Supreme Tamer-Chapter 487 - 360: Mad Scorpions on Four Sides, Sand Bone Basin

Chapter 487: Chapter 360: Mad Scorpions on Four Sides, Sand Bone Basin

“Sir Palace Official, someone is coming.” A man dressed in blue opened his mouth and said, looking about thirty years old with a stubbled chin.

The Soul Pet Master referred to as Sir Palace Official simply glanced in the direction where Chu Mu was running before he said after a moment: “It should be a Soul Pet Master wandering nearby. They might want to help us deal with these Desert Mad Edge Scorpions. Shan Jing, you go ask…”

Shan Jing nodded his head and rode a Thunder Sword Wing Lion towards Chu Mu’s direction.

Chu Mu soon saw the imposing purple Thunder Sword Wing Lion approaching. He immediately sent his Battle Leopard to meet him, and asked first: “Are you here for the Bounty?”

“Yes, we are a bounty hunting team, led by Sir Guo Zhan from Soul Pet Palace. I am Shan Jing from Soul Hall…” Shan Jing didn’t beat around the bush and started to inquire about identity.

It was common for Soul Pet Masters to form teams when they were out, but understanding each other’s identities was crucial for building trust when they didn’t know each other.

“Palace Official, isn’t that an eighth-level title from Soul Pet Palace?” Chu Mu secretly thought, while also handing over his own sixth-level title for Shan Jing to look at.

“Chu Chen, Soul Hall Assistant.” Chu Mu said.

“Assistant, a sixth-level title?” A hint of puzzlement appeared on Shan Jing’s face. As a member of Soul Hall, he obviously knew the title system of Soul Hall, and he knew Chu Mu’s title rank when Chu Mu reported his identity.

Titles to some extent represented strength, and bounties were distributed based on title levels.

This was the Eighth-level Mysterious Realm, and those who dared to come here must have had at least an eighth-level title. Moreover, many inexperienced Soul Pet Masters with an eighth-level title would still bring along additional members to increase the safety factor.

This team was like that, with Guo Zhan, an Eighth-Level title Palace Official, as the leader, while the other members held a seventh-level title from other forces.

“You dare to enter here with just a sixth-level title?” Shan Jing’s tone became heavier as he was a Soul Hall Seventh Rank Executioner.

“What is your purpose in coming here?” Chu Mu knew that the feeling of being underestimated would only be explained if he showed his true strength, so he didn’t mind Shan Jing’s tone.

“We are here to explore the way, trying to find a way to enter the Rear Desert Area. However, we need to first cross the territory of these Desert Mad Edge Scorpions.” Shan Jing said.

“I see, I’m here to collect the poison of the Desert Mad Edge Scorpions,” Chu Mu directly expressed his purpose.

“Oh…” Shan Jing appeared rather unenthusiastic.

Since they were forming a team, they expected members with equal strength. Shan Jing realized that this guy might have recklessly accepted a seventh-level bounty and then ran into the Eighth-level Mysterious Realm unexpectedly. If his strength was too weak, he would just be a burden to the others.

“Come to the team, there are more and more Desert Mad Edge Scorpions around here.” Shan Jing hesitated for a while but eventually invited Chu Mu to join the team.

Chu Mu nodded without saying much and drove his Battle Leopard towards the team.

The sandstorm surged like waves, on the ground, sand dunes, and buried pits, grey-armored scorpions were already sprawling everywhere, probably around four to five hundred in number.

The majority of these four to five hundred Desert Mad Edge Scorpions were of the seventh rank. If this Soul Pet team was comprised of seventh-level title holders and led by an eighth-level titled Team Leader, then dealing with these Desert Mad Edge Scorpions should not be too difficult.

“Join the battle and protect yourself as much as possible.” Shan Jing glanced at the Desert Mad Edge Scorpions that had already entered the basin and told Chu Mu.

“Yeah.” Chu Mu nodded, looking around to find that the four Soul Pet Masters were all standing within the protection circle of their Soul Pets.

After Shan Jing returned to the team, he used Soul Sense to tell the other three people in the team: “This kid is called Chu Chen, a Soul Hall Assistant with a sixth-level title. His strength is probably average, but let’s just reluctantly take him along to avoid any mishaps while he wanders around here alone.”

“Oh, just let him join, what’s wrong with young people nowadays, everyone is fearless and reckless. The Front Sand Domain is only safer than the Wasteland because it’s vast, but if you accidentally step into a place you shouldn’t, you’ll still die.” The mustached Li He in blue clothes spoke.

Team Leader Guo Zhan didn’t express any opinions, but just glanced at the female Soul Pet Master in the team and said: “Qingqing, pay attention to him.”

The female Soul Pet Master, Qingqing, appeared to be twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old but had a playful and charming face. Seeing that Chu Mu was much younger, she said with a smile: “Team Leader, rest assured, I’ll take good care of this little brother.”

“Hopeless, the moment she sees a handsome guy, she gets excited, and even someone much younger won’t escape her attention.” Li He with the stubble laughed.

Qingqing gave Li He a charming glare.

“Stop fooling around, get into battle state.” Team Leader Guo Zhan spoke up.

After that, Team Leader Guo Zhan cast a glance at Chu Mu and asked: “Which position do you prefer?”

By now, almost every Soul Pet Master had about ten soul pets, and there must be some of them with more exceptional strength. At this time, the team would choose a battle position based on these exceptional soul pets. The so-called position referred to the battle orientation, mainly attacking, assisting attack, assisting, defending, controlling…

“Control and support attack, I guess.” Chu Mu answered.

