“Shhh”

The sound of Qingzhe Dragon is similar to the mimicry sounds of Little Green Worm in the past, this easily triggered Chu Mu’s memories to that vulnerable little creature with big eyes and no power or memory.

Chu Mu’s soul sense was growing stronger now, as was his understanding of the Beast Language, enabling him to guess to a certain extent what Little Green Worm was trying to communicate to him.

The mental sound transmitted by the Qingzhe Dragon in the cocoon conveyed no hostility, it seemed to be a state of acknowledgment. Chu Mu was confused as to why this Qingzhe Dragon would acknowledge him. This acknowledgement seemed to be established entirely on instinct.

“Young Master, have you ever encountered another Qingzhe Dragon and had a good relationship with it?” The voice of Fox Elder came.

“Yeah.” Chu Mu nodded.

“Qingzhe Dragons have a special sense of resonance between them. Generally speaking, as long as one Qingzhe Dragon accepts you, then the aura on your body can also gain the favor of other Qingzhe Dragons, but you’d better be careful, Young Master. Favoritism doesn’t mean it won’t harm you,” said Fox Elder.

Fox Elder’s words enlightened Chu Mu. It seems that the smell left by the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon on him still exists. The other Qingzhe Dragons, upon detecting it, establish an instinctual trust through such special resonance.

“Qingzhe Dragon, there’s another invisible Gluttonous Insect Monster beside me, and a Soul Pet Master beneath the cocoon; they want your dragon egg…” Chu Mu transmitted his mental information into the cocoon with his soul sense.

“Shhh Shhh”

The Qingzhe Dragon immediately sent out a series of messages that Chu Mu only half-understood.

Chu Mu roughly guessed that the Qingzhe Dragon was asking how he got in touch with the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon, and why he still had a special mark of the Zhe Dragon on him.

As for the Gluttonous Insect Monster and Duan Xinhe, the Qingzhe Dragon seemingly didn’t consider them as threats.

“I met the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon on Prison Island. It transformed into a memory-less, powerless green worm to escape pursuers and hid by my side…” Chu Mu briefly recounted his encounter with the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon and the peculiar relationship between the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon and Mo Ye.

“Shhh”

The Qingzhe Dragon spoke another series of words, and Chu Mu pondered for a while before he understood the general meaning.

“Now, that guy beside me wants to kill me. If you still need some time to hatch, I might be in danger,” Chu Mu said.

“Shhh”

“I’ll try, but you hurry up because I’m no match for him,” Chu Mu said.

During Chu Mu’s conversation with the Qingzhe Dragon, Duan Xinhe was already running out of patience. He had already jumped onto the cocoon, his cold gaze fixated on Chu Mu, slowly revealing a terrifying murderous intent.

“Kid, I don’t have all day to waste with you. Tell me now how you got the Qingzhe Dragon egg, or I’ll dispatch my child to the old site and kill that woman,” threatened Duan Xinhe.

“I’ve already probed the inside with my soul just now. That Qingzhe Dragon is still asleep. We go down now, there will be a spot where the cocoon is the weakest, we can enter from there and get the Zhe Dragon egg,” Chu Mu said.

“Go in? Hmm, do you think I’m stupid? If we wake up the Qingzhe Dragon, wouldn’t I then die because of you?” Duan Xinhe said.

“Well, I can go in,” Chu Mu said.

“Alright.”

The cocoon was the strongest fortress of the Qingzhe Dragon. This fortress had no loopholes at all. Chu Mu’s so-called weakest point was also fictional. He just wanted to buy some time.

After jumping down from the cocoon, Chu Mu deliberately rambled about some stories about Qingzhe Dragons he heard from Fox Elder, then randomly chose a suitable location.

“Here, are you sure?” Duan Xinhe asked.

“Yes, here. Your Gluttonous Insect Monster’s claws are sharper, try ripping it open, but don’t use skills. If you use skills, it may wake up that Qingzhe Dragon,” Chu Mu said.

Duan Xinhe was skeptical and let the Gluttonous Insect Monster tear at the cocoon’s spot Chu Mu pointed to.

The outermost layer of the cocoon is a semi-solid silk which is flexible and hard to cut. The claws of the Ninth Rank Gluttonous Insect Monster reached the Ninth Level, but without using skills, it only symbolically tore up a few strands.

“Kid, is this the weakest spot?” Duan Xinhe immediately noticed that something was wrong, those pair of eyes already flashing with a few points of anger for being fooled.

Chu Mu had already quietly kept some distance from Duan Xinhe, the white charm demon flame quietly burning outward from his body.

“What, you’re not thinking of running away, are you?” Duan Xinhe sneered, a chilling look having overtaken his eyes.

