“Zeng Linshan, go with them and try not to make any mistakes.” Qing Li’s gaze fell on a youth dressed in blue and white.

“Me?” The young man named Zeng Linshan looked troubled, but after Qing Li glared at him, he didn’t dare say anything and could only nod his head.

In this situation, Yu Lang couldn’t say much, so he apologized to Chu Mu with a smile: “Brother Chu Mu, you can go into the cave and take a look. If you encounter any danger, retreat immediately. There’s no need to push yourself.”

Since Chu Mu’s own status was false, no one would believe it if he told them, so he naturally followed their arrangements.

“Leave tomorrow morning. It’s not safe at night.” Feng Ya said.

“No need.” Chu Mu declined Feng Ya’s offer, asked Zeng Linshan to lead the way, and went straight to the mid-mountain cave of the Sky Crystal Peak with Ye Qingzi.

Once you enter the range of the Sky Crystal Peak, you can clearly see some wild soul pets wandering around. Most of them were looking for the rare crystal stones in the mountains as their food or hunting each other to acquire their opponent’s soul core, soul crystals.

The night in Colorful Dome Mountain was not that deep; starlight and moonlight would create shadows when reflected on various rocks, and occasionally a jewel-like luster would flicker from time to time.

“Chu Mu, I always feel something’s weird.” Ye Qingzi glanced at Zeng Linshan, who was leading the way in front, and spoke to Chu Mu through soul sense.

“Yes, their attitude is strange, as if they don’t care much about you and Ye Wansheng’s affairs. Their eyes are evasive, as if they are hiding something.” Chu Mu nodded. He had been paying attention to their words and actions during the conversation just now.

“Could it be that there’s something special inside this Sky Crystal Mountain? I feel that Qing Li’s eyes changed when he saw the two of us outsiders.” Ye Qingzi asked.

“It’s hard to say. Right now, we can only play it by ear.” Chu Mu replied.

Ye Qingzi nodded and didn’t say anything, purposely raising her head to look at the steep mountain peak…

Wild soul pets that appeared on the way were dealt with by Zeng Linshan. Zeng Linshan was also a young expert from the Elemental Sect. He controlled a Seventh Stage spotted demon tiger. According to the records in the book about the spotted demon tiger, the denser the spots on the demon tiger, the stronger the power talent. Zeng Linshan’s spotted demon tiger must be extraordinary.

“Do you have any Ice or Water Element soul pets? The outer layer of the cave is wrapped in fire attribute rocks, and there’s a stretch of habitat with fire element soul pets. These fire element soul pets are not easy to deal with.” After Zeng Linshan retracted his spotted demon tiger, he spoke up.

Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi both nodded. Chu Mu had the Ice-Feathered Spirit, which had a good advantage in dealing with fire element soul pets; Ye Qingzi had an Eighth Rank Water Moon, which was enough to handle many emergencies.

Although it was said to be a mid-mountain position, it was actually just passing through the slightly flat area and reaching the very bottom of the towering mountain peak. The cave at this position should be tamed by the lord of Sky Crystal Peak and guarded by the group of soul pets to protect the Sky Crystal Mountain.

The cave was extremely large, as if it had been carved out of the mountainside. As Zeng Linshan had said, the cave was made of fire attribute rocks, and a heat wave could be felt as soon as they approached the cave entrance.

The side walls of the cave were red, and it was impossible to see the innermost part of the cave. Due to the tapering stalactites at the front half of the cave linking slowly up and down, it looked like a row of sharp teeth, making the entire cave seem like a ferocious monster’s throat, giving an eerie feeling.

“Summon your soul pets.” Zeng Linshan said.

After saying that, Zeng Linshan recited a spell, and frost swirled around, slowly spreading outwards, gradually forming an icy summoning pattern.

In the pattern, the icy cold aura became even stronger. As the ice crystals were embellished, a transparent and beautiful soul pet slowly appeared, which was none other than a Seventh Rank 5th Stage Ice-Feathered Spirit!

In the elemental soul pet world, elemental spirit clan soul pets were the main ones. As Chu Mu encountered more people, he found that more and more people controlled the same soul pets as him.

After Zeng Linshan finished summoning, Chu Mu also recited a spell, summoning Ning, who had just completed strengthening, to his side.

Ning was still in the process of absorbing the Ice Snow Fruit, and its icy aura was clearly converging within its body. When Chu Mu summoned it, its aura was significantly weaker than Zeng Linshan’s Seventh Rank 5th Stage Ice-Feathered Spirit.

Once Soul Pet Masters summoned the same soul pets, they would naturally make comparisons. When Zeng Linshan saw Chu Mu summon a weaker Sixth Rank Ninth Stage Ice-Feathered Spirit, he had an odd smile on his face, and said in a weird tone: “Aren’t you a subordinate of the Soul Hall Young Master? Why does your Ice element soul pet only have such a weak Ice-Feathered Spirit? Compared to mine, it’s like the difference between a three-year-old child and an adult.”

Chu Mu just curled the corner of his mouth and ignored the teasing of this fellow.

If Ning hadn’t finished digesting the Ice Snow Fruit yet, even at the Sixth Rank Ninth Stage, Ning’s aura would definitely be much stronger than his Seventh Rank 5th Stage Ice-Feathered Spirit. After all, the value of Xuan Crystal Soul Orb and Ice Snow Fruit were 25 million. Such a luxurious strengthening was not something anyone could achieve, especially on a war general level soul pet.

