Chapter 1273 1137 Magic Spirit Competitors

Chapter 1273: Chapter 1137: Magic Spirit Competitors Chapter 1273: Chapter 1137: Magic Spirit Competitors The icy chill was piercing; if the Swamp Fish Demon had tried to burrow into the mud, it would definitely have smashed its head.

The Swamp Lake was constantly being shattered. The Swamp Fish Demon itself had considerable combat power, and since corpse-type creatures were not affected in their strength outbreak no matter how injured they were, its arm tentacles were still wildly flailing around, striving for a slim chance to stay alive.

“Roar!!!!!!!”

Still domineering in size, the Wanzhao Beast stamped down once more, this time savagely on the skull of the Swamp Fish Demon!

The head of the Swamp Fish Demon immediately burst open, spewing disgusting brain matter.

The upper half of the Swamp Fish Demon’s body was still twisting and struggling tenaciously. Its vitality was astonishing. Sacred light emanated from the Wanzhao Beast, with the light causing a burning effect, incinerating the remains of the corpse in an instant.

“Hehe, got the Soul Core,” said Ye Wansheng with a smirk, seeing that the Swamp Fish Demon had finally died completely. He walked over to its corpse and began searching for the Soul Core.

Corpse-type Soul Cores were rather rare, and Ye Wansheng didn’t mind getting dirty. He searched with his bare hands and soon found a Soul Core from the body of the Swamp Fish Demon.

After a brief wash, a Soul Core with a special luster appeared in the palm of Ye Wansheng’s hand.

“Give it here,” said Ye Qingzi, unceremoniously taking it from Ye Wansheng’s hand.

Lord Li had many materials Ye Qingzi needed, likely requiring 200 at the Level 1 Xuan quality exchange rate. The Swamp Fish Demon was stronger than a Quasi-Dominator, equating to 2 Level 1 Xuan quality cores.

All resources from this experience were to be channeled to Ye Qingzi since she planned to refine Dominator-level Spirit Items for everyone’s Soul Pets.

“By the way, what happened to that guy who ate who knows how much mud?” Ye Wansheng glanced at the Blood Qilin’s position and asked.

“He’s been saved; Water Moon is cleaning him up now,” said Ye Qingzi.

With the Swamp Fish Demon gone, the most dangerous entity in this lake had been dealt with, and silence fell over the lake once again. As the setting sun dipped below the horizon, everyone began looking for a safe place to rest.

The Pan Wood Spirit and Lingyin Qie laid down floral and wooden arrays. After clearing away the swamp’s stench and dampness, tents were quickly erected for resting.

Soon after nightfall, the mud-covered man whom Ye Qingzi had saved also regained his strength and changed into clean clothes.

Stepping out of the tent, he looked at the five people chatting by the campfire and several small pets holding roasted meats, curious and somewhat grateful.

“Haha, just a kid. This kid hasn’t even reached the Soul Emperor rank, what’s he doing here?” Ye Wansheng looked at the teenager and said.

Ye Wansheng was right. The boy was about fifteen years old and appeared very young and immature.

“Who are you calling a kid? Don’t talk nonsense!” The teenager’s face showed his displeasure.

“Alright, sit down and have something to eat if you’re not busy,” said Ye Qingzi, moving aside for Chu Mu. Then she handed the teenager a piece of deliciously roasted meat.

“Thank you, Sister,” the boy said with a smile, sitting down without being shy and looking around at everyone.

However, perhaps because there was still the taste of mud in his throat, the teenager didn’t have much of an appetite. Instead, he gently stroked the Blood Qilin that was crouching nearby.

“That’s not your Soul Pet, is it? Oh, what’s your name?” Chu Mu glanced at the Blood Qilin and asked.

The Blood Qilin was nearing the Dominator rank; surely, the boy, who hadn’t even reached Soul Emperor strength, couldn’t possibly command such a Soul Pet.

“It’s Uncle Peng’s Soul Pet. It usually follows me and protects me. My name is Liao Yu,” the boy said.

“So, Liao Yu, what are you doing here? This isn’t a place you can come to at this point,” Ye Qingzi said.

“I came to find a Demon Spirit,” Liao Yu replied directly, seemingly without guile.

Ye Wansheng burst out laughing and clapped the boy’s frail shoulder, saying, “You almost died in the mud, and you’re still looking for a Demon Spirit. Stop joking!”

“I am here to find a Demon Spirit, and I will bring one back!” Liao Yu knocked Ye Wansheng’s hand away, saying unhappily.

“Are you looking to enhance your strength using a Demon Spirit?” Chu Mu inquired.

Shaking his head, the boy replied, “No, I need it to save someone.”

“Ah, so it’s for a rescue. Is it your girlfriend whose soul is injured?” Ye Wansheng teased.

Upon hearing Ye Wansheng’s words, the teenager Liao Yu widened his eyes in astonishment and said, “You… how do you know? But she’s not my little sweetheart, she’s more like an older sister. She’s the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen, yet I don’t know what kind of illness she has, her complexion is always pale, and she’s always in a deep sleep.”

“…” Ye Wansheng had mentioned it casually and didn’t expect to guess correctly on the first try.

