Su Ping put away his sword and looked at Legend Riverside, who was still in a daze. "What's the situation at the front line? Are there any wild beasts gathering? If not, then this must be the one we missed."
Legend Riverside came back to his senses after hearing Su Ping's words. "Are … are you at the Fate State?"
"What does that have to do with you?"
"…"
Legend Riverside finally came back to his senses after Su Ping's retort. He shook his head. "The wild beasts haven't shown up yet. That beast appeared out of nowhere. I don't know if it's you … You didn't notice it before, or it's gathering again."
Legend Riverside had begun to regard Su Ping as a Fate State warrior, given how he had killed the Void State beast in one move.
He had never met Su Ping in the Tower, but the Tower had its secrets. Some of the powerful warriors who had joined the Tower in the early years had never shown up.
He had only heard about the legendary battle pet warriors who had joined the Tower later on, but had never seen them in person.
Not even Legend Riverside could see through the Tower. The Tower was like an unfathomable giant.
"If there's no movement, then we must have missed the wild beasts," Su Ping said.
He added, "I'm going back anyway. I'll leave this place to you. I'll go and check on the wild beasts. I'll take care of them if there are more beast kings. It'll be even better if there aren't any."
Legend Riverside curled his lips. Take care of them?
He made it sound as if killing beast kings was as easy as stepping on ants.
But that was indeed the case, considering the strength Su Ping had just demonstrated …
"Sir, I'm sorry for offending you. Please forgive me …" Legend Riverside lowered his head and apologized at once.
He had to stand properly. He wouldn't be ashamed to apologize to a legendary battle pet warrior at the Void State, let alone the Fate State. It was like a titled battle pet warrior bowing to a legendary battle pet warrior.
The gap between the legendary battle pet warriors and the Ocean State could be as big as the gap between a titled battle pet warrior and a legendary battle pet warrior at the Ocean State.
"Alright, just guard this place well."
Su Ping waved his hand and said, "If there are any abnormalities, we have to pay attention to them. This global beast tide isn't as simple as you think. There might be an even bigger beast tide attacking this place. If we can't hold on, try to save as many people as possible. It's fine to abandon the city."
Legend Riverside was stunned. He didn't expect Su Ping to say that.
An even bigger beast tide?
He was secretly shocked. From Su Ping's serious tone, it clearly didn't seem like he was joking. He seemed to know some inside information.
"Senior, is it true that there's going to be an even bigger beast tide?" Legend Riverside asked.
If it weren't for Su Ping's help, he would have been buried with the Holy Light Base City.
Of course, he wouldn't doubt Su Ping's claim that he had taken care of the twelve beast kings after witnessing what he had done.
The Void State beast king that Su Ping had killed was most likely the leader of the twelve beast kings, the one who had been directing the strike.
"I'm guessing. It's hard to say." Su Ping shook his head.
He wasn't sure, but he believed it was possible.
If he was absolutely sure, he would have made the news public and asked the entire Holy Light Base City to evacuate.
After all, the lives of an entire city were at stake. Keeping it a secret to avoid causing panic was not worth mentioning.
However, he couldn't say for sure.
If they had to evacuate directly, they would have to go to the Longjiang Base City. But the Longjiang Base City was limited in size. How many people could it accommodate?
Besides, apart from the Holy Light Base City, the other base cities would also be attacked by the wild beasts.
He couldn't bring all of them to the Longjiang Base City.
The Holy Light Base City was a well-established Class A base city that had been standing for hundreds of years. Its defenses were far more advanced than those of the other base cities!
The Holy Light Base City could protect itself by relying on the Holy Light Base City. The other Class B and Class C base cities would be in a hopeless situation. Any beast king could easily overturn the base cities!
"You're guessing?" Legend Riverside eyed Su Ping suspiciously. But he didn't say anything else.
Right then, many people came over. They were the titled battle pet warriors who had been fighting against the Six Swirls Conch.
"Sir, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"Sir, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
The titled battle pet warriors surrounded Su Ping. All of a sudden, all of them bowed to him. It was quite a magnificent sight.
Su Ping was surprised. "You don't have to do that. You've contributed as well. You've stalled the Six Swirls Conch. Otherwise, the damage would have been greater."
The titled battle pet warriors looked up at Su Ping. They were excited.
Su Ping was at the legendary rank, and he was even more powerful than Legend Riverside!
With such a legendary battle pet warrior at the helm of the Holy Light Base City, there was no need to worry about the wild beasts!
Whoosh!
It was Lu Qiu. He had arrived late but he was a titled battle pet warrior after all. He was able to see how Su Ping killed the beast that was causing trouble with one move.
Lu Qiu had a strange look on his face. He was surprised, confused, and resentful.
