Chapter 582

"We'll stay here and guard the valley. Go back and ask Brother Su how the Lin family is doing and if we have any new titled battle pet warriors."

Some of his friends stayed behind to guard the valley.

Some of his friends agreed with a smile and went back to the settlement with the others.

Su Ping found it strange that people were asking him questions. "Didn't the Tower contact you while you were guarding the valley?"

Those legendary battle pet warriors were stationed in the Deep Caves all year round and they didn't know what was going on outside. At the very least, they wouldn't be cut off from information with the Tower acting as a bridge.

"The environment in the Deep Caves is harsh. The Tower can't contact us all the time. We can only send some important messages. I don't want to waste such a precious opportunity because of some trivial matters in our family." A middle-aged legendary battle pet warrior said with a smile. One of his arms was missing and it didn't grow back. He must have suffered from an incurable attack.

Another old man said, "I've been here for over three hundred years. I'm one of the newer ones. Brother Tieyi came over a hundred years ago. He told me that the Mo family was doing well and that we had produced some good titled battle pet warriors. I wonder how we are doing after a hundred years."

"Are the base cities still the same?" another legendary battle pet warrior asked.

Su Ping found the old man strange. "You've served here for three hundred years? I thought legendary battle pet warriors only needed to stay here for fifty years. "

Yun Wanli, who was standing next to Su Ping, was a bit nervous.

The old man shook his head with a smile and said, "Although the higher-ups said 50 years would be enough, and I was prepared to stay here for 50 years before going back. But after I came here, too many things happened. I couldn't stay here for the first year. Then, I slowly stayed for 10 years, then 20 years … Then, an old friend fell here in order to save me. You've seen the situation in this abyss. There are too many Demonic Beasts, and they can't be killed all!"

"Not many legendary battle pet warriors have come here and it's not easy to have a new one. Who's going to guard this place if we leave?

"The entire continent will suffer if there's no one to guard it. The families we're protecting will face disaster!"

The other young man nodded. "Xiao Mo is right. We can't kill all the beasts here. The Tower is sending fewer legendary battle pet warriors every year. Something big is going to happen if we leave. I've been here for five hundred years. Many of my seniors have fallen in front of me during those five hundred years of killing and suppression. I'm still alive because of their help."

"That's why I won't leave. I want to guard this place. Guarding this place is to protect the descendants of those seniors!"

"That's right. You can only come in, not leave!" a bald legendary battle pet warrior said. His voice was deep and clear.

The other legendary battle pet warriors didn't say anything, but their expressions spoke for themselves.

Su Ping was surprised.

This was completely different from the legendary battle pet warriors he had seen in the Tower.

He had already passed the period of his military service, yet he was still guarding this place and fighting with his life on the line?

Su Ping believed that they weren't lying.

That could only mean that they were truly willing to give their all here!

They were sacrificing for the peace on the surface!

Su Ping didn't know what to say as he looked at the scars on their bodies.

A long while later, he asked, "Did any of the legendary battle pet warriors leave after completing their service?"

The old man called Little Mo shook his head and said, "Of course there are. There will always be some people who want to leave, but it's understandable. After all, they have their own treasures. Moreover, fighting here is completely risking one's life. No one knows if they can survive until tomorrow. Just like today, if Brother Su didn't support us, there might be casualties among us again."

"That's right."

"It's their freedom to leave when their service is over."

"It's our choice to stay."

"You can't force it. We won't blame those who leave."

The others spoke up.

Su Ping asked after a moment of silence, "You've just joined the Tower. Have you been sent here to serve?"

"Of course. It's the Tower's rule."

"Those who come here are all new members of the Tower. Sometimes, some senior members of the Tower are willing to come here. For example, Senior Yun was at the Void State and he joined the Tower a long time ago. He left after completing his service here and then came back. Unfortunately, he died in battle four hundred years ago."

"Brother Su, be careful with your words."

An old man with one ear stepped forward and gave Su Ping a meaningful look.

