Chapter 515

"Really?"

Su Ping was thrilled to hear Xie Jinshui's answer. "Okay, let's go now." He tried to take a deep breath, but he almost failed.

Xie Jinshui didn't expect that Su Ping would be in such a hurry. "Mr. Su, are you alright? Why don't you take a rest? I think you're exhausted." Su Ping looked at Xie Jinshui and said, "Mr. Su, are you alright?

"I'm fine …" Su Ping panted.

Su Ping panted. As soon as he finished his sentence, his vision darkened. Shadows appeared in his sight, like ghosts. Exhaustion overwhelmed him. Su Ping couldn't take it anymore and passed out.

"Mr. Su!"

Xie Jinshui and Qin Duhuang turned pale with fright. They hurried to help Su Ping.

Both of them were surprised to see that Su Ping had passed out. They didn't know that Su Ping would be so exhausted that he would pass out.

It wasn't hard to imagine how much effort Su Ping had put into fighting the Otherworld Heavenly King.

The two of them looked at each other with mixed feelings. Qin Duhuang took Su Ping's body and said, "I'll send someone to take Mr. Su back to his store and ask the healers to take care of him. I'll leave him to you."

Xie Jinshui nodded. It was all because of Su Ping that the Otherworld Heavenly King was driven away and the Longjiang Base City was saved. Their top priority was to take good care of Su Ping.

"Off you go."

"Okay."

Qin Duhuang left at once.

After Qin Duhuang took Su Ping away, Xie Jinshui took a deep breath and used his communicator to learn about the situation on the other side of the battlefield.

Xie Jinshui was relieved to know that the situation on the north and west sides had stabilized. He was even more grateful to Su Ping. It was thanks to Su Ping's Dragon Hound that the Ye Family was able to keep the north side under control. Otherwise, the north side would have been the first to be breached. After all, it was almost impossible for the Ye Family and the army there to stop the three beast kings.

"Everyone, kill them!!"

Xie Jinshui unsheathed his sword and charged into the wild beasts.

The other battle pet warriors shouted in response. They threw many skills at the wild beasts.

…

As the news that the Otherworld Heavenly King had been driven away spread out, morale soared in the north and west sides as well. Some of the titled battle pet warriors who had planned to save their own lives were thrilled. They charged into the battlefield again and soon, the wild beasts were defeated.

The wild beasts that were attacking the Longjiang Base City from all sides were collapsing. Countless dead bodies were left behind.

Many titled battle pet warriors were fighting in the wild beasts.

The other battle pet warriors formed formations and coordinated their strength, which was of great help on the battlefield.

The wild beasts were roaring and the humans were screaming. Blood was flowing like a river around the base city, and there were mountains of corpses.

The defense lasted from morning to afternoon. After the Heavenly King left, it lasted for a full three hours. In a situation where there were casualties every minute and second, the Demonic Beasts were finally repelled!

When the wild beasts around the base city fled in disarray, Xie Jinshui announced the news.

All the battle pet warriors that were defending the Longjiang Base City wept tears of joy.

Their blood was not shed in vain!

They had managed to defend the base city!

They had defended against the Otherworld Heavenly King's attack and the beast king's attack!

Everyone was proud of themselves. At the same time, they were sad for their comrades and their families who had lost their lives in the battle.

The five major families remained silent.

They had lost many battle pet warriors as well. Some were elites of their families, and some were titled battle pet warriors. Those people were like family to them.

Although they had won the battle, they had suffered heavy casualties. Outside the base city, blood and corpses were everywhere. There were countless dead beasts and countless human corpses mixed in with the corpses!

After some rest, Xie Jinshui sent people to track down the wild beasts. He also told the intelligence department to keep an eye on the barren areas outside the base city, in case the Otherworld Heavenly King came back again.

On the other hand, Xie Jinshui sent out teams to find the corpses of the battle pet warriors outside the base city.

Those battle pet warriors had died for the Longjiang Base City. They were heroes!

Heroes shouldn't let their corpses feel cold.

The teams searching for the corpses had mixed feelings.

They saw many corpses of battle pet warriors in the mouths of wild beasts. Some had been bitten in half, but the battle pet warriors were still pretending to attack before they died. Their arms were still stuck in the heads of wild beasts. Some were in the bellies of wild beasts, but their guts were slipping out. Only the skin of the beasts had been digested.

The ground was covered with broken limbs. It was a bloody scene.

Some of the corpses had fear written on their faces. Others were ferocious and mad.

Every casualty meant the destruction of a family.

Many families would suffer the pain of losing one of their members in this battle!

The Longjiang Base City was saved.

But countless lives had been sacrificed to save the Longjiang Base City.

After the joy, everyone was stunned speechless by the number of casualties. The entire Longjiang Base City was shrouded in sorrow.

Xie Jinshui had been in the mood to hold a celebration party during the first strike because only a few battle pet warriors had died and Su Ping had made it back in time. However, Xie Jinshui wasn't in the mood to celebrate this battle.

What was there to celebrate when so many people had died?

