Xie Yuexuan's pupils contracted. She hurried to set up an astral shield. At the same time, she waved her hand and released many strands of astral powers, trying to tie up the lizard.
However, her astral power chains were broken by the demonic scales on the lizard's body as soon as they wrapped around it. A mouthful of thick, dark green venom spurted out of the lizard's mouth and corroded the brilliant astral shield, leaving a hole in it.
She was doomed.
Xie Yuexuan stared at the incoming venom in despair.
Right at this moment —
Bang!
All of a sudden, she heard a loud noise. The ground under Xie Yuexuan's feet was shaking violently.
Before she could react, she felt her vision blurred. Something seemed to have thrown her off and she fell dozens of meters away. She opened her mouth in astonishment when she saw what was in front of her.
That was … the Inferno Dragon?!
She could not believe her eyes.
He actually saw an extremely rare and precious top-tier dragon beast here?!
Roar!!
The dragon's roar was deafening, pulling Xie Yuexuan's thoughts back to reality. She immediately saw the Jungle Poison Lizard trembling under the majestic dragon's roar. The dark green demonic scales on its body were shaking slightly, as if it was trembling.
The next moment, the Jungle Venomous Lizard turned around and ran. Its body instantly changed color and became the same as the surrounding weeds. In the blink of an eye, it burrowed into the grass and disappeared.
The Inferno Dragon didn't go after the lizard. Instead, it turned around to look at Xie Yuexuan.
Xie Yuexuan was still in shock. Before she could take a breath of relief, she saw the Inferno Dragon turn around. She had just escaped from the lizard's mouth and now she was in the dragon's mouth?
She felt sad.
Without strength, she was food in the Mysterious Realm.
Compared to the Inferno Dragon, she would rather have the Jungle Poisonous Lizard come back.
However, she was choked up when she remembered that she would not be able to escape death even if she had to face the Jungle Poisonous Lizard. But soon, she felt better. As the saying went, death could be as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai. She would rather die in the mouth of the famous Inferno Dragon than die in the mouth of an average eighth-rank beast. That was … a worthy death?
Pooh, pooh, pooh.
Xie Yuexuan stopped her wild thoughts. She was in despair and at the same time, she forced a bitter smile. She was about to die and yet she could still think of such nonsense. She was a weirdo.
She was ready to die. However, she suddenly realized that the Inferno Dragon didn't want to attack her. The Inferno Dragon was just standing there quietly and looking at her.
It didn't look at her … as if it was looking at something strange, up up up...
"When you're ready to sit beside me?" A calm voice sounded from behind.
Xie Yuexuan was startled.. she didn't know when, but she didn't know that... of a young man was sitting on top of the snake's head...
In this mystic realm, youthful faces like this were extremely rare. Most of them were the young masters of some large family clans. However, even though the young masters of these family clans were slightly more mature, being around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, their faces did not look like they were in their twenties. They still had the appearance of a teenager.
"Are you … a human?" Xie Yuexuan crawled up from the ground and looked at the young man nervously.
In the wilderness of the secret realm, seeing a young man sitting on the head of a giant snake gave him a strange feeling.
Su Ping lowered his head and looked at himself. "Do I not look like a human being?"
"Yes," Xie Yuexuan answered at once.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. He didn't bother to pursue the matter. "How dare you come to the Mysterious Realm with your strength? Do you think that natural death is too slow?"
Xie Yuexuan was speechless. Why did she feel that this guy was a sharp-tongued person?
Either way, she was quite lucky to have met a human companion. At this moment, she suddenly remembered the Inferno Dragon behind her. She came back to her senses and said in a hurry, "Let's go. That Inferno Dragon is hard to deal with."
"Are you talking about it?" Su Ping waved his hand. The Inferno Dragon hopped over to the Purple Python and squatted by its head. The Inferno Dragon was trying to please the Purple Python. Su Ping patted the Inferno Dragon's head and patted it as a reward.
Then, he opened up his contract space and put the Inferno Dragon away.
Xie Yuexuan stared blankly at the scene and blinked her eyes.
What is going on?
Is this Inferno Dragon … his pet?!!
Xie Yuexuan's mind was blank. She couldn't come back to her senses until Su Ping was about to leave. She went after him in a hurry. "Is this Inferno Dragon your pet?"
Su Ping threw her a strange look. "Isn't it obvious enough?"
Xie Yuexuan was speechless. It was obvious. Who else could put a beast into a contract space other than the pet's master?
She knew that she had asked an idiotic question. While she was speechless, she couldn't help but size up Su Ping. He was so young and he had an Inferno Dragon as a pet. What kind of background did he have?
Besides, she noticed that Su Ping was alone. He didn't have a team with him.
