Su Ping and Su Lingyue were nowhere to be seen. Su Lingyue's face was ghastly pale. She bit her lips and said, "I've caused you trouble again …"
She knew that there could only be one explanation for Su Ping's appearance, that he was looking for her.
Su Lingyue's heart ached at the thought that Su Ping had come all the way from the Longjiang Base City to this dangerous place. She didn't dare to look into Su Ping's eyes.
"Why are you here?" Su Ping was both angry and sorry to see her pale face. She was always causing trouble for him.
"They caught Snowball and brought it here. I came in to look for it …" Su Lingyue's voice was getting lower and lower.
She went in to look for Snowball. She was surrounded by beast kings when she reached the deeper parts of the base city. She had no way out so she had to keep running. That was how she ended up here.
She realized that she was surrounded by beast kings when she arrived. She didn't dare to go anywhere. She had to stay there and wait for death to claim her.
She had given up hope of surviving. She didn't expect to see Su Ping when she was on the verge of collapsing.
"Them?"
Su Ping was surprised by her words. A glint of killing intent rose in his eyes. "Are you talking about that student named Nan from the academy?"
"You know him?"
Su Lingyue was surprised. Then, she realized that Su Ping must have gone to the academy since he was here.
"How could they have caught Snowball? Even if they did, this is a forbidden area of your academy. Don't you know how dangerous it is? Is it worth it for a pet?"
Su Ping restrained his killing intent. He was just as angry at Su Lingyue.
He could always buy another pet. Besides, that Phantom Flame Beast that was as black as charcoal wasn't a battle pet with a rare bloodline.
"I know this is a forbidden area, but Snowball has always been with me … Besides, you've trained it and it's very strong now. I can't let anything happen to it …" Su Lingyue bit her lips. Tears were welling up in her eyes, not because of Su Ping's scolding tone, but because she regretted seeing Su Ping there.
She knew what kind of place this was. Su Ping basically had nowhere to go when he came here.
"Then you came in to accompany it?"
Su Ping snapped.
Seeing her so upset, he wanted to get angry, but he was also a little discouraged.
He would have done the same thing if it were his own battle pet.
"Did you find Snowball?"
"Found it."
"How did it get taken away? Shouldn't it be in the contract space?"
"… It likes to play. I always let it stay by my side," Su Lingyue whispered.
Su Ping rolled his eyes. Snowball's playfulness almost got its master killed. It seemed that he hadn't trained the Phantom Flame Beast well enough.
"Give it to me when we go back. I will train it again," Su Ping said.
Su Lingyue looked at him in confusion. She had a feeling that Su Ping was talking about killing the Phantom Flame Beast!
But …
Could they go back?
Su Lingyue lowered her voice and said, "I'm a burden to you again …"
"It's good that you know. Put it on my tab," Su Ping interrupted her grumpily.
Su Ping knew that this girl was a proud person. She must be feeling bad and regretful for saying something like that in such a humble way. Still, he thought it was necessary to teach her a lesson.
After all, the Deep Caves was not a place to be fooled around.
Li Yuanfeng looked at the siblings and smiled. "Now that we have found your sister, we can go back."
"Yes."
Su Ping felt better facing Li Yuanfeng. He said to Su Lingyue, "This is not the place to talk. Let me show you the way."
Su Lingyue looked up. "There are five beast kings around here. We will run into them if we leave."
"Run if you run into them," Su Ping didn't want to waste time explaining. He opened the scroll and said, "Go inside and have a good rest."
"I can help you. Xiaoyue has learned a powerful stealth skill, like the one I just used. She can hide her presence and sound completely. That's how I managed to stay here without being noticed. But I can't move too fast …" Su Lingyue said in a hurry.
Su Ping could tell that the skill she had used was strange. Still, he shook his head. "You don't have much astral power left. Go and have a rest. If we can get in, we can find a way to get out. You will only be a burden to us."
Su Lingyue opened her mouth. She wanted to say something else.
Li Yuanfeng chuckled. "Listen to your brother. We've wasted a lot of time here. We have to go."
Su Lingyue had no choice but to give up and crawl into the scroll. Before she left, she gave Su Ping a meaningful look and said, "If we run into any danger, you must go out. It's okay if I die. My parents are counting on you to take care of them …"
"Don't jinx it. Get out of here," Su Ping said grumpily.
At the same time, he pushed her head into the scroll.
"…"
Su Lingyue fell headfirst into the scroll.
Li Yuanfeng didn't know what to say as he saw Su Ping close the scroll so violently.
"Let's go. We can go back now," Su Ping said to Li Yuanfeng.
Li Yuanfeng was confused. He asked Su Ping, "Brother SU, do you have a girlfriend?"
"What do I need a girlfriend for?"
"…"
…
Deep inside the Corridor.
This was a huge hole that faced downwards. At the bottom of this hole was the lowest level of the abyss, which was also the true lair of all the demonic beasts.
However, the nest at the lowest level had been fully occupied by the beasts.
In a situation where the team was full, the weak would naturally be excluded.
Therefore, many demonic beasts were pushed out to the corridors outside the cavern, where they built their nests and lived.
At the moment, at the edge of the hole, there was a huge nest. It was pitch dark inside and many huge skeletons were scattered around. Those were the bones that had been gnawed.
In the darkness, a crimson eye suddenly opened.
It was a deep vertical pupil with a complicated structure. There seemed to be countless fibers entangled in the pupil, which was filled with coldness.
Whoosh!
A four-winged beast flew over. The beast looked like a lion but its neck was extended upward, making it look more like a strong human being. The four-winged beast landed in front of the crimson eye. The four-winged beast was only as big as the eye!
"General, how can I help you?"
The four-winged beast lowered its head and asked with respect.
The crimson eye rolled and a deep and loud voice came out, "I have smelled some bugs. Find them and kill them!"
The four-winged beast was slightly startled and hurriedly agreed respectfully.
