Pet Soul Charm

Chapter 22: The Nine Flametail Stage

Thick blood splattered on the grass. The metallic scent was spread by the rampant wind, piercing through the dense forest.

Mo Xie stuck out his claws while watching the two corpses, and simply licked his claws to clean them up.

Chu Mu walked out from the surroundings, and stared attentively at the dazed Stone Monster.

If the Soul Pet Trainer dies, the Soul Pact with the Soul Pet will become void. The Stone Monster was free from Ma Zhi's control, so the previous orders given to him were naturally also canceled.

“Huuu, huo..

The Stone Monster stood there with a blank look, rubbing his head sillyly. After some futile wandering, it finally saw Mo Xie, but the cold gaze radiating from it caused the Stone Monster to start panicking. It quickly fled into the dense forest with huge strides.

Soul Pet and its trainer are limited by Soul Pacts, meaning Soul Pet Trainers can command their Soul Pet to do anything. Once this pact is lost, the Soul Pet can then regain their freedom. Without a telepathic connection with their coach, they will lose the special attention they have for their coach.

However, usually, once the Soul Pet has been with their coach for a long time, some feelings are formed. If the coach was killed, a Soul Pet without a trainer would most likely take revenge on the killer. The fact that this Stone Monster escaped meant that he had no emotional ties to Ma Zhi.

“You didn't spend too much energy, did you?” Chu Mu walked towards Mo Xie and asked.

“Wuwu~~” Mo Xie's eyes showed gentleness once again, but he still looked full of fighting spirit.

“Rest in space for a while. Once there is a battle, I will call you again.” Chu Mu said. Mo Xie only used about 20% of his energy. Although it shouldn't have affected his condition too much, they were fighting against a powerful enemy, so it was better to be in the best condition.

Chu Mu then sent Mo Xie back to the Soul Pet room. Climbing up to the tree, he brought the cyan insect down and fed some rations to it. “You also deserve this.”

"Shashasha" The little cyan insect happily wriggled, chewing on the rations Chu Mu gave it.

Carrying a special little insect, Chu Mu continued to walk deeper into the forest, where the forest was busier. Chu Mu remembered that the inner island passed through a small patch of deciduous trees.

Now, Chu Mu had already entered the deciduous forest. The sound of the crackling of the fallen leaves was very sharp in the silent forest.

Chu Mu did not dare to walk too fast. After all, the opponent also had Soul Pets. If the opponent had an extremely sensitive Soul Pet, he would be easy to find.

Chu Mu suddenly stopped, and stared intently at the deciduous tree further away. "Check first, I think I heard some noise." He spoke to the small insect on his shoulder.

The little insect was extremely smart, and was able to comprehend Chu Mu. With a small reflection, he shot himself into a branch and then disappeared into the foliage.

Chu Mu slowly advanced. After another hundred meters, through the thinning branches, Chu Mu saw Luo Chen in white clothes.

After a while, little scout Chu Mu returned. Signalling with extremely interesting body language, he told Chu Mu that there were three people and four Pet Souls in front. Two people and their Soul Pets were fighting with the other Soul Pets, while the third person and his Soul Pets were only harassing from the side.

“It looks like Zhou Shengmo and others are fighting against a ninth stage Soul Pet. The one who did not fight was probably Luo Chen. I must get rid of it first.” thought Chu Mu.

Zhou Shengmo had many people. Chu Mu would have a greater chance of success if he attacked them one by one.

Chu Mu walked closer. As he had imagined, Hunting Wolf Zhou Shenmo was fighting against stage nine Flametail.

“This is Tang Xian! It seems like this battle will be difficult. But that flametail seems pretty strong ... "Chu Mu muttered to himself.

Flametail is classified as Beast World – Demon Type – Flametail Species and has a High species rating. It had a flaming tail, with a body shaped like a ferocious hunting dog. One can then deduce the Flametail stage from the color and depth of the flame.

The Flametail species rank was not inferior to the Hunting Wolves, so if Zhou Shenmo's Hunting Wolves were only at stage eight, it would be difficult for him to win. No wonder he was partnered with Tang Xian and his eighth stage Steel Tooth.

The battle was extremely intense because stage nine Flametail was extremely powerful. No matter his speed, strength, or defense, it was all better than Zhou Shenmo's Hunting Wolf and Tang Xian's Steel Tooth. Coupled with the ability to use fire magic, Zhou Shenmo and Tang Xian would need time to defeat Flametail.

Luo Chen's Soul Pet was a Wood Demoness, so he didn't fight. The enemy to most of the Soul Pets of the Plant World is fire-type organisms. If his Wood Demoness caught the sparks of Flametail, he would lose the ability to fight.

"What a sound is that!!" Zhou Shenmo said. As the Seventh Reminder Soul Pet Trainer, he had a clear awareness stronger than the others.

“Votes? You sure it wasn't a misperception?” Tang Xian was clearly focused on the troublesome Flametail, unaware of other things.

"I heard footsteps." Zhou Shenmo said.

“Aduh!”

Flametail let out a roar and swiped its tail to create a brilliant ring of fire. The ring of fire quickly lit up the nearby plants, creating a wall of fire and separating the Hunting Wolves and Steel Teeth.

“Don't let him escape!” Zhou Shenmo shouted. He then glanced at Luo Chen and said, "You remain wary of the surroundings, there is something abnormal nearby."

“Sousou”

Graceful footsteps rang out in the dry foliage, darting rapidly from the branches!

Mo Xie appeared beside Luo Chen in a split second, his claws glittering with danger!

"Huh, you want to sneak attack me?" Luo Chen laughed coldly, but closed his eyes.

As Luo Chen closed his eyes, the Wood Demon reached out his old hand-like branch, and protected Luo Chen.

“Shu!!”

Mo Xie's claws passed through it, leaving deep claw marks on the branches, almost breaking it in half!

Luo Chen stared blankly at the deep mark and started sweating profusely! If those claws penetrated a little deeper, then they would slice his throat!

"Who is this!!" Luo Chen shouted furiously. Although he had already expected a sneak attack, he had not expected that the slightest underestimation of the enemy was close to taking his life!

Chu Mu stopped hiding and walked out of the trees, his eyes staring coldly at the enraged Luo Chen.

Mo Xie had returned to Chu Mu's side. Man and fox. They stood quietly in the shadows of the trees, painting a strange and almost demonic image.
