"Is he going to be okay?"
"What kind of battle pet is that? I've never seen it before …"
"That's unbelievable. He can use over a hundred legendary rank skills at once. His energy reserves alone are at the Void State …"
The legendary battle pet warriors were shocked to see Su Ping stepping into the swirl.
Such a powerful battle pet made them wonder if Su Ping was really at the titled rank.
Li Yuanfeng had witnessed Su Ping's strength in the Corridor. He knew that the golden hound was not Su Ping's most powerful battle pet. He was just worried about Su Ping's safety.
…
Whoosh!
As soon as he stepped into the swirl, Su Ping sensed the chaotic space blades around him, stripping away his legendary rank defensive skills.
The one hundred defensive skills would not last for more than ten seconds!
"That way …"
Thanks to the contract, Su Ping could vaguely sense the Little Skeleton's location. Without further ado, he mobilized the Inferno Dragon's energy and gathered it around him.
Formless Sword!
Bang!
A dark ray of sword light swept away all the space blades. At the same time, a crack was torn open in front of him. A faint light came out from the crack.
Su Ping stepped out and left the tunnel.
The tunnel was long and short at the same time. It would be dangerous to walk slowly and look for the coordinates; it would be easy to get lost.
However, Su Ping had the contract as a guide and the Formless Sword. He cut open the tunnel.
No matter how long the distance was, the sword would return to zero!
"Is this … the Corridor?"
Su Ping was surprised to see the familiar place as soon as he stepped out of the tunnel.
He had reached the Corridor with one move?
The spacious corridor, the dim light, and the pungent smell of feces and blood in the air told Su Ping that he was in the nest of the beast kings from the Deep Caves!
"It seems that the formation has lost its effect …"
Su Ping wasn't too happy. Instead, his heart was heavy. His attack was powerful, but the damage it caused to space was only comparable to that of the Fate State.
The average Fate State beast kings were capable of folding and freezing space, as well as cutting off different spaces to teleport. If any of the Deep Caves' Beast Kings were at the Fate State, they would have been able to leave the Deep Caves without alarming anyone!
"It's not an 'if', but a certainty … There must be Fate State Beast Kings in the Deep Caves, or even … Star State ones!"
Su Ping's face darkened.
Once the Fate State Beast Kings left, they would notice the decline of the divine formation.
If that was the case …
A horrifying thought popped up in Su Ping's mind. He looked around and didn't waste any more time. He called back the Inferno Dragon and the Dark Dragon Hound and rushed toward the contract.
He could tell where the Little Skeleton was and how far it was from the Little Skeleton.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Su Ping kept teleporting and flashing as he ran at full speed.
Skeletons of huge beasts could be seen along the way. Most of the skeletons were scattered.
Su Ping dashed along the corridor. Just as he had expected, he didn't run into any wild beasts along the way!
His heart sank even more.
Half an hour later.
Su Ping felt he was very close to the Little Skeleton.
He could even send messages to the Little Skeleton through the contract in his mind.
He could tell that the Little Skeleton was rushing toward him from the other side of the Corridor. They would meet up in the Deep Caves soon!
During that half an hour, Su Ping had only run into three Ocean State beast kings. They were all injured and were recovering in their nests.
Su Ping's heart was heavy as he killed them.
The beast kings in the Corridor seemed to have been hollowed out.
Clearly, the beast kings … had all left.
That was to say, the beast kings were probably lurking around the surface!
But according to the information he had gathered from Qin Duhuang and Yun Wanli, while there were many wild beasts around the world and the situation was dire, it was not a hopeless situation yet.
Given the number of beast kings in the Deep Caves, the entire world would have been in a state of panic if they were to attack.
Did the Tower cover up the information so that the public wouldn't panic?
Su Ping denied that idea.
If the beast kings from the Deep Caves were to attack in groups, the Tower would not be able to cover it up. Even if the Tower did, it would be pointless because it would be the end of mankind.
Su Ping frowned and pondered, "What are those beasts hiding on the surface? What are they afraid of?"
He had a feeling that there were secrets about the Blue Star that he didn't know.
For example, why did the Otherworld Heavenly King attack the Longjiang Base City?
