Astral Pet Store – Chapter 179
“Where did you get this Hell Dragon?”
Old Mo and Chen looked at Su Ping in great astonishment. How much wealth and how many connections should Su Ping enjoy for being able to buy the best of the best pets?
Nie Chengkong was also surprised. He thought Su Ping would summon that special skeleton. He had no idea that Su Ping possessed this rare Hell Dragon!
Gou Yuelin, Zhou Jing, and Ye Chenshan were all stunned stiff.
Su Ping did not stop there. He also summoned the Small Skeleton.
The Small Skeleton entry was calm. If the Hell Dragon that came out was like throwing a meteorite into a lake, stirring up waves and tides, then the Little Skeleton was like a pebble thrown into the water, stirring up some ripples.
Looking at the Little Skeleton that was slightly over a meter tall, everyone fell silent.
Nie Chengkong was surprised. “Is this the skeleton?”
“Ya.” Luo Guxue nodded. This Little Skeleton had managed to kill Magical Corpse Beasts in the past and was currently able to defeat rank nine beasts easily. This Little Skeleton is really strange!
Su Ping then proceeded to summon the Purple Python.
The Purple Python was over a hundred meters long, as large as the Bloodthirsty Snake and the Blood Flood Dragon. Su Ping did not summon the Purple Python to fight, but to become his bodyguard to protect himself.
Su Ping was not sure that the Earth Dragon could provide sufficient protection.
The Purple Python size came as a surprise. This one seemed to be larger than an ordinary Purple Piton.
However, Purple Snakes were beasts with medium-level lineages; they were cheap and unwelcome. The others did not understand why Su Ping was nurturing an ordinary pet like the Purple Python when he had the Hell Dragon. It was unnecessary and the Purple Python would only waste the available space in its spirit.
“Because Mr. Su has called Python Purple, I myself cannot be stingy.” Nie Chengkong glanced at the pet called Su Ping and his eyes paused for a moment when he saw the Hell Dragon. Nie Chengkong raised his hand and summoned two more fighting pets in the middle position and the top position of the eighth rank respectively.
Theoretically, in a battle against a rank nine beast, those two fighting pets would not help much. However, since Su Ping had even summoned a sixth rank Purple Python, Nie Chengkong felt he could not hide his two pets. They're not trying hard! Old Mo and Chen curled their lips.
They hesitated for a moment and then each summoned a secondary pet, both of whom were in the intermediate position of the eighth rank.
“Pet secondary pet relief and ninth rank fighting pets, cost.”
Nie Chengkong saw the team. His confidence increased after seeing the pets added. The only thing that bothered him was that Su Ping's Inferno Dragon seemed to have just reached adulthood, so his abilities might not be very good. If the Hell Dragon was ranked ninth, it could defeat the sub-dragon itself within the cave; there was no need for other pets to join. Old Mo and Chen were relieved to hear Nie Chengkong's strategy. If a secondary pet was sent to fight against a sub-dragon in the top position of the ninth rank, it would practically be suicidal.
“Do you think we should set up some traps outside to lure that sub-dragon out?” Zhou Jing asked. He has an agile intelligence and a talent for unusual ways.
Nie Chengkong had the same idea. “Ya.”
Su Ping, on the other hand, tried to say no because he considered this a waste of time. However, since they wanted to play it safe, Su Ping had to swallow his disapproval. Staying safe is not a bad thing if something goes wrong.
Soon, they made a plan.
They chose the nearby valley as the location of the ambush. Above, on the edge of the valley were some huge stones that had been prepared by the Earth Dragon. The large stones were made of iron elements extracted from the earth. They were more like big iron balls, not big stones.
Ye Chenshan and the other pets lurked on the side of the valley. Traps containing fire, lava, and ice have been installed.
The trap is ready. The big question is.
Who should go and lure the Flame Flood Dragon out?
Su Ping acted unconcernedly. Naturally, he did not want to stand out. He was confident that he could kill this Fire Flood Dragon alone. That being said, this time, he was in real life. Who knows if something has changed?
Perhaps the strength of this Flame Flood Dragon had been enhanced. What if the Fire Flood Dragon was not in the top position of the ninth rank as he had seen at the cultivation location? In that case, fishing a flood dragon out would endanger him.
The others looked at Su Ping because they wanted him to take the lead. After all, it seemed like Su Ping was familiar with the situation inside the cave. However, to actually propose this out loud was difficult.
“Forget. Allow me.” Nie Chengkong looked around and everyone avoided eye contact. He knew that no one wanted to do this task. Su Ping was familiar with the cave, but he was the one who provided the intelligence. During their entire journey, Su Ping had made countless contributions. Nie Chengkong could not force himself to ask Su Ping to take this risk.
Moreover, the Hell Dragon Su Ping seemed to have just reached adulthood. Nie Chengkong thought the Inferno Dragon might not be as strong as the Dark Dragon Hound. Su Ping's core strength was in the Little Skeleton. From the looks of it, his strength was about the same as that of the Dark Dragon Hound. Nie Chengkong did not have much hope for the Little Skeleton.
Everyone was relieved that Nie Chengkong had volunteered.
Nie Chengkong asked Su Ping about the specifics inside the cave. Su Ping gave a brief introduction of the terrain but did not reveal too many specifics. After all, some details could not be found in ordinary scouting. Saying too much can invite unwanted suspicion.
Nie Chengkong was slightly relieved after getting the information from Su Ping. He took a deep breath and told the others to wait there and provide help when necessary.
He trusted his team-mates.
Zhou Jing and the others nodded and told Nie Chengkong to be careful.
