Chapter 807: Chapter 574: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind

As Chu Mu approached the heartland of the Sky Demon Worms, he dared not wander randomly into their nests. After all, there must be powerful Sky Demon Worms guarding the heartland. Accidentally alerting a big leader-level Sky Demon Worm would cause a large swarm of these creatures to follow Chu Mu.

The greatly reduced number of Sky Demon Worms in the heartland provided Chu Mu with an opportunity to infiltrate. Otherwise, in the past, with millions of Sky Demon Worms nesting in this group of Nest Peaks, no matter how Chu Mu hid, he would still be detected by the Sky Demon Worm army. After all, infiltrating a Fourth-Level Tribe was not an easy task.

“That should be the Main Nest Peak of this tribe.” Chu Mu raised his head and looked into the distance.

In front of him stood a bare, screw-like-shaped mountain peak resembling the black-brown color of the uncovered ground, with countless caverns distributed densely on it, reminiscent of a honeycomb’s structure.

The base of the entire mountain peak was vast, narrowing as it reached higher elevations, with its height probably reaching 10,000 meters. The towering peak penetrated the vast clear sky, exuding a powerful and sharp aura that made people feel fearful when looking up at it.

“Since it’s a Fourth-Level Tribe, there are likely two Low-grade Emperors. Among the million-strong army chasing Chu Tianren, there should be one Low-grade Emperor leading it,” said Fox Elder.

The majority of the forces in the Sky Demon Worms’ main nest had been emptied, so the primary danger should come from the Emperor-level Sky Demon Worms and the Peak Monarch-level Sky Demon Worms.

“There are about five kilometers to go to that place, I probably won’t enter for now to avoid being discovered.”

Chu Mu already felt that it would be very difficult to step into this last five kilometers. It was evident that the Sky Demon Worms around him, as Peak Monarch-levels, were patrolling the surrounding mountain peaks like sentry posts.

Chu Mu had yet to reach the Soul Emperor level, and these Peak Monarch-level Sky Demon Worms still posed a threat to him.

“Young Master, just wait around here. As soon as they make a move, the nearby Sky Demon Worms will definitely gather there. At that time, the Young Master can easily walk in without being detected,” said Fox Elder.

Chu Mu was very patient, so he found a hidden spot and hid there. At this time, Lu Zideng and the others should be racking their brains to find a way to sneak onto that Main Nest Peak unnoticed.

“Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~”

Suddenly, the sound of skills roared in the distance, and a slight tremble shook the earth and rocks!

Chu Mu hurriedly climbed up from behind the rocks and stared at the Main Nest Peak from afar.

“They started fighting, and their location is right at the Main Nest Peak. The Moonlight Magic Stone must be on this 10,000-meter tall peak,” said Fox Elder, also lying on the rock and talking to Chu Mu.

“Great, let them know what it means to be ‘the mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind’.” Chu Mu revealed a smile.

As Chu Mu had guessed, once the battle on the main peak began, the Sky Demon Worms acting like sentry guards all flew up and gathered towards the location of the Main Nest Peak.

In an instant, Chu Mu’s path forward became almost unobstructed, and he could stroll in without interference.

Of course, Chu Mu wouldn’t directly get involved in the battle; he rode Mo Ye and began to circle to another side of the Main Nest Peak to observe the fight.

The battle was intense, and by the time Chu Mu arrived, fissures resembling small canyons had formed on the ground, crisscrossing near the Main Nest Peak!

The skills’ radiance was dazzling, making the high-hanging gorgeous sun lose its luster!

From Chu Mu’s current position, he could see a total of six Ten-winged Sky Demon Worms.

Among the six Ten-winged Sky Demon Worms, one had a larger body with a pitch-black luster, as if it was cast from black gold. Its body was surrounded by swarms of black insects, like a cloud of demonic mist formed by demonic creatures. What was frightening was that whenever these swarms attacked, even if they didn’t hit the enemy, the ground, rocks, and mountains would be devoured, leaving nothing behind!

Obviously, this black-gold-colored Ten-winged Sky Demon Worm was a Low-grade Emperor, the strongest creature in this entire Fourth-Level Tribe!

Fighting head-on with this Low-grade Emperor was a Gnome-Wolf!

Gnome-Wolf: Demon Beast World – Beast type – Wolf Clan – Gnome-Wolf Sub-clan – High-Level Monarch

The Gnome-Wolf was a Wolf Clan Monarch and was a mainstream Beast Soul Pet like the Horned Armored Beast, Abyss Beast, Blood Beast, and Demon Tiger.

Lu Zideng’s Gnome-Wolf, which had been strengthened to the Low-grade Emperor level, could now compete against the Ten-winged Sky Demon Worm Low-grade Emperor. This Gnome-Wolf was Lu Zideng’s main pet!

As a Territory Lord of a Third-Level Earth Realm, Lu Zideng must have a Low-grade Emperor. His greatest reliance was precisely on this Gnome-Wolf, which he had strengthened from a Monarch to a Low-grade Emperor.

Although Lu Zideng’s Gnome-Wolf couldn’t fly, once it reached the Emperor level, it wouldn’t be at a significant disadvantage in aerial combat unless it faced a Winged System Soul Pet. Emperor-level Soul Pets could completely rely on their own strength to soar and perform flying steps.

The battle between the Gnome-Wolf and the Sky Demon Worm Emperor was the most eye-catching. The surrounding battles among the quasi-Emperors seemed to serve as foils, and the power of their skills was not in the same league at all.

As for those Peak Monarch Level Sky Demons, they could only hover at a farther distance during the battle, constantly harassing the human camp’s quasi-Emperors.

