"We will stay here. You can go back. Ask Brother SU for me how the Lin family is doing and if there are any outstanding titled battle pet warriors."
Some of them stayed behind to guard the valley.
Some of his friends agreed with a smile. They went back to the base city with Su Ping.
Su Ping found it strange that they were all asking questions. "Didn't the Tower contact you while you were here?"
Those legendary battle pet warriors were stationed in the Deep Caves all the time and had no way of knowing what was going on outside. Still, the Tower was there to act as a bridge. At the very least, they wouldn't be cut off from the outside world.
"The environment in the Deep Caves is harsh and the Tower can't contact us all the time. They can only send us some important messages. We can't afford to waste this precious opportunity just because of some trivial matters in our families." A middle-aged legendary battle pet warrior said with a smile. He had lost an arm and it couldn't grow back. He must have suffered some kind of attack that couldn't be healed.
Another old man said, "I've been here for over three hundred years. I'm one of the late ones. Brother Tieyi came here over a hundred years ago. He said that the Mo family was doing well and that we had some outstanding titled battle pet warriors. I wonder how things are going now that a hundred years have passed."
"Are the base cities still the same?" a legendary battle pet warrior chimed in.
Su Ping looked at the old man and asked curiously, "You've been serving here for three hundred years? I thought legendary battle pet warriors only needed to stay here for fifty years? "
Yun Wanli was nervous after hearing Su Ping's question.
The old man shook his head with a smile and said, "Although the higher-ups said 50 years is enough, I was only prepared to stay here for 50 years. But after I came in, too many things happened. I couldn't stay for the first year. Then, I slowly stayed for 10 years, and then 20 years … Then, an old friend died here in order to save me. You also saw the situation in this abyss. There are so many Demonic Beasts that you can't kill them all!"
"Few legendary battle pet warriors are already here and it's not easy for a legendary battle pet warrior to come out. Who will stay here if we leave?"
"If there's no one guarding it, the entire continent will suffer. At that time, the families we protect will also face disaster!"
The other young man nodded. "Xiao Mo is right. We can't kill all the wild beasts here. The number of legendary battle pet warriors that the Tower is sending in is decreasing year by year. If we leave, something big will happen. I've been here for five hundred years and I've been fighting and suppressing the wild beasts for five hundred years. Many senior battle pet warriors have fallen in front of me and I'm still alive because of their help."
"That's why I won't leave. I'm going to guard this place. I'm going to guard this place so that I can protect the descendants of those seniors' clans!"
"That's right. You can only enter, but not leave!" said another bald legendary warrior. His voice was deep and straightforward.
The other Legends didn't say anything, but their expressions showed their thoughts.
Su Ping couldn't believe it.
That was different from the legendary battle pet warriors of the Tower.
He had already exceeded his term of service, but he was still guarding this place and fighting for his life?
Su Ping believed that these people were not lying.
That could only mean that they were truly willing to give their all here!
For the sake of peace on the surface!
All of a sudden, Su Ping didn't know what to say as he looked at the scars on their bodies.
After a long while, he finally asked, "Did any of the legendary battle pet warriors who came here leave after their term of service?"
The old man who was 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 things that they cherish. Moreover, fighting here is completely putting their lives on the line. No one knows if they can survive until tomorrow. Just like today, if not for Brother Su's support, there might be casualties among us again."
"That's right."
"It's their freedom to leave after their term of service."
"It's our choice to stay."
"You can't force people to leave. We don't blame those who leave."
The others chimed in.
After a moment of silence, Su Ping asked, "You've just joined the Tower. Have you been sent here to serve?"
"Of course. That's the rule of the Tower."
"Those who are here are new to the Tower. Occasionally, some senior members of the Tower would be willing to come here. For example, Mr. Yun was already at the Void State and he joined the Tower a long time ago. He came back after he finished his term of service. Unfortunately, he died in a battle four hundred years ago."
"Brother SU, you must be careful with your words."