Seeing that Chu Mu didn’t speak, Zeng Linshan naturally thought that Chu Mu was a bit ashamed of himself, and laughed triumphantly, instructing his Ice-Feathered Spirit to move forward.

“My Ice-Feathered Spirit has a defense level of 7th Mid-Stage. Recently, it mastered Xuan Crystal Ice Crystal. If I add an Ice Attached skill to it, it could cause Eighth level destructive power of the Ice Element. Your Ice-Feathered Spirit should be considered very good if it can reach the Seventh Stage, right?” Zeng Linshan asked.

The identity of the Soul Hall’s Young Master is a lofty one, but both the Second and Fourth Young Master are not super-strong beings in the soul pet world, which is well known to everyone. Zeng Linshan can now confirm that Chu Mu must be a subordinate of either the Second or Fourth Young Master.

Zeng Linshan is young and vigorous, and dislikes those who rely on the forces behind them to obtain top-grade soul pets. Today, encountering a subordinate of a young master who also has a position and status, he naturally wants to teach these people who occupy high resources but are incapable of understanding that it’s not enough to just have a background to become strong.

Ye Qingzi wouldn’t say much, and directly summoned her Eighth Rank Water Moon. As soon as the Water Moon appeared, it immediately gave Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi a Water Curtain Battle Armor.

“No need, my Ice Armor has better defense.” When Ye Qingzi was about to give Zeng Linshan a water-based defense, he refused, and let his Ice-Feathered Spirit apply Ice Armor to him.

The defense effect of Ice Armor is indeed better than Water Curtain Battle Armor, but Ice Armor is too heavy, and will cause some inconvenience to soul pet trainers’ movements. In battles with beast soul pets where speed holds an advantage, it would be more sensible to use Water Curtain Battle Armor.

Heading deeper, the heat wave can be clearly felt, and red rock crevices can occasionally be seen with fire sparks shooting out.

These fire sparks are formed from special elemental materials. After a period of elemental aura absorption, they can possibly give birth to some small elemental beings like Fire Spirits and Flame Spirits. Many elemental soul pets are also mostly born from this.

As they walked deeper, Chu Mu could clearly sense the presence of several fire element soul pets on the cave lateral walls.

“Three Fire Spirits, one each, let’s deal with them.” Zeng Linshan discovered them later than Chu Mu, but he took on the role of a leader and commanded them.

On the vast cave side, three flames like candlelight burned on the cavern wall. It wasn’t until Chu Mu and others approached that these three flames slowly detached from the side walls and morphed into Fire Spirit appearances after falling to the ground.

These three Fire Spirits were only around Level 6, certainly not the opponents of the three Level 7 War General Level soul pets. The two Ice-Feathered Spirits and the Water Moon almost killed these three Level 6 Fire Spirits instantly.

The deeper they went, the stronger the fire element soul pets, and the heat wave became more intense. Zeng Linshan, with his low cultivation, was already sweating on his forehead.

“Huhuhuhu”

The surroundings were all fiery red, but the ear-piercing sound of strong wind was heard.

Taking a few steps forward, after passing a fork, the three of them quickly discovered the source of the sound.

The cavern at the fork was narrow, and what surprised the three was that between the roughly five-meter-wide passage at the fork, a Flame Vortex had appeared, blocking the cave.

The Flame Vortex was rotating, constantly spitting out flames in the direction of the trio, with a spread of about ten meters.

The rocks surrounding the Flame Vortex were all red and scorching. Even near the Flame Vortex, the shimmering crystal luster could be felt.

“Young Master, there are Level 6 Fire Crystals there, and it’s possible that there will be Level 7 Fire Crystals at the center.” The Fox Elder immediately reminded Chu Mu.

Chu Mu nodded and could guess that when such a special fire state appeared, the surroundings would often produce elemental crystal stones with similar effects as soul crystals.

Of course, apart from producing crystals, the accompanying fire element soul pets definitely existed, otherwise, the crystals would soon be taken away by other pets.

“An Eighth Rank Strengthened Flame Elf. Let my Ice-Feathered Spirit take care of it.” Zeng Linshan volunteered, immediately locking onto the Flame Elf in the Flame Vortex.

For a soul pet trainer, the most important thing is not to clear obstacles, but to conserve combat strength to the greatest extent possible. If one soul pet can deal with things, they try to avoid getting a second soul pet involved. On the one hand, it can train the soul pet; on the other hand, it won’t waste soul power on summoning…

“I think his Ice-Feathered Spirit is not a match for that Strengthened Flame Elf.” Ye Qingzi stood beside Chu Mu, speaking in a calm tone.

“Yeah, I can see.” Chu Mu also nodded.

The Strengthened Flame Elf had already reached the Eighth Rank Second Stage, and its strengthening degree wouldn’t be much less than Zeng Linshan’s. Despite being at a disadvantage in terms of attributes, it was situated right in the Flame Vortex, so its strength might reach Eighth Rank Fifth Stage.

Zeng Linshan’s Level 7 Fifth Stage Ice-Feathered Spirit couldn’t possibly be its opponent. Either Zeng Linshan overestimated himself, or he didn’t consider these factors at all.

“When his Ice-Feathered Spirit is defeated, you can let Ning take action. People who are too sel-fassured sometimes need to know that what they’re lifting is not their own status, but a heavy rock that will hit their feet, and the higher it is, the more painful it will be.”
