…

Chu Mu received comprehensive education from a young age, including physical exercise. Despite all the difficulties encountered along the way, Chu Mu could still cope with them.

Chu Mu was following a small creek, which was formed by the melting snow on the lofty mountain at the center of the island. By following the creek, Chu Mu would not lose his way.

…

“Manxi Monster?” Chu Mu suddenly slowed down, staring at a soul pet drinking water a hundred meters away.

The Manxi Monster had a lizard-like body, pink skin, pointed ears, and a fish-like tail. It belonged to the Beast Type in the Demon Beast World, excelling in both strength and defense, while its speed and agility were comparatively weak in close-quarter combat.

“The Manxi Monster should be of a medium-grade species ranking, right?”

The strength of a soul pet is determined by its stages, which represent the growth condition of the soul pet’s body. As long as the soul pet is properly trained, the stages will increase with the soul pet’s age and battle experience, reaching the first, fourth, ninth stages, and even higher.

Therefore, stages are not the standard to judge a soul pet’s potential and quality, but the “Species Ranking” is a more critical factor.

Species Rankings indicate the inherent advantages of a soul pet’s race.

Among soul pets of the same fifth stage, a soul pet with a medium-grade species ranking will be stronger than a soul pet with a low-grade species ranking.

Take, for example, a juvenile tiger and a juvenile dog. The process of a juvenile dog becoming a mature adult dog is the stage development process. The difference between a tiger and a dog is reflected in the species ranking. Everyone would choose a tiger because it has a higher species ranking.

Species rankings are divided into low, medium, and high grades.

…

The Manxi Monster should be a popular choice, as medium-grade soul pets are generally easier to control and their stages develop faster.

However, Chu Mu didn’t think highly of this ranking, and the Manxi Monster had many limitations in battle. For example, its slow speed would undoubtedly lead to defeat when facing agile and magic-wielding soul pets.

Chu Mu didn’t intend to stay near the Manxi Monster. It was of a gentle nature and wouldn’t attack unless provoked.

Chu Mu walked past the Manxi Monster, which pulled its head out of the water, stared at Chu Mu with its large eyes, and, upon seeing Chu Mu’s nonmalicious intent, resumed drinking water.

“Second Soul Contract, Capture!!”

Suddenly, a resonant voice rang out, filled with passion and excitement.

Chu Mu’s heart raced, and he immediately stopped in his tracks, slowing his breathing.

“Whooosh~~~~~~” The faint sound came again! Chu Mu lay among the thorns, his breathing almost stopping!

Suddenly! Chu Mu felt something at his ankle!

Panicked, Chu Mu looked over to find something like a green snake wrapped around his ankle!

“Ah!!!” Before Chu Mu could even react, his body was yanked down, and he was dragged along the ground towards the depths of the Thorn Forest!

After being dragged for a while, Chu Mu finally saw the true nature of the snake-like object.

It wasn’t a snake, but a moving thorny vine whip!!

“Thorn Demon!” Chu Mu’s mind immediately brought up the name of this soul pet.

Thorn Demon: Plant World – Vine Family – Thorn Demon Clan

Thorn Demons live in thorny jungles, preying on creatures passing through the Thorn Forest and are among the most common carnivorous creatures in the Plant World!

Chu Mu knew that as soon as he was dragged to the Thorn Demon’s main body, his body would disintegrate and be used as a nutrient for the Thorn Demon!

With no time to lose in the face of danger, Chu Mu quickly gripped the machete in his hand and forcefully bent his body. Despite the pain of the thorns cutting into his cheeks, he fiercely sliced at the thumb-thick vine!

Chu Mu’s blade carried great strength, severing the vine with a swoosh, leaving a cut with green liquid oozing out.

After kicking the vine away, Chu Mu dared not linger. He picked up the machete, quickly crawled through the thorny jungle, and escaped the attack range of the Thorn Demon!

Running wildly, the sharp thorns continued to cut through Chu Mu’s skin, but he didn’t dare to stop.

The vast Thorn Forest seemed endless, and Chu Mu felt exhausted and out of breath.

With beams of bright sunlight shining through, the Thorn Forest finally became sparse, and Chu Mu, covered in wounds, managed to escape the green Thorn Forest.

“That Thorn Demon only seemed second rank. If it had increased by two more ranks and grown two more vines, it would have been much more dangerous!”

Chu Mu squatted behind a large rock, panting heavily, with lingering fear in his voice.

Thorn Demons have a Species Ranking of low grade, one level lower than the Manxi Monster. However, the Thorn Demon is one of the strongest attacking soul pets in the Plant World, with a very strong early stage and quick stage progression. If someone were to capture a Thorn Demon and rapidly increase its strength to seven or eight stages within three months, they would have no problem making it into the Top Ten!

In fact, the Thorn Demon with only one thorny vine that Chu Mu encountered still had great potential for Soul Contract Capture. Unfortunately, the Thorn Demon’s Species Ranking is too low, and despite its strong early stage, it has limited development space in the future.

Chu Mu decisively gave up on capturing the Thorn Demon.
