The green antidote was injected into the Sickle Guardian's arm. The edema on its arm was reduced a bit. However, the tissue inside was still suppurated. There was no sign of improvement.
Master Mo pulled a long face. He didn't know that the Hellfire Spider's poison was so strong that even the Sickle Guardian, a ninth-rank beast, could not withstand it.
The others were getting more and more nervous. They had realized that the Hellfire Spider's poison was not to be underestimated.
On the other hand, the Dark Dragon Hound was still alive and kicking. It was looking for food among the Hellfire Spider's dead body.
Nie Chengkong looked at the Dark Dragon Hound and then at Su Ping. "Brother SU, I think your Dark Dragon Hound is quite resistant to poison."
Su Ping nodded. The Dark Dragon Hound was immune to all the poison-related beasts on the dragon scale land.
Of course, the Inferno Dragon and the Purple Python were no exception.
Naturally, the Dark Dragon Hound had to adapt to such a level of resistance after being immersed in the poison with death.
Adaptation was evolution.
The Dark Dragon Hound's combat strength didn't increase and its species didn't evolve in appearance. However, the internal structure of the Dark Dragon Hound was evolving rapidly all the time!
That was when the Dark Dragon Hound's evolved resistance could be seen. That was an internal evolution that was not only an increase in combat strength, but also included in the assessment of their aptitude.
Nie Chengkong and the others looked at the Dark Dragon Hound since Su Ping had admitted it. There was a trace of curiosity and greed in their eyes.
Usually, they wouldn't bother to sign a contract with a Dark Dragon Hound even if the Dark Dragon Hound was given to them for free. After all, middle-rank pets were no longer useful to them. Besides, they would occupy a mental space.
But this Dark Dragon Hound was different. Not only was it strong and talented, it was also resistant to poison. The Dark Dragon Hound was the best of the best, a rare beast. It was as valuable as the average ninth-rank beasts, if not more!
From the bottom of their hearts, they were envious of Su Ping for being able to get such a rare pet.
Luo Guxue was the only one who had a vague idea that the Dark Dragon Hound had been trained in Su Ping's store. Naturally, there were some exotic pets out there. But the Dark Dragon Hound was rare.
Besides, if such a pet were to be put up for auction, the auctioneer would have spread the word and the others would have heard about it. Su Ping wouldn't be able to pick it up without alerting anyone.
The only regrettable thing was that the Dark Dragon Hound only had a middle-rank bloodline. If the Dark Dragon Hound had a high-rank bloodline, the Dark Dragon Hound would be worth a fortune. Many titled battle pet warriors who had been in seclusion for a long time would be envious!
"Although this antidote can't cure the poison, it can still suppress the spread of the poison. Let's go." Elder Hiroshi said with a gloomy face. He did not want the crowd to look at the Guardian Scythe's wound, as he felt humiliated.
Nie Chengkong breathed in relief. "Then, let's go and get the treasures."
Everyone's eyes glowed at the mention of treasures.
With Guo Yuelin and Zhou Jing leading the way, they soon reached the depths of the valley. A tunnel-like cave had been dug out from the walls of the valley. They went in. Luo Guxue used her Flame Bird to light up the cave.
The cave was filled with spider webs. That was where the Hell Spiders lived. But there were no more Hell Spiders. All of them had died in the previous battle.
The cave was empty. Finally, they found the treasures they had been looking forward to.
The treasures were stuck into the wall in the deepest part of the cave. It was a sword. The sword was emitting a faint surge of energy. This was a treasure from the ancient times, not something that could be created with modern technology.
Treasures had miraculous effects. They could resonate with the battle pet warriors' astral powers and could be controlled by astral powers. Many treasures and weapons were far more destructive and magical than those made of titanium alloys.
Titanium alloys were hard and sharp. However, they lacked the miraculous effects of treasures. That was something that technology could not replicate.
"Is there … a trap here?"
They stood in front of the treasures and looked around nervously.
It was said that apart from the beasts guarding the treasures, there were traps everywhere.
Su Ping was speechless after hearing Guo Yuelin's nervous words. He noticed that Nie Chengkong, Mr. Chen, and the others were also looking around with grave expressions. They seemed to be convinced that there was indeed a trap.
Su Ping didn't know what to say. He didn't stop. He went over and pulled out the sword.
Su Ping stepped forward. The others shouted, "No —"
Before they could finish, the sword had been pulled out. Everyone was petrified.
Nie Chengkong was the first to come back to his senses. He looked around to make sure that no traps had been triggered. Finally, he was relieved. He said to Su Ping, "You are being too rash. What if there is a trap? How dangerous would that be?"
Su Ping didn't argue. Nie Chengkong was concerned about his safety. Su Ping didn't know what to say.
All the treasures on the dragon scale lands were the treasures that the old dragon king left behind before it died. The beasts were guarding the treasures just to make it more difficult for the legacy to be passed down.
