Chapter 1396: Evil Scorpions, Full On Assault Chu (1/2)
Mu and Lin Mengling continued on with their cultivation. In order to isolate themselves from any exterior interference, they shut off their sense of hearing and had even retracted their sensation, because only then could they guarantee to fully focus on cultivation.
Xia Yin was strong, and with his Season Immortal Vine around, Chu Mu and Lin Mengling believed that there would not be any accidents occurring.
The moment Chu Mu closed his eyes, he felt as if he had entered a long dream and would not know anything that happened afterwards because Chu Mu was doing a complicated process repetitively.
Taking in the Immortal Aura from around him, accumulating the Immortal Aura into his soul, then repeating it over and over.
The lingering Immortal Aura in the air could be considered as food to a certain extent. So it would not pose any significant problem to them if they were to cultivate like that for months.
However, Xia Yin could not endure a war of attrition over a few months by himself no matter how strong he was.
Creatures that would probe the place they were at were mostly between pseudo Immortal and paragon Dominator ranks. There might even be some creatures coming to snatch the resources from them in order to break through to low class Immortal rank. Furthermore, there would be more and more creatures gathering towards the cultivation formation as time passed. One was due to the higher density of Immortal Aura, the other was the bloody smell that was spreading out from the corpses attracting the creatures with a sharp sense of smell.
Places of conflict usually meant that they were places with benefits. A large number of creatures did not know what might be there, but they would definitely take a look after smelling the blood.
After about twenty days, Xia Yin’s soul pets had completely exhausted their fighting strength.
“Go take a rest, I will continue from here,” said Chu Mu after taking a glance at Xia Yin.
“Yeah, I leave it to you,” Xia Yin nodded and sat down in the cultivation formation.
Combat was the most direct method of cultivation. Chu Mu would never want to miss out on any battles. If not for the precious Immortal Aura within the cultivation formation, Chu Mu would actually welcome a chance for a continuous battle like this!
In a glance, the barren pot valley was already full of corpses. It could be seen that the battlefield was already tidied up, but the lingering bloody smell could not be gotten rid of.
During the first day, it was still rather calm. Xia Yin’s fighting strength had probably deterred the surrounding creatures to some extent.
On the dawn of the second day though, a large colony of black and red creatures had suddenly appeared from the horizon!
Those creatures had thick and smooth armor, sharp pliers and a curved tail with a poisonous sting at the tip!
Like black and red mud flowing down from higher ground, an innumerable number of Evil Scorpions charged forward madly and produced threatening hissing sounds!
Chu Mu stared at those Evil Scorpions in shock. Those Evil Scorpions were at least Dominator rank. Based on a rough estimate, there were about one thousand of them!
Chu Mu had witnessed an Emperor army before, but he had never seen a Dominator army, and especially a size of a thousand at that!
Over a thousand Dominators charging forward, such a scene was truly astonishing. Each step they took could cause a crack of over ten kilometers to appear on the surface of the earth. During a charge, the space shook chaotically. The rampaging air currents transformed into a disastrous storm and whipped through the entire region.
“Did Xia Yin also survive through such onslaughts?” Chu Mu was astonished.
This was only the second day of his shift, and yet such an enormous number of enemies had appeared. This single battle alone might already completely exhaust his strength, yet Xia Yin was able to guard them for twenty days!
Chu Mu did not think that he was unlucky. He had encountered so many powerful creatures in the start that it could only mean that Xia Yin was really very strong.
Xia Yin guarded had them for twenty days, providing precious cultivation time for Lin Mengling and himself. Then he also could not just back down after a few days, that would be too disgraceful.
Chu Mu could not use his semi devil transformation while in the Imprint Valley, so he could only rely on his soul pets.
Guarding for twenty days. If an army like this Evil Scorpion would come swarming in every few days, then it would be a huge challenge for Chu Mu.
However, Chu Mu liked facing challenges. Each of his soul pets also possessed the same ambitions!
“Mo Xie, you can fight to your heart’s content this time,” Chu Mu took a glance at Mo Xie on his shoulder!
After reaching this rank, soul pets would normally take a long time to recover after getting completely exhausted if there was no special nurturing involved.
Chu Mu had to arrange his fighting forces rationally, or he would definitely not be able to last over ten days.
Mo Xie jumped down from Chu Mu’s shoulder. When it saw that a thousand-man strong Evil Scorpion army was charging towards the cultivation formation from all directions, its silver eyes immediately sparkled with excitement!
This was a group of really powerful enemies, it would definitely be able to fight to its heart content this time!
Mo Xie did not charge out. This time, it focused on defending instead. It stood right in front of Chu Mu, calmly and excitedly waiting for the arrival of the Evil Scorpions!
“Devil Tree, protect everyone,” Chu Mu chanted and summoned his Devil Tree Battle Soldier.
Devil Tree Battle Soldier had received Ning Maner’s nurturing and had reached peak Dominator rank. In addition to the Xuan Wood Leaf’s effect, its actual strength should be one level higher than a normal peak Dominator rank.
