Chapter 432: Chapter 308: Breaking the Cauldrons and Sinking the Boats, Entering the Valley

Translator: 549690339

Monarch-level young pets are different from those at servant and warrior levels. The probability of encountering such soul pets in desolate areas is not high, and even if one does encounter them, one has to weigh whether they have the strength to capture them. After all, young pets generally have “guards” protecting them. Even if they aren’t their parents, they could be some of the powerful soul pets within their parents’ territory.

Most servant-level soul pets are wanderers. The number of servant-level soul pets is extremely huge, forming a massive foundational structure at the bottom of the Soul Pets World. Most servant-level soul pets choose to reside within a certain territory, following the orders of stronger soul pets.

Servant-level soul pets often die, but their reproduction rate is far greater than the proportion of their combat power compared to higher-level soul pets.

When warrior-level soul pets reach a certain stage, they tend to occupy suitable environments like caves, mountain ranges, valleys, lakes, cliffs, and small forests as their territories. As long as they are not threatened by others, they can live comfortably.

The territories of commander-level soul pets are very clear. A mature commander-level soul pet without its own territory is considered extremely unfortunate and without prospects in the Soul Pet Field.

The territories of commander-level soul pets are usually made up of many small territories of warrior-level soul pets, forming an area similar to a jungle, valley, water body, mountain, or plain. Commander-level young pets almost always move within their parents’ territories before they truly mature and can become independent, effectively avoiding the probability of accidental early death.

The territories of monarch-level soul pets are even more evident. Although you might occasionally see wandering, unprotected young soul pets of commander-level, it’s almost impossible for this to happen with monarch-level young pets.

Each monarch-level young pet is closely protected by the previous generation. Additionally, the territory of monarch-level pets is extremely vast and heavily guarded, making it easy for other soul pets and humans entering their territory to come under attack.

Each level of soul pet has a certain level of obstruction, and the higher the level, the greater the obstruction. Therefore, to become a qualified hunter, one needs to have very high qualifications. Otherwise, they might die in these soul pets’ territories even before they catch a glimpse of the young pets they want to capture.

“There should be four narrow paths leading to the lake in the valley. Each of these narrow paths is inhabited by a commander-level soul pet, including an attack-oriented Sword Sting at the eighth rank, advanced stage, a Western Armored Death Scorpion known for its poison at the eighth middle stage, a Giant Pupa Silver Sky Cattle with defense power like iron at the eighth advanced stage, and a Star Phoenix battle insect with relatively average attributes at a ninth rank lower stage.”

The Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird that Chu Mu saw lived near the lake inside a valley. There are narrow paths around the valley leading to various mountain ranges. These narrow paths can be said to form a natural protection for the valley, tightly safeguarding the lake within the valley. Now, Chu Mu must lead his soul pets through one of these narrow paths teeming with soul pets, then deal with the guards guarding the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird and finally capture the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird.

This territory is very broad. Despite the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird’s parents not living here, with such a heavily guarded territory, it would be difficult to find a breakthrough without proper planning. Chu Mu took several days of observation before finally discovering these four narrow paths that are most likely to lead into the lake within the valley.

Now, Chu Mu needs to decide which narrow path offers the greatest chance of success. This is a long journey that involves extensive fighting. Chu Mu’s greatest concern is that his soul pets might not have enough stamina to withstand such strenuous combat.

Chu Mu currently only had about 50% of his soul power. This 50% meant that, without using any soul skills, Chu Mu could only switch soul pets five times.

However, the possibility of not using soul skills was slim because there would be many unexpected situations in combat. These unexpected situations and uncertainties needed to be controlled by the Soul Pet Master’s soul skills, otherwise if the soul pet was seriously injured or died, the losses would be even greater.

So Chu Mu estimated that he could only switch soul pets three to four times in this battle. To enter the lake in the valley and defeat the two ninth-rank lower-stage commanders of the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird, Chu Mu had to think clearly about how to deploy his soul pets.

“Hehe” the White Demon was the first to voice his opinion, suggesting to take the narrow path inhabited by the nine-stage Star Phoenix battle insects.

Chu Mu decisively ignored the White Demon’s deliberate disturbance and began to choose his path according to his soul pets’ attributes and advantages.

“Those with strong poison are difficult for us to deal with. If poisoned, it would be troublesome. The defensively-strong is too energy-consuming, so let’s choose the Sword Stings. Although the Sword Stings and the soul pets under them are aggressive, as long as we are careful, we can pass successfully. Who should deal with the Sword Stings and those battle insects?” Chu Mu was stroking his chin.

“Oh” The Demon Tree Warrior decisively raised his hand indicating. Apart from the eighth-rank high-stage Sword Sting in the narrow path, there was a large swarm of insect-type soul pet groups, numbering in the hundreds to thousands. Indeed, it required a soul pet that could withstand them.