“Alright, summon two Soul Pets then, so as not to waste Soul Power and their combat abilities,” Team Leader Guo Zhan said.

Chu Mu nodded, recited the spell, and summoned the Demon Tree Warrior.

Blood-green roots stretched out from the sandy ground, quickly intertwined, forming the blood wood battle armor of Demon Tree Warrior. Soon after, the main body of the Demon Tree Warrior appeared from within the battle armor!

“Gro

After being tempered by blood amber, the Demon Tree Warrior became increasingly fond of fighting. Discovering the presence of four to five hundred Desert Mad Edge Scorpions in the area, the Demon Tree Warrior excitedly let out a roar!

As Chu Mu was summoning the Demon Tree Warrior, the swarm of Desert Mad Edge Scorpions had already pounced. The team of four took a quick glance at Chu Mu’s Demon Tree Warrior, soon focusing their attention on the Desert Mad Edge Scorpions.

At the forefront were the Seventh-rank Desert Mad Edge Scorpions. These slightly weaker insect-type Soul Pets were clearly under orders from higher-ranked Desert Mad Edge Scorpions, charging towards the higher-ranked Soul Pets of the team with complete disregard for their own lives.

Wild sand churned like tidal waves, countless sand waves crashing, and razor-sharp scorpion pincers and tail hooks were gleaming under the blazing sun. In an instant, an immense insect-type aura enveloped the sand, and the four Soul Pet Masters commanded their Soul Pets to engage the Seventh-rank Desert Mad Edge Scorpions in battle.

“Little Brother Chu Chen, isn’t your Demon Tree Warrior a bit too far forward? There are over thirty Seventh-rank Desert Mad Edge Scorpions there, don’t let your Soul Pet get ripped apart by accident,” Qingqing casually said, focusing her attention on Chu Mu’s Soul Pet as soon as the battle began.

Seventh-rank Desert Mad Edge Scorpions can’t even break the Demon Tree Warrior’s defense. Chu Mu could toss the Demon Tree Warrior directly into a swarm of several hundred Seventh-rank Desert Mad Edge Scorpions without any concerns, let alone the fact that the Demon Tree Warrior also possessed Life Siphon.

The strength of this particular team was not weak, as a hundred Seventh-rank Desert Mad Edge Scorpions didn’t pose any threat to them.

Not long after the battle commenced, most of the hundred Desert Mad Edge Scorpions had been killed.

The second wave of Desert Mad Edge Scorpions consisted mainly of Seventh-rank ones as well. This time, Qingqing and Shan Jing’s Wind Soul Pets launched fierce wind attacks on the Desert Mad Edge Scorpions when they were over two hundred meters away.

Of the two hundred meter distance, only one-third of the Seventh-rank Desert Mad Edge Scorpions were able to breach into close range of the team, which were quickly torn apart by everyone’s Beast Soul Pets.

“If it’s just these creatures, then this place called the Sand Bone Basin isn’t as dangerous as we thought,” Qingqing said with a laugh.

“Don’t underestimate them. This place isn’t as simple as you think,” Team Leader Guo Zhan warned calmly.

“When I was standing on that sand dune just now, I saw other Desert Mad Edge Scorpions rushing over from various directions. From their size, most of them are at the Eighth-rank, with some Ninth-rank ones. If my estimate is correct, behind these Seventh-rank Desert Mad Edge Scorpions are those creatures,” Chu Mu said.

When Chu Mu looked down at the vast basin, he saw countless Desert Mad Edge Scorpions wriggling. The Seventh-rank Desert Mad Edge Scorpions they are currently facing are definitely just a small part of this Insect Legion.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?!” Li He glared at Chu Mu.

“I thought you knew and purposely stayed in this area,” Chu Mu replied indifferently.

Team Leader Guo Zhan immediately furrowed his brows. They were now deep in the basin, their line of sight partially obstructed by small sand dunes, so they hadn’t realized that there were so many Desert Mad Edge Scorpions surrounding them.

Their main goal was to pass through this area, not to wipe out all the Desert Mad Edge Scorpions in the basin.

“Which direction has the least amount of Desert Mad Edge Scorpions?” Guo Zhan asked.

“Zhi zhi zhi zhi”

Just as Guo Zhan asked the question, the sounds of countless scorpions around them answered him because the gray wriggling bodies covering the small sand dunes were extremely dense, with no sparse areas at all.

“Damn it, do we defend or break out?” Li He asked somewhat agitatedly.

“Defend, it’s about to get dark, and these creatures will naturally dissipate,” Team Leader Guo Zhan decided promptly.

“Team Leader, with this kind of defense, we need to form a four-position formation. If Qingqing assists us, that leaves three directions for us to guard. We can’t let this kid take care of the last direction,” Li He bluntly said without avoiding the subject.

Team Leader Guo Zhan also furrowed his brows and began to think.

Qingqing looked at the approaching Desert Mad Edge Scorpions, her previously playful demeanor gone, replaced by a more serious expression.

Shan Jing’s face wasn’t looking too good either. This kind of battle was unfavorable for them because if the Desert Mad Edge Scorpions broke through their defenses, the Soul Pet Masters themselves would be in some danger since there were too many Desert Mad Edge Scorpions.

“I’ll guard the west side.”

Chu Mu calmly broke the brief silence. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest driving force.)
