Su Ping didn't want to leave, partly because of the store and partly because he didn't want to see the Longjiang Base City fall!
Maybe he could go to another base city and live there.
However, every base city had a different feel. Take the Holy Light Base City as an example. It was prosperous and the streets were clean, but he didn't feel nostalgic at all.
Home was the only and irreplaceable place!
"Mr. Su, why?" Xie Jinshui found it hard to understand Su Ping. Not even the legendary battle pet warriors from the Tower had the courage to go there.
Was it worth it?
"Do I need a reason?" Su Ping asked.
The others stared at him, still in a daze.
Did he need a reason?
Didn't he?!
They thought Su Ping had lost his mind, but the young man had never been so serious and calm.
He would rather die than stay?
No one said a word.
"Mr. Su, since you are willing to stay, then I, Zhou Tianlin, am more than happy to oblige!" Zhou Tianlin said all of a sudden. He took a deep breath.
When he said this, everyone looked at him in shock.
No one had expected that the Zhou family would be so bold!
Was it because of Su Ping?
But, without the Tower's help, there was no need to curry favor with Su Ping, even if the Zhou family wanted to!
They were going to bury the entire Zhou family with Su Ping and the Longjiang Base City!
Everyone looked at Zhou Tianlin. They immediately saw something else from this man's face. It was definitely not the usual flattery and laughter.
Qin Duhuang shook his head and smiled. "The Qin Family has been in the Longjiang Base City for hundreds of years. My ancestors have been in the Longjiang Base City since then. Their bones are still in the tombs … I really don't want to leave. The Qin Family will stay as well. But I will send some women and children out of the base city, leaving behind a seed of hope."
Seeing the faint smile on the old man's face, the others narrowed their eyes.
Zhou Tianlin also smiled and patted Qin Duhuang's shoulder. "Old Qin, let's have a competition this time. Let's see who can kill more Demonic Beasts. I've long wanted to compete with you, you old fox!"
Qin Duhuang didn't mind his actions. He smiled and said, "I'm happy to accompany you, but you're still a generation too young. I won't go easy on you!"
"Haha!" Zhou Tianlin laughed.
"You …" Mu Beihai stared at them. "Are you out of your mind? Mr. Su has legendary battle pet warriors to protect him. If he wants to leave, he can do so at any time. But if you stay, the beast kings alone can kill you, not to mention the fact that the Otherworld Heavenly King can come at any time!"
Qin Duhuang glanced at him and smiled. "Maybe he's crazy. Since Mr. Su is willing to stay, we're willing to accompany him and go crazy!"
"Go crazy!"
The family head of the Ye family said all of a sudden. The complicated look on his face disappeared. He laughed out loud. "I've always been proud of myself and I always thought that the Ye family was the most courageous family. I didn't know that Tianlin would be the most courageous one in the face of danger. Truth be told, I used to look down on you. But today, I'm willing to admit that the Zhou family is a match for the Ye family!"
"Go to hell. I don't care about the Ye family. The Zhou family is the fifth most powerful family but we only care about the old Qin Family!" Zhou Tianlin said grumpily.
Qin Duhuang smiled.
"You're crazy!" Mu Beihai was enraged by the fact that the family head of the Ye family was willing to stay. He glared at the three of them who were still talking and laughing. "Do you know what the consequences are if you stay? The three major families will cease to exist! Do you think it's worth it when the odds are against you?! "
"We won't know until we do it." Qin Duhuang stared at him. "The Qin Family is the most powerful family in the Longjiang Base City! Everyone knows that the Qin Family exists in the Longjiang Base City!
"Even if we have to leave, the Qin Family will be the last to leave!"
Mu Beihai glared at him. However, Qin Duhuang was calm and determined. Mu Beihai clenched his fists and punched them.
"I don't care how crazy you are. The Mu family is not going to play along with you!" Mu Beihai bit his teeth.
Then, he remembered something. He darted a look at Su Ping. "Mr. Su, it's not that I don't want to give you face, but I hope you can understand!"
Su Ping didn't change his mind. "Don't worry about it. It's none of my business whether you want to leave or stay. I won't judge you because of that!
I'm staying because I want to and I won't force you to do that. You're a big family with a big business. If I were you, I would probably leave as well. So, don't feel embarrassed. "
Mu Beihai was relieved to hear Su Ping's words. He darted a look at Qin Duhuang and the other two, but said nothing.
Qin Duhuang and Zhou Tianlin didn't seem surprised. They didn't stay because of Su Ping. They were touched by Su Ping's decision to stay, but they had made the decision from the bottom of their hearts. They would stay even if Su Ping had to leave!