Immediately, Nie Chengkong made the Fallen Priest and the Bloodthirsty Snake lead and slowly entered the cave.
A moment later, Nie Chengkong disappeared from everyone's sight as he went further.
People waited quietly outside. As time went on, some started to get anxious.
Su Ping was calm. He calculated the time based on the speed of Nie Chengkong's movements. After about seven minutes, Su Ping continued to pay attention to the cave opening and said, “He should be out in a moment.”
The explosion!
Something collapsed in the cave.
The sound surprised everyone. They're coming!
In the next moment, Nie Chengkong was the first to appear before everyone's eyes. He ran like crazy. When he saw his teammates, he said to them in a hurry, “Go to the valley!”
Roars!!
From the cave behind him came out several angry roars. Something hit the inner wall of the cave. It was an indication of a fierce battle.
Everyone turned around and rushed towards the valley.
Nie Chengkong caught up with them and everyone returned to the valley together. Not long after they arrived, the Fallen Priest and the Bloodthirsty Snake also quickly entered the valley. Along the way, the Bloodthirsty Snake had used his skill, hitting the ground with his tail. Many places on the ground collapsed and it slowed down the beasts that were chasing them.
Behind them was a flood dragon nearly two hundred meters long and winding like a winding mountain road. The flood dragon was covered with flaming red scales. The flood dragon shouted and its movements were extremely fast. Despite being slowed down by a hole in the ground, the flood dragon quickly approached the two fighting pets. Nie Chengkong was worried. He clenched his fists.
Soon, the Fire Flood Dragon arrived in the valley. Currently, it was only a hundred meters away from the Fallen Priest. “Do!” Nie Chengkong shouted in a hasty tone.
The trap is ready. All activated simultaneously. From above the valley, heavy iron balls began to fall down. There are dozens of them! Each of those iron balls could have smashed and torn down a ten-story building, to then make a huge hole in the ground. Meanwhile, the Flare Bird, which had been injured earlier, began to spill the lava that had been prepared earlier from the side of the valley. Lava moved towards the Flame Flood Dragon.
Spikes, ice blades, storms, and other skills that had been ready to be unleashed instantly, targeting the Fire Flood Dragon. Usually, not all nails and blades can hit the target. However, as his skills were ready for a while, everything landed right on target. “Link Stone!” Chen's eyes shone as he shouted. He poured astral power into his pet. The Earth Dragon shouted and its strength seemed to increase. The Earth Dragon stood in the air above the valley and exerted some strength from its feet onto the stone wall on the side of the valley which began to tremble.
The explosion!
The stone walls closed rapidly around the Fire Flood Dragon. It will be squeezed to death!
“Stars Earth Calling!”
Nie Chengkong asked the Bloodthirsty Snake to release the ninth rank skill of the stone family as well. Elements of the ground gathered in the air and then they formed a square stone that matched the valley. The stone shattered, blocking the path of the Flame Flood Dragon.
Bang out!
Rumbling sounds came from the valley as if bombarded.
The dust is agitated. But Nie Chengkong had already told the Fallen Priest who was holding his staff to take action.
A deep dark and rotten air was emitted from the Fallen Priest. The air is corrosive and can cause hallucinations. When a low-level beast touched this dirty air, even a little, it would lose their senses instantly. Their blood will flow backwards and the beasts will bleed to death!
Many augmentation skills were used on the Fallen Priest who had grown in size. The Fallen Priest gained more momentum.
Whooshing sound!
More than a hundred shadows of the great staff of the Falling Priest were produced. The Fallen Priest smashed his staff and a hundred shadows into one.
With a loud, earth trembling. More dust clouds stirred.
Roars!!
Amidst the dust, something exploded with an angry roar and an evil spirit.
The powerful flames instantly swept out and removed the dust and fog. The Fire Flood Dragon stood on top of the flames, shouting and spitting out flames.
The Fallen Priest tried to fight back. However, as this was a rank nine dragon flame with a strong impact, the staff immediately burned red and the Fallen Priest was destroyed.
It's macabre. No one would have expected that the Fire Flood Dragon could show such strength after receiving so many blows.
That being said, previous efforts were effective. The many iron balls thrown by the Earth Dragon alone had posed great danger. There were many places that collapsed on the back of the Flame Flood Dragon. His scales broke and blood flowed out. Amidst the flames, the blood had dried up, leaving a visible mark on the back of the Fire Flood Dragon.
Su Ping felt relieved after seeing the Fire Flood Dragon. This was what he saw at the cultivation location, the Fire Flood Dragon at the top of the ninth rank. It was just that this Fire Flood Dragon was thinner, colder, and gloomier. This might be a different Fire Flood Dragon, the child from the one he saw at the cultivation site.
“Come go!”
Nie Chengkong bit his teeth. The trap succeeds but fails to pose the level of danger it has anticipated. The only way left for them was to fight the Flame Flood Dragon at close range.
Fortunately, after their previous battles, they had all developed a great sense of teamwork. They can help their pets use their abilities to the fullest.
Old Mo forced a smile. He had no other choice but to tell his Death Scythe to join.
Without hesitation, Chen told his Ground Dragon to land in the valley to add an earth shield to the Death Crescent, the Fallen Priest, the Bloodthirsty Snake and himself. At the same time, the Earth Dragon used a dragon shield, dragon-scale protection and other skills that were stronger than the earth shield. However, the latter skill could not be used on anyone or anything other than the Land Dragon itself. Even Chen could not enjoy the benefits.
After finishing building all those shields, the Earth Dragon shouted. It took the lead and ran towards the furious Fire Flood Dragon.