Once everything was settled, Xie Jinshui paid a visit to the forces that had come to reinforce the Longjiang Base City. He thanked them one by one with utmost sincerity.

Those forces had been of great help. Without them, the Longjiang Base City might not have been able to defend against the wild beasts.

The biggest threat had been driven away by Su Ping, but the remaining wild beasts were not to be underestimated. It was thanks to those forces that the Longjiang Base City had been able to stop the wild beasts.

Some of these external reinforcements had already left silently.

The Longjiang Base City had been saved. They had achieved their goal. They didn't stay any longer.

The rest of the forces left after seeing Xie Jinshui.

Since the Longjiang Base City was safe, there was no reason for them to stay any longer.

Xie Jinshui opened up the treasury and took out more than half of the savings the government had accumulated over the years to give to the forces that had come to help. There were many treasures, fruits, and rare pet eggs.

Xie Jinshui went straight to the Pixie Pet Store after thanking those forces.

Su Ping was the one who had contributed the most.

Without Su Ping, the Longjiang Base City would have been doomed no matter how many people they sacrificed.

Nobody could have stopped the Otherworld Heavenly King. Not to mention, the Otherworld Heavenly King was more than one rank lower than them.

Xie Jinshui was worried about Su Ping's condition. He noticed many familiar faces in Su Ping's store when he went to the store.

There was the famous Venerable the Blade and the equally famous Resurrection Hands Wu Guansheng.

Xie Jinshui remembered that they had gone to the Longjiang Base City with Yuan Tianchen, but Su Ping had asked them to stay.

Xie Jinshui asked Wu Guansheng at once, "How is Mr. Su? Is he awake?"

Wu Guansheng shook his head. "Not yet. Mr. Su's condition is a bit … strange. His blood has been drained and some new blood has just started to grow in his bone marrow. I used the Blood Solidification Skill to stimulate more blood. His condition is stable and he should have woken up by now. But I think his consciousness is severely depleted. He is still in a coma."

"His blood has been drained?"

Xie Jinshui was surprised.

He remembered that Su Ping's face had been as pale as a sheet of paper. How could a person survive without blood?

Not even battle pet warriors would have been able to do that. It was a miracle that Su Ping was able to survive.

"Mr. Su …"

Xie Jinshui clenched his fists. He didn't know what to say. Su Ping had gone to such lengths to fight the Otherworld Heavenly King.

As the mayor of the Longjiang Base City, he was supposed to protect the Longjiang Base City, but he had done nothing to help.

Xie Jinshui felt that he had failed to even ask the Tower for help. He was a good-for-nothing, a good-for-nothing.

He was filled with regret, self-blame, and pain.

"Does that man have a solution?" All of a sudden, Xie Jinshui remembered the legendary battle pet warrior in Su Ping's store. Soon, he saw Joanna leaning against the door of the pet room. That stunning girl was like an otherworldly deity; the look on her face was so indifferent that no one dared to approach her.

Hearing Xie Jinshui's words, the others also looked to Joanna.

She was the one who had taken Su Ping's body when he first came back. No one was allowed to get close. Wu Guansheng had persuaded Joanna in every possible way and had shown her healing abilities. Finally, Wu Guansheng had allowed Joanna to take a look.

"He's not going to die. He's just exhausted. Don't worry," Joanna said coldly.

Hearing Joanna's words, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

"I'm glad he's fine." Xie Jinshui heaved a sigh of relief. "It's all my fault. I'm too useless. If I had a legendary battle pet warrior to help, Mr. Su wouldn't be alone. At the very least, he would have a legendary battle pet warrior to help him fight against the Otherworld Heavenly King."

Qin Duhuang didn't say anything in the crowd.

He had just reached the legendary rank and was the only one there apart from Joanna. Still, he hadn't been of much help. On the contrary, he had left the Otherworld Heavenly King in the hands of someone who wasn't even at the legendary rank.

"If there's nothing else, you can leave. There's nothing you can do to help," Joanna said to the others.

When everyone heard her direct words, their faces twitched slightly. The sense of defeat in their hearts grew heavier, and they took their leave one after another.

…

Back in the pet room, in the nursing pen.

Su Ping was lying in the nursing pen, nourished by spiritual energy. His eyes were closed and he didn't move.

"You're so heavily injured. Is the existence behind you still not planning to come out?" Joanna sent everyone away. She sat in the pet room and gazed at Su Ping in the nursing pen. Her eyes flickered.

She could tell that Su Ping's wounds were caused by a secret skill. She also knew about the skeleton that Su Ping had, so she had an inkling of what had happened.

Rumor had it that the Skeleton Kings had a divine skill called White Bone Overlay. The little skeleton had been in the process of awakening, and now it had returned.

Judging from his aura, it was obvious that he was at the Starry Sky Level, which meant that his bloodline had been completely awakened and had become the Skeleton King bloodline.

"You little thing. You almost killed your master," Joanna said grumpily as she looked at the Little Skeleton in the other nursing pen that had fallen apart.