Chu Mu indeed had half a mind to demonize, but what chilled him to the bone was the sense of another freezing presence behind him!!

“The second ninth-stage Gluttonous Insect Monster…” Chu Mu felt a chill run through him. He could sense the presence of the creature behind him, and he knew that any minor action on his part would result in his throat being torn open by this beast!!

Half-demonization also required a short amount of time, Chu Mu did not expect Duan Xinhe to be such a careful person, having already stealthily summoned the second ninth-grade Gluttonous Insect Monster.

“You’ve been playing me all along, haven’t you? I saw through it a long time ago,” Duan Xinhe coldly stated.

Chu Mu’s heartbeat began to quicken. Duan Xinhe’s killing intent was immense. Perhaps in the next second, he would be killed. This proximity to death was rarely experienced by Chu Mu, especially in facing an invisible ninth-grade creature like the gluttonous insect monster…

Chu Mu’s mind was spinning. He was trying to keep calm, forcefully steadying himself. He knew that with just a little more time, the Qingzhe Dragon could hatch. Death might be imminent, but Chu Mu wanted to prolong this moment as much as possible. He would not resign himself to death so easily!

“I can show you something. When you see it, you’ll know whether I played you or not…” Finally, Chu Mu spoke up. If not in this dire situation, Chu Mu would never make this decision.

“You think I would believe anything you said? Are you going to pretend to show me another Qingzhe Dragon Eggshell…” Duan Xinhe mocked.

“Qingzhe Dragon Egg!” Chu Mu’s voice was as deep as an abyss.

At this point, other than using the Qingzhe Dragon Egg as a bargaining chip, Chu Mu could not see any other way out.

Of course, Chu Mu knew that even if he handed over the Qingzhe Dragon egg from his Space Ring to Duan Xinhe, he would still ultimately die. The display of the Qingzhe Dragon Egg was his gambit to buy some time!

“Ridiculous, do you think I would believe you have a Qingzhe Dragon Egg? It seems you’ve taken me, Duan Xinhe, for a fool that can be easily tricked,” Duan Xinhe’s face twisted in rage. His powerful killing intent made Chu Mu shudder.

“See for yourself.” Chu Mu took a deep breath, steadied himself before opening his Space Ring, gingerly retrieved the azure segmented egg.

The azure Dragon Egg was about the size of two of Chu Mu’s palms. It was heavier than much denser rocks, looking like a cobblestone wrapped in azure snake scales. It emanated a unique scent of the Qingzhe Dragon.

“This is…” Duan Xinhe was stupefied, looking astonished at the Qingzhe Dragon Egg in Chu Mu’s hand.

Duan Xinhe had a keen eye for identifying true or fake soul pet eggs, so when Chu Mu revealed the Qingzhe Dragon Egg, Duan Xinhe was taken aback.

He was overwhelmed with euphoria, his heart pounding in his chest. In that moment, he even forgot to question how Chu Mu acquired the Dragon Egg. He was trembling, greedily wanting to snatch it from Chu Mu’s hands.

Chu Mu held the Qingzhe Dragon egg with a twinge of distress in his heart. This was a Dragon Egg that the Qingzhe Dragon trusted him with, and now he was using that trust to bargain for his life. Such desperation saddened him.

Duan Xinhe had already extended his hand to caress the Dragon Egg. His yellow eyes were sparkling, his excitement, greed, and desire for possession on full display.

“Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss”

Just as Duan Xinhe was about to take the Dragon Egg, a warning cry came from the Gluttonous Insect Monster behind Chu Mu!

Duan Xinhe’s reaction was swift; his gaze immediately locked onto the direction where his soul pet indicated the danger.

Chu Mu reacted even faster. Whether or not he could complete the half-demonization in this brief moment, he had to escape immediately!

“ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Suddenly, a roar came from behind Chu Mu, followed by a powerful soul pet covered in black fur leaping out of the darkness. Its entire body transformed into a black bolt of light, brutally charging at the Gluttonous Insect Monster behind Chu Mu.

This ninth-grade Gluttonous Insect Monster did not sense another creature that could blend into the darkness. Its smaller body was immediately sent flying by the black soul pet.

“Chu Mu, hurry!!” The anxious voice of a woman echoed in Chu Mu’s spiritual realm.

“Qingzi…” Chu Mu was first overjoyed, but then filled with concern. However, he didn’t have time to think about it now, the spell was quickly recited!

Displacement Demon Shadow!

The white charm demon flame furiously surged up from Chu Mu’s feet, its soul-burning effect becoming evident. Duan Xinhe was about to control Chu Mu with his soul sense but was a little delayed due to Ye Qingzi’s sudden appearance. When he released his soul sense, he could clearly feel the terrifying soul-burning power of the white charm demon flame! (To be continued.
