"This is Zone 92?"
Old man Mo, Luo Guxue, and the others quickly saw their surroundings. When they saw the barren land and scorched earth, they immediately felt the harsh environment of this area. Most of the demonic beasts that had lived in such an extreme environment for a long time were extremely cruel and violent.
"Be careful, guys."
Nie Chengkong put on a serious face. He quickly divided the work and said, "Zhou Jing, you will be in charge of the sky. Yuelin, you will be in charge of the ground. The rest of you, stay alert. Old Mo, I heard that you have an Earth Fire Sound Beast that can hear all the sounds within a radius of 15 miles. Can you summon it in case we miss something?"
Elder Hiroshi's eyes flashed. He glanced at him and nodded. "Of course."
With that said, he waved his hand and a swirl appeared in the air. From the swirl jumped out a pet the size of a cheetah. The pet's four feet were stepping on flames. The flames were growing and growing, as if they were the fur on the pet's four feet.
The upper body of the pet was like a tapir, with a nose like a elephant and ears like rabbit. Its body was covered in black spots that looked like swirls or eyeballs.
The Earth Fire Sound Beast was a pet of both earth and fire. It was a rare scouting pet. While it was average in combat, it was good at scouting. It was good at distinguishing sounds and could hear things within a radius of dozens of miles.
Luo Guxue and Ye Chenshan were surprised. They didn't know that Old Mo had such a rare scouting pet. The Earth Fire Sound Beast could be as useful as a dragon in the barren area!
Dragons were powerful pets. However, when exploring the barren land, supportive pets were more important. After all, no matter how strong a warrior was, he or she would be doomed if he or she ran into a beast king's nest.
As soon as the Earth Fire Sound Beast came out, Old Mo ordered the Earth Fire Sound Beast to crawl into the ground and bury the hole.
Nie Chengkong was not the only one who felt relieved when the Earth Fire Sleeping Sound Beast was there to investigate. The others were a bit relieved as well.
At the same time, Zhou Jing and Guo Yuelin released their scouting pets as well.
One of them was the Hundred-eyed Eagle, an advanced pet. It was rare but not too rare. Most of the first-rate teams would see a few Hundred-eyed Eagles. They were average in combat strength and most of them were timid. However, they had good eyesight. When they reached adulthood, they could look down at ants from a height of 10,000 meters.
The Hundred-eyed Eagle had a small body. Although it was called Hundred-eyed, it did not have a hundred pairs of eyes. It only had four.
Guo Yuelin's pet was the Earthquake Beast, a common advanced pet of the stone family. The pet's combat ability was average, and so was its scouting ability.
After the three of them summoned their pets to check the surroundings, Nie Chengkong took out the map from his backpack. He looked around and quickly determined their location. "We are at the edge of this area. The safe route is … southeast."
Su Ping found the information about the dragon scale area in his mind. He couldn't help but cast a glance at Nie Chengkong and frowned. Soon, he relaxed and focused on the map in Nie Chengkong's hand.
He had explored this area before and had completely developed it. Even if he didn't use the map, he knew the environment here. Looking at the map now, he realized that the information on the map was similar to the information on the dragon scale area that he had explored. No wonder the map felt familiar when he looked at it earlier.
"So, the treasures here are the same as the ones on the dragon scale land …" Su Ping's eyes flickered. All of a sudden, he was filled with excitement.
Among the dragon scale lands that he had explored, he had encountered many powerful treasures. It was a pity that the treasures he had obtained in the land of inheritance were all illusions and could not be taken out of the cultivation site.
But here … he could take them out!
Thinking of this, Su Ping was filled with excitement. He even wanted to leave the team and give up on the treasures here.
After all, among the many dragon scale lands, although the secret treasures in this dragon scale land were not bad, they were not the best!
"Now that we know the route, let's go!"
Su Ping said. He was eager to finish exploring this area as soon as possible and he would have fulfilled Ye Chenshan's request. He could explore other dragon scale lands by himself.
If he were to leave the team now, it would be strange and he would be breaking his promise. Besides, Su Ping would feel guilty if the team was wiped out because of this.
Both Old Mo and Old Chen had the same idea. They wanted to get on the road as soon as possible. However, when those words came from Su Ping's mouth, they didn't like it. It was as if a person who knew nothing was giving orders.
Nie Chengkong nodded. "Guys, please summon your battle pets first. I'm afraid I won't be able to react in time."
"Sure."
Ye Chenshan nodded. Since they were exploring this area, they had to summon their battle pets and stay alert at all times. Besides, battle pets were not only good at fighting. Once a beast attacked them, they might be able to react before Ye Chenshan could and block the attack for him.
Old Mo and the others had no objections. They all summoned their battle pets.
Su Ping thought about it and summoned the Dark Dragon Hound.
The Little Skeleton was his first battle pet.
The Inferno Dragon was his second battle pet.
The Dark Dragon Hound was his second battle pet. As for the third battle pet, it was the Purple Python.
As a matter of fact, the Purple Python was not bad. However, it had just hatched. The Dark Dragon Hound had evolved from an adult Moon Chasing Hound.
Su Ping didn't summon the Little Skeleton directly because he knew that they were still in the outer area. They were not close to the core area yet. There was no need to use the Little Skeleton and the Inferno Dragon.
Besides, the Inferno Dragon would cause too much noise if it came out. Strangely, the Inferno Dragon had learned the ability to conceal its aura that most dragons could not. However, the Inferno Dragon's massive body could still make the earth shake when it walked out. Some sleeping beasts would be alerted.
Luo Guxue summoned the Holy Flame Bird, a pet with an advanced eighth-rank bloodline. It had been injured when fighting the Magical Corpse Beast. It had recovered and had reached the intermediate position of the eighth-rank.
