Chapter 435: Chapter 311: The Gap Between Five People and One Person

“After reaching the Monarch Level, the gap in strength becomes very large, and the advantage of attributes becomes very apparent, just like Young Master’s current battle against the Demon Tree Warrior. The Demon Tree Warrior is a Wood Type Soul Pet, which has a direct advantage against the Insect Species that come in large groups, making the battle much faster than when the Ice-Feathered Spirit fought the Guaiyan Guardian!” Fox Elder said.

Chu Mu’s soul pets haven’t been in the Monarch level domain for very long. In the past, Chu Mu felt that during the Servant Level, War General Level, and Commander Level stages, as long as soul pets didn’t differ by one level, their combat power wouldn’t be very obvious. At times, even a strong skill could decide the outcome of a battle.

Now, the Demon Tree Warrior has merely advanced from a Quasi-monarch to a Low-grade Monarch, and its group killing ability has increased several times instantly.

Chu Mu had initially planned to replace the Ghost Dome King halfway with Mo Ye and let Mo Ye clear the obstacles on the narrow path. However, it seemed that there was no need for Mo Ye to appear on this narrow path. With the Seventh Rank Seventh Stage Demon Tree Warrior controlling the Blood Tree and cooperating with Zhan Ye and the Ghost Dome King, they could quickly sweep through the opposition!

Although the Demon Tree Warrior’s strength has increased from a Quasi-monarch battle power level to a Low-grade Monarch level, it doesn’t mean that its power has increased four or five times.

In relation to the Demon Tree Warrior’s offensive power, these Eighth Stage Blade Stings could barely defend themselves and occasionally resist some of the Demon Tree Warrior’s attacks. However, once the Demon Tree Warrior’s Wood Element Crystals advanced to the level of Ran Wood, the defense of these Eighth Stage Blade Stings seemed insignificant. This made the Demon Tree Warrior’s group killing speed very fast. After all, these Eighth Stage Blade Stings pose no threat to the Demon Tree Warrior anymore and have become even weaker.

Back at Sky Crystal Peak, Chu Mu faced more than 160 Guaiyan Guardians at once. After more than half a year, Chu Mu relied on the Demon Tree Warrior, Zhan Ye, and the Ghost Dome King to clear all 200 Eighth Stage Blade Stings, which were comparable to the Guaiyan Guardians in strength, in less than a fifth of the time it took before. The improvement in strength has become very obvious!

After killing all the Blade Stings, Chu Mu immediately led his three soul pets to bravely enter the Sword Sting Narrow Path.

Actually, the number of Sword Stings residing in the Sword Sting Narrow Path wasn’t very large. After all, Sword Stings are Commander level soul pets, so their numbers couldn’t be as abundant as War General level soul pets.

Inside the Sword Sting Canyon, the Eighth Stage Blade Stings are still the majority. Unfortunately, these Eighth Stage Blade Stings have become ants in front of the Demon Tree Warrior, and a large area is easily cleared again. Even if these insects came in like a tidal wave, they still couldn’t stop the progress of Chu Mu’s soul pets.

Soon, Chu Mu found the largest Sword Sting in the narrow path full of fierce insects.

Chu Mu had seen Sword Stings before, one of which was Ye Wansheng’s beloved pet. In comparison, the strength of the Sword Sting in front of Chu Mu now was clearly stronger than the Seventh Rank 5th Stage Sword Sting of Ye Wansheng.

“Zhan Ye, Sky-Splitting Claw!”

“Roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Zhan Ye’s Claw Blades were sharper than the Sword Stings’ wall swords. His ink-black claws, powered by the sixth level full attack effect of the Soul Armor, easily tore off the arms of a several Seventh Rank Sword Stings nearby.

Zhan Ye, who was growing stronger as he fought, had already reached the Seventh Rank Second Stage. His Combat Power Level was at a quasi-monarch level. However, his tenacious vitality and the ability to grow stronger when defeated allowed him to stand against low-grade Monarch-level Soul Pets!

Even a Seventh Rank low-grade Monarch-level Soul Pet could definitely stand a chance of victory against an Eighth Rank junior-level Commander. In order to train Zhan Ye’s will and stimulate his potential more thoroughly, Chu Mu had Zhan Ye fight against an Eighth Rank advanced-level Commander Sword Sting. He wanted Zhan Ye to break his own limits in the face of Soul Pets stronger than him, reaching higher levels.

The Demon Tree Warrior was still responsible for most of the slaughter, while the Ghost Dome King stood beside the Demon Tree Warrior. Whenever too many Soul Pets got close, the Ghost Dome King would lift his powerful curved sword and fiercely slash at the heads of the Blade Stings and Sword Stings.

Broken Blade Sting shells, severed limbs, organs full of liquid, cracked skulls, pierced bodies… As the battle continued, a strong smell of blood permeated the entire narrow passage, mixed with the disgusting scent of Insect Species Soul Pet’s bodily fluids…

The whole gorge was gradually covered with the corpses of Blade Stings and Sword Stings. The average-strength Eighth Rank War General-level and Seventh Rank Commander-level Blade Stings and Sword Stings were unable to stop Chu Mu’s Soul Pets’ bloody advances. There was only a short distance left of the two-kilometer journey.

“Roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

After four instances of Limb Regeneration, Zhan Ye’s rank had astonishingly reached the Seventh Rank 5th Stage!