Yes, they might die.
It would be like an egg hitting a rock!
But they were in the Longjiang Base City!
They wouldn't find it interesting to leave and go somewhere else.
That wasn't their "home"!
That being said, they wouldn't leave everyone in the family behind. They would only leave a part of the family behind. After all, their family would be wiped out if they left everyone behind!
"I'm sorry. The Liu family doesn't have any warriors left. We have to stay and fight," Liu Tianzong said apologetically.
Everyone glanced at him but didn't say anything.
They were willing to stay. They couldn't stop anyone who wanted to leave.
Xie Jinshui remained silent.
By the time everyone was done speaking and had nothing else to say, they all looked at him. Xie Jinshui was still silent.
"Xie, what's your plan?" Qin Duhuang asked with a frown.
Xie Jinshui raised his head slowly. He looked at them and then at Su Ping. In the end, he said in a low voice, "I think we should move."
Qin Duhuang and the others didn't know what to say.
Xie Jinshui lowered his head. "I'm sorry. As a mayor, I can't ask everyone to stay. This is a pointless battle. I hope we can evacuate some people, especially the women and children. They can live in other base cities and pass on the bloodline of the Longjiang Base City. As for myself … I will stay and fight with you until the very end!"
Everyone's expression changed slightly.
Qin Duhuang took a deep breath. "Xie, you don't have to apologize to us. You're doing the right thing."
"Yes, the bloodline of the Longjiang Base City cannot be lost!"
"Even if the Longjiang Base City is destroyed, many years later, people will still remember that there was a city called the Longjiang Base City!"
Xie Jinshui continued, "I'm sorry. I'm not a good mayor. If, if only I could have invited legendary battle pet warriors from the Tower. If only I could have persuaded them to come …"
"Xie, don't think too much. This has nothing to do with you. This is the fate of the Longjiang Base City." Qin Duhuang patted Xie Jinshui's shoulder and heaved a sigh.
Zhou Tianlin added, "That's right. It's better to rely on yourself than on others. So what if legendary battle pet warriors don't come? I've never fought a beast king before. This is a good chance!"
The Ye family head darted a glance at him. He didn't know that the Zhou family head was so similar to him in temperament.
The Ye family head liked Zhou Tianlin even more. He felt that he shouldn't have targeted the Zhou family in the past. He should have done more to the Liu family and the Mu family.
Mu Beihai pulled a long face and said to Xie Jinshui, "Xie, there's no point in talking about this now. Since we're going to move, let's talk about how to do it. We won't be able to leave if the wild beasts surround us!"
"That's right." Liu Tianzong nodded.
Xie Jinshui took a deep breath and nodded. "Yes, we have to hurry. I have a plan. Let me tell you about it."
"Okay."
Soon, Xie Jinshui told them about the relocation plan. Mu Beihai and Liu Tianzong added their own ideas. Those from the Qin Family, the Zhou Family, and the Ye Family who were willing to stay were going to move as well. The old, weak, and cowardly members of their families were of no use to them. They had to move so that their families would have a ray of hope.
There was also money and treasures.
Su Ping listened while they discussed. At the same time, he was thinking about something else.
When the discussion was over, everyone went their separate ways. The five family heads had their own tasks to complete. As for Su Ping, Xie Jinshui didn't give any instructions to Su Ping. Since Su Ping had chosen to stay, the relocation had nothing to do with him. Xie Jinshui wouldn't ask Su Ping to help with the relocation.
…
Back in the store.
Su Ping pulled up the interface and looked at the energy points. He had spent three million energy points to breed the three pets. He sold two of the pets and earned back some of his money. Adding the energy points he earned later, he had over seven million energy points.
He could upgrade the store if he could earn another three million.
Of course, upgrading the store wouldn't solve the problem at hand.
I can have the Swamp War Crocodile protect one side, the Dark Dragon Hound another, and I'll take care of the other side. I'll leave the other side to the Qin Family and the Zhou Family. But if there are beast kings there, they won't be able to protect the other side. Besides, there are five beast kings this time. I'm sure there will be two beast kings on one side of the outer wall!
Besides, the Otherworld Heavenly King can come at any time. I'll have to deal with the Otherworld Heavenly King.
If I deal with the Otherworld Heavenly King, they will have to deal with the other beast kings.
Su Ping thought quickly. In the end, he made up his mind and walked into the incubation room.
Su Ping planned to breed all seven million energy points!
If he could breed more beast kings, he would have a better chance of holding the line. The only problem he had to deal with was the Otherworld Heavenly King.
Inside the test room, the ground and the surroundings were filled with the boundless starry sky.
