The Astral Pet Store
Chapter 182
Astral Pet Store – Chapter 182
The bodies must have been left there for a long time because they had become bones. And even his bones looked rotten.
From a single glance, Su Ping could see at least a hundred corpses within the crater, mixing with the occasional human skeleton. There were also some fresh human corpses lying on top of the pile, whose blood had yet to fully condense. Not far from them, the corpse of the Silver Winged Dragon pitifully slumped to the side. One of his wings had been torn off, and his neck was broken in the middle. It had a giant hole where its heart was supposed to be, but that heart could not be found anywhere.
Su Ping felt his entire hair stand up as if there was a deadly monster right behind him, breathing down his neck.
“These people must have been alive a while ago. Did they sneak inside while we were dealing with the Fire Blood Dragon?” someone asked.
Everyone frowned as they all realized that they might have been used as bait; whoever came first would get the last treasure easily.
“Is the tree ‘secret treasure’?” Both Old Mo and Chen stared at the perfectly manicured looking plant at its peak condition.
“Captain, captain!” Ye Chenshan told his Azure Lizard to bring Nie Chengkong closer by manipulating the floor.
“Bu—fruit..” muttered Nie Chengkong with a weakened voice. His eyes no longer responded to the light, which meant he did not have much in him.
So he knew about the fruit before? thought Su Ping.
“He was in vain!” Old Mo checked Nie Chengkong for a while before saying, “We need to get out of here NOW! Before it catches us! We should never have come to a place where there is something that could kill the captain easily.”
Chen quickly ordered his Earthen Dragon to activate all possible defensive skills. “Everything, go into the mouth of the dragon. We'll catch up to him!”
Ye Chenshan lowered Nie Chengkong with a painful look. As a settler, the suffering of losing someone dear is nothing new. He managed to gather his spirit and quickly followed Chen's advice. It was already a miracle that Chen and Old Mo did not leave the team. He should be grateful.
Similarly, all the other team members recovered from their grief in time.
As the Earth Dragon lowered its giant head to let everyone “ get inside,” a few spikes shot out from the cave wall again. At the same time, the walls became bright red as if they were melting. “Ya Lord ..” Seeing this, Old Mo gave up their plan and simply told his Death Scythe to take him to the exit.
However, he was stopped by the head of the huge dragon who was currently directing a deadly gaze at them, while blocking the only entrance they could use. It was the Fire Blood Dragon. But this one is twice as big as the one they killed.
Su Ping frowned as he felt the weak signature of the Beast King coming from the target. Based on his experience, he could tell that this one had yet to become the real Beast King. But it'll be soon.
Whoa!!
The dragon opened its jaws and shot out a ray of fire towards the group.
Old Mo was too close to the dragon. As a desperate move, he summoned two rank eight pets to act as his shield. The pet almost died instantly in an intense fire attack.
“Come! Together! Let's break through!”
Chen immediately ordered the Earth Dragon to apply more barriers to his body, before crashing into the cave wall. He no longer had time to wait for everyone to board.
The wall broke. But instead of the escape route, people were presented with the buried bodies of the Fire Blood Dragon.
Fortunately, the ceiling of the cave was not so hard. The Earth Dragon swarmed through the hole and continued moving without looking back.
On the ground, Luo Guxue jumped onto his Sacred Fire Bird and gestured to Ye Chenshan and Su Ping. “Come! Quick!!” He knew Su Ping could fly by himself. Nonetheless, humans should not race against flying monsters. They won't win. “MINGGIR!!”
Before Su Ping and Ye Chenshan could reach the bird, Old Mo's Death Crescent slammed the bird to the side so that he could escape through the new exit first. Whether intentionally or not, the Death Scythe sent the bird towards the Flame Blood Dragon.
Luo Guxue shouted as he fell down from his pet and landed inside the dragon's morgue. On top of his Death Scythe, Old Mo burst into laughter as he looked at the ceiling gap just within reach.
However, a giant thorny tail suddenly appeared in his sight and approached him.
He fell down, along with his Death Scythe. The head of the Fire Blood Dragon attacked and caught the Death Scythe in the air.
The Death Scythe struggled for a few seconds in vain, before its body could no longer bear the deadly grinding force of the dragon teeth and broke into two pieces.
Taking the opportunity, Su Ping told the Purple Python to open its mouth so that he could enter. Meanwhile, he used the power of telekinesis to drag Ye Chenshan, who had completely frozen in despair, with him.
As for the lizard Ye Chenshan, it had to rely on itself. “GO!”
Upon hearing Su Ping's command, the python attacked the ceiling, while the Little Skeleton and Black Dragon Dog acted as protectors. The python could not fly so it had to crawl along the walls of the burning cave, causing its body to smell like burnt flesh. Even so, it did not slow down.
Seeing his prey move away, the Fire Blood Dragon spat out the broken Death Scythe and rushed into the python.
The Little Skeleton placed itself between the python and the dragon and raised its sword.
The Fire Blood Dragon reacted in time by coating its body under the intense flames. In the end, the Little Skeleton bone blade only left a shallow white scar along the dragon's body.
The Fire Blood Dragon moved as it fully moved out of the cave wall. It was approaching the Purple Python at full speed.
Little Skeleton once again tried to stop him, but his weak body of the sixth rank Astral Pet was helpless against the full attack of a rank nine monster that had almost reached the level of a Beast King.
The Little Skeleton shattered into pieces against the dragon ramming attack. It takes a few seconds to reassemble.
The Fire Blood Dragon had already reached its target. He bared his bloody fangs and bit the python's neck.
Using the incredible fortitude he gained from all the lethal training, Su Ping remained level-headed as he forced his brain to seek a solution.
He remembered something that might help.
