Chapter 3 (2/2)
Applying the medicine on his own proved to be a difficult task. Lying on the bed, Chu Mu did not accomplish anything aside from working up a sweat and hurting his wound even more.
“Let me help you……”
“Ah~~~~”
The two voices sounded out suddenly, with the former being softer. Chu Mu did not realise that there was someone else in the room and abruptly jumped up from the bed, crying out as the abrupt motion caused a sharp pain to the wound on his back!
“It’s you, you’re alive……” said Chu Mu with a forced smile after seeing the soaked girl.
“I was lucky……let me help you apply that……” said the girl.
The girl is called Ding Yu, who also lives in this cabin. Chu Mu thought she had died, and is surprised that she is unharmed aside from a few scratches. Seems like she is a smart girl.
Chu Mu nodded, and laid on the bed.
The whole time the girl was applying the medicine, Chu Mu was on alert. After all, in three months, only ten will be surviving. If this seemingly delicate girl decided to be ruthless, there is a chance she might use this opportunity to get rid of compet.i.tion!
Ding Yu carefully smeared the medicine without doing anything suspicious, and Chu Mu gradually felt his pain easing.
“Since I helped you today, if I encounter any trouble in the future, you will help me, right?” asked Ding Yu after helping Chu Mu dress his wound.
The girl is very realistic and indicates she does not bear any hostility, only wanting to be allies.
Chu Mu nodded and replied faintly: “I’ll try my best……”
“My Green Nightmare Demon is growing quickly, and may grow into stage 3 in ten days. I’m worried I won’t have enough soul power to support it and have my soul eaten.” Ding Yu said while sitting on her bed and hugging her s.h.i.+vering knees.
“We got to try harder if we don’t want to die……” Hearing Ding Yu’s complain, Chu Mu can only console her with a simple reply.
Soul pets have a process of growth, the evil soul pet, Nightmare Demon, is no different.
For example, the hunting wolves that Chu Mu faced before, when born, after growing into childhood phase from baby phase, will start to go through the process, starting from stage 1……
The hunting wolves of the enforcers on Nightmare Demon Island are already at stage 5, and the helpless kids are definitely unable to withstand their strong attacks.
The Nightmare Demons in the kids’ body are also growing stage by stage. As of now most of the Nightmare Demons are around stage 2.
For every stage grown, the appet.i.te of the Nightmare Demon will also increase. A while ago, at least two to three hundred people have had their soul devoured as they did not have enough soul power to feed their Nightmare Demon when they have grown into stage 2.
“You don’t seem to be worried at all. Are you that confident in yourself?” asked Ding Yu.
Chu Mu shook his head bitterly, but did not reply.
In actuality, Chu Mu is the most uncertain of the lot to survive from the shadow of the Nightmare Demons.
All of the children here have forged a pact with the Green Nightmare Demon, but inside Chu Mu is the much more terrifying White Nightmare Demon!
Despite being similarly at stage 2, the White Nightmare Demon has a much larger appet.i.te than the Green Nightmare Demon. As their stage increases, their appet.i.te also increases exponentially. This expenditure is not something a ten year old soul master can support, and is also the reason the enforcers firmly believe Chu Mu to be as good as dead.
Very little people can survive from the curse of the White Nightmare Demon. Or rather, the White Nightmare Demon is a killer, and Chu Mu’s fate has been doomed ever since he forged the pact.
This pursuit of death has forced Chu Mu to do everything he can to increase his power!
