Chapter 1403 - Chapter 1403 Chapter 1266 Road of Huangquan Elderly Fox Man

Chapter 1403: Chapter 1266: Road of Huangquan: Elderly Fox Man Chapter 1403: Chapter 1266: Road of Huangquan: Elderly Fox Man Chu Mu’s emotions were churning violently.

The breaking of the soul contract caused Chu Mu to feel the agony of his soul being torn asunder, as though a piece of his soul had been cruelly sliced away!

He truly believed that Ye had died. He had followed the path Ye had taken, solely to discover where exactly Ye had fallen.

But what thrilled Chu Mu beyond measure was that Ye had not fallen; Ye was standing right there in front of him!

In the Heavenly Plain, the sight of Ye’s galloping silhouette had made Chu Mu unable to stop the tears from streaming down his face, and now, seeing Ye once again, Chu Mu felt a surge of excitement welling up in his abdomen, and his eyes were already moist.

Chu Mu reached out his hand and caressed Ye’s Dream Horn.

Now, Ye’s Dream Horn had grown mature, with its intricate curves and complex patterns.

Chu Mu himself could not remember how many years it had been since he last touched its smooth Dream Horn. Initially, it was he who had led it away from the island in Henghai into the vast lands.

Together they had fought in the Luo region, traversed the Great Chu Noble Family, crossed the Western Territory, competed in Li City, and galloped under the moonlight in World City…

Running, surpassing, strolling under the moonlight, weaving through darkness–Ye was an elegant dancer of darkness and a manipulator of dreams.

Chu Mu had caressed its Dream Horn, its forehead, its neck.

He touched the exaggerated and fierce blood-red Demon Pattern, clearly remembering that Ye was originally soft with pure black fur. This blood-red Demon Pattern did not belong to it.

“What are these?” Chu Mu’s fingers touched the vivid Demon Pattern, suddenly feeling a coldness of death spreading through his body.

“Hee~~~~~~” Ye emitted a cry, preventing Chu Mu from touching the Demon Pattern on its body.

Suddenly, Ye turned around, and its long white tail elegantly whipped out in the dim light.

Chu Mu was stunned, and before he could react, Ye suddenly disappeared into the darkness, the white feathers speeding away like lightning.

Chu Mu wanted to chase after it, but he could not feel any spiritual fluctuations.

The soul contract had already broken, and Chu Mu could no longer sense Ye’s emotions or its whereabouts. Chu Mu stood there dumbfounded, watching Ye rapidly disappear and staring blankly into the darkness.

“Ye is not dead, but why has the soul contract broken?” Chu Mu muttered to himself, lost in thought.

Having reached this level now, Chu Mu had gained a deeper understanding of the relationship between Soul Pet Masters and their Soul Pets.

Soul Pets are not the lifelong servants of Soul Pet Masters. Many Soul Pets, after they pass their weak early stages and become stronger, ultimately choose to return to their own places, and the soul contracts with humans are thus dissolved.

This is the Demon Tomb, the true place where Ye belongs. I originally took it from the island in Henghai, Ye did not die but the soul contract was broken–could it mean that Ye wants to stay in this Demon Tomb?

Chu Mu did not pursue, because he had never imagined that the Soul Pet he had spent days and nights with would choose to leave him.

“Chu Mu… that Huangquan… is Huangquan really your Soul Pet?” Chao Lengchuan walked up to Chu Mu and asked.

Xu Kuang and others also approached Chu Mu, they too found it hard to imagine that the fourth guardian of the Demon Tomb, Huangquan, was the Soul Pet Chu Mu was searching for, but hadn’t Chu Mu said earlier that it had failed the challenge?

Princess Jinrou watched Chu Mu, trying to read the complexities of his emotions using the Mind Reading Technique, but Chu Mu’s emotions were so complex that even Princess Jinrou could not depict them.

“What exactly is going on, is Huangquan really Chu Mu’s Soul Pet, and why did Huangquan suddenly leave?” Seeing Chu Mu not responding, Chao Lengchuan’s gaze turned towards Princess Jinrou.

“It was before. Before Chu Mu transformed into a demon in World City, he had dispersed his three soul pets. Afterwards, when Chu Mu woke up, the other two soul pets, Zhan Ye and Little Hiding Dragon, gradually returned, only this Night Thunder Dream Beast continuously wandered overseas. This time, going out to sea was to bring it back, but upon reaching the Demon Tomb, Chu Mu felt the soul contract break…” Princess Jinrou said.

These were the things Princess Jinrou had heard from Ye Qingzi, after the turmoil in World City, a lot had happened.

“Rumble, rumble, rumble~~~~ giggles, giggles, giggles~~~~~~~~~~~~~~”

The cavern and the Road of Huangquan began to tremble violently.

The violent shaking awakened those who had fainted sailors. The sailors thought they had died, but waking up, they found they were being dragged by a Demon Tree Warrior.

“Frenzied Corpse Army!!!!”

Suddenly, a sailor cried out in alarm!

Having just woken up, they faced yet another terrifying death legion, and these people frantically maneuvered their Soul Pets as they rushed towards the area where Chu Mu and others were!

Great Leader Xu Kuang had already heard the chaos behind him, and his brow furrowed deeply.

