Chapter 363: 249: Shocking Souls in Ye City
Translator: 549690339
People have been moving out of the Central City West Street since a few days ago, finding temporary places to stay elsewhere. After all, the serial brutal killings happened there, so naturally, residents without any combat power could not live there peacefully.
In recent days, the air guards from Li City also increased patrols in Central City West Street. These Soul Pet Masters flying in the sky, maintaining order in the West Street, occasionally saw some strange shadows darting from one street to another, disappearing quickly like black cats.
However, they had no idea what those things were, and could only assume they were some people’s pets running around at night.
Before even reaching late at night, West Street had already become very quiet. Approximately three squads of air guards were patrolling in the sky above Central City West Street. They didn’t fly too high since it would make it difficult for them to detect anything unusual.
“Team Leader, there’s a Soul Pet Master riding a black Soul Pet running wildly in the Ancient Tung District. Something’s strange!” Reported an air guard who just came back from patrolling the Ancient Tung District.
“Ancient Tung Lane? Isn’t that where Chu Chen is supposed to pass by? Could it be…” Dongqing suddenly realized something and said to the others, “Quick, follow me!”
Dongqing’s Cliff Feather Bird flew at the fastest speed, covering more than fifty meters with a flap of its wings as it flew towards the Ancient Tung District.
The Cliff Feather Bird flew at an altitude of about one hundred meters. From that height, it could see the criss-crossing alleys of West Street. Although Dongqing didn’t see anything lurking in the residential areas, he still felt something unusual.
In about five minutes, riding the Cliff Feather Bird, Dongqing finally approached the Ancient Tung District.
Dongqing didn’t see Chu Mu’s figure but discovered several corpses covered in fresh blood in the dark alleys. These were the residents living nearby!
“Check if there are any survivors!” Dongqing’s face showed a hint of anger as he shouted at the air guards behind him.
The air guards also saw the corpses of the dead residents on the street and looked very serious, hurriedly descending from the sky to search for survivors.
Dongqing continued to fly, passing through the intricate Ancient Tung Lane. When he arrived at a more remote city forest area, he chillingly found that there had already been thirty corpses from just now to here!
Thirty corpses in one night, and all of them were powerless common people. As a Deputy Captain of the Sky Guards, Dongqing was furious.
Dongqing recited a spell and opened the Soul Contract Pattern, summoning another Winged Soul Pet.
“Go, tell Brother what happened here!” Dongqing said to his Soul Pet.
“Yi” The Soul Pet let out a long cry, flapping its wings and flying towards the prosperous main street of Central City.
“Up ahead!” After flying past a low tower light, Dongqing finally spotted Chu Mu.
However, what shocked Dongqing was that in the intertwined alleys, there were more than a dozen cat-like creatures chasing after Chu Mu’s Night Thunder Dream Beast!
From a bird’s eye view in the sky, the Night Thunder Dream Beast was galloping through the residential areas like a bolt of lightning. It sometimes passed through straight alleys, sometimes changed directions like a flash, sometimes leaped, and jumped on walls and rooftops…
Despite the constant changes and movements, those dozen or so black cat-like creatures kept launching attacks on the Night Thunder Dream Beast from all directions, leaving a series of chilling claw marks in the residential area!
“Such incredible speed!!” Seeing the Night Thunder Dream Beast speeding agilely under the moonlight, Dongqing couldn’t help but exclaim.
At this moment, the speed demonstrated by the Night Thunder Dream Beast was more than twice as fast as when it was competing with Miss Sha. If the Night Thunder Dream Beast had competed with this speed at that time, Miss Sha could have easily been left behind by a thousand meters!
“This Chu Chen hid his strength. This Night Thunder Dream Beast has clearly reached the High-level Exquisite Evasion!” Dongqing whispered.
Dongqing knew that now was not the time to be surprised, so he drove the Cliff Feather Bird to dive down, close to the roofs, and approached Chu Mu and the Night Thunder Dream Beast.
“Brother Chu Chen, quick, step into the sky!” Having realized that those fierce creatures were very difficult to deal with, Dongqing shouted to Chu Mu on the ground.
“Wind Dragon Wrap!” Chu Mu recited the spell!
A dragon wind wrapped around Chu Mu and the Night Thunder Dream Beast, deflecting the incoming fierce creatures with Chu Mu’s Soul Skill. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Mu quickly urged the Night Thunder Dream Beast to fly into the sky.
The Night Thunder Dream Beast’s Ye Wu could not last too long. Chu Mu had already used it before, but those things were like shadows, always following persistently. Once the effect of the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s Ye Wu disappeared, they launched a frenzied attack.
Chu Mu had been chased from Ancient Tung Lane all the way to here. With the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s speed, it shouldn’t have been a problem to shake off wild Soul Pets, especially when using its Chasing Wind and Moon skill -Night Thunder Dream Beast could reach three times its top speed at its fastest.
But what puzzled Chu Mu greatly was that these things seemed to have some kind of ability, and whenever they were left behind, they would suddenly emerge from somewhere and continue the chase at the same pace as before!
Fortunately, Chu Mu had just learned how to combine Soul Sense and evasion. The Night Thunder Dream Beast’s Exquisite Evasion ability had also improved significantly. Otherwise, they would have been dragged into the blood pool along the way by these vicious creatures.