Dragons were simple and crude creatures. It was already the best that they could come up with. How could they know how to set up traps?
Besides, the sword probably wasn't in the cave at the beginning. The Hell Spiders of Black Flame had moved it here and the sword was stuck in a rock by accident.
It was possible that the next treasure was buried in the feces of the beasts guarding the place.
Of course, if that were the case, Su Ping wouldn't have chosen to be the one to take the treasure.
Su Ping wielded the sword. He felt that it was similar to the illusions in the land of legacy. The illusions there were very realistic.
Su Ping turned around and asked, "Which one of you wants it?"
Nie Chengkong was surprised. Su Ping didn't even check the sword carefully. Why did he give it up?
The others were surprised as well. Su Ping had the right to choose first. Why would he give up on the treasure?
That being said, they didn't say anything. Maybe, Su Ping didn't like swords.
"Let me have a look," Master Mo said.
Su Ping gave him the sword.
Master Mo took the sword and poured astral powers into it. Suddenly, the sword emitted a streak of white light that was visible to the naked eye.
Master Mo raised his eyebrows. He slashed the sword at the ground. Crack! A crack appeared on the ground. The sword cut through the ground as easily as cutting through tofu!
"So sharp!" Master Mo exclaimed. Without hesitation, he said, "Captain Nie, I'll take the sword."
The others had seen how sharp and horrifying the sword was. It was not an exaggeration to say that the sword could cut through iron as if it were mud. The sword could cut through the scales of beasts of the eighth or ninth rank. A treasure like that was valuable enough.
They couldn't help but feel sorry for Su Ping since he had given up first.
Master Mo was pleased with himself. He wielded the sword and found it hard to put it down. At the same time, he cast a sidelong glance at Su Ping. Su Ping was too young. He had lost such a good treasure.
Master Mo didn't know what kind of treasures were waiting for him. That being said, he was satisfied with this one. After all, who could tell what they would find later? Maybe, there would be some useless treasures. Or maybe, some low-level treasures with weak effects.
Chen felt sorry. If Master Mo didn't want the sword, he would have wanted it.
Nie Chengkong looked at the sword. His eyes flickered but he didn't say anything. "Since we have the treasure, let's go."
Guo Yuelin looked at Master Mo with envy. "Master Mo, can I have a look?"
Master Mo was happy to have picked up a treasure. "Of course," he said. With that said, he gave the sword to Guo Yuelin and let her have a look. The sword belonged to him anyway. He didn't have to worry about others taking it away from him.
Guo Yuelin took the sword over happily. Zhou Jing went over as well. Ye Chenshan and Luo Guxue took turns to look at the sword. Ye Chenshan even used his Ash Lizard to build a Shield of Earth to test the sword. The result was stunning. The Ash Lizard's Shield of Earth was cut open as if it were a piece of wood!
Seeing this, the smile on Elder Hiroshi's face grew wider.
"That is so powerful. I don't think even ninth-rank beasts would have the courage to take a hit like that!" Ye Chenshan exclaimed.
The others looked at Master Mo with envy.
Nie Chengkong didn't show much of a reaction. He only smiled. After the others had finished looking, he urged them to check the surroundings to see if they had missed anything. After making sure that there were no other treasures, he led the team out of the cave.
Su Ping didn't know that a shabby sword could make them so happy. While he was surprised, he wondered if his vision had been pushed too high by the system …
After leaving the valley that was full of corpses, they followed Nie Chengkong to the next location.
Su Ping didn't hide anything along the way. Using the Dark Dragon Hound's senses, he pointed out some places where beasts might be hiding. That helped the team avoid many dangers and saved them a lot of time.
Master Mo had been outclassed by Su Ping when it came to scouting after he got the sword. That being said, Master Mo wasn't upset.
He didn't want to compete with Su Ping in this aspect. As a matter of fact, after the fight in the Hell Spiders' valley, Master Mo had learned that his Earth Fire Sound was not as good as Su Ping's Dark Dragon Hound in some aspects.
After all, the Earth Fire Sound couldn't detect the presence of Hell Spiders in the valley. What was more, the Earth Fire Sound could tell the specific level and strength of the spiders. That was no longer scouting. It was an intelligent full-body scan!
Trying to compete with such a monster would be asking for trouble. Master Mo was relieved.
Along the way, they killed several seventh-rank beasts and a small group of eighth-rank beasts. Soon, they arrived at the second location.
With Su Ping's guidance, the second Mysterious Realm was created. The difficulty level was similar to the one in the Hell Spiders' valley. The treasure inside was a broken piece of armor. It had been there for so long that the beasts had ruined it.
Of course, Su Ping didn't want it and so did the muscular man named Chen. The others weren't interested. The armor had to be confiscated for the time being. When they got back, they would calculate the merit points and then share it with everyone.
