The Astral Pet Store
Chapter 174
Astral Pet Store – Chapter 174
People looked towards the designated place of the leader. It seemed to be the entrance to the valley sandwiched between two high cliffs that prevented most of the sunlight from entering, so no one could see what was inside.
The whistling sound of wind passing through the entrance seemed almost like a ghostly cry, sending a chill down everyone's backs. Even from a distance, they could feel the sharp smell of the decomposing body and the impurities mixed into one, which was strengthened to an extremely terrifying degree thanks to the hot environment.
Su Ping silently recalled the useful clues he could recall. During his training, he had fought and died many times in this place.
“Supervise carefully, everyone,” command Nie Chengkong using a small voice, “Tell me as soon as you see the slightest hint.”
Zhou Jing and Guo Yuelin agreed without lifting their concentration from their pets, while Old Mo slightly nodded as a receipt.
“Grrrr..”.
The Dark Dragon Hound grew even more agitated as his eyes revealed rays of excitement and bloodlust. It would have charged into the valley if not for Su Ping constantly restraining his actions.
“Is there a problem, Mr Su?” nie Chengkong asked, as he saw the unusual reaction of the dog.
Old Mo also looked at Su Ping carefully, worried that he would ignore the important clues seen on Su Ping's face.
“... If my pet senses are not dead, there must be a bunch of Hell Spiders there. Stay careful.” In fact, this had nothing to do with the Dark Dragon Hound. Although Su Ping would happily use this as an excuse rather than telling everyone that he already knew about this area before.
“Hell Spider?” Nie Chengkong frowned in confusion. “I'm afraid I've never heard of such a thing before.”
The appearance of everyone present showed that they all did not know about it.
Su Ping only remembered that this spider should have been extinct a long time ago. Modern illustration books published by the Federation no longer include them. “This is, well, a rather old species. Maybe it's only known by a few archaeologists today, so it's pretty normal if you don't know it.”
It makes everyone feel more worried. If that was the case, where would a young man like Su Ping learn about such a creature? Does this mean he is as wise as the senior scholars?
Although Nie Chengkong only cared about their safety than where Su Ping got that knowledge from, he asked, “Can you tell us their ratings?”
“High seventh rank,” said Su Ping, “However, their large number is enough to help them against ninth rank opponents. But don't worry, because it's not a big deal for us. The only thing we should be aware of is avoiding their poison. That is, do not get bitten. As I said, you won't find this spider anywhere else, so the hospital will probably no longer remember how to treat the venom. If anything is careless, you could be forced out of our mission, or in worse cases, die. ”
People are obviously not happy to hear about something so deadly.
Chen stepped. “I will tell my Land Dragon to protect us, while the captain and Mr. Mo will use their pets to attack, siding with the extra help provided by others, he said, like we did a moment ago. How does it sound?”
Nie Chengkong considered and looked at Old Mo, hoping to get an opinion.
The old man nodded back. “That's our plan then.”
Deep down, the old man also wanted to get the Dark Dragon Hound at the forefront, but did not consider the suggestion appropriate as Su Ping had contributed greatly to the team. He would be in a very embarrassing situation if the others all rejected his idea.
“OK. Prepare to enter.” Nie Chengkong gave the order.
Chen ordered his dragon to apply a high-level defense spell to everyone's body, causing them to glow slightly. Within seconds, they were covered by armor made of stone and earth that protected their entire body except for their eyes and ears.
Nie Chengkong told the Falling Priest to move forward, while the old man's Death Crescent followed behind. Meanwhile, everyone remained behind the Earth Dragon while keeping their astral perception flourishing.
Immediately, they saw broken spider webs and monster corpses scattered randomly here and there, which was enough to prove Su Ping's words.
They had been walking for some time without finding any spiders. However, they continued to move as slowly and carefully as possible because Su Ping had just told them that these insects were good at hiding within the rock crevices and hidden corners.
After a while of walking, Su Ping lost his temper. He ordered his Dark Dragon Hound to rush forward.
Holy hooch!
A deafening growl carrying the menacing will of a dragon echoed within the valley, causing the Earth Dragon to suddenly gasp in fear. Then he became angry at realizing that it was the “black” dog that made that sound, but not the high-level dragon as he had imagined.
The Dark Dragon Hound howled again, almost forcing the Earthen Dragon to retreat.
“Mr Su??” Nie Chengkong looked at Su Ping with a questioning gaze. There was no doubt that it was Su Ping who made the dog act in such a way.
“Prepare to fight. We will do it in a quick way.”
Cracks, cracks! Pieces of rock and stone suddenly fell from the nearby cliff wall, revealing several large black spiders that looked as big as small transport vans. Each of them has an extra fanged mouth part on the back, from which the tongue is slender and can be stretched out; the tip is another sharp jaw used for biting.
The mental peace of the people was instantly shattered by that sinister sight.
Chen reacted first by ordering his dragon to summon the earth shield again. The dragon was still frustrated at the Dark Dragon Hound, even though he heeded the order in time.
“Kill them!” Nie Chengkong also started ordering the Fallen Priest to fight. It is actually a good thing that the spider chooses to come out in the open rather than wait in the dark for an ambush.
“Job! I forgot to -” Chen looked at Su Ping and suddenly felt a terrible deja vu hit his mind. “I—I didn't mean it!”
Inside the shield, they could hear the dog still attracting the attention of more spiders by roaring wildly. It is clear that it is better to keep the dog protected than to leave it outside.
The others looked at Chen with a look of blame as they wondered if this man was deliberately making Su Ping difficult.
