Astral Pet Store – Chapter 617
Shortly after, a name appeared.
Heavenly Star of Chaos:
Being an ancient fixed star born at the beginning of Chaos, the Heavenly Star was vast, with many ancient fire fairies as the main inhabitants. Among them, the Golden Crow was the leader of the Heavenly Star and they had ruled over it for almost a century …
Entrance fee: 9000/day.
…
Nine thousand energy points for one day!
It's as expensive as Archean Divinity. Indeed, the Heavenly Star was a top-tier cultivation site.
“Can I go there, given my strength?” Su Ping asked the system.
He was afraid that the environment would be so harsh that he would die once he entered; it would be a waste of energy points.
“You are quite resistant to fire and can live there for about 15 minutes,” replied the system.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. He knew he was pretty tough when it came to fire. After all, he had explored many cultivation sites and trained himself, not just battle pets. He would not feel any pain if he was burned by an ordinary fire.
He had the idea that he was practically immune to fire, but the system had just told him that he had little resistance to fire.
“I can only last for 15 minutes. So, how fireproof should I have to really survive there?” Su Ping asked the system.
The system replied, “You need to be more resistant to fire to adapt to the local environment of the planet. But all the creatures found there are really powerful. You won't live long even if the environment doesn't kill you.”
“How long should I do that?” Su Ping asked.
“You will not be immune to fire in ten thousand years, if you just live your days comfortably,” the system sounds indifferent as it speaks, ' he said, “But I guess you will basically be immune to fire after you spend a few days at Heavenly Star.”
“What do you mean by ‘you think’? You're a smart system, aren't you? Can't you give me an accurate number? ” Su Ping complain.
“I am a smart system. Continues to? Who told you that a smart system knows everything? Why am I giving you accurate numbers? Do you want a number? Give me a hundred thousand energy points and you will know exactly how resistant you are to fire,” refute that system.
“…”
Su Ping realized that the system had become even more furious lately.
Well, the system was like that from the start.
“Do you want to give me energy points?” system challenging Su Ping.
He didn't say anything.
“Say that again?”
…
Su Ping decided to ignore the system. He saw the balance of energy points; there were more than enough energy points to support his exploration of the Heavenly Star.
“I'll go.” Su Ping made up his mind.
He has no other choice.
He would rather spend all his energy points than do nothing.
He had to increase his combat strength as soon as possible, so that he could regain the Little Skeleton. He knew that the pet was quite strong. Even so, things could go wrong since the Little Skeleton had to stay in the Inner Cave for a long time.
Fortunately, he could sense that the Little Skull was still alive.
“Are you sure?” The system stops joking. “If you do, you will most likely spend all the energy points you have.”
“I can always produce more. Money is the least valuable thing.” Su Ping was determined.
The system adds nothing more. After a few seconds, the system finally said, “As you want, then.”
A vortex opened, bringing Su Ping to the Heavenly Star.
Su Ping looked at Joanna. He had yet to become an outstanding employee; he could not take him to another cultivation place because he would not benefit if revived.
“I have to go for some time. Take care of the shop as long as I'm gone,” Su Ping told Joanna.
“You won't go to my world?” ask Joanna.
“No. In different places.”
“…”
Joanna watched as Su Ping stepped into the whirlpool. He was used to seeing her disappear like that. He was still worried because it seemed like something was bothering him.
The vortex disappeared and Joanna regained consciousness. He went to the pet room, found an empty cage and entered to cultivate.
Su Ping was growing rapidly; he was also inspired to grow by seeing his progress.
…
…
Flying time.
Su Ping felt that he had stopped moving. He felt he was surrounded by stinging heat before he even opened his eyes; it was as if he was about to be thrown into boiling water.
“Home master has connected to Heavenly Star …
“900 energy points are required for each awakening!
“Be careful, host. Die well, ”that system reminds Su Ping. It sounds mechanical this time; that's not how the system usually talks to him.
Su Ping opened his eyes. A red world leaped into his eyes, as if formed by volcanic magma. The cracked ground was also red in color; magma seemed to flow at the bottom of the crack. Some places with thick soil were charred black, and some strange plants were found here and there.
There was a red tree with golden light on its leaves and some golden fruits hanging on its branches.
Su Ping also saw several clusters of bright red weeds on the ground burning further away.
So, this is a Heavenly Star. It burned me to death!
Su Ping looked around. His blood pressure was rising and he was sweating. He realized he could soon be scorched to death!
Su Ping recalled that the system had told him that he would be able to last for fifteen minutes in such an environment.
That was clearly his maximum survival time. A human could stay in the boiling water for some time but time itself would be extremely painful!
He's being boiled, baked!
“Es!”
Su Ping raised his hand. He tried to build an ice wall to isolate the heat but nothing happened. It looks like the water molecules aren't even there.
“I wonder if dogs and dragons can survive here,” Su Ping said to himself. It could be a training ground that is “perfect” for them. He will feel “maaf” for them if he forgets to let them out for “pacify themselves”.
Whooshing sound!
Whooshing sound!
Two vortexes opened in the air. The Hell Dragon roared as it stepped out. However, he pulled his foot as fast as he could when he touched the ground with his foot. The roar turned into meow; the Hell Dragon was frightened and changed. What is this place?
