Astral Pet Store – Chapter 606
“Job!”
The world wrinkled in Su Ping eyes; he felt a tingling pain everywhere. He lowered his head and saw many insects biting his flesh.
Is this an illusion?
Su Ping knew that all of that was not real but he was unable to find a solution.
Buzz!
Just then, a ray of golden light shone brightly, accompanied by a Buddhist voice. Su Ping felt that something in his mind was shaking, and then the pain disappeared. It was as if he was just dreaming about the pain.
The contorted world turned back to the real world.
laa
As things returned to normal, Su Ping saw that the young man had teleported to where the Dark Dragon Hound was. His claws were enlarged and his fingers twisted; there was a mouth growing from the palm of the hand. He was planning on devouring his pet!
“Go!!” Su Ping shouted. He poured all his Ashura and Divine Energy into this one
cut off.
Broken space. A ray of sword light landed on the strange mouth that grew from that palm.
The young man narrowed his red eyes. “I can't believe!” he screamed in fear.
Su Ping's sudden move caught him off guard. He was unable to move his hand fast enough and his mouth finally bit down on Su Ping words.
The crack!
The sword then left a deep wound on the lips. Space began to crack along the wound, and the crack itself would suck out his lips as the young man closed them in time.
Whooshing sound!
The young man retreated hundreds of meters, staring at Su Ping with a frown.
A golden cup appeared above Su Ping chest.
The golden cup spun, emitting rays of golden light.
Su Ping felt a warmth spreading within him. He noticed that the golden cup was one of the artifacts the old dragon king had given him.
That's a useful one.
But he had no idea, before that, that it was an artifact that could resist spiritual attacks.
Thank you very much, dragon king, Su Ping said inwardly.
If it wasn't for that golden cup, things would have turned bad for him.
“Build!”
Su Ping slapped the back of the Dark Dragon Hound.
The pet trembled but clarity returned to his eyes; realization soon arrived, making the pet even more furious. It was trying to protect Su Ping, but the two of them were almost killed.
The Dark Dragon Hound growled and its claws enlarged.
The crack!
The temperature dropped and the air froze
The Dark Dragon Hound emitted streams of terrifying cold air. It was a skill called Abyssal Zero, a skill belonging to the old dragon king species!
That Heaven Expansion Dragon had once mastered all sorts of elements in nature, being able to manipulate it nimbly. That was why the Dark Dragon Hound was able to learn over a hundred legendary rank defense skills after obtaining the inheritance from the old dragon king.
The Su Ping dog could learn different types of skills before, but the skill had a titled rank; the pet only managed to learn it after many brushes with death.
But legendary rank skills were much more complicated.
The Heaven Expansion Dragon bloodline gave the dog the ability to absorb many different new skills in a limited time.
The Heaven Expansion Dragon bloodline had two different categories: fire, and water. The old dragon king had been born with a trait that was closer to water.
“What?”
The young man watched the air freeze. His eyes are capable of seeing at the molecular level. Right now he could see how the water in the air was freezing!
The young man had also noticed the effects on a deeper level; even the air itself was affected by the temperature dropping and started to stop moving! “Try to clear space?”
The red-eyed youth pulled a long face. The fighting pet turned out to be something beyond his imagination; while at Ocean State, with a superficial understanding of spatial mechanisms, the fighting pet was still able to control space. That skill is truly terrifying! “Star Rank bloodline is amazing!”
The young man took a deep breath; a dark liquid came out from his pores and a thick liquid covered his skin, forming many layers of pigment.
The hand he had turned into a claw before returned to normal, but the wound on his palm was still bleeding.
The young man licked his blood; the four eyes on his forehead rolled wildly. He seems to be excited.
Bang out! Bang out!
His skin was exposed on his face, neck, and body, revealing many red eyes within.
The beast king instantly opened dozens of eyes and his momentum increased!
“Heart-Heart!”
Su Ping immediately imparted some augmentation skills to the Dark Dragon Hound. Meanwhile, he told the Little Skull to absorb the energy for the undead creature that floated in the air, to then impart the harvested energy to him so that he could share it with the Dark Dragon Hound.
Needless to say that the Dark Dragon Hound was the one with the strongest defense.
The Little Skeleton was almost immortal but was unable to impart that trait to him, the master.
On the other hand, the Dark Dragon Hound survival skill could benefit all of them.
“Bother him. I'll find us a way out!” Su Ping said to the Dark Dragon Hound in his consciousness.
He looks around. He did not choose a random route when he tried to run for his life. He's walking towards the exit.
But the exit would not take them to the Ice Field that was too far away. It took him at least half a day to get there!
