Astral Pet Store – Chapter 643
“Here we are..”.
Standing in front of Su Ping was a bronze door of primitive simplicity. The door was carved with a strange but human-like giant that seemed to be looking down at the world in front of them.
An ancient savage atmosphere flowed out from the door, which seemed to have stood here for tens of thousands of years.
The bronze door opened slightly. Su Ping let his common sense seep out from the crack. There is no king of animals.
I can't believe there's a door in the place where the beasts live …
Su Ping was confused. This door did not seem to be made by some ferocious beast.
Could it be that in the beginning, the battle pet master chased away the ferocious beasts and built that door to hold them back?
It seems to be the only explanation.
Su Ping moved without hesitation.
Whooshing sound!
He moved himself through a small crack and appeared on the other side of the door.
The parts surrounding the huge bronze door were filled with a strange power. He could not teleport through any other place, just through a crack.
He had to push the door open if it was tightly closed.
While on the other side of the door, Su Ping saw a passageway full of slime, spiderwebs, beast skeletons and dried blood in front of him. The passage had a downward slope; it emitted an unpleasant smell, and there was no light.
Su Ping was already used to the pitch-black environment, so he did not feel any discomfort. After obtaining his perception, he carefully followed the Little Skeleton down the passageway. The shaft was extremely wide, with a diameter of four to five hundred meters; it allowed nearly five great beast kings to walk side by side.
Compared to that huge passageway, Su Ping was like an ant.
A gust of hot air occasionally flowed from the depths of the passageway, as if it was the mouth of a living, breathing beast.
Su Ping carefully expanded his consciousness to the maximum range. As he went deeper into the passageway, he immediately reached the end, where he found a blazing fire at the entrance to a cave.
Lying at the end of the passageway was a lava field.
No more junction on the road. It was a flat land with strange rocks standing there. The ground is so vast that the radius should be hundreds of kilometers. Su Ping could not even see such a vast land border!
The rocks and walls were red, and the high temperature in the air should be at least eighty or ninety degrees.
Several large skeletons scattered all over the ground. It was clear that the competition between monsters was fierce.
I don't think there's a king of beasts here …
Su Ping failed to find the beast king.
Even the beast king has left.
Su Ping frowned; he still hid his energy and continued to suppress.
As he went deeper and deeper into the ground, Su Ping noticed that the temperature in the surrounding area was getting higher and higher. The ground under his feet was covered with red stones; some of the stones had been under such high temperatures that they had finally turned into red crystals. There were several sharp blades formed by crystals on the nearby walls.
Although the crystals do not have any special effects, they can still be sold at a high price, even per gram, given their beautiful appearance.
After visiting the Golden Crow star, Su Ping was unaffected by the heat. The Small Skeleton also felt comfortable for having gone through heavy training in a harsh environment.
That place was actually cool when compared to the Golden Crows domain.
Suddenly, Su Ping stopped. He saw a red beast perched on the stone wall in front of him, a hundred meter long creature akin to a lizard with bright red scales. The beast was resting on one of those crystals; at first glance, he had mistaken it as part of a stone.
The beast seemed to be sleeping.
Empty state…
Su Ping frowned. He had never seen such an animal but he knew that it could not be underestimated.
The beast king he had encountered above the nest was basically in the Ocean State. But the first beast king he found there was in the Void State!
Although he had become extremely resistant to fire, almost becoming an invincible opponent for the ferocious beasts of the fire family, he decided not to attack. The ground was vast and he could not judge the situation clearly. He did not know what else could wait around him.
The detour!
Su Ping circled the beast and then continued.
After the encounter of the red lizard, Su Ping immediately found another beast king. One beast king was playing around in a puddle of lava and two smaller beast kings followed the larger one that was in the Fate Country! Su Ping was stunned. The Fate State beast king was as powerful as the Otherworldly Heavenly King! Those beast kings should be rarer than this.