He stood in front of Su Ping but he didn't know how to address him.
Should I call him Brother SU like before?
Not even Legend Riverside could deal with the beast king, but Su Ping killed it with one move. That was a huge gap.
There was no doubt that Su Ping was at the Void State or even at the legendary rank!
Lu Qiu was the Vice President of the Breeders' Association. Even so, he knew that it was already good enough that a legendary battle pet warrior at the Ocean State would respect him.
As for those at the Void State, even legendary battle pet warriors at the Ocean State would have to treat them with respect!
"Mr. Su."
The old man in silver armor flew over with several titled battle pet warriors. He was excited.
Su Ping felt a headache coming. "The world is in dire straits. I have to hurry up and leave. You should hurry up and fix this place as well."
The silver-armored old man was about to express his gratitude, but he soon came back to his senses. "Mr. Su, you've killed the beast king. Don't you want to wait a little longer so that we can celebrate for you?"
Su Ping could tell that the old man wanted him to stay. "I'm here to help. Your problem is solved for the time being. I have my own base city to take care of.
"As for the celebration, there's nothing to celebrate. The wild beasts have been dealt with but they might come back again. You should stay alert. Don't relax."
"…"
The old man in silver armor opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
He didn't expect that Su Ping would be so direct. He didn't want to waste any time on pleasantries.
"Okay." The old man in silver armor forced a bitter smile.
He knew that a powerful battle pet warrior like Su Ping wouldn't change his mind easily. Trying to persuade him would only upset Su Ping.
Su Ping nodded. He heaved a sigh and was about to leave.
"Brother Su."
Lu Qiu stopped Su Ping in a hurry.
Lu Qiu rubbed his hands in embarrassment. "What you said to me before, does it still count?"
"What is it?" Su Ping raised his eyebrows.
"You want me to move to the Longjiang Base City."
"Oh? Didn't you say that you wouldn't leave? Even if you die, you want to be buried here. "
"Ahem!"
Lu Qiu was embarrassed. "I'm not going. I want to send some of my juniors over. I was wondering if you could take them with you."
Su Ping understood. Lu Qiu was trying to leave some seeds for his family.
"Okay. I'll give you twenty minutes. Can you get them here?" Su Ping asked.
Lu Qiu was overjoyed. "Yes! Yes! I'll tell them to come right away. "
With that said, he took out his phone and told his steward to make the arrangements. He had never sounded so serious before.
After he hung up, he contacted his family members and asked them to make way for him to send the others over.
While Lu Qiu was making the arrangements, the old man in silver armor and the others were still in a daze. They didn't know what Lu Qiu was trying to do.
Soon, they came back to their senses. Considering what Su Ping had said, the wild beasts could come again … Their expressions changed. Could it be that the wild beasts weren't done yet?
Lu Qiu was leaving a way out. Did that mean that the Holy Light Base City might not be able to survive?
The old man in silver armor came back to his senses. "Mr. Su, I have two juniors as well. Can you take them with you?"
Su Ping looked at him. The old man was the marshal of the Holy Light Base City, the leader of all the titled battle pet warriors. "If you can get them here in twenty minutes, I'll take them with me. If not, you can take them there yourself. But be careful on the way."
"Okay! Thank you, Mr. Su! "
The old man in silver armor was overjoyed.
He asked Su Ping to take them with him because he was worried that they would run into wild beasts on the way.
Apart from the wild beasts outside the Holy Light Base City, many other base cities were experiencing wild beasts as well. The wild areas were not as peaceful as before. Not even titled battle pet warriors could guarantee that nothing would happen.
"Mr. Su, I have three juniors in my family as well …"
The titled battle pet warriors standing next to the old man in silver armor said to Su Ping at once.
Su Ping looked at them and then at the titled battle pet warriors who had just been fighting. "I can take them with me if you can get them here in twenty minutes. Go and contact them yourselves."
The titled battle pet warriors thanked Su Ping and ran to the side to call for more people.
The other titled battle pet warriors who had just joined the battle realized that something was wrong. They began to contact their family members as well.
After a while, figures flew over one after another. Most of them were riding on the backs of huge bird beasts.
"Lord Lu."
Two titled battle pet warriors jumped off from a bird at the peak of the ninth rank with four young people. Two of them were about fifteen or sixteen years old and the other two were slightly older but still in their early twenties.
The four of them looked around in surprise. From the bird's back, they had already seen the destroyed outer wall and the huge beast king's body lying not far away.
"I brought them with me." A titled battle pet warrior flew over to Lu Qiu. Then, he looked around and found the situation strange.
Lu Qiu nodded. He looked at the four and said to Su Ping, "That's them."
