Chapter 35: I Have Crossed the Bone Mountains and the Sea of Blood…
Thanks to the countless awakenings, the two skeletons were finally eliminated by the Lightning Rat and the Little Skeleton in a prolonged fight.
Su Ping did not stop there. He took the Lightning Rat and the Little Skeleton with him to search for other prey around this huge mountain of bones, even though they were the most cruel life there.
When he ran out of strength, Su Ping would recover with a resurrection.
When his mind was tired, he would kill himself to recover.
Those people, rats, and skeletons were on an expedition along the mountain of bones. They only chose to bounce back at another location when they encountered a creature far superior to them. Then, they would begin their exploration again!
Time pass. Soon, three days had passed.
Su Ping had lost count of the number of revivals or places he had visited randomly. He just remembered there was a mountain with a huge pile of skeletons and bones, a dark forest that would feed on life energy, and a boundless ocean that bubbled with blood...
He had met many undead, some twisted and ugly, some charming and beautiful, some weak like an average skeleton with combat strength of no more than five and others so strong and powerful, he said, as high as a mountain, the Su Ping could not even see their complete appearance.
In this sinister environment, Su Ping, the Lightning Rat, and the Little Skeleton all grew rapidly.
Bang out!
Suddenly, the pale and transparent bodies of the two ghosts were suddenly enveloped by a large group of lightning; they were annihilated on the spot before they could get close!
A purple figure jumped out with a bolt of lightning striking his hair. The man landed gently, stepped with agile steps through the place where the ghosts were exterminated, and continued forward.
Behind him, a person and skeleton followed closely.
Compared to the previous three days, the appearance of the Lightning Rat had not changed much, unless its fur darkened and the power of thunder contained within it was thicker.
After all, the Lightning Rat was only ranked second. Releasing a few consecutive thunder family skills would reduce his energy storage.
Therefore, when the Lightning Rat learned the "Freedom of Thunder", the Lightning Rat gradually took on a more sophisticated way to store energy. The Lightning Rat would compress its energy to the extreme and fill its entire body with energy. Regarding the total amount of stored thunder energy, the Illumination Rats were no weaker than the fifth or sixth rank pets of the thunder family!
“Fruits of the Undead!”
Su Ping suddenly saw a strange dusty tree in front of him, with some fruits as bright as blood.
These fruits have a faint outline of the human face and are a favorite food of some pets of the thunder family. The fruit contained a powerful undead strength and could rarely be bought in the federation. After all, each of those fruits represented a lost life!
"Go!"
Su Ping retracted his gaze. Without hesitation, he told the Lightning Rat to attack the fruit tree.
Immediately after the Lightning Rat received Su Ping command, an electric arc exploded around the Lightning Rat, finally merging into a ball of lightning that roared towards the root of that fruit tree.
Bang out!
As the lightning strike approached, the rootstock buried underground suddenly pierced through the ground, reaching out toward the lightning strike, destroying the latter in an instant. However, its roots and twigs burned black and fell to the ground.
Bang out! Bang out! Bang out!
The Lightning Rat launched attacks consecutively with its thunder and lightning. The number of roots of this fruit tree decreases until finally the tree is unable to withstand a blow on its trunk that leaves a black mark. Su Ping could somehow hear an ominous scream coming from under the tree.
Su Ping showed no mercy. The Undead Tree will capture other lives, including skeletons and ghosts, to turn them into food. It just so happened that the pets of the thunder family were invincible opponents of such trees.
Soon, the fruit tree split in two. Su Ping took the Living Corpse Fruit and placed it in his storage room.
“Space storage almost full.”
Su Ping frowned when he realized how the storage space was almost at its limit. There were different types of pet food that he had collected on the trip during those three days. He had two more days and he could find more food, but he was afraid that the remaining storage space would not be enough.
"System, can storage space be increased?" Su Ping asked in his mind.
"Yes." Yeah."
"A hundred energy points for every cubic meter."
"certain."
Su Ping did not bid on the system because it never worked. He used the remaining points to increase the storage space. It was a rare chance that he could come to this top-tier cultivation site that would spend 9000 energy points on supplies. He did not want to lose some pet food just because he lacked storage space.
“It is unfortunate that the pet food harvested here is mostly pet food for the demon family, which is not much in demand. Some places will sell such food and few people will buy it. I have to think hard about distribution, ”said Su Ping to himself.
After harvesting the fruit, Su Ping advanced steadily.
Su Ping had searched the entire area after several unexpected deaths due to the surprise attack. Once again, he chose to revive in a random place and thus began exploring new areas.
On the fifth day.
“Time is almost over now ..”
Standing in front of the cliff, Su Ping stared at the muddy sea of corpses where many bones and remains were drenched, rising and descending with the tide.
Su Ping became immune to that hellish scene.
Near his feet, two little men stood in silence.
Compared to the previous five days, their appearance was not much different. Among them, Little Skeleton's changes were more obvious. The bones turned from grey to black and there seemed to be some bloodlines in the bones like veins.
As for the size of the Little Skull, it was still as high as Su Ping's knee. There is no growth in this.
It held a sharp bone knife in its hand. A dagger, to be exact.
This bone bar was made of skeletal fangs that were nearly 10 meters long!
After five days of training, the current Little Skeleton was more like a local skeleton born in the Chaotic Realm of the Undead. His energy turned from a young gray to a dull black. That energy moved around the Small Skeleton and the bone blades.
“This is the end of the road. Let's go."
Su Ping retracted his gaze after standing amidst the stinking sea breeze. He pulled out a pointed tooth from his sleeve.
This tooth was sharp; it was surrounded by some rotten aura.
Pffs!
Su Ping put on a flat face as he stabbed his chest with this sword.
When she felt pain, she curled her lips. “This is a mistake. I should have stabbed harder.”
He fell to the ground hard. Gazing at the red air, feeling the blood flowing out, Su Ping exclaimed to himself that this was a waste of time!
The Lightning Rat and Little Skeleton looked at him. They are worried but do not know what to do.
Although this had happened many times, they would feel anxious and wanted to do something when they felt life leaving their master's body due to the strength of the contract.
Not long after, elsewhere in the Chaotic Realm of the Undead, people, mice, and skeletons appeared out of thin air. After a moment of checking, they launched a ferocious attack on the undead creatures around them…
…
…
Pixie Pet Shop on Taohuaxi Street.
Shutter door closed. In the pitch-black.
Suddenly, a vortex appeared out of nowhere, spitting out three figures.
As the vortex gradually disappeared, someone opened his black eyes. Looking at the familiar shop he had left for days and breathing fresh air like never before, Su Ping felt that he had been resurrected from numbness and his life was back to normal.