He saw one right in front of his eyes! The Thousand-Eyed Demon Beasts I saw in the Corridor were also in a State of Fate. So, there's been two…
Su Ping's mind was burdened.
The tower only had twelve legendary battle pet warriors in the Void State!
One beast king in the Country of Destiny .. equals seven or eight legendary battle pet warriors in the Void Country!
He also considered the legendary warrior battle pets. If every Void State battle pet warrior had three Void State battle pet, seven or eight legendary battle pet warriors combined could equal over twenty in the Void State!
Still, they would be defeated by one in the Fate Country!
The fighting pet warrior had to use some special formations even to compete with the Fate State creatures!
The gap between Void State and Fate State is as wide as the world. The two Fate State beast kings he saw there were enough to unsettle the Tower, not to mention the four Heavenly Kings outside!
The Thousand-eyed Demon Beast did not kill the Little Skeleton. It also left the Corridor three days ago …
Su Ping learned that the Thousand-Eyed Demon Beast had survived after communicating with the Little Skeleton. His skeleton was unable to kill him as it was only at the ninth rank. It was already incredible that he was able to survive and even fight against the king of beasts in the Fate Country!
Likewise, the Demonic Beasts were unable to eliminate the Little Skeleton, and the latter finally found an opportunity to escape. The Thousand-eyed Demon Beast gave up on chasing after the Little Skeleton; that was how the Little Skeleton managed to survive.
Su Ping surrounded the beast kings and continued on his way.
Half an hour passed. He had met three more beast kings during that time, all in the Void State!
It seems that the Ocean State beast is a minority.
Whahuh?
Suddenly, he felt a strong presence around fifty thousand meters in front of him. All the ferocious beasts found were in the Fate Country!
Su Ping narrowed his eyes.
Four beast kings in the Country of Destiny?
Counting the rest he saw on the road, he had met the five beast kings in the Fate Country in total!
Such a number of masters was enough to overthrow the world!
Why are they all gathered in this place…?
Su Ping felt strange. He told the Little Skeleton to join him.
The Little Skeleton ran and covered it.
Violent energy instantly flooded Su Ping's limbs. While covered in white bones, he was like a god of death.
After they joined forces, he stole the way forward.
Su Ping was able to hide himself completely with the help of the Small Skeleton.
Soon after, he was close enough to get a better view. The fire raged further ahead. There was actually a square formation; outside the seal, four giant beasts— each with a body of several hundred meters— lay in four directions. The ferocious beast seemed to be guarding the formation.
Guarded by the four beasts in the Fate Country?
Su Ping felt how his heart was racing.
Array has a complicated structure. There were runes flowing around the formation.
Sealing formation?
“Ya.” System sounds appear.
Su Ping was surprised. He was angry at the system after regaining consciousness. But it seemed like he could never discipline the system. Also, the system has confirmed its assumptions. It was a sealing formation!
Su Ping had spent a lot of time with Joanna's subordinates at the Demigod Cemetery; she had learned many things from them. That was why he was able to figure out the type of formation from the runes used.
There was a sealing formation at the deepest level of the Inner Cave!
Was that the formation Li Yuanfeng was talking about?
Su Ping denied the idea.
No, it's not that.
If that formation was the only element keeping the Inner Cave in order, that formation should have been broken by now!
Also, the four Fate State beasts were guarding the formation; the formation had to be critical!
But…
What was sealed within the formation?
An even more terrifying beast? Or is it something else?
I wonder what will happen if this formation is destroyed .. Su Ping is itching to try.
The four Fate State beast kings were there, but he was no longer the weak human everyone knew.
Even without joining the Small Skeleton, Su Ping was almost on par with the State of Fate. He even felt that such a creature would not reject his Void Sword!
Once he joined the Little Skeleton, he no longer worried about the ferocious beasts in the Fate Country.
But he's still fighting.
Four Fate State beasts guarding the formation .. None of them could be the true rulers of the Deep Caves. If two people are riding a horse, one of them has to ride in the back. That is the truth for all species, humans and animals!
