Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Growth, Second-Rank Moonlight Fox
Translator: 549690339
Thorn Demons are relatively common soul pets, and Chu Mu could say that he knew everything about them.
Previously, Chu Mu had already determined that this Thorn Demon should only have Second-Rank strength, and it only possessed one vine. The length of the vine for a Thorn Demon of this strength would be around fifteen to twenty meters. Judging from the current elasticity of the vine, it should still be able to extend half of the distance outward.
So, this would mean that the main body of the Thorn Demon should be within ten meters of Little MO Xie.
While Chu Mu was searching for the body of the Thorn Demon, he suddenly noticed the vine contracting rapidly.
“Vine Slash!” Chu Mu’s mind suddenly conjured the powerful attack skill of the Thorn Demon. If the power of this Vine Slash hit Little MO Xie directly, her fragile body would definitely be severely injured.
Chu Mu immediately glanced at MO Xie. As for what skills MO Xie had, Chu Mu didn’t know for the time being. Seeing that the powerful Vine Slash was about to fall, he was also secretly anxious in his heart!
“MO Xie, dodge quickly!”
“Whoosh!!!” The speed of the vine suddenly increased, slamming down abruptly!
Little MO Xie had already prepared at Chu Mu’s warning, and just as the Vine Slash fell, her delicate figure, under the illumination of the silvery-white moonlight, suddenly produced two vague shadows!
“Slap!
The Vine Slash suddenly landed on Little MO Xie’s two blurry shadows.
Suddenly, dust flew up, and shattered stones splattered all over, and the entire thorn forest was broken!
Chu Mu’s heart tightened, as the power of this Vine Slash was surprisingly astonishing. If it were to hit him, he would probably be ripped apart.
However, what Chu Mu was more concerned about was Little MO Xie’s condition.
Only a few strands of silvery-white moonlight penetrated the Thorn Forest and fell in the midst of it, with one directly at the position where the Vine Slash landed.
In the moonlight, some turbid sand and gravel floated about. As the turbidity slowly dissipated, the two delicate and blurred shadows slowly disappeared, revealing Little MO Xie’s delicate figure.
“Moon Shadow!!” Chu Mu looked at the little fellow who had easily dodged the Vine Slash, and his face showed surprise.
Moon Shadow is an evasive skill performed with the a.s.sistance of moonlight. MO Xie, a First-Rank Moonlight Fox, was actually able to perform this skill, which could only be used by a Third-Rank Moonlight Fox!
Previously, Chu Mu had encountered a Blue Bird that had mastered skills beyond its own rank, and he had concluded that it was a soul pet with a high innate talent.
And Little MO Xie, who had mastered higher-rank skills at such a young stage, had an extraordinary innate talent.
Sure enough, as the rumors said, every soul pet with a mutated bloodline had a terrifyingly high apt.i.tude.
When the Thorn Demon used Vine Slash, it exposed itself, and Chu Mu accurately seized this opportunity.
“Seven meters to the left, attack its main body!” Chu Mu immediately gave the order.
Little MO Xie immediately locked onto the direction. As the Thorn Demon slowly dragged the vine back, Little Fox had already turned into a silvery light, quickly darting into the dense vines!
“Crack—Crack——-
Soon, the sound of branches breaking like tree limbs came from the thorn forest, as disordered vines scattered on the ground.
Chu Mu immediately followed and as he pushed aside the thorns, he saw Little MO Xie with a broken vine dangling from its mouth. Its retractable claws had already extended, burying into a dark green vine-like soul pet’s body, pinning it under its four hooves, and proudly raising its head to cry out at the moonlight.
The Thorn Demon was a low-grade Second-Rank, with a lower race than the Moonlight Fox. Even if it was a rank higher than MO Xie, once it was discovered, it would definitely not be a match for MO Xie.
MO Xie let out another fox call as a cold moonlight shone on its body, highlighting its delicately curvy body. At this moment, its moon-colored fur grew even longer.
“It’s grown?” Yang Xiao looked at MO Xie with some surprise.
Battling is the most direct way for soul pets to grow rapidly!
And the so-called growth is the process of a weak creature gradually growing and maturing!
Soul pets and soul pets have hostility and compet.i.tion between them. In the process of fighting, they would desire to defeat each other. This desire and the tempering of their bodies during the battle would promote their growth.
As MO Xie grew from First-Rank to Second-Rank, its fur became fluffier and more colorful.
“It seems that the fur of the Moonlight Fox is completely ornamental, and its resistance probably hasn’t increased much. But after reaching the
Second-Rank, its strength should be a bit stronger now,” said Chu Mu.
“Kill it, its soul core should be enough to fill you up,” Chu Mu said to MO Xie.
With permission, MO Xie immediately tore open the Thorn Demon’s body with its claws, and extracted a soul core from within the vine-like body of the Thorn Demon. The soul core looked like a liquid, transparent like amber.
The Soul Cores of soul pets from different Worlds vary. The Soul Cores of Plant World soul pets are generally similar to liquid-like amber.
After eating it, Little MO Xie probably wouldn’t need to eat for a day or two. After jumping back into Chu Mu’s arms, it started to feel drowsy and adorable, yawning and seemingly ready to fall asleep in Chu Mu’s embrace.
After collecting the Thorn Demon’s vines, Chu Mu left the Thorn Forest carrying Little MO Xie.
After leaving the Thorn Forest, he entered the Outer Island. Chu Mu breathed a sigh of relief and found a relatively safe small cave. After blocking the entrance, he spent the night inside the cave.
The next day in the morning, Chu Mu was awakened by a slippery and wet sensation on his cheeks. When he opened his eyes, he saw the beautiful Little MO Xie licking his cheeks with its tongue, making a coquettish “woo woo” sound.
Chu Mu petted the little fellow and put it on the ground. He washed his face with the water from the cave, drank a large mouthful, and moved the stones blocking the entrance.
Sunlight shone on Chu Mu’s face, making him feel slightly blinded and burning.
“It’s almost noon already… how did we sleep till now…” said Chu Mu.
Perhaps it was because of the constant tension during the time spent in the Inner Island. After leaving that place, they had a rare peaceful sleep, not realizing they slept so late.
Chu Mu took out some dry food, took a few bites to fill his stomach, and also fed the little bug that always hid in his collar.
After receiving food, the little bug happily twisted its body, looking very joyful.
After leaving the cave, Chu Mu went straight to the camp’s location. There were also some ferocious soul pets on the island’s sh.o.r.e, but MO Xie’s alertness was high, able to sense the aura of powerful soul pets, making it easy to avoid them..