He had run to the exit closest to him. He had no idea what he would see on the other side.
But he's closer to that exit! It took him five minutes to get there!
He had to exert maximum strength for those five minutes to continue teleporting!
Still, disturbing the Thousand-Eyed Demon Beast for five minutes was too much.
The Dark Dragon Hound looked even fiercer after receiving Su Ping's orders. Apart from Abyssal Zero, the dog started using other defensive skills at the same time.
The Wind God Cluster!
Hugs the Ice Queen! Fire Muse Dress!
Su Ping was surrounded by many layers of defense. Those skills could cover a large area, but they were currently concentrating on Su Ping. There was a cyan shadow behind him. The flame was his clothes and his skin was covered in ice. There was a dark armor covering him as well; it was the result of a demonic defense skill.
Over a dozen layers of defense made Su Ping almost invincible. Not even a hundred missiles would hurt him; not a single bit.
“Abrow!” shouted the Dark Dragon Hound. The ice that suddenly spread shattered into pieces, landing on every corner of the road!
Space is freezing and so are the walls.
The red-eyed young man could not move.
“Running!” Su Ping shouted. It was the perfect opportunity.
Whooshing sound!
He teleported.
He heard the sound of something cracking right as the first teleportation round ended.
Meanwhile, a red shadow appeared in front of him. He raised his hand; something smashed into his sword and its impact threw it to the ground.
Su Ping stood up. Although the impact was strong, he was not injured at all.
However, the three layers of defense had been broken!
Three layers of cracks!
“I've said it; you can't run from me.”
The young man stared at Su Ping from the air, while being enveloped in red flames. He looked at Su Ping and the Dark Dragon Hound with scorn. “I would probably be a little scared of you if you were the same as me. To be honest, you would be quite a painful headache for me if you were in the Void State.
“But, unfortunately for you, you are too, too weak. You can't ignore my superior rank without consequences! ”
Su Ping pulled a long face.
Indeed, the beast king was not wrong
as
He had grown a lot lately, but in the end, he was still at the titled rank. He might be able to protect himself from the weakest Fate State beasts, but that thousand-eyed Demon Beast was definitely not the weak one. It was probably at the peak of the State of Destiny.
Roars!
The Dark Dragon Hound showed its teeth to the beast king.
The young man glanced at the dog. “You have a Star Rank bloodline, yet you let yourself stay with this human being. Go; I'll deal with you later!”
The beast king was in no hurry to kill the Dark Dragon Hound as it lacked teleportation ability.
Su Ping, on the other hand, was the problem. He would be able to escape at that very instant, if there was a chance.
Once he dealt with Su Ping, it would be a children's game to kill the Dark Dragon Hound, who could not even teleport.
The Dark Dragon Hound certainly had a lot of defensive skills. Continues to?
In the end, it would be beaten!
Having no ability to resist, that was the only possible end of the Dark Dragon Hound!
The Defense will help you stay alive for now, but to qualify and win, you have to move on to the attack. Defense alone will not do all the work.
The Dark Dragon Hound roared as if it had understood the words of the beast king.
The young man looked past the Dark Dragon Hound to meet with Su Ping gaze.
The young man with red eyes only said one word. “Come!”
Whooshing sound!
The next thing Su Ping saw was the young man standing right before his face.
Bang out!
Su Ping quickly attacked the beast king. He was inwardly shocked because he realized that the young man had not teleported. He was the one who had approached the enemy!
The space!
The beast king had moved him as well as the space he was in!
“That's a good sword, but you don't deserve to keep it.” The young man grabbed Su Ping's wrist, as he tried to snatch the weapon.
He had noticed that the sword was extraordinary. The energy contained within the sword was only slight but the blade was sharp. There was something unique about the sword.
Something that had a Star Rank; a rank that he had dreamed of attaining.
The sword was clearly crippled or flawed, as there was no natural law energy contained within it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been the one who was harmed back then.
“K Regret!” Su Ping shouted.
He released Divine Energy.
A stream that carried incredible power came out from his arm and pushed the hand of the beast king. At the same time, Su Ping raised his other arm to smash the head of the beast king.
The young man reacted quickly. He tried to grab Su Ping fist but the power in Su Ping hand was more than he had imagined.
Bang. Su Ping landed a punch on his face.
The young man was pushed back tens of meters. There was a blood on the corner of his mouth. The violence in his eyes grew.
Insulting!
He, a Fate State beast king, had just been punched by a human being!
After which, he drew the human closer to him!
“Go to hell!!”
The red-eyed young man growled. More and more red eyes opened in the air; they emitted a ray of red light that locked onto Su Ping.