“Hoo”
The Night Thunder Dream Beast let out a long hiss, slightly shrank its front paws, and stomped hard on its hind paws. It leaped directly into the night sky, riding the wind dragon wrap and flying up to almost thirty meters in height.
Dongqing’s aerial control ability was also strong. When the Night Thunder Dream Beast arrived at the highest point, the Cliff Feather Bird happened to fly under it and allowed the Night Thunder Dream Beast to land stably on its back.
*hiss!!!* Hiss hiss hiss!!!!”
Seven or eight black cat-like creatures used the roofs of the houses as leverage, their claw blades open, rapidly leapt into the sky from various directions, and slashed at the Cliff Feather Bird, which had lowered its altitude!
“Light Barrier!” The spell was instantly completed. When Dongqing raised his hands high, a barrier of light enveloped the Cliff Feather Bird like a shield.
The creatures’ claw blades attacked the light barrier, but those with stronger powers pierced through the defense, slashing at Chu Mu’s Night Thunder Dream Beast and Dongqing’s Cliff Feather Bird. Bright red fresh blood sprayed out instantly!
“Ascend!”
The injury caused the Cliff Feather Bird’s body to tremble slightly, but it didn’t affect its flight. As its wings flapped, the Cliff Feather Bird shook up a gust of wind quickly, and its altitude rose sharply!
As the Cliff Feather Bird ascended, the ferocious creatures on the ground hissed in anger.
Chu Mu looked down at the creatures gathering on the rooftops, watched as they dispersed and then eerily disappeared deep into the alleyways, his expression also becoming solemn.
“Are you injured?” Dongqing’s face was solemn, no longer the same as his previous dandy appearance.
“My Dream Beast is injured. These creatures have poisonous claws, and your Cliff Feather Bird should have been poisoned too. Fly to my friend’s place, she is a Spirit Master who can heal them,” Chu Mu said.
Only then did Dongqing check the injury of the Cliff Feather Bird, and indeed, discovered that the wound of the Cliff Feather Bird had an unnatural green hue.
“Is this poison lethal?” Dongqing asked.
“Not sure for now, let’s get them detoxified first,” Chu Mu said.
Dongqing glanced down at the gloomy and desolate city district shrouded in haze, seemingly not very confident about the earlier ferocious Soul Pets, but thinking that if he didn’t detoxify the Cliff Feather Bird, it would be difficult for him to continue patrolling efficiently, he had no choice but to fly towards the Spirit Medicine Shop on West Street.
Chu Mu ran in the other direction. It had taken him about ten minutes to fly back just now. Fortunately, there were no strange things appearing around the Spirit Medicine Shop.
Dongqing drove the Cliff Feather Bird straight into the courtyard behind the Spirit Medicine Shop, but as he landed, a pair of shiny black eyes appeared from the shadows of the courtyard, staring coldly at Dongqing and the Cliff Feather Bird.
Just as Dongqing was about to chant a defensive spell due to the perceived danger, Chu Mu on the side stopped him and said, “That’s my friend’s Soul Pet…”
From the shadow of the courtyard, a Battle Court Black Beast with sleek black fur slowly emerged, its eyes cold and proud.
Ye Qingzi’s Battle Court Black Beast recognized Chu Mu, and it slowly walked around the Cliff Feather Bird before gradually returning to its original position and lying down, melting back into the shadows.
Dongqing deliberately glanced at the Battle Court Black Beast, which had successfully hidden its aura, and was secretly surprised. Chu Chen’s friend was indeed extraordinary, possessing such an amazing Soul Pet.
The door of the room gently opened, and Ye Qingzi, dressed in a silky soft gown, stood gracefully in front of the door.
Ye Qingzi should have been sleeping before. Her long hair was tied up and slid down to her full chest, her delicate face slightly drowsy…
Ye Qingzi was not the lazy type of girl. She became more awake after a brief adjustment, and her beautiful eyes looked through the darkness to Chu Mu and Dongqing in the courtyard.
“You’re here…” Ye Qingzi said, floating up a faint smile.
From the moment Ye Qingzi came out, Dongqing’s eyes were fixed on her, and he couldn’t help but reveal a hint of infatuation.
“Our Soul Pets have been poisoned, Qingzi, can you detoxify them?” After informing Ye Qingzi of his identity as “Chu Chen” through Soul Sense, Chu Mu briefly told her about what had happened earlier.
Ye Qingzi seemed to have already prepared the detoxification medicine, she went to the hall and brought out two bottles of green antidote in less than a minute.
“Apply it to your Soul Pets’ wounds, and the poison should quickly recede,” Ye Qingzi said.
Chu Mu took one of the bottles and applied the antidote to the wounded Night Thunder Dream Beast.
Dongqing also quickly applied the antidote, occasionally casting a few glances at Ye Qingzi…
“I felt it yesterday, but I didn’t expect so many to come out today.” Ye Qingzi led Chu Mu and Dongqing to sit down in the hall.
“Do you know what those things are?” Dongqing asked immediately.
“I have a rough understanding, but I’m not very sure,” Ye Qingzi whispered softly.
