Chapter 592: Chapter 463: Jungle Slaughter, Whose Hand will the Deer Die by (Part 2)

…

…

In the dense forest, there was always a faint scent of blood lingering.

Such an odor was very weak. Neither Princess Jinrou nor Liu Zhang had detected it. Only Chu Mu, who had survived in Prison Island like a wild beast for several years, could track it.

Chu Mu knew that a specially-treated corpse was buried under the spot where Princess Jinrou had rested. The smell of blood was too weak for even Princess Jinrou’s Demon Spirit to detect.

“Come here,” Chu Mu told Princess Jinrou, his conscience making him reluctant to have such a beautiful woman standing on top of a corpse.

“What’s wrong?” Princess Jinrou asked curiously as she walked to Chu Mu’s side.

“That place is not safe,” Chu Mu didn’t explain much; his gaze passed through rows of tree trunks as he looked deeper into the jungle.

“Your Highness, don’t worry. I have already checked when I came just now. There will be no problems here,” Liu Zhang promptly replied.

“Oh.” Princess Jinrou nodded, but she instinctively trusted Chu Mu more and stood beside him to rest.

“Take the antidote,” Chu Mu said.

“The wound on my leg is already healed,” Princess Jinrou replied.

“Many Plant Spirit Beasts in the jungle release toxins that cannot be detected by sensory abilities. These toxins are almost impossible to defend against. Moreover, some people spread poison through the stench of rotting corpses. Look at your calf; if the scab that forms over the wound is purple, it means that toxins are still infecting your body,” Chu Mu explained to Princess Jinrou.

Princess Jinrou blinked her nimble eyes. It was clear that she hadn’t considered Chu Mu’s words. She walked to the side and gently rolled up her pant leg.

As expected, when Jinrou exposed her delicate and fair-skinned calf, she found that the scar on her skin had turned purple.

Princess Jinrou looked at Chu Mu in surprise, not expecting him to be so perceptive.

“You tell Liu Zhang to check the east, and I’ll walk around here to see if there’s any situation,” Chu Mu continued to instruct Princess Jinrou.

Princess Jinrou nodded, took the antidote, and asked the attentive Liu Zhang to go ahead and investigate.

Liu Zhang obeyed Princess Jinrou’s every command. He quickly rode his Demon Spirit to scout ahead. Liu Zhang’s Demon Spirit was also very agile, as it swiftly disappeared from their view after several concealed dashes.

“Always be alert and keep your Demon Spirit in battle mode. And don’t let that Little Ice Fox fall asleep,” Chu Mu warned Princess Jinrou.

Princess Jinrou frowned, not knowing why Chu Mu was so nervous when it seemed like there was no danger around.

After he finished speaking, Chu Mu swiftly jumped onto a tree trunk. After a few leaps, he disappeared from Princess Jinrou’s sight.

Princess Jinrou was no fool. She hid her breath and put both her Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon and the Dark Demon Shura in a state of vigilance.

About five minutes later, Princess Jinrou’s soul sense locked onto a person who was fleeing rapidly in their direction. It was Liu Zhang, who had gone to scout the situation earlier.

“Your Highness, we have to leave! Their ambush is nearby!” Liu Zhang said to Princess Jinrou with a panicked expression.

Princess Jinrou surveyed the surroundings with a serious expression and replied coldly, “Your news came too late.”

Liu Zhang stared for a moment, suddenly scanning the surrounding forest, and noticed several pairs of green eyes lurking in the shadows of the trees!

Soon, these green eyes appeared around Princess Jinrou and Liu Zhang, completely blocking all four directions!

“How… how is this possible? How could they… how could they move so fast!” Liu Zhang turned pale and hurriedly recited a spell.

Under the current circumstances, they had no choice but to fight. However, Liu Zhang didn’t know how many enemies they faced and whether escaping the siege was a real possibility.

Princess Jinrou was calmer, her perception ability slightly better than Liu Zhang’s. After several checks, she found that she was surrounded by three assassins and ten Soul Pets, all of which were ninth-rank high-stage Commanders of the same Soul Pet Race!

When a group has the same Soul Pets, it is evident that they were trained as assassins through methods similar to those used on Nightmare Demon Island in the Nightmare Demon Palace.

The fact that all the Soul Pets were of the same race, with high ranks and Commander status, indicated that these people had focused solely on developing their pets’ stages. Such methods were common in concentration camp-like environments, where raising ranks usually cost large sums of money while stages could be achieved through time and battling. So when training members of such groups, the ultimate goal was for each one to enhance their Soul Pets to the tenth stage, allowing them to fully coordinate their attacks and deal fatal damage.

“Watch one direction,” Princess Jinrou told Liu Zhang.

After she finished speaking, Princess Jinrou took the initiative to issue a command to her Dark Demon Shura!

