Chapter 545: Chapter 417: New Favorite, Wind-binding Spirit (Part Two)

Chu Mu had spent a full three months on this adventure, and as soon as he returned to his room, he eagerly began to sign the soul contract with the Wind-binding Spirit.

Since the Wind-binding Spirit had already voluntarily agreed to sign a soul contract with Chu Mu, Chu Mu didn’t need to expend too much effort. He just needed to recite a spell, and the soul contract would be directly completed.

A blue contract halo entwined above the Wind-binding Spirit’s head, gradually shrinking under Chu Mu’s control, slowly fusing with the Wind-binding Spirit’s forehead, and branding itself into the soul of the Wind-binding Spirit.

After the soul contract mark was branded, the faint connection between Chu Mu and the Wind-binding Spirit immediately became more intense. With just a thought, Chu Mu could now feel what the Wind-binding Spirit had in mind.

This was Chu Mu’s first time signing a soul contract with a mature soul pet, so he deliberately compared the two types of soul contracts to feel the difference.

One obvious point was that because the Wind-binding Spirit had reached mental maturity before signing the soul contract with Chu Mu, the telepathic bond between them was not as close as that between other soul pets, and even after signing the soul contract with Chu Mu, the Wind-binding Spirit’s sense of self still existed. This might make controlling the Wind-binding Spirit more difficult for Chu Mu.

For example, if Chu Mu wanted the Wind-binding Spirit to use a certain skill, the Wind-binding Spirit might follow an old combat habit and use another skill instead. This lack of tacit understanding could be gradually improved through later training, so it wasn’t considered a big issue.

Moreover, Chu Mu wasn’t very familiar with the Wind-binding Spirit’s skills yet. In the beginning, he thought it might be better to let the Wind-binding Spirit fight autonomously.

At the Ninth Rank Third Stage – Intermediate Monarch, the Wind-binding Spirit would probably only need one second of chanting time to create a Level 9 wind-type skill.

“Zzzz~~~~~~~”

After the Wind-binding Spirit’s soul connected with Chu Mu’s, it gradually began to feel a sense of closeness. Although this closeness might be weaker due to the maturity of the Wind-binding Spirit, the Wind-binding Spirit would now definitely not resist any orders from Chu Mu.

…

There were only two months left until The World Decree, and Chu Mu didn’t plan to slack off in improving his own strength during this time.

Previously, Ye Qingzi told Chu Mu that she could refine a Heart of the Wood for the Demon Tree Warrior, which would prevent the Demon Tree Warrior from getting poisoned while absorbing the poison liquid.

The Demon Tree Warrior’s group attack was strong and its skill frequency was fast, but its attack power was still somewhat weak. If it could have a poison effect, the Demon Tree Warrior’s threat would become even greater.

A large amount of poison was needed, so Chu Mu planned to go to the Ancient Wasteland Sand Region again to collect the poison liquid of one thousand Desert Mad Edge Scorpions.

After returning to the Soul Hall, Chu Mu took a few days to recuperate, then sold all the items he had obtained. As he had predicted earlier, the total came to exactly 900 million.

Chu Mu could entrust Jia Jing with buying some of the more straightforward spirit items, and for the spirit items that Ye Qingzi could prepare, Chu Mu only needed to ask Jia Jing to buy the raw materials. This way, Chu Mu might not even need to spend 850 million to buy all the items he needed.

As for the extra money, Chu Mu would definitely use it to buy soul armor to increase the strength of his soul pets without leaving any stones unturned.

…

“Chu Chen, didn’t you just return to the Soul Hall a few days ago? Why do you look like you’re preparing for another long journey?” Ting Lan finally had a chance to visit Chu Mu, only to find him ready to leave again.

“Yeah, there isn’t much time left. I want to take advantage of this final stretch to improve the strength of all my soul pets as much as possible,” Chu Mu said.

This time, going to the sand region, besides collecting poison liquid for Demon Tree Warrior, Chu Mu’s main purpose was also to showcase his new soul pet, Wind-binding Spirit, and to develop more tacit understanding with it through battles.

“Where are you going this time?” Ting Lan asked.

“Sand Region, to collect the poison liquid of Desert Mad Edge Scorpions,” Chu Mu answered.

“Are you familiar with that place? I don’t go out for adventures often. I always feel that my control over soul pets in real combat is still lacking. I also want to spend the last two months honing my skills. Can I team up with you?” Ting Lan asked, batting her eyes.

“Do you have a winged soul pet? My training time won’t be too long this time,” Chu Mu replied.

“Yes, it doesn’t matter if the time is short or long, consider it as a warm-up before the competition,” Ting Lan nodded with a smile.

“Let’s go then.” There was quite a distance to the Sand Region, and if Ting Lan had a winged soul pet, it would indeed save Chu Mu a lot of time.

…

…

Ting Lan’s winged soul pet was relatively fast, so to save time, Chu Mu alternated between using her winged soul pet and his own Night Thunder Dream Beast during the day and night, in order to reach the Front Sand Area as quickly as possible.

Chu Mu had spent nearly two months in the Sand Region, so he knew where the Desert Mad Edge Scorpions were most likely to appear. Without hesitation, he went straight there this time.

“You…are you going to the Rear Desert Area?” Ting Lan gradually felt that something was wrong and asked Chu Mu in a low voice.

“Yes, there’s a sand dune in the Rear Desert Area. When I first ventured there, there were countless Desert Mad Edge Scorpions. This time, I’ll try to see if I can wipe them all out,” Chu Mu said.

