Su Ping had received an answer from Ye Hao.
Su Yanying, the first girl to patronize his store, was really gone …
He had even missed her memorial service because he had been in a coma; it was already over.
Su Ping felt like he was in a trance.
Life was so fragile.
There was an indescribable sadness in his heart.
He had seen countless deaths and blood. But he didn't know that he would feel this way when someone he was familiar with passed away.
He seemed to remember that the girl's goal was to become an explorer, make a lot of money, and improve her family. She wanted her family to move from the shantytown area to the uptown area and live a better life …
The Lightning Rat he trained gave her hope. She had a bright future, but it was ruined by the strike of the wild beasts.
Looking at the Lightning Rat that was looking up at the street on the stairs, Su Ping already knew why it was here. The Lightning Rat couldn't find its master, so it thought that it could wait until its master came to pick it up again.
Little did it know that its master had fallen into eternal sleep.
This was destined to be a fruitless wait.
Su Ping stepped forward, squatted down, and patted the Lightning Rat's head.
The Lightning Rat turned around abruptly and glared at Su Ping with its teeth bared. Electric sparks were emitting from its body, which bounced off Su Ping's hand. The Lightning Rat was wary of him.
Su Ping felt the numbness in his hand, but he didn't react. He looked at the Lightning Rat in silence and said, "Your contract has been severed and your memory has been erased. Do you know who you are waiting for?"
The Lightning Rat bared its teeth with a ferocious look.
However, seeing that Su Ping didn't intend to attack, the Lightning Rat's hair that was standing on end gradually softened. The Lightning Rat wore a blank look, which was followed by an indescribable sadness.
It was a sadness that it didn't know why it was so painful.
The Lightning Rat raised its head and looked at the street.
It felt that someone important was going to show up.
But the Lightning Rat didn't know what that person looked like or what face that person had.
Maybe the Lightning Rat would know when that person showed up.
Its body was very agile, and it quickly jumped onto the dragon statue at the side. It turned a blind eye to the invisible pressure emitted by the dragon statue. It stood at a higher position, and the two little claws in front of it retracted. It squatted there and stared silently, waiting.
Su Ping's heart ached to see the Lightning Rat's behavior. He didn't know why the Lightning Rat was behaving like that when the contract was severed.
But he knew that the person it was waiting for would never come.
"Little one, follow me from now on." Su Ping slowly sent these words into the Lightning Rat's mind, conveying his feelings and intentions.
But of the Lightning Rat's eyes, as if it was a part of the dragon statue, looking at the street street.
Su Ping didn't say anything else. He had already understood what it meant.
For battle pet warriors, they could have many battle pets. But for battle pets, the battle pet warrior was the only one.
Looking at the Lightning Rat's back, Su Ping thought of his Inferno Dragon. He remembered how the Inferno Dragon had burned its blood and stood in front of him. He remembered how the Inferno Dragon had shouted that it would never fall with its back to its master.
Su Ping clenched his fists and went back to the store.
"Sir, this Lightning Rat …" Zhong Lingtong opened her mouth. She was tempted by this ownerless Lightning Rat. She wanted to tame it.
Su Ping could tell what she was thinking. But he also knew that she couldn't tame this Lightning Rat by force. After all, under his training, the Lightning Rat had reached the peak of the seventh rank. With the help of Thunder Flash, one of the top 10 secret skills, the Lightning Rat could even escape from an eighth-rank beast.
It was impossible to tame the Lightning Rat by force without being at the master rank.
"Don't worry about it. Let it stay here. Go to another pet store and buy some pet food that the Lightning Rat likes," Su Ping said.
Zhong Lingtong was surprised. "Oh," she said. But then she asked in confusion, "Sir, aren't we running a pet store? I remember that we have some herbs of the thunder family that the Lightning Rat likes."
Su Ping curled his lips. He did have such herbs in his store. But those could only be sold or given to the pets that he had signed a contract with.
As a wild pet without an owner, the Lightning Rat could not pay. He had to go to another pet store to buy pet food for the Lightning Rat.
"Just do as I say. Don't ask so many questions," he said grumpily.
Zhong Lingtong was afraid to ask any more questions. She could tell that Su Ping was not in a good mood. She thought of the disaster that had befallen the Longjiang Base City. Soon, she understood.
During the two days when Su Ping was in a coma, Zhong Lingtong saw the devastation after the war for the first time. On the streets, she saw people who had lost their families wandering about. The numbness on their faces touched her.
"I understand," she said obediently.
…
It didn't take long for a whistling sound to arrive.
Dao Zun stepped into the store. He saw Su Ping and the two girls at once. When he saw Tang Ruyan, he nodded and said to Su Ping, "Mr. Su, I'm here."
Su Ping had sensed Dao Zun's presence. He turned around and nodded. "I won't waste your time if you're going to the Hancheng Base City to help. I have a pet that I can sell to you. Do you want it?"
"A pet?" Dao Zun was surprised. He didn't know that Su Ping had come to him to sell him a pet.