The golden cup continued to spin over Su Ping chest but the light from his red eyes reduced the strength of the artifact.
Bang out!
The young man opened the space and directly grabbed Su Ping. All of the young man's red eyes glared at Su Ping as Su Ping raised his hand.
Su Ping stopped. Claws reach his head …
But white bones crawl to protect his face and neck. The layers of defense broke apart one after another.
The Dark Dragon Hound once again added a layer of defense to Su Ping.
The young man struck again and again as if insane. Space shakes and anomalies occur. There was a terrible impact with every attack.
Su Ping would be incapacitated suddenly and strangely whenever he tried to raise his arm to fend off the attack; his mind would also become muddled.
“Job!”
Su Ping lost his patience.
He was unable to do anything when he was hit. He would have died dozens of times if not for the Little Skeleton and Dark Dragon Hound.
Should I continue like this until death is inevitable?
Su Ping bit his teeth. He remembered his training at the cultivation site and what Dusk had taught him.
Swords.
The sword in his heart.
His heart is his sword and his sword is him!
Su Ping closed his eyes.
He recalled the many battles he had fought in the harsh environment.
Since his mind had stopped working, he would let his body do the job!
“Death!!”
The young man is getting crazy. Right at that moment, Su Ping sword grabbed his neck with a strange angle.
That beam of sword light forced the young man to stop.
Bang out!
A lump of flesh appeared on his shoulder as he tried to stop his wound, but the lump was cut off and the wound landed on his neck. But the sword was also stuck in his neck.
The young man immediately took out a knife, pulling it out.
Blood gushed out from his neck. Immediately after, his flesh swayed and closed his wound.
The young man glared at Su Ping, whose eyes were closed at this moment. Who her?
He moved without thinking and the angle of the attack was cruel and fatal!
Su Ping opened his eyes. He looked at the beast king and how the wound on his neck healed.
So, it's not good enough. Without thinking? Is correct. He's not thinking.
His body had learned to fight based on instinct after the countless battles he had gone through at the cultivation location.
The young man with red eyes said ferociously, “You really make me nervous.”
Su Ping had repelled his attacks again and again. The young man was furious with such humiliation.
Black pigment moves to red eyes.
Black spots are visible inside the eyes. Su Ping sensed a huge flow of Ashura Energy within the king of ferocious beasts! Yes, Asura! A noble type of undead creature!
Su Ping was worried. He had failed to decapitate the beast king before and it would only become more difficult for him from then on.
“It's over,” young man with red eyes announced, his voice hoarse. The world fell into darkness. From the darkness came a claw. Su Ping quickly raised his sword to defend himself but his claws had smashed Su Ping to the ground.
That's too fast!
The claws had pushed him further to the ground before he could stand up.
The crack!
The white bone outside of Su Ping's body the broken Bone would continue to heal but its claws would push Su Ping even harder, before the healing could be completed; the crack on the white bone deepened.
Su Ping bit his teeth. He poured all his energy into the Little Skeleton.
The cracks in the white bone heal faster. The bones were finally able to withstand the attack.
However, just then, the young man descended from above and stomped on Su Ping's chest.
The bones are broken! Su Ping could sense that the Little Skeleton would not last much longer.
Is this the end?
Su Ping remembered that Su Lingyue and Li Yuanfeng were still on the scroll; the Hell Dragon and Purple Python were still in the contract room and the Dark Dragon Dog was still with him. He could not let himself die!
But…
He was too weak in comparison.
“I will entrust them to you.”
Su Ping made a decision. He did not have the luxury of thinking in his spare time.
All hope is lost.
Since death was inevitable, he should at least save some of them.
He tried to summon the Dark Dragon Hound back into the contract room.
Contract space will open in random places around him after he dies; that “place around him” could mean a large area. There was a high chance that his battle pet could end up above ground and they would have a chance to live.
As for the Little Skeleton, it should take the scroll for him.
The Thousand-eyed Demon Beast was powerful but would find it quite difficult to kill the Little Skeleton.
The white bones are still trying to protect him. However, with the increasing pressure, the cracks began to widen.
There were so many cracks on that white bone that it offended the eyes. But still, like a miracle, the bones were not smashed to pieces! What made that skeleton last that long? Su Ping felt a weak message in his consciousness.
It is a message of love and affection.
The majestic image of the Skeleton King appeared behind Su Ping.
The Skeleton King sat on his throne and looked at the world of white bones from a height!
Roars!!
The Skeleton King stood up and shouted.
The screams spread darkness.
The darkness disappeared as if a curtain had been lifted.
The darkness had disappeared and the Dark Dragon Hound was able to see Su Ping again. It rushed to him at once.
