The Charm of Soul Pets

Chapter 1585: Dragon Race, To Be Proud Of



In the northern region of New Moon Land, several anxious figures flew towards the south.

Uncle Yu flew at the front. He rode on his elderly Thunder Dragon.

This Thunder Dragon had yet had the time to heal its wounds. It was doing its best to fly towards Wanxiang City.

Thunder Dragon suffered a heavy injury. It kept panting and appeared very tired.

Uncle Yu stroked Thunder Dragon’s head with his hand, tears moistened his eyes.

“Old pal, never mind, stop here,” Uncle Yu told Thunder Dragon.

Thunder Dragon had accompanied Uncle Yu for several hundred years. Immortal rank creatures should have an even longer lifespan, but non-stop battles for over a hundred years greatly exhausted its body and soul, making it reach its elderly stage along with him.

Thunder Dragon continued to flap its wings. Perhaps, it was trying to use its steady flight to prove that it had yet to age, or it wanted to fly freely again as its life was about to reach the end......

Thunder Dragon flapped its wings and flew towards a certain direction without caring about its injuries.

Right behind Uncle Yu and his Thunder Dragon were a few others. Bai Yu who was engulfed in Devil Fire, Liu Binglan who was riding on Star River Bird, Ye Qingzi who was sitting on Little Hidden Dragon’s back, as well as Zhan Ye and Martial Cloud Dragon following right behind Ye Qingzi.

Ye Qingzi turned to look at Zhan Ye and Martial Cloud Dragon.

Chu Mu’s Little Yellow Spring Calamity possessed the greatest fighting strength. It would surely reach Wanxiang City with the fastest speed possible.

However, Yellow Spring Calamity was injured during the fight against Chief’s Deep Sea Demon. It was currently resting in Heavenly Mountain and would not be able to make it.

Meanwhile, Zhan Ye’s Brave Stinging Heart effect was also fading away as the battle was over. Its strength gradually returned to its normal state. It would not be able to reach with its speed.

As for Chu Mu, he was still unconscious. Ye Qingzi was currently healing him, hoping that he could wake up soon.

“Too slow, our speed is too slow,” Liu Binglan looked towards Wanxiang City’s direction.

If they rushed to Wanxiang City with their current speed, Wanxiang City would already be in ruins. After all, the enemy even had a high class Immortal rank. With such a large army in addition......

Furthermore, they were all injured during the previous battle. Even if they made it back to Wanxiang City, could they really stop that army with their current conditions??

“Ao!”

Little Hidden Dragon flapped its wings and rushed to the front of the group.

Little Hidden Dragon’s state was rather healthy. Its flying speed was also fast enough. Since it was accelerating like this, it was clearly indicating that it would rush back to Wanxiang City first.

“Qingzi, why is Little Hidden Dragon glowing blue?” asked Bai Yu.

Ye Qingzi looked down and just realized Little Hidden Dragon was really glowing. This glow appeared to be the evolution glow, yet a little dim.

“Little Hidden Dragon can evolve by devouring souls. It seems to be on the verge of evolving,” said Ye Qingzi.

Glowing like that meant the creature reached the bottleneck for evolution. It might break through any moment during this state!

In the previous battle, Little Hidden Dragon devoured ten Immortal rank souls. Originally, it would have evolved after devouring another middle class Immortal rank soul. However, after the entire stronghold was devoured by the blackhole, there was no souls left for Little Hidden Dragon to devour.

“Wait,” Suddenly, Uncle Yu called Little Hidden Dragon which wanted to fly back to Wanxiang City first.

Ye Qingzi asked Little Hidden Dragon to slow down albeit confused. She turned to look at Uncle Yu whose Thunder Dragon was getting slower and slower.

“Is it almost going to evolve?” Uncle Yu focused on Chu Mu’s Little Hidden Dragon.

Ye Qingzi nodded, “It should be missing one middle class Immortal rank soul.”

“Take it,” said Uncle Yu.

Ye Qingzi did not understand Uncle Yu’s meaning.

“Take its soul,” said Uncle Yu with a calm tone.

Ye Qingzi was in a daze for a moment, then looked at Thunder Dragon which Uncle Yu was riding on.

Taking away Thunder Dragon’s soul??

Uncle Yu intended to let Little Hidden Dragon devour his Thunder Dragon’s soul. That was the same as taking away Thunder Dragon’s life.

“That won’t do, it is your soul pet!” said Ye Qingzi.

“Uncle Yu, we will make it in time,” said Liu Binglan.

“Yes. Thunder Dragon still has sufficient lifespan. I can heal it and use Life Fruit to extend its life......” said Ye Qingzi.

This was a soul pet which accompanied Uncle Yu for hundreds of years. Their feelings even surpassed blood relation. Taking away Thunder Dragon’s life like that was too cruel!

Ye Qingzi would never do that, Chu Mu would also not allow Little Hidden Dragon to do that.

Little Hidden Dragon devoured the enemy's soul, not ally’s soul. It would never do that.

Everyone objected to Uncle Yu’s sudden suggestion. However, Uncle Yu shook his head and stroked Thunder Dragon’s horn, “This is its intention.”