Dark Demon Shura’s ability to hide was far superior to the assassins’ Soul Pets’. The ninth-rank high-stage Commander was equivalent to a medium-grade Monarch at the eighth intermediate stage. However, Dark Demon Shura was a ninth intermediate stage Monarch, which was three grades higher than these creatures!

“Swish!!!!!!!!”

Dark Demon Shura’s attack was clean and efficient. When one of the green-eyed monsters got close, it was pierced through the heart by Dark Demon Shura!!

Instant kill!!

Although Princess Jinrou’s Dark Demon Shura was a demon spirit, its attack power was not inferior to those of the beast type soul pets. After one skill, it instantly killed a green-eyed creature!

“Woo!!!!!!!!”

After Dark Demon Shura, the Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon also launched an attack!!

The enormous demon energy mixed with bone-chilling cold ice was madly released in all directions, instantly freezing all plants within a radius of fifty meters. The Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon’s ice-blue figure darted past, eerily passing through the body of a green-eyed monster!!

As the bone-chilling cold ice spread, the green-eyed monster didn’t have time to release a single skill before two sharp claw marks appeared on its body. The cold poison rapidly spread to the creature’s body, completely freezing its internal organs!

In the jungle, the green-clothed assassin realized that his soul pet had been completely frozen. He hurriedly tried to recall his soul pet.

However, as the assassin chanted the recall spell, the green-eyed monster’s body suddenly turned into an ice sculpture, with countless ice shards bursting out from its body!

With Princess Jinrou’s merciless attack, two of the assassin’s soul pets were injured in an instant, overwhelmingly suppressing the three assassins and the other eight soul pets.

The three assassins instantly realized that they had encountered a real expert of the second tier!

They didn’t hesitate at all and immediately issued a retreat order to their soul pets. Then, they quickly vanished into the forest…

…

The assassins came quickly and left quickly as well.

Liu Zhang was still stunned, staring at the two green-eyed monsters that were instantly killed by Princess Jinrou’s soul pets, his heart even more shocked.

All this time, Liu Zhang had always thought that Princess Jinrou’s strength was probably only the best among the third tier and that her entry into the second-tier competition was mostly relying on the strong guards beside her.

Moreover, the rumors about Princess Jinrou were also like that, and no one had ever mentioned her true strength.

However, in that short battle just now, Liu Zhang saw the murderous aura of a princess, easily repelling those three assassins who were a match for Liu Zhang!

“The princess is also a hidden expert…” Liu Zhang took a long time to recover and realized that Jinrou Princess was one of the hidden experts within the major powers!

“Did you find anything else ahead?” Princess Jinrou glanced at Liu Zhang and asked.

“There… there are a bunch of assassins stationed there. I found four assassins, but there should be more. They have set up a very tight jungle formation in front of them, like a wide-open net, waiting for all the contestants to enter… it’s terrifying!” Liu Zhang said in a slightly flustered manner.

“Can you figure out how big their net is and how many people they have?” Princess Jinrou asked.

“Even if my hiding ability is outstanding, it’s very difficult to completely figure out how big an area they’ve covered. They’ve arranged soul pets or soul pet masters in almost every hiding spot in the jungle. Even a fly wouldn’t be able to escape their eyes. It’s very difficult to go deep into their territory. I can only barely walk around their periphery, find out about their traps, but to figure out how deep their traps are and not trigger their traps, I’m afraid no one in the second-tier can do it…” Liu Zhang said.

Princess Jinrou was silent, the situation seemed not optimistic, and she could only wait for Chu Mu to come back and see what news Chu Mu brought before she could make the next plan.

…

Chu Mu soon returned.

“Where… where did you go? Why weren’t you there when we were attacked just now…” Liu Zhang noticed that Chu Mu had finally returned and immediately complained.

Chu Mu didn’t respond to Liu Zhang’s complaints, only slowly walking over to Princess Jinrou.

Liu Zhang kept talking, but when he saw a burly Demon Tree Warrior closely following Chu Mu, his words stopped abruptly, and his face was filled with horror!

But what shocked Liu Zhang was not Chu Mu’s Demon Tree Warrior, but the fact that the Demon Tree Warrior was supporting three corpses with its hands!!

These three corpses were the green-clothed assassins from before!!

Princess Jinrou was also somewhat surprised. She first looked at the corpses held by the Demon Tree Warrior, then gazed at Chu Mu and asked, “Did you kill them?”

“Yeah, I found them separated on my way back and took care of them as I went.” Chu Mu nodded.

Princess Jinrou’s strength was powerful, possibly even stronger than Chu Mu. However, in the situation just now, her soul pets could only kill at most two soul pets. If those assassins wanted to escape, it would be difficult for her to keep them there, let alone kill them!

However, Chu Mu did it, and made it look easy! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to (.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
