Supreme Tamer

Chapter 591: Chapter 462: Jungle Slaughter, Whose Hand will the Deer Die by (Part 1)

After Princess Jinrou slid down to the basin, she quietly recited a spell to summon her Demon Spirit in front of her.

Princess Jinrou’s Demon Spirit was a Dark Demon Shura.

Dark Demon Shura: Demon Beast World – Demon Spirit type (Ghost Race) – Dark Demon Shura Clan – Commander Level

The Dark Demon Shura had a ghostly body that looked like a cloak, with crimson claws for hands that took the shape of three sharp swords.

It had legs, but it didn’t need to touch the ground, always floating half a meter above the ground. Its eyes had a hint of green light and a frightful, sharp gaze.

Upon its appearance, the Dark Demon Shura vanished like a ghost between two trees with intertwined branches, and Princess Jinrou continued to converse with Chu Mu as if nothing had happened.

Chu Mu knew that he didn’t need to take action himself, secretly marveling that the Dark Demon Shura summoned by Princess Jinrou was an Intermediate Monarch of the Ninth Rank Fourth Stage!

The Night Thunder Dream Beast had now reached the Ninth Rank First Stage, differing by one grade and stage from the Dark Demon Shura. Even if it deployed its domain skill, the Night Thunder Dream Beast might not be a match for the Dark Demon Shura.

“Swish! Swish!”

A sharp crimson light sliced through the dense trees, instantly cutting all the plants in a straight line at their waists!

Immediately after, a painful scream came from the jungle, apparently from the person secretly following Chu Mu and Princess Jinrou who had been attacked by the Dark Demon Shura.

Chu Mu reacted quickly and went back right away. Going past the fallen trees, Chu Mu saw the Dark Demon Shura’s crimson claws pointing at a man bleeding profusely from his arm.

The man lay half on the ground, with a Demon Spirit by his side. However, this Demon Spirit was easily restrained by Princess Jinrou’s Dark Demon Shura using psychic skills, and could only struggle weakly.

The man did not dare to recite a spell because as soon as he summoned other Soul Pets, the blood thorn of the Dark Demon Shura would pierce his throat. He looked terrified at the fast-approaching Chu Mu and the slightly slower Princess Jinrou.

“I… I didn’t… I didn’t have any ill intentions,” the pale-faced man said.

As Chu Mu got closer and looked at the man, he noticed that, besides the wound on his arm torn open by the Dark Demon Shura, there were signs of injury around his waist. It seemed that he had been injured for some time.

“Who are you?” Chu Mu stood in front of him and asked coldly.

“I am… I am from the Blue Realm, my name is Liu Zhang, and I am also a Cross Boundary contestant,” the man who called himself Liu Zhang said while covering the wound on his arm.

At this time, Princess Jinrou slowly walked over, stood beside the Dark Demon Shura, and looked at Chu Mu with an inquiring glance.

Liu Zhang’s fearful gaze quickly fell on Princess Jinrou, and gradually, a change appeared on Liu Zhang’s face, showing a mix of surprise and more complicated emotions.

“Princess Jinrou? Could you be Princess Jinrou?!” Liu Zhang looked incredibly excited, staring intently at Princess Jinrou, his face showing a trace of infatuation and gratitude.

“Hmm? Have we met before?” Princess Jinrou carefully examined the man, as if she couldn’t quite recall who he was.

“Before you entered World City, I was in danger at the edge of the Mysterious Realm, and it was your subordinate who saved me. I wanted to thank your subordinate, but she told me to thank you instead. I have always admired you, and now, I am even more grateful for your kindness. I have wanted to express my gratitude face-to-face, but I never had the chance. I never expected to see you here, which is… truly wonderful,” Liu Zhang said with heartfelt appreciation.

It seemed that Princess Jinrou remembered her subordinate mentioning this incident. Without giving much of a reaction, she opened her mouth and said, “First, tend to your wounds, then tell me why you were following us.”

“Yes… Yes.” Liu Zhang immediately nodded, hurriedly dressing his wound. Judging from his skilled movements, he appeared to be a Soul Pet Master who frequently trained in the wild.

Chu Mu remained vigilant at all times, as Liu Zhang’s behavior was highly suspicious. His ability to hide his presence was quite extraordinary, far beyond that of ordinary people. If it weren’t for Chu Mu’s superior Soul Sense, he might have only noticed Liu Zhang’s presence after being ambushed.

“I… I truly had no ill intentions. I noticed you two in the Poison Thorn area ahead and followed you unconsciously, not knowing who you were. Actually, I wanted to travel with you two but didn’t know the extent of your strength…” Liu Zhang began to explain.

“How did your waist get injured?” Chu Mu asked.

