Supreme Tamer

Chapter 1660: Chapter 1520: Sea Infant Array, Hundreds of Soul Pet Eggs

Three minutes was indeed enough time for those Qinghai Lizards to completely block the exit of the seafloor trench.

Chu Mu lifted his head; he could no longer see the higher ocean regions. The blue scales obscured the view above his head, and various kinds of poisonous green liquids poured down from above the water.

“Master Li, have you found it yet!” Chu Mu had no other choice but to swim deeper into the trench, hoping that Master Li could quickly find the Living Grass.

“Young Master, there is one deeper down, but if we go any deeper, I’m sure the route to escape will be completely blocked!” Master Li said.

Chu Mu glanced at the deep fissure indicated by Master Li and vaguely discerned the flow of seawater into it.

If seawater could flow through this deep-sea trench, it meant there was a cavern below that led to another place. With this unexpected surprise, Chu Mu dove into the trench without hesitation.

All kinds of underwater plants grew in the depths of the trench, and many Energy Magic Stones had settled there. Chu Mu felt that since he had taken the trouble to visit the lair of the Catastrophe Sea Demon, he couldn’t just leave with only a Living Grass!

As he continued to dive, he used the power of space to forcibly sweep away various Xuan Objects, Immortal Items, and all kinds of Magic Stones that were mixed in the mud or embedded in rock crevices.

This didn’t delay Chu Mu much at all. Soon, he had filled a Space Ring. Chu Mu had no idea whether the items inside were good or bad; he could only wait until he escaped this place to take a look.

Diving deeper, Chu Mu immediately sensed a rich Immortal Qi permeating the seawater, a sign that there must be treasures hidden further down the trench.

Indeed, as he dove down, Chu Mu suddenly discovered numerous beads glittering with dazzling light.

“Young Master, I’ve got the Living Grass. And there’s a very concealed tunnel under here that seems to lead to other places,” Master Li reported.

Seeing that Master Li had secured the Living Grass, Chu Mu hurriedly collected the glittering beads into his Space Ring.

These beads were certainly Immortal Items. Chu Mu didn’t have time to check exactly what level of Immortal Items they were; aside from the Living Grass, this extra gain was already a successful adventure as long as he could make a successful escape.

The deep-sea tunnel was nearly underneath the ocean’s surface; Chu Mu had no idea where it ultimately led, but anything had to be better than facing the densely packed, fierce Qinghai Lizard Army behind him.

The deep-sea tunnel wasn’t very long, and at its end appeared an underwater cavern shrouded in darkness.

Chu Mu wasn’t sure if the cavern was naturally formed or intentionally carved by the Sea Race, but this tunnel’s end gathered the qi of the entire trench!

Here, a mixture of Spiritual Energy, Xuan Energy, Immortal Qi, and various energies provided by seabed Magic Stones swirled around. As Chu Mu swam into this place, he immediately felt as though he was standing in a Cultivation array, his soul seemingly ascending with the forces converging from all directions!

“This… could this be the Sea Race’s Sea Infant Array?” Master Li recognized the special formation of this cavern in an instant.

“What is the Sea Infant Array?” Chu Mu asked casually.

“Look, isn’t there a Soul Pet egg positioned at each spot in this cavern?” Master Li explained.

Chu Mu’s gaze swept over the area, and indeed, he found many Soul Pet eggs laid out throughout the cavern. These Soul Pet eggs were definitely marine creatures, forming a regular formation, like mouths of shells tirelessly absorbing all kinds of energies converging here!

“Many marine creatures can nurture their aura before hatching. The more nurturing they receive, the stronger the born Soul Pets will be, often surpassing others of their species by a great deal. These Soul Pet eggs are all of high ranking, the weakest of them being at Dominator Level. This must be the Catastrophe Sea Demon leveraging the resources of the Sea Treasure Basin to create a group of marine Generals completely loyal to itself!” Master Li exclaimed.

A glance by Chu Mu revealed over a hundred Soul Pet eggs in the cavern, just as Master Li had said, with the weakest being at Dominator Level.

Their inherent Species Ranking was already at the Dominator level, and with the nurturing of this natural Sea Treasure region, their innate advantages would outstrip many other creatures. By the time they matured, this batch of Soul Pets, which had received such early favoritism, was sure to look down upon the vast majority of other creatures, forming an extremely powerful elite force!

One couldn’t deny that the Catastrophe Sea Demon had incredible foresight, managing to gather all the high-bloodline Soul Pet eggs stolen from various races to this place for special cultivation!

Perhaps these un-hatched Soul Pet eggs were utterly useless now, but in ten years, twenty years, they would become a force with extreme destructive power and an extremely loyal following!

“Eh, they actually haven’t followed us inside.” Master Li was surprised as he looked at the underwater passages.

In fact, this cavern storing numerous Soul Pet eggs was surrounded by many similar passages, all of which led to different locations in the trench, clearly the energy hub of the entire Sea Infant Array.

Interestingly enough, as Chu Mu fought his way here and entered this Sea Infant Array, the Qinghai Lizards dared not chase after him anymore and could only linger outside the underwater passages.

“Haha, they are worried about the safety of these Soul Pet eggs,” Master Li laughed as if he had realized something.

Soul Pet eggs are very fragile and cannot withstand too much disturbance. If those Qinghai Lizards charged in and battled with Chu Mu here, they would certainly shatter those precious Soul Pet eggs.

