Chapter 222

"How many energy points?"

"Ten thousand."

Su Ping was intrigued. That wasn't expensive. Still, he didn't know how many times he would die in the advanced cultivation site. He'd better save the energy points in case he couldn't come back to life after he died. That would be the end of him.

"We'll talk about it later," Su Ping said. He needed the appraisal skill but he wasn't in urgent need of it.

The system didn't say anything else.

Su Ping turned his attention back to the battlefield. After the Inferno Dragon used the Inferno Dragonfire, the flames around it had dissipated. The Inferno Dragon was extremely weak.

That must be the side effect of the skill.

After all, the Inferno Dragon had just reached the seventh-rank. Using a skill at the beast king level was already too much for the Inferno Dragon. If it weren't for the fact that the Inferno Dragon's constitution was much different from the average Inferno Dragon's, it would have exploded on the spot.

Su Ping told the Inferno Dragon to charge at the desert monster, seeking its own death.

The desert monster fulfilled the Inferno Dragon's request at once. Several sharp bone spurs shot out from its body and pierced through the Inferno Dragon's body.

Su Ping brought the Inferno Dragon back to life and told it to use the Inferno Dragonfire again.

After all, he had just learned that skill. He had to consolidate and practice it. Besides, Su Ping wanted to keep the Inferno Dragon in this extreme state so that he could squeeze out more of its potential.

"The Inferno Dragon's aptitude is above average. I didn't expect that it would still be above average …" Su Ping was surprised to see the Inferno Dragon's aptitude.

The Inferno Dragon was at the seventh-rank and the Inferno Dragonfire that it had just learned was enough to intimidate beasts at the peak of the ninth-rank. The Inferno Dragon's combat strength was only above average. If the Inferno Dragon wanted to be above average, it would have to be able to intimidate beast kings!

But was that even possible?

Su Ping found it hard to imagine.

Su Ping observed the Inferno Dragon for a while longer. Based on the Inferno Dragon's current state and the accumulated energy in its body, the Inferno Dragon would reach its limit after using the Inferno Dragonfire. The Inferno Dragon would collapse immediately and its combat strength would plummet.

The Inferno Dragonfire was the ultimate skill.

This ultimate skill wasn't meant to kill the Inferno Dragon in one hit. The Inferno Dragon would attach itself to the desert monster and burn it, inflicting corrosive damage. However, the damage would be sustained over time. The longer the Inferno Dragon used the Inferno Dragon, the greater the damage would be.

In a real battle, the sustained damage would not be as impressive as the direct damage.

If the Inferno Dragon were to encounter a beast at the peak of the ninth-rank, the Inferno Dragon would be able to injure the beast with the Inferno Dragonfire. However, the beast would be able to kill the Inferno Dragon at the risk of being wounded!

This wasn't a skill that could end the battle in one strike!

Su Ping felt it was a pity. But on second thought, he understood. The sustained damage wouldn't be able to end the battle in one strike. However, if the Inferno Dragon could improve its combat strength in the future, it would be able to use this skill at will. That would be a disaster for any enemy.

No wonder the Inferno Dragonfire was a skill that could grow. It had more potential than a direct attack!

Su Ping was satisfied. He had just arrived and the Inferno Dragon had grown to such an extent. That was a pleasant surprise.

He turned to the Dark Dragon Hound, the Purple Python, and the pink Tianxiang Pig. It was time for them to work harder.

All of a sudden, the three pets felt a chill down their spines, as if they were being stared at by something horrifying.

The battle went on.

The desert monster angrily roared as it smashed the giant skeleton to pieces. The Infernal Dragonflame also touched its body in seven or eight places, and it continued to burn. The sand it rolled out of the ground and touched the Infernal Dragonflame. It soon turned into liquid that flowed through the cracks of its body, causing even more pain.

Su Ping commanded the pets to fight in an orderly manner. Time and time again, they died.

Ten minutes later, the desert monster suddenly bellowed and forced the pets to step back. The Inferno Dragonfire dashed into the sand. It had chosen to run away!

Su Ping was surprised. He didn't expect that a beast king would run away!

The pets hurried to the pit that the Inferno Dragonfire had run away, but the sand had already buried the beast king.

Su Ping blinked. He found it hard to believe that he had managed to force a beast king to retreat!

Of course, he knew that he had to rely on the system's infinite resurrection. Otherwise, he would have died over a hundred times.

"I think the Inferno Dragonfire is quite intelligent. It must have been driven away by my shameless fighting style." Su Ping forced a bitter smile. It was a pity that such a good sparring partner had left. He would have to find another "partner."

Su Ping hopped onto the Purple Python's head and set off again.

The Little Skeleton flashed to Su Ping. The dark energy around it was extremely weak. Controlling the beast king's skeleton had taken a toll on the Little Skeleton. The Little Skeleton sat on the Purple Python's head and lay down. The Little Skeleton's bones were scattered all over the place. This was how the Little Skeleton rested.

Su Ping patted the Little Skeleton's skull and gazed at the boundless desert in front of them.

Not long after.

The Dark Dragon Hound was the first to be ambushed again.

The sense of smell that the Dark Dragon Hound was so proud of had failed again. The Dark Dragon Hound failed to detect the enemy's ambush.

This time, the beast was even more horrifying. Not only did the beast attack the Dark Dragon Hound, but it also pierced through the Inferno Dragon that was dozens of meters behind the Dark Dragon Hound. Two kills!

Su Ping was still far away, but he could still feel a dangerous aura locked onto him.

Whoosh!

Su Ping jumped off the Purple Python's head and flew into the air. With a bang, the Purple Python on the ground was torn apart the moment he flew up. A sharp white bone cut through the Purple Python's abdomen.

Su Ping's pupils contracted. The Purple Python and the Dark Dragon Hound were two to three hundred meters away from each other. How was the beast able to reach them in an instant?

Floating in the air, Su Ping saw a huge centipede-like creature emerge from the sand. The centipede-like creature had sharp bone blades all over its body. It was tearing apart several pets and swallowing them.

Su Ping brought them back to life and continued the fight.

However, they were killed again and again before they could release their skills.

Su Ping had to force himself to come back to life again and again. On the eighth time, Su Ping suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, as if a scream of a special frequency was piercing through his mind.

Bang!

Su Ping staggered and fell on the sand.

The next second, Su Ping regained consciousness and a revival option popped up in front of him.

Su Ping recalled what had just happened. After a moment of hesitation, he chose to revive at a random location.

He believed that he would still be killed if he chose to revive on the spot. The difference in strength was too great. There was no room for him to practice.

When he came back to life again, Su Ping saw that he was in a cave in darkness.

Before he could see clearly, he suddenly heard the wriggling sound of a reptile's limbs. Then, his body suddenly felt a sharp pain, and his consciousness dimmed.

The revival option popped up in front of him again.

"F * ck me …"

Su Ping's heart ached.

120 energy points were gone just like that.

He had gotten used to the unlimited number of revivals provided by the system. But now, it was his turn to spend energy. Only then did he realize how painful it was!

"God, god …"

Su Ping prayed for a while before he chose to revive at a random location.

This time, as soon as Su Ping opened his eyes, he heard people whispering to each other. But the whispers soon died down.

Su Ping looked around, only to find that he was standing in a dimly lit room, surrounded by seven or eight giants. All of them were four or five meters tall, with blond hair and divine energy flowing in them.

At the moment, they were all staring at Su Ping, their eyes wide open and their faces filled with astonishment.

"Well …" Su Ping was dumbfounded.

Looking at the situation, it was clear that these people had been talking about something and were interrupted by his random resurrection.