Ting Lan originally thought Chu Mu was just wandering around the ordinary Eighth-level Mysterious Realm. Little did she know that he was heading straight for the most dangerous Rear Desert Area. And from what he said, he had been in the Rear Desert Area before.

“He’s really a fanatical training freak…” Ting Lan muttered.

“What did you say?” Chu Mu didn’t hear Ting Lan clearly and thought she was afraid to go to the Rear Desert Area, so he asked.

“Nothing, we should just be cautious…” Ting Lan shook her head.

…

Chu Mu was quite familiar with the area of the Rear Desert Area. During the night, he rode the Night Thunder Dream Beast with Ting Lan and easily passed through the territory of the Western Armored Death Scorpions, landing in the Desert Mad Edge Scorpion area.

“Why is it so empty here? There isn’t a single Desert Mad Edge Scorpion?” Ting Lan raised her delicate eyebrows, looking around.

“Just sit and wait.” Chu Mu was very carefree, sitting cross-legged and waiting quietly.

Ting Lan looked at Chu Mu doubtfully and saw that he was resting with his eyes closed, so she didn’t ask any more questions. She stood quietly beside Chu Mu, her gaze fixed on the far end of the desert…

Suddenly, a blood-like crimson appeared on the horizon.

It was the brilliance of the sunrise, glowing red, giving the impression of a cluster of fiery flames burning at the edge of the nightfall…

Usually, there would be a faint dawn light followed by a gorgeous sunrise. However, the unique scenery here showed Ting Lan a red desert like blood!

“The sunrise here is so unique.” Ting Lan immediately nudged Chu Mu, asking him to open his eyes and see.

Chu Mu didn’t open his eyes, but just said indifferently: “That area is the territory of the Poisonous Red Desert Serpent Demon, which is also a red desert. The sunrise can produce this effect due to the light changes caused by the red sand.”

Ting Lan, who hadn’t traveled much, seemed to be seeing this kind of wonder for the first time. Her beautiful eyes expressed a longing for the scene, and she murmured, “Will this be the most beautiful sunrise in the world?”

“It’s just alright. There are many places where the sunrise is much more beautiful and spectacular than this.” Chu Mu slowly opened his eyes, and his black pupils were dyed red by the sunrise.

Ting Lan turned her head to look at Chu Mu and thought that he looked like he often watched sunrises. She was about to ask a question, but then thought that this man spent almost all his time training outside, so he must be able to see the sunrise in various regions every day…

“Get ready, we’re going to fight.” Chu Mu stood up from the sandy ground and looked at Ting Lan, who was still fascinated by the gorgeous sunrise.

“Get ready?” Ting Lan’s gaze returned and she swept a glance at the surrounding sandy ground. Only then did she notice that the still sand dunes appeared to be wriggling when the red light shone on them!

The range of the sandy ground was very broad, extending as far as the eye could see. The wriggling sandy ground was also quite extensive, making Ting Lan feel as if it were the waves on the sea level.

As the full glow of dawn fell, the entire sandy ground suddenly boiled, and the shrill noise of scorpions echoed throughout the area. A huge insect-type aura filled the sandy ground, giving the atmosphere a thick sense of gloom and poison, which even made it difficult to breathe.

Desert Mad Edge Scorpions didn’t like darkness, but as soon as the sky brightened, they started swarming out in large groups!

Ting Lan had guessed the possibility, but she didn’t expect so many Desert Mad Edge Scorpions to appear. The huge number of them made the entire sandy ground seem as if it was boiling, densely packed, and making it hard to find any gaps…

“There are…so many…” Ting Lan’s face gradually paled as she saw hundreds, even thousands of Eighth Stage Desert Mad Edge Scorpions. How long will it take to kill all these?!

Chu Mu didn’t say much and immediately started chanting a spell, activating his Eleventh Soul Contract and summoning the Wind-binding Spirit in front of him.

” Qin~~~~~~~~~~”

An invisible wind force swirled around Chu Mu and slowly formed a wind array. All the Eighth Stage Desert Mad Edge Scorpions within thirty meters around Chu Mu were swept up and thrown violently into the distance.

In the center of the wind array, the Wind-binding Spirit, enveloped in a mysterious shimmering fierce wind, slowly appeared and its Ninth Rank Monarch Wind Element aura swept across!!

“A Ninth Rank Wind-binding Spirit…” Ting Lan was about to summon her own Soul Pet when she saw Chu Mu’s Ninth Rank Third Stage Wind-binding Spirit and her face instantly showed surprise!

Ting Lan had always thought that Chu Mu obtained the Juvenile Wind-binding Spirit and would gradually increase its rank later. She never would have thought that this man actually possessed a Ninth Rank Wind-binding Spirit!!

” Qin~~~~~~~~~”

The Wind-binding Spirit Monarch exuded a menacing aura, and as it chanted a spell, it needed only 1 second to brew a Ninth Level wind-type skill!

The Ninth Level wind-type skill was powerful enough to instantly kill a large swarm of Desert Mad Edge Scorpions. When the Wind-binding Spirit unleashed theskill in anger, dozens of densely packed Desert Mad Edge Scorpions were swept up in the Ninth Level Hurricane and easily torn to shreds!!

The Ninth Level Hurricane even covered an area of several hundred meters, and as the skill swept through, hundreds of Desert Mad Edge Scorpions were thrown into the air. It immediately created a large empty space on the densely packed Soul Pet group’s ground! Its horrifying power even made Chu Mu couldn’t help but marvel! (To Be Continued.
