Chapter 1266: Yellow Spring Road: Ancient Raccoon Man

Chu Mu’s emotions were tumultuous.

The rip in his soul pact caused Chu Mu to feel painful tearing in his soul as if a person were ripping it apart!

He really thought that Night had died. He was following Night’s steps to know just where it had fallen.

However, what caused Chu Mu to be elated was Night didn’t fall down. It was standing right in front of him!

On Tianxia Plain, Night’s running back image caused Chu Mu to tear up. Now that he saw night again, he felt a wave of excitement wash over him and his eyes were again wettened.

Chu Mu extended a hand to rub Night’s Dream horn.

Today, night’s dream horn was very mature with an intricate arc and complicated spirals.

Even Chu Mu couldn’t remember how many years its been since he rubbed this smooth dream horn. He had brought it off of an island in eternal ocean and stepped onto the vast continent.

They fought through Luo Region together, passed through Great Chu Family, crossed Western Realm, ran around Li City during the competition, stepped through Tianxia city under the moonlight......

Run, go beyond limits, stroll through moonlight, dart through the darkness- Night was an elegant dancer of the night, as well as a demon adept at controlling the dream realm.

Chu Mu rubbed its dream horn, touched its forehead, and stroked its neck.

He touched its malevolent red markings. Chu Mu remembered clearly that Night had a coat of soft black fur. This blood red marking didn’t belong to it.

“What are these?” Old Li pointed at the blood red marks and suddenly felt a feeling of death pass through his entire body.

“Hui~~~~” Night let out a call, not letting Chu Mu touch the markings.

Suddenly, Night turned around, its white tail swaying in the darkness.

Chu Mu blanked briefly and before he could react, Night suddenly disappeared into the darkness, its white feather like tail flashing past like a bolt of lightning.

Chu Mu wanted to chase after it, but he couldn’t feel any mental waves.

With the soul pact broken, Chu Mu couldn’t detect Night’s emotions nor detect its location. Chu Mu stood in place blankly as he watched Night swiftly disappear. He stared into the darkness absentmindedly.

“Night didn’t die, but why did our soul pact break.” Chu Mu said to himself, lost.

At such a rank, Chu Mu had a deeper understanding of the relationship between soul pet trainer and their soul pet.

Soul pets weren’t a soul pet trainer’s final servant. Many soul pets have to get through a weak phase. After they get stronger, they will still finally decide to return to their own place and sever their contract with their human.

This was demon burial mound, Night’s true belonging. He brought night out from that island in eternal ocean long ago. Night didn’t die but broke their contract. Did this mean that Night wanted to stay in this demon burial mound?

Chu Mu didn’t chase after it because he never would have thought a soul pet he spent day and night for years would choose to leave him.

“Chu Mu..... is that yellow spring.... Is it really your soul pet?” Chao Lengchuan came by Chu Mu and asked.

Xu Kuang and the others also walked by. They similarly couldn’t believe this fourth protector, Yellow Spring, was the soul pet Chu Mu was looking for. However, didn’t chu Mu say it failed its challenge already?

Princess Jin Rou stared at Chu Mu. She was using mind reading to understand Chu Mu’s emotions, but Chu Mu’s emotions were so complicated even Princess Jin Rou couldn’t describe it.

“What’s happening. Is the Yellow Spring Chu Mu’s soul pet, and why did it suddenly leave?” Chao Lengchuan saw Chu Mu not reply and turned to Princess Jin Rou.

“It once was. Before Chu Mu became a devil in Tianixa City, he sent three of his soul pets away. Now that he has awakened, two of those three came back, which were Zhan Ye and little Hidden Dragon. Only this Night Thunder Dream Beast remained outside. This time coming out, Chu Mu wanted to find it and get it back. However, the moment he got to the demon burial mound, he felt his soul pact break.....” Princess Jin Rou said.

This was all what Princess Jin Rou heard from Ye Qingzi, the events that happened after Tianxia City’s events.

“Longlonglong~~~~ Gegege~~~~~~~”

The cave and yellow spring road started shaking violently.

This massive shaking awakened all the unconscious members. They all thought they were dead already but woke up to being dragged around by a Devil Tree Battle Soldier.

“Corpse army!!!”

Suddenly, a navy member yelled out!

Having just awoken to face the corpse army, they panickly rode their soul pets towards where Chu Mu was standing!

The great leader Xu Kuang heard the noise behind and furrowed his brows.

