Supreme Tamer - Chapter 490:
Chapter 490: Chapter 363: Slaying Thousands, A Strong One Appears
Chu Mu took a few more glances at Team Leader Guo Zhan. What Chu Mu could see in his eyes was only indifference, as if he was not moved by The World Decree at all.
According to Chu Mu’s estimation, if Team Leader Guo Zhan was under thirty years old, he would definitely participate in The World Decree, and would be able to secure a good ranking in the second tier.
Chu Mu also wanted to learn more about The World Decree. After all, his most urgent goal now was the second tier. However, this team leader seemed unwilling to say more about it.
Seeing Team Leader Guo Zhan not willing to reveal anything, the others looked disappointed.
After resting for a while, they continued on their way.
The temperature in the desert dropped quickly at night, gradually becoming somewhat cold. Under the illumination of the stars, the whole Sand Bone Basin seemed very quiet.
The desert at night wouldn’t change much. Walking in such a quiet desert, stepping on the soft sand, did not bring tranquility and peace to everyone. Instead, it brought a sense of pervasive danger and caution…
“Hu-hu-hu”
Four pairs of flesh wings flapped, casting long shadows on the sand dunes.
The Four-winged Snake Demon kept flying at a height of twenty meters, overlooking a large expanse of sand, observing the situation around the team.
This Four-winged Snake Demon had already reached the ninth stage, but its Combat Power Level wasn’t very high. Presumably, Li He primarily focused on the stage rather than level when training this wayward Snake Demon.
In fact, the majority of Soul Pet Masters would focus their training on stage. Li He, Qingqing, and Shan Jing, their strengths were not much different from Chu Mu’s, but their Soul Pets were at a higher stage. Chu Mu’s advantage lay in the Combat Power Levels of his Soul Pets and various powerful skills.
“Ao-wu”
On top of the sand dune ahead, Team Leader Guo Zhan’s Horror Wolf was basking in the starlight, howling at the small basin ahead in a show of dominance!!
This howl was to drive away some low-stage Soul Pets blocking the road, and at the same time, it could also stir up some powerful Soul Pets that had buried themselves. It was a good scouting skill.
“Hu-hu-hu-hu-hu-hu”
A gust of desert wind rolled in from the depths of the basin, brushing against everyone’s faces.
Suddenly, a foul, bloody smell filled the air, causing everyone to feel a prickling sensation in their noses, and they quickly covered their noses.
Chu Mu, accustomed to various smells, looked indifferently into the distance. This wind didn’t stir up any sand or dust, it just carried this dense scent of blood over.
“There may have been a major slaughter ahead,” Team Leader Guo Zhan said with a furrowed brow.
After saying that, Team Leader Guo Zhan slowly walked to his Horror Wolf, stroking its head with his hand to soothe the ferocity that had been aroused by the scent of blood.
“Four-winged Snake Demon, go ahead and see what happened.” Li He gave an order to his Soul Pet.
“Don’t go.” Guo Zhan immediately stopped Li He’s action.
Li He looked at Guo Zhan with confusion, not understanding why the team leader would prevent his Soul Pet from checking out the situation. If they didn’t understand the situation, wouldn’t they be in great danger?
“There must be hundreds or thousands of corpses to produce such a strong smell. If such creatures exist, it would be very dangerous ahead, and the Four-winged Snake Demon is likely to be discovered easily,” Chu Mu said to Li He.
Chu Mu, accustomed to the scent of blood for a long time, could now judge the number of corpses based on the concentration of the smell of blood.
“Hu…Hundreds or thousands of corpses?” Qingqing looked shocked. The average strength of the Soul Pets in Sand Bone Basin was the Eighth Rank Commander. Hundreds or thousands of corpses, even without explanation, they could understand what that meant!
“We have to detour. It’s not safe here,” said Team Leader Guo Zhan.
“Detour without understanding the situation…” Li He felt that things might not be as serious as they imagined.
“This is the Eighth-level Mysterious Realm, not the places you’ve been to before. Danger can arise at any time. If you can sense it, it’s best to dodge it right away; otherwise, you’re just increasing your mortality rate,” Team Leader Guo Zhan said sternly.
Chu Mu agreed with Team Leader Guo Zhan. Being able to kill hundreds or thousands of creatures in the Sand Bone Basin meant there was a beast ahead that they would find hard to defeat. Instead of wasting time to check the situation, it was better to detour directly. A little inconvenience was better than facing unknown danger.
“Team leader, there’s a Soul Pet Master walking towards us!” Qingqing pointed at the top of the sand dune ahead and said.
Chu Mu immediately looked over, and what he saw was a cold moon hanging low over a sand dune, beneath which was a lone figure!
It was a Soul Pet Master on foot!
