The Charm of Soul Pets

Chapter 1281: Dark Island, Pirate Nest

“I almost forgot, the dark sky pirate head Hu Huang also participated.” Hai Qie suddenly remembered something and said to Chu Mu.

“Hu Huang?”

Chu Mu definitely had to search for Ning Maner. Since the pirates had some clues, Chu Mu naturally had to memorize this name.

Chu Mu comforted Hai Qie and said, “Don’t worry, this time New Moon Navy will definitely defeat these dark sky pirates!”

Hai Qie nodded heavily, “Thank you, I’ve waited for this day for too long!”

“You can go back to sleep, you can kill more pirates when you’re well rested.” Chu mu said.

“En.” After talking with Chu Mu, Hai Qie’s emotions were relieved. Before she left, her gaze fell on Chu Mu and she slightly smiled, asking Chu Mu, “You said that Bai Jinrou’s body is already dead but her spirit lives on. I can tell that she likes staying around you a lot..... Will you revive her no matter what?”

Chu Mu paused, not expecting Hai Qie to suddenly ask such a question. He laughed bitterly, “Revival isn’t an easy task. I’ll try my best.”

“I feel like if you put your mind to something, you would do it no matter what. Why say try your best? If you say try your best, then it probably isn’t your true intentions.” Hai Qie said.

Hai Qie had such a firm perception of Chu Mu’s personality because of Chu Mu’s actions in demon burial ground. He could run into the deadly demon burial mound for a soul pet that had already died. This wasn’t a mentality any normal person could have.

Chu Mu didn’ t know how to reply to Hai Qie.

Doing something no matter what and trying his best indeed weren’t the same. If the person who lost her body was Ye Qingzi, Chu Mu would have replied no matter what without hesitation.....

“I don’t know either.” Chu Mu said helplessly.

“So you’re just like great leader Xu. You people aren’t afraid of powerful enemies but always love avoiding certain things.” A glimmer of loneliness flickered through Hai Qie’s eyes as she turned around. When she left, she was muttering to herself, “There’s people who always think that I entered the navy only to kill pirates.”

As Chu Mu watched Hai Qie leave, he also heard her bitter mutterings.

“Huhuhuhu~~~~”

The sea wind blew over, leaving a salty breeze that messied chu Mu’s hair.

He laid against the railings and gazed into the ocean.

In the air, a floating pale flame slowly came down and fell in Chu Mu’s palm, dancing around his fingertips. Whenever Chu Mu’s thoughts were in a mess, he would always have a little flame in his hands like this......

......

The ocean slowly turned from blue to black, marking another night’s advent. This ocean seems to always feel dark.

The tides reached high into the skies, nearly touching the low hanging clouds.

The clouds were dense without a single ray of light. The oppressive aura caused people to feel difficulty even in their breathing.

“We’re near the dark island!” The scout leader riding his Ocean Eagle fell beside the command room and gave this news to Sang Ying.

“A few seemingly private boats appeared nearby.” Another scout came down with his ocean eagle.

“Heng, probably some bandit’s disguised boat. The boat is filled mostly with explorers that seem honest and frank, but in reality they probably have killed countless lives and have stolen the virginity of many women.” Hai Qie humphed, her eyes making no attempt to disguise her hatred for pirates.

“Uh....” Sang Ying was just about to speak when Hai Qie’s interjection left him speechless.

“If they’re in disguise, let’s disguise ourselves as having made a mistake in navigation. Tell everyone to hide their auras well so they can’t tell our complete strength.” Yuan Sui said.

Continuing forward, there indeed were seemingly normal boats getting closer.

“Hey, where are you from? Those boats look really impressive!” From afar, a mental voice came from an orange boat.

Hearing them start a conversation directly, the experienced Sang Ying immediately smiled.

Sang Ying himself was an explorer before. Such communication he was the best at.

“Friend, we’re a ship from New Moon Ground. It’s our first time out of sea returning from Guan City to New Moon ground, but I think we messed up navigating. This sea really is annoying, the compass always seems to get messed up.” Sang Ying replied from afar.

In the disguised Pirate Ship

The pirate ship\'s captain is the dark island leader Zhuo Xiong and also the leader Zhuo Qing’s nephew. He heard long ago that the outer patrol teams heard news that a luxurious ship crew was heading their way so he came himself to check it out.

“New Moon Ground, what place is that, does anyone know?” Zhuo Xiong glanced over everyone and asked.

Zhuo Xiong wasn’t your typical pirate, fierce looking and with a full beard. Just opposite, this person looked quite delicate and scholarly. He often succeeded in disguising as explorers on sea and entering luxurious ships and then taking over from the inside. Those familiar with him all knew that the man was just like their bigger leader Zhuo Qing. He was a wolf in sheep’s skin. He wouldn\'t even skip a beat when killing people. No matter if it was kids, old people, women- he didn’t discriminate. He also had terrifying fetishes!

“Leader, New Moon Ground- I know of it. It’s the west most realm in Zhenming Continent. Iheard before that it had went independent from its governing realm. It’s actually pretty close to our island but because of the dark sky ocean beast’s presence, we never went there before.” A person that keeps up with the news said.

“With this many ships, it doesn\'t look like its a small realm?” Zhuo Xiong rubbed his chin and said.

“This.... I don’t know. Because its Zhengming Continent, I don’t hear from them a lot. Maybe Old Zhong will know more.” The news pirate said.

Zhuo Xiong thought for a while and specially looked at the thirty shiny boats and had a plan.

“You few, go act friendly and lead the way for them. I’ll go back to the island to ask about this. Don’t make a mistake, this is a super big fish!” Zhuo Xiong asid.

“Leader, you....” The vice captain called Yao Zhi immediately understood.

Everytime Zhuo Xiong’s gaze flashed, someone was going to be unlucky. This time, Zhuo Xiong’s eyes were filled with a glow. Even his face showed excitement.

“If anything goes wrong, I’ll string you up on a stake and burn you!” Zhuo Xiong glared at his subordinates.

All the pirates shuddered. Zhuo Xiong’s most perverted punishment was burning. He used a stake to skewer people from the throat down and then put them over a fire!