An old man with one ear stepped forward and gave Su Ping a meaningful look.
Su Ping was surprised by the old man's words. He was the one who had been silent the whole time. Su Ping looked at the old man's eyes. All of a sudden, he understood what the old man was trying to say.
At this moment, he thought of many things and suddenly 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 true strength and refuse to join the Tower to avoid serving in the Deep Caves, even though they had already reached the legendary rank. They would rather live a low-key life than go to the Deep Caves.
The old man from the Qin family that Su Ping had killed during the Supremacy League was one of them.
Some legendary battle pet warriors joined the Tower for the sake of obtaining the Tower's resources. However, they would leave as soon as they finished their term of service, as if they had completed their mission.
Those legendary battle pet warriors were the ones standing in front of Su Ping.
Those legendary battle pet warriors couldn't be stopped after they started serving in the Deep Caves.
Maybe …
They would stay there until they died in battle!
People could be divided into different classes. The legendary battle pet warriors were the same.
Kind people would be bullied. The kind ones would suffer the most. The legendary battle pet warriors were the same.
Maybe, that was how the world should be like.
But …
Su Ping thought of those legendary battle pet warriors who were drinking and enjoying themselves in the Tower. All of a sudden, he found it ironic.
"Renegade Su …" Yun Wanli looked at Su Ping. He wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. He was worried.
Su Ping knew what Yun Wanli was trying to say. He wanted Su Ping to be careful with his words.
Su Ping sneered. "The Tower doesn't lack legendary battle pet warriors. Those legendary battle pet warriors are hiding there and enjoying themselves while those who are willing to risk their lives. Do they deserve me to hide the truth for them?"
Yun Wanli's expression changed. He looked around and felt embarrassed.
The single-eared old man pulled a long face as well. He gazed at Su Ping for a moment before he looked away and shook his head with a sigh.
The legendary battle pet warriors who had been exuding enthusiasm were stunned by Su Ping's words.
They soon understood what Su Ping meant when they noticed the look on Yun Wanli's face.
All of them were legendary battle pet warriors. They had been fighting in the Deep Caves for a long time and they had never played any tricks. However, they weren't completely naive.
After a moment of silence, the old man with the surname Mo said, "Brother SU, I know what you mean. We all know that."
"You do?" Su Ping looked at the old man and then around. No one else said anything but they didn't seem to be surprised or angry. Su Ping was surprised.
"After all, we have been here for so many years and so many legendary battle pet warriors have come. We know what kind of people those legendary battle pet warriors are. They couldn't wait to leave. As a matter of fact, they did leave without looking back once their service was over."
As the old man with the surname Mo spoke, he suddenly smiled and continued, "However, like we said before, we don't blame them for leaving. Us staying is our choice."
"That's right." Another young man with black hair lowered his voice. "I chose to stay because of Senior Li. He has been here for the longest time. He has been here for eight hundred years. He has been here ever since he reached the legendary rank. He has been here ever since he became a Void State warrior. Senior Li taught me what righteousness is and what a real legendary battle pet warrior is!"
"That's right."
Another middle-aged man added, "Legendary battle pet warrior is more than just a title. It is also an honor and contribution! We chose to stay here. No matter how many people don't want to come in, that's their business. Humanity would be doomed if everyone was like them. "
"Yes, some people have to contribute. We're willing to stay."
"I chose to stay because of everyone. To be honest, I wanted to leave this place as soon as I finished my service. But I saw that they were all here. Senior Mo has been here for three hundred years. Zhou has been here for five hundred years. Brother Li has been here for eight hundred years …"
"And I've only been here for fifty years? I won't lose to them! "
"You guys, I told you. I've been here for eight hundred years because I was tired of staying on land. This place is more exciting. You should get the hell out of here. Stop talking about me, okay?" An ordinary-looking young man picked his ear with his little finger and said grumpily. He was Senior Li, who had been here for eight hundred years.
