Astral Pet Store – Chapter 586
“This is the entrance to Deep Caves.”
Surrounded by large swaths of greenery, in the depths lay a large cave that was more like a tunnel for an underground railway. The darkness made it impossible to peek at what was inside.
Outside the cave stood eight guards. Seven of them stood tall, but one of them had a piece of straw clamped between his teeth. He sat on a rock near the cave and the lazy man occasionally took a sip of his wine.
Whooshing sound! Whooshing sound!
Two people flew up and came down from above. Their movements created dust in the area. Yun Wanli and Su Ping had arrived.
“Bapak. Principal?”
“Pak!!”
The guards were shocked by the sudden appearance of the Headmaster. The middle-aged man who was lazing around jumped up in shock, hid his flask behind his back, and spat out the straw. He ran over to Yun Wanli and adopted a tone with respect. “Master, what brings you here?”
Yun Wanli asked the middle-aged man in a serious tone, “Feng Xiu, I know you are in charge here. Did you see a student enter the cave a week ago?
The man named Feng Xiu produced a forced smile. “Master, you can't be serious. This place is off limits. I'm not gonna let those kids in there. I always scare them even if they approach me.”
“Shut!”
Yun Wanli stopped the middle-aged man's chattering and growled as he continued, “Did someone step inside a week ago?” The growl was quite shocking to Feng Xiu; the anger in Yun Wanli's eyes scared him. He knelt down and said, “Master, please forgive me. I have failed in my work. A week ago, there was a time when I happened to go to take care of some things; I heard that someone had barged in when I returned. I dare not go in there to chase that disciple.”.
Yun Wanli's face was clouded. “Is that a girl?”
“Ya.” Feng Xiu further lowered his head.
“Why didn't you report it?”
Yun Wanli was furious. “Do you know how the situation inside is? Any student would be punished if they entered! ”
“I, I fear you will punish me ..” whispered Feng Xiu. His head was lowered to the ground.
The other seven guards hurriedly knelt down and lowered their heads as well. No one dared to breathe out of fear of being too loud.
They would naturally be more afraid if the pet warrior named Feng Xiu was frightened.
Anyone in the academy knew that the Headmaster was at the legendary rank and he had a mysterious power.
“Fear I will punish you.” Yun Wanli is too angry to speak.
At the same time, he felt helpless.
If Feng Xiu were to report to him in time, he would have a chance to go inside and look for Su Lingyue at once and still be alive. However, the fact remains that a week has passed. He was willing to go in there and help Su Ping find his sister, but he did not have much hope. Deep down, he believed that his sister had turned into a pile of bones.
Maybe not even a bone.
Su Ping glanced at Feng Xiu. He had every intention to kill him but he stopped himself. He looked into the cave and said to Yun Wanli, “So, it is the Inner Cave.”
Yun Wanli turned to Su Ping and nodded. “Yes. That's one of the entrances. The Valiant Academy had been guarding the entrance for a long time. Of course, we were just guarding the entrance. The ones guarding the strategic path inside were the legendary combatants from the Tower who were willing to risk their lives.” Su Ping nodded and walked into the cave.
Feng Xiu wondered who the man was, for him to talk to the Headmaster casually.
The legendary fighting pet warrior from the Tower? Out of curiosity, Feng Xiu chose not to raise his head. When he felt the two people walking past him, his heart—which was currently choked in the throat—gradually returned to his chest. He turned his head and saw the Headmaster and the young man walking towards the entrance. “Master, are you going in?” Yun Wanli replied without looking back. “Tetaplah. I'll talk to you after I get back. ”
Feng Xiu no longer dared to say a word.
Su Ping even thought that the seven guards were a bit too nervous, but he did not think too much about it. His priority was to find Su Lingyue.
Whether dead or alive, he had to see it.
The idea made killing intent surge in Su Ping's heart.
