The Cyan Hidden Dragonâs voice was just like the little cyan bug once upon a time. This very easily made Chu Mu think again back to the memory-less, powerless little bug with big eyes.
Chu Muâs soul remembrance was stronger now, and he was more adept in the ways of the beast language. He could somewhat guess what the little cyan bug was trying to tell him now.
The mental voice of the cyan hidden dragon conveyed no emnity. It seemed to be some sort of recognition. However, Chu Mu didnât understand why this Cyan Hidden Dragon approved of him. Such an approval seemed to be completely based on instinct.
âYoung master, have you once met another cyan hidden dragon and had a decent relationship with it?â At this moment, Old Liâs voice transferred in.
âEn.â Chu Mu nodded.
âCyan Hidden Dragons have a special interaction system. Usually, if you gain the approval of one cyan hidden dragon, then your aura will gain the favorable impression of other cyan hidden dragons. However, young master should still be vigilant. Having a favorable impression doesnât mean it wonât harm you.â Old Li said.
With what Old Li said, Chu Mu finally understood. Presumably the Empyrean Cyan Hidden Dragon left some smell on him that was still there, and other Cyan Hidden Dragons smelled it and, through their special connection, built an instinctual trust for him.
âCyan Hidden Dragon, I have an invisible Gluttonous Insect Monster beside me. Beneath the cocoon is a soul pet trainer. They want your eggâŚâŚâ Chu Mu used his remembrance to relay this information into the cocoon.
âShashasha~~~~~shashasha~~~~~~â
The Cyan Hidden Dragon immediately sent out a string of information that Chu Mu only half understood.
Chu Mu could vaguely make out that the Cyan Hidden Dragon was asking how he came into contact with the Empyrean Cyan Hidden Dragon, and why he had a special Cyan Hidden Dragon mark.
As for the Gluttonous Insect Monster and Duan Xinhe, the Cyan Hidden Dragon didnât seem to even care about it.
âI met the Empyrean Cyan Hidden Dragon on Prison Island. That time, to avoid the chasing of other people, it became a powerless, memory less little cyan bug that hid by meâŚâŚâ Chu Mu started cursorily reciting his meeting with the Empyrean Cyan Hidden Dragon, also mentioning the strange connection between the Empyrean Cyan Hidden Dragon and Mo Xie.
âShashashasha~~~~~~â
The Cyan Hidden Dragon spoke another string of words, of which Chu Mu had to ponder for a bit before understanding the basics.
âRight now, the person beside me wants to kill me. If you still need a while before completely leaving your shell, then Iâm in great danger.â Chu Mu said.
âShashashash~~~Shashasha~~~~~~~â
âIâll try, but you best be fast, because Iâm not really his match.â Chu Mu said.
âŚâŚ
When Chu Mu was communicating with the Cyan Hidden Dragon, Duan Xinhe was already impatient from the wait. He himself had jumped onto the bug cocoon and looked coldly at Chu Mu, slowly revealing a terrifying killing intent.
âKid, I donât have much time to waste with you. Tell me how to get the Cyan Hidden Dragon egg now, or else Iâll tell my kids to kill the girl at the old site right now.â Duan Xinhe said.
âI just sent my remembrance in, the Cyan hidden Dragon is still asleep. Letâs go down. Thereâs a weak spot on the bug cocoon. If we enter from there, we can get the Hidden Dragon Egg.
âEnter? Hengheng, you think Iâm stupid? If I awaken this Cyan Hidden Dragon, wonât I have to die with you?â Duan Xinhe said.
âIâll enter, alright?â Chu Mu said.
âGood.â
The bug cocoon is the Cyan Hidden Dragonâs strongest defense. This defense doesnât have any chink in its armor. The weak spot Chu Mu spoke of was made up. He was just trying to slightly waste some time.
After jumping down from the bug cocoon, Chu Mu intentionally said another bunch of things about the Cyan Hidden Dragon that he heard from Old Li, and randomly picked a good spot.
âRight here? You sure?â Duan Xinhe asked.
âYes, right there. Your Gluttonous Insect Monstersâ claws are even sharper. Try to rip it aside. Donât use techniques though, they might wake up the dragon.â Chu Mu said.
Duan Xinhe remained suspicious but took Chu Mu for his word and told his Gluttonous Insect Monster to start ripping at the location of the bug cocoon.
The bug cocoonâs most outer layer is a half-solid cocoon silk. This silk was soft yet hard to cut. The ninth phase Gluttonous Insect Monsterâs claws were already at the ninth level, but without any techniques, it could only symbolically ripped a few strands apart.
âKid, this is the weak spot you speak of?â Duan Xinhe immediately saw the issue, his eyes flaming up with an anger of being lied to.
Chu Mu had already put some distance between himself and Duan Xinhe. White demonic devil flames quietly burned outwards in his body.
âWhat, you want to escape?â Duan Xinhe started laughing coldly, his eyes shooting ice daggers.
Chu Mu indeed was about to turn half-devil, yet, what was frightening was, he felt a coldness behind his back!!
âA second ninth phase Gluttonous Insect MonsterâŚâŚâ Chu Muâs heart went cold. He could feel the existence of the organism now, and if he made any move, his throat would definitely be ripped apart by it!!