The Dark Dragon Hound retracted its claws as well. The Dark Dragon Hound stood on the vortex, staring at Su Ping with fear.
The farthest distance in the world is when you are in the vortex and I am outside.
“Come out of there!” Su Ping said furiously.
The Hell Dragon and Black Dragon Dog must behave. But the Hell Dragon was writhing and grimacing in pain as if it was stepping on a needle. His behavior was truly nothing like a true dragon.
The Dark Dragon Hound did something even stranger. He put his left front leg and his right back leg first and then switched to the other two, going back and forth, just jumping around nonstop.
“Use your ice skills to lower the temperature,” Su Ping told Dark Dragon Hound.
Using an ice skill would not help the Dark Dragon Hound become more resistant to fire, but Su Ping did not travel just to cultivate. His priority was to find the materials for the second level Solar Bulwark so that he could return and save the Little Skeleton.
The Dark Dragon Hound raised its ice shield without hesitation. However, the Ice Goddess tens of meters tall was usually only three meters tall or so. The image of the goddess did not look like a beautiful woman at all. It was actually a pretty sad sight.
The goddess melted just a few seconds after it appeared. The steam drifted towards the Dark Dragon Hound and the heat made the dog bark.
“I'm surprised you can use it at all. I think we should rely on ourselves,” Su Ping said. Using those skills would not help them in the least. He didn't try anything else. At that time, no such skill would help.
He saw a red tree in the distance. A tree that could grow in such a harsh environment was definitely unusual.
Whooshing sound!
Su Ping rode the Dark Dragon Hound and told him to run towards the tree.
The Dark Dragon Hound had no other choice, but it chose to run in a strange way, jumping and jumping like before.
Su Ping raised his hand to take the golden fruit.
The fruit was like a burning rock and he almost dropped it.
I wonder if the fruit contains water. Su Ping looked at the golden fruit. He didn't know what it was but he wanted to try and eat it.
After all, he could be revived.
The crack!
He bites. He felt like he had just eaten fire.
A stream of hot liquid from the fruit passed through Su Ping's throat. He felt like he had just drank lava; his mouth was about to melt.
He saw a golden liquid coming out from the fruit.
That's not water.
Su Ping finished his bite while enduring the pain.
The hot porridge reached his stomach. He felt burning, inside out.
Su Ping did not have the courage to bite anymore. He threw the fruit at the Dark Dragon Hound as his awakening was free and his awakening would consume 900 energy points. It doesn't seem like much, but who knows how many times he'll die there. He wanted to save whenever he could.
Howling~!
The Dark Dragon Hound cried in misery; it rolled on the ground to endure the pain.
Su Ping felt sad to see the dog, so he chose not to look at the dog.
“What?”
Su Ping felt how the burning sensation had subsided as he leaped from the Dark Dragon Hound; refreshing energy spread throughout his body at the same time. He even realized that his temperature was falling and the pain was lifted.
Immediately after, the Dark Dragon Hound stopped rolling and got up. The dog looked at Su Ping in surprise. It was clear that the fruit's effect had aroused his interest as well.
“I see that this is a good thing.” Su Ping picked the remaining four pieces. He summoned the Purple Python and the Void Bug as well.
Hissing!
The cyan-colored Void Bug jumped up and down and screamed in pain, immediately dying on the spot.
Su Ping was not surprised. He did not spend much time training the cyan insects and would only bring the insects to soak in Joanna's spring water. The pet was only at the seventh rank, but the amount of Divine Energy it carried within its body was higher than ordinary Void Bugs.
The Purple Python approached Su Ping; the scales on his stomach burned to a crisp. The poor beast was swaying on the ground.
Su Ping flew over and inserted the golden fruit into the belly of the Purple Snake.
The Purple Python was even more in pain and before long, its scales curved and peeled off, dying a moment later.
Su Ping revived him and gave him some more fruit.
This time, the Purple Python felt better, but the pain was still there.
Su Ping gave the last fruit to the Hell Dragon.
The Hell Dragon did better than the other battle pets from the start, but Su Ping wanted to treat them fairly. Also, there might be some other mysterious effects of the golden fruit that he had yet to notice.
The Hell Dragon was unable to stand up straight, but the golden fruit helped him deflect the heat a little.
Su Ping looked at the tree. Without hesitation, he dug out the tree roots and took out his scroll. He wanted to take the tree with him.
However, the edge of the scroll became dark. Surprised, he quickly put away the scroll.
Scoundrel. I can't believe this artifact isn't even heat resistant.
Su Ping was stunned. The scroll was an interspatial artifact but the heat was enough to damage it. He believed the scroll would be completely destroyed if he left the scroll outside for a few minutes.
He could tell how harsh the environment was.
Even the Hell Dragon felt his surroundings were incredible.
This is no ordinary tree. I don't want to hand it over. Su Ping thought about it. Finally, he summoned the Hell Dragon and told him to carry the tree on his back for a while.
The Hell Dragon moved closer and took on the duty of the bearer.
Su Ping then went to dig out some red grass strands nearby and threw them onto the back of the Hell Dragon as well.
He finished the harvest and looked around. There was nothing else in sight; he had to continue his search.
“Let's go,” says Su Ping. He put the Void Bug back into the contract room, as it could barely last a second; staying out there would be useless for his level. He decided that the Void Bug should stay in the contract room to rest.
