Pet Charm Chapter 10

Chapter 10 First Battle, Thorn Demon

This time, the Moonlight Fox did not show much resistance, but instead gazed intently at Chu Mu with its pair of beautiful eyes.

Soul pets are similar to humans, and are able to think and feel. And at this time, Chu Mu is able to see a trace of hesitation and loss in the little fox eyes, as if it’s considering if it should trust this human.

The soul contract has strong restricting and constraining capabilities. After the Moonlight Fox revealed its hesitation and loss, the soul contract ring’s brilliance immediately became more intense!

The light blue soul ring slowly contracted, and as the Moonlight Fox resistance faded, it started imprinting on its soul.

Gradually, the Moonlight Fox stopped resisting, and the light blue soul ring finally fused into the little Moonlight Fox’s body, transforming into a soul mark unique to Chu Mu, and imprinted into the Moonlight Fox’s soul.

“Wu~~~~~~~”

The Moonlight Fox let out a weak moan, and a light blue radiance was released from its body.

The radiance covered its body, and its body slowly dispersed in the faint blue light, disappearing in front of Chu Mu.

Soul masters have their own soul pet s.p.a.ce, which can accommodate soul pets. After sealing a contract, soul masters can, through their will, summon their soul pet from their soul pet s.p.a.ce.

Summoning and withdrawing a soul pet expends soul power, and even though he did not have much soul power left, Chu Mu hastily summoned his first battle soul pet in front of him.

A light blue halo slowly appeared, encompa.s.sing a delicate figure, its beautiful furry tail gently swaying, and a pair of intelligent eyes as charming as the moonlight fixated on Chu Mu.

The expression in the Moonlight Fox is different from before, the loss and hesitation now replaced with gentleness and meekness.

Looking at the first soul pet he captured, Chu Mu felt a surge of emotions and laughed loudly. This is a soul pet with unlimited potential, it can evolve from medium grade to high grade, or even higher than that, and this meant that Chu Mu’s destiny will completely change because of it!

“Wu~~~~~~~”

The Moonlight Fox let out a weak moan, and twisted its cute body, trying to struggle free from the white silk that wrapped around it.

Chu Mu took out his knife and, after cutting the tough white silk with much difficulty, picked up the furry little guy, stroking its fur.

The Moonlight Fox seemed to enjoy his touch. Staying in Chu Mu arms, it revealed an expression of reliance, and licked Chu Mu cheeks with its little tongue.

Seeing this young Moonlight Fox getting intimate so quickly, Chu Mu guessed that this little fox is not yet mature, and that it solely relied on its instinct and tenacity to survive on this dangerous inner island. For a young soul pet, this is incredible, and its life must have been very difficult.

“Little guy, you must have been orphaned when you were very young. But, it’s okay, we have each other from now on, you won’t have to struggle alone anymore……Speaking of which, I’d better give you a name.” Chu Mu smiled. This smile is the only heartfelt, joyous and relaxed smile for Chu Mu in many years.

In fact, the current Chu Mu is in the same plight as this little fox who is trying to survive on this dangerous island, and the only change is that he is no longer alone.

“I remember a weapon called Mo Xie, gentle and beautiful when still, sharp and unpredictable when in motion, just like your personality. Let’s call you Mo Xie, it suits you, cunning little guy.”

“Wu~~~~~” As if it didn’t like Chu Mu calling it cunning, it let out a cry of complain.

“Er, I mean smart……”

The little wolf immediately stuck out its little tongue, and licked Chu Mu’s face. Chu Mu let out an embarra.s.sed smile, thinking that in addition to having great potential, this little guy is also very interesting.

……

Having attained a most satisfactory, or even completely unexpected soul pet, Chu Mu can now confidently leave this dangerous inner island.

Of course, on the way back, Chu Mu dared not be careless. After all, the Moonlight Fox is still too young, and cannot face other strong soul pets. Instead, Chu Mu have to take on the responsibility of protecting the little Moonlight Fox.

Withdrawing a soul pet does not expend much soul power, but summoning one, is no small expenditure. Chu Mu still needs to leave some soul power to support the White Nightmare Demon, and as such, did not keep Mo Xie back into his soul pet s.p.a.ce, walking with it instead.

Chu Mu has been very careful since entering the inner island. He had left markings on the way so he would not get lost on the dangerous inner island.

Following the markings he left on the trees, Chu Mu successfully made his way back to the patch of thorns.

He remembered the stage 2 Thorn Demon in this thorn forest, and deliberately stayed on alert.

But just as Chu Mu was about to crawl through, little Mo Xie suddenly jumped out of his arms, and ran into the thorns.

After contracting a soul pet, within a fixed distance, one would be able to tell its location. Chu Mu, not wishing for anything bad to happen to his treasured Mo Xie, immediately followed.

Mo Xie body is small, but its agile movements allowed it to move easily through the thorns without getting scratched.

Chu Mu followed quickly, and soon he realised little Mo Xie was heading right for the Thorn Demon which attacked him earlier.

“Suo suo suo suo~~~~~~~”

As he approached the Thorn Demon’s location, Chu Mu heard the sound of swaying thorns.

Hacking apart the thorns, he saw a little moon coloured figure quickly weaving through the dense forest of thorns, and behind it, a vine as thick as a thumb, followed it like a snake. However, in comparison to little Mo Xie’s agile and flexible movements, the chasing vine evidently cannot keep up.

“Good, this will be the first battle on our journey to become strong!” Chu Mu saw little Mo Xie already battling the Thorn Demon which almost killed him, and immediately, his will to battle was ignited.

To be a qualified soul master, what one needs to do is not to join the fight, but to be in total control of the battle!
