Chapter 436: Chapter 311: Breaking into the Narrow Path Alone

“After reaching the Monarch level, the gap in strength becomes much larger, and the advantages of different attributes become more evident. For instance, during Young Master’s current battle with the Demon Tree Warrior. The Demon Tree Warrior, a Wood Element Soul Pet, has a clear advantage when dealing with a large group of Insect-typed Soul Pets like this. The fight is much faster compared to the Ice-Feathered Spirit dealing with the Guaiyan Guardians earlier!” said Fox Elder.

Chu Mu’s Soul Pets hadn’t been in the Monarch-level domain for very long. In the past, Chu Mu felt that during the Servant, War General, and Commander levels, the difference in combat power would not be very noticeable as long as their levels were not too far apart. Often, even a single powerful skill could determine the outcome of a battle.

But now, the Demon Tree Warrior had only just advanced from a quasi-monarch to a low-grade monarch, and its ability to eliminate groups of enemies had increased by several times in an instant.

Chu Mu had initially planned to switch the Ghost Dome King with Mo Ye halfway through to clear the obstacles on this narrow path. However, it seemed there was no need for Mo Ye to appear at all on this narrow path. With the Seventh Rank Seventh Stage Demon Tree Warrior, who had gained control over the Blood Tree, alongside Zhan Ye and Ghost Dome King, they were more than capable of quickly sweeping through!

The Demon Tree Warrior’s advancement in combat power from a quasi-monarch to a low-grade monarch did not necessarily mean that its strength had increased by four to five times.

These Eighth Stage Blade Stings had some defense against the Demon Tree Warrior’s attacks, and occasionally, they could even resist them. However, once the Demon Tree Warrior’s Wood Element Crystals advanced to the Ran Wood level, the defense of these Eighth Stage Blade Stings would become insignificant. As a result, the Demon Tree Warrior’s speed of wiping out groups increased dramatically since the Blade Stings could no longer pose any threat to it and had become even weaker.

When Chu Mu had faced over 160 Guaiyan Guardians at Sky Crystal Peak more than half a year ago, he now relied on the Demon Tree Warrior, Zhan Ye, and Ghost Dome King to clear all 200 Eighth Stage Blade Stings in less than a fifth of the time it had taken before. The improvement in his strength had become quite apparent!

After killing all the Blade Stings, Chu Mu immediately led his three soul pets bravely into Sword Sting Canyon.

There weren’t actually many Sword Stings inhabiting the canyon, as they were all Commander-level soul pets, and their numbers weren’t as plentiful as War General-level creatures.

Blade Stings at the Eighth Stage still made up the majority of inhabitants in the Sword Sting Canyon, but these creatures were like ants in front of the Demon Tree Warrior. They were easily swept away, and even the tide of insects coming their way could not stop the advance of Chu Mu’s soul pets.

Soon, Chu Mu discovered the largest Sword Sting in the narrow path filled with ferocious insects.

Chu Mu had seen the Sword Sting before, as it was one of Ye Wansheng’s beloved pets. In comparison, the Sword Sting in front of Chu Mu was clearly more powerful than the Seventh Rank 5th Stage Sword Sting owned by Ye Wansheng.

“Zhan Ye, Sky-Splitting Claw!”

“Roar!!!!!!!!”

Zhan Ye’s Claw Blade was sharper than the Sword Sting’s wall sword, and under the effect of the Sixth Level full attack Soul Armor, the ink-colored claws directly tore off the arms of several Seventh Rank Sword Stings beside it.

Zhan Ye, who became more and more courageous in battle, had advanced to the Seventh Rank Second Stage. Its Combat Power Level belonged to the quasi-monarch level, but its tenacious vitality and the skill of becoming more courageous made it able to contend with low-grade monarch-level Soul Pets!

Even a low-grade monarch-level Soul Pet at the Seventh Rank had a definite chance of victory when facing an Eighth Rank low-stage commander. In order to thoroughly temper Zhan Ye’s will and stimulate its potential, Chu Mu made Zhan Ye confront the Eighth Rank high-stage commander-level Sword Sting, allowing Zhan Ye to break through its limits in a battle with stronger Soul Pets and reach higher levels.

The Demon Tree Warrior was still responsible for the majority of the killings. The Ghost Dome King stood beside the Demon Tree Warrior, and whenever too many Soul Pets got close, the Ghost Dome King would lift his powerful curved sword and fiercely split the heads of the Blade Stings and Sword Stings.

Blade Sting’s shells, broken arms, innards filled with liquid, cracked skulls, and pierced bodies… with the continuation of the battle, the entire narrow path was filled with a thick smell of blood. This smell also contained a disgusting scent of liquid from insect-type Soul Pets…

Sword Sting corpses spread across the entire canyon, the average strength of the Sword Stings and Blade Stings at Eighth Rank War General Level and Seventh Rank Commander Level, were utterly unable to deny Chu Mu’s bloody Soul Pet advance. Just a small part of the two kilometers distance remained.

“Roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

After four limb regenerations, Zhan Ye reached Seventh Rank Fifth Stage!