To Chu Mu’s astonishment, this Soul Pet Master did not have any Soul Pets by his side. He was just walking in the desert on foot, slowly approaching them.
The other four people were also taken aback. They had never thought that someone could be so bold as to walk on foot in this dangerous Sand Bone Basin. The Desert Mad Edge Scorpion might not come out at night, but the Western Armored Death Scorpion could take a Soul Pet Master’s life at any time!
The man was getting closer and closer. Through the starlight, they could now see his stern face.
His gaze was very empty, and the whole person looked like a soulless shell. His walking somehow gave people an indescribable sense of oppression!
The manner of this man was very unusual, his vacant eyes not even glancing at everyone else, and yet he was just steadily moving forward. Somehow, without anyone realizing, he had already drawn near to them.
All five of them treated the man before their eyes as a formidable foe. As he walked closer, for some reason when he passed through their team, all of their soul pets held their breath in concentration at that moment!
A strong one!!
A strong one who could suppress all of their soul pets just with his aura!
No one dared to speak, they just watched the man who came from the shocking battlefield, watching him walk through their team.
The air seemed to solidify at this time. Judging from the aura of the man, if he wished, there wouldn’t be someone here who could stand against him. Even if they teamed up together, they were still by no means a match for him.
Often times, the gap in strength is palpable even without summoning soul pets. At this time, that’s exactly what everyone was feeling!
“Mo Ye?”
Suddenly, the strong man stopped, his lifeless eyes suddenly came into focus, and his gaze fell on Chu Mu’s Zhan Ye.
“Yes.” Chu Mu nodded. Chu Mu was the calmest of them all, even though he realized that the strength of the man before him was likely greater than Lu Shanli!
“I have a Mo Ye, its stage is very low, it needs training. Would you be interested in a trial?” The man’s eyes gradually normalized somewhat.
“Not interested.” Chu Mu faced this bloody, powerful man and replied with a calm tone.
When Chu Mu refused, Li He, Qingqing, and Shan Jing all felt their hearts pounding. They didn’t dare to speak, because they guessed that this man might be the one who created the thick bloody wind!
Fighting hundreds or thousands of creatures in the Sand Bone Basin by himself, how terrifying is his strength!!
When they faced this man, they were all on their guard. Unexpectedly, Chu Mu not only maintained a normal attitude, but even managed to refuse. If it were them, they wouldn’t dare to contradict him at all.
The man raised his eyelids, finally taking a decent look at Chu Mu. After a moment, he spoke again, “There are a lot of corpses I left behind there. After the test, whatever’s left there is yours?”
“Are there any Desert Mad Edge Scorpion corpses?” Chu Mu asked.
“Forgot.” The man replied indifferently.
“Single control?” Chu Mu asked.
“Single control.”
“Sure.”
Chu Mu nodded, indicating that he could give it a try with this man.
A smile appeared on the man’s face, and he walked towards a more spacious sandy ground in front.
Chu Mu glanced at the other members of his team and, without saying anything, followed this strong man towards the sandy ground.
“Team leader…” Shan Jing looked at Team Leader Guo Zhan.
This weird man was obviously not a good person. Now he suddenly asked to compete with Chu Mu. Shan Jing was very worried that this guy would try to manipulate Chu Mu. After all, where would people challenge others on a whim out here in the wild!
“Team leader!” Li He had been waiting for the team leader to speak. However, when he turned his head, he was shocked to discover that Team Leader Guo Zhan had turned pale!!
Cold sweat flowed continuously from Guo Zhan’s forehead. The pair of eyes, which always looked calm and composed, was fixated on that man who was smelly with blood. It was a deep-seated fear, as if the devil in the bottom of his heart stood in front of him!!
Li He, Qingqing, and Shan Jing all knew that this man was very strong, but they were just anxious and reserved. None of them lost themselves like Team Leader Guo Zhan!
Qingqing realized that the team leader was currently in a state of extreme panic in his mind, and hurriedly applied a Tranquil Water Heart skill to Guo Zhan to calm him down.
“Team leader, do you know him…” After applying the skill, Qingqing found that Guo Zhan’s condition had stabilized a lot, so she asked softly.
Guo Zhan took a deep breath, but did not speak. His focused eyes were just looking at Chu Mu and the bloody man…
On the sandy ground under the night, the man, who was always enveloped by a strong smell of blood, started chanting a spell. An aura pattern wrapped around him and slowly landed on the chaotic sandy ground.
As the pattern sealed in, all the gravel turned into a black gas and disappeared completely!
Within the eerie pattern, a Soul pet with a dark aura throughout its body slowly appeared.
Glossy, ink-black armor under the starlight, a powerful body, extremely sharp claw blades, and a dignified skull covered by a head armor!! It was clearly a war beast–a Mo Ye! (To be continued.