Su Ping was thrown towards the Dark Dragon Hound and he fell flat on his back.
Its fur was as sharp as a sword, but then it immediately became soft to resist the fall of Su Ping.
Su Ping was covered in blood and his skin was covered in wounds. However, there were no more white bones protecting him!
The white bones were still under the claws of the beast king!
Su Ping looked at the Dark Dragon Hound. He felt weak and the strength outside him disappeared. He turned around and saw a pile of white bones under the young man's feet.
White bones scattered on the ground.
He's been dumped!
Of course, the Small Skeleton did it.
Bang out!
Without him as a body, those white bones were trampled!
Su Ping felt that he could barely breathe.
The Dark Dragon Hound growled in pain as well.
It would often play around with the Small Skeleton and they shared a deep bond. With Su Ping, the Small Skeleton, that tall and big man (what the Black Dragon Dog calls the Hell Dragon,) and the Purple Python.
They will trust each other with their lives.
Together they had endured Su Ping torment and they had trained together.
They had seen too many terrifying beasts.
They are friends!
“Hmm!”
The young man looked at Su Ping.
Just then, the white bones gathered once more and formed a Small Skeleton again. Then, the Little Skeleton dashed forward and slashed at the beast king with its bone blades.
The young man reacted quickly. He grabbed the blade with his claws and kicked the Little Skull away to hit the wall. The Little Skeleton shattered into pieces. But the pieces of bone quickly reshaped the Small Skeleton and it tried again. Meanwhile, Su Ping heard something in his mind.
GO. Little Skull told Su Ping to leave.
Su Ping rarely cried but tears filled his eyes.
Back in Longjiang Base City, the Hell Dragon had stood up to be his final shield during the beast's attack. The Little Skeleton did the same.
That may be the case with other pet warriors. Fighting pets would sacrifice their lives to buy time for their masters to leave.
Pets should be thrown away like that, right?
But…
Su Ping remembered how the Little Skeleton would always stare at him with googly eyes and would always behave. How could he have the heart to use the Little Skeleton as a tool so that he could escape?
It was a skeleton, but on top of that, the Little Skeleton was Su Ping's good friend!
The most important friend!! “Go and help!”
Su Ping shouted but his voice was hoarse.
He had joined the Little Skeleton when he fought the young man and tried to teleport many times, gradually using his strength. He could barely move his finger at this moment.
But the Dark Dragon Hound was still with him.
He knew that his orders were unreasonable. But he could not bear the thought of leaving the Little Skeleton alone to escape!
The Dark Dragon Hound looked at the Small Skeleton but did not move. It was the first time he had disobeyed Su Ping's orders!
The Dark Dragon Hound heard the warning in his mind.
It was a warning of fatal danger.
But…
The Dark Dragon Hound took Su Ping in its mouth and ran away! The contract started burning and corroded the dog as he started running!
Su Ping was stunned. "What do you think you're doing ?!" Su Ping shouted at the Dark Dragon Hound.
He knew the Dark Dragon Hound was afraid of death, extremely afraid.
Ninety percent of the skills he learned were of the defensive type!
But why did the Dark Dragon Hound not obey him by risking his life?
"Stop. Stop now! You will burn to death!” Su Ping shouted.
The Dark Dragon Hound looked straight ahead, determined and resolute. It didn't stop. The burning was painful but the pet ignored it.
It ran and ran forward.
Su Ping looked back. The Little Skeleton stopped the Thousand-eyed Demon Beasts; he could barely see them. “I know you're trying to save me. But. did I.
have this?” Su Ping retracted his order, but the flame did not instantly disappear.
A moment later, the fire-covered Dark Dragon Hound left Su Ping beside the wall, then used its claws to dig out the scroll and turned around.
Su Ping was surprised.
"Where are you going?" She asked. He already has an idea.
The Dark Dragon Hound turned around and looked at Su Ping. The violence in his eyes had been replaced by compassion and peace.
They looked at each other in the dimly lit path.
Su Ping immediately understood the meaning of his pet.
It brought him there because it didn't want him dead!
He will return because the Little Skeleton is his friend!!
The Dark Dragon Hound turned around. Violence filled his eyes. It darted away with determination.
Su Ping finally regained consciousness. He knew that the Dark Dragon Hound was ready to help the Little Skeleton with its life.
Death is inevitable!
Why did the Dark Dragon Hound endure the pain of the flames and save him? Why did it come back when it was safe ?! “Ah..” shouted Su Ping.
Finally, he recovered some strength. He used that power to open up his contract space.
Whoosh!
The Dark Dragon Hound was pulled back into the contract room.
