The Charm of Soul Pets

Chapter 1516: Exile Ocean

Exile Ocean was famous for being a dangerous ocean region. The weather in this ocean region was very strange. The tides did not follow any patterns. There would often be tsunamis, underwater volcano eruptions and thunderstorms.

This ocean region was unsuitable for living creatures, especially those young soul pets. Even with the protection from their parents, mortality rate was several times of other ocean regions.

Furthermore, there were usually savage creatures which would kill and devour the weak on sight living in such ocean regions. It resulted in Ocean Species unable to rule over this ocean region even now.

As such, this place became Exile Ocean. When there were individuals which never abided by the laws and committed grave sins, they would mostly be thrown into this Exile Ocean where there was no governance.

Speaking of which, Calamity Ocean Demon’s ability was certainly outstanding. It was totally like an evil boss. It could even govern a barbarous place like Exile Ocean.

In fact, while Calamity Ocean Demon was fighting against East Ocean, it expanded its forces by constantly occupying such ocean regions. Its persuasive ability was really comparable to some human evil cults.

Exile Ocean was in the north of East Ocean. It was a little close to Northern Barren Insect Dynasty’s territory.

If Chu Mu flew to there, it should take about ten days.

Without Night around, Chu Mu certainly felt tired running by himself. Even if his full speed was faster than Night, his stamina could not hold a candle to Night.

Recalling Elder Li’s words, Chu Mu felt a little relieved. Elder Li’s medicine would not only remove the corpsification of Night, it was also greatly beneficial to Night’s wanderer bloodline. While Chu Mu was with Ocean Species, Elder Li would conduct training for Night in his place.

Heavenly Realm was the kingdom of Demon Species, Night would surely receive better training there than to run around with him in this ocean.

He could tell just how much of a headache this ocean was by looking at Mo Xie’s condition. While it usually loved to nap on Chu Mu’s shoulder, once they were at the ocean. It was resolute in sleeping in its soul pet space. It would refuse to come out if they were not on land. It had sleepy eyes the whole day and would cry and whimper like a spoiled girl when it was able to come out for a short while every day.

Chu Mu originally intended to let Mo Xie stay with Night in Demonic Mound to train. However, in that case, three soul pet slots would be occupied.

Evil Good Queen took up one slot all day round, Night took up one as it needed to train in Demonic Moung. If Mo Xie was also added, Chu Mu’s summoning ability was going to be about the same as a Spirit Soldier despite being a Spirit Immortal. He could not afford to let that happen.

More importantly, Calamity Ocean Demon put up bounty everywhere to eliminate the busybody Chu Mu. He was about to head to Exile Ocean this time, which was Calamity Ocean Demon’s territory. If he did not have sufficient soul pet slots, he would also feel nervous.

“Big brother, are we visiting little Yellow Spring?” asked Ning Maner as she tilted her head.

“Yes, do you want to follow me or go back to New Moon Land?” asked Chu Mu.

Ning Maner had been following him all the time during this period. She ran around with Chu Mu amongst Ocean Species. The interesting thing was Ning Maner also took in an Ocean Lord as her protector. Chu Mu still could not tell the strength of that Ocean Lord, he heard from mermaid princess that it was an Ocean Lord with quite a story.

Ning Maner had a total of five protectors now. There was one wandering protector from Quiet Forest in Wupan Continent.

There was also a dragon race, but that he did not know where that dragon race was right now. Ning Maner said it should be at Myriad Heaven Dragon Abyss.

Then, it was the shadow protector which became Ning Maner’s shadow, following her all the time —— Dark Emperor.

Dark Emperor carried on the dying wish of its master, He Cang. It silently guarded Ning Maner in her shadow.

Next was the newly recruited Ocean Lord. This was the famous lord of warriors in Ocean Species. It was much stronger than Chu Mu after his half devil transformation. This made Chu Mu really frustrated. He had to put in so much effort for little Yellow Spring. Yet Ning Maner just casually made contact with that Ocean Lord and took it to stroll around a few ocean regions, and this Ocean Lord was already willing to become her protector......

The last one would be Chu Mu.

Chu Mu was different from the previous four protectors. He signed an equal soul pact with Ning Maner. He was also the first protector to sign a soul pact with her.

Rather than saying protector, it was more suitable to call him her guardian. After all, before Messiah Tree completely took shape, the responsibility of this guardian was much more important than the protector. Of course, once Ning Maner’s ability matured, Chu Mu would obtain the greatest benefit.

......

Chu Mu had seen chaotic ocean regions before. However, once he arrived at Exile Ocean and saw this murky ocean region, he felt a little helpless.

