Once the base price appears in the reward, it means that the danger coefficient of the incident cannot be accurately estimated, and the minimum value of the danger coefficient is the price of the base price.

However, if the danger coefficient increases, the price will definitely rise. How much it will rise depends on the real level of the incident and the extent of the damage suffered by the person completing the task…

Chu Mu does need a considerable expense now. Of course, Chu Mu can be absolutely certain that the reward level for this incident is not ten million, and there is a very high possibility that it will be beyond his own capabilities.

That day, after Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi returned to the spirit medicine shop, Ye Qingzi went to prepare the potion to remove the poison from Ye Wansheng’s body.

Meanwhile, Chu Mu took out the Ran Wood Blood Crystal, which cost him 29 million gold coins, and used it to enhance the Demon Tree Warrior.

As the name suggests, the Ran Wood Blood Crystal is a spirit item that gives wood-type soul pets a high chance of comprehending Ran Wood Crystallization. This kind of spirit item often takes a long time to appear in the trading place. If it was not for Ye Qingzi’s reminder, Chu Mu might have missed the transaction of this spirit item, and would have to wait a long time for another opportunity to buy it.

Because of the fusion of Blood Amber and Crown Blood Fat, the Demon Tree Warrior has already developed to a certain extent towards the blood wood attribute. The Ran Wood Blood Crystal can be said to be the most suitable strengthening spirit item for the Demon Tree Warrior. Chu Mu was very careful in the process of strengthening the Demon Tree Warrior.

During the process of strengthening the Demon Tree Warrior, Chu Mu also had to make certain mental preparations, because the success rate of this spirit item was not one hundred percent.

Just like the Ice Snow Fruit, after it was taken by the Ice-Feathered Spirit, the Ice-Feathered Spirit did not immediately comprehend Ice Crystal. Instead, it increased the chance of comprehending the crystal to a certain extent. When its strength truly reached a certain level, or after being stimulated in some way, it might be able to truly master it.

Of course, it is also possible that even after absorbing this Ran Wood Blood Crystal, the Demon Tree Warrior still does not comprehend it in its subsequent growth and metamorphosis process.

The body of the Demon Tree Warrior was originally green. After gaining the Life Siphon ability, the body of the Demon Tree Warrior gradually showed some blood-red color. When Chu Mu slowly introduced the Ran Wood Blood Crystal into the body of the Demon Tree Warrior, more colors emerged from the skin of the Demon Tree Warrior, making it clearly visible that it was crimson…

The Demon Tree Warrior is wrapped in intermediate Demon Wood. After being nourished by the Ran Wood Blood Crystal, the Demon Wood gradually becomes more rigid and resilient.

When these vines, like Demon Wood, completely wrap around the body of the Demon Tree Warrior, it is like forming a Demon Wood Armor, protecting the body of the Demon Tree Warrior.

“Young Master, your old tree has comprehended a new skill called Demon Wood Armor, and it’s a racial skill!” Seeing this change in the Demon Tree Warrior, Fox Elder jumped up and said to Chu Mu.

Defense skills can be divided into two types based on their release methods. One is the augmentation method, similar to the Water Curtain Battle Armor of Ye Qingzi’s Water Moon, which can be applied to any soul pet and person, including itself.

The other is the autonomous racial skill, similar to the Ice Crystal Armor of the Ice-Feathered Spirit.

The Ice-Feathered Spirit itself does not have a very high defense, the reason why it is much higher than other soul pets is because the Ice-Feathered Spirit has a special racial skill – Ice Armor.

This Ice Armor effect is equivalent to constantly applying the Ice Armor skill to the Ice-Feathered Spirit, directly improving its defense.

Similarly, the racial skill Wood Armor that the Demon Tree Warrior has now comprehended has the same effect as the Ice-Feathered Spirit, directly raising the Demon Tree Warrior’s defense base. If Chu Mu could raise more money and equip the Demon Tree Warrior with a Seventh-Level Soul Armor, then the Demon Tree Warrior would truly be unstoppable on the battlefield!

“Seventh-Level Final Phase defense…” Seeing that the Demon Tree Warrior has comprehended a very important racial skill, a smile surfaced on Chu Mu’s face.

“It’s not over yet… It seems to be undergoing metamorphosis…” Fox Elder said.

Indeed, just after Fox Elder’s words, the whole body of the Demon Tree Warrior underwent a noticeable change. Its original height of more than two meters slightly increased, its trunk became thicker and more robust. Additionally, the reddish effect made it look like rusty steel, unyielding!

Metamorphosis is the soul pet’s various aspects manifesting a significant leap, especially the transition from Level 6 to Level 7!

The most obvious thing Chu Mu could see was the Demon Tree Warrior’s roots, which grew from over seventy roots to eighty roots. The mere increase in number alone could greatly enhance the power of its skills.

There was not much change in height, but the trunk and arms became more robust, and the wrinkles on the bark skin gradually showed a smooth appearance, making it look more like a steel casting.

