Chapter 805: Chapter 572: Throwing a sprat to catch a mackerel, young pet’s trap
“We are not yet in the heart of the Sky Demon Worm Nest Peak. Any one of them could take down these Sky Demon Worms. And with such an imbalance in enemy forces, it’s not possible for us to reap rewards from their fight.” Chu Tianren rubbed his chin in bafflement.
Chu Mu understood this too well, so he was racking his brains.
A Sky Demon Worm Emperor Young Pet is worth 10,000 Spirits, no small sum. It would be hard to find another 10,000 Spirits next time. After all, Chu Mu and Chu Tianren had been wandering in this Forbidden Domain for almost two months and barely gathered around 5,000 Spirits. If they didn’t seize this 10,000 Spirit opportunity, they would have wasted so much time waiting here for nothing.
“Preemptive strike is the best defence, that’s the only way!” Chu Tianren finally figured out a plan after much contemplation.
Clearly, this solution wasn’t the best one, but it was hard to find any other alternatives under the circumstances.
Chu Mu also couldn’t think of any other way to grab that 10,000 Spirits except launching a preemptive strike, so he had to follow Chu Tianren’s advice.
…
Chu Mu’s Little Mo Xie had a certain speed advantage, while Chu Tianren’s Zhao Bin Demon Emperor, a complete Demon Spirit type low-grade Emperor, wouldn’t find it too challenging to infiltrate a nest that corresponds to a Level 1 Tribe.
Since they were launching a preemptive strike, time was of the essence. Once they had the precise location of the Sky Demon Worm Young Pet, Chu Tianren led Chu Mu and swept across swiftly. They bypassed in another direction and snuck in under the peak that the three cautious guys had pointed out.
The sight of a Sky Demon Worm Nest Peak was startling. Standing at the foot of the peak, one had to lift one’s head to see the top of the peak
An entire mountain peak, pitch-black in color, was littered with numerous holes. Each hole served as a small nest housing a “family” of Sky Demon Worms. The peak might reach as high as seven thousand meters, the number of Sky Demon Worm households residing within it being incalculable.
And within a radius of ten kilometers, there were hundreds of such peaks. Their heights were probably around four thousand meters, likely comprising the members of this entire small tribe’s Sky Demon Worm Army.
Unquestionably, the top leader of this Level 1 Sky Demon Worm Tribe, affiliated with a Third-level Tribe, must be living at the top of that seven thousand meter peak. When Chu Mu used his Soul Sense to observe, he could see two Eight-Winged Sky Demon Worms circling the top of the peak, like loyal guards.
“We don’t have much time, they will probably arrive in about two hours.” Chu Tianren looked up and told Chu Mu.
“Two hours? Aren’t they being too cautious?” Chu Mu wondered.
The other side has three people, all more formidable than Chu Mu and Chu Tianren. With their strength, it would be quite easy to handle this nest only housing a quasi-Emperor. So why are they moving so slowly?
“That’s how Lu Zideng operates, he wants everything to be flawless.” Chu Tianren didn’t seem too concerned.
Chu Mu still felt something off. For a powerful Soul Emperor, even if they are being cautious, there is no need to be this cautious. That would just give others a chance to overtake them.
Just as Chu Mu was about to suggest Chu Tianren reconsider, given the opponents’ unusual slow pace, it appeared as if they were deliberately making way for them. Chu Tianren, obviously anxious, guided his low-grade Emperor-level soul pet and went straight up that seven thousand meter peak!
“Third Uncle, aren’t we being too reckless?” Chu Mu, meanwhile, didn’t rush up but simply said to Chu Tianren.
“Having come this far, we can’t consider too much. Let’s do it this way. I’ll go up, you stay down to provide support.” Chu Tianren obviously knew what Chu Mu was worried about, but foundationally he trusted his own judgement more.
Opportunity knocks but once. And once missed, it would be hard to regain. It’s not that Chu Tianren hadn’t considered Chu Mu’s concerns, but even if there was a 50% chance it was a bluff, he still wanted to check it out himself. After all, there was still 50% chance there were young pets!
Chu Tianren could indeed handle the Sky Demon Worms on the peak all by himself. Chu Mu has a fairly sharp intuition, and so chose to stay at the foot of the mountain and observe quietly.
Chu Tianren’s low-grade Emperor had impressive hiding abilities. He flew towards the hive up to a height of nearly four thousand meters before the sluggish Sky Demon Worms finally noticed the intruder.
To resolve this as quickly as possible, Chu Tianren called out all of his main pets and headed directly up the peak from the four thousand meters position.
The Sky Demon Worms are highly cohesive soul pets. The moment an alien invasion was detected, hundreds of nests nearby immediately resounded with a series of ear-piercing buzzes!
Chu Mu, hiding at the foot of the mountain, glanced around; countless black points were rising from the hundreds of peaks, appearing from afar like each peak was crumbling into black powders floating upwards!