"Yes, the Swamp War Crocodile. You've seen it before," Su Ping said.
That Swamp War Crocodile was a nice pet but Su Ping still wanted to sell it. After all, they had signed a slave contract and he couldn't bring the pet to a cultivation site for training. The Swamp War Crocodile was destined to remain at the peak of the Ocean State, unless the Swamp War Crocodile could surpass the Ocean State.
Since the Little Skeleton had recovered, Su Ping didn't need the Swamp War Crocodile for the time being.
"… That crocodile?!" Dao Zun stared at Su Ping with wide eyes.
Tang Ruyan and Zhong Lingtong were surprised as well. They knew that pet's name but they didn't know that Su Ping was going to sell such a powerful beast king!
That was a beast king they were talking about, a priceless beast king. Selling it was no different from giving it away!
"Yes." Su Ping nodded. "You can use it when you go to the Hancheng Base City to help."
Dao Zun stared at him, still in a daze.
It never occurred to him that the gift Su Ping was going to give him would be so generous!
The crocodile was a beast king!
He had seen with his own eyes how the crocodile had defeated two beast kings at the same time. The crocodile was one of the most ferocious beast kings.
It never occurred to Dao Zun that Su Ping would be willing to sell the beast king to him!
"The current estimate is two hundred million. Would you like to buy it?" Su Ping asked.
Dao Zun came back to his senses after hearing Su Ping's offer. "Two, two hundred million? Mr. Su, did you forget to say a hundred? "
Two hundred million for that beast king?
That was a beast king they were talking about! Two hundred million was nothing compared to a beast king!
He would have made up his mind to buy the beast king even if he had to add two zeros, even if he had to spend all his savings!
After all, beast kings of that level were hard to come by. It was impossible for him to capture one on his own. He would have to spend money to ask legendary battle pet warriors to help him.
But legendary battle pet warriors would have to pay at least ten billion.
"Two hundred million it is." Since he had just met the Lightning Rat, he wasn't even in the mood for flirting. He said calmly, "If you want it, then pay up. I will transfer the money to you right now."
The Swamp War Crocodile had signed a slave contract. Canceling the contract would not affect Dao Zun at all. He would not be weakened for a few days.
"Yes, of course!" Dao Zun could not wait.
Two hundred million for a beast king. Of course, Dao Zun would say no. He was touched by the gift that Su Ping had mentioned. That gift was a beast king gift pack!
Dao Zun gazed at Su Ping.
Dao Zun had been following Yuan Tianchen for years, hoping that Yuan Tianchen could give him some inspiration so that he could reach the legendary rank. He also hoped that Yuan Tianchen could capture a beast king for him so that he could become a Renegade.
Dao Zun had been following Yuan Tianchen for many years. Yuan Tianchen had said that he would capture a beast king for Dao Zun, but he had never done so. Yet, Yuan Tianchen had managed to get a beast king from Su Ping, a ferocious beast king!
"Mr. Su …"
Dao Zun wanted to thank Su Ping, but in the end, he swallowed his words.
Compared to a beast king, the word "thank you" was too insignificant. For a moment, he found it hard to say.
Su Ping saw the look in Dao Zun's eyes. He patted Dao Zun's shoulder. "You don't have to say it out loud. Also, this is my reward for you. You deserve it for risking your life to come to the Longjiang Base City. But I have a small condition for buying this beast king."
Venerable the Blade was startled and quickly said, "Mr. Su, just tell me."
"My condition is that if you become a legendary battle pet warrior in the future, you cannot abandon it easily. You can only cancel the contract after ten years! If you become more powerful than the beast king and you want to cancel the contract, you will have to come to my store and I will be the witness. Can you do that? "
Dao Zun was surprised. He had thought that the condition would be difficult. It turned out to be such a trivial matter.
"Of course!" Dao Zun answered without hesitation. "Mr. Su, you think too highly of me. This is a beast king. I will have to rely on it even when I become a legendary battle pet warrior, let alone a legendary battle pet warrior. I haven't found my path yet. I don't even see any hope. Maybe I won't be able to reach the legendary rank for the rest of my life …"
He was telling the truth. He was still young and had a great chance of reaching the legendary rank. However, he had seen many geniuses who had reached the peak of the titled rank at a young age but had failed to reach the legendary rank by the time they reached the end of their lives. They had to die of old age.
Reaching the legendary rank was just one step. Without finding the right path, there would be no hope.
"You can do it. Don't give up." Su Ping encouraged him.
Dao Zun smiled. "Do I transfer the money now?"
"Yes."
"Okay."
Dao Zun completed the transfer at once. He had not seen the battle pet that Su Ping had mentioned but he was not worried that Su Ping would lie to him.
For the first time, Su Ping realized that things were not as wonderful as he had thought.
The Swamp War Crocodile was not his battle pet but it had fought alongside him. Su Ping was reluctant to part with it.
