Chapter 145: Chapter 27: Broken Forest, Forest Creatures

Qin Mengâer raised her head and saw countless black figures rushing towards her, immediately becoming scared and losing her composure.
âQuickly put away your Flame Bird,â Chu Mu said.
Qin Mengâer hurriedly jumped down and put away the Flame Bird again.
âCome on,â Chu Mu jumped onto MO Yeâs back and said to Qin Mengâer.
Feeling the cool breeze coming from above, Qin Mengâer didnât dare to hesitate and quickly jumped onto MO Yeâs back.
âWoo woo!! MO Ye seemed to dislike others sitting on it, making a dissatisfied cry.
âSheâs helping us, so just bear with it,â Chu Mu patted MO Yeâs ear, comforting it.
MO Ye was just showing a bit of a temper. After realizing that a dozen winged soul pets had already caused a storm-rushing, MO Ye suddenly started moving quickly with its flame hooves, disappearing into the gloomy nightâŠ
âMiss!!â Old Teng was dumbfounded, watching the kid take Qin Mengâer away and not knowing what to do. He didnât have a winged soul pet.
âDonât shout, youâll wake them up!â Chu Ning immediately glared at Old Teng.
However, as soon as Chu Ningâs words finished, a sharp sound came from below the cliff. Soon after, everyone could clearly feel a sharp wind like flying blades rushing up.
âWeâre in big trouble. Letâs leave here first and then enter Broken Forest from the West Forest of Gangluo City to find them. Staying here will only make us more dangerous,â an old housekeeper from the Chu Family said.
âHow can that be? My young miss is still down there,â Old Teng anxiously said. If something happened to Qin Mengâer, he wouldnât be able to bear the responsibility.
âWe canât go down from here either. Letâs go back to Gangluo City and gather people from both our families to find them in Broken Forest,â Chu Ning was relatively calm.
Chu Ning was also very thoughtful. He didnât directly mention that Young Master Chu was Chu Mu. After all, Chu Mu had barely returned alive. Chu Ning believed that Qin Mengâer wouldnât reveal it, but he didnât quite trust Old Teng, the servant.
âThatâs the only way. Letâs go to your city first,â Ting Yu couldnât think of any other way. For now, they could only go to Gangluo City and see if there was a Nightmare Demon Palace stationed location in the city and summon some experts to search for Chu Mu in Broken Forest.
The screaming sounds behind them gradually faded away. After running at an extremely fast speed, MO Ye finally shook off the large group of winged soul pets.
âThat was so closeâŠâ When they stopped to rest, Qin Mengâer patted her full chest and let out a slight sigh of relief.
âCliffs like this are heaven for winged soul pets. Flying over with other winged soul pets is the most taboo thing to doâŠâ Chu Mu told Qin Mengâer.
âI⊠I didnât knowâŠâ Qin Mengâerâs cheeks immediately flushed in embarrassment, and she said awkwardly, âSorry, I didnât help you and even caused you trouble.â
Chu Mu didnât care about such a small matter and remembered that Qin
Mengâer seemed to be just as naive before.
âDo you know how to get out of this forest?â Chu Mu asked.
âUncle Teng said that the forest connects West Forest of Gangluo City to the east, so I should be able to get to Gangluo City if I go east. However, I heard that there are many ferocious creatures in Broken Forest, and it is very dangerous,â Qin Mengâer whispered.
âThen letâs go east,â Chu Mu said.
âWhich way is east?â Qin Mengâer looked around, seeing nothing but the pitch-black forest. She couldnât tell the direction.
âJust follow me,â Chu Mu had spent a year in the infinitely complex depths of Prison Island and could easily find his way through this small Broken Forest.
Qin Mengâer could only nod and follow Chu Mu. However, it seemed to be Qin Mengâerâs first time advancing through a dark forest, and she looked quite scared.
âIf you have a soul pet that can restrain its aura, you can summon it. If not, donât summon anything, or youâll only bring bigger trouble upon yourself,â Chu Mu reminded Qin Mengâer.
Qin Mengâer was thinking about calling out her soul pet to help alleviate her growing fear, but after Chu Muâs words, she could only blink and draw closer to Chu Mtl.
âThat was your Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox earlier, right? Its speed is so fast,â Qin Mengâer whispered.
It had been very easy for Qin Mengâer to defeat Li Nan earlier, as his combat power was almost depleted from fighting Chu Ning.
Qin Mengâer also paid attention to Chu Muâs battle and was amazed at the powerful strength of his Ice-Feathered Spirit. And now, Chu Mu had summoned another soul pet even rarer than the Night Thunder Dream Beast the Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox. It seemed that the strength of the Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox was also terrifying.
âYeah,â Chu Mu just nodded, not saying more, simply continuing to walk in hopes of leaving Broken Forest and returning to Gangluo City as soon as possible.
Qin Mengâer spoke to Chu Mu out of fear, but Chu Mu seemed not to like talking, giving off a cold impression. This left Qin Mengâer unhappy and pouting her small lips.
Qin Mengâer was naturally attractive and always had many talented and charming young men around her.
Before, she was still worried about being alone with this man, thinking it might be inappropriate. However, now it seemed that she, a beautiful young woman, had absolutely no appeal in front of this man.
