When Chu Mu arrived at the Soul Pet Palace, the attentive seller had already put up a price for the concubine Lingyin. In the end, Chu Mu unfortunately bought the concubine Lingyin back, and the remaining few hundred thousand gold coins were gone.
Gave it to the seller.
The seller was very efficient and quickly contacted the buyer for Chu Mu. Chu Mu only waited there for about an hour, and all the items were sold. To Chu Mu's disappointment, these items
All of them were sold for only 28 million gold coins, which was a little less than Chu Mu expected.
"There are still 2 million gold coins left, and the Ranmu Blood Crystal..." Chu Mu was also a little helpless.
All the money is not enough to strengthen the Demon Tree Warriors, let alone the concentrated crystallization of the Ghost Vault King.
After collecting 28 million gold coins, Chu Mu returned to the exchange. By this time, Ye Qingzi had already purchased the spiritual objects and medicinal materials she needed at the auction.
"I have bought the Ranmu Blood Crystal you need for 29 million gold coins." Ye Qingzi said to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu was also worried that he would miss the Ranmu Blood Crystal, which was an unexpected surprise, so he gave all his assets, 28 million gold coins, to Ye Qingzi, and also gave her his concubine Lingyin.
After Ye Qingzi accepted Chu Mu's 28 million gold coins, he paid Chu Mu another 4 million gold coins, saying that it was the price for buying Lingyin's concubine. Chu Mu was also very short of money now, so he did not refuse.
"Do you still want to buy level 6 concentrated ghosts and rock soul crystals? Then I may not be able to help you. I only have a few million gold coins left. In addition to buying medicinal materials a few days ago, I bought some for my brother.
The spiritual object strengthens his soul pet." Ye Qingzi said.
Chu Mu smiled bitterly, it was already difficult to meet Chu Mu's needs with tens of millions of dollars, let alone equip all his soul pets with soul equipment.
"How about you accept the reward? The amount should not be low, and I will help you." Ye Qingzi said.
"Well, that's the only way." Chu Mu shook his head helplessly, and finally had to accept the reward.
Because Ye Qingzi had to wait for the next batch of spiritual objects, Chu Mu also accompanied Ye Qingzi until the second auction ended, and then left the exchange after purchasing all the detoxification materials.
It was already late at night when they left the exchange. Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi drove the dream beasts towards Central City West Street respectively.
"Why don't you choose a elixir store closer to the central square? Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to buy elixirs?" Chu Mu asked puzzledly.
"It's just..." Ye Qingzi hesitated for a while, as if she couldn't find a reasonable reason to explain.
Chu Mu even showed doubts, but seeing that Ye Qingzi didn't answer, he didn't ask further.
There is a long distance from the central square to West Street. When Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi walked into West Street, they could clearly feel that the place had become very deserted. Presumably the residents who originally lived here had temporarily moved to other places.
Place to hide.
"Do you feel the atmosphere is weird?" Ye Qingzi asked Chu Mu in a low voice.
"A bit, maybe those things are out again. Let's be more careful." Chu Mu said.
"Don't summon soul pets casually yet. The more soul pets there are, the more likely they will be to arouse their appetite." Ye Qingzi said.
Chu Mu nodded and asked the Night Thunder Dream Beast to hide his aura, and at the same time release his soul to search for the surrounding situation.
The empty streets were vaguely shrouded in some strange fog, and from time to time, a few weird screams came from a deep courtyard, bringing a scary atmosphere to the cold streets.
"It's strange. Didn't the deputy captain of the air guard say that he would send extra manpower today? How come you haven't seen a city guard or an air guard after walking for so long?" Ye Qingzi asked.
Chu Mu had always felt strange before, but he couldn't put his finger on what was wrong. After Ye Qingzi said this, he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to even see the city guard in this West Street.
There were consecutive murders in a neighborhood. It was impossible for the city guards not to take this kind of thing seriously. However, after walking for so long, Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi didn't even see a single city guard. This was too weird.
"Qingzi, how long have those things been around here for Chu Mu?" Chu Mu asked.
"It's been almost more than a week. In fact, I think they have been in the city for a long time. They have been dormant before and only appeared recently." Ye Qingzi replied.
"Then how sure are you that they won't attack civilians?" Chu Mu continued to ask.
"At least 90% of the time, these things need soul cores and soul crystals to maintain their lives, and only the flesh and blood of powerful soul pets can satisfy their appetites. Killing civilians indiscriminately will not do them any good, but may expose their whereabouts.
So I conclude that they are not ferocious beasts, but predators that specifically target some soul pets." Ye Qingzi said.
When Ye Qingzi said this, Chu Mu frowned and his heart began to beat uneasily.