Only they themselves knew how highly the Catastrophe Sea Demon valued these Soul Pet eggs!

“These Soul Pet eggs are so precious; why didn’t the Catastrophe Sea Demon send a stronger guard to protect this place?” Chu Mu had some doubts in his mind.

“Young Master, don’t you have common sense!” Master Li said disdainfully, “The Sea Infant Array is essentially like a Cultivation array. If a powerful Sea Demon guarded here, it would absorb all the energy, leaving nothing beneficial for the Soul Pet eggs. The guard outside the trench would be particularly strong, but within the range of this array, there would hardly be any Sea Demons. Otherwise, the resources would be seized by those more skilled at Absorption.”

Chu Mu nodded, roughly understanding the reason.

“Young Master, can your Space Ring fit everything?” Fox Elder suddenly asked.

“Yeah, go scout a safe route, and I’ll follow right behind,” said Chu Mu, grinning.

Although Fox Elder had short arms and legs, it was exceptionally adept at swimming in the water, quickly darting through the various passageways in the cave leading to different areas of the seabed to probe around.

“Young Master, there will be fewer enemies along this path,” reported Fox Elder after scouting.

By that time, Chu Mu had already swept up all the Soul Pet eggs in the cave.

Following the path Fox Elder pointed out, Chu Mu sped through the cave passageways, leaving the Sea Infant Array behind.

In fact, no matter which passageway Chu Mu chose to leave from, he would have been surrounded inside out. The terrifying aura congregated outside the Sea Infant Array, and the moment Chu Mu emerged, he would surely be ground into powder by the Qinghai Lizards!

Indeed, as soon as Chu Mu left the underwater passageway, what enveloped him wasn’t seawater anymore, but instead entirely the bodies of Qinghai Lizards, so dense that there wasn’t a single gap to be seen!

“Kekeke!!!! Keke!!! Keke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Kekekeke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

When the Qinghai Lizard horde saw Chu Mu coming out, their green eyes instantly studded around him like stars, their eyes filled with killing intent, making Chu Mu feel as if his heart was being pierced through a thousand times!

If this were on land, Chu Mu might dare to engage the Qinghai Lizard army, but in the ocean, he wouldn’t survive for more than a few minutes. Just a few waves of skill attacks would be enough to blast him to death.

However, Chu Mu was not panicked.

As he emerged from the passageway, he appeared calm and collected, rapidly rotating a handful of Soul Pet eggs in front of him in his palm.

Chu Mu knew that these Qinghai Lizards greatly valued the Soul Pet eggs. He slowly revolved the eggs around himself, and even without speaking the Sea Race language, his meaning was clear to the Qinghai Lizard army: Dare to attack me, and these eggs will be destroyed along with me!

Chu Mu flicked his finger, and one of the Soul Pet eggs immediately broke through the resistance of the seawater, hurtling towards a nearby rock!

Chu Mu had wrapped the Soul Pet egg in a layer of Space Barrier for protection so it wouldn’t shatter while breaking through the water, but if it hit something hard, it would surely smash on impact!

Seeing Chu Mu’s actions, the faces of the Qinghai Lizards turned ashen, and one of the nearby Peak Master Level Sea Lizard Monsters hurriedly dived to save it!

Observing the actions of that Qinghai Lizard Monster, the corners of Chu Mu’s mouth slightly lifted, and the frequency of his fingers flicking increased!

In an instant, over a hundred Soul Pet eggs were flying in all directions!

The average Qinghai Lizard simply couldn’t catch these eggs at such speed, and even though the Qinghai Lizards virtually monopolized the entire seafloor trench, only the ones with at least Peak Master Level strength or above might have a chance to catch them.

Chu Mu shot the Soul Pet eggs in various directions, even applying spatial jumps to them. For a time, the higher-ranking Qinghai Lizards scrambled in panic to catch the eggs.

After scattering more than a hundred of the strongest Qinghai Lizards, Chu Mu didn’t hesitate for a second. His body transformed into a Dark Star Sword, shooting straight upwards, forcefully breaking through the thick encirclement of the Qinghai Lizard army!

Without the obstruction of the Immortal Level and Peak Master Level Qinghai Lizards, Chu Mu was unstoppable, quickly reaching the outermost perimeter of the Qinghai Lizard army, breaking free from the trench.

“Young Master, why did you throw all those eggs?” Fox Elder winced as he saw the Soul Pet eggs falling back into the hands of Qinghai Lizards.

“Do you have a better plan to escape?” rebutted Chu Mu.

“No.”

Chu Mu turned back to look at the Qinghai Lizard generals who thought they had saved the Soul Pet eggs, and he smirked, “The Fishman Princess was right, these Qinghai Lizards indeed have low intelligence. These Soul Pet eggs were just items I picked up casually during the previous naval battle, intended to expand the New Moon Navy deputy team.”

Fox Elder was stunned, then realized that Chu Mu was wearing another, brighter Space Ring on his hand!

What a cunning strategy! Over a hundred nurtured Soul Pet eggs, the weakest at Quasi-Dominator Level, and the strongest at Immortal Level! These were juvenile pet resources obtained through the Catastrophe Sea Demon’s invasion of many Sea Races!

That’s a huge gain!!
