Chapter 5 Art is Patrick Star.
After Yan Yuhua finished speaking, she and Deng Mu ate dinner together.
After dinner, Jiang Nannan and Deng Mu went to the bathroom to wash up.
"Little brother, let's sleep together tonight."
"Okay, okay."
Seeing that his sister wanted to sleep with him, Deng Mu reluctantly agreed to Jiang Nannan's suggestion.
He used to sleep with his sister often, but since she went to school, they rarely slept together.
His sister had a habit of pinching his cheeks from time to time, which made him not very fond of sleeping with her.
Yan Yuhua didn't say anything at this situation, just smiled. After all, what could happen between two children?
"Nannan, Xiao Mu, remember to go to bed early, don't play too late."
"Okay, we know."
Jiang Nannan and Deng Mu answered Yan Yuhua in unison.
After saying goodnight to Yan Yuhua, they went back to their rooms to rest. The next morning, Deng Mu got up early, ate some quick food for breakfast, packed some dry rations for lunch, and hurriedly left home for his secret base.
He needed to be back before evening, so he had to hunt spirit beasts early to get home sooner.
Upon arriving at the base, Deng Mu took out the explosives he had hidden the day before and headed towards the Soul Hunting Forest. Heading towards the Soul Hunting Forest, Deng Mu pondered which thousand-year-old spirit beast would be best for his first spirit ring.
A thousand-year-old plant-type spirit beast seemed quite good, and if possible, a thousand-year-old sub-dragon wouldn't be out of the question either.
However, thousand-year-old sub-dragon spirit beasts were extremely rare, practically impossible to find.
If anyone else encountered a thousand-year-old sub-dragon spirit beast alone, they would definitely run away because they couldn't defeat it, but he didn't need to worry about that.
Because he carries explosives, and because any damage he sustains will transfer to Tang San, he'll be unharmed even if he encounters someone ten thousand or a hundred thousand years old.
Even if Di Tian appeared now, he'd dare point his finger at him and curse him for three days and three nights.
If he can't become a god in the future, he'll go find Gu Yuena, slap her a few times, and let her kill him.
With Gu Yuena's strength, she could easily kill him; Tang San wouldn't last long, and he could inherit everything from Tang San.
"System, when can I bind a second person?"
Deng Mu asked the system in his mind. He really wanted to bind Huo Yuhao.
If he successfully bound Huo Yuhao, and Huo Yuhao later obtained a million-year soul ring, he could obtain a million-year soul ring as well.
Having a million-year soul ring would be quite a good thing.
[Ding! When the host reaches level 20, he can bind a second person. For every 10 levels gained, the host has one more opportunity to bind another person. If the host accidentally kills Tang San, he can choose another person to bind.]
"Understood."
Deng Mu listened to the system's words, indicating that he understood.
The second person to be bound was definitely Huo Yuhao. After Huo Yuhao, the bindings would be his enemies, and he would kill them one by one.
Several hours later, Deng Mu arrived near the Soul Hunting Forest.
Looking at the Soul Hunting Forest not far away, Deng Mu nervously swallowed. Although he knew he wouldn't be killed, he was still a little nervous.
Stepping into the Soul Hunting Forest, Deng Mu walked deeper into it.
The outer perimeter of the Soul Hunting Forest was mostly inhabited by ten-year-old soul beasts, and most of these soul beasts were even special ten-year-olds. He really looked down on those Pokémon.
After walking for a while, Deng Mu saw a human corpse in the distance. Upon closer inspection, he confirmed it was a female corpse.
The female corpse appeared to be in her early twenties, fairly attractive, but covered in wounds and blood.
"Hmm? Wait, this person seems to have died recently?!"
Deng Mu examined the corpse's injuries and realized she had only recently died.
This meant one thing: the soul beast that killed her was likely nearby.
Thinking this, Deng Mu swallowed hard, cautiously observing his surroundings.
There were many trees around, and he wasn't sure where the soul beast was hiding.
What kind of soul beast could it be…
Deng Mu wondered silently as he remained vigilant.
Just then, a figure suddenly rushed out, attacking Deng Mu rapidly.
"Damn, it's a plant-type soul beast."
When Deng Mu realized what was happening, he found his legs entangled in vines.
Following the direction of the vines, Deng Mu saw a white jade vine, its age unknown.
The white jade vine was similar to the green jade vine, resilient and incredibly tenacious, but with one key difference: the green jade vine was not aggressive, while the white jade vine was extremely aggressive, even enjoying devouring the corpses of various creatures.
"Not bad, you're the one."
Deng Mu muttered to himself, looking at the white jade vine not far away.
He sensed that this white jade vine was very old, probably around four thousand years old. He didn't know how to judge the age of a soul beast; his teacher would teach him that later, so he could only guess. He planned to detonate the white jade vine and kill it once he got close.
He couldn't help but feel grateful that he had the system, otherwise he would be dead by now.
With only a meter left to the white jade vine, Deng Mu didn't hesitate to ignite the explosives in his arms.
"Art is Patrick Star!"
After igniting the explosives, Deng Mu rolled to the side of the white jade vine with them in his arms.
He had originally wanted to stand up and hug the white jade vine, but he found that he couldn't stand up at all, so he had to settle for rolling to the side of the white jade vine.
"Boom—"
A huge explosion rang out, and many soul beasts were frightened away by the sound.
A little girl, seeing the frightened soul beasts, collapsed to the ground unconscious.
"Cough cough cough, this damn explosives didn't work well."
Deng Mu got up from the ground, coughing as he spoke.
His clothes were intact, though a bit dirty, but he was completely black, as if he'd just come out of a mine.
He couldn't understand why he'd become so dark after the explosion, almost as dark as a black man. He needed to find a place to shower later.
Otherwise, his mother would hang him up and beat him when he got back. Although she said she was good to him, she would still punish him if he made a mistake.
Looking at the white jade vine that had been blown up, Deng Mu thought the explosive power was quite impressive.
A purple spirit ring floated out from the white jade vine's corpse, hovering above it.
Looking at this thousand-year spirit ring, Deng Mu sat cross-legged on the ground and began to absorb it.
After the thousand-year spirit ring entered his body, Deng Mu felt its pressure, but the pressure disappeared the next second.
He knew that the pressure had gone to Tang San, and it was only a matter of time before he successfully absorbed the thousand-year spirit ring.
