Astral Pet Store – Chapter 624
“Hah?”
Diqiong felt something like he was about to leave the nest. It turned around and looked at Su Ping, only to see a streak of dark light disappear. Diqiong wondered. Just then, he sensed a strange power, something Diqiong wanted to obtain…
It must be an illusion …
Diqiong shook his head. Su Ping was much weaker; he could not use that power. It must be an illusion …
“Come go.”
Diqiong flew out of his nest and dragged Su Ping.
The arrogant crow brought Su Ping to the gathering place.
Su Ping stood on the golden cube that was no longer unbreakable to him. He felt he could— while exerting his full strength—destroying the golden cube!
But he doesn't have to do that.
He stood on the golden cube with his hands crossed backwards and looked around, then at the ancient tree and its leaves. He was certain that if he plucked a hundred leaves from the tree, the leaves themselves would be large enough to cover the entire Blue Planet!
But to an ancient tree, losing a hundred leaves was nothing.
Wide and infinite.
Su Ping felt that even his mind had expanded. What a magical feeling.
…
“That man..”
The Three Golden Crows were sitting on a twig. It was as if their vision could see the entire universe and time, past and future. One could barely look them in the eye.
Right now, the Elder Chief looked through the clouds and leaves and saw a wisp of dark light disappear from Su Ping fingertips.
“Again, he's not too bad ..”
The Chief Elder nodded. Eyes glittering.
…
…
“Are they all here for the trial?” Su Ping asked.
Diqiong took him out of his nest and flew past the many leaves that were as big as ten base cities. Su Ping gradually began to see more and more Golden Crows gathering.
All of the Golden Crows were as big as an aircraft carrier; much larger than the king beasts found on the Blue Planet.
There were much larger crows around the relatively smaller Golden Crow. The two groups traveled to climb further up the tree.
Su Ping realized that it must be the Golden Plant that had prepared for the trial.
Diqiong saw Golden Grows and threatened Su Ping, “Ya. They are all your opponents. I'll make sure they do their worst and crush you mercilessly.”
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. “So, many oppress a little?”
“Not really. We don't need to rely on a large group to destroy you.” Diqiong grunting.
Su Ping was not wanting to argue; he was just staring at the majestic scene.
More and more Golden Crows of various sizes were approaching the ancient tree. It was as if many rays of sparkling light reached the ancient tree.
Even the young Golden Crow was at the legendary rank, not to mention the mature Golden Crow.
Being an ancient race, the Golden Crow did threaten.
“Trial..”.
For the sake of the Little Skeleton, he must pass the trial!
…
Under the crown of the tree.
The elders were on the twigs, while perched on the surrounding foliage were countless Golden Crow. All the crows perched on the twigs had a high status; the general public could only fly around followed by his children.
Of course, those children were fearsome opponents for Su Ping.
Diqiong brought Su Ping to the branch where the elders were sitting.
Diqiong's appearance shocked many Golden Crow. They made way for him and greeted him with respect. The other Golden Crow was attracted to Su Ping, having been dragged there by Diqiong. It was the first time they saw such a “aneh” thing... Is it Your Majesty's snack?
A Golden Crow in its infancy asked the larger one, “Mother, what is that thing? I don't think it looks good. ”
A huge Golden Crow stuck out his son's head with the tip of his wings. “Shut up and listen to the elders. I'll break your third leg if you can't pass the test this time!”
…
The Chief Elder looked at the Golden Crow from a height. It did not say anything to Diqiong and Su Ping. The Elder Chairman announced when all the Golden Crow have arrived, “The resurrection try begins now. All participants, please come forward and gather in front of me!”
The loud voice of the Chief Elder rang out in the half of the ancient tree.
The Golden Crow was fascinated by that voice.
Some adult Golden Grows bowed to show their respect. After the elder finished, they urged their children to leave if they were to be expelled from the trial. Su Ping felt that the scene was just like when human parents sent their children to school. Suddenly, he felt that the Golden Crow was not so far away from him.
They were not just merciless primordial creatures; they were living beings with hearts.
Whooshing sound! Whooshing sound!
The Golden Crow flew up and approached the Chief Elder.
That Golden Crow is a young Golden Crow that is “smaller”. They landed on the twig behind Diqiong and Su Ping. The wind they caused made Su Ping's hair fall apart.
The young Golden Crow came one after another; their strength varied, as some of them seemed to be stronger.
“See, Your Excellency Diqiong!”
“Your Majesty, the carrier of ancestral lineage!”
“Squeezing~”
The young Golden Crow watched Diqiong; the look in their eyes was full of admiration and respect. Some Golden Grows stepped aside, afraid to see Diqiong.
“Family He!”
“Family Qiong!”
Diqiong glanced towards the young Golden Grows. There was no smell of admiration when looking down on them all, like a queen choosing a dress.
Su Ping recalled that Diqiong had told him that the Golden Crow who won the trial could potentially be part of the royal crow's personal bodyguard. Suddenly, he felt pity for that incredible young Golden Crow.
Diqiong suddenly said to Su Ping, “If you make it to the last round, which is a comprehensive trial, then, you better hope you don't meet any of them or you'll end up in trouble!”
