The bones that fell off from Su Ping's body reformed into the Little Skeleton. The Little Skeleton was also very weak at the moment. When the Purple Python came out, the Little Skeleton sat on its head and let its bones fall to the ground. That was how the Little Skeleton rested.
The Purple Python understood what Su Ping meant. It held Su Ping in its mouth and hid his energy. Then, the Purple Python went back the way it had come.
…
On the south side of the base city.
The Otherworld Heavenly King had left and the beast king had been killed by Su Ping. The rest of the wild beasts had lost their leader. They were still attacking the base city but they were not as aggressive as before.
Many titled battle pet warriors had arrived to help.
"We heard that the Otherworld Heavenly King was on the south side. We're here to help!"
"Didn't they say that there were several beast kings? Is the information fake?"
"Where is the Otherworld Heavenly King?"
The titled battle pet warriors who had come as reinforcements were surprised. They didn't see any beast kings among the wild beasts. Could it be that the information they had received was false?
Dao Zun and other famous titled battle pet warriors from the Longjiang Base City were among those who had come to help. Qin Duhuang and the other titled battle pet warriors from the Qin Family were also there. Of all the other sides, the east side was the only one they could spare.
Su Ping's Swamp War Crocodile joined the battle on the east side. Qin Duhuang, who had just reached the legendary rank, and the Storm Scorpion he had bought from Su Ping, had taken control of the east side. Xie Jinshui was the only one left to deal with the remaining wild beasts.
Qin Duhuang hurried over to the south side as soon as he heard the news.
He wasn't in charge of the south side. That being said, the Longjiang Base City would not be safe if the south side was breached.
No egg could remain intact when the nest was overturned!
However, when they arrived at the south, the situation there confused the reinforcements.
The outer wall had been breached but the wild beasts there seemed to be the weakest. The Otherworld Heavenly King was nowhere to be seen.
"Is the Otherworld Heavenly King really on the south side?"
"Did the Longjiang Base City get the wrong information? Or have you been lured away?"
The reinforcements found Mu Beihai and Liu Tianzong, who were in charge of the defense in the south, as well as the titled general from the government.
Mu Beihai and the others produced a forced smile.
How could the news be wrong?
"The news is true, but Higan just left. Mr. Su chased after her, so they left the battlefield together."
"That's right. There were three beast kings, but Mr. Su killed them all!"
Mu Beihai and Liu Tianzong explained.
With that said, Mu Beihai darted a look at Qin Duhuang. All of a sudden, Mu Beihai sensed that there was something different about this long-time rival of his. There was something frightening about him.
Although he used to be quite wary of Qin Duhuang, it was not to the extent that he was afraid of him. But now, just standing in front of him gave him a feeling of trepidation.
"Kill?"
"Higan left the battlefield? Being hunted?! "
When everyone heard their words, they all opened their eyes wide and looked at them in astonishment.
Go after Higan?
Are you mistaken? Or did we hear it wrong?
That was one of the Four Heavenly Kings, the king of all beast kings!
The Heavenly King had dominated the Blue Star for thousands of years and no one had been able to defeat it. How could Su Ping be hunting it down?!
"Who is Mr. Su?"
Some of the titled battle pet warriors who had come to reinforce the Longjiang Base City couldn't help but ask.
But those from the Longjiang Base City were still in shock. No one answered them.
Who is Mr. Su?
Mr. Su is Mr. Su!
The Mr. Su that no one could see through!
"He …"
Dao Zun opened his mouth but no words came out of his mouth. He forced a bitter smile. He had thought that Su Ping had shown his best during the Supremacy League.
However, Su Ping had forced the Otherworld Heavenly King to flee!
That was the Otherworld Heavenly King!
But Dao Zun was well aware that not even legendary battle pet warriors could defeat the Otherworld Heavenly King!
Why else would there be no legendary battle pet warriors from the Tower?
Those legendary battle pet warriors were scared!
Without seven or eight legendary battle pet warriors, no one would be able to defeat the Otherworld Heavenly King!
Dao Zun remembered that Su Ping wasn't at the legendary rank yet, just at the titled rank.
A titled battle pet warrior fighting against the Otherworld Heavenly King?
Dao Zun couldn't imagine it anymore. He felt his worldview had been turned upside down. That was horrifying.
While everyone was still in shock, the wild beasts continued to charge forward. The cannons and roars woke them up. Qin Duhuang was the first to recover from the shock. While he could not believe what he had just heard, the most important thing was to stop the wild beasts as soon as possible. That way, the casualties of the battle pet warriors could be minimized.
"Guys, come with me. Let's wipe out those wild beasts!" Qin Duhuang said. A surge of energy burst out of his body, displaying the vast power of the ocean.
Everyone was startled.
