Supreme Tamer

Chapter 494: Chapter 366: Devil’s Trial, Desert Wanderer

Late at night, the entire desert was dead silent.

Chu Mu didn’t continue to travel with those four people but instead took strides towards the back of the sand dunes.

A thick smell of blood enveloped the basin, and Chu Mu stood on the ridge of the sand dune, looking out at a large pile of bloody corpses stacked in the basin.

Shattered insect armor, broken limbs, cracked skulls, and torn-off tails mixed with bodily fluids and blood made the scene nauseating!

These were thousands of corpses!!

Chu Mu didn’t know how long this guy had been fighting or how powerful his Soul Pets were, but just seeing this basin filled with bloody corpses was enough to know how terrifying Soul Alliance Qin Ye was.

“Young Master, there are mostly Desert Mad Edge Scorpion corpses here. Maybe their poison liquid will be enough for you,” Fox Elder said.

“You collect the poison liquid; I will continue walking forward,” Chu Mu said.

“Young Master, do you still want to go further? This poison liquid should be enough,” Fox Elder said.

“Our Soul Pets still need stronger training,” Chu Mu said.

Spirit items were always auxiliary, and only through constant battle could Soul Pets surpass and strengthen their abilities. Chu Mu wouldn’t leave the Eighth-level Mysterious Realm so soon, and he would continue to fight!

“Young Master…” Fox Elder looked at Chu Mu with determination, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Jumping straight from the Seventh-level Mysterious Realm to the Eighth-level Mysterious Realm was something no one else his age could possibly do. Even now in this Eighth-level Mysterious Realm, Chu Mu was still determined to surpass, like a battle maniac…

Fox Elder began to regret letting Chu Mu come to this expert-filled World City too early because Chu Mu’s heart was incredibly wild. Once he had seen the incredible summit of strength, he would climb tirelessly, no matter if it could break his body…

“Either fall into the abyss or climb to the peak of Soul Pets.” The short Fox Elder stood among a pile of corpses, his eyes showing a rare mixture of complex emotions.

Fox Elder watched Chu Mu’s figure fade into the distance, a determined figure that reminded him of a person with an inexplicably wild heart a long, long time ago…

Cold moon, lone shadow, silent desert, leaving a neat row of footprints gradually traversing towards the mysterious region, a territory full of unknown dangers…

Soul Hall Inner Hall

“Jia Jing, Young Master Chu has never been back?” Lord Yu asked.

Jia Jing was startled awake by Lord Yu’s sudden appearance in Chu Mu’s room, and she hurriedly kneeled and bowed.

“No…no, Young Master Chu hasn’t returned,” Jia Jing hastily replied, afraid Lord Yu would blame her laziness.

Jia Jing had been idle for almost three months now. During this three-month period, she had hardly done anything, sleeping and wandering around all day long. It was the first time Jia Jing had been so relaxed as a servant…

Lord Yu didn’t ask anything more and walked slowly towards the exit.

“Li Hen, take a group familiar with the sand domain to find Young Master Chu. When you do, bring him back immediately,” Lord Yu instructed his subordinates.

“Yes!” A man named Li Hen by Lord Yu’s side bowed.

“Chu Chen? Master Li Hen, I met a Hall Assistant named Chu Chen in the front sand domain a little more than a month ago. Is he the person you are looking for?” Shan Jing hurriedly said to Li Hen.

“Yes, it should be him; you come with me too,” Li Hen picked a few subordinates and took Shan Jing along.

Shan Jing’s face showed happiness. Li Hen was Lord Yu’s capable assistant, and his strength was remarkable. It was difficult for a Soul Pet Master with a level 7 title like Shan Jing to get close to someone of this level under normal circumstances, so he was thrilled at the rare opportunity to get close.

It would usually take at least six days to fly from World City to the front sand domain. A little more than a month ago, Shan Jing had just returned from the desert, only to re-enter the hot sands today.

However, this time Shan Jing didn’t have to trek through the sand dunes aimlessly, but instead directly rode on the Winged Soul Pets of Li Hen and the other Soul Hall experts, flying over the desert!

Flying without hindrance in the air!! This was something every Soul Pet Trainer coveted!

The biggest taboo in the Mysterious Realm was flying. Flying in the sky was tantamount to challenging all flying Soul Pets in the Eighth-level Mysterious Realm, an unthinkable thought for Shan Jing before.

But this time, following Li Hen and the other Soul Hall experts, they flew directly through the Eighth-level Mysterious Realm, and there was no trace of Winged Soul Pets daring to stop them along the way. Shan Jing had never experienced this feeling before!!

“Why are the few masters looking for Chu Chen?” Shan Jing asked quietly, wondering if his former teammate, that young man, was of extraordinary status.

“Don’t ask too much, just lead the way,” Li Hen said indifferently.

“My subordinate talked too much…” Shan Jing was shocked and dared not ask any more questions. He led several powerful men he both respected and feared towards the sandy area where he and Chu Mu had parted before.