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. Is that a warning?
“That person is from the He family; it can easily win first place and join my Guards reserves! ” Diqiong raised his chin in a certain direction.
Su Ping turned around, puzzled.
All Golden Crow looked the same. Which one is Diqiong talking about?
“You can't find it? It looks ordinary,” Diqiong told Su Ping.
Su Ping was still confused.
A regular?
All those Golden Crow looked ordinary; he felt like he was visiting a chicken farm. Well, he wished he was on a chicken farm because he could tell the difference from chicken feathers, but that Golden Crow. How could he distinguish one of them!
“That's from the Qiong family. You want to stay away from him too, ” Diqiong said again.
The Golden Crow sensed Diqiong's gaze and immediately put on a respectful face; others around him did the same. Each of them thought His Highness Diqiong was looking specifically at themselves.
Attractively.
Su Ping glanced. The young Golden Crow lowered their heads as if they were feeling ashamed …
“Yah, alright.”
Su Ping curled his lips. He knew that Diqiong was warning him well, even though he did not understand why Diqiong did that at all. But ... that doesn't help!
“I'm bird blind,” Su Ping told Diqiong.
Diqiong.
Su Ping decided not to explain. He did not think the Golden Crow would be happy to be called a bird.
The space in front of the Chief Elder suddenly started rippling as a crack appeared. Inside was a place with a towering stone pillar that had a carving of a Golden Crow. Su Ping also looked at the bridge made of clouds.
Across the bridge is a small spot, but you can also see a bottomless hole at the edge.
There were large stones lying around him.
“Please, children,” said the Chief Elder.
All the Golden Crow were excited.
The young Golden Crow squeaked and rambled. Suddenly, Su Ping felt his ears were about to bleed. Next, he heard the wind and the flapping of wings.
The Golden Crow flew towards the vortex in the air.
whusssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
Countless Golden Crows disappeared the moment they entered the trial grounds.
Although young, the Golden Crow was extremely majestic; su Ping could see nothing but rays of golden light. She's amazed.
Even the entrance to the trial grounds was incredible for the ancient race!
Soon, many Golden Crow had entered the testing grounds and only a dozen were still outside. Some large Golden Crow began to squeak in anxiety and sigh in disappointment. They are the parents of children who have not yet flown to the venue.
“Job. I forgot I was still outside!”
Su Ping patted his head.
Diqiong glanced at him and said in annoyance, “You will not go anywhere without my permission. The Chief Elder also said that you will be tested in a separate place. Try to stay calm!”
“True..”
Su Ping remembered that the Elder Chief did say something like that.
“You will spend all your time dying if you join them!” Diqiong grunting. “The Chief Elder is trying to protect you, as a way to be fair and respectful to the Lord of Heaven!”
Su Ping calmed down. “So, the trial has no time limit, right?”
“Of course. The first half was about power. It has nothing to do with time or speed. Of course, you can tell something from how fast the Golden Crows entered. The strong fast and the weak.” Diqiong left the last part unspoken.
Su Ping was relieved.
He saw that the Golden Crow was flying towards the boulders.
Some stones were even several times larger than the Golden Crow.
Su Ping suddenly saw how a Golden Crow grabbed a stone of its own size and started flying away. But the task seems heavy.
Even so, the hairy spectators looked amazed.
“About what is it?” Su Ping asked Diqiong.
Diqiong explained proudly, “I told you that the first round has to do with strength. Of course, we will see who is stronger. The one capable of taking the largest stone and flying to the other side will have the best score; if two carry large stones of the same size, we will choose depending on which one flies faster.”
Su Ping widened his eyes in disbelief.
That all?
It's too primitive!
The ancient races had to do better than this!
“Man!”
That was the Elder Leader. “To be fair, I will open a place for you alone. You must have seen how the trial was conducted. You can go now.”
Another vortex gradually appeared next to where the Golden Crows were. The place inside the new vortex was much smaller.
The spectators looked at the Chief Elder in surprise and then set their sights on Su Ping who remained behind Diqiong. The only alien being present was Su Ping.
“Thank you, Chief Elder,” said Su Ping. The Chief Elder claimed that it was fair, but it was only done for the sake of the Heaven Master. Even so, Su Ping thanked him for his consideration.
“Please,” says Diqiong. It looked away from Su Ping as if it did not care at all.
Su Ping did not know what to say to the moody bird. A moment before, Diqiong warned him, but then acted as if he did not want to talk to him. What a complex creature.
Whooshing sound!
Su Ping focused his mind and flew towards the vortex.
He took the trial so that he could get the Little Skeleton back. He is unable to be disturbed.
He has entered the venue.
“That's heavy!”
Su Ping felt he was pushed to the ground and nearly fell down. But he reacted quickly; his body made the right choice before his thoughts came in.
Su Ping turned around. He only had a faint view from outside from the entrance, like looking from underwater, with everything becoming murky.
“I think the gravitational pull is much stronger here,” Su Ping said to himself. Moreover, it was a place where no astral force could be drawn. He would not have the supplies to make up for the astral power he would use.
