Chapter 3: The Coercion of Death

"Clap! Clap! Clap!!!!!!"The sounds of several claps rang out in the bloody camp, which meant that this terrifying nightmare had finally come to an end!

Under the sea breeze that blew into the camp, the smell of blood began to permeate everywhere. And the rain fell timely in this open-air camp, pattering on the faces of those trembling children, watering the small corpses that had lost their lives in pools of blood, and washing away the blood on their bodies.

The camp ground began to turn muddy, with rainwater mixing with blood...

The cruel fanged wolves were taken back by their soul pet masters. After the slaughter, exactly fifty children were left. For the others, at the moment of their death, I'm afraid their souls had already been swallowed by the Demons within their bodies. Their corpses would soon be dragged to other places. After extracting the Demons that had feasted on them, they would be thrown into the vast ocean.

"Starting from tomorrow, you will be allowed to move freely within this island. There are many soul pets on this island that are suitable for you. You can choose them yourself, sign soul contracts with them, and then train them on this island.

"Three months from now, there will be a duel. The top ten will be sent to another island to continue the Demon training. As for the others, humph, they will all be thrown into the sea to feed the hunting sharks!" The middle-aged man pointed at these surviving children and said loudly.

After saying that, the middle-aged man showed a cold smile and continued, "Of course, you'd better not ignore the devil inside your body. If you don't quickly improve your own soul power, you will become pitiful food..."

When it came to the devil inside their bodies, the children's faces immediately turned much paler, and their expressions were all gloomy, showing a kind of helplessness and despair as if being chased by the God of Death.

"Go back to your dens. Be glad that you managed to survive... It's a pity that tomorrow, you will face new death challenges again! Also, I'll give you another piece of advice. Don't enter the inner island area. It's a death zone for you!"

Without a trace of pity, but with mocking voices, the thirteen deacons turned their backs and left, leaving fifty corpses in this bloody camp...

The rain was still washing away the blood from those thin corpses. The surviving children could only step on their corpses and leave this camp to go to another accommodation camp.

...

...

There were a total of twenty-five wooden houses in the accommodation camp. The wooden houses were fairly sturdy and delicate, neatly distributed near the seaside of the camp. It should be said that the environment was quite good.

Of course, the good environment was not because those cold-blooded people wanted to provide the children with a good living condition. It was because this island was a long-term Demon training camp. After this batch of children died or left, other children would be sent here to repeat their history of blood and tears.

...

Chu Mu's back was already torn open, and he looked very tired when he walked back to his wooden house.

As soon as he opened the door, Chu Mu felt someone splashing water on his back, making his wound burn with pain.

Chu Mu immediately turned around angrily and saw Zhou Shengmo wearing a disgusting smile.

"You're really lucky. You didn't die even like this!" Zhou Shengmo sneered.

Chu Mu sneered and didn't bother to have a verbal argument with this guy. Because in Chu Mu's eyes, Zhou Shengmo would sooner or later be a dead man. Even if he wasn't killed by the soul beasts of those deacons, Chu Mu would kill this bastard with his own hands!

"Actually, I was helping you in the camp. Maybe after a while, when the Demon swallows your soul, you will regret why you didn't just die under the claws of the fanged wolf, so as not to suffer the pain of having your soul devoured! Hahaha!" Zhou Shengmo laughed loudly and then swaggered away.

Chu Mu looked at that fat and burly guy but still sneered, showing a depth of mind that was not typical of his age.

Chu Mu's depth of mind came from his family education and was also forced by this hellish life. Any child sent here had a dark and cold heart.

Chu Mu opened the door and walked into the wooden house.

There were originally three other people living in the wooden house, but obviously, they couldn't come back anymore. After all, these three people were too weak.

Chu Mu didn't have much contact with them. He only remembered that one of them was a girl. A girl's body was naturally weaker than a boy's, and the possibility of surviving under the claws of the fanged wolves was extremely slim. So, it was reasonable to think that this wooden house now belonged to Chu Mu alone.