“Kid, better go back to where you belong. Don’t even look at how weak you are, wandering around everywhere. Your parents are going to punish you for this,” Ye Wansheng said.

“I can’t. I have to find the Magic Spirit. Uncle Peng said that without the Magic Spirit, it will be difficult for her to wake up!” Liao Yu spoke with grave determination.

Not even reaching the Soul Emperor level, this teenager had ventured into the fearsome Guangtong Lost Realm with someone else’s Soul Pet in search of a Magic Spirit that was unlikely to be found. It was hard to tell if he should be described as courageous or simply too naive.

“Chu Mu, you decide what to do with this kid. Bringing him along would definitely be a burden,” Ye Wansheng stated.

Chu Mu glanced at Liao Yu and said indifferently, “You should already understand that this place isn’t suitable for you. We’ve saved you once, what you choose to do next is none of our business.”

“I… don’t you plan to take me with you? I have a Blood Qilin Beast that’s close to Dominator level; I can offer some help. Also, I didn’t come here alone; I was following a group, but I accidentally lost them. Are you also here for the Magic Spirits? There’s definitely more than one Magic Spirit. I have a map with accurate information. If I lead you to them, I only want one Magic Spirit, the rest are all yours!” Liao Yu said in a flurry.

The near-death experience in the mire had instilled a deep fear of the swamp in Liao Yu, yet he couldn’t bear the thought of giving up just like that.

He possessed a map with the precise location of the Magic Spirit, which was why he dared to come here in the first place.

Chu Mu shook his head with a wry smile. This kid truly lacked any experience in handling situations, to be saying things like this — a slightly malicious person would simply take the map straight from his hands.

But then again, they had saved the kid’s life, so it made sense that he would trust them subconsciously.

“What do you think, Chu Mu? Should we take him?” Ye Qingzi asked.

“Then let’s take him. He has a Soul Pet that can protect him; we don’t need to worry about him,” Chu Mu said.

Lord Li had provided very limited information, and they had managed to shake off those two uncomfortable fellows, Jia Heng and Li Qin, so they did indeed need someone to guide them properly.

“You just said you came with a team?” Crown Prince asked.

“Yes, they are Commander Wu Zhenjiang’s men, a group of powerful Boundary Generals. It seems they also know the exact location where the Magic Spirit appears and are determined to obtain it. If Mo Ling encounters them, it’s impossible for me to get my hands on a Magic Spirit,” Liao Yu said.

The position of a Boundary Commander is extremely prestigious, almost close to the Lord of a Level Seven Territory.

“Seems like our competitors are not lacking in strength.” Chu Mu could guess that an Emperor-level Demon Spirit could already be exchanged for Level 3 Xuan Objects. Such a Magic Spirit was definitely a treasure, and there would inevitably be contestants. Lord Li had also warned them to avoid certain powerful individuals.

“Liao Yu, you previously mentioned that sick beauty, she must be quite beautiful, right? Otherwise, why would you be so infatuated as to come here? Could she be even more beautiful than these two ladies?” Ye Wansheng asked lightheartedly, raising an irrelevant question with a raised eyebrow.

As expected of a teenager, Liao Yu immediately showed a shy expression and muttered, “Both older sisters are very beautiful, but…”

“Haha, but… you dare to say ‘but,’ are you not afraid they’ll throw you back into the mire?” Ye Wansheng burst into laughter.

Liao Yu realized he had said something wrong and quickly shut his mouth, looking anxiously at Ye Qingzi and Mu Qingyi.

Ye Qingzi and Mu Qingyi didn’t need validation from a young boy. Rather, they found Ye Wansheng quite boring.

“Come on, Chu Mu, summon your little servant. Let this kid see what a peerless beauty looks like,” Ye Wansheng suggested to Chu Mu with a wiggle of his eyebrows.

“Impossible, there’s no way this World could find anyone prettier than her!” Liao Yu was however unyielding, his demeanor resembling that of a stubborn child.

Comparing beauty, both Ye Qingzi and Crown Prince felt there’s likely no one in this World more beautiful than Empress Yu Suo—her appeal was indeed unparalleled.

So both remained silent, their gaze turning to Chu Mu.

Chu Mu wouldn’t indulge in such trivialities. Yu Suo was a monster; even without using her skills, her racial Temptation could enthrall anyone.

Chu Mu was well aware that Ye Wansheng and Crown Prince stood no chance against it. They had previously suggested he summon her and even pitifully asked him to lower the temperature of his Flame.

It wasn’t Ye Wansheng and Crown Prince’s fault for lacking resolve; the benevolent side of Yu Suo truly made it easy for others to feel sympathy for her, and then unknowingly overlook her malevolent side.

Chu Mu had long established a guard against this woman and thus could treat all her Temptation like air. If someone else had such a fairy-like creature, they’d likely become mentally compromised within days, becoming a slave to the Good and Evil Queen.

Seeing that Chu Mu had no intention of summoning Yu Suo, Ye Wansheng pouted and, finding it dull, decisively went to sleep in his tent to be well-rested for capturing more Magic Spirits. (.)
