Soon, more than half a day had passed.
All thirteen locations on the map had been explored, leaving only the core of the Great Secret Treasure area unexplored.
In total, they had found nine useful treasures from the 13 locations. Everyone in the team had one and there was one left over. Nie Chengkong took advantage of the situation and gave the treasure to Su Ping as a favor.
Su Ping didn't care about the treasure. It was the leftover treasure. It was a piece of trash for protection but it could only fend off attacks from average middle-rank beasts. For Su Ping, the treasure was meaningless. He would rather have the Solar Bulwark.
That being said, while the treasure was useless to him, he could sell it. He could easily sell it for millions. It just so happened that he was in need of money to upgrade his store. Therefore, he took the treasure.
The others didn't mind that Su Ping should have one more treasure. Su Ping's Dark Dragon Hound had demonstrated amazing scouting abilities along the way. If it weren't for the fact that this was the first time Su Ping had been there and that this area hadn't been explored, they would have suspected that Su Ping had been here before.
Thanks to the information provided by Su Ping, they had avoided many dangers. Every time they arrived at a location, Su Ping would be able to find out what was going on inside. The exploration went on smoothly. Su Ping had contributed the most.
Among the 13 locations, the most dangerous encounter was when they encountered a beast at the intermediate position of the ninth rank. However, thanks to Su Ping's scouting, they were prepared. With the help of many pets, they were able to kill the beast. It was just that Luo Guxue's Flare Bird was injured and lost its ability to fight in the end.
The treasures they found in this location were not as valuable as they had imagined. They were broken treasures that had lost their effectiveness. They didn't get the same result.
…
"That's the location of the core treasure." Nie Chengkong was excited. This was the moment he had been waiting for.
They looked over.
The location of the core treasure was a huge cave, like a tunnel. It was dark and bottomless.
A pungent smell was coming out from the cave, mixed with the smell of beasts' feces. It was obvious that some beasts had lived there.
"This is the end."
Everyone's eyes shone brightly. Once they obtained the secret treasures here, their goal would be accomplished.
Su Ping was also looking forward to it. After taking the Astral Spirit Fruit and leaving this place with everyone, he could continue to explore other dragon scale lands. He had a few places he wanted to go, but he did not know if the secret treasures there had been taken.
"My Hundred-eyed Eagle can't probe inside," Zhou Jing said. All he could do was let his Hundred-eyed Eagle fly into the sky and monitor the surroundings.
Everyone turned to look at Su Ping. Previously, it was Su Ping who had scouted out the locations of the secret treasures.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Su Ping didn't hide anything. He just wanted to get this over with as soon as possible. He said, "The demonic beast that lives here is an upper ninth-rank dragon, the Flame Scale Blood Flood Dragon. It has extremely strong destructive power and is good at devouring.
God Attack! "
"Upper Ninth Level?!"
Everyone was stunned, their faces changed color as they looked at Su Ping in shock.
Nie Chengkong turned pale as well. He stared at Su Ping and asked, "Are you sure about that?"
The higher the rank was, the greater the gap between each rank. At the ninth rank, the gap between one rank was like the gap between the ninth rank and the eighth rank. It was difficult to overcome! A beast at the upper position of the ninth rank could easily crush over a hundred beasts at the intermediate position of the ninth rank!
They were not at the same level at all!
Besides, the Flame Scale Blood Flood Dragon was a kind of dragon. Even among beasts at the upper position of the ninth rank, the Flame Scale Blood Flood Dragon was powerful!
Master Mo and Master Chen looked at Su Ping and then at Nie Chengkong. Su Ping's story was shocking but they did not doubt Su Ping's words. The only thing they were worried about was Nie Chengkong's decision.
Nie Chengkong's goal was to get that core treasure.
Would he be willing to give it up?
"Captain Nie …" Master Mo was hesitating. He wanted to persuade Nie Chengkong.
His Death Scythe was only at the lower position of the ninth rank. It had suffered some minor injuries during the battles. Also, it had been infected by the Hell Spiders of Black Flame. It had yet to recover and its abilities had been hindered. If the Death Scythe were at the intermediate position of the ninth rank, they might be able to kill it if they worked together. However, the Death Scythe was at the upper position of the ninth rank.
Master Chen was thinking about leaving as well. His Earthen Dragon had a bloodline at the upper position of the ninth rank but it was only at the intermediate position. It had not reached the peak. Besides, the Earthen Dragon was not good at attacking. It was only good at defense. If Su Ping and the others were defeated, Master Chen's defense would only delay his death. Master Chen did not want to take that risk.
Nie Chengkong lowered his head. His face was clouded.
He could not see the others' expressions but he could tell what Master Mo and Master Chen were thinking.
Nie Chengkong could tell that Guo Yuelin, Zhou Jing, and the other senior members were uneasy. They wanted to leave more than Master Mo.
"How about … we give it a try?" Nie Chengkong clenched his fists and made up his mind.
Master Mo and Master Chen's hearts sank when they heard Nie Chengkong's words. They knew Nie Chengkong was still unwilling to give up.
