"What's going on?"
Su Ping sat up at once, surprised.
At the same time, an alarm was blaring outside the carriage.
That was the warning that the train was under attack!
Su Ping's eyes glowed. He immediately used his field of perception and sensed that some beasts were moving through the rock strata outside the train. They seemed to be advanced beasts.
"This train won't be damaged, right?"
Su Ping wasn't worried about his own safety. Rather, he was worried about the train.
If it was destroyed by the demonic beasts, his journey would be delayed.
Bang!!
All of a sudden, the entire carriage shook violently again as if something had bumped into it from the side. The carriage was thrown to the rock strata nearby. The airbags in the cracks of the carriage walls were ejected from the impact.
Su Ping reacted quickly. He stayed close to the wall so he wasn't hurt.
He used his consciousness to check but didn't see any beasts.
The collision just then was caused by the other carriages that were connected to it. The other carriages were being attacked by beasts!
Su Ping looked at the rock strata outside the window. The carriage had deviated from the track. With such a big fault, he could no longer be sent to the Holy Light Base City.
Damn it.
Killing intent flashed in Su Ping's eyes. He put the backpack into his storage space, opened the door, and walked out.
At this moment, the carriage was tilted. On the aisle outside, people in other rooms were also holding onto the boxes and staggering out. Some of them were ordinary people who were dressed in expensive clothes but had no aura of astral power. Their heads were bleeding, and some of them were naked except for a pair of underpants. Obviously, they had been sleeping.
"Help!"
"Someone help me."
"I have money. One million, no, five million. I'll pay anyone who can protect me!"
Some rich people held onto the door and wailed for help with their hands over their wounds.
If it were other hard seats, the material would not be as good, and there would be no air cushion. Ordinary people would most likely die from the impact. This was the reason why the rich were willing to spend more money to get a single compartment.
Who said that money couldn't buy lives?
Several advanced battle pet warriors approached them while the rich men were wailing.
As for those rich people who only cried for help but didn't offer any money, no one paid any attention to them.
Amid the chaos, Su Ping saw the unruly girl and the old man in the suit, as well as Ji Zhantang and his grandson. They were safe and sound. They were protected by astral powers. While the tremors were strong, any battle pet warrior above the intermediate rank would have been able to withstand it.
Unless he was asleep and defenseless.
Right then, a team of high-level attendants ran into the carriage. The middle-aged man in the lead said with a grave expression, "Stay in the carriage and don't go anywhere. Some titled battle pet warriors have gone to suppress the wild beasts. Don't leave the carriage without permission. You will have to bear the consequences if anything happens."
Titled battle pet warriors!
These three words were like a reassuring pill. Everyone who had been flustered and nervous earlier was slightly relieved at this moment.
"This is a special situation. Are there any advanced battle pet warriors among you? Please do something and take care of the others. I hope we can work together in this special time," the captain said.
At the same time, he glanced over the several advanced battle pet warriors in the crowd. In the end, he fixed his eyes on the old man in the suit and Ji Zhantang.
Both of them were master battle pet warriors. The captain could tell right away that even he felt pressured by the two.
Three advanced battle pet warriors stood up at once and said that they would take care of the people around them.
Of course, they would only take care of the others to a certain extent. For example, the tremors that happened just then would have been fatal for the average people but for the advanced battle pet warriors, they could easily take care of the others.
"If any of you need help, you can come to me."
Ji Zhantang said to the crowd.
With that said, Ji Zhantang noticed Su Ping and said to Su Ping, "Hey, come here."
Su Ping nodded but didn't go over.
He didn't need help so he didn't want to get involved.
Su Ping nodded because he was grateful.
Ji Zhantang was surprised that Su Ping didn't take any action but he didn't say anything.
Ji Qiuyu frowned. She wasn't happy. She thought Su Ping didn't know what was good for him.
As for the old man in the suit, he didn't pay attention to the captain's words. He looked around vigilantly. In his eyes, the only person he needed to protect was his young lady.
Right then, Su Ping suddenly sensed something.