The ruler of the Deep Caves had to be much stronger, as he was able to manipulate the Fate State beasts. Ruler is at the peak of the State of Destiny .. or at the Star Rank! He could deal with the former, but it would be too troublesome if it was the latter!
I'll take a look around, to see if the ruler is here. Su Ping quietly left the formation and went the other way.
He had learned the stealth skills from Joanna. He also discovered some disguise skills when he was practicing at the cultivation location. Even Fate State beasts could not see through his disguise.
Of course, Fate State beasts with extraordinary perceptual abilities would later be able to notice it. Flying time.
Six hours later.
Su Ping had covered almost the entire area.
He avoided the places where the beasts rested. This was unlike the Corridor, where the passageways were complicated, and if there was a battle in one passageway, the ferocious beasts in the other passageway might not notice it.
But there, every corner would feel it once the battle broke out
Especially when the whole area is empty.
There are ... eight Fate State beasts!
Su Ping's mind was clouded.
He saw eight of them in the Fate State!
They are the ones who stay behind. He had no idea how many Fate State creatures were coming out.
He was convinced that the number of Fate Countries they had outside should be greater!
For example, he did not see the Thousand-eyed Demonic Beast.
But none of the beasts I saw in the driveway were strong enough to become the master of the Inner Cave. So far, the eight beast kings that I have noticed are very strong, but I can still defeat them if I manage to fight them one by one, Su Ping thought.
He did not think any one of the eight could have the strength to command the four guarding the formation.
The ruler must have left!
I can try to destroy the formation.
Once he confirmed that the ruler was not there, Su Ping felt itchy to try again.
He hid his energy and stole his way back into the formation.
The four beast kings were still near the formation; one of them was sleeping, and the other was so bored that it was toying with its tail.
Wait a minute, instead of the ruler being sealed in that formation, right? Su Ping thought of something. That's possible.
If he destroyed the formation, he would unleash the ruler!
However, he immediately dismissed the idea.
If the ruler was sealed within the formation, how would he govern the four beasts?
Was it because the formation had loosened and the ruler could command the four beast kings with his consciousness?
Or, perhaps, long ago, rulers were trapped in seals and the beasts of the Fate Country were there to protect their rulers?
Su Ping was struggling.
Even though the odds are low, the risk remains.
Suddenly, Su Ping stopped fighting.
Let's say the ruler was indeed sealed in the formation; the fact that the Fate State beast king had to stay there and guard the formation meant they had to make sure the formation wasn't destroyed! That is, destroying the formation would not be good for a savage beast!
Su Ping eyes glowed. He exerted his astral powers. He's gonna do it!
But at that moment, Su Ping suddenly realized that there was a puddle of lava next to the formation. As the lava surged inward, a red scale tens of meters was revealed.
Su Ping looked surprised. He's turning pale.
That scale contained soaring vitality!
His scales came from a dead creature!
Either the scales had just come off or the scales were still attached to living things!
Could it be. Su Ping wondered. He had seen a beast put a feather in its nest. He thought the beast was gone and he could steal the youngster. However, the fur instantly turned into a ferocious beast that killed him.
It was something that could be done by those at Star Rank: long-distance teleportation!
As long as there was a medium, the beast king could teleport anywhere, even from the North Pole to the South Pole!
That floating scale was most likely his medium!
Once something goes wrong in the nest, the creature can return through the scales!
There were four king beasts in the Country of Destiny. The owner of the scale was very concerned with formations. What is contained within the formation?
What could be feared even by the ferocious beasts in the Inner Cave?
If I am unable to destroy the formation and have warned all those ferocious beasts, I will never be able to return again, Su Ping thought. After quite a lot of thought, he decided not to move at the moment.
The current priority was to deal with the ferocious beasts outside.
As for the formation, there would probably be a good time in the future to return and destroy the formation to distract the beasts. That's not the right thing to do right now. After all, once he failed, the formation would be more heavily guarded; the second attempt would be much more difficult.