"Yes."
Su Ping didn't say anything after a casual glance.
"You four, come here. This is Mr. Su, a legendary battle pet warrior. He will take you to the Longjiang Base City. You must listen to Mr. Su when you're there. You must treat Mr. Su like how you treat me!"
Lu Qiu said to the four in a serious tone.
The four were surprised. They didn't know that this young man, who seemed to be about their age, was at the legendary rank.
But they were all well-informed. They knew that there were some rare herbs that could preserve one's looks forever. At a certain level, one could even change one's appearance.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Su."
The four bowed at the same time.
Su Ping nodded and said to Lu Qiu, "Don't exaggerate. I'm just taking them there. The Longjiang Base City is not big but it's not small either. It can accommodate a few people. I don't have time to take care of them."
Lu Qiu said at once, "I know. You don't have to take care of us. We're already doing you a great favor by taking us there."
Su Ping didn't say anything else since Lu Qiu had understood him.
Soon, the people that the old man in silver armor had summoned arrived.
Su Ping saw that it was about time. He looked at the number of people present. There were about twenty of them.
Roar!
A swirl opened up behind him and a gust of hot air swept out. The Inferno Dragon stepped out. Compared to the Six Swirls Conch, the Inferno Dragon's body was dozens of meters long. Even so, the Inferno Dragon's aura was overwhelming. Everyone felt their hair stand on end.
"That battle pet …"
Legend Riverside's pupils contracted as he looked shocked.
Out of instinct, he sensed danger and pressure from that battle pet. It was even more intimidating than the Six Swirls Conch!
However, he could tell that the battle pet was at the ninth rank, just like Su Ping. It wasn't at the beast king level.
Su Ping told the Inferno Dragon to withdraw its aura.
He hopped onto the Inferno Dragon's shoulder and said to the young people below, "Come on up."
Everyone looked up at the Inferno Dragon in fear. That being said, the Inferno Dragon was a pet, not a beast. Even though they were scared, the young men and women climbed onto the Inferno Dragon's back one after another as someone took the lead.
The Inferno Dragon snorted as it looked at the young people that were climbing onto its tail. It was reluctant to do so.
After they had climbed onto the Inferno Dragon, Su Ping said to Lu Qiu and the others, "Let's go."
"Mr. Su, take care."
"Thank you, Mr. Su."
The titled battle pet warriors bowed to Su Ping.
Under everyone's gaze, the Inferno Dragon spread its wings and let out a majestic roar. Then, the Inferno Dragon flew away, stirring up a gust of wind.
Su Ping released astral powers to cover the young people on the Inferno Dragon's back in case they were blown away by the wind.
The young people looked at the holy light on their backs. They were reluctant to leave.
Su Ping flew to the place where the wild beasts had gathered. Along the way, he saw many small groups of wild beasts wandering around. They were no longer a threat.
"So, some of them escaped."
Su Ping shook his head and flew back to the Longjiang Base City.
…
In less than half a day, Su Ping returned to the Longjiang Base City.
Su Ping frowned because of what he saw on his way back.
He saw several groups of wild beasts on his way back. Some had hundreds of thousands of wild beasts while some had only a few thousand. Those wild beasts were marching in the barren areas, like a herd of yaks that were migrating during the season.
However, the ferocious wild beasts were far more terrifying than the yaks.
Su Ping stopped to ask the soldiers when he was passing by the outer wall. He learned where Qin Duhuang was guarding and turned to fly over.
Soon, he found Qin Duhuang at the southern wall.
"Qin Duhuang, how is it?" Su Ping flew over on the Inferno Dragon as he saw Qin Duhuang in the distance.
Qin Duhuang was chatting with a military officer when he heard the noise. He turned around and asked, "Who are those people behind you?"
"I just went to the Holy Light Base City and brought some people with me."
"You went to the Holy Light Base City? Did you go there to help? Just now, Xie Duhuang received information from Clairvoyance that the Holy Light Base City was attacked by a large group of wild beasts. How is it? "Qin Duhuang asked at once.
"It's taken care of."
Qin Duhuang produced a forced smile. "… You're right. It would have been a big problem if you hadn't taken care of it."
Qin Duhuang had seen Su Ping defeat the Otherworld Heavenly King. He had been searching for ancient materials. He hadn't joined the Tower and he didn't know much about legendary battle pet warriors, but he had learned the basics.
Qin Duhuang regarded Su Ping as a Fate State warrior, given the strength that Su Ping had demonstrated.
"The global situation is deteriorating. Many base cities are under attack. Xie Duhuang said that the Tower is going to unite all the base cities to fight against the wild beasts. All base cities have to take part," Qin Duhuang said.
