Chapter 4: Inner Island, Searching for a New Soul Pet
At another site, within a luxurious hall, stood four men. Three of them are enforcers whom the children have met before.
These three enforcers are leaders at this Green Nightmare Demon Island, with twenty other enforcers under them. They dictate all that happens on this island.
At this moment however, the three leaders of Green Nightmare Demon Island stood respectfully behind a white clothed man, the cruelty and hostility shown towards the children nowhere to be seen.
“Sir Xia, it is our honour to have you back at the island” said the head of the enforcers.
“Cao Yi, is the kid I left here dead yet?” said Sir Xia.
Sir Xia is a man of about thirty, with pale skin. Due to his somewhat weak and sickly appearance, he gives off a cold vibe.
“Not yet.” replied Cao Yi, the highest ranking leader.
Slightly surprised, Sir Xia mumbled to himself: “Back in Luo Gang city, the information we received from the hirer clearly states that Chu Mu was barely a soul disciple. With that weak of a soul power, he should have been devoured by the White Nightmare Demon at stage 2, how is he still alive?”
The three enforcers have no idea what Sir Xia is mumbling about, and can only look at each other in silence.
“Sir Xia, do you need us to kill him? It’s an insult for your White Nightmare Demon to devour such a weak soul.” said Cao Yi finally.
“There’s no need for that, if he’s still alive, that means his soul power is enough to support my White Nightmare Demon. Looks like this kid have some capability after all. Since there’s no other suitable host, let him raise it for now. We might even get a pleasant surprise……” said Sir Xia.
Saying that, Sir Xia stood up, and continued “Let him continue his training here, after his death, send the White Nightmare Demon to my island.”
“What if he doesn’t die?” asked one enforcer softly.
“Idiot! Every White Nightmare Demon requires thousands of corpses to raise, how can this kid survive?” scolded Cao Yi immediately.
“Yes of course, I’m sorry for being stupid……” the enforcer who asked nodded his head furiously.
Sir Xia smiled mysteriously and walked out.
In truth, even Sir Xia doesn’t think that Chu Mu can survive, because the White Nightmare Demon’s growth process normally requires at least a thousand good hosts……
Sir Xia’s White Nightmare Demon is a new born. For a gifted young soul master, a baby White Nightmare Demon’s appet.i.te is still sustainable.。
But this is only because the White Nightmare Demon’s stage is low. As the White Nightmare Demon grow and its appet.i.te increases, it will require a stronger host instead of weak fifteen year old soul masters like Chu Mu.
Sir Xia believes that Chu Mu’s time will be up when the White Nightmare Demon grow to stage 3.
……
……
Inside the wooden cabin.
“The number of high grade soul pets with good potential on the island is limited. We should hurry and capture our soul pets. If we get a bad pet, even with three months of rigorous training, it will be very difficult to get top ten.”
The life and death struggle last night did not affect Ding Yu’s sleep, and early the next morning, in high spirits, she decided to go capture her own soul pet.
“Okay, good luck.” Chu Mu slightly nodded, saying to the waiting Ding Yu.
“Huh, don’t you intend to come with me?” asked Ding Yu.