“Yes, you must take part.” Chu Mu nodded. In a mob fight, wood element soul pets had a significant advantage. If there were no wood element soul pets, he estimated that he would exhaust all his combat abilities while treading this narrow path.

“Roar” Zhan Ye quickly raised its paw to sign up. It had good physical strength, high endurance, high resistance, and sharply increased combat power. In such a mob fight, it could indeed bring out its considerable advantages. Chu Mu also believed that it was necessary for it to take to the field.

Another choice made Chu Mu a bit perplexed for a time, not knowing which would be better for the stage.

“Mo Ye, it’s up to you. You deal with that high-ranked Sword Sting, and then save some strength.” Chu Mu said.

“Woo woo woo” Mo Ye was also very willing, looking like it wanted to have a good fight.

After discussing, Chu Mu has roughly determined his plan. He would let the Demon Tree Warrior, Zhan Ye and Ghost Dome King fight first, make it to the end of the narrow path, encounter the eight-stage high-rank Sword Sting, switch the Ghost Dome King with Mo Ye and let Mo Ye join the battle to handle the high-rank Sword Sting, thereby advancing to the valley’s lake. Lastly, he would let the Night Thunder Dream Beast, which has stronger restraint, the strongest White Nightmare Demon and Mo Ye, the three soul pets, to deal with the two nine-stage Star Phoenix battle insects.

After the meeting was over, Chu Mu fed the remaining Soul Cores to his Soul Pets and gave them a break after delivering a resolute pep talk, then he peacefully went to sleep.

As the morning sun shone through the dense leaves falling onto Chu Mu’s face, he opened his eyes, took a fresh breath and washed his face with dew.

“Somebody?”

Suddenly, the keen senses of Chu Mu picked up some noises. Through the gaps between tree branches, Chu Mu unexpectedly discovered several figures slowly approaching his location.

Chu Mu had just woken up and had not intentionally concealed his presence, so he was sure the other party must have detected him too.

Chu Mu didn’t hide either, he just watched as these people gradually approached, maintaining some vigilance at the same time.

“Hey, it’s hard to see other people in these primitive areas. What’s your name, friend? We are hunters from Dun City. I’m the team leader, Da Kun. These are Zhang Ying, Qin River, Wang Ji, Yu Sui…”

The man who called himself the team leader looked about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He had a decent appearance, and his smile made him feel very amiable and easy to approach, which was likely the type that was good at interacting with people.

The age of the other few people was close to that of the team leader, they should all also be part of the young generation. That being said, if this team could break into an area near Monarch-level Soul Pet Territory, they must naturally be quite powerful.

Chu Mu, who had been living in a strong environment, could definitely say that these five people were not ordinary.

“Chu Chen, are you looking to enter the valley?” Asked Chu Mu.

“Indeed, and you too, right? But you’re alone, aren’t you afraid of accidents? Why don’t you come with us? We’ll share the benefits equally. You get one-sixth. ” Datedun, the team leader, also said this very straightly.

In order to make Chu Mu believe that they were a team with a good reputation, DaKun even deliberately showed his internal member sign of the hunter’s association.

Soul Pet Masters may encounter other Soul Pet Masters during their extramural practice and may join them. At this time, both parties have to consider whether the other party is evil.

So credibility becomes more critical in the interaction between the strong. The association of strangers is often attested by authoritative forces, such as the hunter’s sign in Dakun’s hand, which is sufficient to indicate that he is an internal member of the hunter association. If something goes wrong, the association will absolutely bear the aftermath of this incident and investigate it deeply….

Having identity guarantees, the strangers’ association is safer.

“Which route do you plan to take?” Chu Mu did not beat around the bush, these people must be headed for the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird. If it’s good to team up with them, Chu Mu needs not take such a huge risk going alone.

“The third one, the Narrow Path of the Pupa Tribe, the safety factor of this road is relatively high,” said Dakun

“Then forget it.” Chu Mu shook his head, dismissing the idea of teaming up.

“Alright, we won’t force it. Good luck then,” Dakun didn’t insist, he looked at Chu Mu with a smile.

Chu Mu didn’t talk excessively with them, he just went along the mountain forest towards the route he was planning to take.

After Chu Mu left, the members of the hunter association naturally began to whisper and speculate.

The first to express her opinion was the female member of the team, Yu Sui, her intelligent, sharp eyes stared at the direction Chu Mu had left, she opened her mouth:” The one called Chu Chen, is he planning to go in alone?”

“That’s impossible, right? I think his main goal is probably to get something on the narrow path.

If we were to take the same route as him, he would choose to team up with us. If not, he would go alone. He probably knows his abilities and has no illusions about what’s in the valley.” Zhang Ying said with a smile.
