The Charm of Soul Pets

The Ruthless Corpse General had a tall and sturdy body. Its ashen black skin had a few ulcers which seeped with poisonous pus.

The corpse aura grew increasingly dense, already turning the atmosphere of the sandy beach into a ball of miasmic aura. Amidst the miasmic aura, it was possible to see things digging through the sand. They happened to be rotten claws stretching out of the earth!

There were many corpses on the sand.

Under the miasmic aura, these corpses began to wriggle and let out unpleasant sounds of joints creaking.

A corpse wind blew through and corpses began to climb up on the beach. They shakingly swayed their heads and blankly surveyed their surroundings.

Their vacuous eyes looked a bit disgusting and the moment they smelled a creature, their eyes would instantly emit a green light!

In an instant, four or five thousand corpses had crawled up on the beach.

These corpses were emitting nauseating stenches and had rapacious and starved eyes that made people feel uncomfortable.

“Do you know why I lured you here?” Big Leader Zhuo Qing malevolently laughed.

This sandy beach was the execution ground of the pirates. There were numerous corpses strewn here and most of them had been killed by the Ruthless Corpse General.

The creatures killed by the Ruthless Corpse General would slowly turn into zombies which would all be of the pseudo dominator rank. With four or five thousand of them, if each corpse took a bite, they would be able to bite Chu Mu’s Dream Beast into bones!

“Don’t let it run!” Big Leader Zhuo Qing gave an order.

The Ruthless Corpse General’s body was the largest. It let out a prideful cry. Instantly, the four or five thousand corpses surrounded Chu Mu and released rotten zombie breath all over them.

With so many corpses and packed so tightly together, the onlookers felt their scalps tingle.

Pang Yue hated corpse type creatures the most and when she saw these disgusting things, her face went pale.

“Chu Mu… Chu Mu has been surrounded. We need to help him.” hastily said Pang Yue.

Pang Yue herself refused to go given the number of corpses there. Even New Moon Navy’s members would have a hard time reaching that place.

But nobody responded to Pang Yue’s cry. She hastily used a mental voice to speak to Prince Chao: “Chu Mu is in trouble. Hurry and bring some people to help him!”

Chao Lengchuan looked at Chu Mu in the distance who was surrounded by a large group of corpses. He nodded his head and was planning on going to help Chu Mu when the adjacent Sang Ying yelled at him to stop.

“Chao Lengchuan where are you going? There is still a group of dominator rank pirates here that aren’t easy to deal with.” said Sang Ying.

“I’m going to help Chu Mu.” said Chao Lengchuan.

“Have you gone stupid?” disdainfully said Sang Ying.

Chao Lengchuan was stunned by this remark, but he abruptly realized why he had said this.

The Night Thunder Dream Beast had been the leader of a large corpse army of several tens of thousands. The departed spirits Big Leader Zhuo Qing had summoned weren’t even a tenth of that large corpse army.

Indeed, when they were on Yellow Springs Path, Yellow Springs only needed to stand in front of the large corpse army and managed to fear them into retreat. Chao Lengchuan still vividly remembered that scene.

“I really may have gone stupid.” Chao Lengchuan mocked himself. Thus, he turned around and ignored what was happening to Chu Mu. He continued to chase after the other pirates.

Pang Yue saw that Chao Lengchuan had suddenly ran off and Sang Ying wasn’t going to help Chu Mu. This made her extremely anxious.

Chu Mu was alone and without help now. Eventually he would be swallowed up by the group of zombies. There was even the peak dominator rank Ruthless Corpse General among this group of zombies.

Pang Yue felt the situation wasn’t good, so she gritted her teeth and urged her soul pet to charge towards the sandy beach.

The terror of the zombies far surpassed her imagination, especially when she saw the puss seep out of their ulcers…

Pang Yue was a support soul pet trainer and specialized in healing horrific wounds. However, for some reason, she had an uncontrollable fear towards moving corpses.

The ulcerated faces were right in front of her and Pang Yue charged on her low class dominator rank Single Horned War Deer into the disgusting corpse army.

Suddenly, the corpses turned into a pile of mush and washed away in front of Pang Yue like a river.

When Pang Yue saw this, she felt like her stomach was violently churning. This was definitely the most disgusting thing she had seen before.

A huge number of corpses fell into the river of pus and as the number increased, Pang Yue’s face lost its color from fright, and she added a cleansing technique to herself to expel the thick, nauseating smell.

Pang Yue wandered through the corpses and swore to herself that if she didn’t see Chu Mu, she would immediately leave. Those corpses that had turned into mush and pus were too disgusting. They were so disgusting she was getting goosebumps all over her body!

Finally, Pang Yue found Chu Mu standing at the center of a clean area not doing anything.

There wasn’t a single zombie within a hundred meters of Chu Mu. For some reason, each time a corpse tried to step within this distance of Chu Mu, it would instantly become mincemeat.

Pang Yue closed her eyes and charged up to Chu Mu!