The Little Skeleton, who was lying quietly inside, had two balls of red light in its eye sockets. It glanced at her and moved its jaws slightly.

Joanna raised her eyebrows. "How dare you talk back? If you hadn't spoiled your master, he wouldn't have been so exhausted and almost died. It's lucky that he has a strong body, which seems to be some kind of ancient divine body. Otherwise, he would have been killed. "

The Little Skeleton's mouth stopped moving after hearing her words, and the red light in its eye sockets dissipated.

Joanna snorted and ignored the Little Skeleton.

Joanna looked at the unconscious Su Ping and mumbled to herself, "This guy really doesn't want to live anymore. He has such a powerful being behind him and yet he is still working so hard. He could have reached the Star Rank or even become a god in the future. What an idiot."

…

In the dark.

Su Ping felt that he had just had a long nightmare.

He dreamt that the Inferno Dragon had died in front of him. Apart from the Inferno Dragon, the Little Skeleton, the Dark Dragon Hound and the Purple Python were all dead.

Despair.

Fear!

"No!!"

Su Ping couldn't help but shout. The next second, he opened his eyes and sat up. The light shone in his eyes and he could see again.

Then, he felt a sharp pain coming from all over his body.

Su Ping looked around and saw that he was in a nursing pen.

That was to say, he was already in the store.

Su Ping was taken aback. His pupils suddenly contracted. He rushed out of the nursing pen, ignoring the pain all over his body.

"What?"

Joanna was cultivating in another nursing pen while taking care of Su Ping. She was alerted by Su Ping's movement. She walked out from the nursing pen and asked, "You're awake. Where are you going?"

"I'm in a coma? How long have I been out? "Su Ping asked in a hurry.

"Two days," Joanna answered.

Joanna said. Seeing how anxious he was, she frowned and said, "You still need to rest in your current state. You almost died earlier."

Two days!

Su Ping's heart skipped a beat. He felt lucky and scared at the same time. Luckily, it had only been two days. He would have hated himself to death if another day had passed.

He reached for his phone to contact Xie Jinshui, only to see that it was not on his wrist and that he had changed his clothes.

Su Ping asked in a hurry, "Where is my phone?"

Joanna raised her brows with a faint blush on her cheeks. She replied indifferently, "It's in the storage compartment."

Su Ping didn't pay much attention to it. He hurried to the storage compartment and found his phone.

He immediately dialed Xie Jinshui's number. After a few beeps, the call connected.

"Sir, it's Su Ping. Are you free now? Let's go to the Tower right now!" Su Ping said in a hurry.

"Mr. Su, you're awake?" Xie Jinshui was pleasantly surprised. He nodded without hesitation. "Sure, I'll be right there."

Xie Jinshui let his secretary take care of everything after he hung up. It had been two days since the wild beasts retreated. There was no cheering in the Longjiang Base City. Instead, there was a gloomy atmosphere. The streets were filled with promissory notes, mourning for the fallen heroes.

Over the past two days, the survivors in the Longjiang Base City had taken to social media to mourn for the fallen heroes.

It was a busy day to deal with the aftermath of the war. Still, Xie Jinshui chose to go to the Tower with Su Ping without any hesitation.

Su Ping was restless after he hung up the call. He checked the Inferno Dragon's soul in the contract space. He was relieved to see that the Inferno Dragon's soul was still golden, which meant that it could hold on.

"Sir, are you going to the Tower?"

Zhong Lingtong was overjoyed to see Su Ping wake up. She asked in surprise after hearing Su Ping's words.

She was not a battle pet warrior but she had heard of the Tower. That was a place where legendary battle pet warriors gathered. Su Ping was going there?

Tang Ruyan had also heard about the Tower. She was just as surprised. She didn't know that Su Ping was going to the Tower as soon as he woke up.

Su Ping was relieved to see that they were still in the store. "How is the Longjiang Base City? Have the wild beasts left?"

"Yes." Tang Ruyan nodded. She briefly told Su Ping about the wild beasts.

Su Ping didn't say anything after hearing Tang Ruyan's words. The wild beasts had retreated but the casualties couldn't be erased.

Su Ping's heart was weighed down by the thought of the Inferno Dragon. He knew very well how painful it was to lose a loved one.

Not long after, Xie Jinshui arrived at Su Ping's store.

"Mr. Su, are we leaving now?" Xie Jinshui was relieved to see that Su Ping's cheeks had regained some color.

Su Ping nodded. "How long will it take to get to the Tower at top speed?"

"Half a day," Xie Jinshui answered at once.

Time was of the essence. Su Ping said, "Let's go now."

Right then, another person came in. It was Qin Duhuang.

"Are you going to the Tower? It's on the way. I'll go with you," Qin Duhuang said.

Su Ping was confused. Xie Jinshui said, "Right, it's time for you to go. You've just reached the legendary rank. You should report to the Tower. They'll scold you when they come to ask you to come."

Qin Duhuang nodded.

He had to report to the Tower. That had been the rule for many years.