If they ran into the Magical Corpse Beast again, the Holy Flame Bird would be able to help Luo Guxue escape.
Ye Chenshan also summoned his battle pet. This was the first time that Su Ping had seen his battle pet. It was a Gray-scaled Lizard with a ninth-rank bloodline. It was a pet of the stone family that was at the intermediate position of the eighth-rank. It had reached adulthood but had not reached the peak of the ninth-rank.
In this team, Zhou Jing and Guo Yuelin were mainly responsible for scouting and providing support when necessary. Ye Chenshan was in charge of defense, Luo Guxue was in charge of group attacks, and Nie Chengkong was the strongest. His pet was also a ninth-rank Fallen Priest of the demon family. It was eight meters tall and had a dark body. It looked like a Buddha that had turned into a devil. There were bumps all over its head, but each bump was a closed mouth.
The Fallen Priest was strong and violent. It could even ignore the pressure of a dragon. It had a strong desire to kill!
Besides, the Fallen Priest was a humanoid battle pet that could be taught combat skills. The Fallen Priest was holding a long rod that Nie Chengkong had spent a lot of money to forge. The rod was more than ten meters long. One could tell that the Fallen Priest was a staff skill.
Old Mo and Chen had also summoned pets with ninth-rank bloodlines. After all, they were both at the eighth-rank. The average eighth-rank pets could only be their secondary pets.
Old Mo's pet was a ninth-rank Death Scythe of the demon family, also a humanoid battle pet. It was almost ten meters tall and had machetes growing out of its arms. Its body was covered with hideous bumps. Upon closer inspection, one would find that those bumps were actually poisonous tentacles.
Chen's pet was a ninth-rank dragon named Earthen Dragon. It was an inferior dragon that had reached adulthood and was at the peak of the ninth-rank. The Earthen Dragon was one of the strongest ninth-rank pets of the defense family.
When the battle pets were summoned, the difference in strength between the two teams was obvious.
They had thought that Zhou Jing and Guo Yuelin were the weakest in the team. After all, they were mainly in charge of scouting, not the main force of the team. However, it turned out that the weakest one was Su Ping, the foreign aid they had invited.
The Dark Dragon Hound …
The Dark Dragon Hound was a pet with a sixth-rank bloodline of the demon family. While the Dark Dragon Hound was one of the most powerful pets of the demon family, its bloodline was only at the sixth rank. Some of the kings of the Dark Dragon Hounds could be comparable to the seventh-rank. Still, not even the seventh-rank pets were strong enough.
Old Mo and Chen were stunned when they saw Su Ping's Dark Dragon Hound. They couldn't help but turn to Nie Chengkong. Are you sure that the person you invited … is not joking around?!
Nie Chengkong was embarrassed by their questioning looks. However, he had heard about Su Ping from Luo Guxue and Ye Chenshan. He asked, "Brother SU, is that your most powerful pet? I heard that you have a special skeleton of the undead family. Is that true? "
Su Ping nodded. "That is my secondary pet. I will summon it when I am in danger. I summoned it because it has learned the ability to smell. It can detect some dangers in advance. Also, it is good enough to fight under normal circumstances."
Nie Chengkong was speechless.
Zhou Jing frowned. "Mr. Su, this is not a game. We can do the scouting."
Guo Yuelin nodded in agreement. "That's right. We also have Old Mo's Earthfire Sound Beast. We can even detect a mosquito."
Su Ping frowned. Truth be told, he didn't think highly of the three pets with inferior aptitudes. They seemed to be able to detect the area and the sky. However, their pets' scouting abilities were mediocre. Some beasts with special camouflage abilities might not be able to see through their disguises.
For some reason, his Dark Dragon Hound's sense of smell had evolved during the training process. It had learned a ninth-rank scouting ability, which could make up for some of the problems.
Besides, when Su Ping explored and explored the land of the dragon scale, the Dark Dragon Hound's role was to scout. Few things could hide from the Dark Dragon Hound.
The atmosphere was tense. Luo Guxue said in a hurry, "Guys, I think Mr. Su must have his reasons for using the Dark Dragon Hound. Besides, we have so many battle pets with us. Even if we run into dangers that we can't detect, we can react in time. Mr. Su can summon his main battle pet in time."
Luo Guxue had seen what Su Ping was capable of in the academy. She had the most confidence in Su Ping.
Nie Chengkong frowned since Luo Guxue had spoken up. He wanted to say something else but he felt that if he did, the atmosphere would become tense. The exploration hadn't even started yet. If the atmosphere was already like this, it would not be good for the future.
"Never mind. That's it." Nie Chengkong didn't want to say more. He heaved a sigh. The good impression he had of Su Ping was gone.
Ye Chenshan heaved a sigh as well. He shook his head and said nothing. After all, Su Ping had saved his life.
Master Mo snorted. "It's fine that you indulge him. But my Earthfire Sound Beast will never run into any beast that it can't detect, unless it's a Beast King. If there is a Beast King here, we won't be able to survive."
Nie Chengkong could tell that Master Mo wasn't happy.
Luo Guxue knew that she had misspoken. She apologized as well.
Su Ping didn't expect that he would cause so much trouble when he tried to take care of the big picture and fill in the gaps. Luo Guxue was speaking up for him and apologizing. Su Ping pulled a long face. He was about to lose his temper when suddenly, he frowned and said, "A beast is coming."
"What?"
When everyone heard his words, they were all shocked.
However, when they realized that it was Su Ping who had spoken, everyone except Luo Guxue went into a defensive mode and relaxed.
