Chapter 357: Spoils of War After a b.l.o.o.d.y Fight
The stars were few and the moonlight was hazy. In the barren desert, the only striking thing were the smears of blood.
Zhan Ye and Night had already been recalled by Chu Mu back into the soul pet s.p.a.ce. Chu Mu was resting against the broken wall; his exhausted soul power prevented him from mustering the strength to stand. Adding on the excessive blood that flowed from his wound, after these seven days and seven nights, Chu Mu felt abnormally tired.
Chu Mu had exhausted his soul power. Soul power came from the soul and his present soul was in an extremely weak state. Thus, he could only rest here and slowly recover.
Chu Mu’s soul pets had exhausted their fighting strength. When Zhan Ye and the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s battle ended, Chu Mu gave them an eighth level healing medication before they pa.s.sed out in his soul pet s.p.a.ce. It would probably be three days and three nights before they would awake.
Mo Xie’s situation wasn’t optimistic either, but she had to continue persevering, because if she entered the soul pet s.p.a.ce, Chu Mu would have no protection beside him. Being in these circ.u.mstances were dangerous for a soul pet trainer.
The corpses of terror wolves were strewn not far from Chu Mu. The fight was won, but after the fight, Chu Mu simply didn’t have any intentions of collecting his spoils of war at all. The only thing he wanted to do was deal with his soul pets’ wounds first, and have them return to the soul pet s.p.a.ce dripping in blood to recuperate. Then, he would close his eyes and rest, slowly filling his soul.
"Wu wu wu~~~~" Mo Xie maintained her Nine Tail Inferno Fox stat,e and her furry long tails were spread out on the ground, dyed with blood. She then casually wrapped them around Chu Mu and had him lie back in the furry tails.
"Sleep. This place should be relatively safe before there’s light in the sky." Chu Mu rubbed Mo Xie’s fluffy ears as he spoke.
"Wu~~~~~" Mo Xie lifted her head and her slippery tongue slowly licked the deep b.l.o.o.d.y scars on Chu Mu’s arm. She used her saliva to heal Chu Mu’s wounds.
Walking into a territory of wolves was outside of Chu Mu’s budget as the medicine he had brought this time had already been all used. Chu Mu himself used mental force while his soul pets had engaged in close combat; therefore, wounds weren’t as significant to him.
"Don’t fret, I’ll recover very quickly." Chu Mu knew what Mo Xie wanted to say and smiled with gratification.
The half devil transformation gave Chu Mu the benefit of making his body quality stronger. Chu Mu still had a few b.l.o.o.d.y wounds on his body, but even without the use of medicine, they were still insignificant. Having his high temperature soul continuously burning him made it so that the present pain was practically negligible.
"Wu~~~" Mo Xie listened to his words and closed his eyes. Mo Xie was truly extremely exhausted. In these seventh days and nights, she had fought the longest, and killed the most Terror Wolves. When Chu Mu pacified her and had her sleep, Mo Xie curled up and slept next to him.
This time, he had truly, in all senses of the phrase, lost all fighting strength. Whilst sitting in the expansive wasteland, Chu Mu slowly opened his eyes. His deep black pupils stared at the darkness in the distant horizon. At this moment, both him and his soul pets were unprecedentedly tired and worn…
[TL: Author does this a lot where he makes up words. 苍然 technically isn’t a word in Chinese dictionaries…]
"Hu hu hu hu~~~~~~"
As it approached dawn, the night wind began to turn colder and brought various specks of sand that slapped Chu Mu’s face.
Sitting under the broken wall, his black pupils looked like a lone wolf in the darkness. He knew where he needed to go next.
Yet, in reality, going somewhere was but a habit for Chu Mu. He would habitually continue walking forward and habitually continue becoming stronger. When he sat bruised and battered in an unfamiliar place, a few emotions that he innately had but intentionally hid would surge out, causing him to sink into silent contemplation…
……
When the hazy rays of dawn emerged in the horizon, Chu Mu was in a state of half sleep and he maintained this dazed state for a while.