Legendary battle pet warrior!
Those at the peak of the titled rank felt it the most. That was not a titled battle pet warrior. They stared at Qin Duhuang in awe.
Dao Zun was just as surprised. He knew Qin Duhuang. He didn't know that the old man who had been silent for years had become a legendary battle pet warrior.
Mu Beihai and Liu Tianzong were the most shocked of all. They had been competing with Qin Duhuang in the Longjiang Base City for many years. They never thought that Qin Duhuang would become a legendary battle pet warrior!
Mu Beihai was still in shock. But soon, he remembered the mysterious force he had sensed. He believed that he could reach the legendary battle pet warrior soon as well.
That being said, he was reminded of his battle pet, the Flaming Dark Phoenix, when he thought of that mysterious force.
The thought of the Flaming Dark Phoenix burning itself and feeding its strength to him made him feel as if his heart was being torn apart.
"Kill them! Kill those bastards!! "
Mu Beihai bit his teeth. With that said, he dashed into the battlefield without caring about the others.
There were no beast kings around and the strongest beasts were at the peak of the ninth rank. He was fearless.
The others were startled by Mu Beihai's sudden outburst of anger. Still, the miserable screams filled their ears. They roared and dashed into the crowd of beasts.
Boom!
As Qin Duhuang and the other titled battle pet warriors joined the fray, the wild beasts were pushed back and many died.
Saber Venerable held a huge saber in his hand and shuttled back and forth in the battlefield while displaying his terrifying saber techniques. Every slash was able to kill several demonic beasts. Even Ninth Rank demonic beasts were killed by his saber without being able to withstand a single slash!
The other titled battle pet warriors were doing their best as well. For a moment, the base city's morale was boosted. The situation was reversed. They pushed back the wild beasts that were rushing toward the outer wall!
The wild beasts soon collapsed. Without beast kings to command them, the number of wild beasts in the south was smaller to begin with. With so many powerful battle pet warriors joining the battle, the wild beasts were pushed back. Some of the ninth-rank wild beasts were killed. The wild beasts began to flee!
The wild beasts fled in all directions, leaving behind a large number of dead bodies.
Blood and corpses piled up on the battlefield.
This desolate scene made the survivors feel both fortunate and sorrowful.
Among the dead bodies were those of wild beasts, their comrades, and some were their best friends.
"Look, that's Mr. Su's battle pet."
Liu Tianzong, who was cleaning up the battlefield and chasing after the wild beasts, suddenly looked into the distance in surprise.
The others looked over as well. A python with a length of dozens of meters was coming their way.
Only a few titled battle pet warriors who had paid special attention to Su Ping knew about Su Ping's rarely used battle pet.
"Mr. Su is back?"
The ones who recognized the battle pet were surprised. Su Ping had returned from hunting down the Otherworld Heavenly King. What about the Otherworld Heavenly King?
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The titled battle pet warriors went to greet the python.
Dao Zun and Qin Duhuang killed the wild beasts in front of them and hurried over to the python.
Even though many titled battle pet warriors were charging at it, the anaconda was still moving forward, as if it could not see them. Not even Qin Duhuang's legendary battle pet warriors made the anaconda stop.
The python seemed to have heard something. It suddenly stopped and opened its mouth.
Su Ping sat up from inside the python's mouth. He had recovered a bit on the way back so he could move.
Su Ping flew out from the Purple Python's mouth and landed on its head. He cast a gentle glance at the Little Skeleton and patted its snow-white skull.
"Mr. Su!"
"Mr. Su, you're back."
Everyone was thrilled.
Mu Beihai hurried over. "Mr. Su, where is the Otherworld Heavenly King?"
The others were surprised. The titled battle pet warriors who had gone to help the Longjiang Base City and had asked about Mr. Su were staring at the young man in a daze. They didn't know that the Mr. Su they had been talking about was such a young man. They had thought that he was some old legendary battle pet warrior.
"Renegade!"
Someone who had participated in the Supremacy League recognized Su Ping right away. The Mr. Su they had been talking about was the Renegade who had wreaked havoc in the Supremacy League!
The man who had killed a legendary battle pet warrior was in the Longjiang Base City.
"It got away," Su Ping said in a low voice. A glint of killing intent rose in his eyes.
Everyone was stunned still.
They were at a loss for words after seeing how unwilling Su Ping was.
One of the four legendary battle pet warriors had been chased by a human being and Su Ping was the only one who had chased him!
That was shocking news. The entire world would be shocked, not to mention the Longjiang Base City!
Even the legendary battle pet warriors would be dumbfounded!
Those who knew that Su Ping was the Renegade felt chills down their spines. Su Ping was only at the titled rank when he participated in the Supremacy League. Had he become a legendary battle pet warrior in just a few days? Otherwise, how could a titled battle pet warrior fight against a monster like the Otherworld Heavenly King?