The ocean was dark blue in color, the water should be pure. Just like how humans liked cleanliness, Ocean Species similarly preferred the ocean to be clean. The water was like the air humans breathed.

If he had to describe just how dirty this Exile Ocean was, he could only compare it to a human city looming with dust and vile gas.

Be it the ocean surface or deep inside the ocean, there would be various things floating around. There were decomposing corpses, broken scales, poisonous seaweed, as well as kraken-like creatures which spat out ink-colored fluid.

Even the air above the ocean was shrouded in a weird smell. If any bird flew past, it would faint and fall into the ocean, adding another corpse trash into the dirty ocean.

In the region around East Ocean Coral City, the water did not contain any impurities. He could still see very far away after diving deep into the ocean.

However, in this Exile Ocean, Chu Mu honestly did not have the courage to dive down. It was no different from jumping into a mud pond.

“Little Yellow Spring is exiled into this place, it must be really pitiful,” said Ning Maner as she pinched her nose.

They could sympathize with the feeling of getting exiled from a beautiful, clean and luxurious city to this trash yard. Furthermore, they would not know if this dirty water was toxic or not. Creatures and plants living in such an environment were simply shaving away their lifespan.

“Big brother, where’s little Yellow Spring?” asked Ning Maner.

“Lan Qie said it was exiled to the Sea Obstinate Rock area in Exile Ocean. Let’s catch an Ocean Species to ask for the way,” said Chu Mu.

Chu Mu really had no courage to dive into this kind of ocean. He simply used his spatial ability to forcefully split the water under his feet into two!

The ocean was split apart by Chu Mu’s Spatial Hand. The murky ocean slowly split open, creating an astonishing ravine.

The surrounding ocean soul pets were scared off by the ocean splitting open. Chu Mu used his soul remembrance to lock onto a single-horned sea snake.

“You’ll do,” Chu Mu’s gaze flashed and forcefully targeted this escaping single-horned sea snake. He pulled it out from the murky ocean directly.

That single-horned sea snake kept hissing out of fear. However, no matter how it twisted its body, it could not break free from Chu Mu’s Spatial Hand.

The single-horned sea snake actually had a large physique. It was at least over a hundred meters long. Chu Mu thought it was a tiny sea snake when it was still underwater. He never expected it to occupy such a large space after pulling it out. Chu Mu and Ning Maner looked like toddlers before this sea snake.

“Little sea snake, don’t be scared. I want to ask you something,” Ning Maner smiled gently towards the single-horned sea snake.

The single-horned sea snake probably felt frustrated. It had been in this Exile Ocean for over a hundred years. It had now reached the level of ruling over a portion of the ocean. Its strength also reached middle class Dominator rank.

It originally thought it could live as it liked, but it unfortunately ended up getting pulled out by someone like that. The grand Exile Ocean Evil Tyrant single-horned sea snake had to be obedient like a little earthworm.

“Do you know where Sea Obstinate Rock is? Is there a little Yellow Spring there?” asked Ning Maner.

The single-horned sea snake probably wanted to cry. These two humans split apart the ocean so exaggeratedly and caught it into the air, all that was just to ask for directions?

They could find out if they just randomly caught an adult ocean monster. Why did they have to catch a Dominator rank like it?

“Big brother, it said it knows, it’s probably around......”

“Let it take us there,” said Chu Mu.

Ning Maner nodded and tole the single-horned sea snake, “Little sea snake, please bring us there.”

......

The pitiful Evil Tyrant sea snake became the mount of Chu Mu and Ning Maner like that.

Chu Mu and Ning Maner did not want to enter the ocean, so they made the single-horned sea snake swim on the ocean surface.

Ning Maner stood at the head of the single-horned sea snake. If not for the stench looming over the ocean, speeding above the ocean surface with this single-horned sea snake should probably feel great.

“Big brother, it said there was a locked creature at Sea Obstinate Rock, but it doesn’t know if that’s Yellow Spring.”

“Locked?” Chu Mu was confused. Did those royal ocean guards add a lock which restricted movement when they threw little Yellow Spring into this ocean region?

“Yes. A while ago, a Blood Eating Iron Whale is cleaning up the Sea Obstinate Rock area. They chased away all creatures living there. Little Yellow Spring was probably locked and could not move. So it fought against that whale. Not sure if that Blood Eating Iron Whale killed it or not.”

“Blood Eating Iron Whale is a ferocious species controlled by Calamity Ocean Demon. Calamity Ocean Demon should be starting to put order into this ocean region. Hopefully it is still safe,” said Chu Mu worriedly.

“Yeah, little Yellow Spring had so many layers of seals. It definitely won’t be a match against that big scary whale. Its body is locked up so it can’t even run away,” said Ning Maner gloomily.