Half devil state needed a short time, too. Chu Mu didnât think that Duan Xinhe was this careful. He had already secretly moved his second ninth phase Gluttonous Insect Monster forward.
âYouâve always been playing with me, right? Heng, Iâve seen through it all along.â Duan Xinhe said with an icy tone.
Chu Muâs heart was pumping incredibly fast already. Duan Xinheâs killing intent was overpowering. Maybe in the next second, he would die. A feeling of being this close to death was something that even Chu Mu experienced rarely in the past, especially one caused by a ninth phase invisible Gluttonous Insect MonsterâŚâŚ
Chu Muâs mind spun quickly. He needed to stay calm- he had to force himself to stay calm. If he just delayed for some more time, the Cyan Hidden Dragon will escape from its shell. Death may be in the next moment, but Chu Mu had to delay it no matter what. Chu Mu wasnât willing to just die like this!
âIâll show you one last thing. Seeing this thing, youâll know I wasnât playing you.â Finally, Chu Mu spoke. If it werenât up to such a situation, Chu Mu definitely wouldnât make such a decision.
âYou think Iâll still believe your nonsense? Are you going to pull out some shell of the Cyan Hidden Dragon egg next?â Duan Xinhe mocked.
âCyan Hidden Dragon Egg!â Chu Mu said heavily.
The Cyan Hidden Dragon Egg. Other than using it to delay his death, Chu Mu truly couldnât think of anything else.
Of course, Chu Mu knew that, even if he gave the Cyan Hidden Dragon egg inside his spatial ring to Duan Xinhe, he would still die in the end. Displaying the Cyan Hidden Dragon Egg of course was to delay as much time as possible!
âRidiculous, you with the Cyan Hidden Dragon egg? Seems like you truly make me out to be a fool that can be easily tricked.â Duan Xinheâs face became twisted. At this moment, a powerful gaze of killing intent shot came from Duan Xinhe straight to Chu Muâs heart, causing Chu Muâs heart to turn icy cold!
âSee for yourself.â Chu Mu took a deep breath and, after making himself calmer, he opened his spatial ring and carefully pulled the egg that the Empyrean Cyan Hidden Dragon had split.
The cyan dragon egg was the size of two of Chu Muâs palms. It was even heavier than many high density rocks. From the outside, it seemed just like a cyan pebble was covered in a layer of cyan snake skin, revealing a special scent of a Cyan Hidden Dragon.
âThis isâŚâŚâ Duan Xinhe paused, looking completely surprised at the Cyan Hidden Dragon egg in Chu Muâs hand.
Duan Xinheâs distinguishing abilities were very powerful. From the soul pet eggâs outer shape to the special aura, Duan Xinhe could immediately judge its authenticity, so the moment Chu Mu took the Cyan Hidden Dragon egg out, Duan Xinhe was subdued.
Waves of ecstasy started hitting Duan Xinheâs heart. At this moment, Duan Xinhe even forgot to ask how Chu Mu came to have it. His shaking hands were already extended to try to take it from Chu Mu.
Chu Mu was holding the Cyan Hidden Dragon egg, yet his heart felt as if it was convulsing terribly. This was an egg that the Empyrean Cyan Hidden Dragon had split off. It was the symbol of complete trust from the Empyrean Cyan Hidden Dragon. Yet, Chu Mu was using this trust in exchange for a short extension of his life. Such action clearly made Chu Muâs heart grieve.
Duan Xinhe already extended his hand. That hand was slowly rubbing the dragon egg. His yellow eyes were beaming with excitement, as if he wanted to eat the Hidden Dragon Egg whole. Excitement, greed, and a need for ownership were displayed completely.
âSisisisi~~~~sisisi~~~~~~~~~~~â
Just as Duan Xinhe was about to carry the Hidden Dragon egg, the Gluttonous Insect Monster behind Chu Mu let out a string of warning sounds!
Duan Xinheâs reaction was very quick. His gaze immediately locked onto the direction his soul pet was signalling at.
Chu Muâs reaction was even faster. No matter if he could finish his half devil in such a short time, Chu Mu had to escape immediately!
âHouhou!!!!!!!!!!â
Suddenly, a loud roar came from behind Chu Muâs back. Immediately after, from the darkness, a majestic soul pet covered in black fur jumped out. Its body was a black blur, heavily slamming into the Gluttonous Insect Monster behind Chu Mu.
The ninth phase Gluttonous Insect Monster didnât detect this organism that could also merge into the darkness. Its small size meant it was immediately sent flying by the black soul pet.
âChu Mu, quick!!â A girlâs worried voice quickly sounded in Chu Muâs mental world.
âQingziâŚâŚâChu Mu first felt a wave of joy, but it was quickly followed by a wave of worry. But, he couldnât think much now, as he quickly chanted an incantation!
Displacement Specter!
White demonic devil flames abruptly sprouted from beneath Chu Muâs feet. These flames were already sending off clear soul burning effects. When Duan Xinhe was about to mentally control Chu Mu, because of Ye Qingziâs sudden action, when he released his soul remembrance, he clearly felt the soul burning power of the white demonic devil flames!