Chu Mu's back was still bleeding. He first changed out of his wet clothes, washed the filth off his body with water, and took the opportunity to clean his wound. Then he took out the wound medicine left here by the deacons from the drawer.

It was obviously difficult for him to apply the wound medicine on his back by himself. Chu Mu lay on the bed with great effort. After struggling and sweating a lot, and hurting the wound several times, he still failed to apply the medicine to the wound.

"Let me help you..."

"Ah~~~~"

The two voices appeared very suddenly. The previous voice was quite delicate. But because Chu Mu didn't realize that there was still someone in the room, he jumped up from the bed very vigilantly. The scream was naturally because the movement was too intense, causing the wound on his back to ache sharply again!

"It's you. You're not dead..." Chu Mu said with a bitter smile when he saw the wet girl.

"I was lucky to survive... Let me apply the medicine for you..." The girl said.

The girl's name was Ting Yu, and she also lived in this wooden house. Chu Mu thought she was dead, but he didn't expect that except for some bruises on her body, this girl had no obvious wounds. It seemed that she was also a smart girl.

Chu Mu nodded and lay on the bed, allowing Ting Yu to help him apply the wound medicine.

When the girl was helping him apply the medicine, Chu Mu still maintained a trace of vigilance. After all, only ten people could survive three months later. If this seemingly weak girl was ruthless, she was very likely to take this opportunity of applying the medicine to kill him in order to reduce the competition!

Ting Yu applied the medicine carefully, and there were no suspicious movements during the whole process, which gradually made Chu Mu feel that the pain was relieved.

"I helped you today. If I'm in trouble in the future, you have to help me too, okay?" After helping Chu Mu bandage up, Ting Yu said.

The girl was very realistic, but at the same time, it also showed that she had no hostility towards Chu Mu. She just wanted to maintain an alliance relationship.

Chu Mu nodded and said indifferently, "I'll try my best..."

"My Green Demon is growing very fast. It may reach the third rank in ten days. I'm worried that my soul power won't be enough to feed it, and my soul will be swallowed by it." Ting Yu sat on her bed, hugging her knees and shivering as she said.

"Work hard. If you don't want to die..." For Ting Yu's sad words, Chu Mu could only offer a simple word of comfort.

Soul pets all have a process of improving their own strength, and the evil soul pets, Demons, are no exception.

Just like the fanged wolves that Chu Mu faced before, when fanged wolves are first born, after reaching the juvenile stage from the infant stage, they will start to experience the so-called growth, starting from the first rank...

The fanged wolves of the deacons on the Demon Island have all grown to the fifth rank and are extremely aggressive. The children who are powerless are definitely unable to resist them.

And the Demons in the bodies of Chu Mu and the children on this island are also growing rank by rank. Now, probably all of their Demons are at the second rank.

Every time a Demon rises by one rank, its appetite will increase. Previously, at least two or three hundred people had their souls devoured alive because their own soul power was not enough to feed the Demons when the Demons grew to the second rank.

"I feel that you don't seem to be worried at all. Are you very confident in yourself?" Ting Yu asked.

Chu Mu shook his head bitterly but didn't say anything more to Ting Yu.

In fact, Chu Mu was the one among all the children who had the least confidence in surviving from the shadow of the Demon.

Because all the children here had signed contracts with Green Demons, but the one in Chu Mu's body was a White Demon that was much more terrifying than the Green Demon!

At the same second rank, the appetite of the White Demon was much larger than that of the Green Demon. Moreover, the higher the growth rank, the greater the increase in its appetite. It was simply beyond the ability of a ten-year-old soul pet master to bear. It was precisely for this reason that those deacons believed that Chu Mu was already a dead man.

The number of people who survived the curse of the White Demon was extremely small. Or rather, the White Demon was originally a killer, and Chu Mu's fate had been sealed when he signed the soul contract with the White Demon.

This coercion of death could only force Chu Mu to enhance his strength to the maximum of his potential!
