weakness of such people…

“What should we do now? Liu Zhang will definitely find out that the frost trace is fake soon…” Princess Jinrou furrowed her brows, trying her best to keep calm and think clearly.

The assassin was definitely targeting her; this much Princess Jinrou could confirm.

She was not familiar with the jungle environment, and no matter which direction she moved in now, she could unknowingly fall into their encirclement.

“Ice Crystal, can you sense Chu Mu’s Mo Ye aura?” Princess Jinrou knew that the only person who could help her escape this predicament was Chu Mu. She now regretted parting ways with him earlier.

“Woo woo woo~~~~~~” The Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon nodded its head.

The frost on the ice fox quickly covered its petite body. Countless ice crystals combined to freeze the little ice fox in Chu Lian’s state into a majestic ice sculpture.

Cracks soon appeared in the ice crystals. The imperial aura of the fox clan gradually released itself, and once all the ice crystals on the little ice fox’s body had fallen off, it transformed into the Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon.

Princess Jinrou jumped onto the Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon’s back, letting the Dark Demon Shura follow alongside them. She quickly approached Chu Mu’s direction, trying to find him before she was surrounded by the assassins…

Chu Mu’s current situation was not very optimistic. Nearly fifty soul pets were chasing him, and as long as Chu Mu made a wrong decision in direction or showed any delay in speed, he would be surrounded by these demon beasts and demon spirits, and would fall into an extremely dangerous battle.

Chu Mu had greatly underestimated the number of assassins. It seemed endless. Whenever Chu Mu was about to shake off his pursuers, one or two new assassins would lock onto him and continue the chase.

Mo Ye was very brave, having killed nearly ten green-eyed demon beasts along the way! During the several times when they were almost completely trapped, it was Mo Ye who fiercely fought for a way out.

“Woo woo woo~~~~~~~~~~~~”

As a member of the royal fox clan, Mo Ye seemed to have also sensed that the Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon was rapidly approaching Chu Mu’s direction. Mo Ye deliberately reminded Chu Mu with a sound.

“Mo Ye, let’s split up. You go and lead the princess to me. Let her join me as soon as possible. Be quick.” Chu Mu said.

Chu Mu alone was unable to deal with so many assassins. Now, he had to join forces with Princess Jinrou to fight against them; otherwise, both he and the princess would be directly eliminated in this seventh realm, and even their lives might be in danger.

“Woo woo woo!!!”

Mo Ye didn’t hesitate at all. The Crown Flame on its body suddenly surged, and its nine gorgeous tails swept across. Instantly, a large area of trees around them was set on fire!

Amidst the raging flames, the figure of Mo Ye quickly split into five and rushed towards five different directions at a rapid speed.

The surrounding green-eyed demon beasts could not tell which one was Mo Ye’s real body, so they attacked all five fire shadows trying to break through the encirclement.

“Woo~~~~~~~~”

One of the five false images was Mo Ye’s real body. The Crown Flame on its true body suddenly vanished completely. Just as the barrage of attacks was about to sweep over it, Mo Ye transformed into Chu Lian’s state. Its small body swiftly passed through the dense web of claw blades and agilely slipped into the forest lit by the flames, disappearing quickly…

“That Nine-tailed Flame Fox has escaped!” said the deputy leader of the assassins.

Above the tree crowns of the forest where the flames were raging, a man dressed in green clothes stood high above, looking down with a cold smile, “Don’t bother with that demon fox; follow me and capture Chu Chen!”

“Yes!”

Chu Mu had slightly distanced himself from the group of assassins for the time being. Now, without Mo Ye by his side, Chu Mu needed to be more careful; if he was cornered again, his life would be in danger.

The speed of the Night Thunder Dream Beast was constantly increasing, and under the effect of Dark Night Chasing Moon, it had already surpassed the speed of the assassin’s soul pets.

“Rip~~~~~~~~~~”

Suddenly, a fierce demon spirit leaped out from the left side of the Night Thunder Dream Beast. Its claws easily broke through the beast’s defense, leaving a striking mark on its body!

Fresh blood stood out prominently under the moonlight. The Night Thunder Dream Beast tilted, and after a brief period of disoriented steps, it barely managed to maintain its balance. Its readings immediately applied the Extreme Shadow skill and sped up once more!

Chu Mu’s heart skipped a beat as he glanced over and instantly saw the ferocious demon spirit with astonishing speed following closely behind them. And on the back of the demon spirit, a man with a vicious gaze was staring intently at Chu Mu!

“Shen Yicheng!” Chu Mu was shocked. The only assassin who could catch up with him was Shen Yicheng!

Chu Mu had already learned about Shen Yicheng’s presence in this mysterious realm, but he never expected him to be among the assassins!

“Chu Chen, you’re really digging your own grave!” Shen Yicheng said coldly with a sneer. (.)
