Supreme Tamer

Chapter 1114: Chapter 979: Phoenix Clan Giant Mountain Chapter 1114: Chapter 979: Phoenix Clan Giant Mountain The Giant Mountain was also devoid of vegetation, composed entirely of rugged and hard Rocks. Sometimes the terrain was steep and perilous, sometimes it was flat and expansive, sometimes it dropped abruptly, and sometimes it rose sharply from the ground. Such bizarre topography had caused numerous obstacles for everyone’s advance.

The terrain’s impact on everyone could be overcome, but what caused them the most headache was that the creatures inhabiting the Giant Mountain always moved in groups. Often, just as they climbed over a ridge, they could encounter a tribe of indigenous creatures staring at them with pairs of angry eyes, followed by a roaring charge!

In the Array Valley, the group mostly avoided areas with roaming creatures, so battles were not frequent.

However, once they entered the Phoenix Clan Ruins Giant Mountain, the fighting almost never stopped. Describing their path as a bloody trail carved through sheer force was no exaggeration.

“My God, I don’t even want to move forward anymore,” Teng Lang complained, steering his Ice Mountain Lion from a high place to where the group was resting.

The resting spot for the group was a Cliff, which had become separated from the Mountain ahead, forming a bottomless Grand Canyon. Under the canyon, one could glimpse the sparkling and refined Crystal Stones.

These Crystal Stones, shining brilliantly like gemstones and agates, contained enough energy to create countless Emperors if collected.

However, the six people above the Cliff of the Grand Canyon had no intention of descending to collect them, since among the long canyon, there were many glowing things that were not energy-filled Crystal Stones but pairs of Frightful eyes!

The number of eyes far exceeded the Crystal Stones, densely packed under the Grand Canyon, emitting heart-palpitating cries from time to time!

Having experienced the formidable tribes here, the group was now completely devoid of the energy to gather those resources. Their most direct desire, worn out as they were, was to reach the Volcano Peak as soon as possible.

Of course, they could simply fly over the Canyon; they needed to go up, not down to battle with those things in the canyon.

However, Teng Lang, who went ahead to scout, looked worried and distressed, indicating that the situation up ahead was probably no more optimistic than down in the Canyon.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Mo asked.

“I can’t describe it. Rest a bit more, and everyone will see for themselves soon. Prepare mentally,” Teng Lang said with a wry smile.

Hearing this from Teng Lang, everyone knew there must be a large group of creatures up ahead.

The constant battles in recent times had left them mentally exhausted. Aside from Chu Mu, who maintained his high spirits as First Control, the others were quite helpless.

After a brief rest, the six continued on their way.

Flying over the Canyon, filled with treasures yet also teeming with poisonous snakes, following the suddenly rising terrain, the group climbed to the highest point of the mountain.

Upon reaching the Mountain Peak, the terrain sloped downwards, presenting the trend of a high-mountain Basin.

However, standing at the edge of the high-mountain Basin, the five people looked far and wide, only to see a swarming, dense mass of creatures at the Basin’s head, which turned their faces completely dark.

“There must be at least 50,000, right?” Chao Lengchuan gasped in shock as he observed the countless black dots.

The high-mountain Basin was vast beyond measure; if one did not consider the altitude, it could even be seen as the skeleton of a dried-up Ocean, with the dark creatures indistinguishable from the water!

This daunting scene also gave Chu Mu a big headache.

Chu Mu could only control one, so his role in a group battle was very limited. The strongest White Nightmare Demon naturally had to act as a last resort—it couldn’t be allowed to use up its combat power here before reaching the highest point, as recuperating its strength now was not as simple as a four- or five-day affair like before.

Obviously, this Basin was home to a tribe with relatively higher levels. If they chose to bypass it, who knows how long that would take, and the detour did not guarantee they would not encounter these creatures.

“`

Left with no choice, the six could only opt for stealth.

If they fought their way through, their Soul Pets would definitely expend a tremendous amount of combat power. The best strategy was to use Demon Spirits or Dark Attribute creatures to sneak forward for a distance. If stealth became utterly impossible, they would have to fight.

Chu Mu, not having a Demon Spirit Soul Pet, naturally could only follow Mu Qingyi.

Pang Yue, whose strength was weaker, was in need of protection by one of the strong ones, and this task naturally fell to Chao Leng Chuan, who ranked second in combat power.

Chao Leng Chuan was, after all, capable of controlling five Soul Pets and had received the Venerable Position Heritage. The strength of his Wanzhao Beast was likely not much inferior to Chu Mu’s White Nightmare Demon. He hadn’t summoned it yet, but ensuring Pang Yue’s safety was no issue whatsoever.

Shen Mo and Teng Lang naturally ended up as a pair. When Teng Lang climbed onto the back of Shen Mo’s Demon Spirit, he glanced at the pairs of men and women ahead and said to Shen Mo, “This scene looks familiar…Why is it us again sharing a ride?”

“Fine, you protect Pang Yue, and let Chao Shusheng come with me,” Shen Mo said.

“Uh, let’s forget about that,” Teng Lang didn’t dare to say more.

Chu Mu could only control one Soul Pet, and besides, this fellow often loved to throw his Soul Pets deep into enemy formations, then saunter around alone in the midst of chaos. It could be said that sometimes this guy needed protection even more than Pang Yue.

The task of protecting the single-control Chu Mu naturally fell to Mu Qingyi; there was no need for others to intervene. After Teng Lang’s constant insinuations, the other three were also quite certain that Chu Mu and Mu Qingyi had an illicit relationship.

Then there was Pang Yue, who as a Support Soul Pet Master, usually followed Chao Lengchuan. Chao Lengchuan’s modest scholar-like appearance indeed left one speechless, but his formidable strength truly amazed everyone!

This fellow’s Main Pets had all reached Peak Emperor status, and even some of his Sub Pets had entered that level. Not considering Dominator Level Soul Pets, Chao Lengchuan’s average strength was quite a bit stronger than Chu Mu’s.

Therefore, most of the time, Teng Lang simply followed Shen Mo.

Shen Mo had originally wanted to keep a low profile and at least prevent others from seeing through him completely. However, not long after entering the Giant Mountain, his strength was almost completely exposed, all thanks to Teng Lang, who was just a Peak Emperor that dragged him down.

Out and about, facing various situations, Chu Mu, who could still only control one Soul Pet, was also deeply troubled. At this time, he missed Ye, Zhan Ye, and the Little Hiding Dragon even more.

“The enemies ahead are too dense; we’ll probably be discovered,” Mu Qingyi said to Chu Mu, slightly turning her face towards him as she observed the Black-armored Abyss Beasts covered in black ahead.

“Let’s just fight our way through then. Moving forward with such cautious speed isn’t as quick as just charging through,” Chu Mu said.

“You make it sound so easy,” Mu Qingyi said with annoyance.

“Then I’ll just go take care of their ruler and draw their attention. You all continue with the stealth approach,” Chu Mu offered.

“Are you going to summon the White Nightmare Demon?” Mu Qingyi felt it was not quite right to show their trump card now.

“No need,” Chu Mu responded.

Mu Qingyi looked at Chu Mu with skepticism. Without summoning the White Nightmare Demon, it was nearly impossible for Chu Mu, who could control only one pet, to succeed in taking the life of a tribal ruler; at least, she believed Chu Mu wasn’t capable of it, considering the immense difficulty and danger involved.

Seeing Mu Qingyi looking at him that way, Chu Mu actually smiled and said to her, “Don’t believe me?”

“Mmm, I don’t believe you,” Mu Qingyi nodded earnestly.