If Huangquan really was Chu Mu’s Soul Pet, then they all still had a slim chance of survival, but if Huangquan doesn’t let these people pass the Road of Huangquan, everyone must perish here!

“Great Leader… Great Leader… they’re rushing over!”

“The Frenzied Corpse Army is charging towards us!!”

The sailors shouted in panic!

The sailors quickly gathered around Xu Kuang, who glanced at the depths of the Road of Huangquan and saw that Huangquan’s figure had already disappeared, instantly leading the sailors with the intention of crossing the Road of Huangquan directly.

But just then, Huangquan’s dark sinister body reappeared!

Xu Kuang hesitated slightly. Having experienced Huangquan’s ferocity, he dared not advance further.

Facing the Frenzied Corpse Army, these people might have been able to resist for a while, but against Huangquan, they would easily crumble.

Ye appeared in front of Chu Mu again; after looking at Chu Mu, it suddenly increased its speed, darting past everyone and heading straight for the Frenzied Corpse Army.

“It wants to help us stop the Frenzied Corpse Army,” Princess Jinrou, who had caught Ye’s intent, urgently said to Chu Mu.

Chu Mu nodded but kept his gaze fixed ahead.

When Ye appeared again, Chu Mu saw a shadow!

Chu Mu remembered that after the Shadow Beast was knocked down, a figure had appeared and swiftly rescued the Shadow Beast.

Initially, Chu Mu thought it might be Wangchuan or Huangquan, but now it seemed clear there was a fifth guardian on the Road of Huangquan!

This shadow was approaching Chu Mu and the others, getting closer and closer…

“Human, you should not have come here…”

Suddenly, an elderly voice was heard!

Chu Mu, Xu Kuang, the Sea Maiden, Chao Lengchuan, Xia Zhixian, and Sang Ying all froze, their eyes fixated on the advancing figure.

This creature actually spoke human language!

A short figure with a cane, wearing a bizarre short robe, appeared, resembling an elderly man, thin and small in stature.

It slowly stepped out of the darkness, and Chao Lengchuan, Xia Zhixian, and Sang Ying’s expressions immediately changed because they realized this fellow bore an uncanny resemblance to the Fox Elder who often followed Chu Mu!

With a raccoon’s head, a short body, and stubby arms and legs, it looked older but very similar to Fox Elder.

Chu Mu was also stunned!

It was clearly an elderly version of Fox Elder!

Chu Mu had always thought that Fox Elder was unique in this “World,” only to discover there was another creature that looked exactly like him.

“Fox Elder…” Chu Mu called out Fox Elder.

Oddly, Fox Elder didn’t appear.

Normally, Fox Elder hid in any of Chu Mu’s Space Rings, be it the Space Ring or the Soul Capture Ring, but for some reason, Chu Mu couldn’t find him this time; Fox Elder seemed to have vanished into thin air.

“No need to be surprised, human language is not that difficult to learn,” the elderly Raccoon Man slowly made his way to the front of the crowd.

“You… Are you the guardian here? Are those characters written by you?” Great Leader Xu Kuang asked somewhat surprisingly.

This was the Demon Tomb Island, and those inscribed steles were definitely written by someone familiar with ancient human civilization. Xu Kuang had always been curious about where those steles had come from.

“Yes, because I’ve noticed more and more humans trying to break into the Demon Tomb,” said the elderly Raccoon Man.

After speaking, the elderly Raccoon Man looked in the direction of the advancing Frenzied Corpse Army. He seemed to sense everyone’s fear and anxiety, and smiled faintly, “Don’t worry, Huangquan will not let those corpses take a single step here. Come with me if you don’t want to die…”

Saying this, the elderly Raccoon Man took his short steps, leading everyone deeper into the Road of Huangquan.

For some reason, the path led by the elderly Raccoon Man seemed shorter, and after a short walk, they saw a light screen appearing ahead!

The light screen cascaded from the top of the cavern, illuminating it with unparalleled brightness!

In the center of the light screen, there was a raised rock which surprisingly held a crescent-shaped crown!

“A Demon Crown!” Xu Kuang exclaimed in shock, his face filled with excitement.

The Raccoon Elder turned his head back and let out a soft chuckle, saying, “Forget about the idea of having the Demon Crown. You’ve already lost and do not qualify to have it.”

Great Leader Xu Kuang opened his mouth but eventually closed it.

More than the Demon Crown, Great Leader Xu Kuang now cared more about how to leave this damn place; he did not want all his sailors to perish here!

“Alright, just stay here. Do not step into the area covered by the light screen,” the elderly Raccoon Man said.

Everyone followed the directions of this strange speaking creature, having already suffered devastating defeats after several battles.

“The second Demon Tomb is the path to immortality; any creature who feels their power is sufficient can come here to challenge, including humans,” the elderly Raccoon Man jumped onto a rock and spoke to the crowd.

“This path holds a massive Frenzied Corpse Army; these corpses are none other than those who have failed the challenge. You may have noticed that among these corpses there are also human corpses… Hehe, do not doubt anymore, the corpses of your companions that were previously thrown into the river for burial will also become part of the Frenzied Corpse Army.”

Hearing this, the sailors all involuntarily gasped, wondering if it had been them before, whether they would also turn into terrible flailing skeletons, devoid of memory and consciousness, only knowing to devour the flesh and blood of living beings.