Gatherings of Sky Demon Worm troops rose quickly, and in just a few minutes, countless Sky Demon Worms had occupied the empty sky, transforming it into a howling black cloud rushing towards the location of the seven thousand meters peak!
The number of armies in a Level 1 Tribe is about one hundred thousand!
The double reproduction of Insect-type Soul Pets mean that in these vast nest peaks, there would be a total of two hundred thousand Sky Demon Worms. This is the largest army of Sky Demon Worms Chu Mu has seen in all his years of experience. The awe-inspiring sight of swarming, darkened sky fills Chu Mu’s heart with tumultuous waves!
At the seven thousand meters high nest peak, Chu Tianren was quickly completely surrounded by the massive Sky Demon Worm army. Chu Tianren’s Soul Pets are very powerful, but when faced with two hundred thousand troops ganging up, layer upon layer attacking him, even Chu Tianren couldn’t possibly kill his way to the top easily.
“Rumble Rumble Rumble Rumble~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~”
The mountain peaks and the ground are violently trembling. With every release of a skill, you can see hundreds, even thousands of corpses falling like rain from the Sky Demon Worms. Fresh blood splashed everywhere!
The buzzing sound of the Sky Demon Worms almost drowned out everything else. Chu Mu could no longer see the figures of Tianren and his Soul Pets now. He could only watch from afar as the Sky Demon Worm army, like a dark cloud, enveloped layer after layer. Even the light from the skills was blocked by the bodies of these Sky Demon Worms and he couldn’t see clearly anymore.
…
As time passed minute by minute, Chu Mu, who was gazing at the sky above seven thousand meters, felt that the number of Sky Demon Worms did not seem to decrease, despite the corpses falling like heavy rain.
At this point, the center of the Sky Demon Worm army’s siege gradually moved to the top of the peak. It is clear that Chu Tianren has reached the top and it would not be long before the existence of a Sky Demon Worm Emperor young pet could be confirmed.
“Haha, this guy is still short-tempered. He really rushed up after a few promptings.”
Suddenly, a voice floated from a thousand meters away from Chu Mu’s hiding place.
After reaching the Soul Emperor level, using Soul Sense to communicate does not waste much Soul Power. However, communication through sound, unless deliberately restrained, can be heard by another Soul Emperor-level individual from a thousand meters away.
Chu Mu has been carefully releasing his Soul Sense for fear that this is a trap. The instant he heard this voice, Chu Mu got his confirmation!!
This really is a trap!! This is a diversion intentionally caused by Lu Zideng!!
“World Lord Lu, you really are clever. How did you know we were being followed by that Chu Tianren savage?” Fang Li also opened his repulsive grin and asked.
“Before coming, I had sent people to inquire about all those who knew about this place. An old friend from my Wogu Domain told me that Chu Tianren was also inquiring about the Ten Thousand Broken Sting Valley and may come here…” Lu Zideng smiled slightly, his face cunning.
“No wonder World Lord Lu has been hesitating to enter, instead just circling around.” Zheng Kuang said.
“In fact, I did not detect him following us. This guy’s Demon Spirit hiding ability is very strong, I couldn’t detect him if he maintained a distance. But a little solicitation and I can directly determine if he is around. Therefore, I made you deliberately talk for him to hear. Otherwise, how could he possibly appear? Even less likely to be boasting like now, happily killing those Sky Demon Worms, haha, I really want to see his frustrating look when he reaches the top and finds the nest is empty!” Lu Zideng said laughing.
“World Lord Lu is really brilliant. With you here, we will have no problem getting that Level 3 Moonlight Magic Stone!” Zheng Kuang’s smile widened!
The Moonlight Magic Stone is a Spirit Item that enhances all attributes. Moreover, it is capable of strengthening a quasi-Emperor to a Low-grade Emperor – a Level 3 Spirit Item. The value of a single crown Moonlight Magic Stone is immeasurable. If it happens to be a double crown Moonlight Magic Stone, then the three of them would be really wealthy!
1 Level 3 Spirit Item costs 50,000 Spirit! And a double crown Moonlight Magic Stone is five times that, which is 250,000 Spirit!
Of course, the probability of a double crown is very, very low. Zheng Kuang is only fantasizing. In a Third-level Tribe territory like this, it is almost impossible to get a double crown Level 3 Emperor Moonlight Magic Stone.
Noticing Zheng Kuang let slip, Lu Zideng immediately frowned and said, “Haven’t I told you many times? Use Soul Sense to converse about anything related to it!”
Zheng Kuang also hurriedly nodded, appearing very respectful. But in his heart, he was muttering: that idiot Chu Tianren has been deceived to the seven thousand meters nest peak, and it’s impossible for anyone else to be around. Is there a need to be so cautious? Speaking with Soul Sense is very exhausting.
“Fang Li, the task I gave you, have you done it?” Lu Zideng asked.
“Don’t worry, over the next few days, Chu Tianren will just patiently play hide and seek with the Sky Demon Worms…” Fang Li responded with a cunning smile.
“Very good, it would be even more interesting if he loses one or two of his main pets by accident.” Lu Zideng said.