Zhan Ye had fought the Eighth Rank high-stage Sword Sting for a long time. Every time Zhan Ye completed a round of limb regeneration, it would immediately restore its vitality and stamina, reaching its full combat power. Even though it had been heavily hit by the Eighth Rank high-stage Sword Sting from the beginning, the continuous consumption of four rounds gradually gave it an advantage from a battle of attrition.

The long Ink Armor Thorn was cast out, and the Eighth Rank high-stage Sword Sting could no longer defend against Zhan Ye’s increasingly fierce attacks. The thick insect-type armor was pierced by Zhan Ye’s poisonous Ink Armor Thorn!

The dark corrosive effect quickly injected into the Sword Sting’s body, forcibly corroding its armor, and instantly reducing its defense.

With its defense lowered, Zhan Ye’s attack became even more threatening. Its fully charged combat power launched a frenzied hand-to-hand kill, forcing the Eighth Rank high-stage Sword Sting to retreat continuously.

Zhan Ye’s fighting style is somewhat similar to Mo Ye’s, after all, their main attribute is both Beast type. However, Chu Mu’s two-element generals have completely different fighting styles. Mo Ye emphasizes speed, sharpness, and bizarre, its fights always carry some Spirit-like ethereal quality while still retaining the Beast Soul Pet’s dominance and arrogance.

As for Zhan Ye’s fighting style, it is purely a bloodthirsty, chaotic back-and-forth. Zhan Ye often feels that dodging is unnecessary, directly bearing the enemy’s attacks and landing a heavy blow in return. This type of fighting has little flair, but it is full of wild power and raw brutality, a contest between the raging flames of battle and sheer willpower.

The high-rank Eight Stage Sword Sting clearly struggled to withstand Zhan Ye’s terrifying late-stage wildness. With its dwindling physical defense, it gradually weakened until finally, Zhan Ye seized a fatal opportunity, and its skull was brutally hit with Zhan Ye’s heavy tail, causing its head armor to burst, dying on the spot!

As the leader of the Narrow Path, killing the Sword Sting leader broke the fighting will of the remaining Sword Stings and Blade Stings. They trampled over their comrades’ corpses and fled in terror, burrowing into the ground, squeezing into cracks, or climbing up slopes. In no time, the entire narrow path became desolate…

“Good job, rest for a while, then we’ll continue to kill our way to the valley’s inner lake.” After the battle, Chu Mu immediately gave three Soul Pets the Soul Crystals he bought at a high price to help them recover their strength.

The energy contained in Soul Crystals is much greater than Soul Cores. Chu Mu deliberately purchased many Level 6 Soul Crystals, giving them to his Soul Pets after battles to replenish their stamina.

Of course, if Ye Qingzi were here, Chu Mu could save this expense. The recovery elixirs she concocted had a Level 7 effect, capable of restoring the stamina and combat power of Soul Pets in a short time.

Demon Tree Warrior’s vitality is in a vigorous state, its stamina consumption is huge since its skills have never stopped during the entire killing process. By now, it has killed at least three to four hundred Insect Species soul pets.

Now the Demon Tree Warrior’s stamina is probably only around 20%, and after this 20% is consumed, its combat power is expected to decay significantly.

Zhan Ye has the highest endurance among Chu Mu’s Soul Pets, but now it’s probably only left with about 20% stamina. It’s likely that Zhan Ye will only be able to play the role of depleting those Ninth Stage Soul Pets in the upcoming battles.

The Ghost Dome King’s consumption is not too significant, but it will be challenging to play a role in the subsequent battle. In order to make the Ghost Dome King recover faster from its injuries and stamina, Chu Mu directly recalled it back to the Soul Pet space.

After swallowing the Soul Crystal, resting for a while, the Demon Tree Warrior’s stamina reached about 10% – 30%.

Zhan Ye recovers quickly, and after eating the Soul Crystal, its stamina is replenished from the 20% level to the 50% level. Its advantage in recovery ability is clearly illustrated at this point, which saves Chu Mu the most combat power.

“Mo Ye, get ready for battle,” Chu Mu uttered 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 the enemy appears before making a move.

After walking out of the narrow path and entering the valley, Chu Mu specifically looked at the narrow path in the other direction.

That path was the longer path chosen by the team of five people a short while ago. Judging by the current situation, those people have not yet made it through the narrow path.

The increase in strength of the Demon Tree Warrior allowed Chu Mu to make it through this obstacle much sooner than expected, and it seems that the probability of capturing the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird is quite high.

At the end of the Pupa Tribe Narrow Road, Team Leader Dakun’s team of five had formed a circle, with all fifteen Soul Pets summoned to battle. Auxiliary-type Soul Pets were meticulously protected behind defensive-type Soul Pets, while combat-type Soul Pets furiously charged and killed, trying to carve a bloody path through the iron mountain-like blockade.

However, there were still more than two hundred Pupa Tribes, including the most potent leader which has yet to be dealt with. They still need some time to break through the encirclement.

“Team Leader, look at the valley!” Female Soul Pet Trainer Yu Sui suddenly showed a surprised expression!

Dakun, thinking that a powerful creature had appeared, hurriedly jumped to a high point and glanced over the Pupa Tribe at the valley 100 meters away, only to suddenly spot the youth they saw not long ago!

“How is it possible? How did he manage to do it all by himself?” (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote Recommended Votes and Monthly Tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