Su Ping heaved a sigh. He went out of the store and summoned the Swamp War Crocodile.
Roar!
The huge Swamp War Crocodile's body seemed to be made of gold. Every single one of its scales was filled with primitive ferocity, reflecting a cold luster.
The Swamp War Crocodile was so large that it filled up the entire street.
Dao Zun was stunned to see the beast king again. Back at the Supremacy League, he had seen Su Ping riding on the beast king and leaving the titled battle pet warriors behind. He didn't know that the beast king would become his battle pet.
Dao Zun's eyes glowed. He fondly sized up the Swamp War Crocodile's body as if he were admiring a beautiful woman.
Su Ping stepped forward and patted the Swamp War Crocodile. He said goodbye to the Swamp War Crocodile.
The Swamp War Crocodile bellowed. There was a trace of confusion in its ferocious eyes.
The next second, Su Ping severed the contract.
The confusion in the Swamp War Crocodile's eyes disappeared. All of a sudden, the Swamp War Crocodile felt that something was missing in its head. Something that had been holding it back seemed to have broken. The Swamp War Crocodile could not help but raise its head and roar.
Roar!!
The beast's roar was loud and clear.
Many people were alarmed, thinking that the beast king was attacking the city again.
However, some of the regular customers of the Pixie Pet Store were enlightened when they realized that the roar was coming from there. If that was the case, then it was most likely one of Su Ping's pets. Even if it wasn't, it would be fine. With Su Ping there, even if it were an invading beast king, he would be able to kill it.
Outside the store.
Su Ping said to Dao Zun, "You can sign the contract with the Swamp War Crocodile now."
Dao Zun felt his blood boiling when he heard the roar. He could not wait to sign the contract with the Swamp War Crocodile as soon as he heard Su Ping's words.
The Swamp War Crocodile had sensed Dao Zun's intention and wanted to fight back. However, the system had suppressed the Swamp War Crocodile and the Swamp War Crocodile had to wait for the contract to be signed.
When the incantation of the contract sank into the minds of the two parties, a permanent connection appeared between the two strangers.
The Swamp War Crocodile calmed down. It had just signed the contract. Because of the contract, the Swamp War Crocodile would remain loyal to its master. The Swamp War Crocodile would only rebel against its master when its master did something that angered it.
"From now on, you are my partner." Dao Zun stepped forward and stroked the Swamp War Crocodile's rough scales gently.
Through the contract, he could sense the Swamp War Crocodile's emotions. He could tell that this battle pet had a lonely soul.
But at this moment, he was here to accompany and protect that lonely soul.
The Swamp War Crocodile lowered its head and looked at him. It let out a low roar in response.
Su Ping was relieved to see that the contract had been signed. "Take good care of it."
"I will."
Dao Zun put away the Swamp War Crocodile and looked at Su Ping. "There are some things that I need to say. Mr. Su, I'll be on my way."
"Okay." Su Ping nodded.
Dao Zun cupped his fists and flew away. He summoned a flying battle pet and disappeared from Su Ping's sight.
Su Ping looked away. With the help of Dao Zun and the Swamp War Crocodile, they should be able to save the Hancheng Base City. Unless the Hancheng Base City had a Heavenly King hiding behind it, just like the Longjiang Base City.
Su Ping turned around and was about to go back to the store when he noticed that the little purple figure was still gazing at the street. Not even the Swamp War Crocodile's appearance could distract the little purple figure.
Su Ping's eyes flashed. He turned around and went back into the store.
…
He had just sold the Swamp War Crocodile. The two hundred million points of income were converted into two million energy points.
Su Ping went back to the store without hesitation. He left the store to Tang Ruyan and Zhong Lingtong and went to the pet room. He told Joanna who was cultivating in the nursing pen to take care of the store.
This time, he was going to the Realm of Dragons. Joanna had to stay in the store.
"Let's go!"
Su Ping went out of the Realm of Purple-blood Dragons. He made up his mind and went in.
Joanna watched as the swirl swallowed Su Ping. Her eyes glowed. When Su Ping promised her that he could go to the Archean Divinity, she didn't believe him. She was more and more convinced that Su Ping could make it happen. It was just that she hadn't accumulated enough points to become an Outstanding Employee.
She began to feel anxious and expectant.
…
The Realm of Purple-blood Dragons.
In a dark brown rock forest, with a swoosh, a tiny figure suddenly appeared and landed on a rock like a tiny ant.
Su Ping lifted his head and looked around.
Was this the Realm of Purple-blood Dragons?
Was this … the world of dragons?
While Su Ping was looking around, all of a sudden, a dragon's roar came from the distance, shaking the void. That dragon's roar came from behind a forest of giant trees.
The next moment, Su Ping saw an enormous dragon that was hundreds of meters long flying out from the forest of giant trees in the distance. The dragon spread its wings and covered the sky, casting a large shadow over the sky.
Su Ping saw that the dragon was holding another dragon in its mouth, which was dripping with blood.
