Chapter 366: Chapter 242: Infinite Danger Event (Chapter Number Correction)

Translator: 549690339

Intelligent and ferocious creatures!

They were terrifying enough to target the city guards, using the lives of common people to set up traps, and treat the soul pet groups responsible for protecting the city as food.

Such horrifying groups of creatures lived in a city decorated with beautiful flowers, lurking in the bustling streets and alleys where people came and went. When walking at night, or dreaming, they could brush past you. Whether they took your life or not depended on their terrifying schemes…

Chu Mu’s mood was heavy. He had seen death before, but the intelligence of these creatures made him shudder, just like the horrific Zhehuang that had suddenly arrived…

Ye Qingzi wanted to say something, but remembering the gruesome scene from before, a wave of indescribable emotions welled up in her heart, and she could only silently follow Chu Mu.

The next day, the news was buried under the city officials’ cover-up.

Last night, a total of 100 city guards and 10 aerial guards, including 300 civilians used as bait, all perished within the city. This could be regarded as the most shocking bloodbath in the history of Li City!

However, these appalling news were ruthlessly suppressed by Li City officials with the most direct force, ultimately rumored to be a group of underground Soul Pet Masters fighting in Central City West Street, resulting in many casualties.

“Three days. In three days, solve this case and find the culprit. Clean it up, or else I will throw you to the Central West Street to spend a night!” The City General, who was in charge of Li City’s security, angrily slammed the table, issuing a military order to the Central City District Chief Officer.

Li Gu, the Central City District Chief Officer, was also trembling with fear. The Central Street civilian area was not a real district of Li City, so it didn’t receive enough attention, even when something occurred. The District Chief Officer would usually suppress the news and handle it privately.

Li Gu, the Central City District Chief Officer, had thought it was just some desperate criminals causing trouble, and by sending some city guards to patrol, the issue would be resolved. However, he did not expect such a horrifying event, an astonishing tragedy happening within the city district.

Standing next to the Central City District Chief Officer Li Gu, was the Deputy Captain of the Sky Guards, Dongqing, who looked awful after not sleeping all night.

Yesterday, Dongqing swapped shifts with another vice captain and went back early to rest, so he wasn’t among the ten aerial guards. This allowed him to escape death by a fluke, but also to lose several of his comrades. The heavy lingering sadness has enveloped him since receiving the news last night, pushing him to the verge of an emotional outbreak.

After the City General left, District Chief Officer Li Gu escorted him out, only to return shortly after, sitting back in his seat with a gloomy expression.

This hall was now filled with all city guards and aerial guard deputy captains and above. Everyone was silent, unable to speak a word.

Li Gu let out a long sigh, and after a while, spoke: “Li City is now in a state of high alert, and the situation is indeed severe. We really don’t have enough manpower to spare. We don’t even know what kind of creatures committed the murders, let alone how many of them there are. So we need to invite some hunters to help us.”

“Zhang Shi, issue a few bounties with a base reward of one million to find some capable individuals to help us. The other team leaders can lead their teams, with ten people per team, to patrol Central City West Street…” said District Chief Officer Li Gu.

“Yes!” All the team leaders solemnly saluted.

“Wait.” At this moment, Chu Mu, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

It was Chu Mu who had informed Dongqing of the news and controlled the situation before it spread. Chu Mu was also present at the city officials’ meeting.

Li Gu looked at Chu Mu in confusion, asking, “Who are you?”

“This is the Soul Pet Master who informed us of the news.” Dongqing introduced.

Li Gu glanced at Dongqing. The only thing Li Gu was grateful for in this tragedy was that Dongqing was not on the list of the deceased, otherwise, the situation would have been even more serious.

“Rescind the order you just gave. It’s not right to rashly dispatch every small team to West Street to investigate when we don’t understand the enemy’s numbers or hiding methods.” Chu Mu said in a serious tone.

“”Are we, as the city guards for an entire district, still worried?” The deputy officer of the district frowned and said.

The city general had given them only three days to resolve the matter, and now they had no clues at all. These city officials were under tremendous pressure, and without carpet-searching, what other solutions could there be?

“Those things lure city guards with the lives of ordinary people, and then take all city guards’ soul pets as food. This shows their intelligence is very high. If a large number of personnel are sent to search West Street now, there will be three results: the first is to find some clues, find their lair, and then fight these soul pets. If this is the result, we should also consider how many of these vicious creatures inhabit West Street and whether your men can eliminate them. If they can, the matter will be settled; if they can’t, it will breed a batch of even more terrifying executioners, making the situation worse.” Chu Mu said.