She had intended to come here and help the alone and helpless Chu Mu. Yet when she finally stopped next to Chu Mu, she discovered she was having issues standing without trembling.

When Chu Mu saw Pang Yue charge over, he forced a smile.

Was this woman being brave or doing something ridiculous? What was the point in charging here if she couldn’t even stand straight!

“Are… are you ok?” Pang Yue subconsciously asked.

“I should be asking you this. What did you charge here for?” said Chu Mu.

“Obviously to help you!” Pang Yue glared at him. She had mustered up a lot of courage to charge here and this man was treating her like she was unnecessary.

“Eh, didn’t Chao Lengchuan tell you that my soul pet isn’t afraid of departed spirits?” said Chu Mu.

Pang Yue shook her head, as she surveyed the mass of corpses around them.

Although the scene was still bloody and disgusting, Pang Yue suddenly discovered that all of the zombie underlings of the Ruthless Corpse General had for some reason all festered and collapsed. Their rate of death was extremely fast!

As she looked, she was faintly able to see a white tail rapidly sweep across the zombie army. Everywhere it went, not a single zombie was able to stop it before the zombie was rendered into a pile of mincemeat!

As for the enormous Ruthless Corpse General, it was unable to catch its rapid moving figure. Every time this enormous corpse used a technique, it would end up smashing its own zombie underlings.

“Is… is that your Night Thunder Dream Beast?” Pang Yue covered her mouth in shock.

Chu Mu nodded his head. Pang Yue was indeed unnecessary here. Even if there were forty or fifty thousand corpses here, let alone four or five thousand, Night would still dare fight them!

Demons were ultimately limited in group killing techniques and destroying one zombie at a time would take a long time.

After eliminating over a thousand departed spirits, Night suddenly appeared in front of Chu Mu. Its black eyes suddenly flickered with an evil glint.

The blood marks from its snout to its neck suddenly flashed with an ominous glint. These corpse markings on Night’s body were the indicator of it transforming into a departed spirit. After it was resurrected, it was still able to control the power that could intimidate departed spirit creatures.

Its black eyes twinkled and the blood devil marks lit up. This power filled Night’s dream horn and began to proliferate from the horn like dream ripples!

The sandy beach which was initially covered by the miasmic aura now looked like a dream realm filled with dense fog.

When the waves from Night’s dream horn finished rippling, the surrounding area suddenly became deathly quiet!

There wasn’t a single sound. The entire world had gone quiet. Even the greedy and disgusting zombies weren’t letting out unpleasant noises anymore.

“What… what happened?” Pang Yue broke out into a cold sweat. She didn’t understand why everything had become silent.

Chu Mu was standing beside her. Aside from him, all of the living creatures and departed spirits had fallen into the Dream Trap Night had set up. The Dream Trap would always be established upon a realistic background, preventing creatures from differentiating genuine reality from false reality.

“It’s Night’s dream.” explained Chu Mu.

Night’s dream. Nobody knew how large the range of this dream was. In other words, nobody knew if they had fallen into the dream.

Although this state didn’t last very long, Pang Yue felt like a long time had passed.

Finally, the strange dream fog dissipated and the noise of the surroundings entered her ears again.

Her sight became clear again and the group of terrifying zombies was still surrounding them.

“Attack!!! All of you attack those soul pet trainers!! Kill them for me!!!” Zhuo Qing’s angry roar reverberated through the area.

Pang Yue looked up and instantly saw Zhuo Qing standing on the shoulder of the Ruthless Corpse General.

Zhuo Qing was currently in a fit of rage and ordering the zombies to attack Chu Mu because for some reason, the three thousand remaining corpses had stopped moving for a few seconds just now!

“Ewu!!!!!!!”

The Ruthless Corpse General let out another unpleasant howl, ordering the zombies around it.

However, the 3000 zombies with blank eyes just stood in place with no intentions of moving.

“Attack, you damned corpses!!” Big Leader Zhuo Qing was still howling.

The Ruthless Corpse General was also roaring, but it seemed to have lost control over all its departed spirits as they weren’t listening to its orders.

“Hui!!!!!”

Just then, NIght suddenly pridefully raised its heads and let out a cry at the departed spirits.

This cry was like a ruler’s order. In an instant, the 3000 zombies let out a terrifying howl. THeir green eyes were all locked onto Zhuo Qing’s Ruthless Corpse General.

In the next instant, all of the zombies surrounded the Ruthless Corpse General like a tide and began to berserkly bite at its body!

“Chu Mu… your… your Dream Beast can control departed spirits?” Pang Yue looked full of shock at Night, which was commanding the departed spirits.

The Ruthless Corpse General’s position among departed spirits was at most like a general of four or five thousand departed spirits, while NIght had climbed up to the position of leader of several tens of thousands of corpses when it was on Demonic Burial Mound. In terms of position among departed spirits, Night was countless times higher than the Ruthless Corpse General!

And this honor had taken the form of the blood mark imprinted on its face and neck!
