Chapter 612: Chapter 483: Survival Rule, Mo Ye Clan

…

…

“When a Mo Ye is born, it signifies a brutal beginning. The Mo Ye species does not reproduce frequently, but every birth yields numerous siblings, possibly more than twenty. ”

“Mo Ye is simultaneously the least and most responsible demon beast species towards their offspring. After giving birth, they nurse their offspring once, then immediately place all of the offspring together, forcing them to duel.”

“Why is this? The reason is quite simple, a pair of adult Mo Ye cannot possibly raise that many offspring. The food and protection they can provide can only sustain one or two offspring’s growth. To perpetuate this warrior species, adult Mo Yes must select one or two of the healthiest offspring from twenty in this cruel manner…”

“The eliminated Mo Yes won’t be killed by the adult Mo Ye. The adult Mo Ye will randomly abandon these deficient Mo Yes in different places, leaving them to survive on their own…”

“Most young soul pets of Warrior Level and above are protected by stronger members of the same species. After reaching the Commander Level, you can hardly encounter unprotected Commander Level young pets. But the Mo Ye species is an exception, you can always find Mo Yes that haven’t even reached the second rank, wandering and surviving alone in a jungle. They are often ruthless towards enemies, yet often, they lie alone under a cave, silently licking their wounds… These Mo Yes were abandoned by their parents at birth…”

“If they were Servant Level or Warrior Level, perhaps they could grow slowly in a relatively quiet environment, after all, Servant Level and Warrior Level young pets are abundant everywhere. However, Commander Level young pets are a threat to many territorial creatures, which won’t let them grow freely. Consequently, most of these abandoned Mo Yes perish before reaching the Third Rank, with only a one percent survival rate, or even less…”

“However, it’s worth respecting that each abandoned Mo Ye that stubbornly survives will often eventually become the strongest king of their entire species! This is the survival law of the Mo Yes!!”

…

These are Chu Mu’s entire memories of the Mo Ye species. After hearing of this species’ brutal survival method, Chu Mu gained true respect for the Mo Ye species.

…

At the eastern foothills of the giant mountain, sunshine bathed the entire forest in dappled light…

Chu Mu leaned against a tree, his eyes watching the light seeping through the leaves, listening to Fox Elder recounting the previous events. However, what echoed in his mind were Chu Tiancheng’s early stories about the Mo Ye species…

“Chu Mu, I will find a way to get you the Healing Soul Bud and have your spirit recover in the shortest time possible.” Princess Jinrou sat halfway next to Chu Mu, gently comforting him.

Princess Jinrou herself had also lost a Soul Pet, but she knew that compared to the emotional bond between Chu Mu and the Mo Ye, her injury was negligible.

Chu Mu shook his head slowly, stood up, with his eyes focused on the giant mountain.

“Mo Ye, White Demon; we should go…” Chu Mu didn’t care what Princess Jinrou said, instead, he started walking.

Mo Ye and White Demon immediately ran to Chu Mu’s side. Regardless of Chu Mu’s decision, they would never question it, even if it now meant seeking revenge on the Female Sovereign.

“Chu Mu, where are you going?” Seeing Chu Mu about to leave, Princess Jinrou reached out quickly, grabbing him.

Princess Jinrou knew that Chu Mu was currently suppressing his inner anger. She didn’t want Chu Mu to recklessly fight to the death with the Female Sovereign from losing the Mo Ye, because that would result in the death of Chu Mu and his soul pets.

“It’s not dead.” Chu Mu’s mood was very calm, looking no different from usual. However, his black eyes hid all his emotions deep, making them hard to read.

“It’s been so long, it can’t possibly still be alive. Chu Mu, face reality!” Princess Jinrou felt that Chu Mu had lost his composure.

“It’s still alive.” Chu Mu answered calmly then jumped onto Mo Ye.

“Young Master, Spiritual Poison Devour may have confused your cognition. It fell into the nest of the thousand-leg Centipede. There are thousands of thousand-leg centipedes there… There is not much time left to enter the realm, what you need to do now is to turn around calmly and wisely, pass through this forest, avoid that marionette, and reach Chen Lake Waterfall. You next step should be to replenish your injured soul, and look for opportunities to deal with the Female Marionette in the upcoming eighth and ninth realms, instead of foolishly rushing into the thousand-leg centipede’s den to meet death…”

“Even if it is still alive now, but how are you going to save it? Countless thousand-leg centipedes and a peak monarch level ten-thousand-legged centipede, you can’t even get down to the depths of the abyss!” Fox Elder held on to Chu Mu, seriously and sternly talking to Chu Mu.

Princess Jinrou nodded and said, “It has happened, rest assured, I will help you get the Healing Soul Bud, there is still hope to enter the realms. Don’t be rash.”