“Lu Zideng has five controls, 1 low-grade Emperor, and 4 quasi-Emperors. Another person has double control, 2 quasi-Emperors, a total of 6 quasi-Emperors, one more than the Sky Demon Worm quasi-Emperor lineup. However, there are still 20 Peak Monarchs among the Sky Demon Worms, and these 20 Peak Monarchs are enough to entangle 2 quasi-Emperors…” Chu Mu hid on the side and quietly observed, but his brows furrowed.

Battles between Emperors had strong fluctuations, and it was Chu Mu’s first time witnessing so many Emperor level fights. The astonishing sight of mountains collapsing and the earth splitting left one unable to calm down for a long time.

However, Chu Mu soon realized that in this chaotic battle between the Soul Emperor and the Sky Demon Worm Emperor, there seemed to be one person missing!

“That ugly Fang Li isn’t here. Those three are clever enough to use the “Tiger-moving” strategy twice.” Fox Elder also noticed and communicated his thoughts with Chu Mu using soul sense.

The first use of the Tiger-moving strategy was when they not only eliminated Chu Tianren’s potential hidden danger but also used Chu Tianren to draw away a large number of Sky Demon Worm legions.

Now, Lu Zideng and Zheng Kuang among these three people deliberately summoned all Emperor-level soul pets at once, intending to directly engage in a grand battle with the fourth-level tribe’s Sky Demon Worm Emperor lineup. They then quietly sneaked into the main nest peak once again to snatch what they wanted.

Lu Zideng and the others came here for the Moonlight Magic Stone. The Sky Demon Worm Emperor Level lineup was quite large, and it was almost impossible for them to kill them all. Even if they did, they would lose more than half of their forces. This bluffing method was indeed the best.

However, the meticulously planned Lu Zideng trio would not have thought that an undetected person was watching their breathtaking battle with the Sky Demon Worm Emperor camp and their Tiger-moving strategy quietly unfolding.

At this moment, this person, like Fang Li, was taking advantage of their battle and approaching the back of Sky Demon Worms’ Main Nest Peak.

“Young Master, your Night Thunder Dream Beast has not reached the Emperor level, so it’s almost impossible to climb up without alarming any Sky Demon Worms. Once the Sky Demon Worms discover that someone is attacking from behind, they will immediately surround this place, and then there will definitely be support from Quasi-Emperor Level Sky Demon Worms.” Fox Elder said to Chu Mu.

“Did I say I was going to climb up?” A smile appeared on Chu Mu’s face.

“If you don’t climb up, how can you get the Moonlight Magic Stone? Are you going to stay here and ambush Fang Li? He is a Soul Emperor and must have a Demon Spirit Emperor, ambushing him would be very difficult, and it’s not far from where the battle is taking place. Lu Zideng will definitely come to help quickly. Lu Zideng’s low-grade Emperor is very powerful. If the Young Master is discovered by him, he will certainly not survive.” Fox Elder said.

“I won’t ambush either.” Chu Mu shook his head, his eyes fixed on the high Main Nest Peak.

After pondering for a while, Fox Elder said, “Are you going to let Little Fox go? With no special hiding abilities, even in Chu Lian’s state, she can only climb up to five or six thousand meters at most. Any higher and she will be detected by higher-level Sky Demon Worms… ”

As they spoke, Fox Elder suddenly found Chu Mu staring at him. From Chu Mu’s gaze, Fox Elder seemed to have sensed something.

Fox Elder’s face changed immediately, and he hurriedly waved his hand, “Impossible, I can’t go up. Heaven knows if there is a quasi-Emperor guarding the main peak. If there is, I’m dead for sure. Even if there are no Emperors, it’ll be tough enough dealing with the Monarch legion.”

Chu Mu also knew Fox Elder’s abilities, and he couldn’t accomplish such a dangerous task alone.

…

At a height of 4,000 meters on the Main Nest Peak, two merged black shadows were slowly climbing upward along the mountain peak full of caverns. They moved extremely cautiously, for fear of alarming any Sky Demon Worms on guard.

“It’s better if there are no Emperor-level Sky Demon Worms guarding the main peak; otherwise, I’ll be detected at 9,000 meters, and it will take more effort to steal the Moonlight Magic Stone, and I may even be besieged.” Fang Li muttered as he struggled with the climb.

Fang Li’s current soul pet was an Invisible Demon Spirit. This was the primary reason why he could get 30% of the 50,000 Spirit worth of profit, 10% more than Zheng Kuang!

Now, only 6,000 meters separated him from the 50,000 Spirit worth Moonlight Magic Stone.

The difficulty of the upcoming distance wouldn’t be too high, but the heights of 8,000 meters and beyond, and 9,000 meters above, which were inhabited by high-level Sky Demon Worms, were the worrisome spots.

Fang Li guessed that there should be at least one quasi-Emperor left behind. One quasi-Emperor was manageable for Fang Li, but if there were also a large number of peak Monarchs and high-level Monarchs, the difficulty would increase by a lot. @@novelbin@@

“Swoosh~~~~~~”

“What the-!!” Fang Li exclaimed secretly.

Fang Li was climbing to the 5,000-meter mark when he discovered that a silver little fox was slowly approaching him from below!!

Fang Li knew that any creature that could walk so boldly in the Sky Demon Worm main nest peak was no ordinary being; his face changed dramatically as he stared at the mysterious little silver fox as if facing a formidable enemy!

“Woo~~~~~~” The delicate little beauty fox discovered Fang Li and harmlessly let out a mental sound towards him, as if asking him to wait.

Then, the delicate and exquisite little fox just ran over like that, and her little tail seemed to be wrapped with letter paper used by humans!

This left Fang Li wide-eyed with astonishment, as he wondered what was going on!! (