Su Ping was surprised to hear the old man's words. He realized that the old man was the one who had been silent the entire time. Su Ping noticed the look in the old man's eyes. Suddenly, Su Ping understood what the old man was thinking.

At that moment, Su Ping thought of many things and understood many things.

The Tower's rule was that legendary battle pet warriors had to serve in the Deep Caves.

Some legendary battle pet warriors would hide their rank and refuse to join the Tower in order to avoid serving. They would live a low-key life because they didn't want to risk their lives in the Deep Caves.

The old man from the Qin family whom Su Ping had killed in the Supremacy League was one such example.

Some legendary battle pet warriors had joined the Tower for the resources but they would leave as soon as their service was over, as if they had completed a mission.

Those legendary battle pet warriors were the ones Su Ping was looking for.

However, they couldn't stop after they joined the Tower and they had stayed.

Maybe.

They were staying here to wait until they died in battle!

People were divided into different levels. Su Ping didn't know that legendary battle pet warriors were the same.

The kind would always be bullied and the kind would always bear the most. It was the same for legendary battle pet warriors.

Perhaps, this was the true face of this world.

But …

Su Ping remembered the people in the Tower who were drinking, enjoying themselves, and watching their pets fight. All of a sudden, Su Ping found it ironic.

"Fate Challenger Su …" Yun Wanli looked at Su Ping. He wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. He was worried.

Su Ping immediately understood what Yun Wanli meant. Yun Wanli wanted Su Ping to be careful with his words.

Su Ping couldn't help but chuckle. "There are many legendary battle pet warriors in the Tower. Those legendary battle pet warriors are enjoying themselves while those who are willing to sacrifice themselves are risking their lives here. Do you think they deserve me to hide the truth for them?"

Yun Wanli's expression changed. He looked around, embarrassed.

The one-eared old man's face was clouded. He gazed at Su Ping for a moment, then heaved a sigh and shook his head.

The passionate legendary battle pet warriors were stunned by Su Ping's words.

Soon, everyone understood what Su Ping was trying to say after noticing Yun Wanli's expression.

All of them were legendary battle pet warriors. They were comrades who had gone through life and death together in the Deep Caves. They didn't play any tricks, but they weren't naive either.

After a moment of silence, the old man named Mo said, "Brother Su, I know what you're trying to say. We all know that."

"You know?" Su Ping looked at the old man and then at the others. None of them said anything but they didn't seem to be surprised or angry. Su Ping was surprised.

"We've been here for many years and we know what kind of people those legendary battle pet warriors are. They can't wait to leave. As a matter of fact, they left without looking back once their service was over."

As Old Man Mo spoke, he suddenly smiled and said, "But like we said before, we don't blame them for leaving. Staying here is our choice."

"That's right." Another black-haired young man said in a low voice, "I'm willing to stay. It's Senior Li. He's the one who's been here the longest. He's been here for eight hundred years, ever since he became a legendary battle pet warrior. Senior Li showed me what it means to be a true legendary battle pet warrior!"

"That's right."

Another middle-aged man added, "Legendary battle pet warrior is not just a title. It's also an honor and contribution! We're willing to stay here. No matter how many people don't want to come in, that's their business. If everyone acted like them, then the human race would be doomed. "

"That's right. Some people should make sacrifices. We're willing to stay."

"I'm willing to stay because of everyone else. To be honest, I wanted to leave this place as soon as I finished my service. But they were all here. Old Mo has been here for three hundred years, Zhou has been here for five hundred years, and Brother Li has been here for eight hundred years …"

"And I've only been here for fifty years? I'm not going to lose to them! "

"You guys, I've told you. I've been here for eight hundred years because I'm tired of staying on land. This place is more exciting. I told you to get out of here. Stop talking about me, okay?" An ordinary-looking young man picked his ear with his little finger and said in a bad mood. He was Old Man Li, who everyone was talking about for 800 years.