"Ah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
A scream suddenly started, echoing horribly in this already terrifying neighborhood!
Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi were both stunned.
"Over there, let's get there quickly!" Chu Mu took the lead in driving the Night Thunder Dream Beast and flew towards the direction of the sound.
Ye Qingzi quickly caught up with Chu Mu. After careful observation, he found that Chu Mu looked extremely anxious. This made Ye Qingzi very confused. Even if innocent people were killed, with Chu Mu's character
It shouldn't be so anxious and uneasy.
It was difficult for Chu Mu to stay calm at this time. Considering what was happening now, he guessed a very scary possibility.
"What happened?" Ye Qingzi noticed Chu Mu's mood and asked.
"Let's go over there first." Chu Mu didn't have time to answer Ye Qingzi, so he asked the Night Thunder Dream Beast to start chasing the wind and the moon, and began to accelerate.
The Night Thunder Dream Beast ran faster and faster under the miserable moonlight. In the end, even its figure could not be seen. Only the messy streets like those blown by a storm proved that the Night Thunder Dream Beast rushed past here.
It was still the same place as yesterday, and soon the Night Thunder Dream Beast resisted the Gutong Alley area.
Ye Qingzi had been chasing Chu Mu. After turning a street, she suddenly found Chu Mu stopped at a narrow intersection. His whole body was shrouded in a layer of shadow, exuding a terrifying murderous aura.
Ye Qingzi drove the purple-shirted dream beast to a stop next to Chu Mu. When she was about to ask Chu Mu, she suddenly discovered that except for the street she ran from, there was blood flowing in the other three streets!
!
The moonlight penetrated the night fog, showing a bit of haziness, and sprinkled on the blood that slowly flowed to the underground ditch, making the blood look more eye-catching and terrifying. Looking across, there were several corpses of soul pets in every direction.
, these corpses have been chewed until only the white bones and some limbs that are difficult to swallow are left. Judging from the bloody pieces of raw meat and the spilled body fluids, these soul pets all died not long ago.
There were fourteen corpses in total, and next to almost every corpse was a soul pet master wearing the same clothes, and these soul pet masters were the city guards of Li City!!
Such a cruel scene appeared in the city, and Ye Qingzi felt a little uneasy in her heart. She looked at Chu Mu with a stern face with a pair of panicked eyes.
Chu Mu said nothing and let the Night Thunder Dream Beast continue walking along the straight line of the street.
After stepping on the corpses, Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi soon arrived at another neighborhood.
"Hufufufu~~~~~~~~~"
A cold wind blew from the depths of the street, the smell of blood entered the nose, and the mist of death hung low over the city.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, and the pale moonlight shone on the bodies that died suddenly in the streets and alleys, creating a scene that was disgusting and terrifying.
More corpses of soul pets appeared in front of Chu Mu. These were all the soul pets of the city guards, including those who were supposed to be patrolling here. They had lost their lives in this terrible city at some unknown time.
..."How could this happen..." Looking at the corpses on both sides, Ye Qingzi's face turned a little pale.
This is a city inhabited by humans, but it feels scarier than those eerie caves and forests in the wild. What on earth turned this residential area into such a terrifying look!!
"Let's go back, they should all be dead..." Chu Mu continued to walk forward, because he knew that if he went further, he would probably be killed like those city guards lying in disorder on the street.
Death, the soul pet is eaten dry.
"What's going on?" Ye Qingzi, who had always been calm, was also a little flustered.
"This is a conspiracy, a trap deliberately set by the predators." Chu Mu said in a calm voice.
Originally, Chu Mu was just guessing, but after seeing the corpses of more than a dozen city guards and the remains of dozens of soul pets in this neighborhood, his guess was confirmed.
"Conspiracy, are these man-made?" Ye Qingzi still didn't understand.
Chu Mu shook his head and said, "I don't know yet whether it's man-made or not..."
Looking back at the streets where blood was constantly flowing out, Chu Mu slightly asked the Night Thunder Dream Beast to speed up, and at the same time asked Ye Qingzi to follow him a little closer.
"Aren't you saying there's no point in these predators attacking civilians?"
"Well, at least I think so."
"They know that once there is death, city guards will appear in large numbers in a certain area. Yesterday they killed more than thirty civilians for this purpose..." Chu Mu said.
Chu Mu was so broken, Ye Qingzi suddenly woke up, and the surprise on his face could not be added. This is really terrible!!
Because these things are deliberately attracting city guards, and then using the city guards who can summon soul pets as food!!!
"If we could have thought of it yesterday, they wouldn't have died..." Chu Mu's face showed a bit of bitterness.
