"Really?"
Su Ping was thrilled to hear Xie Jinshui's words. "Okay, let's go right now." Su Ping tried to breathe but he almost couldn't.
Su Ping's face turned even paler. Xie Jinshui didn't expect that Su Ping would be in such a hurry. He hurried to help Su Ping up. "Mr. Su, are you okay? How about you rest for a while? I think you're exhausted."
"I'm fine …" Su Ping gasped.
Su Ping breathed heavily. He had barely finished his sentence when his vision went dark. Shadows appeared in front of him like ghosts. Su Ping was overwhelmed by fatigue and passed out.
"Mr. Su!"
Xie Jinshui and Qin Duhuang both turned pale with fright when Su Ping passed out. They hurried to help him.
Both of them were shocked to see that Su Ping had passed out. They didn't know that Su Ping was so exhausted that he had passed out.
It wasn't hard to imagine how much effort Su Ping had put in to deal with the Otherworld Heavenly King.
The two looked at each other with mixed feelings. Qin Duhuang took Su Ping's body and said, "I will 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 thanks to Su Ping that the Otherworld Heavenly King was driven away and the Longjiang Base City was saved. His top priority was to take good care of Su Ping. He couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
"Off you go."
"Okay."
Qin Duhuang left at once.
After Qin Duhuang left with Su Ping, Xie Jinshui took a deep breath and checked the situation on the other sides.
Xie Jinshui heaved a sigh of relief when he learned that the situation in the north and the west had been stabilized. He was even more grateful to Su Ping. The Ye Family's base in the north had been secured thanks to Su Ping's Dragon Hound. That place would have been the first to be breached otherwise. After all, it would have been impossible for the Ye Family and the army there to stop the three beast kings.
"Everyone, kill them!!"
Xie Jinshui unsheathed his sword and dashed into the wild beasts.
The other battle pet warriors shouted as well. Many skills were thrown into the wild beasts.
…
As the news of the Otherworld Heavenly King being driven away spread out, the morale of the people in the north and the west was high. Everyone was excited. Some titled battle pet warriors who had planned to save some strength for themselves were thrilled. They went back to the battlefield and soon, the wild beasts were scattered.
The wild beasts that had been besieging the Longjiang Base City were collapsing on a large scale.
The titled battle pet warriors were fighting against the wild beasts.
The other battle pet warriors formed a formation and integrated their strength; they were also of great help on the battlefield.
Both the wild beasts and humans were screaming. Blood flowed like rivers and corpses piled up like mountains.
The defense lasted from the morning to the afternoon. After the Otherworld Heavenly King left, the battle lasted for three hours. The wild beasts were finally driven away when there were casualties every second!
When all the beasts around the base had fled in disarray, Xie Jinshui announced the news that they had managed to hold on.
All the battle pet warriors in the Longjiang Base City burst into tears upon hearing the news.
The blood was not shed in vain!
Finally, they had made it!
They had fought hard against the Otherworld Heavenly King and the beast kings!
Everyone was proud of themselves. At the same time, they were grieving for their friends and family members who had sacrificed their lives.
The five major families remained silent.
They had lost many battle pet warriors as well, including the elites and titled battle pet warriors. Those people were their family members.
Although they had won the battle, they had suffered heavy casualties. Outside the base city, there was blood and corpses everywhere. There were countless corpses of monsters, but there were also countless corpses of humans mixed in!
After a short rest and rest, Xie Jinshui sent people to track down the defeated beasts. At the same time, he asked the Intelligence Department to continue monitoring the situation in the barren area outside the base city. This was to prevent the Otherworld Heavenly King from coming back.
In the meantime, Xie Jinshui sent people to retrieve the corpses of the fallen battle pet warriors outside the base city.
Those battle pet warriors had sacrificed their lives for the Longjiang Base City. They were all heroes!
Heroes shouldn't leave their corpses cold.
The people who were searching for corpses had mixed feelings.
They saw many corpses of battle pet warriors. Some of them had been bitten in half by wild beasts, but they were still trying to attack before they died. Their arms were stuck in the wild beasts' heads, and some were in their stomachs. The wild beasts' stomachs had been cut open and their internal organs had fallen out. They only had time to digest the skin.
Broken arms and legs were everywhere on the ground. It was a bloody scene.
Some of the corpses had fear written all over their faces. Others were filled with madness.
Every casualty meant the loss of a family.
In this battle, it was unknown how many families would face the pain of losing one of their members!
The Longjiang Base City had been saved.
But many people had been sacrificed to save the Longjiang Base City.
After a moment of joy, everyone was shocked speechless by the number of casualties. The entire Longjiang Base City was grieving and gloomy.
Xie Jinshui was in the mood to hold a celebration party for the first strike of wild beasts because few battle pet warriors had died and Su Ping had made it back in time. But this time, Xie Jinshui wasn't in the mood to celebrate.