Su Ping looked around. The wild beasts were running for their lives; most of them had been killed. The ground was covered in blood and corpses. The beast kings' corpses were the most eye-catching.
A glint of anger rose in Su Ping's eyes but he soon calmed himself down. He clenched his fists.
The thought of the Inferno Dragon made him clench his teeth.
"My … lord …"
Right then, he heard a feeble voice.
Su Ping felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
That was … the Inferno Dragon's voice?!
The Inferno Dragon was still alive?!
Su Ping's eyes were wide open. He stood up and looked around in a hurry.
Everyone was confused by Su Ping's actions.
However, Su Ping wasn't paying attention to them at the moment. He looked around for a moment and finally saw a golden shadow in the sky.
That was the Inferno Dragon!
Boom!
Su Ping's body trembled. He was running low on astral powers but he still squeezed out all his astral powers. He dashed toward that golden shadow as fast as he could.
He could feel a strong sense of intimacy. That was the Inferno Dragon. It was still there!
That golden shadow hovered in the air, unable to move. Even turning around was slow. The Inferno Dragon was relieved to see Su Ping coming toward it.
Su Ping was on the verge of tears, but he managed to hold back his tears. Only then did he notice that the contract between him and the Inferno Dragon in his mind was weak and on the verge of breaking, but there was still a faint connection.
But Su Ping couldn't tell what state the Inferno Dragon was in.
Without a body, the Inferno Dragon was more like a mass of energy.
Is that a soul?
Su Ping didn't know. He didn't know what to do.
"That's the dragon's soul."
The system's voice suddenly rang in his head. The voice sounded a bit deep, which was similar to the usual indifferent and rigid tone. It seemed that there was more emotion in it.
"That beast only crushed the Inferno Dragon's body. Among the skills that the Inferno Dragon learned, there were skills that could strengthen the soul. I think the Inferno Dragon saved its dragon's soul when it was in a desperate situation because it spent too much time with your Little Skeleton. The dragon's soul didn't disperse because of the divine energy."
Su Ping was stunned. He asked at once, "What should I do now? Can the Inferno Dragon go back to how it used to be?"
"The Inferno Dragon's physical body is gone and the dragon's soul is exposed to the world. If it weren't for the divine energy, the Inferno Dragon's soul would have been sucked into the Realm of the Undead. By then, the bond between you and the Inferno Dragon would have been severed. That would be what you humans call 'death.'"
The system continued, "If you want the Inferno Dragon to recover, you have to go to the Realm of the Dragons and find the dragon origin. Also, you'd better find the Soul Nurturer for the Inferno Dragon first. Otherwise, the Inferno Dragon's divine energy won't last long. Judging by the current speed, the Soul Nurturer will be gone in three days at most."
Su Ping narrowed his eyes. That was to say, he had to find the Soul Nurturer within three days.
But where could he find it?
He asked the system at once.
"You have to rely on yourself. That's not something I can do," the system said in a low voice.
Su Ping bit his teeth.
But he didn't blame the system. He was already grateful that the system could answer his question.
"Can I put it in the contract space? Will we be able to stay longer in there? "
"Yes, you can. You can stay there for three days."
Su Ping turned pale. Still, he chose to put the Inferno Dragon's soul into the contract space.
"Wait for me. I will find a way to bring you back. I will not let you disappear!" Su Ping said to the Inferno Dragon.
The Inferno Dragon replied to Su Ping in a weak voice, "I won't … fall …"
Su Ping's eyes reddened. He clenched his fists. He was even more determined to kill the Otherworld Heavenly King.
After the Inferno Dragon went back into the contract space, Su Ping went back to the ground. He went to Qin Duhuang and the others and asked at once, "Have you heard of something called the Soul Nurturer?"
The system couldn't do anything about it. Su Ping had to rely on them and Joanna.
If they didn't know, he would go to Joanna.
"Soul Nurturer?"
Qin Duhuang and the others looked at each other in confusion.
"Never heard of it," someone answered carefully.
The others shook their heads as well.
Su Ping turned to Dao Zun. He had been with a legendary battle pet warrior for a long time and had seen many things.
Dao Zun saw the look in Su Ping's eyes. He had never seen such eagerness and hope in Su Ping's eyes. With a heavy heart, Dao Zun shook his head as well.
Su Ping's heart sank.
All of a sudden, Qin Duhuang said, "I think I've heard of it before."
Su Ping's eyes glowed. "Where is it?" He asked at once.
"I heard about it from Xie. I think it's … at the Tower?" Qin Duhuang wasn't sure. "We were drinking and he mentioned it casually. You have to ask Xie about the details."
