Chapter 221

The Heaven Pig was a low-rank beast with a third-rank bloodline. The Heaven Pig's appearance was pink, tender, and harmless.

Nourished by the spiritual energy in the nursing pen, the Heaven Pig had just reached the fourth rank. The Heaven Pig was still in a daze as soon as it landed on the ground. All of a sudden, it was woken up by several horrifying presences. The Heaven Pig squealed like a pig being slaughtered when it saw the Inferno Dragon fighting against the desert monster.

Neither the Inferno Dragon's dragon aura nor the desert monster that was even more horrifying was something the Heaven Pig couldn't handle.

The Heaven Pig was just a low-rank beast.

Whoosh!

The Heaven Pig turned around and ran as fast as it could.

Su Ping raised his eyebrows. He unleashed his killing intent. Thanks to the power of the contract, the killing intent was poured into the Heaven Pig's head in an instant.

The Heavenly Pig's limbs came to a halt. Its black eyes turned red. It turned around and stomped the ground with its pointy feet. Breathing heavily, the Heavenly Pig followed Su Ping's order and dashed toward the battlefield.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

The Heaven Pig's mind was filled with killing intent.

With a bang, the Heaven Pig was whipped on the ground, creating a ravine that was four to five meters wide and stirring up a cloud of dust.

Squeak!!

The Heaven Pig's killing intent came back to its senses at once.

The ferocious Heaven Pig retracted its fangs. Trembling, the Heaven Pig watched the battle in front of it. Its limbs felt weak. But after a moment of hesitation, the Heaven Pig turned around and dashed away again.

Su Ping was surprised.

The killing intent was … removed?

He was a little speechless. Wasn't this pig's courage a little too small?

Su Ping had no choice but to release another killing intent as the Golden Roc dashed away.

The Heaven Pig was once again activated by the killing intent. The Heaven Pig roared and dashed back into the battlefield.

Su Ping was still worried. When the Heaven Pig approached the battlefield, Su Ping used another killing intent on the Heaven Pig. Double Rampage!

This time, the Heaven Pig successfully made it to the battlefield. Then … it was crushed into mincemeat.

Su Ping revived the Heaven Pig on the spot and continued to use the killing intent. The Heaven Pig's attacks wouldn't affect the battle and it wouldn't be able to train the Heaven Pig. That being said, the Heaven Pig wasn't practicing its skills. The Heaven Pig's potential was being forced out, as well as its will and courage.

The Dark Dragon Hound and the Inferno Dragon he trained might be afraid of death, but they were cautious. Through countless battles and deaths, the Inferno Dragon and the Dark Dragon Hound had learned their ferocious side. It was just that they wouldn't expose it easily.

When forced into a desperate situation, they would have the courage to fight even against beast kings. They wouldn't just tremble in fear. They didn't run away even when they were facing the girl from the god race. That was courage!

Now that the Heavenly Pig was on the "right track," Su Ping focused most of his attention on the Inferno Dragon and the Dark Dragon Hound. Training the Heavenly Pig to an above-average aptitude in an advanced cultivation plane would be enough to complete his mission. For him, it wouldn't be difficult. If the Dark Dragon Hound, the Inferno Dragon, the Little Skeleton, and the Inferno Dragon could improve their aptitudes, that would be a great deal!

Whoosh!

The Little Skeleton flashed around in the air, attacking the weak points of the desert monster.

The Inferno Dragon and the Dark Dragon Hound had died more than a dozen times. The Little Skeleton, on the other hand, had been smashed several times but not once had it died. If the Little Skeleton wanted to run away, not even a beast king would be able to stop it.

"Undead Enslavement!"

Su Ping told the Little Skeleton to use Undead Enslavement when he saw the bones of other beasts on the ground.

Some of those bones were at the beast king level. Su Ping didn't know if the Little Skeleton could enslave them. But he had given the order and the Little Skeleton had always obeyed, regardless of the difficulty.

As expected.

At Su Ping's command, the Little Skeleton flashed to the side and appeared above a white skeleton that was over a hundred meters tall. Dense dark energy surged out from the Little Skeleton and spread out, gradually forming a dark cloud that shrouded the skeleton.

Under the cover of this dark cloud-like energy, the white bones on the ground began to tremble faintly.

Without the Little Skeleton to distract them, the Inferno Dragon and the Dark Dragon Hound died quickly. They couldn't stop the desert monster and they didn't even have the time to come back to life.

Su Ping had to jump down from the Purple Python's head and let it join the battle.

Without the Purple Python's protection, Su Ping had to keep an eye on the surroundings while commanding the battle.

After the Purple Python joined the battle, it was also killed instantly. In front of the desert monster, the Purple Python was no different from the Heavenly Fragrant Pig. They were both killed with one strike. The only difference was that the Purple Python needed two strikes to be killed, but that was only because the desert monster didn't attack it seriously.

For the Purple Python, the desert monster was an unbeatable beast. The strong sense of pressure made the Purple Python's scales tremble. The hormones inside the Purple Python's body were being secreted to maintain its peak state at all times.