In the vast desert, finding a person is never easy. For several consecutive days, Li Hen and the others searched the Front Sand Domain without spotting any trace of the young man.

“Sir, what if he was already buried in this sand region?” a Soul Official with a Level 8 title said.

“Let’s go deeper and have a look. Lord Yu ordered us to bring him back to the Soul Hall.” Li Hen spoke calmly.

“I remember when we were heading toward the Rear Desert Area, at the junction between the Front and Rear Sand Domains, I noticed some footprints. I’m not sure if it’s him,” Shan Jing said.

“He’s a member of the younger generation, he wouldn’t have ventured into the Rear Desert Area, right?” the Soul Official commented.

Li Hen frowned and hesitated for a moment, then said, “Let’s go to the Rear Desert Area and have a look.”

“Sir, we can’t fly that freely in the Rear Desert Area,” a few Soul Officials said with pale faces when they heard the destination.

Everyone here knew that the Rear Desert Area was one of the most dangerous places in the entire Ancient Wasteland. Even they, who had reached the Level 8 title of Soul Officials, might not dare to enter it casually.

Without saying anything, Li Hen directly commanded his Winged System Soul Pet to head toward the Rear Desert Area.

The other Soul Officials could only follow suit, heading into the notorious Rear Desert Area.

The Rear Desert Area had no obvious boundaries to the Front Sand Domain. Many Soul Pet Masters who had experienced this desert only realized they had entered the Rear Desert Area once they were trapped by countless soul pets.

In the Rear Desert Area, countless Ninth Rank Commanders roamed, and Eighth Rank creatures were as numerous as ants.

“We should be getting close to the outer periphery of the Rear Desert Area. Let’s try not to fly as much. There are countless Dark Bald Eagles in that place, and we could be trapped in the sky if we’re not careful…” Shan Jing nervously said.

Li Hen glanced at the timid Shan Jing but didn’t care about his words, directly steering his winged Soul Pet into the Rear Desert Area.

“Sir…” The other three Soul Officials looked at the determined Li Hen and were at a loss for words. They had no choice but to harden their resolve and follow him.

At this time, Shan Jing was even more frustrated. Li Hen’s Winged System Soul Pet was the Misty Immortal Bird, one of the Seven Holy Pets of Soul Hall!

The Misty Immortal Bird was a Monarch-level Soul Pet, and Li Hen’s Misty Immortal Bird had even reached the Tenth Rank, giving him the right to fly directly in the Rear Desert Area.

The other Soul Officials had Soul Pets that were not Misty Immortal Birds, but they were powerful enough to have reached either the Ninth Rank Commander or above the Eighth Rank Monarch level. With Li Hen’s protection, they probably wouldn’t have any problems.

However, he was just a Hall Executioner with a Level 7 title, and his Peak Command Soul Pet had only reached the Eighth Rank, advanced stage. With such strength, it would be suicidal even to fly in the Seventh-level Mist Realm, let alone barge into the Rear Desert Area…

“Misty Immortal Bird, Misty Immortal Bird… How much longer is it going to take me to get one of those Seven Diagram Sacred Beasts…” Shan Jing looked at the majestic Winged System Monarch-level Soul Pet radiating a dazzling light and couldn’t help but envy it.

Above the Monarch-level Misty Immortal Bird, Li Hen stood silently, gazing down at the vast desert below.

As they got deeper into the desert, sand dunes became fewer, and the whole landscape appeared like a golden ocean of countless ripples stretching toward the blue sky at the horizon.

“Eh~~ Eh~~~”

Suddenly, Li Hen’s Misty Immortal Bird cried out sharply, indicating that something had appeared before them.

Li Hen cast a soul skill, and his eyes gradually became sharp, resembling the pupils of a fierce eagle.

“A survivor?” Li Hen muttered to himself.

A tattered, bruised man appeared in Li Hen’s field of vision. The man had no soul pets beside him, and he walked through the dangerous desert on foot.

Behind this man was a long trail of footprints in the sand, indicating he had been walking for a very long distance.

“Let’s go down and have a look.” Li Hen told his Misty Immortal Bird.

The Misty Immortal Bird descended at an incredible speed, arriving on the ground from nearly a thousand meters in the sky within seconds. As its wings spread powerfully, the impact force dissipated…

“Woooosh~”

When the Misty Immortal Bird landed, a whirlwind swept across the area over a hundred meters wide…

This whirlwind of sand directly hit the injured man, who didn’t seem to dodge. He continued moving forward in the midst of the swirling sands, unimpeded by the gust of wind generated by the Misty Immortal Bird…

“May I ask, are you Young Master Chu?” Li Hen carefully examined the wretched, battered man before he cautiously asked.

The wanderer slowly lifted his head, his lifeless black eyes gradually becoming more focused. After a long time, he opened his dry lips and said hoarsely:

“It’s me!”
