Chapter 21: Kill, The Cold-Fox
Chapter 21: Kill, The Cold-Fox
“Isn’t this Chu Mu? Why don’t you hurry back into your house and groom your little pet…” When Ma Zhi saw Chu Mu slowly approach, he immediately put on a mocking face.
The fight between Chu Mu and Zhang Luo had been suppressed by Ge Qing and hadn’t spread, so no one knew about the Moonlight Fox’s combat power. Even if others knew, no one would pay attention to Chu Mu. After all, Zhang Luo was a nobody too, so it was normal for him to be defeated.
“Who allowed you to pass from here? If you don’t want to die, get lost and go the other way.” The grey-clothed youth next to him immediately shouted when he saw Chu Mu about to enter the area they were guarding.
“You bastard, didn’t you hear what I said? If you don’t get lost right now, I’ll kill you!” The youth grew even angrier seeing Chu Mu ignore him.
Although the Stewards forbade Soul Pet Tamers on the island from killing each other before the contest, if a killing happened in the wild, no one would know.
Chu Mu slowly raised his head, indifferently glanced at the young man shouting hysterically in front of him, then his gaze turned cold. “Is there any need to speak with the dead?”
As soon as Chu Mu finished speaking, his body slid backwards in a strange way. Immediately after, a silver streak of light flashed through the somewhat gloomy forest, swiftly leaped over Chu Mu’s shoulder, and abruptly appeared before the grey-clothed youth!
Tearing Claw!
Left and right, intertwined, the sharp claws glinted with a cold light in the dimness. Several drifting leaves were sliced in half mid-air!
The grey-clothed youth’s words cut off abruptly. His pupils dilated continuously as he stared at Chu Mu in disbelief, then fell down in extreme terror. Thick blood splattered and smeared on the tree trunk.
Ma Zhi standing nearby was dumbstruck. Chu Mu had killed that youth in less than two seconds, and in those two seconds, Ma Zhi couldn’t even clearly see the Moonlight Fox’s movement!
Fast! The Moonlight Fox’s speed was terrifyingly fast, its attack ruthless and vicious, a fatal strike. The youth’s Soul Pet didn’t even have time to be summoned!
Finally, Ma Zhi snapped out of his shock. He stumbled backwards in panic and summoned his Soul Pet.
Ma Zhi’s Soul Pet was a Rock Monster, from the Elemental Realm—Rock Type—Rock Monster Clan—Mid-Grade. It was about one point three to four meters tall, humanoid in shape, with a strong build and exceptionally thick arms.
Judging by its appearance and color, it should be at the Sixth Tier. The Rock Monster was naturally a defensive and strength-type Soul Pet. If it had reached the Sixth Tier, its rock skin should at least be at the late stage.
The defensive power of rock skin was inherently much stronger than the skin defenses of other Soul Pets. If Little Mo Xie’s claws were only at the late stage and she didn’t use a skill, she could never breach this Rock Monster’s defense.
“Rumble~!”
The Rock Monster had tremendous weight. As soon as its foot landed in the forest, it could cause slight tremors.
Chu Mu had already retreated from the battlefield, and his attention immediately focused on Ma Zhi’s Rock Monster!
“Zhou Shengmo… Zhou Shengmo…” After summoning his Soul Pet, Ma Zhi began to scream loudly for help.
“Shasha sha~!”
However, right at that moment, white, thread-like, sticky stuff suddenly fell from a tree trunk above and accurately poured right into Ma Zhi’s throat. It immediately completely blocked Ma Zhi’s windpipe, not only preventing him from making a sound but also making it hard for him to breathe.
“Mo Xie, kill him!” Chu Mu immediately gave the order to Mo Xie.
During battle, Mo Xie displayed a completely different temperament—cold, cruel, fierce. After killing that youth, Mo Xie accelerated again, charging towards Ma Zhi!
Ma Zhi’s throat was blocked, but he could still command his Rock Monster through mental commands. As Mo Xie charged towards him, Ma Zhi also directly ordered his Rock Monster to ram into Mo Xie.
Mo Xie, however, charged straight for the Rock Monster. Her running speed was at least three times faster than the Rock Monster’s!
The Rock Monster’s strength and defense were surely much stronger than Mo Xie’s, but it held no advantage in speed. Mo Xie’s agile body continuously shifted positions while running, her silver fur almost like a blur of afterimages.
The Rock Monster took a big stride, suddenly leaped up, and then pressed down heavily, directly aiming to crush Mo Xie’s small body!
Seeing the Rock Monster’s action, Chu Mu curled his lips in a light sneer, his gaze fixed on the silvery-white Little Mo Xie.
The Rock Monster’s leap wasn’t high, its body stretched out, and the area it covered while pressing down was very wide. If crushed, Mo Xie’s small frame would surely die on the spot. However, just as Mo Xie was enveloped by the Rock Monster’s shadow, her speed suddenly increased sharply!
“Whoosh!”
A silver light flashed and vanished. Within the shadow, Mo Xie’s speed instantly grew, allowing her to dart directly under the Rock Monster’s body!
“Shadow Assault!” Ma Zhi immediately showed a look of astonishment. This skill of instantly accelerating within shadows was exactly the stealth attack skill many Soul Pets of the Beast Attribute possessed!
A Sixth Tier Moonlight Fox could actually execute this stealth attack skill! And she had slipped through the brief gap between the Rock Monster’s jump and its downward press. This application was completely beyond his expectations!
“Boom!”
The Rock Monster crashed heavily to the ground, sending mud and grass roots flying, shaking the surrounding earth. However, this attack caused no harm to Mo Xie. Mo Xie was still accelerating after her dash, without any pause, and charged straight towards Ma Zhi!
Ma Zhi was stunned. He never expected this Moonlight Fox to be this terrifying. He frantically covered his throat and hid behind a tree.
“Hmph, what good will hiding there do?” Chu Mu gave a cold laugh!
The dash from Shadow Assault pushed Mo Xie’s speed to its limit. And in that instant, her leap and release of the Tearing Claw could be said to bring the attack power of Tearing Claw to its strongest degree!
“Swish!”
Mo Xie’s Claw Blade swept sharply across the tree trunk’s surface, leaving a distinct indigo cold light!
“Crack~!”
A neat cut appeared on the tree with a ten-centimeter diameter. And behind the tree, Ma Zhi completely froze in place. A thin red line appeared on his dark neck.
Mo Xie completed her attack and landed lightly on the ground. The next moment, bright red, striking blood sprayed from the red line on Ma Zhi’s neck, splattering madly in all directions…
Ma Zhi’s eyes were wide open, staring blankly at the sky obscured by leaves, his gaze full of terror and horror. Finally, he slowly collapsed amidst the spreading blood mist…
The entire killing process took less than a minute! These two youths, who just moments ago were talking about possibly being eliminated, would never have imagined they would die at Chu Mu’s hands. Perhaps if Chu Mu hadn’t obtained an ornamental Soul Pet, they wouldn’t even have remembered this young man’s name!