So many people had died. What was there to celebrate?
After taking care of the post-war matters, Xie Jinshui went to visit the foreign forces that had come to reinforce the Longjiang Base City. He thanked them one by one with sincerity.
Those foreign forces had helped a lot. Without them, it would have been hard to say whether the Longjiang Base City could have survived the strike.
The biggest threat had been driven away by Su Ping but the remaining wild beasts were not to be underestimated. Those foreign forces had helped the Longjiang Base City to stop the wild beasts.
Among these foreign aid forces, some had already left silently.
The Longjiang Base City had been saved and they had achieved their goal. They didn't stay for long.
The other forces left one after another after meeting Xie Jinshui.
The Longjiang Base City had been saved. There was no reason for them to stay any longer.
Xie Jinshui opened the vault and took out more than half of the savings the government had accumulated over the years. He gave them to the foreign forces. There were many treasures, fruits and eggs of rare pets.
After thanking the foreign forces, Xie Jinshui went to the Pixie Pet Store at once.
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 had to sacrifice.
No one could have stopped the Otherworld Heavenly King. The Otherworld Heavenly King was more than one rank lower than them.
Xie Jinshui was worried about Su Ping. When he arrived, he saw many familiar faces in Su Ping's store.
There was the famous Saber Master and the equally famous Resurrection Saint Wu Guansheng.
Xie Jinshui remembered that they had come to the Longjiang Base City with Yuan Tianchen. Later, Su Ping seemed to have asked them to stay.
Xie Jinshui asked Wu Guansheng at once, "How is Mr. Su? Has he woken up?"
Wu Guansheng shook his head. "Not yet. Mr. Su's situation is … strange. His blood has been drained out. Some blood has just appeared in his bone marrow. I used the Great Saint Blood Fixation Technique to create some blood for him. He is in a stable condition. He should have woken up by now. But Mr. Su's consciousness seems to have been consumed and he is still in a coma."
"His blood has been drained?"
Xie Jinshui was stunned.
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 had managed to survive.
"Mr. Su …"
Xie Jinshui clenched his fists. He didn't know what to say. Su Ping had risked his life to fight the Otherworld Heavenly King.
As the mayor of the Longjiang Base City, Xie Jinshui was supposed to protect the Longjiang Base City. But he had done nothing.
He had even failed to ask the Tower for help. Xie Jinshui felt he was a failure. He was a good-for-nothing.
He was filled with regret, self-blame, and pain.
"Does that lady have a way?" Xie Jinshui suddenly remembered the legendary battle pet warrior in Su Ping's store. He looked up. Soon, he saw Joanna leaning against the door of the pet room. The beautiful girl was like an otherworldly goddess. She was so indifferent that no one could get close to her.
Hearing Xie Jinshui's words, everyone looked at Joanna.
She was the one who took Su Ping away when he first came back. She wouldn't let anyone get close to him. Wu Guansheng had to persuade her and show her some healing skills to allow her to take a closer look.
"He's not going to die. He's just exhausted. Don't worry," Joanna said coldly.
Everyone was relieved to hear Joanna's words.
"I'm glad he's okay." Xie Jinshui heaved a sigh of relief. "I'm so useless. If I could get a legendary battle pet warrior to help, Mr. Su wouldn't be alone. At least he would have a legendary battle pet warrior to help him fight the Otherworld Heavenly King."
Qin Duhuang said nothing.
He had just reached the legendary rank. Apart from Joanna, he was the only legendary battle pet warrior in the group. Even so, he hadn't been of much help. Instead, he had left the Otherworld Heavenly King to Su Ping, who wasn't even a legendary battle pet warrior.
"If there's nothing else, you can go now. You won't be of much help here," Joanna said to the others and asked them to leave.
When the crowd heard her direct words, their faces twitched slightly, and the frustration in their hearts grew even heavier. One after another, they took their leave.
…
In the pet room, in the nursing pen.
Su Ping was lying there, nourished by spirit energy. His eyes were closed and he was motionless.
"You're so badly injured. Is the person behind you still not going to come out?" Joanna asked the others to leave. She sat in the pet room and stared at Su Ping in the nursing pen.
She could tell that Su Ping's injuries were caused by a secret skill. She also knew about Su Ping's skeleton. She had a better idea of what had happened.
It was said that the Skeleton Kings could cover their bodies with white bones. The Little Skeleton had been in the process of awakening and had come back with Su Ping.
The Little Skeleton had clearly reached the Star Rank, which meant that the Little Skeleton's bloodline had been fully awakened.
"You little thing. You almost killed your master," Joanna said grumpily as she looked at the Little Skeleton that had fallen apart in another nursing pen.
The Little Skeleton was lying there quietly. There were two balls of red light in its eye sockets. The Little Skeleton looked at her and moved its jaws.