Su Ping felt as if he were walking in the starry sky. In front of him was the dry well.
"Breed!"
Su Ping didn't feel sad after making the decision. He started the breeding right away.
-1,000,000 energy points.
Soon, the Chaos Spirit Pool began to glow.
Roar!
Not long afterward, as the chaotic aura intertwined, complicated energy patterns appeared and a roar came out from the pool!
That roar was loud and clear, full of killing intent. Su Ping's eyes glowed.
It was an adult!
A majestic figure slowly rose from the Chaos Spirit Pool and floated in the air. It was a strange beast with wings on its back and the body of a scorpion. Judging by its energy, it was a beast king!
"Congratulations to the host for breeding the Storm Crab from the medieval era!"
The system's notification sounded.
Su Ping checked the beast king's attributes at once. He was delighted. The beast king's combat strength was 16.5!
It was even stronger than the Dark Dragon Hound!
The Dark Dragon Hound's combat strength was only about 14.
Su Ping put the Dark Dragon Hound into the contract space in the store and continued the breeding.
Soon, the second pet came out. Along with the roar of the wild beasts, it was another adult beast! But this time, he wasn't so lucky. It was only at the peak of the ninth rank.
Su Ping went on without hesitation.
The third, the fourth …
In the blink of an eye, Su Ping had used up all seven million energy points!
He had obtained seven pets in a row. Of the seven, only two were at the peak of the ninth rank. The other five were all beast kings!
He was so lucky this time, much luckier than last time.
However, Su Ping was disappointed that of the five beast kings, only one was at the Void State and it was at the peak of adulthood. Of the other four, one was a cub and its combat strength was barely comparable to a sixth-rank pet. As for the other three, their combat strengths were 12, 15, and 16 respectively.
The one with the highest combat strength was the Storm Scorpion.
None of the three was as strong as the Swamp War Crocodile that Su Ping had bred.
"Seven times and I still can't breed a beast king at the Fate State." Su Ping was disappointed. A beast king at the Fate State was still a beast king! According to the rules of the system, there was a chance that a beast king could be bred!
If he could breed an adult beast king at the Fate State, he believed that he would be able to defeat the Otherworld Heavenly King. After all, the Otherworld Heavenly King was only a beast king at the Fate State; it would be able to defeat it.
"But I won't be able to use a beast king at the Fate State. I haven't refreshed the Slave Contract yet. I have to be at the legendary rank to be able to control a beast king at the Void State. Not even those at the peak of the titled rank can control it.
Su Ping frowned.
If a legendary battle pet warrior from the Tower had come, he wouldn't have minded selling the beast king at the Void State to them.
Unfortunately, none of the legendary battle pet warriors had come.
The Longjiang Base City had no legendary battle pet warriors!
As a result, even though the Void State beast king was the most powerful one he had, he couldn't find a master to control it!
Sad!
Su Ping heaved a sigh of regret. Apart from the Void State beast king, he put all the other pets on the list for sale in the store.
Su Ping was about to call Qin Duhuang and the others when his phone rang.
It was Xie Jinshui's number.
Su Ping picked it up at once.
"Sir?"
"Mr. Su, this is bad!"
Xie Jinshui sounded anxious. "I just got the information that the wild beasts in the barren area are on their way to the base city! The evacuees haven't gathered yet. I think the wild beasts will have arrived by the time they do. I can only filter out some of the evacuees, but I think only a small number of them will be able to leave. Mr. Su, the battle is about to begin! "
Su Ping didn't expect that the wild beasts would arrive so quickly.
His mind was weighed down by the fact that the evacuees were still gathering.
"I will join the battle at any time. Sir, go on with the evacuees. Take as many as you can," Su Ping said.
Xie Jinshui replied at once, "Okay. Keep an eye out." With that said, Xie Jinshui hung up before Su Ping could say anything.
Su Ping called Qin Duhuang at once.
Su Ping heard a beep, indicating that the call was in progress.
Su Ping rushed out of the store, only to find that the family heads of the five major families were not in the building across the street. He remembered that they were helping Xie Jinshui to evacuate the women, children, and juniors of their families.
"Sir?"
Zhong Lingtong noticed the anxiety on Su Ping's face. She couldn't help but feel nervous.
That was the first time she had seen Su Ping in such a hurry.
Su Ping didn't say much to her. He told Tang Ruyan to take care of her and not leave the store. Then, he summoned the Dark Dragon Hound and told it to transform into the Heaven Expansion Dragon.
Su Ping hopped onto the Dark Dragon Hound's back and told it to go to the outer wall.