"No!"
The old man in the suit turned pale.
At the same time, Ji Zhantang, who was surrounded by the others, turned pale as well. He put up an astral power shield to protect the people around him.
Boom!!
The entire carriage abruptly shook violently and once again violently collided with the rock wall outside the railway. The high strength glass, which was still intact after withstanding the previous shock, suddenly shattered under the impact at this moment!
At the same time, in the middle of the carriage, there was a loud noise. The hard metal suddenly caved in, forming the shape of a claw!
Everyone's pupils shrank when they saw this scene. Some of the ordinary people were so scared that their legs turned to jelly and their bodies trembled. Some of the more timid ones were so scared that they went limp and wet themselves. They held on tightly to the people around them.
The five train attendants didn't expect that they would be attacked by wild beasts as well. Frightened, they summoned their battle pets in a hurry. However, their battle pets were large in size. While the carriage wasn't small, it was a bit narrow for battle pets that were seven or eight meters tall.
Bang!!
The carriage was torn apart.
The ferocious face of a Demon Beast with a sharp horn on its head flashed past the torn gap. The next moment, a scorching stream of lava spurted in from the gap.
"That is …"
When the train attendants saw the demonic beast's face, their pupils shrank. They recognized that it seemed to be an eighth rank demonic beast, the Lava Python.
The Lava Python was a rare beast of the stone family. It had both defensive skills of the stone family and offensive skills of the fire family. The Lava Python was one of the more difficult beasts to deal with.
"Damn it!"
The captain summoned a battle pet of the stone family and told it to use its skill. A pile of dirt appeared in the carriage out of nowhere. The pile of dirt moved up like a pillar, trying to block the gap.
However, the pile of dirt exploded as soon as the hole was blocked. The lava gushed out from the pile of dirt.
Ji Zhantang's face changed. He put up his astral power shield again, turning it into a giant shield. The burning lava splashed onto the shield, creating ripples, but the lava did not penetrate it.
On the other side, a person who didn't have time to get close to Ji Zhantang had no one to protect him. He could only watch helplessly as the lava splashed out.
Just as he was about to be hit by the lava, the lava that passed by his body suddenly changed direction and flew past him, not hitting him.
At the moment, everyone's attention was focused on the beasts outside the gap. No one noticed that. That person was the only one who could not believe what he was seeing.
Su Ping darted him a look and looked away.
He sensed that several eighth-rank beasts were outside the carriage. A glint of coldness rose in his eyes.
"Senior Masters!"
The captain blamed himself for not being able to block the gap. He was relieved to see that no one was hurt. Then, he said to Ji Zhantang and the old man in the suit, "We will protect the others. Please help us stall those beasts. The titled battle pet warriors will be here soon."
The captain knew that it was the Lava Python. He knew that he couldn't stop the beasts by himself.
Following his words, the others also looked at the two old men.
Some of the passengers who had gotten on the train later didn't know who the two old men were. They only realized that the two old men were master battle pet warriors after hearing the captain's words. In the midst of despair, hope rose in the passengers' eyes.
Ji Zhantang nodded. "Take care of my granddaughter."
Ji Qiuyu was worried. "Grandpa."
"It's okay. I can handle it." Ji Zhantang smiled.
The old man in the suit pulled a long face and said nothing. He didn't answer the captain's question.
He had no obligation to help. If something happened to his young lady while he was away, that would be the end of the world for him!
The captain was anxious and helpless since the old man in the suit remained unmoved. But there was nothing else he could say. He hurried to Ji Zhantang's side and protected all the passengers with his battle pets. "Thank you for your help, sir." The captain thanked the old man gratefully.
"Of course, we have to help when the beasts are concerned."
Ji Zhantang chuckled, but his expression soon turned serious. Four swirls appeared around him and four gigantic beasts crawled out from them.
Two of them were of the element family, one was a battle pet, and the last one was a Long Chong.
The most valuable and the most powerful of the four was the Long Chong. The Long Chong was the most powerful of the four. It was at the upper position of the eighth rank.