Zhan Ye had been fighting against the Eighth Rank advanced-level Sword Sting for quite a while. Each time Zhan Ye finished Limb Regeneration, his physical strength and vitality would immediately recover, and his combat power would be fully replenished. Even though he had been heavily attacked by the Eighth Rank advanced-stage Sword Sting at first, after four consecutive rounds of consumption like this, he gradually gained some advantages in the battle of attrition.

The long Ink Armor Thorn stretched out, and the Eighth Rank advanced-level Sword Sting could no longer withstand the increasingly fierce attacks of Zhan Ye. The thick insect shell was brutally penetrated by Zhan Ye’s poisonous Ink Armor Thorn!

The corrosive effect of darkness quickly entered the Sword Sting’s body, forcibly corroding its shell and instantly reducing it’s defense.

With a lowered defense, Zhan Ye’s attack became more threatening. His fully charged, with force, launched a frenzied close-quarters assault, forcing the Eighth Rank advanced-stage Sword Sting to retreat again and again.

Zhan Ye’s fighting style had some similarities with Mo Ye’s. After all, their main attribute was the Beast type. However, Chu Mu’s two great generals had completely different fighting styles. Mo Ye emphasized speed, sharpness, and strangeness. Its battles always carried a certain level of demon spirit’s spirituality, while still maintaining the dominance and arrogance of Beast-type Soul Pets.

On the other hand, Zhan Ye’s fighting style was purely about blood and guts. With a fearless back-and-forth, Zhan Ye often didn’t even see the need to dodge, directly taking on the enemy’s attacks and hitting back hard. Though this type of fighting didn’t have much flair, it was full of wild and bloody power — a contest of burning battle flames and determination.

The Eighth Rank Sword Sting couldn’t withstand Zhan Ye’s terrifying wildness in the later stages of the battle, eventually succumbing as its defense was down. In the end, Zhan Ye seized a fatal opportunity, and its heavy tail slammed viciously into its opponent’s skull, causing it to shatter and kill instantly!

As the leader of the Narrow Path, once killed, the other Sword Stings and Blade Stings lost their fighting spirit and quickly scrambled over their fallen comrades’ corpses to flee, either burrowing underground, squeezing into the crevices, or climbing up the slopes. It didn’t take long for the Narrow Path to become somewhat peaceful…

“Well done, take a break, and then we’ll continue to slaughter our way to the lake in the valley.” After the battle was over, Chu Mu immediately distributed the expensive Soul Crystals he had purchased to the three Soul Pets to help them replenish their strength.”

The energy contained in the Soul Crystals was much greater than that of Soul Cores. Chu Mu had specifically bought a large number of level six Soul Crystals, and fed them to his Soul Pets after battles to help them recover their stamina.

Of course, if Ye Qingzi were around, Chu Mu could save this expense. Ye Qingzi’s recovery elixirs all had level seven effects and could quickly restore a Soul Pet’s endurance and power.

The Demon Tree Warrior regenerated life force rapidly, consuming a lot of stamina. After all, its skills hadn’t stopped during the whole killing process, and at least three to four hundred Insect-type Soul Pets had died by its hands.

Now, the Demon Tree Warrior’s stamina was probably only around twenty percent. Once this stamina was used up, its combat power would likely drop significantly.

Zhan Ye’s stamina was the highest among Chu Mu’s Soul Pets. Even so, it now only had around twenty percent of its stamina left. It seemed that in the upcoming battles, Zhan Ye’s only role would be to wear down those Ninth Stage Soul Pets.

The Ghost Dome King’s consumption wasn’t too significant, but it would struggle to play a role in the subsequent battles. In order to help the Ghost Dome King recover its injuries and stamina faster, Chu Mu recalled it back into the Soul Pet Space.

After swallowing the Soul Crystal and resting for a moment, the Demon Tree Warrior’s stamina had recovered to around thirty percent.

Zhan Ye recovered quickly too. After eating the Soul Crystal, its stamina went from twenty percent to fifty percent. At this point, the advantage of its recovery ability became apparent, saving Chu Mu’s combat power to the greatest extent.

“Mo Ye, get ready for battle.” Chu Mu chanted the spell and summoned Mo Ye to his side.

Mo Ye, in Chu Lian’s state, lazily jumped onto Chu Mu’s shoulder, appearing to wait until it saw its enemy before taking action.

As they walked out of the Narrow Path and entered the valley, Chu Mu specifically glanced at the other Narrow Path.

That Narrow Path was the one that the team of five had chosen earlier – the longer one. Judging by the current situation, it was clear that those people hadn’t made it through the Narrow Path yet.

The increase in the Demon Tree Warrior’s strength allowed Chu Mu to get through the obstacle ahead of time. It seemed that there was still a good chance of capturing the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Birds this time.

At the end of the Pupa Tribe Narrow Path, a team of five, led by team leader Dakun, formed a circle. All fifteen Soul Pets were summoned to battle. Support-type Soul Pets were carefully guarded behind defensive-type Soul Pets, while offensive-type Soul Pets fought fiercely, trying to break through the enemy lines like a mountain of iron.

However, there were still around two hundred Pupa Tribe members left, including their strongest leader, who hadn’t been dealt with yet. It seemed that the team would need more time to break free from the siege.

“Leader, look at the valley!!!” Suddenly, female Soul Pet Trainer Yu Sui wore an astonished expression!

Thinking that there might be a powerful creature nearby, Dakun quickly jumped to a higher vantage point. His gaze skipped over the Pupa Tribe and looked towards a youth that he had seen not too long ago in the valley about a hundred meters away!!

“How is that possible… how did he do it?!” (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Boxnovel (boxnovel.com) and cast your recommendation votes and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