He had been wondering about that for a long time. The Otherworld Heavenly King didn't have to mobilize so many beast kings just to hunt. That attack seemed to have a purpose!
What was there in the Longjiang Base City that could attract the attention of the Otherworld Heavenly King?
"Those wild beasts have left the Deep Caves. Li and the others are still guarding the Wind Field. They don't know about that yet …" Su Ping thought of Li Yuanfeng and the others. None of the people guarding the Wind Field were at the Fate State!
Even in the Tower, those at the Void State were close to the ceiling!
Fate State … That Tower Master was the only one at the Fate State!
Since no one at the Fate State was at the Void State, no one at the Void State would be able to detect the weakening of the formation or the situation in the Corridor.
"It's a complete waste of manpower for them to stay there. But they aren't idiots. If the beasts in the Corridor didn't attack them, they wouldn't have stayed there all this time. Could it be that … the beasts are hiding somewhere else and are pretending to attack just to restrain them?"
Su Ping's eyes glowed. That was a scary thought but it could be true.
He could not underestimate the intelligence of those wild beasts!
Su Ping had seen many cunning wild beasts in the cultivation sites. Some of the wild beasts at the eighth and ninth rank were even more cunning when it came to hunting!
Those wild beasts in the Deep Caves weren't in a state of disunity. They were a group of rulers!
He had seen that when he left the Deep Caves and saw many wild beasts hibernating on the plain.
The ruler of the wild beasts in the Deep Caves was playing a game of chess!
That game of chess was about overturning the world and dominating the Blue Star!
Mankind would be the loser on the chessboard. They would be wiped out from the Blue Star!
"The Tower doesn't know about this yet. I have to go back and tell them," Su Ping said to himself.
The ruler of the Deep Caves wouldn't have thought that someone would have the courage to enter the Corridor and their lair.
Whoosh!
Right then, Su Ping felt the contract in his head was getting hotter. The Little Skeleton was only dozens of kilometers away!
Summon!
Su Ping used the contract's ability to summon the Little Skeleton!
As long as the Little Skeleton was not in a fight and was within a certain range, he could summon the Little Skeleton to his side. That was the difference between the contract with a spirit beast and the contract with astral powers.
Whoosh!
There was a flash of light in front of Su Ping. The next second, a white skeleton appeared out of nowhere and stumbled out of the teleportation portal.
Su Ping's heart was pounding.
Finally, he wasn't late. He had found the Little Skeleton!
"This is great!"
"I'm so glad that I found you!!"
Su Ping hugged the Little Skeleton. He was touched beyond words.
He had to rely on the Little Skeleton to escape from the Deep Caves. Su Ping was afraid that something would happen to the Little Skeleton if he was too late. Finally, he could let go of that worry.
The Little Skeleton was still in Su Ping's arms. After a moment of daze, the Little Skeleton raised its arms and hugged Su Ping's back.
Two swirls appeared behind Su Ping. The Inferno Dragon and the Dark Dragon Hound crawled out. Both of them howled in joy as they saw the Little Skeleton.
"Let me take a look at you."
Su Ping hugged the Little Skeleton for a while. Then, he let go of the Little Skeleton and checked it up and down.
The Little Skeleton was the same as when he left. Not much had changed. However, the Little Skeleton seemed to have become stronger. It had reached the peak of the ninth rank.
"You must have had a hard time." Su Ping patted the Little Skeleton's smooth head, feeling sorry for the little skeleton.
There were no wounds on the Little Skeleton's bones. Still, Su Ping knew that the Little Skeleton must have gone through a brutal and arduous battle. The Little Skeleton's self-healing ability prevented others from seeing those wounds.
But not seeing them didn't mean that they weren't there!
"It's … not hard …"
The Little Skeleton's childish voice came out as it opened and closed its mouth.
Su Ping was stunned.
The Little Skeleton … could talk?
He didn't quite know how to react. In his mind, the little skeleton had always been slow and sluggish. It would only be sensitive in battle and was usually a little silly.
He had thought that the Little Skeleton would have to be at least at the Fate State to learn how to talk.