When Chu Mu said this, everyone’s eyes fell on him.

“This first possibility is relatively low because these soul pets have been hiding for so many days, they must have a special way of hiding. Moreover, I fought against those things the day before yesterday, being nearly chased for half a block. Even with my soul sense, I couldn’t understand their hiding method. If everyone here has reached the Soul Lord level, then a carpet search can begin.”

“You are a Soul Lord?” The people showed surprise.

“Yeah.” Chu Mu nodded.

A twenty-year-old Soul Lord was very rare in the world of soul pets. At first, everyone thought it was rather inexplicable for a young man who was not a member of the city guards to suddenly come out and make big claims. But when Chu Mu revealed his strength, everyone was more serious after the initial surprise. 𝗳r𝚎e𝘄𝐞b𝚗𝗼ve𝚕.co𝗺

“This is Chu Chen, a wandering Soul Pet Master. This is his friend, Spirit Master Ye Qingzi. They know something about those vicious creatures who attacked our comrades-in-arms, so let’s listen to their analysis before making a decision.” Dongqing also showed surprise for Chu Mu’s level, but quickly introduced Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi.

“The day before yesterday I encountered them, and they can become invisible. I think it’s this terrifying ability that caused your men to perish. The invisibility can’t be detected by the soul sense of a Soul Lord like me; I only noticed them because of my Dark Attribute Demon Spirit Night Thunder Dream Beast. Therefore, I wouldn’t advise you to search.” Chu Mu continued.

“A Dream Beast with double attributes of Thunder and Darkness!”

When Chu Mu mentioned the name of his soul pet, there were several murmurs of admiration. Among the deputy team leaders present were soul pet masters who knew that Dream Beasts’ perception abilities ranked second among demon spirits. If only the Night Thunder Dream Beast could detect these soul pets, then their carpet search might not be of any use.

“I mentioned three situations just now. In the second case, if their intelligence allows them to hide effectively, then when they see you taking large-scale actions, they will lay low for a while if they are not strong enough. When you let your guard down, they will launch an attack again…”

“The third case, they are stronger than you, and you should understand what this means…”

After Chu Mu said this, everyone felt chills rising, especially when he mentioned the third result!

“It’s not that terrifying, is it? We have at least 500 people and a thousand soul pets…” The deputy officer’s words became somewhat discouraged.

All team leaders were silent for a moment. Thinking of how more than a hundred city guards were killed without even being able to send a signal, combined with Chu Mu’s mention of the invisibility ability of those soul pets, they suddenly felt that this possibility could be true.

“Not that the entire army will be wiped out, but the price to pay will be more tragic than yesterday. It is recommended to gather a larger force or have the Li City Lord send a more elite team to help. These things increase their strength by eating the flesh, blood, soul cores, and soul crystals of strong ones. If too many people are sent without understanding what they are dealing with, there’s a possibility that we’re just feeding them. This issue is not something that can be solved by simply having more people…” Chu Mu said.

“What can we do then? The city general has made it clear that there are not enough personnel to invest in this matter…” City officer Li Gu looked even more distressed, his eyes purposely landing on Dongqing.

“Indeed, there’s no way to mobilize more personnel.” Dongqing gave a definite answer.

Chu Mu looked at Dongqing, feeling very strange. Why was the Li City so stingy when such a tragedy had occurred? Didn’t the Li City Lord and the city general value the lives of these hundred people?

Dongqing saw Chu Mu’s confusion and replied with a bitter smile: “This matter cannot be divulged. In short, we have to rely on the people in this area to solve it. Brother Chu Chen, since you have analyzed this matter thoroughly, what should we do? The city general has allocated 50 million funds for us to use. We’ll issue a reward with a base price of 10 million. Since you understand these things, we hope you can accept this reward because we really don’t have any clues…”

Chu Mu hesitated for a moment. He had initially planned to accept this reward since he needed a large sum of money to strengthen his soul pets, but it seemed that this matter was not that simple. He questioned whether he could handle it.

“Let me try. But if the danger is too high, I’d rather have you ask an expert to handle it…” Chu Mu reluctantly agreed to accept the reward in the end.

“Thank you so much! On behalf of my deceased comrades, I bow to you!” Dongqing bowed very solemnly to Chu Mu.

Taking on such an infinitely dangerous task, the team leaders were extremely impressed with Chu Mu. When Dongqing bowed, the team leaders also paid a simple respectful salute. (To be continued.