Chu Mu looked back at Princess Jinrou, staring for a long time.

Princess Jinrou thought Chu Mu had calmed down, a pale and beautiful smile appeared on her face, even though this smile was hidden under her thin veil…

Finally, Chu Mu began to speak. At that moment, his black eyes sparkled with resolute light, a look that signaled no one could prevent Chu Mu from making his decision.

“I will not let it be abandoned for the third time,” Chu Mu said expressionlessly.

After saying this, Chu Mu patted Mo Ye, ignored Princess Jinrou and Fox Elder’s persuasion, and ran into the cave of the giant mountain.

The White Nightmare Demon, dashing beside Chu Mu, also dragged out a long white demonic flame, closely following Chu Mu’s side.

In a short while, Chu Mu had already run hundreds of meters away. Princess Jinrou watched Chu Mu’s retreating figure in a daze. She couldn’t understand why he was turning back when the tragedy had already happened.

In that abyss, there were countless thousand-leg centipedes, which were enemies that simply couldn’t be defeated, even more terrifying than the Female Sovereign. Yet, what was influencing this man’s decisions that made him unhesitantly return to the abyss filled with corpses, decay, and death? Was it solely because the soul contract was not yet broken and because Mo Ye was still barely breathing at the bottom of the abyss?

Mo Ye had absolutely no chance of surviving…

Princess Jinrou did not understand. Was it that Chu Mu couldn’t accept this fact and was impulsively seeking death in Centipede Abyss, or as long as his soul pet was still breathing, as long as his soul pet was still alive, he would jump into the abyss of death without hesitation?

In Chu Mu’s resolute departure, Princess Jinrou saw something she had never had before. It had nothing to do with rationality, reality, or life and death. It was simply an incomprehensible philosophy that most soul pet masters wouldn’t cling to…

…

Zhan Ye’s congenital defect made its body exceptionally weak.

Chu Mu understood the survival rule of the Mo Ye species, so Zhan Ye had to be a weak pet that was abandoned shortly after birth.

It survived alone, fighting alone in a cruel environment.

Even if he hadn’t witnessed Zhan Ye’s entire journey of survival, Chu Mu could know that its growth was a repeated ordeal of blood and tears.

Humans empowered themselves through soul pets, and likewise many weak and small soul pets survived through humans. It was lucky that Zhan Ye was able to sign a soul contract with a human. At least humans knew how to make soul pets grow in the most rational and safe way, making them stronger than their kind.

However, Zhan Ye was abandoned by the Soul Pet Trainer with surname Yang and became an abandoned pet.

Once betrayed and hurt, believing in humans again becomes extremely difficult, especially when this shocking wound is deeply carved into the depths of the soul.

When Chu Mu signed a soul contract with Zhan Ye, he swore with his soul that he would make it stronger and become a strong one beyond racial limitations. Unless he died, he would never break the soul contract nor abandon it!

In front of Chu Mu was a soul pet who had abandoned the contract, left Chu Mu regardless, caused him great harm, and deeply trampled on Chu Mu’s dignity. Undoubtedly, it was a powerful Emperor species with supreme power, but its heart and soul were dirty and humble!

Behind Chu Mu was Zhan Ye, who had fallen into the abyss. It had been abandoned twice but was still willing to sacrifice its life for its master at the most critical moment. Zhan Ye was so weak at the beginning that it couldn’t survive in the small forest, and it was easily defeated by Mo Ye. However, in Chu Mu’s eyes, Zhan Ye had always been the noblest life.

Chu Mu would not abandon his soul pet, much less allow a strong and proud Mo Ye, who was living in a world dominated by the law of the survival of the fittest, to be abandoned for the third time!

Perhaps, these are all things that Princess Jinrou will never understand because they are Chu Mu’s own stubborn ideas. No matter how silly and reckless they seem to others, as long as Zhan Ye is still alive, as long as the vows of the soul contract are still in place, there’s no reason for Chu Mu to abandon it…

…

…

The black abyss.

In the space behind the rock barrier, the bodies of the thousand-leg centipedes have piled up to nearly ten meters high. The stench pervaded a large area around the edge of the abyss. More centipedes that were hibernating seemed to sense something wrong, as if it wasn’t just a civil war happening amongst certain centipede groups…

“Hiss~~~~~~~~~~~~”

Thousands of sensory legs, a thousand-leg centipede about fifty meters in size slowly opened its eyes and stared at the rocky barrier where its kind’s blood seeped out.

Finally, this massive creature moved and led over 30, ten-meter-long centipedes towards the rock barrier.

Inside the rock barrier, stacked with countless corpses, Zhan Ye crawled alone in a corner like when it was young, silently licking its wound, making its wound heal…

At this point, Zhan Ye had stepped into the Tenth Stage and temporarily reached Mo Ye species’ full form! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
