"No." Guo Yuelin was confused.
The Earthquake Beast she had hidden underground didn't sense any movement on the ground.
Zhou Jing was confused as well. He closed his eyes and tried to sense his Hundred-Eyed Eagle. He didn't sense anything either.
Master Mo pulled a long face. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
His Earthfire Sound Beast didn't sense anything either. Su Ping claimed that some beasts were approaching. How ridiculous! Not only ridiculous, but also hateful. It was a taboo to lie about military intelligence during an expedition!
Nie Chengkong and Chen looked at the three of them and heard the word "swallow" again.
Master Mo's words made them realize that Su Ping was talking nonsense. They didn't look happy. Su Ping was making trouble on purpose!
Chen was about to say something when all of a sudden, Master Mo's expression changed. "Over there!" he shouted in a hurry.
Everyone looked over.
Hundreds of meters in front of them, the air was twisting. A group of Wind-Winged Vipers dashed out!
A group of Wind-Winged Vipers!
Everyone was shocked.
The Wind-Winged Vipers were at the eighth rank of the wind family. They were at the lower position of the eighth rank at the peak. However, there was not one Wind-Winged Viper, but a group of them!
"Get ready to fight!" Nie Chengkong shouted. At the same time, he darted a look at Su Ping. He was surprised. Master Mo, Guo Yuelin, and Zhou Jing didn't sense anything but Su Ping did!
If they had listened to Su Ping and set up a formation right away, they would have had a better chance of winning.
However, they were caught off guard. They had to change their formation!
When Elder Hiroshi saw the Wind-Winged Azure Python, he knew something was wrong. Although his Earthfire Sound Slumbering Beast could detect movements from dozens of miles away, this Wind-Winged Azure Python had an extremely high concealment ability. It could travel with the wind and use the wind to cover up the sound it emitted, allowing it to silently approach the enemy.
Also, Wind-Winged Vipers were social beasts. They would gather in a group and sneak up to their enemies to tear them apart with their numbers.
Both Zhou Jing and Guo Yuelin were stunned. Their pets hadn't detected the swarm of Wind-Winged Pythons. Neither of them expected that there would be a swarm of Wind-Winged Pythons in this world that was as dark as a sea of fire.
Nie Chengkong's yell brought the two back to their senses. They focused on their battle pets and prepared for battle.
"I'll defend!"
The muscular man surnamed Chen growled.
The Earthen Dragon in front of him roared and stomped on the ground. Many black walls rose from the ground, forming a giant shield with a diameter of six or seven meters. The shield covered everyone inside like a bowl, leaving only their pets outside.
Everyone's vision was pitch black inside the Giant Earthen Shield, but everyone's perception could extend out of the shield and see the situation outside.
"Eleven, twelve … sixteen!"
Nie Chengkong quickly counted the number of Wind-Winged Vipers. His face turned pale. He had just arrived and he had already run into a group of beasts of the eighth rank, 16 of them! If they hadn't asked Old Mo and the brawny man surnamed Chen for help and relied on their own battle team, they would definitely have been defeated.
"I see that clan leader. I'll take care of it."
Old Mo's face was clouded. He volunteered to take care of the clan leader. After all, he was in charge of scouting and he had made a bold claim. However, he was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye. He only noticed when an eighth-rank beast sneaked up on him. He wanted to do something to make up for his mistake.
"Okay. The other battle pets will help you. Take care of the other Wind-Winged Vipers!"
Nie Chengkong made the decision at once. The battle broke out in an instant. There was no time to discuss a solution. Besides, Old Mo's ninth-rank scythe guardian was powerful. It wouldn't be difficult to take care of the leader of the Wind-Winged Vipers.
Hiss!
Outside the Giant Earthen Shield, the Wind-Winged Vipers were hissing. Each one of them was over twenty meters long and their wings were over a dozen meters long. There were strange patterns on the wings. As soon as they got out of the shield, the Wind-Winged Vipers charged forward.
Hurricanes swept across like violent tornadoes. The air was filled with violent wind elements.