Master Mo sighed. When he accepted Nie Chengkong's request, he had promised to help Nie Chengkong retrieve the core treasure. They would fight until the end. If Master Mo gave up now, he would offend Nie Chengkong and lose his reputation. No one would dare to ask him for help in the future.
Master Chen sighed as well. He even regretted accepting the request.
Nie Chengkong looked up. He saw the complicated expressions on their faces. Nie Chengkong curled his lips but said nothing. He turned to Su Ping. All of a sudden, Nie Chengkong noticed that Su Ping, the youngest and most talented among them, was the calmest. There was no sign that he was going to give up.
Nie Chengkong's eyes glowed. He asked Su Ping, "Brother SU, will you go with me?"
Su Ping was surprised. "Didn't we agree at the beginning?"
Nie Chengkong felt a surge of warmth in his chest. He took a deep breath and said, "Good brother!"
No one expected that Su Ping would be willing to take the risk with Nie Chengkong when facing a beast at the upper position of the ninth rank. After all, even if the core treasure was retrieved, it would not belong to Su Ping. It would belong to Nie Chengkong.
Master Mo and Master Chen were not the only ones who found it hard to understand. Zhou Jing and the other senior team members had mixed feelings as well. They didn't know if they should say that Su Ping was simple and kind or that he was a man of his word. Either way, they could tell that Su Ping was a man worth befriending.
"Okay. Since Brother SU has said so, let's take the risk." Master Chen knew that there was no turning back. He went with the flow.
Master Mo secretly praised Master Chen for being cunning. Still, he said, "Let's give it a try. But we must have a detailed plan. Also, if you have any other pets, please call them out. This is the last battle!"
Nie Chengkong was relieved to see that everyone had agreed to take the risk. Without another word, he opened up the space. A surge of ferocious energy came out. From the space crawled out a Bloodthirsty Snake!
This was a beast with a bloodline at the intermediate position of the ninth rank, and it was at the peak of the ninth-rank. Its body was over one hundred meters long and as thick as a train. Its scales were crimson. This was a beast that was extremely violent and difficult to tame.
Nie Chengkong had reached the limit of his ability to control this beast at the intermediate position of the ninth rank when he was at the eighth rank.
Usually, battle pet warriors could only summon beasts that were two ranks higher than them. However, this was an exception for beasts of the ninth rank. Every rank of the ninth rank was equal to a rank.
Old Mo and Chen were taken aback by the sight of the Bloodthirsty Snake. Apart from the Fallen Priest, which was at the lower position of the ninth rank, Nie Chengkong also had a Bloodthirsty Snake at the intermediate position of the ninth rank. He had two pets of the ninth rank. How powerful!
Zhou Jing and the other team members darted a glance at the Bloodthirsty Snake with fear. They were not surprised. They knew something about Nie Chengkong's battle pets. After all, they used to fight together.
Master Mo heaved a sigh. Without hesitation, he opened up his own space. A Blood Flood Dragon at the peak of the eighth-rank jumped out.
This was a hybrid with the bloodline of a Beast King. It had only inherited part of the Beast King's body and appearance. It did not have the size and energy of a Beast King. That being said, it was ferocious and bloodthirsty. Not even some beasts at the lower position of the ninth rank would dare to provoke it.
Master Chen summoned his second battle pet as well. It was an Extreme Flame Mage at the lower position of the ninth rank. It was a good match for Master Chen's Earthen Dragon. One for defense and the other for offense.
Zhou Jing and the others didn't know that Master Chen and Master Chen had kept such powerful battle pets. Their confidence was boosted.
The three of them turned to Su Ping after they summoned their second battle pets.
The Dark Dragon Hound was Su Ping's secondary battle pet. Naturally, his primary battle pet would be more powerful.
Su Ping didn't hesitate. He had to go all out to deal with beasts at the upper position of the ninth rank.
When the summoning space was opened up, a surge of energy that made people tremble slowly came out. Everyone's battle pets were getting restless.
The temperature was rising rapidly. The Inferno Dragon crawled out from the summoning space. The Inferno Dragon was over ten meters long. It was not as large as the Bloodthirsty Snake and the Blood Flood Dragon. However, the Inferno Dragon was more intimidating than the two battle pets.
"Inferno … Dragon?!!"
Apart from Luo Guxue, who had been prepared for this, the others almost popped their eyes out of their sockets when they saw the appearance of this battle pet.
The Inferno Dragon was one of the best dragons. It was already costly to get a dragon with a ninth-rank bloodline, not to mention an Inferno Dragon of the best kind!
Master Chen's Earthen Dragon trembled the moment the Inferno Dragon came out. It had been standing proudly and proudly, but all of a sudden, the Earthen Dragon shrank its wings. The Earthen Dragon was frightened by the presence of the Inferno Dragon.
If it weren't for the fact that the Earthen Dragon was at the intermediate position of the ninth rank and could barely resist the dragon aura, the Earthen Dragon would have prostrated itself before the Inferno Dragon.