Thunder Dragon’s intention??

Was it offering its soul to Little Hidden Dragon??

Everyone looked at this purple dragon Uncle Yu rode on in astonishment.

Thunder Dragon’s breathing was already quite heavy. It looked really tired, wrinkles filled around its eyes. The sunken eyes focused on Little Hidden Dragon like a senior watching over a junior.

“Dragon race won’t allow themselves to die of old age. That is the display of cowardness. It also knew its own condition. Even if Little Hidden Dragon won’t take away its soul, it will leave me some day in future and fly towards the sky. Flying past first layer, second layer and then third layer, until it is completely exhausted, stiffened up and shredded by the chaotic air currents......” said Uncle Yu calmly.

Even though reluctant, Uncle Yu had to admit that he and his soul pet had become old.

Even at old age, he was able to participate in such a meaningful defense war. Uncle Yu already had no regrets left, this was probably also the reason Cloud Gate Elder chose to die fighting.

After reaching their age, they already saw through the life and death cycle.

His old pal Thunder Dragon was similar to him. It was getting old, it was heading towards death step by step. However, before reaching the end of its life, it would definitely challenge the highest sky...... This was the proud funeral ceremony of the dragon race.

However, if it could do something for its kin before dying, then Thunder Dragon would gladly offer its soul to a young and powerful Hidden Dragon. Because it believed that this Hidden Dragon would definitely fly higher and further than it!

Uncle Yu waved his hand and indicated that there was no need to persuade him any further, “It also loves New Moon Land. It will also choose its sky burial at Wanxiang City. If this city is destroyed, it will also lose the place it can rest in peace. Stop persuading me, time is not on our side. Little Hidden Dragon must rush to Wanxiang City before us.”

“It has gone through the Dragon Race war and experienced the pain of its home getting destroyed. Wanxiang City must not be destroyed, or the war we endured through would become meaningless. Even if we defeated the eight major factions and all the other enemies, what is lost cannot be recovered,” said Uncle Yu sternly with his eyes focusing on Ye Qingzi and Little Hidden Dragon.

Liu Binglan, Ye Qingzi and Bai Yu became silent.

They did not know how they should respond to Uncle Yu.

He was a retired elderly. He chose to spend the rest of his life in New Moon Land, yet he was acting as a New Moon Land member right now......

Ye Qingzi could not make this decision. She could only look at Uncle Yu and Thunder Dragon.

The others also could not make this decision for Little Hidden Dragon, they could only remain silent.

“Little Hidden Dragon,” Suddenly, a feeble voice called out.

“Shashasha~!”

Little Hidden Dragon immediately turned around and looked at Chu Mu who should have been unconscious.

Chu Mu woke up!

“Chu Mu.”

“Chu Mu!”

The three of them saw Chu Mu waking up and immediately brightened up.

Ye Qingzi hurriedly held onto Chu Mu and wiped the tears accumulated in her eyes due to Uncle Yu’s words.

During this war, Ye Qingzi already forgot how many times she had shed tears. The number of times was even more than her entire life before the war. Perhaps, it was the same for everyone else......

“I have not recovered my stamina, I cannot fight,” said Chu Mu as he held his chest in pain.

“We know......” said Uncle Yu.

“Little Hidden Dragon, devour its soul,” said Chu Mu. He heard Uncle Yu’s words right after waking up.

Uncle Yu was right. Wanxiang City must not be destroyed. Once destroyed, all the efforts everyone put in to defend New Moon Land would have gone to waste. There was no meaning no matter how many enemies they killed.

Dark Death King was only willing to protect Chu Mu, since it still shared something like a soul pact with Chu Mu. Making Dark Death King rush to Wanxiang City would only make it destroy everything in its sight.

Only Little Hidden Dragon could save Wanxiang City now, because it only needed a middle class Immortal rank soul to reach high class Immortal rank.

Uncle Yu nodded towards Chu Mu. What Chu Mu did was correct, it was not time for sorrow.

“Do you remember how your mother faced its aging?” Chu Mu asked Little Hidden Dragon.

“Shashasha~!” Little Hidden Dragon nodded.

The scene Empyrean Cyan Hidden Dragon chose for its sky burial was deeply carved into Little Hidden Dragon’s memory. It proudly threw itself towards the sky.

“Don’t feel sad, the dragon race is to be proud of. So is it,” Chu Mu pointed towards Uncle Yu’s aged Thunder Dragon.

Little Hidden Dragon nodded and flew towards Thunder Dragon. It bit onto Thunder Dragon’s neck.

Thunder Dragon did not put up any struggle.

Ye Qingzi closed her eyes, so did Liu Binglan. Bai Yu turned around.

Only Chu Mu and Uncle Yu calmly witnessed this scene.

However, Chu Mu saw something glittering in Uncle Yu’s eyes......

No matter how enlightened he was, it was still difficult to make the sacrifice. This was the gaze of an elderly soul pet trainer who had lived for hundreds of years watching his soul pet pass away, Chu Mu would etch it in his memory.
