Chapter 604: Chapter 475: Thousand-leg Centipede, Labyrinth Cavern
Mo Ye led the way, with Zhan Ye and White Demon closely following by its side.
Mo Ye had mastered Chu Mu’s tracking skills. Although Chu Mu, who was now sitting on Mo Ye’s back, had his spirit severely damaged and was struggling to think, Mo Ye could still rely on its years of experience with Chu Mu to find the hiding place of Princess Jinrou.
Princess Jinrou stayed near the cave, and not long ago, she heard the sound of the high valley collapsing and knew that Chu Mu must have encountered Ling He.
Ling He’s strength was considered to be one of the deepest hidden among all the second-tier, and only a few people knew about the existence of this strongest young man.
If Chu Mu was in a state of full spirit, then Princess Jinrou believed that Chu Mu could escape from Ling He unscathed with his own field practice ability. But Chu Mu was also subjected to such strong spiritual poison devouring, and Princess Jinrou worried that Chu Mu would faint halfway through.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~~~~~~~”
Light footsteps came from nearby, and soon Princess Jinrou saw Chu Mu’s Mo Ye running towards her.
Mo Ye was accompanied by the White Demon and Zhan Ye, while Chu Mu, who seemed somewhat paralyzed, lay on Mo Ye’s back, looking very strange.
Princess Jinrou hurriedly came forward, but as she approached, she suddenly found that Chu Mu had already fainted completely, and his entire body even showed slight convulsions.
“Chu Mu… Chu Mu…” Princess Jinrou tried to wake Chu Mu up.
Chu Mu’s consciousness had become completely blurred. To avoid being tracked by the defecting girl puppet, he persisted for two whole days. This period was the limit of his mental fortitude, and by now he had completely lost consciousness, making it difficult for Princess Jinrou to wake him up no matter how much she called.
“Little Princess, his spirit is seriously damaged and he has to remain unconscious for several days. Before he recovers, you must ensure his safety.” Fox Elder jumped out and said to Princess Jinrou.
Princess Jinrou’s face quickly showed surprise, not knowing where a half-human, half-pet creature that could speak had come from, and after a while, she reacted and said, “Could it be… the legendary talking raccoon?”
“…” Fox Elder’s expression became somewhat uncomfortable when he heard Princess Jinrou describe him this way.
“I don’t have time to argue with you, a young lady who doesn’t know how to respect elders. Just hurry up and hide in the cave. Ling He’s nose is as good as a dog’s, and he’ll be hot on our heels in no time. Your hiding power is limited, so we must use these complex caves to shake him off.” Master Li said.
Princess Jinrou nodded and didn’t ask any more questions, jumping onto the Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon’s back and heading deep into the pitch-black cave.
Mo Ye also knew that Chu Mu needed Princess Jinrou’s protection now, so it closely followed Princess Jinrou, hoping that she could safely help Chu Mu escape this crisis. As long as Chu Mu could wake up, neither Ling He nor those assassins would be able to track the highly capable Chu Mu in the wild.
…
“Fox Elder, why does Chu Mu look strange? I feel like he seems to recognize that veiled woman.” Deep inside the cave, Princess Jinrou still couldn’t help asking Fox Elder out of curiosity.
She had felt that Chu Mu was very strange before, as if there was something hidden in his heart that made Princess Jinrou feel that Chu Mu seemed to want to fight with the other party to the death.
“That… I can’t just casually say it, can I?” Fox Elder looked like he couldn’t keep the secret.
“I know an even bigger secret about him. What can’t I say?” The bigger secret Princess Jinrou was referring to was naturally Mo Ye’s consecutive mutations.
Princess Jinrou had been keeping this secret for Chu Mu all along, and she felt that once it was revealed, it would definitely cause a sensation among all forces, and Chu Mu would become a true eye-catcher.
“You know that he lost a spirit, don’t you? This is related to the first spirit he lost. This is all I can say, no more.” Fox Elder said.
Princess Jinrou paused, not expecting that those people would be related to Chu Mu’s first spirit loss. If this was a matter of the dignity of the first spirit, then Chu Mu’s performance today could indeed be explained. Chu Mu was not the kind of person who would shrink back; he was a strong-willed fighter who was always burning with conviction and constantly battling!
…
Outside the giant mountain, countless green figures appeared quickly, driving their soul pets and gathering at the entrance of the cave where Princess Jinrou had entered earlier.
Ling He stood with a cold face above all the green-clothed killers, his eyes sweeping over all the killers and their soul pets.
