Astral Pet Store – Chapter 195
Poof!
After the giant splash of blood, the lower rank nine Golden Rabbit collapsed under the pincer attack of the Dark Dragon Hound and Inferno Dragon.
The dog happily picked up a few pieces of rabbit meat, before skillfully tearing apart the creature's stomach, taking out energy crystals, and approaching the Purple Snake waiting nearby. While sitting behind the sharp scales of the python, Su Ping pulled the crystal from a distance away and put it into its storage.
“Do not leave a trace,” he ordered his pet to use his spirit.
The Inferno Dragon was quite good at such cleaning work back then. It unleashed some deadly flames from its body and burned the corpse of the rabbit within seconds, leaving only a scorched patch of land behind.
They moved after their enemies were dealt with. This was a shortcut along the river that would lead them to the treasure faster. It was just that it was a riskier choice compared to the wider road as there were many monsters living within the river and along the river bank.
The Mysterious Realm became open to the public two days ago. Someone may have come here when no one was looking. I wonder if the treasure has already been taken .. thought Su Ping with a grim look.
The Dark Dragon Hound suddenly sent him a warning. Immediately, the Purple Python and the Hell Dragon hugged the ground.
Following the direction of the dog, Su Ping looked up and managed to see a small dot hovering in the sky.
It was Hermit Sparrow.
Su Ping narrowed his eyes and carefully examined this eighth rank bird pet that was usually famous for its superior vision, even more effective than thermal binoculars. The general way of camouflage is useless against it. Although this bird has a very big disadvantage; it cannot detect targets with very low body temperature very well.
Although, most of the monsters in the wilderness were “hot enough” for the bird to see, unless there was something deliberately lowering its metabolism to escape such detection, which was highly unlikely; only a fighter can think on such a level.
Hermit Sparrows are social, which means there are more of them nearby. Or, it might be controlled by the settlers.Su Ping carefully assessed the situation while assuming the worst. It's necessary if he wants to stay alive.
If there is an owner, the person should be within 25 kilometers.
Such knowledge was usually available in the academy, although Su Ping still knew of it thanks to his survival training. Right now he had another reason to avoid unnecessary fighting in order to not attract troublemakers. He wanted to snatch the treasure and leave as fast as he could.
I can't hide from those sparrows. If his master was a rank eight pet master, then he should have known I was here already …
Just as Su Ping was trying to decide what to do, the bird suddenly blurred.
What the hell is being done? Maybe his master is in danger, or…
He pondered and started chasing the bird with his pet.
Without a second thought, he ordered his pet to stay low and go further inside.
The stench in the air immediately reminded him of where he was.
“There are Anima Fruits growing around here.”
Such a fruit was a powerful auxiliary item for Undead-type Astral Pets as it contained rich undead energy. Low rank Undead pets might have instantly evolved by eating them. The fruit was also a valuable treasure in this sector. Still, Su Ping had only thought about it until then because he was too focused on getting the main one.
However, taking the fruit would not be easy, as the forest was guarded by many rank nine monsters. Worse, there was a top-nine Quietus Wraith watching over the fruit, who was skilled in powerful spiritual attacks that could not be easily defended. Returning into the land of the corresponding dragon scale, Su Ping managed to kill him after dying a dozen times along with the Hell Dragon.
He believed that the ghost was a worse enemy compared to that giant Fire Blood Dragon.

He raised his arms and summoned a Small Skeleton. The skeleton remained motionless for a moment beside his feet, before he leaped in excitement as he sensed the undead energy around the surroundings. With his full team operating, Su Ping slowly entered the forest.
In the middle of the forest lay a patch of empty land surrounded by towering trees, except for a pile of soil and a small tree growing in front of him.
The tree was pitch-black from top to bottom, and was constantly shrouded in an ominous dark mist from which the faint cries of ghosts could be heard.
Two groups of people stood waiting on either side of the tree, along with several pets of various sizes and appearances. The larger group with nine people only called three pets, but they looked no less attractive when compared to the other group of six men who had more pets. “I know the Tang family is highly respected in the base city. But we're not in town anymore! We found it first, and we'll take it!”
The speaker carried a sealed box in his hand, from which a small vortex of black energy leaked out, either because the box was not tight enough, or whatever was inside could not be fully accommodated.
With the help of the Hermit Sparrow, Tang Ruyan's group had arrived at the rare Wraith Tree only to discover that someone had collected the reward.
It is said that this tree only produced one fruit for 1,000 years, which was used to raise the Undead-type Astral Pet. The Tang Family did have many young members using such pets, so they wanted to take the fruit for their own use. The growth of their future generations is very important.
“Because you know who we are, I suggest you hand it over,” replied Zhuo Fengqun firmly. “Even if you make it through, I doubt you will live long enough to save it.”