Individually, the Wind-Winged Vipers were only at the lower position of the eighth-rank. Even Ye Chenshan could take care of them. However, when a dozen Wind-Winged Vipers gathered together, they could be as destructive as ninth-rank beasts.
Numerous hurricanes and wind blades swept out like a Tier 9 skill, Tornado Blade, sweeping over. The charred ground was forcefully lifted up, and deep fissures were carved into the ground!
"Oh, no. I forgot to bring your Dark Dragon Hound!"
The brawny man with the surname Chen turned to Su Ping as soon as he sensed the violent energy of the hurricane.
Chen didn't like Su Ping at first. However, Su Ping was the first one to notice the approaching beasts. That was to say, Su Ping's Dark Dragon Hound was as good as Old Mo's Earthfire Sound Beast!
Nie Chengkong and the others were taken aback by Chen's words.
The Dark Dragon Hound was merely a beast with a sixth-rank bloodline. It had grown up and was at its prime. However, compared to the Wind-Winged Vipers, the Dark Dragon Hound was like a piece of paper that could be torn apart in an instant!
Besides, there was more than one Wind-Winged Viper in front of them. When so many Wind-Winged Vipers worked together, even a ninth-rank beast would suffer!
"What are you waiting for? Open the shield and let Mr. Su Ping's Dark Dragon Hound in!" Luo Guxue said in a hurry. She considered Su Ping to be her savior. She would not allow any harm to come to him.
Chen and Nie Chengkong were taken aback by Luo Guxue's words.
"If we activate the shield now, we will be attacked as well. The three of us will be able to withstand the attacks. But you …" Mr. Chen said. "Brother Su, I was too careless." Mr. Chen looked at Su Ping apologetically.
He wouldn't have cared if the Dark Dragon Hound died before. However, the Dark Dragon Hound had done a great service. Chen felt sorry that it had to die.
Luo Guxue pulled a long face. She understood that as well. She looked at Su Ping with concern.
All of a sudden, Ye Chenshan made up his mind and said, "I will use my Gray-scaled Lizard as a shield!"
His Gray-scaled Lizard was at the intermediate position of the eighth-rank and it was a defensive pet. If it had to face one Wind-Winged Viper alone, he would have killed it. However, his Gray-scaled Lizard might not be able to withstand the attacks of more than a dozen Wind-Winged Vipers. It could be injured or even killed.
That was why he didn't say anything at first. After Luo Guxue said that, he struggled for a while. In the end, he chose to take the risk and help.
"Good." Nie Chengkong was a bit relieved. "You have to be careful as well."
Ye Chenshan nodded. He was about to order his Gray-scaled Lizard to protect Su Ping's Dark Dragon Hound when he noticed that while they were talking, Su Ping's Dark Dragon Hound was gone!
The Dark Dragon Hound … was cut into pieces by the wind blades?!
Ye Chenshan could not believe it.
However, the next second, his pupils contracted. He had found Su Ping's Dark Dragon Hound. However, the Dark Dragon Hound was not outside the Earthen Shield. Had it … run into the crowd of Wind-Winged Vipers?!
"What …" Ye Chenshan was speechless.
When did the Dark Dragon Hound get there?!
"Don't worry about my Dark Dragon Hound. Go and cover the Death Scythe. Let it kill the leader of the Wind-Winged Vipers as soon as possible," Su Ping said calmly.
At the same time, the others had noticed that something was wrong as well. The orderly crowd of Wind-Winged Vipers had become chaotic. When they saw the source of the chaos, they were stunned speechless!
The Dark Dragon Hound was like a tiger in a flock of sheep. It had run into the crowd of Wind-Winged Vipers and pounced on the Dark Dragon Hound, breaking up the formation of the Wind-Winged Vipers. Seven or eight Wind-Winged Vipers were attacking the Dark Dragon Hound. None of them had time to care about the leader of the Wind-Winged Vipers.
"What …"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
A sixth-rank pet was jumping around in a crowd of eighth-rank pets?!