A single person dared to venture into this mystic realm. The family behind this person was too ambitious!
Weren't they afraid that someone like him would die here?
Xie Yuexuan was curious but she didn't ask directly. She didn't want to offend someone like Su Ping who she could rely on. "Can I go with you?"
Su Ping answered without looking back, "I'm leaving the Mysterious Realm."
"Is that so? I'm leaving the Mysterious Realm as well." Xie Yuexuan was overjoyed. She didn't expect that she would be going the same way.
"Go ahead. I'm not stopping you," Su Ping said.
Xie Yuexuan was speechless. How low must his EQ be to not understand what she meant? But she didn't dare to get angry. "Can you take me with you? I'll be quiet along the way."
Su Ping darted her a glance. Since he had saved her, it would be strange to leave her here. "Okay, come on. But I have to say this. If we run into any powerful beasts, I might leave you behind. Be prepared."
Xie Yuexuan was speechless again. She knew that was the truth but it was rare for someone to say it so bluntly. What was the point of being prepared? She would have to accept her fate.
Xie Yuexuan didn't say anything. She nodded and put away her Rock Tortoise. Then, she hopped onto the snake.
The Purple Python tilted its head and glared at Su Ping. The Purple Python was comforted by Su Ping's will. The Purple Python stuck out its tongue and moved on.
Xie Yuexuan climbed onto the snake's back and sat down next to Su Ping. "My savior, how should I address you?" she asked.
"Su Ping."
Xie Yuexuan remembered the name. She quickly searched her mind and didn't find any family with the surname Su in the Longjiang Base City. She believed that Su Ping was from another base city.
"My savior, you look very young."
"Isn't he still handsome?"
"… Yes."
At the moment, the Purple Python was moving fast. Xie Yuexuan had to use her astral powers to attach herself to the snake's body. At the same time, she put up an astral shield to protect herself from the wind.
Xie Yuexuan took a closer look at Su Ping. She had a feeling that there was something strange about this young man. He didn't have the indifference and sharpness that a young master from a major family should have. He was kind and peaceful. However, when Xie Yuexuan looked into Su Ping's eyes, she felt her heart was palpitating, as if her heart had been cut by a blade. But at a closer look, she noticed that Su Ping's eyes weren't sharp. They were calm.
As calm as an abyss.
Xie Yuexuan stopped looking at Su Ping's face for fear that he would notice. She looked around and soon noticed a Dark Dragon Hound in front of the Purple Python. "My savior, is that your pet as well?" she asked curiously.
"Yes."
"If I'm not mistaken … that's a Dark Dragon Hound, right?"
"Yes."
"Well, is that … a Dark Dragon Hound with a middle-rank bloodline?"
"Yes."
"… My savior, isn't this a bit too risky?"
Since Su Ping didn't seem to understand what she was implying, Xie Yuexuan had to explain herself. "Don't you have that Inferno Dragon? Why don't you let it guard us?" she whispered.
"It's enough for now," Su Ping answered.
"Enough … enough?" Xie Yuexuan didn't understand what Su Ping meant. What was enough for now?
Su Ping's indifference made Xie Yuexuan want to ask more questions. On the other hand, she was afraid that she would offend Su Ping. After all, Su Ping was her savior and she couldn't tell how strong he was. That Inferno Dragon alone was enough to defeat her. She had to rely on Su Ping to get out of this Mysterious Realm.
The two sat in silence.
The Dark Dragon Hound led the way. They avoided the territories of some ninth-rank beasts and went straight to the edge of the dragon scale land.
They ran into some eighth-rank beasts along the way. Before the Purple Python could do anything, the Dark Dragon Hound would roar and scare the beasts away.
Xie Yuexuan was shocked to see the Dark Dragon Hound intimidating some eighth-rank beasts. She found it hard to believe. How could a pet with a middle-rank bloodline scare away eighth-rank beasts?
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it.
Gradually, she began to understand what Su Ping meant when he said it was enough.
This was not an ordinary pet. It was a Dark Dragon Hound that had been trained to be horrifying!
She had a better understanding of Su Ping's strength. With the help of that mature Inferno Dragon, Xie Yuexuan believed that Su Ping was at least as strong as a beast at the intermediate position of the ninth-rank!
He was a rare talent to have such strength at such a young age!
She remembered Su Ping's name even more clearly.
Two hours later, they finally arrived at the edge of the dragon scale land.
Xie Yuexuan was finally able to relax after seeing the portal. She put on a smile and said to Su Ping, "Savior, can you give me your number so that I can repay you in the future?"
"Beat me up?"
"Yes, you can repay me …"
"How?"
"Well, as long as it's something I can do, I can do it."
"Will you pay me?"
"What?"