The contract between Su Ping and the Dark Dragon Hound was an Archean contract that allowed him to recall his combat pet as long as his combat pet was within a certain distance, plus, more, the space was stable and the fighting pets were currently not under attack. Su Ping could not keep quiet as the Dark Dog headed for its destruction! The Dark Dragon Hound struggled but eventually returned to the contract room. Su Ping had expended all of his energy. Completely frustrated, he felt he was a complete loser.
“Wait for me..” Su Ping said to the Small Skeleton in his consciousness.
The Thousand-eyed Demon Beast would not be able to kill the Little Skull for now. If he stayed there, he would do nothing but drag the two of them to their deaths.
The Little Skeleton had given him a chance.
Su Ping knew that he would only slow down the Little Skeleton.
Swish!
Su Ping opened the scroll.
Two people came out in a hurry. Both Li Yuanfeng and Su Lingyue were surprised to see Su Ping covered in blood. "Ping!" Su Lingyue shouted.
Li Yuanfeng turned pale with fear. "Brother
Su!”
Su Ping exerted energy to tell them, “Take me away. My fighting pets stopped that. We have to get out of here.” He knew that the sooner they left, the less stress the Little Skull had to deal with.
The Thousand-eyed Demon Beast probably would not be able to kill the Little Skeleton.
But, it could really die if it had to stop the Thousand-Eyed Demon Beast for a very long time so that they would leave.
Li Yuanfeng did not believe that Su Ping battle pets were able to stop that.
But then again, it's not the time to find the answer. He helped Su Ping stand up, poured some astral strength on him and said to Su Lingyue, "Let's get out of here."
Su Lingyue held onto the other Su Ping hand and she also poured astral power on him so that he could recover.
He knew that saying one more word meant wasting another second on a futile thing.
Regret will not help him at this time. He's the cause of all that.
Whoosh!
Li Yuanfeng told Su Lingyue to support Su Ping with her hands as she explored the path.
Su Lingyue And Su Ping followed Li Yuanfeng.
Su Ping remained silent. He tried to mobilize the Chaotic Star Chart to gather more astral power. Gaining more astral power could give him hope of getting out of there. He kept a brave face while sadness ate him inside. That's what it means to be a fighter. The Chaotic Star Chart allowed him to absorb astral power quite quickly. The vortex in his cell was spinning rapidly. A few minutes later, Su Ping felt he had recovered some astral strength; he could then move on his own thanks to Su Lingyue's continuous stream of astral power.
The roar!
A beast king invaded them.
Li Yuanfeng moved quickly, killing him immediately. Su Ping was the one who had fought the Thousand Eyes Demon Beast. He couldn't trouble her with an ordinary beast king anymore. The three of them rushed to escape. Li Yuanfeng had taken over to eliminate the beast kings along the way. After about ten minutes, when they passed another fork in the road, they saw a vortex ahead.
"See. Way out!”
Li Yuanfeng was happy to find a way out that quickly.
It won't take them to the Icefield, but it will take them to safety.
The Thousand-eyed Demon Beast was in the Fate Country, but there would be an intricate formation outside of the vortex that would reduce the strength of those beast kings. That was why the Thousand-eyed Demon Beast did not leave the place to roam.
Finding a way out so quickly became a surprise to Su Ping.
“Let's go, ” said Li Yuanfeng.
Su Lingyue helped Su Ping into the whirlpool. Su Ping took a moment before stepping inside; he felt that the Little Skeleton was still alive.
He knew how sturdy the life of the Little Skeleton was.
When something killed the Little Skull and the undead world was about to retake it, the Little Skeleton could draw energy from the undead world and come back to life!
That ability alone made the Little Skeleton almost immortal! Of course, this could be prevented if there was a special method that could stop the Little Skeleton from absorbing undead energy from its home world.
Find an opportunity to escape. I'll find you. Su Ping conveyed his intentions to the Little Skeleton. He was unsure if the Little Skeleton would receive the message accurately because he was far away, but the contract would allow them to know each other's locations. Once he left the Inner Cave, the Little Skull would know and he would also leave.
The Little Skeleton would then be able to run for its life.
"Let's go."
Su Ping repeated his message to the Little Skull several times.
“Let me go first, ” Li Yuanfeng said. He was worried that there might be a beast outside. Su Ping was in no condition to stop the king of beasts.
After two seconds passed, Su Ping went around as well.
Su Lingyue was right behind him. World's spinning. Su Ping looked at the blue sky and the green grass as he opened his eyes. They're on the plains!
Animals crouching in the grasslands.
Su Ping looked at the sun in the sky. Is this.... outside?! This surface?!