“That’s what I wanted to talk about. I arrived here earlier than anyone else. The basin ahead is extremely dangerous. I’ve already been there once, but I was injured and had to retreat. Most importantly, I discovered that some people had ambushed us in hiding within the basin… My strength is far inferior to those of the true second-tier experts, but my ability to hide my presence is very strong. When I entered the basin, I unintentionally discovered many corpses. At first, I thought that the weaker contestants were attacked by the basin’s dangerous beings, but later, I gradually discovered a shocking secret: these people were hiding in the basin, specifically to assassinate us contestants!” As Liu Zhang spoke, his eyes filled with fear.

“This injury on my body comes from their attack. After escaping them, I saw you two not long after. I wanted to warn you and indeed wanted to travel with you. If I were to proceed alone, those assassins would definitely reappear.”

Chu Mu and Princess Jinrou exchanged glances, both sinking into deep thought.

Chu Mu’s first consideration was not about the hidden killers in the basin, but whether Liu Zhang’s words were credible or not.

Next, Chu Mu would consider the issue of the basin killers. If these killers really existed, who were they? Were they contestants who, in order to gain glory for themselves, went on a killing spree within the basin, or did they have another purpose?

“Princess, what do you think?” Chu Mu inquired through soul sense.

“Liu Zhang’s words should be true. My subordinate has mentioned to me about this person. He is a well-known Soul Pet Master in the Demon Spirit World and often practices in the wild. My subordinate intentionally wanted him to work for me and investigated his information. He is upright, and has not joined any power group.” Princess Jinrou also knew that she should first let Chu Mu confirm Liu Zhang’s identity.

“Then what do you think about those killers…” Chu Mu asked.

Princess Jinrou had a better understanding of the situation of the major powers. In The World Decree, the emergence of a group of killers targeting contestants meant that something was being hidden…

“Perhaps, the person killing the race members is not just the murderer we initially identified. It could be several people, who arrived here in advance to stop all contestants, and then allow the person they truly support to obtain the glory of the seventh realm without any obstacles…” Princess Jinrou said.

Chu Mu furrowed his brows. This method of killing race members and other participants to gain benefits for oneself is extremely cruel. He wondered which hidden powerhouse from which power group could be so bold to do this.

“I’ve told you before, the first thing to do when entering the Mysterious Realm is not to pass through the realms but to find your own team members or someone you can trust.” Jinrou softly spoke to Chu Mu through soul sense.

“We have no choice but to fight our way through.” Chu Mu nodded.

The advantage of power groups was gradually showing up in the later realms. Chu Mu felt that he indeed needed some allies. Going through the battle alone would definitely result in a tragic end at the last.

“Let Liu Zhang follow us. He is not weak in strength and is an expert in wild combat.” Princess Jinrou suggested.

“Yeah.” Chu Mu nodded and jumped onto the Night Thunder Dream Beast.

Upon receiving permission to join the team, an excited smile immediately appeared on Liu Zhang’s face, as if he were a knight who had just received the greatest honor. Ignoring his injury, he rode his Demon Spirit proudly, like a soldier leading the way for the princess.

“Princess, rest assured, I’m not very strong, but in this environment, I will definitely spot those killers before they ambush us.” Liu Zhang earnestly said.

Princess Jinrou gently nodded without saying much.

“Oh, I was too excited to meet Princess Jinrou that I forgot to ask the name of the guard.” Liu Zhang quickly noticed the man by the princess’s side.

Chu Mu glanced at Liu Zhang and simply ignored his question.

Princess Jinrou whispered an explanation to Liu Zhang, “He’s not my subordinate. We have a purely business relationship.”

“Oh, a hired helper. Ha ha, it is an honor to serve Princess Jinrou anyway.” Liu Zhang, being naive, did not understand the meaning behind Princess Jinrou’s words.

Princess Jinrou soon let out a soft laughter, her elegant manner revealing an enchanting beauty.

Liu Zhang laughed awkwardly, not knowing what he said wrong to make Princess Jinrou laugh.

Princess Jinrou deliberately glanced at Chu Mu and softly said to him through soul sense, “It seems that even if you were to leave my guard post, even if you’ve already become the Soul Hall Young Master, you still can’t get rid of your Princess Guard vibe…”

Chu Mu opened his mouth wanting to say something but decided not to, instead letting Princess Jinrou teasingly mock him with a bit of playful joy.

Chu Mu raised his head, his gaze fixed on the dense plant-filled basin, as a cruel smile spread across his face.

Since there were so many killers in the basin, Chu Mu felt that he too shouldn’t show any mercy.

Jungle slaughter, it remained to be seen exactly who would kill whom. For Chu Mu, who had been immersed in the jungle killing for three full years, the jungle was his killing domain!