That being said, itâs not Chu Muâs fault for not understanding the emotions. Chu Mu was not uninterested in Qin Mengâer. On the contrary, he quite liked this little sister because of some past memories, especially now that she has grown into a graceful and enchanting beauty.
But thatâs just Chu Muâs personality. Even if he was accompanied by the high and mighty Princess Jinrou, Chu Mu would still maintain his cold demeanor, as he was used to being aloneâŠ
As they walked into the latter half of the night, Qin Mengâer grew visibly tired. Chu Mu stopped and fed all of his remaining Soul Power to the White Nightmare Demon before starting to meditate.
Throughout the entire process, Chu Mu acted alone, virtually ignoring Qin Mengâerâs existence. However, this only made Qin Mengâer think more about it. As a girl deep in the dark forest, unable to summon her Soul Pet, and having to rely on resting beneath a tree, she felt uneasy. She wanted to talk to Chu Mu, but he was like a statue, completely integrated into the forest and the dark night. Several times, Qin Mengâer even felt as if he didnât exist at all.
No matter what Qin Mengâer thought or how tormented she felt throughout the night, the dawn still slowly rose below the horizon, slowly illuminating the vast forest.
As everything came back to life, the sunlight falling on her face woke up the half-asleep Qin Mengâer, whose beautiful eyes still sparkled with a hint of bewildermentâŠ
As soon as she opened her eyes, Qin Mengâer immediately saw a handsome face, though it gave off a somewhat cold vibe, which made her subconsciously take a few steps backâŠ
âThese fruits can stave off hunger,â Chu Mu handed the fruits to Qin Mengâer and said indifferently.
Qin Mengâer blinked her eyes, slowly accepting these appetizing looking fruits, and took a small bite. With her watery eyes, she continued to look at Chu MuâŠ
âWhatâs the matter?â Chu Mu asked with confusion, looking at Qin Mengâerâs pitiful appearance.
âNothing⊠nothing⊠itâs goodâŠâ Qin Mengâer shook her head and took small bites of the delicious fruit.
âYou slept well last night, but donât drool on my shoulder next timeâŠâ Chu Mu said.
âAh? Did I lean on you⊠I⊠IâŠâ Qin Mengâerâs face turned red instantly, and she became flustered. The fruit in her hand almost fell to the ground.
Chu Mu was taken aback, glancing at the embarrassed Qin Mengâer, and then at the little MO Ye lying on his shoulder, showing a puzzled expression.
The Little MO Ye on Chu Muâs shoulder raised its small head, making a slightly embarrassed whining sound, indicating that it hadnât eaten last night and was hungry, which caused it to droolâŠ
Seeing the adorable little fox on Chu Muâs shoulder responding to him, Qin Mengâer realized that Chu Mu was talking to his pet. Her beautiful face flushed even more, looking tender and charming, wishing she could hide in a tree hole.
âThis is the Broken Forest. I remember that quite a few MO Ye dwell here. Itâs said that the MO Ye that inhabit this place are of good quality. Maybe we could stay here for a while and capture a Commander Level MO Ye,â Chu Mu said.
Qin Mengâer deliberately looked at Chu Mu to see if he was talking to her. She confirmed that he was looking at her and then spoke up, âItâs very dangerous here. If we encounter some ferocious soul pets⊠â
âYeah, indeed, itâs somewhat dangerous with you around. Weâd better not do it,â Chu Mu nodded.
Chu Mu didnât mind when he was alone, as he knew how to avoid powerful Soul
Pets. But With Qin Mengâer, there would detinitely be a lot of baggage.
Qin Mengâerâs expression stiffened again, and she thought angrily to herself that Chu Mu was such an annoying man â either he didnât talk to her at all, or when he did it was hurtful. After all, she was a Four Thoughts Soul MasterâŠ
With Qin Mengâer around, Chu Mu didnât have any intention to stay. He continued walking east, hoping to reach Gangluo City as soon as possible.
After walking for another day, they encountered some Soul Pets along the way, which Chu Mu had the Night Thunder Dream Beast deal with. The Night Thunder Dream Beast was now at the Fifth Stage Fifth Rank, and Chu Mu wanted to quickly raise it to Level 6, so it needed to be constantly tested in battle.
âWhatâs up? Why did you suddenly stop?â Qin Mengâer stopped and looked at Chu Mu, who was standing in front of her, and asked with confusion.
âThere should be a forest lake nearby,â Chu Mu said.
âForest Lake?â Qin Mengâerâs eyes brightened, knowing that with water, she could wash her face and body. She had been walking in the forest for a day or two and felt uncomfortable all over.
âMO Ye likes to live near lakes,â Chu Mu said.
âYou want to capture a MO Ye here?â Qin Mengâer asked.
Chu Mu shook his head and said, âI have high standards for my Soul Pets, and I wonât decide on one in such a short time. This amount of time isnât enough for me to make a selection.â
âThe wind blowing from this lake is from the east. In fact, as we just walked here, the wind was blowing from the north. The lake must be changing the wind direction, which means that there are some special Spirit Items in this lake that prevent ordinary wind from entering it, causing it to change direction,â Chu Mu took a deep breath and smelled the scent of the forest. Qin Mengâer looked surprised, her mouth wide open and her pretty eyes fixed on Chu Mu.
She had never imagined that a person could determine the presence of Spirit Items in a place simply by the mysterious change in wind direction!
