Chapter 9: The Soul Pact, Capturing the Mutation Fox
Chapter 9: The Soul Pact, Capturing the Mutation Fox
“Could this little fellow really have mutated?” Chu Mu grabbed the Little Fox in front of him and looked at it carefully.
“But even if it mutated, it should only have changed from a Red Cloud Fox to a Blue Star Fox. How did it suddenly become a Moonlight Fox? Unless this little guy didn’t mutate just once, but mutated twice in this period.”
Chu Mu continued talking to himself, but as he spoke, his voice grew softer and softer.
Chu Mu was just saying it casually. He didn’t really believe that a Soul Pet with continuous Mutations existed in this world. After all, a Race Mutation was already very rare. Continuous Race Mutations… that was almost like having a super Soul Pet whose Race level could be improved without limit.
However, this casual remark made Chu Mu suddenly realize a very important problem: the other two Red Cloud Foxes and the Blue Star Fox he saw earlier, they all had a silver moon mark on their foreheads!
“The book on Soul Pet Mutations mentioned that a Soul Pet that undergoes a Race Mutation would definitely have a mark of its most original race somewhere on its body.”
Chu Mu’s expression had already changed, from casual to serious, and gradually showed a bit of astonishment!
“A Mu…Mutation Soul Pet, and… and it’s a continuous Mutation! It’s a Soul Pet with continuous Mutations!”
Chu Mu remembered that when he first saw the Red Cloud Fox, its tail had signs of an injury. To confirm his guess, Chu Mu hurriedly grabbed the Little Fox’s tail and parted its fur.
A shallow scar! Chu Mu stood frozen in place, looking at this wound appearing in the same spot with some disbelief himself.
“A continuous Mutation Soul Pet… it really is a continuous Mutation Soul Pet… Am I not dreaming…”
At this moment, Chu Mu’s heart boiled, and he even felt a surge of heat throughout his body!
For most Soul Pets, being able to Mutate once was already a luxury. Yet he, without meaning to, had encountered a Soul Pet with continuous Mutations. This was a priceless treasure!
A Soul Pet capable of continuous Mutations possessed limitless potential and unlimited room for strength improvement!
The Thorn Demon was low-level and had the weakest potential. The Manxi Lizard was mid-level and had higher potential than the Thorn Demon.
The Azure Bird was high-level, and its potential was even above the Manxi Lizard!
Just by having a Manxi Lizard, there was hope of getting into the top ten. And obtaining an Azure Bird would absolutely sweep away all opponents, all because the Azure Bird was a high-level Soul Pet.
However, the Moonlight Fox that Chu Mu obtained now had Mutated from low-level to mid-level. If it Mutated to high-level, its potential would be the same as the Azure Bird’s, and Chu Mu could absolutely get first place!
Not only that, if it Mutated again, Mutated above high-level, Chu Mu could even deal with those Stewards in the future!
“Heaven hasn’t cut off all roads, heaven hasn’t cut off all roads, hahaha, I, Chu Mu, could also encounter such a Soul Pet that can be called a rare treasure, hahaha!”
Chu Mu laughed. It had been who knows how long since he had laughed so heartily as he did today!
“A Mutation Soul Pet, a Soul Pet with continuous Mutations, hahahahaha!”
Laughing and laughing, Chu Mu actually felt his eyes welling up with hot tears!
Scalding tears fell on his cheeks.
For the past year, Chu Mu felt incredibly lost inside, because from beginning to end, his life hung from the fingertips of others. With just a slight flick of a finger, he would face the cruelest death.
Everyone on the island struggled on the edge of life and death, but Chu Mu had already stepped through the gates of hell. The evil ghost inside his body was constantly growing!
Chu Mu knew that his time of death was approaching!
For others, facing death required courage, but for Chu Mu, living required even greater courage, far more than just courage!
Forced into a corner, he had only one way out: to face death and then survive.
Breaking into the perilous Inner Island was also the only method Chu Mu decided on after resolving to live!
Sure enough, in a dangerous place, Chu Mu obtained the greatest hope for life!
This was a Soul Pet capable of continuous Mutations! With careful nurturing, it could absolutely gallop across this world!
…
Chu Mu wiped the corners of his eyes. It took a long time for the surging emotions in his heart to gradually calm down.
Chu Mu also knew that now was not the time for joy. Even if he possessed a Soul Pet capable of continuous Mutations, he needed to nurture it step by step. After all, it was still a first-stage newborn infant. Chu Mu had to make it grow stronger and stronger, so it wouldn’t be killed by others before it could even Mutate.
The first thing to do was to sign a Soul Pact with this Soul Pet.
Chu Mu looked into the Little Fox’s eyes. He found that this little fellow, even though completely restrained by the white silk, was still trying to break free. From the Little Moonlight Fox’s eyes, Chu Mu saw its unwillingness and tenacity!
No matter what emotions the Moonlight Fox had, Chu Mu was absolutely determined to capture this Soul Pet!
Chu Mu closed his eyes. He began using his Soul as a guide, urging his body’s Soul Power, and activating the power of the Soul Pact!
“Fourth Soul Pact, activate!”
A pale blue special ring of light appeared between Chu Mu’s hands, flowing with beautiful, dazzling luster.
Chu Mu gently pressed his palm onto the Moonlight Fox. The pale blue ring of light immediately encircled the Moonlight Fox.
The Moonlight Fox clearly showed some fear and began struggling frantically.
The Soul Pact light ring still flowed with radiance, but as the Moonlight Fox struggled, the pale blue Soul Pact ring grew dimmer.
Finally, the pale blue Soul Pact ring disappeared.
The disappearance of the pale blue ring meant the Soul Pact attempt was not successful this time. The Soul Pet still held a very strong resistance, completely unwilling to accept Chu Mu’s Soul Pact.
Chu Mu also knew that the possibility of succeeding on the first try wasn’t high. Fortunately, during this time, the White Nightmare Devil was sleeping. The Soul Power within Chu Mu’s body was very full, enough to use the Soul Pact ten times.
Chu Mu continued using his Soul as a guide, consuming his body’s Soul Power, and released the pale blue Soul Pact ring again.
The light ring coiled around the Moonlight Fox’s body. Stimulated by this Soul, the Moonlight Fox immediately showed signs of pain and anger, struggling wildly once more. Before long, the pale blue Soul Pact ring disappeared again.
Chu Mu certainly would not give up easily. He continued exerting the power of the Soul Pact.
For six consecutive Soul Pact capture attempts, Chu Mu was unable to successfully take in the Soul Pet.
On the seventh time, Chu Mu didn’t immediately attempt the Soul Pact. Instead, he looked at the stubborn Moonlight Fox and spoke: “Little guy, I know you don’t want to be controlled by others. But you are too weak right now. Surviving on this island will be very difficult for you. You are also very likely to be killed at an extremely young stage. You don’t want to end that way, do you? You desire to become a powerful being, and I am the one who can make you stand at the very peak of this world!”
“Accept my Soul Pact!”
Chu Mu spoke very seriously, because he also believed that Soul Pets could understand human language.
After saying this, Chu Mu initiated the seventh Soul Pact attempt. He pressed his palm onto the Moonlight Fox’s body, surrounding it once again with the pale blue ring of light.