Joanna raised her eyebrows. "You dare to argue? If it weren't for you indulging your master so much, he wouldn't have overdrawn himself to this extent and almost died. It's only because his body's foundation is good. It seems to be some kind of lost ancient divine body. Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would have exploded long ago. "
When the little skeleton heard her words, its mouth also stopped moving and the red light in its eye sockets also dissipated.
Joanna snorted and paid no more attention to the Little Skeleton.
Joanna looked at Su Ping who was still in a coma and mumbled in a low voice, "This guy really doesn't want to live anymore. He has such a powerful being behind him and yet he's still working so hard. Wouldn't it be better for him to cultivate steadily? In the future, he will reach the Star Rank or even the Ascendant State. How foolish."
…
In the darkness.
Su Ping felt as if he had just had a long nightmare.
He dreamed that the Inferno Dragon died in front of him. Apart from the Inferno Dragon, the Little Skeleton, the Dark Dragon Hound, and the Purple Python were all killed.
Despair.
Horror!
"No!!"
Su Ping couldn't help but shout. The next second, he opened his eyes and sat up. Light shone into his eyes and he could see again.
Then, he felt dizziness and pain 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 stunned for a moment. His pupils contracted all of a sudden. Ignoring the sharp pain all over his body, he quickly rushed out of the nursing pen.
"What?"
Joanna, who was cultivating in another nursing pen and taking care of Su Ping, was alerted by Su Ping's movement. She walked out of the nursing pen and asked, "You're awake. Where are you going?"
"I passed out? How long have I been out? "Su Ping asked in a hurry.
"Two days," Joanna answered.
Qiao Anna said. Seeing that he was so anxious, she frowned and said, "You still need to rest in your current state. You almost died before."
Two days!
Su Ping was shocked. He felt lucky and scared at the same time. Luckily, it was only two days. He would have hated himself if it had been one more day.
He was about to take out his phone to call Xie Jinshui when he noticed that it wasn't on his wrist. He seemed to have changed his clothes.
Su Ping asked in a hurry, "Where is my phone?"
Joanna raised her eyebrows. A faint blush rose to her cheeks. "In the glove compartment."
Su Ping didn't pay much attention to it. He hurried to the storage compartment in the store and rummaged through it to find his communicator.
He dialed Xie Jinshui's number at once. The call went through after a few beeps.
"Mayor? This is Su Ping. Do you have time? Let's go to the Tower!" Su Ping said in a hurry.
"Mr. Su, you're awake?" Xie Jinshui was pleasantly surprised. Hearing Su Ping's anxious voice, he nodded without hesitation. "Okay, I'll be right there."
After the call ended, Xie Jinshui told his secretary to take care of everything. It had been two days since the wild beasts had left. There was no cheering in the Longjiang Base City. Instead, the atmosphere was gloomy. The streets were filled with white paper slips, mourning for the fallen heroes.
For the past two days, the ordinary survivors in the Longjiang Base City had taken the initiative to observe a moment of silence for the heroes on various social media platforms.
Xie Jinshui was busy dealing with the aftermath of the war. Still, he chose to go to the Tower with Su Ping without hesitation.
After he hung up the call, Su Ping sat in the store anxiously. He checked the Inferno Dragon's soul in the contract space. It was still golden in color and could still be maintained. Only then did he feel less anxious.
"Sir, you're going to the Tower?"
Zhong Lingtong was surprised to see that Su Ping had woken up. She couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment after hearing Su Ping's words.
She was not a battle pet warrior but she had heard about the Tower. That was a place where legendary battle pet warriors gathered. Su Ping was going there?
Tang Ruyan had heard about the Tower as well. She didn't expect that Su Ping would want to go to the Tower as soon as he woke up.
Su Ping was relieved to see that they were still in the store. "How are things in 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 a word. The wild beasts had retreated, but the casualties could not be erased or reversed.
Su Ping's mood was weighed down by the thought of the Inferno Dragon. He knew very well how painful it was to lose someone you cherished.
Xie Jinshui didn't have to wait long for Su Ping to arrive at Su Ping's store.
"Mr. Su, are we leaving now?" Xie Jinshui was relieved to see that Su Ping had regained some color.
Su Ping nodded at once. "How long will it take to get to the Tower as fast as possible?"
"Half a day," Xie Jinshui could tell that Su Ping was in a hurry.
Su Ping knew that time was running out. "Let's go then."
Right then, another person came in. It was Qin Duhuang.
"Are you going to the Tower? I'll go with you since it's on the way," Qin Duhuang said.
Su Ping looked at him in confusion. Xie Jinshui said, "Right, you should go as well. You've just reached the legendary rank. You should go to the Tower and report to them. They will tell you off when they come."
Qin Duhuang nodded.
Legendary battle pet warriors had to report to the Tower. That had been the rule for many years.