The Inferno Dragon and the Dark Dragon Hound stopped cheering and stared at the Little Skeleton in shock. Soon, the Inferno Dragon turned to the Dark Dragon Hound. The Dark Dragon Hound realized what the dragon was thinking and glared at it.
Of the three of them, the Dark Dragon Hound was the only one that couldn't talk.
The Inferno Dragon grinned at the Dark Dragon Hound. It didn't try to hide its mockery.
The Dark Dragon Hound stomped its feet and scratched the ground with its paws.
Su Ping ignored the playful Dark Dragon Hound and the Inferno Dragon. He suddenly felt sad. While he was away, the Little Skeleton had fallen into the Deep Caves all by itself. It went without saying that the Little Skeleton had been through horrifying things. Besides, they were in reality, not a cultivation site.
The Little Skeleton only had one life!
But the Little Skeleton had survived.
The Little Skeleton was strong and hard to kill, but that didn't mean that it was easy to survive.
The Little Skeleton should be treated with gentleness because it was strong, shouldn't it?
Su Ping was deeply moved. He didn't know what to say. He hugged the Little Skeleton's head and hugged it.
The Little Skeleton's head was cold but Su Ping could feel its warmth.
"I'm sorry. I won't let you leave again," Su Ping said in a low voice.
The Little Skeleton buried its head in Su Ping's chest. After a long while, the Little Skeleton said, "Okay."
Su Ping calmed himself down. He thought about all the speculations he had made. His mind was weighed down again. He asked the Little Skeleton, "Do you know when the wild beasts left?"
The fact that the Little Skeleton was able to survive here meant that it knew everything about the Corridor.
"Yes …"
The Little Skeleton nodded.
Su Ping knew that the Little Skeleton was still not used to talking. He asked the Little Skeleton about the situation through the contract.
Soon, Su Ping gained a basic understanding of the changes in the Deep Caves through mental communication.
"They left three days ago … So, it hasn't been that long."
Su Ping was relieved.
It would have been even more horrifying if the wild beasts had left earlier and stayed on the surface.
"I have to tell them right away … But, all the wild beasts in the Deep Caves have left. I wonder … what is going on in the depths of the Deep Caves?" Su Ping wanted to go back and tell Li Yuanfeng so that he could inform the Tower. But then, he remembered the Deep Caves.
He had never been to the depths of the Deep Caves!
Su Ping had learned from Li Yuanfeng that the Deep Caves were divided into two levels.
The Corridor was the upper level. Below the Corridor was the depths of the Deep Caves, the real lair of the Deep Caves!
The wild beasts lived and bred there. The weaker ones would have to leave the lair of the Deep Caves and go to the Corridor. The lair of the Deep Caves was filled with more powerful wild beasts.
He wondered if the lair of the Deep Caves was empty as well.
With that in mind, Su Ping frowned.
This was a rare opportunity. Usually, he would have to run into many beast kings to go to the depths of the Deep Caves.
But if all the wild beasts were gone, he would be able to see the true face of the Deep Caves!
"Let's go and take a look!"
Su Ping made up his mind.
It was risky, but he had the Void Sword. If he ran into a large number of wild beasts in the Deep Caves, he would be able to break open the void and run away. If the lair was empty, he might be able to find something useful.
The Little Skeleton, the Inferno Dragon, and the Dark Dragon Hound agreed. They were used to following Su Ping's orders, no matter how dangerous it was.
Su Ping called back the Inferno Dragon and the Dark Dragon Hound. They were too big and could be easily exposed. He could always call them when he was in danger.
Whoosh!
Su Ping held the Little Skeleton's hand and flew forward.
The path was empty. There were no beast kings in the Corridor, which made the place seem desolate.
Bones and feces were everywhere. The mucus of some unknown wild beasts was left on the walls, which made the place look gloomy and hideous.
They would run into some beast kings on the way, but most of them were injured and recovering in their lair.
Su Ping killed them. Not even a beast king at the Void State could defeat him!
Four or five hours later, Su Ping and the Little Skeleton finally arrived at the depths of the Corridor. They had taken many detours along the way. The Corridor was as complicated as a maze. Su Ping didn't dare to open it up with the Void Sword like he did in the Deep Caves. He didn't want to startle anything down there.