If the Yellow Spring really were Chu Mu’s soul pet, they still had a sliver of chance. However, if the Yellow Spring didn’t let them pass the Yellow Spring Road, everyone here would have to die!

“Great leader..... Great leader..... They’re coming!”

“They’re about to be here!!”

The navy all yelled out in fear!

They quickly congregated around Xu Kuang. Xu Kuang glanced deep into Yellow Spring road and found that its figure already was gone. Immediately, he tried to bring everyone through the yellow spring road.

However, at this moment, Yellow spring’s black body appeared again!

Xu Kuang paused slightly. After understanding how powerful the yellow spring was, he didn’t dare walk anymore forward.

Facing the corpse army, they may be able to defend for a while, but they would instantly collapse in front of this Yellow Spring.

Night appeared in front of Chu Mu. After glancing at Chu Mu, it suddenly sped up past everyone towards the corpse army.

“It wants to stop the corpse army for us.” Princess Jin Rou captured Night’s thoughts and quickly said to Chu Mu.

Chu Mu nodded but gazed straight forward.

Night appeared again and Chu Mu saw a shadow

Chu Mu remembered that after the shadow beast was defeated, an extremely fast figure appeared to save the shadow beast.

At first, Chu Mu thought it may be Forgotten Creek or Yellow Spring. Now, he knew there clearly was a fifth protector on this road!

This figure was walking towards Chu Mu and was getting closer......

“Humans, you shouldn’t have come here.....”

Suddenly, an ancient voice came from ahead!

Chu Mu, Xu Kuang, Hai Qie, Chao Lengchuan, Xia Zhixian, and Sang Ying were all stunned as their gaze fell on the figure walking over.

It was an organism that knew the human language!

A short figure with a wooden stick and a strange robe walked over. It looked like an ancient man, short and skinny.

It slowly walked out of the darkness. Chao Lengchuan, Xia Zhixian, and Sang Ying’s expressions immeidately changed because they noticed that it is very similar to the Old Li that always follows Chu Mu around!

Raccoon head, short body, short limbs. Other than being slightly older than Old Li, it really was similar in many regards.

Chu Mu was also shocked!

This was just an older Old Li!

Chu Mu always thought that Old Li was a unique creature, yet an organism just like Old Li had just appeared.

“Old Li....” Chu Mu tried to call Old Li out.

Strangely, Old Li didn’t appear.

Usually, Old Li always hid in one of Chu Mu’s spatial rings, whether it was a soul capture ring or just a spatial ring, but for some reason Chu Mu couldn’t find him no matter what, as if he disappeared into thin air.

“No need to be confused. Your human language isn’t a hard one to learn.” The ancient raccoon man walked before them.

“You.... you’re a protector here? Those texts were written by you?” Xu Kuang asked with surprise.

This was the demon burial mound island. Those words definitely had to be written by those who know ancient human civilization. Xu Kuang was confused at first about where those texts came from too.

“Yes, because I noticed more and more humans trying to get through demon burial mound.” The ancient Raccoon Man said.

After speaking, Old Li looked at where the corpse armies came from. Seeming to feel everyones’ anxiety, it smiled, “Don’t worry, yellow spring won’t let those corpses get near. All of you follow me if you don’t want to die.....”

As they spoke, the ancient raccoon man walked forward with short steps deeper into Yellow Springs Road.

For some reason, the road seemed much shorter with the ancient raccoon man leading the way. It wasn’t too long when they arrived at a light screen!

This light screen came down from the top of the cave, causing the entire cave to be bright!

At the center of the light screen was a rock. This rock had an arced crown on top of it!!

“The demon crown!” Xu Kuang stared at the crown and said excitedly.

Old Li looked around and let out a light laugh, “Don’t even think about the demon crown. You lost already and don’t deserve it.”

The great leader xu Kuang opened his mouth for a moment before shutting it again.

Compared to the demon crown, Xu Kuang was more worried about how they were going to leave this place. He wasn’t going to let the entire army die here!

“Alright, stay here. Don’t walk into places the screen covers either.” The ancient raccoon man said.

They all did as he said. After all, they had lost severely after the battles.

“Second Demon Burial Mound is a path onto immortality. Any organism can come to challenge it, including humans.” Ancient raccoon man leaped onto a rock and said to everyone.

“This road has a large corpse army. They aren’t just any organism; they are the failed attemptors of the challenge. Presumably you have noticed that there are also human corpses amongst the army......”

Hearing this, the members all sucked in a breath. If they had died before, would they also become thoughtless corpses with no memory or consciousness apart from devouring flesh?