“Fate Challenger Su, please be careful. There were many beast kings in the Inner Cave and they were ruthless. ”
Shoulder to shoulder, Yun Wanli and Su Ping went to the pitch-black cave. The Headmaster raised his hand and a crystal that emitted a white light appeared in his palm and the crystal illuminated the cave. The cave extended into the distance and its walls were filled with mounds and holes. Every now and then they saw huge claw marks; they could imagine how big the creature was to leave such marks.
The air was damp and rotten, but nothing else was in sight.
“All the beasts inside are contained within the deeper tunnels. We won't see many ferocious beasts in this area, but there will be some ferocious beasts roaming outside here. Let's check the strategic path there. We'll ask the guards and see if they see your sister.”
Yun Wanli walked in front of Su Ping to show him the way as he said so.
Su Ping asked, “How many entrances to enter the Inner Cave?”
“More than a dozen, I guess, are scattered all over the world. Some of the entrances were deep in the sea. That entrance had been filled and leveled up by the legendary battle pet warrior. After all, we cannot allow people to stay in the ocean all year round because there are more king beasts in the ocean than on land. Even legendary battle pet warriors would not survive in such an environment. ”
Yun Wanli continued as they walked forward, “There are five entrances in our Subcontinent District, and this is one of them. We are about a hundred thousand meters from the tunnel inside.”
Su Ping frowned as he stared at the meandering road that was heading downwards. A hundred thousand meters down?
“How does the Inner Cave appear?”
Yun Wanli shook his head. “It was a long time ago. I heard that the Inner Cave was here since the beginning of the astral pet era. It is said that the first generation of fighting pet fighters drove out and drove all the powerful ferocious beasts to the Inner Cave. This is another theory that says that the Inner Cave has always been here and that all animals were born in the Inner Cave. No one can tell which story is true, while it no longer matters, the truth is told. ”
Su Ping frowned in silence.
The only thing that could be heard was their footsteps. Yun Wanli held onto the crystal and explored the path. After passing through the slope, they went deeper and deeper. After a while, Su Ping scrunched his nose. He smelled blood.
He directly warned Yun Wanli, “There is blood.”
Yun Wanli was warned. A vortex opened behind him and from there flew a pet beast king from the demon family.
The pet was seven to eight meters tall but small when compared to the other beast kings. Su Ping was familiar with the pets of the demon family and the undead. He instantly recognized that it was the Ghost Eye. The pet had a Void State bloodline and the one there had yet to reach the Void State, only Ocean State. In the Void State, Ghost Eye would be about ten meters tall and could engage in close combat. Sleep and food were not the only things the king of beasts needed to reach prime condition. Pets should enjoy valuable pet food. If the pet is unable to reach its prime condition while in its golden years, its condition will begin to deteriorate and so will its combat power.
“PERGI,” Yun Wanli said to his pet.
Whooshing sound! Ghost Eyes turned into a puff of dark mist that scattered towards the depths of the cave. Ghost Eyes had become an integrated part of the darkness. Su Ping understood that Yun Wanli had sent Ghost Eyes for a reconnaissance mission.
“Come away,” Yun Wanli said on Su Ping.
Su Ping nodded and walked over.
They traveled a certain distance. Su Ping and Yun Wanli looked at some bones that had turned as white as snow. The beasts must have been dead for a long time and every part of their flesh had rusted.
The deeper they went into the cave, the stronger the smell of his blood was. Suddenly, Yun Wanli stopped and turned to Su Ping vigilantly, “My big Eye beast tells me that it is dangerous in front!”
Su Ping frowned confusedly. “You said that this is the only way from the entrance and in front is a strategic gap. There are legendary fighting pet fighters. How can it be dangerous?” Yun Wanli was also confused. Indeed, they would reach a strategic crack guarded by legendary fighting pet warriors. Did his pet refer to the legendary fighting pet warrior as a source of danger?
No, that can't happen.
After all, the Ghost Eye was a king of ferocious beasts with a high level of intelligence; it could clearly tell the difference between a human and a beast.