The change in skin implies an increase in defense. After the Demon Tree Warrior metamorphosed to the Seventh-Rank, its basic defense reached the Seventh-Level Late Stage. Coupled with the Demon Wood Armor, the defense reached the Seventh-Level Final Phase, which was already very close to the Eighth-Level defense!

“Defense of the Seventh Level Final Phase can reach the Eighth Level if it can comprehend the Ran Wood!”

Currently, the Demon Tree Warrior has the highest defense among Chu Mu’s Soul Pets. It can play a significant role in group battles!

The vitality of the Demon Tree Warrior has also increased. According to Fox Elder’s analysis, the vitality of the Demon Tree Warrior is now 1.5 times that of the original. This means that the speed of the Demon Tree Warrior’s life siphon has increased by 1.5 times!

This siphoning speed probably leaves nothing left of a regular Level 6 Soul Pet’s life within 2 seconds.

Each soul pet’s vitality is different – some are weak, others are strong. For instance, Zhan Ye’s vitality belongs to the extremely untrustworthy type. Nevertheless, the vitality of Chu Mu’s other Soul Pets can’t be regarded as weak, but rather as normal types with unique advantages in other aspects.

After being baptized by the blood-stained wood, the Demon Tree Warrior’s wood attribute has exceeded the Peak Command and reached the level of Quasi-monarchs. Due to its two-fold vitality of the wood type, the vitality of the Demon Tree Warrior is twice stronger than a Seventh-rank, Quasi-monarch. This has given it a great advantage in battle, especially when the Life Siphon skill is available, which maximizes the value of its vitality advantage.

“Seventh Rank First-stage, Advanced Demon Wood; basic defense at Seventh Level Late Stage, Demon Wood Armor effect reaches the Seventh Level Final Phase. Wood root tendrils and Wood Arm Attacks reach the Seventh Level Early Stage, with Advanced Demon Wood effect to reach the Seventh Level Mid Stage. Young Master, if your old Demon Tree can comprehend Ran Wood, its attributes will be very powerful,” said Fox Elder.

Upon comprehending the Ran Wood, the Demon Tree Warrior’s abilities would be vastly improved, with defense reaching the Eighth Level and offensive abilities also achieving Eighth Level effects. It would indeed be exceptionally powerful among Level 7 Soul Pets!

“Just use those ferocious creatures lurking in the city as experiments. The Demon Tree Warrior should find it much easier to deal with them,” said Chu Mu, with a smile, excited to see the full capabilities of the Demon Tree Warrior.

The central city administration had already transferred the people in the West Street District to a station during the daytime, and all of them were placed under control, forbidden from revealing any information about West Street, to prevent unnecessary panic in the entire city.

In fact, due to the relocation of many residents, there were already rumors in Li City about the horror in the Central City West Street region. Some bold individuals wanted to try and solve the problem, but the city officials refused.

If the culprits were ordinary Soul Pets, city officials would be eager to let Soul Pet Masters intervene and resolve the problem. However, this time, it wasn’t that simple. Since the mysterious creatures dared to prey on city guards, they would also dare to prey on mediocre Soul Pet Masters.

Rather than sending these people to their deaths blindly, the city officials preferred to keep them out, to avoid causing further chaos and making the situation even more difficult to handle.

As a matter of fact, this decision by the official party was also correct. The ferocious creatures in Li City could enhance their strength by consuming the flesh and internal organ crystals of other strong Soul Pets. It would be good if a strong Soul Pet Master could subdue the creatures, but if their strength was only average, then such Soul Pet Masters and their Soul Pets would be nothing more than nourishment for those ferocious creatures.

Although Chu Mu was young, he had been instilled with a lot of Soul Pet knowledge by Chu Tiancheng since he was a child. His understanding of Soul Pets was much deeper than many so-called senior people. Additionally, with the expertise of Ye Qingzi, a Spirit Master specializing in detail analysis and medicine, the two of them made a professional combination…

As night fell, Chu Mu, Ye Qingzi, and Dongqing began their search on West Street.

The purpose of the trio tonight was not to eliminate these ferocious creatures but to understand what Soul Pets they were and their quantity. In that way, the city guards could use targeted measures.

“Chu Chen, you have an intense hunting and hiding aura when you’re calm. You must be accustomed to surviving on the outside, right?” Dongqing broke the silence in the alley and asked.

“Yeah, I have some level of foresight for danger.” Chu Mu nodded.

The so-called foresight for danger does not imply that Chu Mu possessed any special ability, but rather, it was an instinct formed from having faced countless brushes with death. This was regarded as a kind of death experience, of which Dongqing was naturally aware of.

Dongqing saw many young Soul Pet Masters who had relied on power and influence to obtain superior Soul Pets and surpass their peers. However, he had the utmost admiration for young powerhouses like Chu Mu that honed their skills by facing life and death in the outside world!