They wondered if their eyes were playing tricks on them. But their senses could not be wrong. What they saw was more real than what they could see with their naked eyes.
Luo Guxue came back to her senses after a moment. All of a sudden, she remembered the rumors circulating in the academy about the miraculous Lightning Rat and the miraculous training ability in Su Ping's store.
Sure enough, the combat strength of this guy's pets could not be judged by their ranks.
Luo Guxue forced a bitter smile. All of a sudden, she had an idea. When she got back, she would go to Su Ping's store as well.
"Brother Su, your …" Nie Chengkong opened his mouth. His Fallen Priest had yet to take action, but more than half of the Wind-Winged Vipers had been attracted by Su Ping's Dark Dragon Hound. The Dark Dragon Hound's performance was so outstanding that it was hard to believe.
Su Ping said, "As I said, the Dark Dragon Hound can help with reconnaissance and it has some combat strength as well. That's enough for us at the outer edge."
Everyone was speechless.
You call that having some combat strength?!
The Dark Dragon Hound's combat strength was off the charts!!
What kind of sixth-rank pet could have such strength? The Dark Dragon Hound was pouncing on the Wind-Winged Vipers. People who didn't know better would think that the Dark Dragon Hound was a ninth-rank pet!
The Dark Dragon Hound's performance had earned everyone's recognition of Su Ping's combat strength. That was just the Dark Dragon Hound's secondary pet. If Su Ping's primary pet were to be at the upper position of the eighth-rank, or even close to the ninth-rank!
Master Chen and Master Mo darted a look at Su Ping. At this moment, both of them had acknowledged Su Ping and were treating him as an equal.
Previously, when Nie Chengkong gave Su Ping the chance to pick the treasure, they were still angry. But they felt much better now.
The Dark Dragon Hound's performance was not as good as their own pets. That being said, the Dark Dragon Hound was only Su Ping's secondary pet. Besides, Su Ping's age was the biggest factor. It was highly likely that he would become a titled battle pet warrior in the future. They didn't want to offend such a young talent.
"I'm coming as well. Finish it now!"
Nie Chengkong was relieved to see the Dark Dragon Hound's performance. He was excited. He told his Fallen Priest to join the wild beasts as well. The wild beasts that should have been a threat to them were not worth mentioning at the moment.
With the Fallen Priest joining the crowd, the Wind-Winged Vipers were scattered even more. Master Mo didn't care about anything else. He focused on controlling his Death Scythe to attack the leader of the Wind-Winged Vipers.
The Wind-Winged Vipers were at the intermediate position of the eighth-rank, but the Death Scythe was at the lower position of the ninth-rank. Even though the Death Scythe was protected by four Wind-Winged Vipers, the Death Scythe was still forcing the Death Scythe to retreat.
Luo Guxue and Ye Chenshan looked at each other. There was nothing they could do. The Dark Dragon Hound didn't need their help.
Guo Yuelin and Zhou Jing looked at each other, speechless. They couldn't help but look at the back of the young man. Previously, they were dissatisfied and doubtful of Su Ping. But at this moment, they were convinced that this young man could save Luo Guxue and Ye Chenshan.
Roar!
The Dark Dragon Hound was roaring happily in the midst of the Wind-Winged Vipers. This was a familiar place with familiar opponents. The Dark Dragon Hound had tortured the Wind-Winged Vipers many times. It was like a cat playing with mice.
The Wind-Winged Vipers that were surrounding the Dark Dragon Hound were frustrated. They were advanced pets and yet, they were being pushed into such a corner by a dog.
What frustrated them the most was that their Wind Blade, Wind Strangle, Mitochondria Entanglement, and other skills that they were so confident in were all useless against the dog. The black flames around the dog were extremely destructive, and under the flames, there were actually … three high-level shields!
Earth Shield, Fire Shield, and Wind Shield!
Three shields were stacked on top of each other, wrapping around its body tightly. How was this a f * cking dog? It was even tougher than the Earthen Giant Dragon!