Ling He stood on his Tenth Rank Monarch-level Fierce Sun Unicorn and said, “Those two people are in this cave. They must want to use the complexity of the caves to escape our pursuit.”
“”Sir Ling, caves are one of the best assassination environments we are skilled in. Rest assured, we won’t let the two of them escape this time!” said the leader of the blue-clothed assassins in a calm tone.
“We will disperse and conduct a comprehensive search within the cave. No matter where they hide, we will find them!” said another assassin leader.
Ling He smirked and slowly said, “Disperse? No need. The Little Princess of the Nightmare Demon Palace is not weak either, and you assassins might not be a match for them. It would be easy for them to defeat you one by one. Do as I say now, you two leaders lead your teams in two groups, and then come with me into the cave. My Lightning King can track their scent, all you have to do is seal off every possible escape route when I find them!”
The two assassin leaders exchanged glances and then nodded, beginning to split the assassins into two groups.
“Now follow me. I hope you’re not too slow,” said Ling He.
“Sir Ling rest assured, though our soul pets’ strength cannot compare with yours, we will never fall behind in pursuit.” said both assassin leaders simultaneously.
“That’s good. I’ll find them within a day!” said Ling He with a smile on his face.
The reason why Ling He could track Chu Mu all the time was not because of his strong field training ability, but because he had a Lightning King that could track them for miles. As long as the Lightning King was there, Chu Mu and Princess Jinrou would not be able to escape.
…
…
The caves inside the giant mountain were a maze of complexity. Countless rock tunnels led to unknown destinations, and completely empty caverns. There were even more unpredictable underground rivers. The whole place was like an incredibly complicated underground labyrinth.
Such a unique group of caves was also the habitat of many soul pets who liked dark, closed environments. It could be considered a huge nest of soul pets!
When Princess Jinrou entered the incredibly complex soul pet nest, she encountered countless obstructions from various soul pets along the way. She couldn’t be like Chu Mu and move through the area without disturbing any soul pets. She even faced several attempts of group attacks by the soul pets.
The majority of the inhabiting soul pets in the cave were insect species, and to a certain extent, they also carried dark attributes.
“Little Princess, change paths. If you keep going on this route, there will be a nest of thousands of insect-type soul pets ahead. Based on my experience, it’s likely to be the lair of Thousand-leg Centipedes. Once you enter, even if all your soul pets have reached the tenth rank, you may not come out alive,” warned Fox Elder immediately.
“Then which path should I take? We can’t go back the way we came. Those assassins and Ling He are not far behind me.” said Princess Jinrou.
“Have your Little Ice Fox freeze the rock layers above you, and then let any rock-type soul pets break through the surface. The cave above your head leads to another layer of caves, perfectly above the lair of the Thousand-leg Centipedes. You can cross through from there.” said Fox Elder.
“Could I try to use these Thousand-leg Centipedes to deal with those assassins?” asked Princess Jinrou.
“Well … nevermind. You don’t know much about wild soul pet groups and how to control them— it will be like playing with fire. It’s safer to go to the upper caves.” said Fox Elder.
Princess Jinrou did not insist on her thoughts and let the Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon freeze the rock layer above them before letting powerful soul pets break through the upper rock layers.
Fox Elder noticed that dripping water from above and concluded that there must be another cave above them.
Sure enough, as he had guessed, after breaking through about ten meters of rock, a large empty layer appeared, and it was an incredibly winding mountain tunnel.
Princess Jinrou did not know where the tunnel would lead, so she took her soul pets and Chu Mu’s three soul pets into the upper rock layer …
Thousand-leg Centipedes could move freely both through the soil and rock layers. As soon as Princess Jinrou entered the upper rock layer, she quickly discovered that there were obvious traces of the centipedes crossing through, making the rock layers look riddled with holes, giving them a somewhat ferocious appearance.
“Little Princess, be careful. These Thousand-leg Centipedes may have been nesting here for many years, and their ranks are very high. If you’re not careful and get cornered by them, it’ll be hard to escape.” warned Master Li.
As soon as Princess Jinrou saw those crawling and burrowing traces, she started to feel uneasy. After all, she was near thousands of the ferocious centipedes!
“If it were Chu Mu, he’d really be able to use this group of Thousand-leg Centipedes to shake off those assassins…” said Fox Elder.
Princess Jinrou looked at Chu Mu, who was lying on Mo Ye’s back. It had been almost half a day since they had entered the cave, and there were still no signs of Chu Mu waking up. Princess Jinrou wondered how much longer she could hold on…