The Purple Python's limit and potential were being squeezed out by the repeated deaths and resurrections.

On the other hand, the dark cloud above the Little Skeleton's head gradually drifted into the white skeleton on the ground. Gradually, the barren land began to tremble. The skeleton that was over a hundred meters tall slowly crawled up from the sand.

When its skeleton crawled out of the sand, a larger part of its body was revealed. It looked like a giant elephant beast, and its physique was extremely huge.

Roar!!

After crawling out of the sand, the giant skeleton suddenly roared at the Little Skeleton on top of its head, as if it was resisting.

The Little Skeleton's bones were trembling and red energy was seeping out. While the Little Skeleton was roaring, two balls of crimson flames appeared in its eye sockets. The Little Skeleton let out an even louder roar.

While the Little Skeleton was roaring, an illusionary shadow of a skeleton emerged from the void behind it, carrying with it a boundless pressure.

The skeleton on the ground trembled and suddenly fell to the ground. Its bones fell to the ground.

The other skeletons were still hanging on. Gradually, half of the Little Skeleton's body was reconstructed and the Little Skeleton crawled toward the desert monster.

Su Ping could tell that the Little Skeleton had reached its limit.

What surprised him was that the Little Skeleton was able to enslave that skeleton. Even though the Little Skeleton had only managed to enslave half of the skeleton's body, it was evident that the Little Skeleton was at the beast king level. The Little Skeleton's ability to enslave someone of a higher rank was impressive.

It should be noted that the Little Skeleton's real level was only at the sixth rank!

It was unbelievable that the Little Skeleton was able to enslave a beast king's body, three ranks higher than the seventh and eighth rank.

Of course, Su Ping could tell that the Little Skeleton had benefited from the Skeleton King's bloodline. The Skeleton King's bloodline was able to subdue the Skeleton King's bloodline.

"That's unbelievable!"

"But even though he's so heaven-defying, his aptitude is about to drop to the lowest grade. I wonder what kind of monsters those truly powerful Skeleton Kings were!"

Su Ping thought to himself, shocked.

As the giant skeleton joined the battle, the desert monster felt pressured by the Little Skeleton, as if it were facing a formidable enemy. The Little Skeleton had awakened the will and energy of the undead in the giant skeleton. The Little Skeleton could be regarded as half a beast king.

Roar!

The desert monster turned around and charged at the giant skeleton.

The Inferno Dragon came back to life and went after them with the Dark Dragon Hound.

The pets exerted their most powerful attacks, but they felt like scratching an itch on the desert monster. The pets were becoming anxious after seeing that their attacks were ineffective. They realized that their attacks were not strong enough.

In front of such a monster, even if they let them attack, they would not be able to do anything.

Roar!!

The Inferno Dragon roared. Its scales stood up. As a proud dragon, the Inferno Dragon had the dignity of a dragon. Enraged, the Inferno Dragon used up all the energy in its body and breathed out flames.

Whoosh!

The flames swept out like a column. That was the Inferno Fire, a fire seed at the beast king level. As the Inferno Dragon roared, the Inferno Fire that had been compressed to the extreme began to emit the aura of destruction of the real Inferno Fire.

The desert monster felt that. It rolled its huge eyes and looked at the Inferno Fire.

The Inferno Fire sprayed out and landed on the tail of the desert monster, burning it.

The Desert Monster covered the ground with sand, but the sand was also burned into lava. The temperature of the flames was terrifyingly high. They were like bones, firmly attached to the Desert Monster's tail.

The desert monster roared in anger as it was burned, and its crab claw pincers slammed the ground, causing the sand to tremble, and a powerful shockwave shot out.

Su Ping had seen this coming. He narrowed his eyes. He didn't have the time to tell his pets to dodge. He hurriedly lifted himself up into the air. A gust of sand swept across. The Inferno Dragon, the Dark Dragon Hound, and the other pets exploded, as if they had been cut in half at the waist. Blood gushed out and they fell to the ground.

But the Inferno Dragon Hound wasn't affected. Under the Little Skeleton's control, the skeleton was still waving its claws and fangs at the desert monster.

Su Ping breathed in relief. He brought his pets back to life and resumed the attack.

The Inferno Dragon's fire attack seems to be different. Su Ping noticed that the tail of the desert monster was still burning. He cast an identification spell on the Inferno Dragon.

Immediately, a new skill appeared under its Skill Pane.

— — Inferno Dragonflame (First Level)

Su Ping was surprised.

The "Inferno Fire" skill the Inferno Dragon had learned had been changed to "Inferno Dragonflame." One word had been changed and there was an additional "First Level" behind it. This had never happened to other skills.

What does this "First Level" mean? Can the skill be upgraded further?

Su Ping wondered.

He pondered for a while and threw this question to the System.

The system would never shy away from questions about pets. If it did, it would mean that it needed energy …

"All skills at the beast king level with growth potential will have a level. You will see that when your appraisal skill reaches the intermediate level," the system said calmly and added, "Do you want to upgrade your pet appraisal skill now?"
